<p>Welcome to the final &#8230; and arguably the most important of our series on your I-Marketer&#8217;s Toolkit. Today we&#8217;re going to talk about Training.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve covered a lot about online marketing tools over the last week. We&#8217;ve talked about web hosting, autoresponders, video marketing systems, lead capture and prospecting systems, and online conferencing. All of these items are necessary to a successful Internet business. However, they won&#8217;t be any good to you if you don;t know how to use them and use them correctly.</p>
<p>In the years I&#8217;ve been in business online I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve run into what were apparently really great tools I could use to build my business, only to sign up, get inside, marvel at the wonder of this new &#8230; whatever-it-was &#8230; and then find out that not only was it way past my knowledge at the time to figure out how to use it, but there was no way there for me to LEARN how to use it. Oh sure, there were instructions, but certainly nothing I could have understood at the time.</p>
<p>This series has been directed mainly at folks just starting out to work on the Internet. Let me ask you guys a question  &#8230;</p>
<p>How many of you would understand these sentences easily: &#8220;Insert your LCP URL into your rotator. Make sure the form on your LCP is single opt in. Then use your system &#8220;/page2.php&#8221; link as the thank you page. Now simply drive traffic to your rotator! You&#8217;re all set up!&#8221;</p>
<p>Huh?</p>
<p>Well, yes &#8230; it&#8217;s actually simple and you probably ARE &#8220;all set up&#8221; at that point &#8230; but how many people just starting out are going to handle it easily without being intimidated, confused, and eventually overwhelmed? Very few, I would guess.</p>
<p>Additionally, how many times, as a Newbie, did I run into things like that and then discover that the &#8220;whatever-it-was&#8221; I was trying to set up supplied no way for me to actually contact a PERSON. Even worse, there were no conference calls, conference rooms, or phone numbers for me to do that either.</p>
<p>Well, this is a great danger &#8230; even today &#8230; for anyone starting to put together an Internet business, and it applies to ALL the tools we&#8217;ve discussed over the last week.</p>
<p>For ANY of the items we&#8217;ve gone over, you want to make sure that there is good, solid training available. You also want to make sure that training is available in both LIVE and RECORDED forms &#8230; AND &#8230; you want to make sure the trainers are top notch.</p>
<p>Now, that&#8217;s a lot to ask for, but I&#8217;m going to go even further. When I say &#8220;top notch&#8221; trainers, I&#8217;m not just talking good. What I mean is: they are SO good that the specific program will advertise THEIR NAMES right up front &#8230; as one of the selling points of that particular tool. They should be names YOU KNOW. Or &#8230; if you don&#8217;t know them &#8230; you should be able to Google them and immediately find tons and tons of GOOD THINGS about them.</p>
<p>OK &#8230; now we&#8217;re asking for quite a lot here, and the candidates are dwindling. Lots of programs offer &#8220;Complete Training&#8221; &#8230; but most of them have it supplied by Primo Schminke or Ferd Berfell (two competent trainers I&#8217;m sure), but NOT by people that are well known for BEING TRAINERS. That&#8217;s the point! If you want training &#8230; you should look to a Professional Trainer &#8230; not some program member who might know the program but isn&#8217;t experienced at TEACHING &#8230; which is what training is all about. You see, it&#8217;s not the knowledge of the subject that&#8217;s important here &#8230; that&#8217;s simple &#8220;Support&#8221;. Training involves the ability to TEACH &#8230; and that&#8217;s what you need to be sure to look for.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m going to take it even one step further &#8230;</p>
<p>Why should the training provided be limited to simply the use of the tool provided by the supplier you choose? Now that&#8217;s an interesting question.</p>
<p>Look at it this way:</p>
<p>The supplier of a tool you&#8217;re going to use to build your Internet business has a vested interest in your success in whatever your business is! The fact is that you are going to pay to use that tool, probably on a monthly basis. The tool system provider is going to be making money off of you as you use it and continue to do so. BUT &#8230; what happens if you fail in your Primary Business? Well, at that point &#8230; you&#8217;ll most likely cancel your subscription to whatever I-Marketing tool we&#8217;re talking about, and the company providing it no longer receives your payment!</p>
<p>What I just described is a run of the mill, daily occurrence with most I-Marketing tool suppliers. They offer &#8220;support&#8221;, but no training that looks any further than how to use the tool they supply. What they focus on is a narrow field of interest, looking only at what THEY are doing &#8230; not at what YOU are. As a result, they focus on bringing more and more new people daily into their system, so when the older ones drop out they are simply replaced &#8230; with new people who will fail &#8230; and be replaced in turn.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m going to supply you with <em>THE BIG DEMAND IN TRAINING</em>.</p>
<p>What you want to look for is an I-Marketing Tool provider that looks further than that. There are companies out there that supply, not just training on how to use their tools, but training on how to use them to build your business &#8230; whatever it might be that you&#8217;re promoting. I&#8217;m talking about companies that provide simple tools, offer training in how to use those, but ALSO offer great training by experts in affiliate marketing, MLM, network marketing, etc. There are tool providers out there who offer sales training, follow up training, lead generation training, motivational training &#8230; TONS of things that they provide to benefit YOU and your business &#8230; but that really have nothing to do with the particular tool they provide.</p>
