Legitimate daily cash programs are popping up all over the internet.  Its not get-rich-quick, but it is definitely “get-paid-lots-fast” and worth a second look.

In May of 2011 I received a skype message from a business contact about a daily cash program that I needed to check out.  Up to that point, I’d really never been approached by anything like that (other than spam) so because I had respect for this individual, I watched the 20 minute video.    That was my introduction into CPA (Cost Per Action) Marketing and since that video I’ve cleared over $15,000 in daily cash payments and haven’t looked back.

Fighting Mediocrity: 5 Bad Habits That Nearly Destroy Every Top Producer

by The Stonecold Millionaire on February 26, 2012

Mediocrity can be a cancer that creeps in and destroys everything you’ve worked for.  I know.  It nearly destroyed me.

T. Harv Ecker in his book, “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind,” described a mental condition that, if “undiagnosed,” will creep in and bleed you of all your productivity.  He said that we all have a financial “thermostat” that’s set at a certain “temperature” for wealth.  Like a thermostat that regulates the temperature in a room that blows in cool air to bring down the temperature or hot air to raise it, so does your mind when it comes to financial success.

So, if you’re sub-conscious thermostat is set at earning $50,000 per year, here’s what will happen.  If you happen to earn $75,000 the following year, you’ll tend to start doing things that will cause you to have a major drop off in production.  You’ll do little unconscious things, such as slip on your follow up, forget to return phone calls, miss deadlines, start watching more TV, taking “deserved breaks,” spending money on frivolous things, etc.  You don’t realize it, but your internal thermostat has kicked in to regulate your “temperature” so that you fall back down to the pre-set temperature of $50,000.

Survival Guide: When Doubters Of Your Success Are Not So Anonymous

by The Stonecold Millionaire on February 25, 2012

This article is all about how to respond to your haters.  If you don’t have them now, don’t worry.  They are in route to your life in short order.

Over the last 3 years I’ve been able to work my way up from being a broke cable guy in Columbus Ohio, struggling to pay $800 in rent and living in a 950 sq. ft. home, having 3 overdrawn checking accounts, and a host of other depressing realities, to being able to earn close to $100,000 in income in less than a year on income earned 100% from my computer.

My entire story over the last 3 years is thoroughly documented in videos, pictures, articles, interviews you name it.

For those that have been following me since I used to stand in front of that tree in my front lawn and cut videos, you know its the truth. I thank God for those of you who have applauded my success and have gained inspiration from it.

Then there are people like Frank B. (frankebarbosa@live.com) who wrote the following comment on my blog the other day:

“Larry this sounds just like all the rest of those other home business that have stolen numerous times from me for ive been unemolyeed for 13 moths they get you to sighn up for some free book or tape then it just never stops and being a beginer they never tell you the cost of anything its just one surprise after another and those account sheets they show you of thousands they make cmon Larry anyone can fabricate those earnings ill go clean your back yard and mow the lawn for a few bucks so my son wont go hungry Larry you and I know there is nothing free in this world nothing. t” (typos were all his).

When I first got online and started to get “hate mail,” I used to get PISSED and chase after every naysayer and try to CRUSH them with my responses. I wasn’t a public figure at the time so I took everything that people said personally. I wanted to MAKE people believe me.

That’s a lot of wasted energy.

Did you know that doubters like Frank B. exist to fuel you to the next level?  Here’s what I realized; when the noise of doubters was the loudest, I experienced my biggest victories shortly after. It’s weird, but its almost like they are the arrows painted in the road on your race to success, pointing you to the next level.

Most people look at doubters and haters as a deterrent or distraction, but if you group them in with every other obstacle that’s designed to strengthen you, it will give you the proper framing for the amazing success ahead.

So today, here’s how I respond to people like Frank B.:

(SILENCE)

Did Frank B. get scammed by someone else?  Doubtful, but possible.  Are there people out there who fabricate their success in order to make a quick buck?  Absolutely.  Do I hold the responsibility to convince people like Frank B. that I’m the real deal?  No way.  People with integrity expect to be believed, and when they are not believed they let time, documentation and the testimony of others prove them right.

My Lord and Savior went through the same exact thing and still to this day there are doubters, haters and naysayers about Him, so I consider myself in good company.  He himself when accused of being a liar, didn’t say a word in response to the accusations.  When you know who you are and WHOSE you are, it really makes no difference what people say or think about you, and no response is necessary.

