I try – hard- to dissuade you from thinking that there is anything remotely magical that you could buy that would virtually ensure your success. I work to train my team and my clients to learn real marketing methods instead of relying on the next new big launch product that is going to solve all of their online business ills.
I watch whats on offer – and am extremely selective about what I actually let you in on…
But lets get real for a moment here.
5 years ago I met a guy named Mike Dillard. I bought a copy of his Magnetic Sponsoring and was one of his very first affiliates.
I made a ton of cash promoting his products (still do) because absolutely NO ONE had heard of the guy. He came out of no-where and completely shook up an industry. Flash forward 5 years and you’d have to live under a rock to be in Network Marketing online and not know of Mike Dillard.
I think my friend Mike might have some magic pixie dust…
Yo
u want to work less and make more money? Who doesn’t? Have a good look at what Mike Dillard has to say.
Mike has the knowledge- indeed!
P.S. In case you haven’t gotten a good look at the 7 free videos given to launch this offer- grab them before they are taken down! Even if you buy NOTHING you will learn a ton from watching those videos – guaranteed!

How to Convert More Leads into Buyers Using the Power of Facebook Marketing
Social Media Marketing is “the way business is done” today. You cannot make it through the day without hearing or seeing something about Twitter or Facebook. It goes without saying that your business marketing strategy should include the use of these high-profile networks. Those who are most successful in business today are certainly using Social Media Marketing effectively.
We’ve been using Social Media Marketing strategies since before the strategies were given a name … Most of the profits from our business come from the effective use of Social Media Marketing… And I want to share those methods with you.
You see, Twitter rocks – but it is like a big networking event. Its loud, and perhaps a bit rowdy – and everyone is allowed in. Lots of connections are possible, but only a few are made. I do tweet links to my capture pages occasionally – but leads are rarely generated there.
On the other hand, Facebook is like the private party after the event – or the hallway outside. Where you can actually ‘hear’ and get to know the person you may do business with. Facebook is where the deal is made. Facebook is the point of conversion.
So how do you make the best use of this knowledge? Ask your Twitter followers to friend you on Facebook. Its bound to come up naturally. Even more powerful – add your prospects as Facebook friends! No matter where the lead was generated, add them as a friend on Facebook.
I promise you ~ just doing that one thing will get you more results in business ~ as long as you are being authentic and YOU in your marketing in Facebook. No one ever said to spam your friends… OK?
By the way… are we FB friends?

With teachers, mentors, coaches and gurus popping up all over the web – each willing to take your cash in order to teach you what it really takes to succeed in Network Marketing, its time to let the truth fly!
Melanie Milletics & Pete Bunting
I recently interviewed Pete Bunting, a “Leader of Leaders” that works with ViSalus Sciences, a Network Marketing company in the wellness industry. Peter Bunting was a professional soccer player turned coach, and an Introduction Leader to the Landmark Forum when he first encountered Network Marketing. He was lucky enough to be mentored by two individuals who had both made millions in the industry before they were 25. Pete was teachable and coachable and went on to not only build the most stable organization in his company, he is now a corporate trainer who travels the country to work with and support the growing numbers of “ViSalians” working to promote the Nationwide Launch of the Body by Vi Challenge.
Pete attributes the stability of his organization to the level of integrity he runs his business by, and the development of leaders in his organization. Combine that with the consistency of following the proven training and simplest of systems for those just starting the business – and you have a proven model of success!
>>> What Does it Really Take to Succeed in MLM?<<<
Click to Play the Interview
Your first step to success in Network Marketing is to be coachable and teachable. You must be willing to follow the proven system that is laid out by your company. If others have gone before you and used a certain proven system to be successful – then by all means become an excellent mimic! I think far to often people get involved with a company and only see the parts they want to see. They don’t hear, or choose not to hear the ‘how’ they will be actually making money. Then when the simple system is laid out for them… they balk, stall, don’t work or change the system to ’suit them’ and find that ‘Network Marketing doesnt work”…
When I got started in this industry almost 10 years ago, there was a simple system to follow that produced results. Surprisingly, that system has not really changed much! Most Network Marketing companies have a simple process in place that new distributors can follow straight away and make money. The more contacts, the more money- right?
