Now just because I market on the Internet Marketer, doesn’t mean that I know why my Moms DVD player doesn’t work.
I have avoided learning the techie stuff for years. I love my mother to pieces, but our joke soon came to be when my default answer would be to "Google it". Well, now the answer is to any ‘how-to’ questions is to head over to YouTube.
This is where you go "Dale, I know about YouTube" True, but do you know how many marketing questions you have that can be cleared up by watching a simple YouTube video? Just remember you have a default ‘library’ of answers right at your fingertips.
Now here is the warning. DON’T get lost down the proverbial ‘YouTube Rabbit Hole’ get your answer and get back on your project. If you need an answer, go look it up, but here is the rule – Make sure the tutorial is under 5 minutes and then get back on task.
Otherwise hours have passed and you are wondering how your quick question about a WordPress install has led you here…
(Well, I can tell you the chain of video’s it takes if you like 
Anyways, YouTube is great for marketing, but it is also a VERY useful resource. As long as you don’t get lost when visiting… I have found myself using you tube more and more, because I am more visual and learn better from watching.
Have a great week – Dale PS Why you are on You Tube do a search for Dale Calvert and check out my channel. We have a ton of MLM trainings on YouTube.
A question I get quite often from would
be entreprenuers is Dale, how do I overcome
fear?
Everyone has Fear, that is not a negative
emotion necessarily. However some people
would be described as fearful and that is
beyond debilitating.
I have heard it said fear is:
F alse
E vidence
A pperaring
R eal
Naplin Hill said the way to overcome fear is
to recognize it, then repeat this phrase to
yourself.
“If you have nothing to lose by trying and a great
deal to gain if successful, do it now”
then TAKE ACTION.
Overtime, when fear appears, that phrase will
flash in your mind if you memorize it.
Fear can be overcome.
If your enterprise requires you to you the phone
and you are afraid, this will help you.

If you would describe yourself as “fearful” ….
THAT IS NO WAY TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
You gotta get past that now. Don’t spend another
year of your life in fear!
Make the decision today to get past that!

I hope this helps.
Memorize this phrase ……..
“If you have nothing to lose by trying and a great
deal to gain if successful, by all means try …
DO IT NOW”
Dedicated to Your Success,

For the last year or so I have been urging my subscribers
to stay in front of marketing trends.
We have talked about Mobile Marketing, Kindle, and domain
and website flipping.
We are making good money in 2 of the 3 niches, but we have
spent a ton of time in the “education modeâ€.
I had a friend and customer send me the email below today
and I have received these questions off and on over the
past year, so I thought I would share these questions and
my answers with you in hopes that I could help a lot of my
subscribers at the same time.
Remember you are only 5 courses or books away from being
an expert in almost any market you choose. (Yes, network
marketing is the exception) The only way to become successful
in network marketing is to follow the free info I share in the
book at www.StealYourSuccess.com

Dale,
I have learned so much from you over the years. I have
couple of personal/business questions I would like to ask
you when you get a minute I would appreciate a reply.

