Jay Kubassek’s Simple Secret To Success in Network Marketing
I just came across this video from a great friend and hugely successful network marketer that I want to share with you.
Jay Kubassek is the CEO of the company I chose for my primary income source on the Internet, but his wise words apply to all network marketers in any opportunity.
Truer words have never been spoken. It’s a problem we all face daily and one that needs to be overcome if you want to be successful.
Enjoy folks.
Have a great and productive day!

30 Tips in 30 Days: Day 7 — Do This One Thing and Your Chances of Making Significant Money Triples
If you may remember, back on Day 3 of our 30 Tips on 30 Days Series, I talked about the importance of training and allocating a significant part of your initial marketing budget to laying your marketing foundation with education.
You see, you can buy leads, but once they’re gone, they’re gone. But once you learn HOW TO MARKET, you can easily generate an unlimited number of leads…. sometimes free or at very low cost.
But today, I want you to consider something that you may not have thought important:
ATTENDING YOUR COMPANY’S LIVE EVENT
Statistics have shown that people who attend their company’s live events, especially within the first 6 months of joining the opportunity, almost triple their chance at being successful.
Bob and Rosemary Clarke with our friend Jay Kubassek, CEO of Carbon Copy PRO
It may seem weird that the simple act of attending a conference or live event will have such an effect. It was not until we attended our first live event with our current company that we discovered why it’s so important.
Let’s take a closer look….
Here are some of the advantages of attending a LIVE EVENT:
- You get to meet the leaders of your company, the people who started the company and run it on a day-to-day basis. You get an idea of their vision.
- You come to really understand the value of the products you are marketing, by seeing how they have positively affected the lives of others. Most people who market products use them routinely and can have some terrific testimonials.
- You get to see people who are making REAL money in your business. This no longer is a hypothetical possibility of making money… now you see it first hand. You can talk to these people and find out what THEY did to get to where they are today.
- You can meet people who work in the offices of your company, like customer service reps. These are the people in the trenches every day, and it is strategically very advantageous to befriend one or more of these key people. When you have an issue with your back office, need a product returned, have problems with a customer’s order, now you have someone REAL to turn to.
- You can network with others who are just starting out, get their contact information, and provide support for each other as you struggle to make a name for yourself. Some of my best marketing ideas were borne out of conversations I had in just such circumstances.
- You can LEARN new marketing strategies. I am lucky enough to have joined a company that holds an actual Live Marketing Event twice a year where they teach the latest and hottest marketing techniques. If your company provides such training at their live events, take advantage of it.
So lets get in to the nitty gritty….
6 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Live Event:
- Dress professionally. Business casual is the norm, so there’s no need to dress in suits, but don’t look sloppy! You are beginning to project your image, so look the part!
- Be a sponge! Listen to everything and take a lot of notes.
- Don’t be a wallflower! Even if you are an introvert like me, FORCE YOURSELF to be bold. Introduce yourself as a new member of the company, and more than likely you will get a very warm reception. If you find yourself at a lunch or dinner table knowing nobody, take advantage of it and meet EVERYONE at your table.
- Get business cards prior to the event so you can give them out to people you meet at the Conference. The purpose? People will now have your contact information, and you can ask for theirs in return. Ask them if it’s okay if you call them with questions. Most will readily agree.
- Watch for special discounts. Many companies offer special deals or discounts on such things as trainings, stepping up to the next compensation level, and products. Be willing to consider any that interest you. Rosemary and I have used several of these discount deals at our Live Events to get specialized training that would otherwise be cost prohibitive.
- Bring your camera!
Why bring your camera?

Well, you need to start building your credibility with your prospects, right? When you are first getting started or don’t yet have a lot of success, you might feel like you don’t have any credibility.
So you have to BORROW some!
When my wife Rosemary and I were just starting out, we went to our company’s live event and took pictures with every leader we could find. These were people who were making REAL MONEY. These were people who had made a name for themselves.
