5. Your are in Sales. No. Really. You are.

What intrigues me the most is how MLMs claim they are “just like franchises” - you build a successful one and you “cookie-cut” the rest. Here’s the thing your uplines are missing out on though, traditional franchise are profitable!

Do you think Ray Kroc, the late franchisor of McDonald’s, would’ve tried duplicating a system that was making $0???

What happens when you duplicate $0? You get another big fat $0! I don’t care how many times you duplicate - when you have nothing of value to duplicate, you still end up with nothing of value.

Shotgun Answers to Your Burning Questions

“You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don’t Take.”
- Wayne Gretzky

Today, I wanted to publish a few of the burning questions and answers AMF subscribers have been bombarding us with! So I’m just going to get right into it cause I know many of you have these same questions:

“How Do I Get Thousands of People to My Website and Buy?” - Rene

Hi Rene,

In regards to your question.  This is really a two part question:

1) How to get thousands of people to my site?

Answer:
There are many different ways, like AdWords, SEO, YouTube Marketing, Article Marketing, Ezine Marketing, Online Classifieds, Banner Ad Traffic, etc.

The AMF Bootcamp and AMF Newsletters covers a few of these, and the Attraction Marketing Formula™ covers all of them.

A good starting point would be with Google AdWords. You can learn how for free at SeduceAdwords.com

2) How do I get people to buy once they arrive at my site?

Getting them to buy depends on how targeted your traffic is and whether or not you have a relationship with them.

For example, let’s say I have people on my email list for Health and Wellness.  If I have a new supplement for sale, which I think could help them, then I simply send an email to that list and I can expect a nice chunk of those people to buy.   And they buy because I’ve established myself as a reliable source to receive advice from.

But if it’s traffic, directly from the internet somewhere, then you’ll have a much lower buy rate because they don’t know anything about you or your product.  ( i.e. no trust)

And depending on where that traffic is coming from, your buy rate will vary even more.

You’ll want to both have traffic coming from relevant sources and build a relationship with the subscribers from that traffic source. This will sky rocket your buy rate.

The Attraction Marketing Formula™ & Bootcamp will show you how you can go about building a relationship passively with people using email marketing and other online tools.  It will also show you how to start generating TARGETED traffic to your website, so that only people interested in what you’ve got will arrive.

“How to find a Legitimate Business Opportunity?” - Marlon

Hi Marlon,

The short answer is that there exist an abundance of legitimate opportunities online and offline to make money and/or build a business.  You just have to figure out what type of opportunity you want and what your long term goals are.

The first thing you have to distinguish with opportunities is whether it’s a “money making opportunity” or a “business opportunity”.

Money making might show you a few tricks or ways for you to make some easy cash, but it’s not sustainable.

A business opportunity is intended to create a large ongoing income, but may not give you the immediate satisfaction of a money making opportunity.

I would recommend getting involved with something that incorporates both the money making and the business aspects of generating income. For example, if you join an MLM, make sure that the team you are working with has a marketing system in place which allows you to make some upfront cash with a product which is relatively easy to retail.

This will keep you afloat until you can grow an organization and the passive leveraged income kicks in.

The next thing you should be looking at is the team and system you would be joining with.  A company or affiliate program is just a part of your business, not your whole business.  They may have great products and the robust distribution system to dropship product to your customers, but if you don’t have the marketing system in place to acquire those customers or new distributors, then the quality of your company is a moot point.

I hope this helps.  The 10-Day Bootcamp you signed up for will give you a good idea as to what type of marketing system you would want to have in place for ANY business opportunity.

“Is  a ’self funded’ proposal for real?  My son is in engineering program for Aerospace/Mechanical - tough program!” -Dave

HI Dave,

Yes, it is a tough program.  I studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT, but I had plenty of friends who went through their “Unified” program, which was pretty brutal.  One of my good friends had to take a leave from school after his first year to recover.  Wish your son the best of luck for me!

