Are You Involved With A Company Who Expects You To Find Customers; Or, One That Finds Customers For You?

Hello,

You may have heard of this opportunity through some other blog posts as you surf the internet from time to time.

I ability to join up with a health and wellness company who delivers premium products which have been endorsed by top athletes in the past to improve their well being and be on top of their game giving it 110% all the time.

The health and wellness industry is growing at an alarming rate which means massive amounts of customers are purchasing supplements to help achieve a better standard of living. In doing so, there tends to be a very large supply of customers all the time.

This is great for the independent business owners who have a rare opportunity to participate in a co-op media advertising campaign through radio, T.V, and newspaper ads. When a business owner purchases a media bundle through the co-op, the company will place a certain amount of guaranteed customers for LIFE in that business owners organization.

The best part is there is no limit to the amount of media bundles a person can purchase at a time. So, if a person has enough capital to invest, they can launch their business straight to the Director level immediately after becoming an affiliate with the company.

As you read the testimonials of people who have invested to reach that director level, many will say that they have made their initial investment back within a few months. Of course the smart thing to do would be to reinvest the money again to double the amount of customers.

The customers begin to find real value within the products because they work! This builds excitement to the point where a lot of customers will choose to be part of the business as well.

Folks, this is truly a win, win situation. I have sat around for years playing around with all different types of network marketing companies who did not help me build a business. This opportunity is very different.

When I start to think about all the money I have invested in garbage leads and bad advertising, I wonder just where my business would be if I had found this opportunity sooner.

If you are going to buy and type of advertising; then,  Buy Customers NOT Leads!

Is Inflammation Holding You Back?

Did you know that inflammation is the major cause of all serious illness and diseases? This mainly is a problem for individuals who are middle to old age. Inflammation can start at any age depending on the circumstances.

Many times people who suffer from inflammation will go see a doctor who will prescribe them a certain anti-inflammatory medicine. The problem with these synthetic medications are the harsh side effects a person may go through; which in some cases can make the situation worse, not better.  I know of two types of medication which seem to be the big ones for inflammation.

The first medication is Cataflam (Diclofenac Pot)- This is an anti-inflammatory medication and probably the most commonly prescribed. However, let’s take a look at the side effects of Cataflam.

The following content has been referenced by rxlist dot com

“CARDIOVASCULAR RISK

    NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may increase with duration of use. Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk. (See WARNINGS.)
    Cataflam® (diclofenac potassium immediate-release tablets) is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (see WARNINGS).

GASTROINTESTINAL RISK

    NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including inflammation, bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal events. (See WARNINGS.)

Cataflam in Detail – Patient Information: Side Effects

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Stop using diclofenac and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:

    chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
    black, bloody, or tarry stools;
    coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;
    swelling or rapid weight gain, urinating less than usual or not at all;
    nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
    bruising, severe tingling, numbness, pain, muscle weakness;
    neck stiffness, chills, increased sensitivity to light, purple spots on the skin, and/or seizure (convulsions); or
    severe skin reaction — fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.

Less serious side effects may include:

    upset stomach, mild heartburn or stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation bloating, gas;
    dizziness, headache, nervousness;
    skin itching or rash;
    blurred vision; or
    ringing in your ears.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Cataflam Overview – Patient Information: Side Effects
SIDE EFFECTS: See also Warning section.

Upset stomach, nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, gas, headache, drowsiness, and dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: swelling of the hands or feet (edema), sudden or unexplained weight gain, hearing changes (such as ringing in the ears), mental/mood changes, difficult/painful swallowing, unusual tiredness.

Get medical help right away if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: change in the amount of urine, unexplained stiff neck.

This drug may rarely cause serious (possibly fatal) liver disease. Get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of liver damage, including: dark urine, persistent nausea/vomiting/loss of appetite, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes or skin.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Cataflam FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
SIDE EFFECTS

In 718 patients treated for shorter periods, i.e., 2 weeks or less, with Cataflam® (diclofenac potassium immediate-release tablets), adverse reactions were reported one-half to one-tenth as frequently as by patients treated for longer periods. In a 6-month, double-blind trial comparing Cataflam (diclofenac potassium immediate-release tablets) (N=196) versus Voltaren® (diclofenac sodium delayed-release tablets) (N=197) versus ibuprofen (N=197), adverse reactions were similar in nature and frequency.

In patients taking Cataflam (diclofenac potassium immediate-release tablets) or other NSAIDs, the most frequently reported adverse experiences occurring in approximately 1%-10% of patients are:

Gastrointestinal experiences including: abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, dyspepsia, flatulence, gross bleeding/perforation, heartburn, nausea, GI ulcers (gastric/duodenal) and vomiting.”

This excerpt above indicates some pretty serious situations that can happen for individuals on this medication. Now normally I would not copy this much content. But, for this purpose I think it is appropriate for people who suffer from inflammation to see and consider when looking for alternative methods for battling inflammation.

The other anti-inflammatory medication which is commonly prescribed is Naproxen. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.

