What has your sponsor done for you?

I was at a Google hangout last night and one of my colleagues said something that really hit home.  She said she had issues letting go of feeling responsible for the failure of her referrals.  I could really identify with that but did not realize until she said it that I was having the same guilt issues when someone I referred didn't see any success even though I helped them as much as I could. I know that you cannot change someone's mindset as they must do that on their own.  Giving them a hand up and giving them a handout are two very different things.  Should I steer them in the right direction, of course.  Should I drive the car for them, no definitely not.

I also realized that because I wanted other people to succeed so badly I gave up much of my time that could have been used in much more productive ways.  Will I stop helping people?  No, that is not my nature.  Will I step back a bit and let them develop their own game plan and mindset?  You bet!

New programs offer cheap advertising

There are  million new launches at any given time but be on the lookout for those that are free or inexpensive to join because may of them offer decent advertising for a low price.  Forget the promises they make and concentrate on the product - the advertising.

If you are an online marketer you need as much advertising as you can afford.  A solo ad pointing to your capture page is key to building your list and earning online.

Here is a great example offering targeted email traffic at great prices - this one is still in lauch as far as their commission program (promising the world) but the advertising is available right now so please check it out.  Great prices on targeted email.

Can you handle the truth?

Sometimes we aren't necessarily told what we want to hear.  This is especially true when it come to listening to your network marketing mentor.  If they are trying to help you than you should listen.  You might not like what they say, you might think you know better, you might feel that you will lose your individualism if you follow them, but guess what?  If you don't listen you will not see the same success that they are seeing.  So swallow your pride, forget your ego, and take advise from someone who knows what they are doing!  If you have followed me into Karatbars then by all means join the Protection Through Gold Team.  Contact me and I will give you the link to sign up once you have purchased a package. 

Where should you advertise?

This is probably the hardest thing to figure out. If money is no object there are plenty of high priced places to advertise with. If your pockets aren't that full there are some mid priced places that give good results. I will be adding links and results here as they become available. The first one I will be reviewing is rent-a-list.com. They often run specials and if you join they will email you when they are having a sale. Right now they are having a great sale so click on the link below and get more info.

Sometimes it's good to trick yourself

Need some motivation?

Remember that the direct marketing industry is booming.  People are desperate to replace or add to their current income but you need to take action.

Trick yourself by creating your own peer pressure.  Get on Facebook and announce to the world that you will reach a certain goal in a certain length of time.  You will be more motivated to reach that goal.

Have fun and be proud of what you do!