And to answer your question, yes a self-funded proposal is real.  There’s no magic to it.  As you go through the newsletters, you’ll learn how I’ve implemented it in my business. 

But essentially it uses a low cost retail product as a way to recoup your marketing costs, so that you can continue marketing even if no one joins your business or buys your primary product or services.

This concept has been employed by many businesses, but it’s rarely done in the manner we teach. I go into extreme detail as to how to implement it for your business in the Attraction Marketing Formula™ course. There are other courses out there, which will teach you this but not at the bargain we are offering it at.

Your MLM Money? It’s in Your MLM List! (And the Relationships You Create.)

(Read the second part of this article up top, titled Your Value in MLM “Dollars” | How to Get Free MLM Marketing. And don’t forget to rate this article! Thanks.)

3. Show Me the Money!

The third thing you have to also grasp (this is huge so pay attention) is that your money is in your list! (Read the last sentence again, it’s THAT important.)

You see… not everyone will be ready to buy into you, your products, nor your opportunity right away. It’s a matter of timing and also trust. They may not be financially ready to commit to an opportunity yet; they might be short on time; they might have other priorities they want to straighten out first; or they simply don’t trust you just yet.

Here’s where most MLMers make the biggest mistake (heck, businesses in general are making this silly mistake)… they let these hot potential prospect go! They say what their uplines teach them to say, they say “NEXT!”

You see, while the traditional form of building a network marketing business may work for some, odds are, it’s not working for you. Much like yourself, I’ve gone down that traditional network marketing route - sponsor two who each sponsors two more etc.

While I give many thanks and much credit to who I am today to all that training and that MLM school of hard knocks, I think there are other ways of building a multi level marketing business. Ways that capitalize on the technology available today to both you and me.

So then how do you still get to be the measly 5% who actually make it in the multi level marketing industry?

It’s about taming the “wild wild web“. Let me break this down into 5 major marketing concepts your upline have no clue about.

“Ready! Fire! Aim! “
- Russell Brunson, Affiliate Incubator 2007

Okay guys, I tend to stay behind the scene as much as possible when it comes to Attraction Marketing Formula but some times I need to bust out and stir things around.

Today is such a time =D

It’s amazing! My buddy Ferny gets rear-ended on the busy L.A. Freeway (see clip) while creating a video for you guys and still remains unfazed; while he CALMLY announces the exciting news about the Attraction Marketing Formula and the bonuses we are offering you…

I’m squirming in my seat trying so hard not to friggin’ (as the song goes in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off):

TWIST ‘N SHOUT!

Why am I so stoked and what in the world am I talking about??

It’s because we finally released Attraction Marketing Formula in its entirety to the public and you as the subscribers to the AMF Newsletter have first dibs!

Yes… it’s been 18 months in the making.  And Fernando has done a tremendous job putting the book together (I know because I had to painstakingly edit it a few times =D  ).

You see, our motto is to “hold nothing back”.  And we mean it.

We don’t believe in hiding lil’ “secrets” from you and keeping them for ourselves for fear that you will surpass us as marketers and entrepreneurs.  No no.  On the contrary we relish that.

The only thing we ask is that when you reach that point, you ping us and let us know.  Then we’ll get together for a beer (or two…) and you can tell us how you did it.

We come from the mentality of abundance and not of scarcity.  We believe there’s plenty to go around for everyone and we all can and will benefit from giving our best.

And that’s exactly what we have done here.

To be honest, one of the reason why we didn’t released the course any sooner is we kept finding stuff to add to it! We continue learning and it’s almost impossible to say that ‘enough is enough’.

The point is, we were constantly looking add more content and more value to you. Lucky for you, this will never change. We want to give you the ABSOLUTE BEST education possible and our drive to learn more benefits you as well.   (I guess you can blame this on us constantly attending seminars, reading books, listening to audio CDs, and networking – resulting in us always picking up new marketing tips.)

