Affiliate Marketing Course Commission Blueprint 2.0
Posted by: | CommentsIf you are looking to get into affiliate marketing there is a new course that is launching tomorrow (September 9, 2009) at 9 AM EST that you might want to check out. The course is called Commission Blueprint 2.0 and was developed by Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey. Steve and Tim came out with Commission Blueprint 1 in August of last year and it apparently broke records on the Clickbank digital product marketplace.
Steve Clayton - Commission Blueprint 2.0
Commission Blueprint 2.0 is going to cover all aspects of affiliate marketing including traffic generation (SEO, PPC (not just Google), email marketing, article marketing, etc.), creating your affiliate marketing websites and blogs (including their proprietary sitebuilder software, templates, and conversion strategies), and offer selection (including evaluating affiliate management companies, access to their own management company, and access to their offer evaluator tool). The course is designed for the beginner to the expert with sections clearly marked as to the level of teaching. There are numerous software tools included (some of which have been previously mentioned). There is also an active members forum. And all this is for a one time price of $497 with no upsells or any recurring fees.
The reason I bring up Commission Blueprint 2.0 is I am planning on purchasing it and checking it out for myself. I am not an affiliate so I am not going to provide a link. If you are interested, I would suggest you do a Google search for “Commission Blueprint 2″ and look for the affiliate that will provide you with the best bonus offer. (I wouldn’t normally buy a product for the bonuses as usually the bonuses are garbage but check around as there are some great bonuses around. Might as well take advantage of them.
Here are a couple of videos from an affiliate that provide some detail as to what Commission Blueprint 2.0 is all about. Enjoy.
I hopefully can provide a review once I have a chance to check out the course. If you also decide to get the course, feel free to leave your comments below on what you thought of the course.

Mike Dillard’s Infamous “Traffic Formula” Revealed!
MLM Traffic Formula 2 – The Formula
Posted by: | CommentsHere Mike Dillard reveals the formula in his MLM Traffic Formula 2 course.
The Traffic Formula
Mike Dillard
There are basically 3 steps to the traffic formula.
1.) Build a list.
2.) Develop a relationship with the people on that list.
3.) Market to your list.
By following this formula, Mike developed a multiple 7-figure income and a company worth 8-figures in less than 36 months.
Building Your List and a Relationship With Your List
Building your list is getting subscribers into your email autoresponder, onto your Facebook page, into your Twitter following, into your YouTube channel subscription, etc. so that you can communicate with them whenever you want. The 2 steps to this are 1) creating traffic (through PPC, SEO articles, social media sites, video sites, twitter) and 2) having a way to capture that traffic (a lead capture page that connects with your autoresponder).
This is critical to know. The value of your list is determined by the relationship you have with your list – the quality of the relationship. Mike’s business philosophy is you must give without want before you can get. People buy from people that they know, like and trust. The number of people on your list doesn’t really matter. What really matters is the number of people on your list that actively listens to you and does what you say or recommend. You build that relationship by giving value, by providing what helps them, thinking about their needs and wants before your own. That establishes trust and reciprocity and establishes you as a leader in their eyes, earning you the right to sell to them.
Market to Your List – Monetization
Mike doesn’t have the biggest list but he does have a great relationship with his list and as a result, he sells more product to his list than others do.
Leads are the lifeblood of your business and Mike generates about 600 free leads per day. If you are generating leads at $5 per lead but over the course of a month or year, each lead generates $10 in revenue, you will generate $5 of profit every time you generate a lead.
To market to your list you will need to set up an autresponder series, a series of emails that teach your people something or tell them about an offer. The autoresponder will systematically produce sales and income – this is the ultimate in leverage. You can set up this email series with 12 months worth of emails that go out each day.
Your Marketing Machine
This effectively is your marketing machine. In a matter of days you can set up your system to produce traffic, to produce leads, building relationships with these leads (autoresponder email series), monetizing these leads (again with the autoresponder email series).
When you hear of people building massive downlines in 1 month with 200 – 300 new distributors, they have done this by building a list. They simply send out an email to their list informing them of their new business opportunity and inviting them to a webinar or conference call. In a matter of hours they can have 100’s of people in their organization.
Ultimate Security
Developing You Inc. this way provides the ultimate in security. This can’t be taken away from you. The only way you could ever lose it is if your hosting company or your autoresponder company blew up and your hard drives and servers were destroyed – but even that doesn’t matter as you will have backups.
Even if your MLM company goes out of business you would be fine. Everybody else would be out of business as well as having no downline means no income. On the other hand, you have a distribution channel. You have a relationship with the people on that channel and you can monetize that channel. Once you find a new network marketing company that you like and that will serve your downline better, you would send an email to your list and you would be up and running and have your downline organization again.
MLM Traffic Formula 2
The original MLM Traffic Formula brought these concepts to the network marketing industry and the new MLM Traffic Formula 2 updates this with recent trends in the internet and marketing. It will provide you with the blueprint and details to build You Inc. and help you prosper in network marketing.
I have the original MLM Traffic Formula and I can vouch that it is the real deal. The original was full of valuable information that you can still apply to your business.