You are given a script to follow to take your prospect through a few simple steps:
#1 Prospect listens to a 3 minute sizzle call to qualify their interest.
#2 Give the interested prospect your website to review
#3 Prospect gets a full business overview live on the phone/ a webinar or a recorded video
#4 Get the upline on the phone to answer questions.
#5 Collect a decision – make a sale!
This hasn’t changed much in 10 years – except that we have far more sophisticated websites/autoresponders/ways the prospect can get the overview. And guess what? It still works! All across the nation, people are taking their prospects through that simple duplicatable system, outlined by a script… and they are making sales!
So if you are in a Network Marketing company with a simple duplicatable system like this, and you are not making sales… you must ask yourself if you are indeed teachable and coachable. Are you following the instructions given by your mentor? If not, perhaps you need to put on your ’student of the industry’ cap and get rid of the ego thats in the way of you and your commission check!
“But I don’t want to build my business that way… I want to do it MY way…”
Is YOUR way working?
Then try doing what the millionaires in your company are doing… just try it… do it till you are good at it. See what happens.
Its got to be better than what you have going on now, right?
Follow the simple system given to you by your Network Marketing company and master the basics until you can do them without thinking – and until you are sponsoring easily. Become a recruiting machine – a master recruiter if you will. Stuff your sales funnel with qualified prospects, let the system sort them – and collect the checks at the other end.
That’s Network Marketing Success, right? No… its not. That’s success in Direct Sales. You still have a ways to go to be successful.
Next, you need to teach your new people to follow the same, simple system. This is how we achieve duplication in Network Marketing. Its how you achieve true leverage. you know, the efforts of 1% of 100 people verses 100% of your own efforts? This is how you get those bonus overrides – the money earned when others in your business earn a check. When you have a happy little army going out and making sales so you can earn those bonuses – THEN you have achieved success in Network Marketing …. RIGHT? WRONG!
True success in Network Marketing is when you have true residual income. You know, what they call ‘walk away’ income where your business pays you month after month whether you work it or not. The Residual Income Dream that lures us all into this industry. That, my friend, is the Holy Grail of MLM. So… how can we reach this level of success?
The attainment of true residual income can only happen as you develop leaders in your organization. The development of leadership is how you have a large, stable, growing organization without the mass attrition that is so common in Network Marketing. You must develop leadership in yourself, and then you must ‘pour into’ the people who are in your business who want to become leaders themselves. You are already enjoying the fruits of your labor as people duplicate in your business – now you must GIVE BACK to the people in your group. Invest your time and energy making sure that those who are asking for your guidance get it. Make sure they are empowered by the education you give them.
When you have an organization held together with integrity and strong with true leaders – you have achieved true success in Network Marketing.
To summarize
#1 Humble your self to be coachable and teachable and follow the simple system outlined by your company. Do not deviate or re-create the wheel…
#2 Teach those you bring on board to follow the exact same system to achieve duplication
#3 Develop leadership in yourself, and then empower leaders in your organization. Raise them up to stand on their own.
#4 With a team of leaders… you have succeeded!
Some people can do this all very quickly. They have a ‘nothing to lose’ mentality and just go take all out massive action. They have success right out of the gate, while others stand in awe.
Others take years to have success. Perhaps their belief, faith or even need is not as great as the person who is on fire from the start.
Which are you?
I suggest you start right now as if this was day 1 in your journey to success in Network Marketing. Get your gift of faith out – know that if you follow the simple system that it will result in sales. Take all out massive action and make some crazy cash, and teach others to do the same. Seek a mentor that can help you develop your leadership abilities… and claim the Residual Income Dream for yourself!
“Faith is a spiritual gifting that is present in the Entrepreneur. It is obedience to a calling, risk taking in response to a vision – a believing wholeheartedly in the unseen.
You have been called to greatness ~ it is time to step out in faith.” – Melanie Milletics

There is no question in my mind that the 6 f-ree videos you can access here: http://budurl.com/7thdimension are going to cause a quantum shift in the way you think about your home based business.