We decided to put it off no further; we released the Attraction Marketing Formula on, November 1, 2007 and are now waiting for you to take action.  We will be giving you our very best – “no holds barred” – guaranteed.

Okay, I am still twisting and shouting because I am that excited for you and for your future prosperity.

Who knows… maybe we can convince Ferny to do a bit of “twisting and shouting” himself and capture it on video. But I think I’ll need to get him some cold ones first though.  And by some I mean A LOT.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and working with you.

Let’s do it!

To Affinity and Beyond,

Raymond Fong

To Ferny’s Neck Healing Properly,

Back in June, Mike Dillard held a closed door private seminar for just 20 people at his home in Austin, TX.

During this 3 day seminar, Mike revealed absolutely everything he knows about internet marketing and creating a replicated MLM marketing system, which can work for any MLM leader or company.

At that seminar were MLM company owners and leaders such as Jay Kubassek, Brady Paulson, and Justin Christianson.

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend that seminar because it was the weekend of my birthday and family came first that weekend.

Fast forward 4 months and now Mike Dillard has launched his Magnetic Sponsoring Online Community and will soon be launching the NEW Magnetic Sponsoring 3.0 affiliate system, which will be personalized for the affiliate.

Shortly after his launch, Mike announced that he was accepting applications to get advanced copies of the recordings of MLM System Formula and he would only pick 15 people.

I have the privilege to announce that my application was accepted and I will be receiving advanced copies of these recordings.

I look forward to sharing insights and teachings from this knowledge to ALL Attraction Marketing Formula subscribers. To get on my list and benefit from this teaching, register for your FREE Attraction Marketing Bootcamp Newsletter.

My Marketing Story

I started looking at Mike’s work back on June of 2006. I stumbled upon his newsletter and purchased his life transforming Magnetic Sponsoring book.

Shortly there after I purchased MLM Traffic Formula, which opened my eyes to a whole new world of prospecting, marketing and wealth creation.

We’ve since applied the teachings of MLM Traffic Formula and dozens of other courses, seminars and our own creativity to create the Attraction Marketing Formula. This system is designed to serve all business opportunity seekers and business professionals. It has been tested in the Martial Arts Industry in partnership with the West Coast Hwa Rang Do Headquarters and the World Hwa Rang Do Association.

The success with Hwa Rang Do essentially proved that these marketings strategies were not just for MLM — they worked for all businesses, regardless of product or service.

My partner Raymond and I are now private marketing instructors for Hwa Rang Do Blacksashes, whom are owners of their respective Hwa Rang Do branches across the country and the globe.

However, our roots have always been with the network marketing industry, so we’ve come back with avengence! But we aren’t limiting ourselves to network marketing. Anyone wishing to apply online direct response marketing principles to their existing small or home based business is encouraged to register.

What You Will Learn

Thus far, the Attraction Marketing Formula instructs in over 10 Traffic Methods, including AdWords, SEO, eBay, Craiglist, Ezines, Articles, Blogs, Press Releases, Video, Viral Marketing & Direct Mail. We also instruct in copywriting for capture pages, sales pages and email newsletters.

The course officially launched on Nov. 1st 2007 to a private list owned by the author and is now open to the public.

If you’d like to be an affiliate, please contact fceballos@sollabec.com.

Accepted affiliates will be awarded front-end commissions as well as ALL back-end commissions for their leads, so it’s a very lucrative opportunity for the right affiliate with residual income potential.

How To Make Complete Fool of Yourself Online & Still “Mastermind” a Million Dollar Marketing Strategy

“Ready! Fire! Aim! “
- Russell Brunson, Affiliate Incubator 2007

You’re probably wondering what the heck I’m referring to.

Well, yesterday I was driving through downtown L.A. on my way to a Glazer-Kennedy Insider Circle Chapter Meeting hosted by Ramon Vela.

I had just recently received a brand new Flip Video phone and had been video happy recording everything in sight. I’ve never actually owned a photo or video camera.

