Last weekend Dawn and I stopped at a road side stand
and bought several pounds of produce. Fresh Blueberries,
A Dozen ears of corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

This afternoon I was shucking corn on the porch and
couldn’t help but think about Jim Rohn’s story of the
parable of the sewer.

(At 3 Basic Laws http://www.3BasicLaws.com)

It is hard to believe that one cornel of corn can create
such a harvest. You have to plant in order to reap.
The problem with most network marketers is they
expect a great harvest with minimal seed planting.

Yes, when you plant, the birds are going to get some
and the heat will destroy some. But …..if you continue
to plant eventually the seed will take root and multiply
10 foe.

You have to continue to plant, daily, weekly and
monthly. Recruiting is numbers! We are all looking
for the right person at the RIGHT TIME in their life!
If you own 3 Basic Laws, it may be a good idea to
review the DVD set this week. Getting this conept
from my head to my heart was business altering
for me, and it could be for you as well.

It seems that every time I have checked my email this
week there is yet another email from another marketer
talking about PPV traffic.

For those of you that read our monthly newsletter and
or have attended some of my live events over the past
14-15 months you know we have been teaching this traffic
source for almost a year and a half.

I just can’t figure out why now, there seems to be so
much interest and by now I mean THIS WEEK. It has
been crazy.

Yes, PPV traffic is the lowest cost paid traffic source
available. Yes it can convert very well and make you
$$$. We have been using PPV traffic in our campaigns
for over a year.

When you first learn about this traffic source you will get
fired up. I have seen attendess breathing fire in my
live seminars when I share this method. Well not literally
but almost :}

I have had no less than 5 different marketers email me
about various PPV courses this week. The minimum investment
I can recall seeing is $197.00.

Yes, you probably should be using PPV traffic and you
definately should get yourself educated first. While we teach
this mehod in our live seminars, we DO NOT have a course on
this method alone. We just recommend that marketers read
the PPV Handbook before they invest in this type of traffic.

The PPV Handbook is here:
http://cmgwebsitetraffic.com/links/2581

Many traffic sources are hyped, become crowded and
ineffective. Over time this may happen with PPV, but thankfully
unlike PPC where Google is king, there are multiple sources for
PPV traffic.

So in summery yes, it is an effective traffic source when you
know what you are doing. Like every marketing method
you should get a foundational education BEFORE you
jump in blindly. $2,000 courses aren’t necessary.

———-

You can pay for traffic if you have money. If you have
time you can create a tremendous amount of traffic
from the Free sources we teach in this cours:

I personally believe that you should forget about
everything when you go on vacation. Let your
mind rest, renew and refocus. Try not to think
about your business.

From experience I know that is easier said than
done. For 20 or so years when I was building
teams, I prospected on every vacations.

As I look back now I realized this consistent
activity brought me some very good team
membersa and a few life long friends.

However if you are traveling to the beach or
somewhere else on vacation this year here are
3 Tips. For example’s sake let’s assume you are
going to Daytona Beach.

#1) Run Free Classified Ads targeting the Daytona
Beach area.

Here are our Top 10 Recommend Free
Classified AD sites:

classified ad campaigns I recommend this course:

#2 Take Bulletin Board Tear Off Flyers and plaster the
town.

If you keep your eyes open you will find public bulletin
boards everywhere. Quite frankly if you have been
involved in this industry anytime at all you should have
already trained your mind to spot these boards
& you should always have these flyers in your
automobile ready to be place on any public board you find.

Note: I am not talking about putting flyers on cars. I
am NOT SAYING you shouldn’t do that but Bulletin Boards
provide a captive, curious audience.

Ok, while I am thinking about let me get slightly off topic.
Yes, you can do flyers on cars, and I personally know powerful
network marketers who joined the industry from being
introduced this way.

It is all about timing and your flyer being on the right persons
window, at the right time in their life. 90% of the people
may get aggravated, but it ONLY TAKES ONE!

If I was going to Daytona Beach, and I was planning on doing
flyers on cars, the headline would match the market. It
would say something like ………….

Make Your Vacation Tax Deductable

Work from home and pay for your Vacation Every Year

Would you rather be in Hawaii?

I would only leave flyers on out of state cars. Better
yet have 2 Flyers one designed for vacationers and one
designed for locals.