<p>The fact is, these companies &#8230; and there aren&#8217;t many of them &#8230; see the big picture. They know that if YOU succeed in YOUR business &#8230; you will keep paying to use their tools! It&#8217;s that simple! It makes good business sense, but the vast majority of I-Marketing tool providers are simply blind to it.</p>
<p>THAT&#8217;S the BIG DEMAND you need to make when you look for tools for your I-Marketer&#8217;s <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.net/item.php?name=Brand Cialis">Brand Cialis</a>  Toolkit. Training &#8230; available live, recorded, and personally &#8230; provided by people who have great reputations and are well-known as TRAINERS &#8230; AND that covers ALL areas of your online business, not just how to use the tools.</p>
<p><strong>================================<br />
CONCLUSION</strong></p>
<p>Well &#8230; here we are at the end of our series on your I-Marketer&#8217;s Toolkit. We&#8217;ve covered a lot over the last 6 days.</p>
<p>I debated as to whether or not I was going to do what I&#8217;m about to when we reached the end &#8230; but I&#8217;ve decided &#8230; what the hell! I am!</p>
<p>Listen, I&#8217;ve been working online for years now. I&#8217;ve seen programs in all the categories we&#8217;ve covered come and go regularly. I&#8217;ve been a member, user, and promoter of many of them, both good and bad.</p>
<p>I have NEVER found one company that provided EVERYTHING we&#8217;ve talked about, and certainly not at the price it&#8217;s offered by GVO.</p>
<p>GVO is Global Virtual Opportunity. It&#8217;s my one most important recommendation to anyone starting out to work online who&#8217;s trying to get their Toolkit together. It&#8217;s also the most important thing I can recommend to the experienced marketer who wants to SAVE MONEY and have the best I-Marketing tools available.</p>
<p>Not only does GVO provide ALL of the things we&#8217;ve covered over the last 6 days &#8230; it supplies much, much more. GVO is also a great income opportunity with a great pay plan! If you;re just starting out and not quite sure what you want to promote &#8230; GVO is a great place to start! By joining GVO you get everything you need to market online &#8230; and a business that can bring you a great income.</p>
<p>So &#8230; what do I mean when I talk about a &#8220;reasonable price&#8221;?</p>
<p>GVO is $44.95 a month.</p>
<p>No &#8230; seriously.</p>
<p>When I joined GVO I immediately began saving over $200 a month because of all the other accounts I was able to cancel. Now, as a member, I can grow my business and lists as big as I want &#8230; and never get penalized by those &#8220;sliding scale&#8221; charges like other companies use. I can take advantage of training provided by the likes of Janet Legere, Chet Hastings, Ken Hammond, Mark Call, Joel Therien, Gerry Schroeder, Jamie Ohler, Jerry Meyer, Keith Carberry &#8230; AND &#8230; Marshall Sylver! Hey &#8230; don;t take my word &#8230; Google &#8216;em!</p>
<p>You can join GVO on the $1 Trial for 14 days. If you don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s everything I&#8217;ve said &#8230; quit! I don&#8217;t care! The reason I don&#8217;t care is simple: I know you won&#8217;t.</p>
<p>So &#8230; here&#8217;s the big invitation at the end: I invite you to join me in GVO. When you do, I&#8217;ll be there, as well as all the folks I listed above, to help you every step of the way &#8230; personally.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to see a presentation about GVO, you can visit the Academy at: <a href="http://gvoacademy.com" target="_blank"><strong>http://gvoacademy.com</strong></a> and simply log in to any of the opportunity presentations &#8230; you&#8217;ll see the schedule right there.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a fireball and want to get inside and look around right now &#8230; <a href="http://stevemax1.gogvo.com/index2.php" target="_blank"><strong>CLICK HERE</strong></a></p>
<p>Thanks for following this series. I&#8217;m going to take a couple of days off of posting here and then get back in the saddle. I hope you found the series informative. Yes, I do have a GVO slant to all this, but the information is my true advice &#8230; built from my own experience &#8230; and delivered to you with the hope that you find it helpful.</p>
<p>Have a GREAT Day!</p>

<p>Well &#8230; hello again. Welcome to the fifth in our series of posts concerning your I-Marketer&#8217;s Toolkit. If you&#8217;ve been with us from the beginning you&#8217;ll know we&#8217;ve covered quite a bit of information so far this week &#8230; and there&#8217;s still more to come. We&#8217;ve talked about web hosting, video marketing, autoresponders, and yesterday we covered lead capture and prospecting systems. I know that&#8217;s a lot of information for one week, but we&#8217;ll go into each one in more depth in one way or another as time goes on.</p>