QUESTION:
You hear so much about “multiple streams†of income,
when should network marketers attempt to diversify
their income ?
ANSWER
Debbie, this depends on the person. In general this is my opinion.
Most network marketers who are talking about multiple streams of
income and attempting to work multiple companies, have never
made Big income anywhere. They really don’t understand the
difference between network marketing and affiliate marketing.
In 30 years I cannot name 1 person I have ever met who was
making $10,000+ a month in two different companies working
them at the same time!
You should never attempt to create multiple streams of
income from multiple MLM programs under any circumstance.
Network marketing is about residual wealth building. It is not
about creating multiple $100 checks, that is affiliate marketing.
Network marketing is the most challenging, but most rewarding
business model. Leaders must be focused and dedicated to
their opportunity, their company and their team. If they can’t
find a company they can dedicate themselves to then they need
to find a new one.
My advice to all network marketers is to don’t even think
about trying to create another income stream until you have
mastered the skill sets and mindsets it takes in network marketing
and you get your income to a full-time level.
QUESTION: As you know I am at a full-time income and the
business has become easy and systematic for me now
(As you said it would). I am ready to diversify my income
and spend an hour or so a day learning a new business model.
What do you recommend and is there a training program I
should start with?
ANSWER
That depends really on what your ultimate goal is, remember
begin with the end in mind.
If you are looking for some quick, extra cash I recommend
Ebay, but I think you already sell some items on Ebay don’t you?
If not this will help: http://www.OnlineAuctionU.com
An addition would be buying and flipping domains and websites.
I have some really good info here:
http://www.FlipDomainsandGrowRich.com We have been
doing this off and on for several years, but now there are
some great tools in the market that make this a breeze if
you get a little education.
If you are looking for another long term residual income
stream, then I definitely recommend you learn everything
you can on Kindle Publishing. Dawn and I started a
Kindle publishing division of our business about a year
ago and it has really gained momentum in the last few months.
There are several good courses on kindle publishing,
these are the ones we recommend:
KINDL E UNLEASED http://cmgwebsitetraffic.com/links/2727
KINDLE SALES CASH FORMULA http://www.warriorplus.com/linkwso/plwpm0/14735
KINDLE CASH MACHINES http://www.warriorplus.com/linkwso/q2v3yp/14735
And finally Mobile Marketing. This is going to be huge and growing.
We have spent a lot of time and money on this, but still haven’t
quite figured it out, but we will! We have had some campaigns
that have done awesome and some that have totally bombed.
The best course we have found out their some fare is here:

Deb, this should put you on the right track. If you have
any more questions let me know.

