Meet My First Mentor

I get asked all the time; Holly how in the hell did you learn this stuff? And I have to tell the them, I had and still HAVE mentors! Many of them…and I learned something from each and every one of them.

Today I want to introduce to you my first mentor. I gotta tell ya; she is in incredible marketer and what I learned from her I still practice every day.

Notice that I said I STILL use EVERY DAY. And I’ve known her since what is it now? 2004? I was actually a cold call she made to NWM (network marketers).

Wow, time does fly. Now did she take me by the hand? NOPE! Did she call me everyday? NOPE! Did I study her every move for almost a year? YEP! Did I CASE (Copy And Steal Everything) everything she did? You betcha!

Did she get mad? NOPE! It’s one of the greatest complements you can give your sponsor/mentor when you take what they give you and put it into practice. Now wait, I didn’t COPY word for word exactly. What I did was take her leadership and created my own style….Get it?

Now hear me out; I took her example and followed it. Most of you are chasing the next big guru and you don’t stop and think of the ones right around you who are here to help.

Trust me when I say this! Not ONE big GURU will call you unless it is to sell you their ten-thousand gazillion dollar package! And then it won’t be them but some call center guy who is just out for the commission.

But my first mentor called me! Do you know when? When she saw that I was taking action on her mentoring. Some of you are out there saying to yourself, “My sponsor/mentor never calls me!” My response is, “Well they probably gave you homework that you never completed! So why should they?”

Come on people gimme a break.

Anyway, I guess I’ll have to put this into Holly’s rants category as well; although it didn’t start out that way. The whole reason I’m writing this is that Melanie is now…FINALLY! Damn, that girl took a long time…sharing with you what I learned from her a long time ago.

Wait she is going to GIVE it away…it’s 38 pages chock-ful of the exact same system I used to create my product giveaway awhile back; it’s the same system I used to start building my list! ONLY MORE. When I first met Melanie her ebook was 6 pages! I still have it…she has expanded on that and she is giving it away.

I said, “Melanie,I told her–Oh yeah her name is Melanie Milletics) she was an idiot…but she didn’t listen to me. hmmm

But listen this free guide will ONLY help you if you implement her strategies. Don’t let it sit on your hard-drive lost in the 1,000′s of ebooks that you already have…

Oh and tell Mel when you talk to her that Holly sent ya!

Marketing Strategy #22

Have you heard about the guy who sponsored 84 new distributors into his primary business in just 48 hrs.

Can you even imagine something like that?

Well, you know, if you look at your business from the old perspective…friends & family, prospecting, networking and cold calling…yes…it might seem flat out impossible.

BUT…when you realize the incredible POWER and LEVERAGE of the INTERNET and of building your very OWN LIST of prospects…

…the reality of exploding your business like that starts to become feasible.

Understand… Network Marketing is still, and always will be, a business of RELATIONSHIPS.

The more relationships you can create, the bigger you can build your network, the more leverage you have to build your business.

As you build your list, you are making new relationships.

Focus on nurturing your relationships. Its your job to build trust with your prospects and position yourself as the leader you truly are.

You see, this individual who sponsored 84 people in 48 hrs…
this is EXACTLY what he did.

He took 18 months and worked ONLY on building his list.

He developed relationships with his list by providing value and communicating on a regular basis.

After 18 months he had a built a solid list, a network of well over 10,000 people.

Just a few months ago, he was introduced to a new opportunity, a new company that is set to create a major stir in the industry.

So what does he do?

He seized the opportunity!

He sent one email to his network of 10,000 prospects that he spent the last 18 months building and developing.

He invited them to one conference call.

And he signed up 84 new distributors in just 48 hrs.

Impressive? Sure.

Magic? Not really.

Just a simple game plan. A solid business building strategy that makes him a Top Producer and true leader and mentor in this industry.

Do you have what it takes to do the same thing?

See most of you are out there promoting, promoting, promoting! You don’t care who is on the other end of the telephone line, email or whatever! Did you get the golden nugget? In this post?

He took 18 months! to build his list BEFORE he promoted anything to them! Come on people most of you will before 90 days is up. Do you have a passion for something? Could you share that passion? Will you take 18 months to build relationships around that passion?

If you do that, you might be able to quit your jobs in 18 months…hmmm…think on that for awhile!

Of course you do.

The strategy and training we teach here is the EXACT strategy and training that this guy uses.  In fact, its the EXACT strategy ALL top earners use.

Its simple really. You just have to stick to the game plan. Remain consistent and keep your eyes on that prize.