I’ve been in business for myself for almost 10 years- and am pretty quick to evaluate information and know whether or not it is truly going to be of value to those of you who are working from home.
When something this good becomes available – it is worth stopping and taking the time to watch, learn and apply.
Spend the time to watch now- and you will certainly spend less time working your business – and more time doing the things you love as your business produces more profits for you.
I absolutely had to watch myself after reading this story from Ann Sieg :
What I’m about to share with you isn’t normal.
(In fact, it’s weird and kind of embarrassing.)
But luckily I got permission to tell you this story
because I think you can benefit from it in a big way.
As you may know, Mark Hoverson has an unusual way
of sharing his valuable secrets.
You probably watched him beside his shiny Escalade
(actually 2 Escalades, one for him, one for his wife)…
Clowning around with his healthy little children…
And keeping his lovely bride company as they enjoy
a level of time & lifestyle freedom that’s so enviable!
Trips to exotic islands, second homes in sunny places,
sailing trips, weekly dates, over 14 weeks of vacation
last year, (and like I mentioned yesterday a 6-figure
payday for leading tipping-point projects like this.)
——————————
That Good Stuff – And It Isn’t Pretty!
————————————————
He told me I could tell it to you today.
When he first joined the home business industry
he bought expensive leads and spent 10 hours a
day on the phone. No sales and lot of stress.
His business was not only unprofitable…
IT WAS DOWNRIGHT EMBARRASSING!
It got so bad that friends started buying his
family groceries because they felt sorry for
his underprivileged children.
He chugged 3 cans of the cheapest beer money could
buy every night to try to medicate the pain away.
One night (he actually told me I could share this)
he drank himself to tears and laid on the floor
of his living room and cried himself to sleep
because he felt his life was so stressful.
To save money on baby formula, he and his wife
concocted a disgusting substitute that consisted
of Kyro syrup and canned milk.
————————————————
The Doctor Sternly Scolded
Them For Being So Cheap!
————————————————
He was humiliated.
Finally, out of desperation, he did the unthinkable.
(And here’s where the story gets a little weird.)
He decided he wouldn’t eat anything for 7 days!
Nothing.
Just water.
“It wasn’t a religious fast, I had heard about people
gaining mental clarity if they simply stopped eating
for a while… and I was willing to try anything at
that point in time” he sheepishly admitted to me.
Then he said:
“Ann, on day 5 of the fast I had an idea suddenly pop
into my head. In my mind I saw myself communicating
to every one of my prospects through online video.
I pictured myself completely off the telephone.
I imagined myself educating, influencing, and
making profits because of these online videos.
————————————————
I Imagined Commission Emails
Flooding My Inbox 24 Hours A Day
————————————————
Day 5 of that fast changed my life – literally!
I knew nothing about online video at the time.
Nothing.
I just knew it was going to be the key to getting
my time-freedom back and putting money in my pocket.
In fact, I went to my computer and printed out
a picture of the Visa, MasterCard, and Discover
logos and pinned them onto my bulletin board.
Then I took out a pen and wrote:
————————————————
‘I Allow Money To Flow Into My Bank
Account 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week’
————————————————
Even though I was running my business from a
little kitchen table with screaming kids in
the background and no realistic reason to
think that things would get any better.
I began to tear out pictures of fancy office
furniture and wrote underneath them, ‘I allow
myself to have a sleek, hi-tech office that
demonstrates prosperity in every corner.’
As he was telling me this story, he pointed
out with a deep sense of wonder how all the
pieces miraculously came together for him.
He told me about the struggles he and his
wife experienced when he racked up obscene
amounts of credit card debt with absolutely
no sign that his business was going to work.
He told me about how he would participate in
month-long “research projects” at a medical
center where they would give him generic
drugs and monitor the effects it had
on his bloodstream…
————————————————
All So He Could Make A Little
Extra Money To Keep Going!
————————————————
(He even showed me the permanent needle marks
on his hands from hundreds of “blood draws”)
He told me about how people in his family
thought he was going crazy because he wasn’t
taking good care of his wife and children like
he was supposed to.