JUST REMEMBER ……..
In 30 years I cannot name 1 person I have ever met who was
making $10,000+ a month in two different companies working
them at the same time!
Someone sent me the email below and
I wanted to pass it on. It reminded me of
a time several years ago, when I was
traveling with network marketing veteran
Bill Pike from Dallas, Texas.
We did trainings in about 3 cities in 7 days.
When we traveled through various airports
Bill would make it a point when he saw a
military person to shake their hand and say
we appreciate your service.
Since that time I have been much more aware
when I see Military Service people in airports.
I make it a point if I am in their space, to throw
out my hand and say “We appreciate your service”.
From time to time, when setting beside Military
personal I have given them a $20 bill as we were
exiting the plain and said I would be honored to
buy your lunch today.
This time of the year, is a time for all of us to
count or blessings.
I thank Bill Pike for inspiring me many years ago
and I hope the story below will inspire you and
you pay it forward.
START OF STORY:
I put my carry-on in the
luggage compartment and sat down in my assigned
seat. It was going to be a long flight. ‘I’m
glad I have a good book to read. Perhaps I will
get a short nap,’ I thought.
Just before take-off,
a line of soldiers came down the aisle and
filled all the vacant seats, totally surrounding
me. I decided to start a conversation.
‘Where are you headed?’ I asked the soldier seated nearest to
me. ‘Petawawa. We’ll be there for two
weeks for special training, and then we’re being
deployed to Afghanistan
After flying for about an hour, an announcement was
made that sack lunches were available for five
dollars. It would be several hours before we
reached the east, and I quickly decided a lunch
would help pass the time…
As I reached for my wallet, I overheard a soldier ask his buddy if
he planned to buy lunch. ‘No, that seems
like a lot of money for just a sack lunch.
Probably wouldn’t be worth five bucks.
I’ll wait till we get to base.’
His friend agreed.
I looked around at the
other soldiers. None were buying lunch. I walked
to the back of the plane and handed the flight
attendant a fifty dollar bill. ‘Take a
lunch to all those soldiers.’ She grabbed my
arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with
tears, she thanked me. ‘My son was a soldier in
Iraq ; it’s almost like you are doing it for
him.’
Picking up ten sacks, she headed up the aisle to where the
soldiers were seated. She stopped at my seat and
asked, ‘Which do you like best – beef or
chicken?’ ‘Chicken,’ I replied,
wondering why she asked. She turned and went to
the front of plane, returning a minute later
with a dinner plate from first class.
‘This is your thanks.’
After we finished
eating, I went again to the back of the plane,
heading for the rest room.
A man stopped me. ‘I saw what you did. I want to
be part of it. Here, take this.’ He handed me
twenty-five dollars.
Soon after I returned
to my seat, I saw the Flight Captain coming down
the aisle, looking at the aisle numbers as he
walked, I hoped he was not looking for me, but
noticed he was looking at the numbers only on my
side of the plane. When he got to my row he
stopped, smiled, held out his hand and said, ‘I
want to shake your hand.’ Quickly unfastening my
seatbelt I stood and took the Captain’s hand.
With a booming voice he said, ‘I was a soldier
and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought
me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never
forgot.’ I was embarrassed when applause was
heard from all of the passengers.
Later I walked to the
front of the plane so I could stretch my legs. A
man who was seated about six rows in front of me
reached out his hand, wanting to shake mine. He
left another twenty-five dollars in my palm.
When we landed I
gathered my belongings and started to deplane.
Waiting just inside the airplane door was a man
who stopped me, put something in my shirt
pocket, turned, and walked away without saying a
word. Another twenty-five dollars!
Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers
gathering for their trip to the base.I walked over to
them and handed them seventy-five dollars. ‘It
will take you some time to reach the base.
It will be about time for a sandwich.
God Bless You.’
Ten young men left that flight feeling the love and
respect of their fellow travelers.
As I walked briskly to
my car, I whispered a prayer for their safe
return. These soldiers were giving their all for
our country. I could only give them a couple of
meals. It seemed so little…
A veteran is someone
who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank
check made payable to ‘The United States of
America ‘ for an amount of ‘up to and
including my life.’
That is Honor, and there are way too many people
in this country who no longer understand that.
2011 According to legal analysts, there is a law
being passed which could in theory make many
types of affiliate marketing a federal felony.
In theory, many types of marketing, which don’t
fall under the terms and conditions of sites and
social networks, could be prosecuted under the
Department of Justice, for as much as three years
in federal prison for each instance.
The issue here has to do with the Computer Fraud
and Abuse act of 1986, which was originally made to
prosecute and convict hackers, has been expanded
over the years to include almost any type of “unauthorized
access.†While this is currently just a misdemeanor, and
the DOJ ignores these cases unless they are in combination with
“real†crimes, that might be changing. Well, congress
is about to expand this law to make it a felony, and make any
“excess unauthorized access†a federal felony.
Pushing for congress to enact this is companies like
Microsoft and… well, Facebook. The problem with
this is that this law will make it ILLEGAL to do anything
that is in violation of the terms and condition when you
sign up for example Facebook.
That means if you are one of those marketers
who use Facebook to promote your business, and
the terms and conditions prohibits you from posting
commercial messages on other people’s pages, or perhaps
sending out commercial messages via the message function,
you could be arrested for “excess unauthorized
access.â€
Think this is not possible? Well, in 2009 it turns out
that the DOJ actually did prosecute a woman who violated
the Terms of Service of Myspace for using a “fake photo†on
her profile. Why was this illegal? Because the TOS required her
to only use real photos of her.
You should read the Facebook TOS, there are several things
that you could be prosecuted for.
For example:
You will not engage in unlawful multi-level marketing, such
as a pyramid scheme, on Facebook. In theory, if you ever
mention a MLM product on Facebook, you could now go to
jail. If you mention it 10 times, you could spend 30 years in
prison?
You will not provide any false personal information on
Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than
yourself without permission.You want to make another
profile for your business, and one for your personal use
to keep people separate? Well, that’s illegal.
You will not post content or take any action on
Facebook that infringes or violates someone else’s rights or
otherwise violates the law.Want to promote a free gift card
product, go to jail if you don’t have rights to the TM. Just
some of the examples. In theory, many, many
CPA networks are violating the law when they use
facebook to promote their network in any fashion, or an
offer and do not use the facebook advertising system.
You will not send or otherwise post unauthorized
commercial communications (such as spam) on Facebook.
What is Spam? What is unauthorized? This means if
you use facebook to market any product, or even reach
out to a potential customer, is that illegal? Do we want
to criminalize this?
What’s even worse, if your company engages in
unauthorized marketing on any forum, any social network
or any site (that means even comment spam, which I hate),
you could be also prosecuted as organized criminals under the
changes in the law.
Hopefully this to will pass, it just seems that every
time we turn aroundthe minority is trying to dictate their
non entrepreneurial mindset on the masses. If you don’t
like a message on your Facebook wall UNFRIEND them, pretty
simple. The last thing we need is more government regulation
as it results to anything.