<p>Today we&#8217;ll be talking some about online conferencing. If you&#8217;ve been on the Internet for long, especially if you&#8217;ve been working online or thinking about doing so, you&#8217;ve probably run into online conferencing in one form or another. If you&#8217;re a &#8220;newbie&#8221; at all this, I can already hear that question coming up in your mind again: &#8220;Why do I need this right now? I wouldn&#8217;t even know what to do with it?&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, the answer to that is the same as the times you asked it previously: you will soon enough, and the sooner you get yourself exposed to using it the better in the long run.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve been around MLM or network marketing as long as I have, you&#8217;ll remember the days when conference calls on the phone were state-of-the-art. You&#8217;ll also recall what a pain it could be to simply have voice contact with no graphics or video, no desktop sharing, none of the things that make today&#8217;s online conferencing so powerful. You&#8217;ll also remember how expensive it could be on your phone bill to sit on an open line for an hour cross-country or internationally. True, the folks holding the phone conference could take that expense off of you by providing an &#8220;800&#8243; line for the call, but that made the conference more expensive for them.</p>
<p>When online conferencing first began to appear, the rooms were usually software based. This meant that when you logged in to any system for the first time you needed to download software into your own computer &#8230; the &#8220;room&#8221; itself &#8230; which would then connect with other rooms. There were sometimes problems with this when the software would have conflicts with a particular system. At that time a normal room would have audio, a chat box where people could converse by typing, and a large portion of the screen devoted to whatever presentation the owner wished to display. These were limited to web pages or Powerpoint presentations.</p>
<p>Today, the best online conference rooms employ a &#8220;Flash&#8221; based system where nothing is downloaded into your computer. The rooms simply open in your Internet browser as a window and operate from there. All participants should have access to typing in the chat box, hearing and being heard on audio, and seeing whoever is speaking through the incorporation of webcams. The Powerpoint presentations are still in use, but added to that you&#8217;ll find the capability to display videos, use &#8220;whiteboards&#8221;, share files, and a great newer innovation called &#8220;Desktop Sharing&#8221; where a presenter can actually display his own computer screen to the room for instruction purposes. &#8220;Private Messaging&#8221; is also now usually available, a feature that allows individual room attendees to communicate privately without involving the entire room.</p>
<p>Today, conferencing is used extensively by many large corporations as a way to save travel expenses when meetings are necessary between people in different locations. Many large companies have been using online conferencing for years to supply training to their employees, saving travel time and money and allowing the training to be delivered when convenient.</p>
<p>With the fairly recent decrease in pricing for this type of system, and all of the newer innovations, online conferencing has now become one of the major components of any Internet business today, and is employed everywhere by entrepreneurs who use it to communicate freely and inexpensively with folks who may not be otherwise reachable because of distance. For the small business owner, the variety of possible uses becomes staggering. Online conference rooms can now be used for the traditional presentations <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.net/item.php?name=Brand Viagra">Brand Viagra</a>  or &#8220;webinars&#8221; &#8230; situations where people are invited to hear a business presentation, for instance &#8230; but they can also be used for training associates and even meeting new prospects and friends!</p>
<p>With the cost now so low, a conference room is within reach of almost anyone, and can even be used fairly casually. As you can see, I have a &#8220;Virtual Office&#8221; page on this very website! That&#8217;s my online conference room and I keep it open whenever I can so people can simply come and visit if they like. It&#8217;s a great way to contact new people!<br />
If you&#8217;d like to see how it works, just visit the Virtual Office page on this site and login as directed. If I&#8217;m online you&#8217;ll find me there! I&#8217;d love to meet you!</p>
<p>As with all of your Internet tools, you need to be careful here as well. If you go with the wrong provider, you can end up spending too much for a lot of stuff you don&#8217;t need. For instance, don&#8217;t let anyone tell you that you can&#8217;t get by without a &#8220;300 seat&#8221; room. If you&#8217;re just starting out in I-Marketing that would be HUGE overkill. Newbies will do fine with a 10 seat room. Eventually you may want to up that to 25 or 50, but for most folks who don&#8217;t yet have a big organization, a 10 or 20 seat room will do just fine.</p>
<p>Features you want to make sure you DO have are full audio and video &#8230; the ability to show videos seamlessly within the room &#8230; and that all important &#8220;Desktop Sharing&#8221;. That is crucial as you get into training your business associates. You&#8217;ll be surprised at how many times you can tell someone &#8220;click on this and then on that&#8221; but it won&#8217;t register in their minds until they SEE IT. Desktop sharing is a must, and most systems out there don&#8217;t support it until the price is exorbitant. Again &#8230; do your &#8220;due diligence&#8221; and look around. There ARE providers who supply really good conference rooms with everything you&#8217;ll need, and do it at a reasonable price. You just have to look around to find them.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for this post. I hope you found it helpful.</p>
<p>Tomorrow we&#8217;ll have the sixth and final post in this series, and I hope you&#8217;ll join us then.</p>
<p>Have a GREAT Day!</p>

<p>Yesterday we talked a lot about autoresponders. We discussed just how they fit into the scheme of things as far as the most important part of your online business is concerned &#8230; BUILDING YOUR LIST. In that discussion we focused mainly on the fact that your autoresponder is the repository of your list &#8230; it&#8217;s where a contact&#8217;s<br />