The headline for locals could say something like

Daytona Beach Entrepreneurs Wanted

Part time Income Opportunity Daytona Beach Residents Only

Spend your Summer Away from Tourist!

This is all about matching your message to the market as we
talk about in our Local MLM Leads Course at
http://www.LocalMLMLeads.com

Back on topic….take bulletin board flyers, and if you choose to
use car flyers or what we call Blitz flyers, CUSTOMIZE them to
match the market.

#3 Take Several Hundred or Thousand Drop Cards
and don’t come home with any of them!

As I talk about in the recorded webinar at:
http://www.100DollarBillDropCardReview.com
all network marketers should be using drop cards daily.

I just had a flash back to my daughters dropping
drop cards on our vacations, wow I am getting old.
We had fun with them and made a game out of it,
especially with the 100 Dollar Bill Drop Cards.

So there you have it 3 ways to prospect while on
vacation, and of course by doing this you can make
some, all, or a portion of your vacation tax deductable!

(Of course check with your CPA)

I hope you have had a great weekend, mine was awesome.

As I sit here this morning, I started thinking about all the
negative junk I read over the weekend about Mike Potillo and
his involvement in a company called 360.

Let me start with a little background. I first met Mike in
the mid nineties at a convention right after he had joined
the company I was involved with. “Ignorance on Fire”
would be a good description of him at the time.

He was a very likeable young man with big dreams.

When I started my own company in 2000 Mike called our
office one day and said “I want to come to work for you”.
At the time I did everything I could to discourage him, but
about 8 hours later at $8.00 an hour he showed up at
my office with his car loaded down. He wasn’t going to
take no as an answer.

Over the next few years Mike worked in our office daily.
He loved the excitement. Many times I have wished he
could have been with me a few years earlier when I
could have had more time to provide direct business
building support.

Eventually, I decided that I did not want the responsibility
of a downline or owning a company and decided to semi-
retire and just focus on generic training, consulting and
seminars. That is what I have been doing for the last 8 years
or so.

Basically Mike, and my VP of sales at the time took the
company over and eventually merged it with Vita Mark
where Mike became the top money earner. I know that
Mike put his heart and soul into building his Vita Mark team.

From there he went to Ardyss in a corporate position and made
Body Magic a household name within the MLM community. Now
Mike is working in some corporate capacity with 360.

Let me say, that I basically have no opinion about the 360 comp
plan or product line. I have never had a reason to investigate it.
I know the internet is full of people that have tried to pick apart
the products and comp plan, but I have no firsthand knowledge
of either so I know better than to comment.

What I don’t get is how many network marketers don’t give other
network marketers the benefit of the doubt. I know, I know, I am
as out spoken as anyone about all the junk that “self proclaimed”
gurus propagate in the market place.

I have always said, “Do it, and then talk about it”. Mike
has done it. The only people that don’t have others trying to
pick them apart are the one’s that have never done anything!

I have said all of that to say this.

The highest compliment I can give any leader or corporate
officer is “They have a heart for the distributor”. This industry
is full of corporate people who feel the distributors are a necessary
evil and distributors with leadership titles whose only concern is
building a following, instead of other leaders.

I have known Mike for many years. I have known his wife Tiffany
and her parents Bill & Teresa since she was in grade school. I have
had dinner on multiple occasions with Mike’s parents.
THEY ARE ALL GOOD PEOPLE.

Has Mike said or done things in the past that maybe I have
disagreed with? Probably, and I am sure he would say the same
thing about me. I have also tried to live by the philosophy,

“Never try to explain yourself, your friends don’t need an
explanation and your enemies aren’t going to believe
you anyway”.

Give the guy a break! He is an only child, very excitable
person that grew up watching and loving Don Lapre infomercials.
He is not perfect, and MAYBE the 360 products and comp plan
aren’t either, so what?

Neither are you!

If you want to join, join, if you don’t…… don’t, but why waste
your time trying to make a villain out of someone whom you
don’t know that truly does have the best interest of his team
and the network marketing industry at heart?

It makes no sense.

Listen, I am all for throwing those people under the bus
that KNOWINGLY mislead and misguide people! I can say without
reservation that Mike Potillo is NOT one of those people.