Here is just a couple side effects associated with Naproxen:

“What are the possible side effects of naproxen?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Stop taking naproxen and seek medical attention or call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

    chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
    black, bloody, or tarry stools;
    coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;
    swelling or rapid weight gain”

I think this sums it up. The point I am making here is there are other options to fight inflammation without a prescription. Just by choosing certain foods to eat and the way we treat our bodies plays a major role in how are body responds to inflammation.

Using Forums To Promote Your Business

Have you ever sat down at your computer in your home office planning on putting a bunch of good content out all over the internet and forgot what or how you were going to do such a thing?

Well, I must say this happens to me all the time. Sometimes I even feel like a newcomer out here in this border-less land of the internet working hard to build and solid team of people who all promote great services to those in need.

Today, I wanted to take a moment to talk about what it is that I have been struggling with a bit. We all tend to do this when writing bogs, posting comments to blogs or forums. Even when we are ready to to start that new thread on a very large and popular forum. Just about all forums will shut your account down if you dare even sound like you are pitching a deal or soliciting in any way. So how can we as professional marketers get around this to promote our business?

We all need customers……am I right?

Here is my solution. Many expert marketers will tell you to just engage with people and leave the product and your business out of the equation. I believe this to be true and you can test it in every post or blog you write. Talk as if you are sitting next to someone on a plane. Let the words just spill out of your head staying engaged with the main topic. When we start to do this, people become interested in who you are as a person and not the guy who keeps posting that Xango link everywhere trying really hard to get someone to buy the product. This folks, just does not work!

Here is a special tip that I have picked up on. If you are on a forum, and you can’t think of any good post to add to a thread that has to do with that particular topic…..GET OFF THAT THREAD! There is no reason to be pretending to know something there. After all, you build yourself a reputation as either a professional or a potential drive-by spammer. I have been closely testing this method. It seems as though more people will be responsive to posts and blogs for which they can relate to. This blog post here has the ability to keep people reading….

Are you still with me? See…you are!

So, moving onward. I find Forums to be a challenging yet very rewarding place to find new business partners and customers. All depends on the mindset. When we engage as true people then others will be more responsive to what we are saying.

I certainly admit to planting numerous amounts of spam ads pitching my business to thousands of sites over the past 6 years. You want to know what the results were from doing so? ZERO BUSINESS.

Now as I move forward, all my posts will be genuine as should everyone else’s. However, people are people and some will learn this the hard way. My experience tell me to do the opposite of what my mind thinks I should do. Can anyone relate here?

This is my challenge and experiment….Let it start now!

Buy Customers NOT Leads!

For Immediate Release: 
There are many reasons why people decide to work from home. I would like to take a moment to ask all readers what their purpose is for working from home? What is your motivation and why do you do what you do everyday? 
Now here is my feeling on why having a home business and being involved with network marketing is  really one of the only solutions in todays economy. I believe that the general consensus of the population would probably agree with the feeling that if the economy keeps going the way it is going the middle class is going to disappear. Now if there is no more middle class, then people will either fit in one of two categories; wealthy or poor. My thoughts are leaning towards wealthy. 
How do we achieve wealth? This is a simple and very overlooked answer…By helping others achieve their goals and building relationships. There is no other way as I have tried them all. The business model which I am about to present here allows for the average person to achieve immediate success by investing capital. In other words, Your money goes to buy customers for LIFE in your organization and can put you at the Director level immediately creating an instant income of $1000-2000 extra a month in your pocket. 
The key is to follow up with all customers and offer support and guidance about the products for which they purchase on a monthly basis. This way of spending money is a guaranteed way to see a return for the money invested. The company is a member of the Better Business Bureau and has just recently merged into business with the Amazon Herb Company. 
I highly recommend for everyone to visit my site and watch the presentation to see the difference of the customer model vs. the recruiting model. There is solid stability here and state of the art tools to build a huge business in one of the largest health and wellness companies in the US. Follow the link to view the presentation. For me, I have security knowing that the money I spend on my business is giving me guaranteed customers for LIFE! 
 

Fund Account. Buy Customers NOT Leads!

 
 TriVita Inc. (Scottdale, AZ), has released a new way for business builders to be able to buy into the co-op advertising through the company. This new method is known as the Co-Op Pre-Fund account. This allows for business builders to save money/commissions in a separate account which is used to purchase co-op shares in the dash to director program. Although, this is just the co-op since the Dash to Director requires a purchase of 42 co-op shares to reach the Director level.

The Co-Op Pre-Fund is a good way for new business builders to start off saving with out requiring large one time purchases. This money then goes into the massive corporate advertising through radio, T.V and other media to get customers for life for the individual.

So, what is the difference between Dash to Director and regular co-op advertising? Dash to Director can be considered a type of franchise opportunity giving people a way into building a solid business with the foundation already in place at the Director level with the company. The co-op by itself is a way to purchase much smaller shares little at a time for the business.

In the past, these were the only two options which were available with the TriVita business opportunity until now. The Co-Op Pre-Fund is a way to save a little at a time until ready for that big customer share purchase. The marketing tools and support with the company are the best in the industry.