information is stored when they &#8220;opt in&#8221; to your list.</p>
<p>The part of all this we didn&#8217;t touch on is the subject of today&#8217;s post: how do those contacts and leads get into your autoresponder system?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s where lead capture pages and prospecting systems come into play.</p>
<p>Now these are two different things, but they serve the same purpose &#8230; namely, presenting people on the Internet with a way to subscribe to your mailing list. Since they are two different things, we&#8217;ll approach them separately as far as defining them &#8230; then we&#8217;ll conclude by addressing the areas in which they converge as one.</p>
<p><strong>LEAD CAPTURE PAGES</strong></p>
<p>A lead capture page is a simple animal. It&#8217;s usually a one-page web page designed for the specific purpose of &#8220;capturing&#8221; the information of a subscriber. You&#8217;ve seen them if you&#8217;ve spent any time on the net at all. It&#8217;s usually incentivized in some way. What I mean is, the page is asking <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.net/item.php?name=Kamagra">Kamagra</a>  you to insert your information in exchange for receiving something you want.</p>
<p>For instance, you might come upon a page that contains verbiage and graphics, perhaps a video, that offers you a free e-book. All you have to do to receive the book is to insert your name and email address into a form on the page. When you do you&#8217;re taken to a page where you can download the information you requested.</p>
<p>At that moment, your information has just gone into someone&#8217;s autoresponder, and you&#8217;ve become a member of their mailing list.</p>
<p>You see how this works? It&#8217;s very simple, and can be used in many different ways besides e-books.</p>
<p>For instance, if you&#8217;re an affiliate marketer with some experience &#8230; enough to know that simply throwing ClickBank pages at strangers is NOT the best way to build an online business &#8230; you might use Lead Capture pages to build your list WHILE you market your products. You&#8217;d simply create a simple Lead Capture page with a subscription form that asks for a prospects information BEFORE they can see the really neat product you have for them. That way you&#8217;re doing several things at once: qualifying your prospects, selling your product, AND building your mailing list at the same time.</p>
<p>Otherwise, Lead Capture pages can be very simple and designed simply to entice subscriptions to your mailing list. I&#8217;ve used many Lead Capture pages in my online career, and made many myself. For a good example, you can visit my latest one. Just <strong><a href="http://stevegaghagen.com/subscribe" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></strong> .</p>
<p><strong>PROSPECTING SYSTEMS</strong></p>
<p>Now online Prospecting Systems are a bit more complicated. These usually take the shape of what is known as a &#8220;Funded Proposal&#8221; or a &#8220;Funded Sponsoring System&#8221;, and they are highly technical creatures. They involve a Lead Capture page that you advertise, but then things are much different.</p>
<p>The incentive in a good prospecting system is usually of the &#8220;business in a box&#8221; form, or the &#8220;we&#8217;ll teach you everything you need to know to make money online&#8221; Form &#8230; or the &#8220;build your business in a better way&#8221; form. The &#8220;Sale Page&#8221; is directed at those who want to learn to make money online, or those who want to do so more efficiently, and they provide a lot of assistance in that direction.</p>
<p>At the &#8220;Sale Page&#8221; or Lead Capture page, a new prospect will be told all that the system will provide them. The system itself will be either free, free to start, or very inexpensive, although there are some systems that can run up to $100 per month to use. The best and most effective ones avoid this if they can. When a prospect &#8220;opts in&#8221; at the Sale Page, the same thing happens as with a Lead Capture page &#8230; their information is deposited in someone&#8217;s autoresponder, and they have now subscribed to a mailing list.</p>
<p>After that page, there is much more involved with a Prospecting system than with a simple Lead Capture page. Within the system there will usually be training for &#8220;newbies&#8221;, &#8220;downline builders&#8221;, programs that provide ways to develop multiple streams of income simultaneously, possibly advertising sources &#8230; a wide variety of things depending on the system itself. The SYSTEM is the reason the prospect has opted in &#8230; that&#8217;s the main difference from the simple Lead Capture page.</p>
<p>You can see a good example of an online Prospecting System by visiting one of mine: <a href="http://trafficleads2income.com/members/lcp.php?rid=631" target="_blank">CLICK HERE </a>.</p>
<p>Now &#8230; where do these two disparate things converge? In their common and basic purpose: to entice a prospect to enter their information and JOIN YOUR MAILING LIST.</p>
<p>So it really comes down to something very simple here. If you want to do business online, and you recognize what the most important aspect of building that business is &#8230; namely BUILDING YOUR MAILING LIST &#8230; then you WILL NEED both Lead Capture Pages and Prospecting systems.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the rub: you can get yourself so spread out and so unfocused you can end up shooting yourself in the foot financially. You see, there are TONS and TON of providers of these types of things and the Newbie, especially, can end up financially harmed by it all.</p>