Why would we do this?
First take a look at the pictures throughout this blog post. What do you see?
You see Rosemary and I with some very influential and successful people in our primary business and throughout the Network Marketing industry.
You get the picture. IT IS CREDIBILITY THROUGH ASSOCIATION.
People look at these pictures, and say….
“Hey, look who Bob and Rosemary know! They must be in the “inner circle” to have such friends.”
Whether you are just starting out or have been in the industry for years, pictures at live events give you INSTANT CREDIBILITY in the eyes of your prospects.
Bob and Rosemary with Mr. Andrew Cass, top earner and Exec VP of Wealth Masters International
Put them on your blog, your web page, or anywhere else to build your credibility over night.
Take home lesson for today?
GET TO A LIVE EVENT! Do whatever it takes, but if you’re serious at making it in network marketing, get there. I’ve never talked with anyone who later regretted it.
To your happiness,
Bob
August 7, 2008; Cresskill, NJ30 Tips in 30 Days: Day 3 — When It Comes To Your Marketing Dollars, Spend Wisely
This is Day 3 of our 30 Tips in 30 Days Free Marketing Tips Series. Yesterday we talked about identifying your prospects. Today, we switch gears and talk about MONEY.
How you spend your marketing budget each month will go a long way in determining your success in the MLM/direct sales industry. And how you allocate your dollars when you are just starting out will be vastly different from how you spend your marketing dollars as become more experienced.
One of the most common and, I believe, most costly mistakes that newbies make in this industry is in how they spend their early marketing dollars.
After all, we want to make money, right? :-)
Most new network marketers get flack from their friends and family members about starting a home business, and the natural tendency is to want to prove them WRONG — as soon as possible!
So, the majority of people just starting out in network marketing make a BIG MISTAKE when it comes to allocating their marketing budget. What mistake am I talking about?
They BUY LEADS.
Now I am not totally against buying leads in the right circumstances. But now when starting out. Here’s the problem.
When they are new to the industry, most people have NO IDEA how to actually talk to a prospect. They don’t know what to say, how to say it, and how to avoid sounding like they are begging for a sale.
The result: People RUN from you.
They RUN and they HIDE. You start calling and leaving messages, people don’t show up for followup appointments. You call some more, and then frustration and doubt sets in. You seriously begin doubting your decision to join in the first place.
It is the first step in the cascading process that ends in network marketing failure.
But you need to have leads, right? You need to talk to people if you are going to make money. In the long run, absolutely. In the short term — NO!
It sounds paradoxical, but I believe the worst thing that can happen to a network marketing newbie is to have leads before they are ready.
So how do you get ready?
EDUCATION, my friends… and TRAINING.
Rosemary and I are both huge believers in EDUCATION.
It is the key to being successful in anything.
Just think about it. You wouldn’t try to be a doctor without going to medical school.
You wouldn’t try to fix cars without some kind of training first (well, some would, but that’s another story).
So what makes people think that sales and marketing is any different. If you have never had any training in these areas, you need to get some.
BEFORE you open your mouth to your prospects.
I know some people will disagree with this, but I truly believe that this is one of the major contributing factors to the very large drop off rate in this industry.
It’s fairly easy to start a home-based business. It’s not so easy to be successful.
The BOTTOM LINE!
How would I spend my initial marketing budget if I was just getting started in Network Marketing (and had no previous training)?
Lets say I had $1000 as an initial budget. Here is how I would spend it:
- $800 Marketing Education and Training
- $200 Start up Costs for Home Office, Supplies, and miscellaneous expenses
Notice I did not say ANYTHING about leads or prospects.
That’s because, if you have no prior sales or marketing experience, you’re not ready for them.
What kind of education would I suggest?
Check back tomorrow for Day 4 of the 30 Tips in 30 Days Holiday Special.