Believe it or not, he even had one pastor send
send him an email saying: “All you’re trying to
do is take advantage of gullible old people with
this business opportunity thing of yours.”
He also told me about how his weight ballooned
out of control and how he couldn’t sleep well
at night because he constantly kept his jaw
clenched from the pressure and stress.
He confessed to buying his clothes at Wal-Mart.
One day he was playing basketball with some
teenagers and they teased him because his
shoes were so cheap. They didn’t know…
————————————————
The $24 He Spent To Get Them Was A
Purchase He Talked Over With His Wife!
————————————————
However, like I hinted at earlier…
Things are much, MUCH different for him today!
He’s writing a couple books that are bound to
become best-sellers.
He has two different colognes set to release
later this year.
And if that wasn’t enough, he’s overseeing a
fashion designer creating what he fondly refers
to as “the earth’s most perfect pair of underwear.”
(Organic Egyptian cotton woven with pure silver.)
Anyways, here’s the bottom line 
I couldn’t imagine a more emphatic person leading
the charge with this new project because he’s been
on both sides of the spectrum.
He remembers the intense fear, stress, and nerves
of getting started online like it was yesterday.
But he discovered how to overcome these challenges
and thrive even in today’s gutter-ball economy.
Which means…
————————————————
You’ll Be In The Hands
Of A Capable Expert!
————————————————
Every now and then in our lives, it seems a unique
event pops us and grabs our undivided attention.
Then, almost suddenly, it surprises us and quickly
becomes a “defining moment” that changes EVERYTHING!
I believe as you absorb these videos and wrap your

You’ll experience a major turning point in your life
where the light bulb turns on, and you say to yourself:
“A-ha! I get it now!”
So, here’s what you must do, and do immediately.
We’ve put together a goodie page with some killer
pre-training that shows you what I’m talking about.

P.S. I forgot to mention, on the goodie page
I have an area where you can give me questions
to ask this guy during our webinar next week.
(He gave me permission to go after him 100%)
One of the big controversies I’m going to drill
him on is how it’s possible to automate your
income without alienating new team members.
Anyways, get on the priority list now,
watch the videos, and send me some questions to
ask him during next week’s live webinar.

should realize that a ‘blog’ is the central hub of your
online presence.
3 years ago you needed to have a professional web designer
build an HTML site for you. It was expensive and then you had
little or no control over the site, changes to it etc… you were
dependent on the web master.
Today its a truly simple process and everyone from 10 year old kids
to 80 year old grandma’s are able to create a website in a matter
of minutes – by launching a blog.
Easy right? But there are literally hundreds of options to choose
from for a blog platform, right? WRONG
by all online marketers – the self-hosted blog.

Now more than ever you need to learn recession proof skills.
Your success in your Home Based Business depends on it!
Case in point:
Two Renegade students just closed on new homes last week!
One is a guy who cleans houses for a living and the other is a home school mom of three who just became a single parent.
Now, a year or so ago this would have been a really big deal.
But in today’s huge economic crisis of banks going belly up, people losing their jobs and massive foreclosure rates this is not only a big deal… it’s a HUGE deal.
But look, it’s not just because of the uncertain economic times that make this news special.
More special is “WHO” and “WHY” these Renegade students are closing on new homes.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY — WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE?
I want YOU to discover how to redirect your entire future — just like these Renegade students have.
You see about four years ago I made a decision (actually it was more like a “do-or-die” commitment) to learn how to build income on demand.
Back then even when the economy was good, I acted as though my entire future was at stake at that very moment. Because, well, it was.
But I want you to know even with the market correction going on right now, it’s never too late to make good decisions about your future.
NOW MORE THAN EVER YOU NEED TO LEARN RECESSION PROOF SKILL SETS
And while you might have had the luxury to toy around with this idea a few months ago, this is no longer the case. There’s no time for messing around.
Back to the two Renegade students – Wendy Mills and Thomas Hernandez.
Wendy Mills, a homeschool mom from New York who hasn’t held a job in over SIX YEARS said the past couple months have had her head spinning in a thousand different directions.