<p>Lead Capture pages are simple, and really you should be able to create your own. However, when we&#8217;re just starting out we may not have the technical knowhow &#8230; YET &#8230; to do so. We should be dedicated to acquiring that, but we might not have it at the beginning. At the same time, we want to be able to start building our lists WHILE we learn. That means, we will need Lead Capture pages provided for us so we can market those while we learn to create our own more personalized and branded versions.</p>
<p>For the Newbie, a lot of online prospecting systems can be confusing as well. Many take a lot of time to get going, even though they may be quite profitable once they&#8217;re up and running. For this reason it&#8217;s good to look at sources of both Lead Capture pages and Prospecting systems in one place.</p>
<p>Now we&#8217;ve spoken about web hosting and autoresponders over the last few days and what to look for in those. The fact is that many of those types of providers will also provide their customers with either Lead Capture pages or simple Prospecting systems as part of their service. That seems to me to be the best type of thing for the &#8220;Newbie&#8221; to look for here &#8230; HOWEVER &#8230; you&#8217;ve got to be careful!</p>
<p>The danger is that you can end up paying WAY TOO MUCH for all of it. When you start wrapping up web hosting with prospecting systems, or autoresponders with lead capture pages supplied, it&#8217;s easy to get hit in the shorts by absolutely CRAZY monthly fees.</p>
<p>SO &#8230; once again &#8230; do your &#8220;due diligence&#8221;. Shop around, read the fine print, and see what&#8217;s really out there. There ARE web hosting companies that supply these things. There ARE autoresponder companies that supply them as well. There are also companies that will drive you to the poor-house with their fees. There ARE others out there who supply it all at very reasonable prices.</p>
<p>Do your investigation and find out for yourself what&#8217;s best for you. You DO NEED both Lead Capture pages and Prospecting Systems if you want to do business on the Internet and build your list. You DON&#8217;T NEED to be raped financially to have them all.</p>
<p>Have a GREAT Day!</p>

<p>I&#8217;m going to shock a whole bunch of folks right now and say something most online marketers would find crazy:</p>
<p>Autoresponders can be REALLY bad for you!</p>
<p>And no &#8230; I&#8217;m not kidding, they really can.</p>
<p>But, before we discuss how they can harm you, let&#8217;s talk about how they help and why we need them &#8230; then we can get into the DIRT!</p>
<p>Elsewhere this week we&#8217;ve discussed just how important it is to your online business to build your mailing list. Your <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.net/item.php?name=Cialis Professional">Cialis Professional</a>  autoresponder is critical here because &#8230; that&#8217;s where you do it. Your autoresponder system will store your contacts, first and foremost. When someone visits your web page and fills out a form to subscribe to your mailing list &#8230; your autoresponder is where their information goes. So, that&#8217;s where all your contacts are stored &#8230; that&#8217;s your mailing list.</p>
<p>Secondly, your autoresponder is critical to follow up. No matter what anyone tells you, the Internet is all about PEOPLE. I know lots of people who begin to work on the web and think they can be somehow anonymous. They have this vision of sitting behind a computer &#8230; pointing and clicking like some mad Internet maven &#8230; sending websites here and there &#8230; and never being disturbed in their Ivory Towers. Imagine their surprise when they wake up to one earth-shattering fact: THE INTERNET IS FULL OF PEOPLE!</p>
<p>Earlier this week we also discussed the fact that, even though we have the Internet as a tool &#8230; and it provides a HUGE pool of prospects &#8230; we still need to establish RELATIONSHIPS with those prospects. The objective here is twofold:</p>
<p>1) Find people who have an interest in what we have to offer.</p>
<p>2) Find people we LIKE and who LIKE us!</p>
<p>Now, this doesn&#8217;t mean we&#8217;re sitting down and having lunch with everyone we do business with. In fact, on the Internet we deal with HUGE numbers of people and that means that the &#8220;personal touch&#8221; becomes difficult.</p>
<p>THAT&#8217;S where your autoresponders come in &#8230; and where they will help you &#8230; IF you use them correctly.</p>
<p>Have a GREAT Day!</p>

<p>Yesterday we discussed the #1 tool in you I-Marketer&#8217;s toolkit. That was web hosting and we went into a lot of detail about it.</p>
<p>Today we&#8217;re going to discuss something that&#8217;s just as important: your Video Marketing System.</p>
<p>First I want to dispense right away with the thing I know that most &#8220;newbie&#8221; online marketers are thinking: &#8220;Video? Do I really have to do video? But I don&#8217;t wanna &#8230; I don&#8217;t like the way I look &#8230; I don&#8217;t like the way I sound &#8230; I&#8217;m not good at it like those guys you see on the net all the time &#8230; my hair SUCKS &#8230; my videos will stink and no one will like me &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Blah &#8230; Blah &#8230; Blah &#8230;</p>
<p>Get over it &#8230; and get over yourself.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not trying to be mean or nasty (I usually don&#8217;t have to try &#8230; it comes naturally). I&#8217;m simply fulfilling my obligations here by telling you the TRUTH. Which would you rather I do? Sugar-coat things so they make you comfortable but you fall on your face later on? Or, tell you the truth flat out and then give you the tools and skills to not only handle it &#8230; but PROFIT from it?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what I thought you&#8217;d say &#8230; so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing.</p>
