Residual Income

This is Marilyn again, writing from right outside Lubbock,Texas, hoping you are having a prosperous week in your business.

Here's the Bottom Line...the real reason entrepreneurs, like you and me, work at home is to create our own business that will earn a passive, residual income. It does not matter what the product, service or opportunity may be.
We do not want to slave all our lives in someone else's business for their passive income. We don't want to just be self-employed and then unemployed right after we sell something.

Passive Residual Income is possible for almost anyone working on the internet these days. Unfortunately, however, it is probable for only a small percentage of people.
Why? Because you need to build your residual income business the professional way and that takes focus, time and disiplined effort.
Most people are led astray by charlotans and get rich quick deals and quickly become misguided, dejected unprofessionals. Why don't you try it the professional way and watch what happens?

Once you, as a professional, locate the residual income opportunity that is right for you, you must then learn SEOSEM and lead generation.You will then be well on your way to the passive residual income you desire.
One sure way to learn SEOSEM the professional way is through Veretekk and our live web conference trainings.

After you have accomplished the mission of finding the business venture that is right for you, then you must do the necessary work. You must study the business, train to use the system, and be prepared to spend time creating, building and developing your business.
There is no way around this on the internet or in real life.

Your dream of a profitable passive residual income business will not only be possible, it will become highly probable.

Once you have located and decided on a particular work at home business, and have made a commitment, it's then critically important to be self-disciplined in working your business.
In the really good home business companies, there are lots of support members and mentors to help you "do the work".

People searching and surfing for the pot-of-gold and living the life they choose without the hindrance of a boss, but without the work, are desparately searching for something that simply does not exist.

To earn residual income , you must FIRST setup, and build an income producing ASSET. There are a lot of ways to do this. Those of us who work at home in network marketing, do this through a sphere of influence and relationship marketing. It is something anyone can do. Not everyone will do it, but anyone can.
By the way, the "work" is fun, it IS worth it and Veretekk can teach you how to do it professionally.

When approached correctly, intelligently, and diligently, building your business will be the most fun that you have ever had in your life.
You will learn a lot, make many new friends and earn good money. Most importantly, you will create an income producing asset that will generate monthly residual income for you that will last a lifetime. Residual income business opportunities are best approached with a strong sense of purpose, a light-hearted soul and a heavy-handed work ethic to become prosperous.

Best wishes in your quest to EARN RESIDUAL INCOME and WORK AT HOME!

Newsletter- Update on It's Good Business

1) It's Good Business Update

Again this week a quick update on my ItsGoodBusiness effort.

If you would like a quick overview, go to http://itsgoodbusiness.net
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well another week has gone by and our team is breaking even more records with our parent company. This business model is so solid and works so well that other industries are now starting to take notice.

Many of our team members have progressed quickly through the various compensation levels of our parent company, due to the ongoing efforts of the entire team. I have started pulling in some commissions.. It is such a refreshing change to not have to worry about converting leads into customers (we buy customers) and to only have to talk to people who are keen and excited to build a business. This is exciting! Not bad for just 30 days!

2) Using Guaranteed Signups to Build Your Business

Have you ever come across these ads promoting a "Guaranteed Signup' service? For parting with your money, you are guaranteed to have people sign up into your downline, no matter what business opportunity or MLM company you are promoting.

It all sounds good, but think about it for a second: how can anyone guarantee what another person will do? Sure, you may get people signed up in your downline, but will they do anything once they do sign up? Probably not, and here's why:

There are two basic ways in which these companies work:

1) They hire people and pay them 10 to 15 cents per signup. These 'signups' have no interest in doing anything more than entering their contact details into a signup form. These are not people who have any interest building a business.They probably do not have the financial resources either. They will simply sign up in your downline, trash all your emails, and forget about you.

One company I came across was offering 100 guaranteed signups for $80.00. If they are paying these signups at 10 cents per lead, that's a profit margin of about 85% or better on your order. No wonder there are so many of these guaranteed signups services out there!

The same company indicated that their guaranteed signups would be at least 90 days old or older by the time you got them. By that time they would have forgotten what they signed up for. Do you think these are people you will be able to do business with? I don't think so!

2) Other services will provide 'surveyed signups'.

These are people who have been given some incentive other than money to sign up, usually through some lead generation website where they have been asked some general questions and have been told they will be contacted by the business owner. You may get a few gems in this crowd, but its the same problem you run into when you purchase leads: 99% of them have no real interest, have forgotten they signed up, or are tired of hearing deals pitched at them. The result: lots of frustration for you and no real increase in your business.

Personally, I never have used one of these services. It all seemed like a scam to me.

I don't buy leads. I don't buy guaranteed signups. I buy customers.

Customers who purchase products on a regular basis. Customers who provide me with a stable and growing source of income while I concentrate on prospecting correctly for other serious business builders as part of a powerful prospecting team.

I don't waste my time cold calling, buying worthless leads, and certainly not on guaranteed signups.

