The Net’s New Information Highway
For more years than I care
to admit, I have depended on either word-of-mouth, catchy ads or
Search Engine results to draw me into a new program. I have stopped
reading Testimonials altogether because his or her success (real or
embellished) is no guarantee of my own – and that’s just common
sense.
I’m all about residual or
leveraged income anyway and the only road for me. I no longer agree
to sell someone’s product for twenty bucks and do it over again
tomorrow and the next day. For the same amount of effort, I can get
a leveraged program up and running with whatever is asked of me to
qualify for on-going income with no further attention on my part.
This is the only way to go. And once initiated and running on auto
pilot, I look for a new money-stream.
The Internet changes faster
than the speed of thought, and so must our searches and marketing
strategies. Yesterday’s “landing pages” are today’s “splash pages”.
Yesterday we heard about a great opportunity from an Ezine ad or a
Free Report… today we have new sources: Forums and Blogs.
Advertising and promotional
posts are not allowed in most Forums. There are special
Forums for posting your Bizop, but I don’t think anyone reads these
any more than antiquated FFA pages. But questions and answers do
not violate this rule. So I look up Forums whose members are working
from home or wish they were, and tune in on what they call “Hot
Topics”. I choose three or four Forums and put the websites in my
favorites so I can tune in daily and sort of eavesdrop on the hot
topics.
Often it goes like this:
Act3 is asking if anyone has heard about XYZ program; good or bad.
Gemeni responds because he is a member of that program. Then others
begin to ask about it. They want to know if Gemeni has been paid
yet? How long did it take to return his investment? Gemeni responds
with replies giving factual data. BigSpender posts her reply by
saying she joined under Gemeni and I begin to read her positive
comments also. Act3 joined during my second week of eavesdropping on
all of this, and the three of them formed a winning team.
I have given you a short
version, but enough to realize that this is a perfect avenue to find
a new and promising program. Take what this Forum has offered and
check out Scambusters and all other due diligence that you would do
for any new opportunity. With everything on go – join and begin to
spread the word the same way you heard about it.
When you join Forums, you
choose a “username” and post your sentence or two without making it
appear like a blatant ad. However, they DO allow you to put your
URL at the close of your post.
Go to a Forum that has a
“thread” for members who are interested in working from home.
Start asking if anyone knows something about XYZ company, good or
bad. Wait a day or two to see if anyone posts a reply. If nothing
negative comes back, or no one has heard of XYZ, then you might post
a new thread giving some of the details you have acquired “from
other Forums”. It might go something like this:
Hi everybody
– bigbill here – in my last post I asked if anyone could tell me
about XYZ company and since I didn’t get any replies, I went to
another Forum and posted the same question. I had several people
tell me that XYZ’s cyclic target referral system has broken all the
conservative boundaries of any other system. Can this be
true?

Notice I did include my URL,
and I tried hard not to make my post sound like an advertisement or
it would have been deleted by the moderator. Now, let’s look at
blogging. Got a website? Got a product? Got a blog?
Yes, Blog your program daily
with a free blog that is RSS fed. There are no rules here. Set up a
blog; set up two - or three and each day type a few paragraphs that
show the benefits of your program. Be sure to RSS it and you will
have no trouble getting new participants to look over your program.
Play nice.