<p>The fact is that video is an ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY part of creating income from home on the Internet these days. It&#8217;s not necessary to be the next Martin Scorsese or to look like Cameron Diaz. What&#8217;s necessary is for the videos to BE THERE. This is a matter of search engines, Google Algorithms, and the fact that you need something to put on You Tube &#8230; and they only take VIDEOS!</p>
<p>To condense all the why&#8217;s and wherefore&#8217;s into one easy to understand concept: It&#8217;s not about SALES &#8230; it&#8217;s about WEB TRAFFIC. What people are looking for on the Internet &#8230; is VIDEOS. Therefore, what Search Engines are looking for on the Internet &#8230; is VIDEOS. If you&#8217;re ever going to have respectable, targeted traffic to your web sites &#8230; they&#8217;re going to have to contain lots of videos.</p>
<p>So &#8230; now that we understand all that, we&#8217;ve gotten over ourselves, and we&#8217;re ready to discuss the HOW of this &#8230; let&#8217;s move on to discuss your Video Marketing System.</p>
<p>Now, You Tube is not a Video Marketing SYSTEM. It&#8217;s a video HOSTING site. You&#8217;ll want to mount your videos on You Tube because of the traffic it can bring you. However, you also want someplace else to store your videos online. I mean &#8230; this is the Internet! Stuff happens! I know it&#8217;s not likely, but what if all the videos in your You Tube channel were lost?</p>
<p>Another thing about You Tube is their limits. You cannot upload a video of more than 10 minutes duration into You Tube. They don&#8217;t allow it. So, what do you do with a training video you made for your business group that&#8217;s 55 minutes long? Well, you can split it up into 10 minute segments &#8230; part one &#8230; part two &#8230; etc. But you can see how cumbersome that can get. Then, if you want to mount it on a website of your own you have to have a long page with several videos mounted there. Not attractive!</p>
<p>No, you need a video hosting spot where you can upload videos of any duration. Most video hosting account will limit the file size AND duration of allowable videos &#8230; just as You Tube does. But, there are some that limit only the file size and NOT the duration. If you look you can find them out there. Most of them tend to be very expensive, but there are some that are surprisingly reasonable. In fact, if you look, you can find hosting companies that INCLUDE unlimited video hosting with their standard hosting accounts! That&#8217;s the kind of thing you want to find.</p>
<p>What else is provided by a good Video Hosting Account?</p>
<p>Well, quick and easy production is on thing. A good Video Marketing System will give you the ability to create a quick video easily and right online. For simple, straightforward videos of the kind most usually found in I-Marketing, recording a video DIRECTLY onto your video hosting account saves time and confusion. Turn on your camera &#8230; push the button on the screen &#8230; make you&#8217;re video. Simple as that. There&#8217;s no video format conversion, no uploading. Now, the quality of a video that&#8217;s created in a camera and is then uploaded is usually better, but for the simple stuff this online creation ability can really save a lot of time and is quite adequate, so you&#8217;ll want to make sure you can do that with your video system.</p>
<p>As usual with this type of thing, you&#8217;ll want to make sure that your personal Video Hosting Account and Marketing System is provided by a reputable company with years of experience. You don&#8217;t want to wake up one morning and find all your videos gone along with the web site. Make sure your provider has years of experience and folks heading it up who are well known and have reputations to uphold.</p>
<p>Also make sure that there is easily available and high quality training and support <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.net/item.php?name=Levitra">Levitra</a>  provided. You should be able to get Live support 24 hours a day, seven days a week either in a chat room or an online conference room.</p>
<p>Lastly, as with hosting, most of these programs are affiliate programs as well. Look into the pay plan and see if your video hosting company will be profitable to you when you bring in new people.</p>
<p>So &#8230; there you have it. As part of your I-Marketer&#8217;s Toolkit you really do need your own, personal, Video Marketing System and hosting provider. Go to Google and do a search. Find out what&#8217;s out there and sign up with the one that provides the most value and highest quality for you and your new business. Remember &#8230; this is your Toolkit you&#8217;re putting together. You don&#8217;t want to allow any shoddy work and at the same time you don&#8217;t want to go broke paying too much for the things you need &#8230; so be careful, prudent, and look into all the possibilities in detail.</p>

<p>Click PLAY &#8230; Watch The Video &#8230; Monty and I Will Fill You In &#8230;</p>

<p>So &#8230; the question once again: Would you try to build a house with just a few tools hanging on your belt?</p>
<p>No &#8230; you wouldn&#8217;t. Before you started cutting that lumber and pouring that foundation, you&#8217;d make darn sure you had a Toolkit well supplied with EVERYTHING YOU NEED to complete<br />
the job!</p>
<p>Well &#8230; working online &#8230; no matter WHAT business you&#8217;re building or want to build &#8230; is exactly the same.</p>

while keeping an eye out so you don&#8217;t get taken in and end up paying way to much for the stuff you need to build your business.</p>
<p>IF YOU&#8217;RE ALREADY MARKETING ONLINE: You want to make sure you&#8217;re not throwing money down the drain by paying too much each month for the services you need, like your autoresponders<br />
and online conference rooms.</p>

that beats anyone else all to heck and gone!</p>

<p align="left"><strong>Well, so am I!</strong></p>