Marketing Strategy #21

I still get a lot of questions from people about the concept of ATTRACTION MARKETING and the main one is usually this:

“How can I be a leader, and an expert, and ATTRACT people to me, when I haven’t made a lot of money yet?!”

Well here’s the thing you need to understand…Its NOT about how much money you’ve made. MONEY has NOTHING to do with it!

By now you should have made some commissions, and perhaps even signed up some new distributors in your business.

BOTTOM LINE: After all this training, and with the incredible marketing system you now have, you know and understand more about MARKETING on the internet than 95% of all the network marketers out there!

That is powerful.

That makes YOU incredibly VALUABLE!

Its now your task to communicate your VALUE to the marketplace!

Let me explain…

One of my marketing mentors makes over 50,000 a month… all from his home computer. Incredible right?

But it’s because he “gets” ATTRACTION MARKETING and he’s a great marketing coach…

Now I hear ya saying…”yeah of course he is… he’s making 50,000 per month…he can coach because he’s there already…but what about me? I have no “story” like that yet…I don’t have any success at all?!”

In a previous post I talked about how you should count your successes.

See here’s the funny thing…

Not that long ago… he wasn’t making close to that kind of money…NOT even close…maybe a couple hundred dollars a month at most…and that was only about a year and a half ago too!

Oh yeah… he’s only like 24 or something… ridiculous!!!

So the thing is this… he succeeded because he CHOSE to position himself like this… as an expert… as a leader…He just absorbed great information, like we all can…

But UNLIKE most of us…
HE PUT HIS KNOWLEDGE TO PRACTICE AND STARTED TEACHING.

Even when he wasn’t making the money yet.

See here’s what you need to understand…You don’t have to have money like that to teach this…but because he actually started teaching…he began to generate cash flow…  and FAST TOO!

So what’s my point?

I want to make it crystal clear to you how important it is that you see yourself as a leader.

That you OWN YOUR GREATNESS!

Tell your story. Study all you can.

Become more VALUABLE! And then start teaching!

There are millions of struggling entrepreneurs on the internet RIGHT NOW…just searching for the right teacher…a leader…their “wizard”…

Someone who will help them to reach their goals.

YOU are that Wizard!

Own your greatness and get out there and change peoples lives!

I know that this will NOT get our money back; but everyday I login to my safepay solutions account and provide an update. After all that’s what I am about Customer Service…below is a synopsis of my ongoing support tickets to their

Support system…I mean LACK of Support System!

So I will continue to send updates because after all I’m all about customer service.

I wanted to touch base with you and tell you a story. We launched a website a few weeks back and 4/5/09 to be exact. Isn’t that exciting? We were so very excited and we were happy to use safepaysolutions to provide value to our customers.

So we launched and wow–safepay accepted about $900 of our members money. Again, we were making money and providing value to our customers.

Then someone emailed me a sad story about the problems with safepay and how they were holding money from folks. I couldn’t believe how anybody could get away with that.

Since I’m an honest person I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Lo and behold! On 4/15/09 and safepay sure enough disabled my account–the second we were “qualified” to ask for a withdrawal?

Why? I didn’t know until two weeks later when I finally did hear from the nice lady over there called Maria on 4/29/09–so almost 2 weeks AFTER I sent numerous requests.

I told this nice lady Maria that yes I did try to change my address and could they please allow me access to my account. It is now 5/14/09 and man they must have gone on vacation with everybody’s money because I have yet to hear from that nice lady Maria; who addressed me as Dear Holly…

I’ll update you again soon.

Marketing Strategy #20

If you’re feeling at all overwhelmed with all the information and training…I just want you to know…its OKAY…

Take a breath…relax…and lets just take this a step at a time.

You know, feeling overwhelmed and confused is one of the MAJOR obstacles that MOST online marketers face at some point in the process.

It is to be expected.

Realize that you are learning and attempting to master brand new skills.

You are growing and developing yourself as a marketer.

This is a process… and you must be willing to go through the discomfort and face the challenges of learning with perseverance and determination.

You are SO CLOSE.

You can only fail if you give up.

Honestly. You’ve got everything you need to make money online included in our system.

There isn’t ANYTHING else you need right now.

You have your website, your capture page, your autoresponder, a complete sales funnel, your money making programs, and you now have the knowledge to DRIVE traffic to your website.

The secret now is to follow a simple, proven marketing strategy and stick to it until it produces results.