Stop wasting your time and money on worthless guaranteed signups!

Learning All the Time

Before you can hope to be successful in any business, you have to
understand that business and know how to peak the interest of your
potential customers. Whether you are offering a product or a
service, people have to understand what it is, why they need it and
why they should get it from you.

Online marketing has changed the way people do business and unless
you can embrace the knowledge needed to meet these changes, your
success will be limited to those customers willing to deal with you.
Internet marketing takes a completely
different approach. People who conduct business online,
search for companies with which to do business online. You need
to be found before they can do business with you.

To be able to be found on the internet requires one to have a basic
knowledge of SEO. Google has some great training pages inside their site that
gives one a basic foundation from which to work . It is always useful to have
a few great tools also. One of the best I have found to date is Leadsomatic.
It is a tool found within the Veretekk system. It can also be used without
purchasing the whole system. Butch Hamilton, Master SEO specialist,
has produced a simple, informative instruction video that teaches you
how to use this tool effectively. Watch it and be amazed at it's power.

Seo is an art form in my opinion, and this is just one more powerful
tool in your arsenal to help you achieve higher rankings with your site.

Premium Leads for Your Online Business

A study of the keyword leads will lead to some insight into building a successful online business. Most people consider leads as something that has to be bought. The more expensive the lead, obviously, one would think the more chance of success that you will have in your online business. This is not necessarily true. The leads brokerage game is risky at best, as most people who fill out a lead capture page on the net, really do not even realize what they have done. Calling this type of lead is most often met with a certain distain. Hence the buying of leads needs to be closely scrutinized to be sure that people are interested in a particular product or service.

I like to consider a lead as some friend that I have not yet met. That person can be actually looking for some online project and perhaps they are interested in taking a look at what I am doing in my online business. It has been experience online that most people are very interesting to talk with and share views about this amazing process called internet marketing. I have also found that calling people ia actually a lot of fun. Most people are willing to be approached if you use the right techniques and strategies.

I do not believe in trying to sell that premium lead anything. If you are trying to sell something, and you consider your marketing plan as nothing more than a numbers game, you will be disappointed in your results. The bottom line in marketing is that relationship building takes precedence over selling. In using the techniques found in relationship marketing, you form a bond with the person over a period of time. You share ideas and thoughts about particular products and services online. Quite possibly, at some point in time, that person will want to know exactly what you are doing to achieve online success. Then, the path is clear on exactly how to approach the person with the opportunity you have with your online businesses. I love making new friends online, and building a relationship is paramount to building a lasting team.

Is that Guy a Friend or a Lead

In my years of doing marketing, I just hated approaching friends and family. They always thought you were a bit odd for thinking you could achieve any success, and what do you mean by trying to sell me soap...vitamins...or whatever my venture was at the time. Looking back on it all, I guess I did seem a bit odd, but I learned I quickly ran out of friends and family, and I needed to get myself in front of more people. As time progressed, the internet came along and we now build ourselves online businesses, but we still have the same problem of getting ourselves in front of more people. Some things change, and some things stay the same.

It has been my experience that basic problems never change, and we must overcome this one of getting ourselves and our product in front of people who are interested. I overcome this problem with my Veretekk lead generation system. I just happen to think it's the greatest thing since kool-aide. I have been working with this system for almost two years now and it never fails to amaze me at what it can do. Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling have worked for ten years just putting it all together, and it's like a living thing. As the market needs change, so does this system, and it just gets more powerful, and more powerful. I could write a whole post on the glories of Veretekk, but this one is on overcoming the problems of getting yourself in front of folks who want to hear what you have to say.

Have you ever had a salesman call you and immediately have them go into their sales pitch? How did it make you feel? As much as I love to talk, and as much as I love sales, I just hang up on them, or tell them I'm not interested. It's because they don't give a hoot about me, they just want to sell me something. Don't you think your premium leads, or those old worthless bought leads, feel the same way, if you just call them up, and immediately try to tell them about your wonderful program that will make them millionaires by next month. I think I have discovered a better way. Even with those old worthless, worn out leads that you paid good cash for,this will work better. It's called relationship marketing. It takes a little longer,but most good things do, but it will be so much more rewarding. Change your mind set!! This is not about selling something, it's about developing a relationship with those people you contact. If you can stop selling and start listening, and be interested in that lead as a person who is trying to accomplish the same thing you are, you will begin to hear they are having problems, and you may have the answer to help them.

Don't sell them, solve their problem for them. You know what? They are not going to listen to a thing you say until they get to know you! So, get to know them. When you make the first few calls to them, be interested in what they are doing and develope at least a working relationship. Find out what brought them into online marketing. How successful have they been?(Get ready for the lies) What kinds of problems have they overcome? What kinds of problems are they having at the moment? Let them tell you about their program and how it's working for them. This is called relationship marketing,because as you get to know this person, and they get to know you, you might be able to offer some solutions to their problem, and you can tell them about what you do. Isn't that easier than being hung up on?
