Christian Hip Hop Artisit Explodes At #1 Spot On Billboard 200 Chart

By 8 Comments

christian hip hop

Christian Hip Hop Is On A New Level!

I simply had to switch it up today.. WHY??

Well when I heard this news… my heart skipped a beat.

As you read this post all the way to the end.. you not only become VERY motivated.. yet you will have a better understanding of what’s going on in YOUR life!

There are moments when a person simply stands out.. A moment when everything lines up and there is no denying that success has arrived.

Lecrae is one of those people.  A few weeks ago this guy broke records.. and it’s not the first time.. it was just that moment when the world noticed.

My opinion is he has changed the view of Christian Hip Hop..

And honestly it’s a prime example of that saying, “It’s not about YOU”!

Before I go any further I want you to hear it directly from Lacrea…

How This Christian Hip Hop Artist Change The Game!

While most Christian artists have struggled to break out of the Christian music subculture, Lecrae has found early crossover success — and a significant following among white evangelical elites.

He navigates the tricky waters between rapping explicitly about Christianity while reaching a mainstream audience.

According to Billboard, he’s sold 1.4 million albums and 2.9 million track downloads.

“Anomaly” hit Billboard’s No. 1 the week ending September 14, 2014 — a first for a gospel album and only the fifth for a Christian album.

Success is all around this guy.. keep in mind that Christian Hip Hop songs are not hitting the Billboard’s No. 1 spot like this every day..

His acting debut in “Believe Me,” a film about a group of four men who try to con money out of churchgoers, received a short, positive nod from The New York Times. (source)

Check out what Lecrae said,

“A mentor told me years ago, ‘Lecrae you’re not in the widget and gimmick business, you’re in the people business. As long as you take care of people, they’ll take care of you,’” the rapper is quoted in his official bio. “So we’ve always looked at it as if we’re not trying to sell CDs, we’re trying to take care of people —Give them messages of hope and inspiration.”

As I’m reading all about Lecrae I’m realizing the way this guy thinks..

How he sees things…

In the Lecrae Biography I also see where he stated,

“People struggle with categories. Categories make us feel comfortable because it’s how we make sense of things in our minds,” Grammy-award winner Lecrae Moore ponders. But sometimes, when you discover something really special, it defies category. Lecrae finishes his thought, “Sometimes, there’s transcendence.”

This way of thinking is very much the way we SHOULD see things in the Home Based Business industry. At least the person you are following should already have this mind set already in place so that they can lead you into a place of transcendence.

The Connection Between The Success Christian Hip Hop Artist And Your Business!

The reality is that if you keep doing what the majority is doing.. you will remain like the majority.

And I don’t know if you notice.. yet they are not FREE!!

Let me tell you.. living this life of a Stay At Home Single Mom with my own business.. taking care of my family… living my life outside the norm..

It gets lonely sometimes..

People come at me like I’m the crazy one.. and when I say people.. I mean friends.. family.. those I love.

Yet on the other side.. I also have friends, family, and those I love that understand my journey.

There are people watching you right now..

Do you feel a little out of place in your current situation?? Feeling like you simply don’t belong?

It’s a SIGN!! Pay ATTENTION to what is going on in your world! Are you full of joy most of the time?

Do you wake up wanting to be somebody else?

If you answered yes!!

Make a change.

You may not know what to do.. how to change… I mean how do you do the unknown.. the different.

First you connect with a person that has already escaped.. (like me) and then you stay close.. and follow them to freedom.

Conquering The Sales Process Leads To True Freedom

Understanding Your Sales Process Will Show You What Bridge To Build

sales process

 I can’t speak for you..

Yet when I started my first business.. I had not idea what a sales process could do for me.

Truth be told.. had you asked me about my sales process.. I would have probably looked at you crazy and changed the subject.

LOL..

I laugh because I know for a fact that I’m not alone.