To your happiness! (because it’s the only thing that matters!),

30 Tips in 30 Days: Day 2 — Just Who Are Your Prospects?
IF YOU MISSED ANY OF THE PREVIOUS TIPS IN THIS SERIES, Go to the Business and Marketing Tips Category on the right side of the blog.
Hi again, everyone. Yesterday we discussed how to go about setting up your new home based business. So now you’re all set to go prospecting!
But who exactly ARE your prospects?
When I joined my first network marketing company a number of years ago, I was taught that…
EVERYONE WAS A PROSPECT. Anyone within a 3-foot radius was fair game.
This single piece of advice set me back at least 3 years in terms of network marketing success.
Why? Because, while it’s very nice to think that everyone wants to join your opportunity, the realistic fact is that network marketing is not for everyone…. in fact, it’s not the right fit for MOST people.
The first and most important fact that you’ll need to get in your head is that you are looking for that special person who understands the value of the network marketing industry AND who is at the right time in their life to go after their dreams. Not everyone is.
I’ve talked to many great prospects who were fully qualified to join my team but, after discussing their current circumstances, realized that the timing was just not right for them to give the time and dedication necessary to be successful in this industry.
I’ve gotten to the point where I am fairly exclusive in who I choose to work with in my business. I don’t take just anyone. This may sound a little arrogant, but it’s as far from arrogance as you can get.
I’ve realized over the years that people who join network marketing for the wrong reasons or having unrealistic expectations will LIKELY FAIL. I feel that by choosing not to work with them at the beginning, I am actually doing them a favor.
I am saving them a lot of frustration and, more importantly, a lot of money.
So who do I work with?
I am looking for the following qualities in a prospect:
- Someone who understands that this is a BUSINESS, and businesses cost money when first starting up. It will take people with NO CASH a lot longer to turn a profit in their business, and 99% of them will quit before they see that profit.
- Someone who understands that building a business is a PROCESS, and it is not a get rich quick scenario. In fact, unless you’ve got prior network marketing experience and have already learned the skills necessary to make money online, it will likely TAKE A WHILE TO TURN A PROFIT. I see many people looking for a home business opportunity who are doing so because they NEED A JOB. They have no money and need to make some quickly to pay their bills. These people are NOT your prospects.
- Someone who is coach-able, will listen and follow directions, then take what they’ve learned and apply it to their businesses in an independent manner. In other words, people who take responsibility for seeking out the information they need, and then applying that knowledge to grow their business. Coach-ability and independence are key traits in a network marketer.
- Finally, I am looking for that person who is NOT AFRAID TO TRY NEW THINGS. For most people starting out in network marketing, the skills they will need to acquire are much different than anything they’ve done before. They need to understand that growing their business will involve getting out of their comfort zone. For me, making videos was a huge challenge. I disliked even the thought of making a video and having it splashed on YouTube for everyone to see. But I knew that video marketing is a very powerful way to get your message out, so I took a course, got the knowledge I needed to make videos and understand how to promote them, and then I made the videos. They were terrible at first, downright awful. But I kept doing them until I got more comfortable. This is still a skills set that I am working to improve, but I’ve come a long way and gotten past the discomfort. This is a very important quality in a potential prospect, and one I value highly when determining if I want to work with that person.
So there you have it. The traits and qualities I look for when deciding if I want to add someone to my network marketing team.
If you are just starting out, you will probably be saying to yourself, “But I haven’t sponsored anyone. I can’t afford to be choosy.”
The fact is, you can’t afford NOT to be choosy. Take it from personal experience. If you sponsor people who are not the right fit for network marketing, you and your new team member will have a miserable experience.
Worse, you may even feel as if you are to blame for getting them involved in the first place.
Set your standards now. Think of the kinds of people YOU WANT TO WORK WITH.
And then prospect.
Now prospecting is not just a process of reaching out to anyone who will listen and trying to convince them of your great business opportunity.
Now you are the one in control. You are talking to people, getting to know them and understand them. And as you do that, you will know if they are right for YOUR opportunity.