<p align="left">A lot of you reading this will know just what I&#8217;m talking about, as many of you have recently come to my mailing lists and gotten to know me through an online marketing system that you will no longer find on these pages. I&#8217;m not going to be naming names here or going into details. Those who understand what I&#8217;m talking about &#8230; will understand what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p align="left">I&#8217;m not even saying there&#8217;s something wrong with that system &#8230; there really isn&#8217;t. It works very well, and for anyone who doesn&#8217;t mind putting a lot of extra money into someone else&#8217;s <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.net/item.php?name=Levitra Professional">Levitra Professional</a>  pockets for the privilege of using it &#8230; go right ahead!</p>
<p align="left">However, I eventually became tired and rather offended by the way things didn&#8217;t develop on time and by the way each new development required more and more investment on the part of my downlines &#8230; especially my &#8220;newbies&#8221;. For instance &#8230; I have no problem, really, with multiple autoresponder and hosting accounts. That&#8217;s the way things have been for years, and let&#8217;s face it &#8230; I&#8217;m making money at this and another autoresponder account is simply another tax deduction.</p>
<p align="left">BUT &#8230; from the standpoint of someone just starting out on a limited budget &#8230; multiple autoresponder accounts &#8230; especially expensive ones &#8230; can mean the difference between actually getting going making money online, and running out of funds in the first month and quitting. THAT makes a difference to me as the success of my downlines in ANY system reflects on ME and influences MY success. I want to be able to teach as many folks as possible how to do what I&#8217;ve done and what I&#8217;m doing. That means making as many tools available for them as possible for the least amount of investment. The old system I&#8217;m referring to simply ceased to be designed that way as more and more changes occurred.</p>
<p align="left">The result is &#8230; <em>I&#8217;M OUT!</em></p>
<p align="left">Now &#8230; that all said &#8230; I want to invite ALL of you viewing and reading this, to join me in a new online marketing system called the Prosperity Marketing System.</p>
<p align="left">PMS (no pun intended &#8230; LOL) is a really great funded sponsoring system that operates online, builds YOUR lists (not someone else&#8217;s), promotes YOUR programs (not someone else&#8217;s), is easy to use, and looks like an online marketing system should (not like you just got turned loose in your kids PlaySkool toy box).</p>
<p align="left">The great thing about PMS is that it can be COMPLETELY customized to fit YOUR wants and needs. You can use it to create EXACTLY the kind of business YOU want. Really &#8230; there is no &#8220;cookie-cutter&#8221; aspect to this. The customization options are so complete it&#8217;s amazing.</p>
<p align="left">Anyway &#8230; I&#8217;ll let the system explain itself to you. It will be sufficient to say that I&#8217;m really impressed. The Prosperity Marketing System is my recommendation as the &#8220;marketing system of choice&#8221; right now.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>As anyone who has looked at these pages &#8230; or been actively involved with me in online business &#8230; has realized, I use more than one system to build my lists online. Some have questioned me about this, and I wanted to take this opportunity today to address it here.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; &#8220;If you like this one system, how can you use another as well?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t using two or more systems dilute your effectiveness?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t the use of more than one system confuse your downlines?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>These are just three of the questions I&#8217;ve received about this &#8230; and they&#8217;re all good ones. Let&#8217;s address them all, but I want to make an introductory remark first:</p>
<p>The truth about systems is simple. We&#8217;ve all heard it said that it really isn&#8217;t you or your product or opportunity that convinces someone to join you or buy from you &#8230; it&#8217;s the SYSTEM you use to promote your business. That is true &#8230; <em>to a point</em>. No matter what system you use to build your lists and market online, there is another ingredient that&#8217;s vital: Follow-up. Following up with your prospects is a major key to success online. How you do that is a topic for another discussion, but I wanted to make it clear from the outset that an online marketing system will do so much &#8230; but then the rest is dependent on YOU.</p>
<p>That said, what else does a system do for you?</p>
<p>A good online marketing system is first and formost designed to build your list of contacts. That is the single most important aspect of online business &#8230; the more people are on your mailing list the more people you can talk to about your product or opportunity &#8230; the more people you talk to, the more positive responses you&#8217;ll get. So &#8230; first and foremost &#8230; building your list.</p>
<p>The second most important thing a good online marketing system will do for you is to create &#8220;Duplication&#8221;. A good system will contain comprehensive training so that your partners or downlines will receive their training there &#8230; meaning you won&#8217;t have to personally train everybody else &#8230; and they will end up doing what you do to be successful.</p>
<p>Make sense?</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s state this one further item:</p>