TriVita is a large, stable, debt free, company who has been around for 12 years and are members of the Better Business Bureau. As of August 31, 2012, TriVita CEO, Michael Ellison just announced that the company has just merged into business with the Amazon Herb Company. This is an exciting time to get involved with what is known as the best kept secret in Network Marketing.

Home Business Mindset

Home Business Mindset

The effort it takes for many people to build a secure home business can be overwhelming at times. As most of us know already, we tend to want instant or quick results when it comes to making money in any form. Unfortunately, building a business take hard work.

I have been at this process for over 2 years straight now and I am just starting to see generated residual income every month. Now that I see that income, it is time to begin building on it and making it grow each and every month on an ongoing basis. This is a constant uphill battle which takes patience and dedication. Nothing in this world comes quickly. If it does, then you are sure to lose it.

This mindset is one of the greatest lessions I have learned by using the Veretekk marketing system. Veretekk is all about growth and development. Most people who do not succeed with this system are not using it. They tend to upgrade to a gold account and gain full access to its raw power and then forget what their purpose and/or strategy is for marketing online.

All the tools needed to reach maximum success on the internet are found in the Veretekk back office. There is no need to go anywhere to do this. The main reason I feel people get all tripped up when they join is do to the overwhelming amount of information and tools within the back office.

So, let me simplify this for everyone:

The back office is divided into 7 sections across the top of the page.

Dashboard | Portals | Communication | Hosting | Resources | Market Manager | Support

These 7 sections are all self explanatory in what they do.

Dashboard- This is the social networking for business feature (play with it).

Portals- Portals are all the fully customizable lead generating capture pages to generate premium leads into your V2 system. Once configured, this is very powerful and almost works on its own. My advise would be to promote these portals through articles, forums and link exchanges.

Communication- Contains any and everything you need to communicate with other people. Blogs.RSS Feeds, Autoresponders, custom emails, system lead uploads, lead management, mass email publish to all leads, create and edit groups, your own voIP web conference room, etc. Hence- communication

Hosting- Very own professional green hosting at no extra charge. This system runs on natural energy.

Resources- Training videos and other archives created by professional marketers who know what works. This includes PDF’s and self-replicating Ebooks.

Market Manager- High powered SEO tools to access multiple V2 gold accounts from one location and create large scale campaigns designed to dominate the search engines. There is nothing more powerful online than this feature.

Support- 24 hour live support when you need it. whether it is from other V2 members or the corporate staff, you are not alone here. V2 responds quickly to other members.

This is a very brief and quick overview how how veretekk works. What we all need when using this system is the ability to understand it’s raw power. Notice I say “raw”. this implies that you as a subscriber must do the work and use the tools properly to experience to power of marketing here.

I have noticed over the years that many people who come into veretekk upgrade to a gold system for $54.95 a month, never attend any of the live trainings and learn how to use it, then they wind up complaining that it does not work. Veretekk does not work unless we work it.

Here is what I do to make Veretekk work. My goal in this process is to generate premium leads for my opportunity. These are my steps. Configure your gold system(there are plenty of trainings on this), After the system is configured, create a simple capture page using Veretekk form code. This is noweven easier withthe new VereCapture prebuilt capture pages which are fully customizable. If you are more advanced with HTML then I suggest building your own capture page from scratch. The point here is to create a “call to action” which will entice people to enter their information. Keep the content short and sweet. An emotionally grabbing video is also a plus. You can see my capture page here which I use to build my own home based business. This site will give a solid idea of how to create a good capture page and the content needed. Nnow don;t go and steal my page. Use your brain on this one and create your own page with your own content. There is nothing worse then stealing others thoughts and ideas (also known as plagerism).

Once a solid capture page has been created, leads will start pouring in slowly. But hey, in the beginning if you get a 2-3, then it is working. So, now comes the next part of using Veretekk to get this site seen. This is the heart of what Veretekk is all about. Write articles like this one and get a firm grasp of SEO. Search engine optimization is critical and must be down with the right keywords. After a thorough research is done for what the best keywords are (my recommendations for keyword research; Wordtracker, Market Samurai and/or Google Adwords), start pointing your website to those keywords in the title/meta tags and backlinks. Backlinks can be created multiple ways in Veretekk. These backlinks are for the search engine robots also known as spiders to index your site to where you would like it to go. Veretekk has a ton of tools in the back office to create 1000′s of high quality backlinks faster than anyone else in the industry. SEO is a constant uphill battle since t here is constant comptetition for page 1 placement on Google.

The next couple of stages are for my online webinars through Veretekk which most people can attend even if you are not a Veretekk subscriber. So, How does mindset set into all this. Like I stated before, most people give up before they even start. you have to go after V2 like a champion. When knocked down, get back up, this is no easy road or way to success. I have been with Veretekk for almost a decade and I can say, I have been kicked down to the ground many times. Those times were learning curves for me I kept getting after it never quitting even when I wanted to. But, then if I quit, where am I? Go after your dreams and never quit.