Focus on the fundamental marketing strategies that continue to produce results. Stop surfing the net looking for some magic strategy, silver bullet or blasting software.

Don’t waste your time. Commit to completion.

The strategies we teach here are used in one form or another by all of the top successful marketers. I did not create this myself. I learned the strategies from some of the top income earners online. I follow it every day to generate leads and sales in my business.

Use the training here to put together your own marketing plan that focuses on your favorite techniques.

The secret is to implement and to stay CONSISTENT.

Marketing Strategy #19

I want to let you in on a little secret today.

Something that’s really changed the way I approach my business on the internet.

You see, if you want to succeed in business, you need to understand MARKETING.

And one very BASIC principle of marketing is to always GIVE your TARGET MARKET exactly what it is they are looking for.

Please …read that over a couple of times and really understand what that means.

You see, when you go out into the marketplace and start prospecting and sharing your products and opportunity with anything that breathes…well,
you might as well walk around with a huge billboard that screams

“AMATEUR!”

The secret to success in this industry is to GIVE YOUR PROSPECTS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT.

Now, personally, I like to focus my marketing efforts on EXISTING network marketers. This blog, and our marketing system, is designed specifically to attract these high quality prospects.

And it works because we give them exactly what they most want!

Wouldn’t you agree?

As a network marketer… what is it you really want?

Let’s see…

1. MORE LEADS – We show you how to generate your own super high quality leads by having your very own high converting Attraction Marketing System

Holly Recommends This Marketing System

2. MORE TRAFFIC – We teach you the most effective online marketing strategies for any budget, that can quickly and easily bring you quality traffic to your websites

3. SOME QUICK MONEY – We show you how to simply plug in and promote valuable affiliate tools, and resources to generate up front commissions from all the people on your list that don’t join your business so that you can finally GO FULL TIME in this industry.

4. MORE QUALITY DISTRIBUTORS – We teach you how to use the power of ATTRACTION MARKETING to attract real professionals and leaders to your organization to really build a powerful and fast growing team.

5. DUPLICATION ON YOUR TEAM – We provide for you a complete Training Center to teach your new team members the most effective online marketing strategies to build their business and YOUR downline…AND we even give you a complete turn key marketing system so your team members can have their own powerful websites and marketing system up and running in no time, duplicating your success.

You see when you learn how to provide EXACTLY what it is that your target market is searching for…you’ve got a formula for unlimited success.

The secret to making a lot of money is to offer valuable service. To give and to add value and improve other people’s lives by giving them what they want.

When you follow this simple philosophy, it is absolutely unbelievable what blessings and abundance will manifest in your life.

“Help others get what they want…and you will get what you want.”

It is so true!

Marketing Strategy #18

Every day I connect with dozens of network marketers online, most of them still struggling to achieve the success they desire.

One of the biggest questions I get asked is…

“I’m trying to get my business off the ground, but I’m on a very limited budget. I need to make money fast. What are the best low cost marketing strategies?”

My answer to them is…

If you are on a limited budget, you will have to approach your business from a slightly different perspective…but its very doable.

One of the worst things you could do is go out and spend every last dollar you have on buying leads, PPC campaigns, postcards, banners, or co-ops.

And yet, that is what many of you do.

Makes no sense.

You see… spending your last dime on advertising campaigns is the biggest mistake you could make. Why?

Because if you spend your $500 on leads, PPC, fliers, business cards, or a postcard campaign, you might get a few prospects, but if you don’t sponsor any of them, you’re back to square one. There’s no way to LEVERAGE the results.

Once you’ve called through your leads, it’s game over!

You need more leads!

And now you’re forced to spend more money to keep this endless cycle going. It’s like trying to build a business “from pay-check to pay-check”, and very few will ever come out ahead before they’re financially forced to call it quits.

And that is one reason for the 90% who quit within their first 90 days.

So what should you do?

What you want to do is invest your funds into “high leverage” skills and simple activities, which you can use over and over again to quickly and easily produce more leads any time you want… for FR*EE.

And that’s become very easy to do thanks to some BIG changes which have taken place in the online world recently…

If you were going to market online in the past, you had to be a certified search engine expert, or a wizard at pay-per-click with deep pockets full of cash in order to get enough traffic.

Well thanks to new Web 2.0 sites we have today like FaceBook, YouTube, CraigsList, and Ebay, you don’t have to spend big bucks, to tap into this massive flood of FR*EE traffic…

I mean why pay for leads and advertising when you can get them for free?

And the best part is that you don’t even need to be a computer expert to start using these simple tactics TODAY…