At parties, I usually rely on other people to take pictures and send them to me via email.

Well, I decided to do something silly while driving through heavy downtown L.A. traffic… enjoy!

Watch Overview of AMF & LIVE CRASH Footage! 

Oh, BTW — everyone is fine. The guy that hit me was really sorry and tired from having worked long and hard with Habitat for Humanity.

It really didn’t bother me. Things happen.

If you ever find yourself getting upset about something or with someone, just drop it. Your anger and frustration never helps a situation. Turned out this guy, Sam, was a cool dude and it was a pleasant conversation we had in the middle of a busy L.A. freeway.

Life is full of surprises at every corner…

But it should come as not surprise that the Attraction Marketing Formula will be released Thursday at 12 noon PDT. Stay tuned!

To Your Success,

My business partner just spoke with one of his affiliates and we know what’s going on. (Note: This is NOT a positive review.)

Kimball launched this system last Thursday and it’s almost identical to Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring System, except with really poor copy.

When you become an affiliate, you are not learning to use adwords, you are participating in a co-op where Kimball takes your money and invest a portion of it on AdWords. (Smart!)
Unfortunately, what this has resulted in, is Kimball spamming Google AdWords for the same keywords on behalf of everyone.

If you search for “Daegan Smith” or other MLM gurus, you’ll notice his ads are all over the place. He’s basically shoved all other advertisers off the front page.

He gets around Google’s system by using different domain extensions (i.e. com, org, us, info, name, etc.)

So the affiliates are not managing the Adwords, Kimball is. The only job of the affiliate is to call prospects.

But the real winner in the system is of course Kimball, since he gets to use other people’s money to promote his affiliate system, while creating dependecy on his services.

Daegan Smith has a system which is personalized for the affiliate, which is much better. And Mike Dillard’s system converts better than any system out there, in terms of generating leads and affiliate sales.

Ultimately, its’ in the best interest of any MLM’er online to create their own system.

Kimball’s PFB system is crap and I would expect that he’ll get shut off by Google for spamming Adwords.
If you are a newbie, I would recommend starting with either Daegan or Mike’s system, then move on to creating your own marketing. I’m affiliates for both Daegan and Mike and they are first rate human beings and marketers.

Mike’s Magnetic Sponsoring Course is a lifesaver of a course for struggling MLM’ers. Daegan Smith’s system offers the most value in terms of features, because of the training he offers and personalized lead capture system. (Pros and Cons to both systems.)

Kimball’s system seems to have been built by the same company or people that built Mike Dillard’s or Daegan Smith’s. In all honesty, I’m disappointed because I know the guy who created those systems and he’s a great guy.

Not sure why he would want to associate himself with PFB.

I hope this has helped clear things up for you guys wondering who Kimball Roundy is or what the Prosperity Freedom Builder site is. You’ll see his ads for another few days until Google catches on.

Note, this is not an indictment on Mr. Roundy’s character or person.  Simply a scathing review of some poor advertising practices, our perspective on his type of business model and ill thought out launch of a new system.
To Your Success,

Ferny

…is NOT prospecting at all!

Huh what?

Well, let me ask you something, do the following sound familiar?

“Are you tied to what you are doing or do you keep your options open?”

“Prospect all your friends and family members because they trust you.”

“You get two people to join your MLM group who then each get two and they get two… and pretty soon you’ll be in the DIAMOND qualification!”

Those lines play like a broken record – the same ol’ stuff over and over again.
And what if you don’t know all those snazzy prospecting techniques that are guaranteed to get you MLM prospects? That’s okay because that’s what all those motivational CDs you buy from your upline are for.

Your very car becomes a MLM university – you listen to stories after stories about how others have made it big in your network marketing industry. You listen to how the “diamonds” or the “platinums” or whatever higher ups are spending all their time shopping for fancy cars, fur coats, and visiting all the beaches of the world.