This is YOUR BUSINESS. You are the CEO. You make the decisions.
Decide early on who your prospects are, and you will save yourself a lot of time, money, and stress.
For my more experienced readers, can you add to this list? Leave a comment.
Til tomorrow,

We Are In The News!
As you may know, my wife Rosemary and I recently attended the 7th Wealth Masters International m2 Wealth Conference in Marco Island, FL.
In the following press release, we were quoted about our reaction to the conference and it’s value to its members….
Wealth Masters International Holds 7th Annual m2 Wealth Conference
Leading world-class experts in finance, economics, and wealth creation strategies explain the root causes of today’s economic recession.
Marco Island, FL—Wealth Masters International (WMI) is wrapping up its 7th Annual m2 Wealth Conference here as attendees scramble to take in as much information as possible to prepare for what could well become a wide-ranging global financial firestorm. The four-day event, which ran from November 21-24, 2008, featured leading world class experts in finance, economics, and wealth creation strategies who provided attendees with detailed explanations of the root causes of today’s economic recession.
More importantly, investment and wealth creation strategies were discussed to not just survive the coming hard times, but to succeed and thrive financially as well. Experts predict that during the next 3 years investors will be hit hard, and opportunities will abound for those who know how to spot and capitalize on them.
Unique investment opportunities not normally known to the public were introduced and made available to attendees of the m2 Conference through independent business alliances. Finally, the co-creators of WMI, Kip Herriage and Karl Bessey announced an improved, interactive m1 financial education product and the new m3 Private Wealth Group that will greatly expand on wealth and investment strategies and opportunities available to its members.
Two attendees, Dr. Bob Clarke and Rosemary Berrios-Clarke, are health care professionals at a major New York Medical Center and leading marketers in Wealth Masters International. As affiliates of CarbonCopyPRO, the marketing arm of WMI, the two have become leading experts at marketing and promoting these world class group of products.
According to Berrios-Clarke, “The information presented at the m2 Wealth Conference is what everyone in America and abroad needs to hear in order to get through the next 3 years of recessionary economic times and come out the other side financially intact. This is information I will definitely want to share with my family and friends,” she said.Dr. Clarke believes that the general public is not adequately prepared for the coming struggles and financial challenges, largely because they don’t fully understand what’s happening. “I finally understand the root causes of the economic recession we are experiencing at the present time, and it is very comforting to be armed with the knowledge and unique investment opportunities that will allow us to substantially grow our money over the next few years,” he said.
“The financial education and wealth creation strategies that were detailed over the last 3 days of the WMI m2 Wealth Conference will allow all who attended to not only survive the recession we are only now beginning to experience but to continue to build wealth during this difficult financial period,” Dr. Clarke concluded.
After listening to the diverse group of financial and wealth creation experts presenting at the m2 Conference, Dr. Clarke stressed that the coming economic calamity isn’t a matter of if it will happen, but when. He suggests that knowledge is the key to financial survival during the next few years, and it’s up to each one of us to obtain—and to implement—that knowledge.

To your prosperity,

November 25, 2008; Cresskill, NJAre You a Sheep Or a Wolf?
I just got off the phone with Aaron Parkinson, co-creator of Carbon Copy PRO Marketing.
Aaron was talking about the recession and the economic prospects for the next few years. He made an analogy that I feel is worth sharing.
The economy is tanking. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the seriousness of that statement. But what are you going to do about it? Are you going to be actively looking for solutions, or are you going to let it be, let it ride, and be like sheep being led to a slaughter.
That’s right. Sheep.
The picture of sheep being led en masse to the slaughter is an appropriate representation of what will happen to us if we take a wait and see attitude.
Wait and see what will happen with my life savings.
Wait and see if I will keep my job.
Wait and see if I can keep paying the mortgage on my house.
In this case, taking a “wait and see” attitude is a disaster.