Save your energy for those who you were sent to help.

Embrace your doubters, haters and naysayers because like houseflies, they may be annoying, but they wouldn’t be here on earth if they didn’t serve a GOOD purpose.

I thank you Frank B. (and people like you) for being my road marker to let me know that more success is coming my way.

Affiliate Marketing Domination Tip – The EBay SuperNinja Trick (EXPOSED)

by The Stonecold Millionaire on December 28, 2011

EBAY…

Has EBay ever crossed your mind as a place where you could DOMINATE marketing your favorite affiliate program?

Probably not…

99% of affiliate marketers would NEVER think about EBay as a place to DOMINATE affiliate product sales, and even if they did they wouldn’t know how to do it.  But I do and I’m revealing it to you RIGHT NOW.

I’m here to tell you that EBay is a goldmine for that very reason.  Now, you can’t directly market an affiliate product or program on EBay according to their terms and conditions, but a Ninja affiliate marketer knows how to do it within the rules.

How?

Well, its simple. Lets say that your affiliate program has to do with a health and wellness product.  You can use some of your knowledge about the product and create a simple downloadable report called, “5 Steps To A Flat Stomach Without Surgery, Dieting, Pills, Or Exercise.”

On EBay, you could sell that report for $1-$2 dollars and have it downloaded 100′s of times, and throughout the report are the direct links to that actual affiliate product that you so eloquently wrap around your 5 steps program.

Within your report/ebook, your affiliate links will generate sales for many months later.  So in reality, you get paid TWICE. First for selling the book, then when they actually buy the product.

Do you see that?  Its thinking creatively like this that has pushed my affiliate commissions through the roof.

Here are the rest of my affiliate marketing dominance tips.  Click the image below.

 

 

 

I’ll see you on Thursday night, Dec. 29th @ 9pm EST for more great tips and advice on Affiliate Marketing Domination.

How To Creatively Use Affiliate Programs To Get New Reps For Your Business

by The Stonecold Millionaire on December 19, 2011

One of the coolest ways to generate traffic for anything you do to make money online, especially if you are operating a home-based business, is to use the leverage of an affiliate program.

Now, although you can earn a full-time income selling affiliate products, the focus today is using them as a “dangling carrot” for something else that you are building. In this article I’m going to lay out the way that I use them to attract new reps for my primary home-based business opportunity.

What is an affiliate program? In 50 words or less, its a system used by individuals or companies to build a sales force to help market their products or services and split the profits with you.

If you sign up for the Amazon.com affiliate program, they will pay you a commission on those individuals that you refer to their site. Its a great way for them to spread the word without a lot of advertising expense as well as build a list that they can continuously market to for future sales.

Let’s focus for a moment on the list building component of marketing affiliate products to lead in to what I want to tell you today.

You see, any time you send someone to a website and they submit their contact information to acquire (X) from that site, you just generated a targeted lead for that company.

Every company has a primary “presentation” or sales pitch that they will be positioning in front of the leads that you send the moment they hit the website. A percentage of those leads will act on the offer and thus a sale is made.

*THIS IS THE EXACT FORMULA YOU NEED TO USE TO GET PEOPLE IN FRONT OF YOUR OPPORTUNITY USING AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM.*

So let’s talk about how to do this for your home business. I place an ad of some sort in the marketplace for the affiliate program and a prospect clicks on the ad to learn more. They are presented with the giveaway item (i.e. download, free training, etc.) and are asked to submit their contact information in order to get it.

When they submit their information, they are placed on my auto-responder list and the VERY FIRST MESSAGE they get is my “welcome” or congratulations video. In my “welcome” video, I congratulate them on downloading (or purchasing) the item. I then position my video as the “how to get the most out of your (X) product.”

I cleverly blend the affiliate program’s benefits with a complete presentation about my primary opportunity! Its a seamless process because I don’t market affiliate programs that aren’t directly relevant to my primary home-based business opportunity so it creates amazing synergy. Plus, I’ve told them that the video is going to show them how to get the MOST out of their program.

Wouldn’t you want to get the MOST our of a program you purchased? Of course! So they are psychologically compelled to sit through my entire presentation. LOL.  Check out this example of how I do this.

So here’s what happens: if they are interested in my primary opportunity, they will act on it. If not, I will still receive a benefit since that individual buys the affiliate program that they were interested in originally, and I STILL GET TO MARKET MY PROGRAM TO THEM IN FUTURE MESSAGES!