MLM Traffic Formula 2 – A Network Marketing Business Is Not A Real Business
Posted by: | CommentsHere are more gems from Mike Dillard from his MLM Traffic Formula 2 video.
A Network Marketing Business Is Not a Real Business
Mike Dillard
Some people are going to get angry about this but if you just have your downline in a network marketing business, you don’t have a real business and you are not really an entrepreneur. Why does Mike say that? In a network marketing business, you don’t own anything – you don’t have any real assets.
- You don’t own the company.
- You don’t own the products.
- You don’t own the distributor list.
- You don’t own your downline.
- You don’t own the marketing tools.
- You don’t own the name of the company.
- You don’t own the url.
- YOU DON’T OWN ANYTHING!
You are simply an independent distributor and you serve at the behest of the company. This can be taken away from you at any time for no reason.
You Inc.
MLM Traffic Formula 2 is all about creating You Inc. You want to own a real business, a business where you have equity and real assets that can’t be taken from you. What makes up your real business, You Inc.?
- Your list. Your biggest asset in your business is your list. The cliché for internet marketers is that the money is in the list and it is true. The list is people who have subscribed to your email list – people who have voluntarily said that they would like to follow you and that you have the opportunity to let them know what you are up to and what’s going on and new with you. With the advent of social networks, you can also include as part of your list, your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, YouTube channel subscribers, etc. Again, these are people that have voluntarily said that they want to follow you and hear from you. This is your business.
- Relationships. You develop relationships with the people on your list. This becomes your communication channel (like your own private cable channel, TV channel, and radio station) and distribution channel for your products and services.
Power of a List
Here is an example from Mike about the power of a list. Mike said that he has learned more from Eben Pagan than from anybody else. Eben Pagan is an information product marketer and over the last 12 months, Mike has written roughly 10 email promoting 3 of Eben’s products, roughly taking about 20 minutes per email. These emails generated $239,221 of sales for Eben or $23,922 per email and 3 hours and 20 minutes of work. (When Mike promotes his own stuff, the response is about 3 times the results of the promotion for Eben’s products.)

Mike Dillard’s MLM Traffic Formula 2
Posted by: | CommentsMike Dillard, one of the true pioneers in internet network marketing, is soon to release (June 2, 2009) a totally revised version of his industry-changing course which he creatively calls “MLM Traffic Formula 2”. To kick off the launch Mike recorded a video (see link below) that basically lays out the business model that he details in MLM Traffic Formula 2. The video is a wealth of information and I urge you to view it even if you have absolutely no interest in purchasing any of Mike’s products.