It’s a well known fact that, in every economic downturn in history, including the Great Depression, there was money to be made, and there were people who prospered financially.
These were the people who EDUCATED THEMSELVES financially, enabling them to protect their savings and make sound investments when no one else even considered them.
I am lucky enough to be part of a company, Wealth Masters International, that have products that you cannot afford to be without right now.
Let me repeat that —
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT OPTIONAL.
I don’t like to plug my own businesses on this blog, but times have changed.
I have something that you NEED to have. So let’s put our cards on the table.
Will I benefit financially? Absolutely!
But not as much as you.
Why?
Because you will be gaining the MOST IMPORTANT thing that people who prosper in a recession all have: FINANCIAL EDUCATION.
- You can learn how to keep more of your money.
- You can learn how to protect it and minimize your taxes.
- You can learn the steps to take to secure your financial future.
If that was all, I would go tell you to buy a financial education book and be done with it.
But there’s more…. much more.
With the Wealth Masters Product Line, you get access to several “alliances”, companies hand picked by Wealth Masters to help you PERSONALLY in your specific situations.
Companies that deal in wealth acceleration, asset protection, tax minimization, credit restoration, and much more.
Imagine, a team of financial professionals right at your fingertips, without having to go out and research the internet to find them. Invaluable. And these are the BEST OF THE BEST!
NOTE: Wealth Masters has no financial arrangements with these companies; they are totally independent. Thus there is no risk of any conflict of interest.
Want STILL MORE?
OK. This will blow you away.
Wealth Masters also provides you access to private investments that the public never sees.
Investments that hold true in this type of economy, when others fail. You get to rub elbows with the investment gurus in various sectors and find out the very latest investments that can grow your money.
ANOTHER NOTE: Wealth Masters does NOT give investment advice, nor do they offer investments as part of their services. Rather, they allow you access to the people that do offer these types of exclusive investments.
So there you have it.
- Financial education
- Teams of Professionals at your fingertips
- Exposure to Exclusive Investment Opportunities.
Instead of a sheep waiting for the slaughter, you have now become a WOLF, ready to take action given your new found knowledge.
Guys, you need to check this out.
I am sharing this with you because I truly feel that, without this type of education, we are all one step away from financial ruin. I’m not kidding.
Take action now… be a wolf.
To your financial education!

Is Carbon Copy PRO a SCAM?
I got a nice email from a young lady yesterday. It seems she had visited my Carbon Copy PRO website but was concerned about leaving her name and email because, as she put it, “there are so many scams out there.”
I called and assured her that Carbon Copy PRO is NOT a scam, that it is a legitimate, lucrative home business opportunity, and that it is associated with a well recognized and respected financial education and wealth creation company called Wealth Masters International.
I told her that, NO , it most definitely is NOT A SCAM, that my wife and I are making good money with their system and improving weekly as we learn more and more from their 30 Day Marketing Guide.
She was assured, and she is now taking a closer look.
But I got to thinking about her statement….
“There are so many SCAMS out there!”
Are there really?
I don’t think so, and I’ll tell you why. I’ll also tell you why I feel sorry for people searching for a legitimate home business opportunity.
Surely, there are some scams out there, some illegal at worst and misleading at best. But I think they are exposed fairly quickly and gone from the horizon.
But do this exercise for me….
Go to Google and type in any home based business you can think of. MLM, direct sales, it doesn’t matter which ones you choose. After each business type in the word “Scam.”
Type in Carbon Copy PRO Scam.
Type in Wealth Masters International Scam.
Type in Amway Scam. Type in Herbalife Scam. Type in USANA Scam.
Type in any other network marketing company you know of.
What do you see?
I just performed this exercise with Carbon Copy PRO, and this is a sampling of what I found:
Don’t Join Carbon C. Pro
Don’t Buy Carbon C Pro
(Carbon Copy Pro Scam) *FORBIDDEN* Truth Here
YouTube – Carbon Copy Pro SCAM – TOOK MY MONEY!! (internet business)
Is Carbon Copy Pro a scam?
