I tested and it passed. The other day one of my FB friends posted a link–and I checked it out–I liked what I saw–but I wanted to test it before I sent this out to all of you.

If you like viral list builders–then you’ll enjoy this tool. Not all the tools I use earn placement on my Resources page; but this one did.

After I signed up for the software–I sent out a message (broadcast) about joining my Facebook Fan page–from the one broadcast I got 20+ more fans. So I think this one is a keeper.

Check it out and watch the video–if you are like me and are looking for more ways to build your list–I think you’ll like this tool.

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!

O.K. not what you really want to hear from your sponsor right? Well, I can probably get away with it because I’m not your sponsor; oh and if you’re one of my team mates…sorry…just a little bit “kick ass” talk here.

Someone told me recently and I paraphrase…”Holly, you gotta take the n$%^$ple” out of your team’s…” well you get the picture. Did I get mad? Nope, because he’s was right… I have a tendency to babysit my team…

Well, I USED to anyway. See, we have a team website, a team social network, team training both for beginners and advanced, a team chat room open 24/7 and yet I would still find myself answering ”baby questions”. Questions where the answers are found on any one of the above resources…so I’ve weaned my team

In other words I had to get over myself already and I’m encouraging you to do the same…

So where am I headed with this? I can assure you this post is not random ramblings…at least I don’t think so YET!

If you have a thin skin you may want to stop reading…I’m on a role.

O.K. here goes! Unless you approach your warm market and at least tell them about your opportunity you are NOT going to make money your first week in any business! This may seem like a contradiction to what I teach…don’t bug your family and friends…but it’s NOT really.

See, you have to let the one’s you know what you’re doing or else somebody else will. But just tell them ONCE! Don’t bug them everyday or weekly to join your business. Let them see your success and trust me they will approach you.

And if you haven’t at least told your close associates what you’re doing don’t be mad when they call you and say, “Hey buddy, I have something I want you to look at…” How sad that would be for you.

So now, you’ve decided that you’re going to make the list and at least tell your associates at least once! I’m proud of you…BUT you still need to get over yourself already!

Here’s what else I teach…I teach my team how to market online so they can generate their own leads…BUT generating quality leads through online methods takes time…yup it took me at least 12 weeks to generate my first lead…through consistent DAILY activity…

I had someone email me and say I’m on day 3 of your training and I’m still not generating any leads… Day 3! That is too funny! I’m on day 2190! Most folks won’t last 90…

So what do you do in the meantime? You get out there and build your business using Social Media. You work your tail off to generate leads!

And while some of you may do that…here is what you WON’T do…

You refuse to pick up that 1,000 pound black snake (the phone) and make  those dials. So what if the leads suck…it good practice for when you start to generate quality leads.

If You Want The Things You Do Not Have

You Gotta Do The Things You Have Not Done!

So get over yourself already and have some cheese and crackers to go with the “whine”. Whining about not knowing how to market, or not knowing how to generate leads, or not knowing how to post a blog, or not knowing how to set up a myspace page, or whine, whine, whine… If you haven’t been online at least 5 years…just do what you’re told and stop surfing for the next big thing. You can build your business on a shoestring budget but ask anyone of my team mates who does it…it does NOT happen overnight.

I get approached at least once a day from team mates who haven’t even completed their training with the next best big thing! I have one guy who is NOT on my team who emails me at least once a week with yet another up and coming lifetime opportunity! Man, enough already. He needs to get over himself already!

So what is my schedule? Do I practice what I preach? You betcha! Most folks won’t do one hour of what it takes to generate leads on a budget…or one hour of what I do on a daily basis…will you?

Thursday’s Updating My Websites

My brain works overtime with stuff I like to share so I have a file that I add to almost weekly with ideas. Will I get to them all? Probably not, but i write them down anyway and you should too.

I’m guilty…yes I’m a computer “geek” and I have to STOP my brainstorming efforts for generating traffic and I too have to take the time and pick up the phone to call leads.

So get over yourself already and pick up the damn phone!