As a bit of background, Mike Dillard went from waiting tables to generating a 7-figure income in network marketing using the internet in the space of less than 36 months. He has achieved the level of the 2nd highest distributor in his MLM business and he generates 600 leads per day and 22,400 unique visitors to his websites per day (which is more than a lot of MLM company sites). In 2008 he generated $4.4 million in revenues from multiple streams of income (information products, etc.) from these websites, which excludes the revenue from his primary MLM business. Many of the top internet network marketers have used his training products to get them to where they are in the industry so he certainly has a lot of credibility.
The Convergence of the Internet and Network Marketing
The internet basically changed everything. The network marketing industry was built on tradition. You did what your upline said to do in the name of duplication and you didn’t question it. But the internet changed the landscape.
- Competition and information increased. Search engines, pay per click advertising, and Google AdWords have inundated prospects with information. Competitors are advertising all over the internet, for your company and your competitors. Pricing, product, and company information is readily available. Prospects can easily research your products and your company and find reviews of the company, negative comments, positive comments, and places where they can buy your company products at cut-rate prices.
- Decreased attention spans. We want things now. On the internet, you have 2 – 3 seconds to grab the attention of the reader. You need to be really efficient to deliver value to your prospects.
- Decreased customer retention rates. This is related to decreased attention spans. When you get a new distributor, you have about 2 months to get them actively involved in the process with the products and with the business, or they are out of there. There is always something better, faster, more profitable, more sexy coming down the pike to attract your distributors away. You have a short time frame to get your prospects to be raving fans of you, your business, and your products. As a result, you don’t really have residual income. People leaving as fast as you bring them in basically gets you nothing except burnout and a lighter wallet.
- Increased legal oversight. With marketing and advertising left in the hands of the distributor force, and the availability of low cost methods of advertising and marketing where anybody can advertise their products and business world-wide, the risk to the network marketing companies for exaggerated and fraudulent product benefits and income claims leading to litigation has increased almost infinitely. As a result, increasingly more companies will not let you market online due to the legal issues. Say what?!
MLM Traffic Formula 2 Goals
The goal of MLM Traffic Formula 2 is to build “You Inc.” a systematized internet business that can generate income practically on autopilot. Here are the goals for the course and these should be the goals of any internet business.
- Generate free leads.
- Sell automatically (your opportunity). This creates the real leverage of the business as now this process is systematized. This is done with email autoresponders and your website. The phone is still an important part of the process but you need to be smart about when to call your leads.
- Immunize your business from competition. This includes those from other companies and also from other distributors in your main opportunity.
- Generate multiple streams of income. You should generate 10 times the revenue than what you would from just building your downline business.

Pay Per Click Advertising and the Google AdWords Auction
Posted by: | CommentsIn this extremely informative video, Google’s Chief Economist, Hal Varian, explains how the Google ad auction works and how quality score, bid prices, and the interaction of other advertisers determines your bid price and positioning. Google pay per click is no longer a mystery!
A splendid example of credibility-building marketing – Perry Marshall
Posted by: | CommentsPerry Marshall is the man when it comes to pay per click advertising and especially Google AdWords. There just isn’t anyone better. He posted this article and video on his website which I thought was so great that I am posting it here. This is attraction marketing at its best. This ties in perfectly with Ann Sieg’s The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto and the concept of credibility ranking. Hopefully we can learn this and apply it to our own businesses. Without further ado, here’s Perry.
_____________________________________________________________________
In phone consultations I often advise clients to create a “shock and awe package” or credibility-builder to mail to their prospects. Preferably something with weight and heft. Especially in service businesses where the potential value of a new customer is in the thousands of dollars.
So here’s my example: we’ve got water in our basement and Laura contacts a few waterproofing companies. Just yesterday, in the mail, we got a VERY clever package.
What’s clever about it is not how “heavy” the book is, but how very professional it was. It instantly put them at “the front of the line.”
I shot a quick 7 minute video where I show you the book and talk about the ingeniousness of the company that mailed it; the author who wrote it; the instant edge over the competition; and how both service providers and authors can create a very nice business from this idea.