Work From Home Are Scams
You see a trend here? You will see these headlines for ANY home business opportunity you type in Google.
Surely, THEY CAN’T ALL BE SCAMS! In fact, this last example seems to implicate the ENTIRE Network Marketing Industry!
A closer look tells the story.
Every one of these ads or articles is written by someone who is marketing another home business opportunity. Every one.
And sadly, some are even written by other Carbon Copy PRO associates, who then turn it around and get more leads for their business. Why would they do this?
Because people type in scam in Google all the time. It is always one of the highest searched words, so marketers take advantage of it.
So what is the person to do if they are looking for a legitimate home based business?
Here is my advice
- Be brave and try not to be so suspicious. Most opportunities are not scams.
- Learn more about each company, talk to people actually doing the business, and study the compensation plans and business models (i.e. doyour due diligence).
- Ask a lot of questions, go on conference calls if offered.
- Ask to speak with other members, especially ones who have just joined — not the person who will be sponsoring you and profiting from your joining his business.
- Find a mentor who is knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, willing to take the time to show you the ropes to get you started in your new business.
Remember, the ads you see on Google are meant to draw your attention. But they are almost always written by people selling their own opportunity.
Sometimes they are posted by angry former home business owners who failed and did not make money.
But that is the subject for a different post.
Remember…..
BE AWARE, not BEWARE!
Do your due diligence, but don’t buy into these scare tactics.
Good luck and prosperity!

Make Money, Not Excuses
“You can make money or you can make excuses, but you can’t make both.”
These words were written recently in a blog by Karl Bessey, co-founder of a Texas-based finanical education and wealth creation company called Wealth Masters International.
I have been in this industry for more than a couple of years now, and I couldn’t agree with this more.
As I have said on this blog before, 97% of all home-based business owners fail. I take this to mean that 97% of all people who start a home-based business do not make enough money, and most probably spend more money than they make.
What that also tells me is that 97% of these people MAKE EXCUSES.
I have heard a lot of excuses in this business, some rather unique. But most center on the theme of NO MONEY, NO TIME, NO SUPPORT. OK, OK, and OK.
So what? You want to know how many of the 3% of people who make money in this industry had NO MONEY when they first started? Probably 95% of them.
You want to know how many of these people had time issues? Most of them.
You want to know how many had little to no support, and had to find their own way? Probably ALL of them.
That’s right, guys. It’s time to lay down the excuses and start making money.
Don’t let ANYTHING get in your way.
I am changing my mindset on this issue of EXCUSES.
Here are my new edicts:
- You have money problems? So does everybody. You will find the money if you really want it.
- You have time issues? Too bad. Stay up later or get up earlier.
- Your sponsor leave the company? So what, it happens all the time. Find the support you need elsewhere.
- Your spouse giving you crap about spending money? Work it out. Make money.
- You have too many expenses? Life getting in the way? That’s life — work it out (Rosemary and I have 2 kids in college, 1 going next year, and 1 more the year after… make it work anyway you can).
I know this may sound hard ass to many, but I’ve found in building my business with Carbon Copy PRO and WMI that it’s the only way you’ll make money.
No Excuses, Make Money. $$$
Great advice from someone who has “made it” in the Direct Sales industry. Karl Bessey is someone I really have come to respect. His story is compelling…. coal miner turned entrepreneur. So when he speaks, I listen.
And on this one, he is right on the money!
To your prosperity,
Bob

MLM Success: Make the Effort to Attend a Live Event
I’ve heard it stated that those people who attend their MLM or direct sales company’s live events have a significantly higher chance at succeeding than those that don’t attend.
Why would this be true?
I just returned from the Second Live Marketing Event in Dallas, Texas sponsored by Carbon Copy PRO Marketing. I’ve already reviewed the event in a recent post, but today I’d like to get more into the mindset of attending live events.