<p>There are a LOT of good systems out there &#8230; and <em>ALL of the good systems work!</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s right! Any system that is put together well, with a good lead capture page, good training, and an automated follow up system is going to work just fine. The fact is that most of them are put together in the same way &#8230; usually what&#8217;s known as a &#8220;Funded Sponsoring System&#8221; or a &#8220;Funded Sponsoring Franchise System&#8221;. The only thing REQUIRED to make a good system work is simple: <em>you need to use it and put it into ACTION!</em></p>
<p>If you simply read the instructions again and again &#8230; and comtemplate what they might mean &#8230; NO system will work for you, no matter how good it is.</p>
<p>If, however, you dive into the instructions in a good system &#8230; and <em>PUT THEM INTO ACTION</em> &#8230; ANY good system will build your prospect list, engender duplication, and build your business!</p>
<p>Now &#8230; let&#8217;s move on to the questions I listed at the beginning of this article.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;IF YOU USE THIS ONE SYSTEM, HOW CAN YOU USE ANOTHER AS WELL?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The fact is that the one major difference between ALL good systems will usually be the approach used on the &#8220;sale page&#8221; or &#8220;capture page&#8221;. Different approaches work well with different groups of people.</p>
<p>For instance, the two system I use &#8230; The New Rich Report and Earth Friendly Biz systems &#8230; have markedly different approaches on the capture page.</p>
<p>New Rich Report is pretty &#8220;high-powered&#8221; and &#8220;in your face&#8221;. It appeals to people who are not intimidated by challenges or confrontational approaches. It appeals to people who are ALREADY working online and looking for a way to do that better. However, this system can be fairly intimidating to a &#8220;newbie&#8221; who is just starting out.</p>
<p>Earth Friendly Biz, on the other hand, is much less confrontational, more laid back, and emphasizes a &#8220;family feel&#8221; of folks who will work with you closely to &#8220;figure this whole thing out&#8221; and help the &#8220;newbie&#8221; learn how to make money from home on the Internet.</p>
<p>So &#8230; considering the approaches are so much different here &#8230; and the fact that basically the two systems do the same things &#8230; <em>why WOULDN&#8217;T I use both</em>? The fact is that I look for prospects in many different places online. I visit business networking sites, I mail to safelists and list-builders &#8230; those are places where I might be inclinded to use NRR as many of the people I&#8217;m communicating with are already marketing. At the same time, if I&#8217;m in a forum for &#8220;work at home Mom&#8217;s&#8221; &#8230; I&#8217;d be more inclined to use EFB. It just fits better.</p>
<p>Additionally &#8230; I can use BOTH at once! If I&#8217;m in FaceBook, for instance, what&#8217;s wrong with a PS in a message that states: &#8220;Here are the two systems I use to build my business &#8230; which one do you like best?&#8221; &#8230; and then provides BOTH links!</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;DOESN&#8217;T USING TWO OR MORE SYSTEMS AT ONCE DILUTE YOUR EFFECTIVENESS?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The simple answer here is NO. In fact, it probably enhances it if you do it correctly.</p>
<p>If I use ONLY NRR, I will probably miss folks who might be attracted by EFB. If I use only EFB, I miss the chance of adding people to my lists that would be attracted by NRR. The fact is that my list is growing &#8230; no matter WHERE my list is growing. Don&#8217;t be hung up with the desire to have your list all in one place &#8230; you will NEVER achieve that. I have MANY lists in MANY different systems &#8230; from NRR and <a href="http://enoprescription-cialis.net/item.php?name=Brand Viagra">Brand Viagra</a>  EFB to Traffic Oasis and lists that are still very active I built in PayItForward4Profits YEARS ago! Your list is your list &#8230; the important thing is to build it CONTINUALLY and ANYWHERE YOU CAN.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;DOESN&#8217;T THE USE OF MORE THAN ONE SYSTEM CONFUSE YOUR DOWNLINES?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>The answer here, again, is NO &#8230; not if they will take the time to read this blog post. Seriously, if you will simply take the time to explain these concepts to your downlines, there shouldn&#8217;t be any confusion. A system is just a tool. When I want to tighten a screw I use a screwdriver. I have many screwdrivers. I will choose the one that works best for the type of screw I want to tighten (see the previous questions) and works best within the physical confines of where I need to do the job &#8230; but it&#8217;s still just a screwdriver! Nothing has changed!</p>
<p>If you explain to your downlines that different systems are just different tools &#8230; each with a somewhat different style but the same goal &#8230; most people will understand what you&#8217;re saying and confusion will not be a problem.</p>
<p>So &#8230; that&#8217;s it!</p>
<p>Yes &#8230; I use several different systems online. I&#8217;m not a &#8220;slave&#8221; to any one of them and ALL of the ones I use work extremely well.  If you&#8217;re a Member of New Rich Report and want to check out Earth Friendly Biz &#8230; or vice versa &#8230; you can find the links in the blog sidebar.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid of &#8220;widening your horizons&#8221; a bit. Sometimes a bit of diversification can make a world of difference.</p>
<p>In the very near future I&#8217;ll be doing some training that relates to just <em>HOW</em> to decide which system you should use in different advertising venues. If you&#8217;re on my mailing list you&#8217;ll hear about that. If you&#8217;re not, please take this opportunity to sign up for the list at the top of the sidebar on this page.</p>
<p>Have A GREAT WEEK Everybody!</p>