She had to prepare for her new home purchase… nail down health insurance coverage for her kids… and attend umpteen meetings with her divorce attorney.
But despite all that chaos — her business growth has hit an ALL TIME high!
Apparently, someone forgot to tell her we’re right in the middle of an economic “melt down” and nobody’s supposed to be buying much of anything these days.
And as far as the other Renegade student, Thomas Hernandez… He’s a twenty-five year old guy who cleans homes for a living with his wife.
He basically just started marketing his business online a few short months ago and has already been making enough money to cover his monthly mortgage payment. Now he’s taking it a step further and buying a new home!
But his story gets even better…
Seven months ago he didn’t even own a computer. In fact, he HATED computers because he thought they were boring!
Not anymore.
Because now he has 6-8 new people coming to him EVERY DAY from all over the world – for FREE! And they all want to find out more about what he’s doing and how they can join him in business.
He calls his new-found way of doing business “Rejection Free Marketing.”
If you haven’t started experiencing this yet yourself, there’s literally never been a better time. Generating your own high- quality leads on the internet has never been easier – or cheaper!
Plus, I just finished up something that should make learning my material A LOT easier and much more comfortable…
(PHYSICAL EDITION) IS NOW AVAILABLE
Your Renegade Network Marketer physica edition training package is ready and waiting just for you.
You’ll get a spiral bound manual of The Renegade Network Marketer that you can finally get your hands on… flip through the pages… highlight it… scribble notes in it… anything you like.

Join the ranks of the tens of thousands of other Renegade Network Marketers who have learned how to protect themselves against the effects of the economy by injecting their business with fresh new leads and free sales everyday.
Here’s how profitable it can get when you learn how to bring business to you. In just two short months, another student of mine, (Angela) who spends a mere two hours a day on her business, has so many people calling her she had to start charging $100/hour just to get some of them to leave her alone.
The only problem is, it didn’t work! Her prospects (people who hadn’t even joined her opportunity yet) were more than willing to pay what she was asking for!
Plus, she says they respect her time more now than when she was the one calling them.
She now has ten clients paying her $100/hour -– and that’s on top of her network marketing income!
You too can get a hold of your financial future today by ordering the physical edition of The Renegade Network Marketer.

As much as we would like them to, the reality is,
a lot of people simply will not buy from us the first
time they come across our message.
In fact, the majority of them won’t.
Even if your offer is EXACTLY what they’re
looking for, it’s actually quite rare that someone will
buy from you or sign up for your opportunity the
very first time you make contact with them.
This is just something you have to factor into the
equation when you’re hammering out your
overall sales process.
Perhaps you’ve heard this popular mlm phrase
before…
“Some will, some won’t, who cares, who’s next?”
My upline in one of my former companies used to
embed this saying into our heads every chance they
got. The idea being that if someone isn’t interested,
you’re supposed to just forget about them and
move on to the next person.
Aside from the fact that we weren’t talking to the
right people in the first place, this has to be some of
the most damaging marketing advice I’ve ever fallen
victim to.
If you don’t have a systemized follow up procedure
in place for every single one of your prospects,
you’re leaving untold amounts of money on the
table.
A good autoresponder follow up sequence can EASILY quadruple
your sales because rather than just being able to sell
to the same person once, you can sell to them 5
times… 10 times… even 100 times.
The fortune truly is in the follow up.
Now here’s another popular saying you may have
heard:
“A prospect has to see your message at least 7 times
before they actually buy.”
While it certainly is true that your prospects need
repeated exposures to your offer before they will
decide to take action on it…
Merely SEEING your message isn’t enough.
Unfortunately, this “7 times rule of thumb” only
paints half the picture. Many people implement it
the wrong way.
See, when you follow up with someone, you cannot
continue to hit them up with a sales pitch every
time.
If a plain old sales pitch was enough, they would
have bought the first time. Seeing or hearing it 7
more times isn’t going to do the trick.
The reason they didn’t buy the first time around is
because they weren’t convinced that you’ll really be
able to deliver what your sales pitch promises.
You have to prove it to them.
The purpose of the autoresponder follow up is to build trust and
credibility because these are some of the biggest
obstacles that hold anyone back from making a
purchase.