What do you get at a Live Event that you can’t get sitting behind your computer?
- Informational trainings and company updates
- The ability to put faces to names of those you have become familiar with in your company
- The chance to form friendships and brainstorm with people in your company
- Many times there will be promotional discounts on company materials
- Time away from the drudgery of every day life and, usually a renewed drive to work your business.
These are all great advantages to attending a live event, but I’m not sure they can explain why people who attend these events go on to success at higher rates than those that do not.
I believe that it is not the attendance at the Live Event per se that subsequently drives a person’s success in their business, but rather something far more basic.
I believe it has more to do with a person’s mindset and drive.
This is a person who understands the importance of self improvement, education, and training in building their business empire.
This is a person who understands that no man (or woman) is an island, that we need to work with others to really make our business thrive.
This is a person who does not hesitate to spend money to advance their business.
For all the above reasons, I believe it is not the attendance at the live event that makes the difference between successful and unsuccessful home business owners.
It is the intent and willingness, the mindset if you will, of the person to take their business to the next level by attending an event that really matters.
The event might be fantastic, with exceptional training and full of “golden nuggets” of information to take home, like the Carbon Copy PRO Marketing Event I just attended.
Or the live event might be lacking in substance, a little boring even….. it matters little.
What truly matters is the EFFORT you took to attend.
This is what distinguishes those that succeed and those that don’t in the MLM and Direct Sales business arena.
Carbon Copy PRO Marketing Event — New Strategies, Inspiration, and a New Porsche
Wow! I just got back from a live training event and here are the details….
That’s all I can say. I have been in the Network Marketing industry for quite a few years now, and I have never been to company live events that actually TEACH people HOW TO MARKET. Until now.
Carbon Copy PRO’s Second Live Marketing Event in Dallas was held on Saturday and it was an amazing mix of new strategies, tips, and great discounts on coaching from experts in the world of marketing.
And they even gave away a new Porsche!
Here’s a glimpse at the schedule of events (non-inclusive):
- M.J. Durkin of Sales Judo Academy started things off with terrific tips on how to prospect, build your list, and secrets of leaving great voice mails. Many nuggets here, folks.
- Jimmy Davis and Dennis Karganilla of MLM Goldmine, the masters of Web 2.0 provided their own gold nuggets for the audience with their tips on making MySpace and YouTube work.
- Howie Schwartz of Conversation Domination continued the Web 2.0 theme and showed everyone how he routinely ranks on the first page of Google using Web 2.0 methodologies.
- Cherie Yvette, the Urban Cowgirl, unveiled for the first time her new Pay Per Click software that will revolutionize the way everyone optimizes their PPC campaigns. Amazing stuff at an amazing price.
- Natalie Stahl of Platinum 7 Consulting presented her Weekly Action Plan, providing consultants with a formal plan that will turbo charge their online businesses. Natalie also outlined the outsourcing services available exclusively for Carbon Copy PRO members.
- Kep Herriage and Karl Bessey, co-founders of Wealth Masters International, provided an overview of WMI’s unbelievable financial education and wealth creation products available to Carbon Copy PRO members. Given the current financial climate, these products and strategies couldn’t be more important.
My point is two fold, here:
- If you are a member of Carbon Copy PRO or Wealth Masters International, you missed something HUGE here. You missed a chance to pick the brains of some of the absolute experts in online marketing, providing THE MOST CUTTING EDGE STRATEGIES.
- If you are a member of other network marketing opportunities, think very strongly about attending a live event. Statistics show that new members of an opportunity that attend a live event within the first few months of joining have a much higher chance of success than those that do not attend a live event.
Oh yea, I almost forgot. The leaders at Carbon Copy gave away a prize for the person who sold the most Business in a Box product since it’s introduction a few months ago. The winner got…. well, you can see it. Again, WOW. Lucky guy!
Glad to be back, guys. And ready to roll.
To your success!