This past weekend one of my marketing pieces yielded 29 leads. That’s 29 new presentations for my opportunity that were potentially seen that day! I say potentially because not everyone opens their email or follows through, but even if only 30% of them looked at my presentation that’s still almost 10 presentations on auto-pilot.

I can tell you that one of the marketers that I respect the most has recruited well over 500 people into his business using this method. It’s ridiculously effective and quite ingenious if you think about it.  If you haven’t seen my full affiliate marketing dominance training, click on the image below to access it now.

One of the biggest frustrations I’ve faced as a network marketer is getting leads to actually watch an entire online presentation.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve called a lead back, asked if they watched the video just to learn that they didn’t finish.  Can you relate to this?  In this article I’m going to share with you some of the reasons this happens and how to avoid the aggravation of dealing with this.

Now, there’s no presentation that’s going to get 100% of your leads to watch your presentation, but you can dramatically improve the number of leads that do in fact watch it in its entirety.  I believe there’s one type of presentation that gets the LOWEST conversion by far and you should avoid this type of presentation like the plague:

***THE CORPORATE PRESENTATION***

With few exceptions, sending someone over to your “canned company pitch” (which is how leads see this presentation) will get them to turn away faster than putting smelling salt underneath someone’s nose.  The reason is because most corporate presentations are not designed to invoke EMOTION out of your prospect, which is the single most important ingredient to any presentation.  So if you’ve been driving traffic to your company capture page with the company presentation and getting little or no results, now you know why.

If you want to have a presentation that absolutely rocks, you need to have POWER.  Check out this clip from one of my favorite movies, “Boiler Room.”  I want you to listen to the flow of how he presents to the prospects his opportunity.  Afterwards, I’ll help you dissect what it there and why I believe this is at the HEART of all highly converting presentations:

Here are the 5 dominant characteristics of ALL highly converting presentations, whether online or off.  See if you can pick each of these out in the video clip from above.

1.  Introduction/Attention-grabbing opening statement. This is the “shock and awe” moment that grabs the “throat” of your prospect.  You must create a “wow” reaction from your prospect very early and build on that.  You have to trigger a sense of intrigue, curiosity and anticipation for what’s to come.  It’s almost like a movie trailer; they take some of the best scenes from the movie and use those to excite you into coming to see the entire thing.  In like manner, you need to bring out the best elements of your business FIRST and then promise to deliver the details throughout the presentation.

2.  Identify/push on the pain. STORIES SELL, PERIOD.  You need to either tell your story or the story of someone that most of your audience can relate to.  Painting a picture of their suffering, being graphic, and getting them to identify with that pain is CRITICAL.  Did your prospect come to your presentation to find a solution to their problem, or to sit through a neat and tidy company overview of boring facts, figures, and bland compensation details?

3. The irresistible offer.  This is where the rubber meets the road.  You need to pile on benefits and make sure that they relate to the basic motivation of the prospect.  If you have a bonus to offer, this would be a great place to talk about it.

4. Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP). What truly separates you from others inside and outside your company?  Screen shots, letters, videos, testimonials, endorsements etc.  Flaunting your success and leadership qualities is appropriate here.  No different than presenting on your resume all the accolades you’ve built up with other employers.  We all love to work with successful people so don’t be shy about sharing the success of you, your team, or your team leader(s).

5. Call To Action. It’s not enough just to present your opportunity in a compelling way; ASK FOR THE BUSINESS!  Give clear and direction instructions on how to sign up NOW.  Be assumptive especially if you get the prospect on the phone after watching the presentation.  Your goal is to get the started, period.  The presentation is the main catalyst to making that happen. 

Here’s my version of this formula in action.

Here’s a couple of “extras” to keep in mind:

-Project confidence, control and leadership in your tone

-Be prepared; write out either all of the actual words or at least an outline so that your message is succinct

-Always assume that everyone will join (even though the won’t) and act accordingly

-Practice your presentation regularly and make improvements as you see fit

REMEMBER: there is no such thing as a perfect presentation; he who shows their presentation the MOST, not the BEST, wins.

If you are building a business that involves other people, and  most or all of your income depends on their efforts, then you need the right motivation to get them to take MASSIVE ACTION.

From my experience the best time to do that is when they first enroll. If you can successfully get your new people to MAKE MONEY in their first 30 days, you have just increased your chances of them staying long-term by more than 90%!