Social Media – Better Than Google
Posted by: | CommentsI just viewed a timely video done by Mike Klingler of the Renegade Professional. In the video Mike provides some valuable training on how to attract business with social media sites and social marketing. This is the way to build a solid online business and online business presence.
Social media are places on the web where you can socialize and interact with others. These places include YouTube, Squidoo, HubPages, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, ezine articles, and blogs to name a few.
Social marketing is marketing at these social media sites. This is highly effective because you can talk about things that your target market would be interested in. Depending upon the site, this is real time or near real time.
Web 2.0 is the so-called 2nd generation of the internet. What distinguishes it from the first generation is that the progression of web technologies has made it easier for people to get on the internet and interact. It’s not just for techies and geeks. It is much more accessible and much more mainstream.
What you want to do is to get in front of the trend. There is a massive movement going on and not everyone is aware of it. If you are not part of it, it will pass you by and your business will suffer and/or die. Web 2.0 has brought us all back to 1996 when the internet was the wild, wild, west, a new frontier where anybody willing to be a pioneer had an opportunity for unheard of riches. And that’s where we are now, if you take advantage of the changes going on in the internet and the economy.
Squidoo is up to 4.8M visitors per month as of January 2009. YouTube is up to 84.8M visitors per month. Facebook is up to 50.5M visitors per month and over 100,000 people sign up for Facebook every day. That’s every day! The number of users at these social media sites doubles every 6 months. This is incredible growth that you can tap into if you know how.
With social media, you can attract leads and sales easily. The demographics of social media users is important. Social media people make more (20% more) and spend more (25% more) than the rest of the people. These are the people that you want to target.
If you follow the guidance in The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto (Ann Sieg’s new book) and the soon to re-open Renegade Professional membership site, you will develop the competency to make money from this massive movement on the internet. The training at the Renegade Professional provides you the step-by-step, click-by-click training that will allow even an internet newbie to take advantage of this wave.
With what you learn from The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto and the Renegade Professional, you can go where the people are, go where the people go next, gain new associates and customers not with pushy sales tactics but with attraction marketing, and build your business in a professional and fun way.
I mentioned at the beginning of the article that Mike Klingler’s video was timely. It was more timely than anyone could imagine. Take a look at this:
This is from Retwigger which reports on the most retweeted tweets on Twitter. The Twitter retweet (resending a Twitter message to all your followers) was the single most retweeted message on all of Twitter, surpassing a retweet by Google (and also Guy Kawasaki who is an internet guru). I guess Ann and Mike are the real gurus!
I highly recommend that you watch the Social Media Better Than Google video and also get The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto. They are boh free. If you register on the site, you will also be notified as to when Renegade Professional re-launches.
Network Marketers – Providing Value and Getting Paid For Your Time (video)
Posted by: | CommentsThere is a paradigm shift going on in network marketing and Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are leading the way. New school network marketers are no longer pushy sales people whose only goal is to recruit, recruit, and recruit some more. With the attraction marketing model, network marketers lead by providing value first and provide solutions.
Providing value to the prospect comes first. And because we provide that real value, we no longer have to subscribe to the idea that network marketers can’t charge for training. What we are providing are cutting edge methods that leverage the internet and social media tools like twitter that can personalize mass communication.
Leaders in the field in the network marketing and MLM industry including corporate executives are asking for this training and are prepared to pay for it. Corporations outside of the networking marketing and MLM world are looking for this kind of training and are prepared to pay for it. As leaders and professionals in this new field of social media marketing we are now beginning to see ourselves as professional coaches and charging for our services. This is another important income stream to monetize your network marketing activities.
In this short video clip, Mike Klingler talks about this paradigm shift.
This is an excerpt from a longer video. You can go the Renegade Professional Blog to view the entire video.
Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are about to launch Renegade Professional which provides in-depth training on attraction marketing and all the cutting edge methods for building your network marketing business.

Network Marketing and Doing What You Love (video)
Posted by: | CommentsDid you read that title right? Network marketing and doing what you love? Yeah, maybe if you’re some kind of super salesman or you’re an extreme extrovert and enjoy the 3-foot rule.
Ann Sieg has just released a video where she interviews Mike Klingler. (If you were unaware, these two giants of internet network marketing are joining up to create the most comprehensive training system in this field, Renegade Professional.)
In the video, Mike explains how attraction marketing changes the whole game for you, the network marketer. If you don’t enjoy being the pushy, overly-assertive sales person and this makes you feel like you are not being yourself, what Mike teaches is for you. With attraction marketing, you no longer have to chase and pursue people.
Network marketing can actually be something you love and something that you can enjoy. You no longer have to feel the stress of doing what doesn’t feel natural to you. By providing value to others and being a solutions provider, people will actually seek you out. Following up is much easier when your calls are expected, anticipated, and welcomed. It is a whole different dynamic and you can be your real self.