Every time you contact someone, each message
should sell them on the idea that their time and
money will be well spent with you not because
you asked for it, but because you gave them
valuable information for free.
This information has to be genuinely useful to them
regardless of whether or not they ever buy from you.
This is the only way autoresponder follow up becomes effective
and how you get your message in front of people,
because prospects don’t pay attention to pitches,
they pay attention to value.
When your messages become educational rather
than confrontational, all resistance melts. The
natural defenses that every person has against being
sold disappear.
So the next time you communicate with someone,
just picture their busy schedule with ten million
things on their to do list. Ask yourself if what you’re
trying to say is something they could easily dismiss
and relinquish to the junk folder… or… if it’s
something they won’t be able to ignore because it
would immediately improve their lives in some way
the moment they read it.

I know lots of people tend to obsess over the size of
their email list.
Which makes sense – I mean, more people getting your
emails has to be a good thing, right?
Problem is, not everyone who GETS your email actually
READS it. Or even opens it. In fact, the actual numbers
are that on average only 20-30% of your list is going
to open any given email they receive from you.
Ouch huh?
Not that it’s your fault or anything… they could just
be super busy at the time. Or perhaps it got lost in a
flood of emails that just happened to come in at the
same time yours did.
Or maybe they are just plain tired and will “look at it
later” (which we all know won’t happen)
So what can you do about it?
Well with a lot of the people who don’t open your
email it’s simply a matter of timing.
It’s not that they aren’t interested in what you have
to say… it’s just that it came in at the wrong time.
So how about this for an idea…
Take all the people who DIDN’T open your first email
and send them the SAME email the next day with a
different subject line.
Just a different subject line. Takes about two minutes.
Simple but powerful.
Check out these numbers from a recent promotion for the Renegade System:
First mailing: 121 sales
Second mailing (SAME email): 66 sales
Third mailing (again the same email): 47 sales
Simply by changing the subject line and resending the
same email, that’s an extra 113 sales!!
Almost DOUBLE the sales if you only emailed once!
Pretty cool, huh 
In fact, it’s so cool that I wish it was my idea!
Unfortunately, I can’t take the credit for this one.
It’s one of the 13 tactics that my friend Ryan Deiss
will show you in his new Sneaky Email Secrets Report.
This is seriously cool stuff, and I highly recommend
it.
After all, if just that one secret could DOUBLE your
total sales… imagine what you could do with all 13
secrets.
Ryan’s been building businesses online for almost ten
years now and he’s one of the few people I recommend
listening to when it comes to making more sales with
your emails.
I’ve personally tested and used just TWO of the secrets
in his report and I can tell you they work like crazy.
If you don’t know these 13 + secrets… but your competition does???

2009 is officially gone, and I could very easily simply leave it behind me. There were some major personal upheavals that happened, and in the sake of sanity… sometimes you just have to look forward, right? I mean, isn’t that what every personal development book under the sun tells you? Forgive, forget, and move on, lest your own baggage will keep you way, way down?
Sometimes, but not in the case of the story of 2009, and isn’t Melanie Milletics just incredibly LUCKY???
Ha, no way – the harder I work, the luckier I get.
First, a brief explanation of who I am, what I do, and how all the pieces of this 2009 story fit together. I’m a wife, mother, and primary bread winner in the household. Mom’s little home based business became awfully profitable after she learned a the power of List Building. I’m a Network Marketer who generates her own leads online through what people now call Web 2.0, and more recently ‘attraction marketing‘. In plain speak, I have a large subscriber base that is primarily made up of people who are either home business buyers, seekers, or simply curious. I work to entertain said subscribers by posting informative lessons on this here blog… and a good number of those people decide they like me enough to work with me in my Network Marketing company. Those that don’t may decide to buy one of the information products or services I review for them. I’m extremely careful about what I recommend to my subscribers… after all, I want them to like me and stay subscribed I only share those things I have personally used and found to be beneficial, or educational and of value. I’ve been building this list of subscribers since 2006 … and that list is literally GOLD. Its because of that list that much of what you see below was made possible.
So, without further ado, 2009 in video review.
The first video was actually taken in November of ‘08, but its very applicable to this story. See, its all about my getting the best home based business tax course in existence for FREE. Yep, my ‘lucky star’ was shining while I was cruising, and Sandy Botkins handed me Tax Strategies for Business Professionals, a course worth about a grand. I won it – and it really made a difference in how I tracked my business income and expenses in 2009. After all, I want to KEEP as much of the money I earn as possible.
I actually am pretty ‘lucky’. I just expect that great things will happen to me, and that life will be sweet. Most of the time I get what I expect. Imagine that…
In early 2009 I decided to expand ‘Me Inc’ and my online real estate. Since I had been building my own list since 2006, it made perfect sense to start MLM List Building Secrets. I also started to provide training webinars for my subscribers to teach them the methods I had used to become the top enroller in my company using 100% online marketing methods.
In the spring of 2009 the Renegade Network Marketer, Ann Sieg, announced the merging of the Renegade System with with Mike Klinglers Marketing Merge. She asked me to be a coach for the system and to provide exclusive training on my expertise, MLM list building. They ran a affiliate promotion to enroll Renegade Professional students, and I was the #1 affiliate for leads generated, and in the top 3 for sales.
The video is actually a thank you to my friend Mike Dillard ~ for it was his Magnetic Sponsoring course that I purchased back in 2005 that really changed my money pit of a home business into a cash cow. It’s also what helped me to become the #1 woman affiliate in the MLM niche
As the Renegade Professional and the launch of Mike Dillard’s Better Networker increased the number of Network Marketers who were attempting to build their business online, it became clear to me that there was alot of confusion about ‘best practices’. Since I had been studying top internet marketers since 2001, I had a very clear idea of how to best set up a home based business online. I felt an overwhelming need to tell everything I knew, and knew I could help those who were struggling to establish themselves online to get it done right the first time. I created a free membership site at www.SponsoringSuccess.net and provided clear instructions on how to build a Network Marketing business online.
In probably the most technically complex tasks of my life, I launched SponsoringSuccess.net membership site, a web based resource to help the home based business owner succeed wildly online.
In the summer of 2009 Mike Dillard announced the release of the Traffic Formula 2 course, and an incredible affiliate contest. While traveling to Los Angeles to investigate my potential new Network Marketing home, I participated in the affiliate launch and was the only woman on the top 10 leaderboard. Ultimately, I ended up in lucky 13th place… but hey, I was traveling!
Mike Dillard used my video on the sales page – and subsequently asked me to be an Instructor at Better Networker.
In June I officially made my move to work with ViSalus Sciences, a Network Marketing company who’s marketing system, the Vi-Net, is actually a social networking site that directly integrates with sites like Facebook and Twitter to make Social Media Marketing easy. In July, ViSalus launched the Nationwide Body By Vi Challenge, and I launched my own 90 Day Challenge Vlog at www.my-body-by-vi.com .
I set out to transform my body – and spent the next 90 days focused on my own health. You can see the videos I created in the archives at www.my-body-by-vi.com .
I put all of my effort and focus into building up ViSalus, and by the time the ViSalus Fusion Academy came to Tampa, I had a couple of excellent accomplishments recognized!
I had achieved the rank of Regional Director, and the BMW Bonus!
I also earned a Free Cruise for being a Top Producer in the Body By Vi Challenge.
The end of 2010 was all about helping those people I had gotten started in the fall to get up to speed and making money… after all, thats how this business model works!
2009 was pretty spectacular, considering all that I set my mind to accomplish. The bar is now raised, and the first set goals for 2010 are already on paper. I’ll continue to grow my list and provide valuable training to those who seek to have a profitable internet based business. I’ll continue to climb the ranks in ViSalus by training others with the methods of the Fusion Academy. I know the goals I have written will come to pass, for I am unstoppable.
Faith is a spiritual gifting that is present in the Entrepreneur. It is obedience to a calling, risk taking in response to a vision – a believing wholeheartedly in the unseen. You have been called to greatness ~ it is time to step out in faith. http://budurl.com/liveyourdreams