See at the beginning we join a business for a particular reason. I’ve listed a few below.. maybe you can see yourself in them:

  • More time with the family
  • Money to pay off debt
  • Money to supplement the job income
  • In order to travel the world
  • To fill a need for child support (oh.. this was me.. smile)
  • To leave the job
  • Freedom to live your life YOUR way
  • Enter your reason here

The focus in building the business is usually the end goal.

Unfortunately in the Home Based Business industry people are rarely taught how to actually sale.

Many join because the excitement of the dream becoming a reality.. then they follow the first steps given to them..

“Talk to your friends, family, co-workers, everyone you know.”

Then when you are finished with those.. simply share your business with everybody you meet.

Ok.. seriously that works at the very beginning.. yet how about when you have a 6 months under your belt…

No success.. and now you are becoming a little burned out..

You realize you are not at a river.. you must cross it to continue.. yet the bridge is missing! Now WHAT?

Well.. the bridge will appear when you discover the Sales Process.

sales process

The 7 Step Sales Process That Converts 

1. Product Knowledge: Know your product! You should understand exactly what you are offering to the market place. I always start here when consulting my marketing clients.  The first place we start is with the product.  It’s what you are selling.  Write down 5 problems that YOUR product is a solution to. If you have a line of different products, pick 3 that you will start your sales process selling.. and write down 5 problems for each product.

2. Prospecting: Yes time to locate your customers.. are help them locate you (will go more in to that later).  Prospecting is a section that many take way more lightly then they should. Everyone is not meant to use your product, or join you in business.  You have a valuable product, treat it as such. Make sure that you are digging in the right place, so that you can communicate with those that you know will benefit from your product.  Which leads to less rejection and more sales.  I wrote an entire article on this topic, you can see it here!

3. The Approach: This is where it all gets really interesting.  For this article we are going to consider the approach in the context of  lead generation, vs. the sales call.  Why? Well, I specialize in lead generation and honestly enjoy connecting with new people on auto-pilot while I’m at my daughter’s soccer game.. yet that’s just me. This is the step where you begin to build relationships.  Make sure to have follow-up emails set in your autoresponder. I recommend at least 7 very GOOD emails for each list.  Stats show that it can take up to 7 touches for a person to take action.  So make the first 7 emails count.  Another thing to consider in your approach is to remember to market to each list separately.  For example if you gathered the lead with a Facebook Marketing ebook, then send them information on Facebook Marketing.. not LinkedIn Marketing.  (Please don’t ask me how I know this.. let’s just say I learned the hard way.. ROFL)

4. The Needs Assessment: I believe this is one of the most important sections of the sales process.  Which really lines right up with number one.  Knowing the problem that your product solves allows you to know exactly how your target market will respond.  You have to take time, if the person doesn’t buy immediately, to tap into their needs. The offer that captured the lead is your initial point of assessment.  For example if a person opts in to a list talking about generating leads.. they probably have a problem getting leads.  IE: Need = Leads.  Your product is a solution to obtaining leads.. so simply tip tap on this need over and over.. then offer the solution.

5. The Presentation: Depending on the technique you use to present.. for example video, blog post, email, in person, or social media inbox remember this one thing.  Only one thing.. I don’t care what anybody else tells you.. This one thing is all you need to remember.. PERIOD!! Ok.. I just said I don’t care what you’ve heard.. this is the ONLY thing you need to remember.. “Stories sell and Facts tell”.. so what do you want to do.. Sell.. or tell.. yeah.. that’s what I thought.. smile.

6. The Close: Wow.. the close.. just give me a moment of silence.. Ok.. let’s continue.. Why the moment of silence?? Because this is where the death of the sales process occurs the most!  Never be afraid to go in for the close. Have a clear and concise call to action.  Go in with confidence.. do not.. let me repeat do not act scared.. Now you can be scared.. just don’t act like it.. I become someone else every time I close.. I may have even closed you and yes.. Now you know.. I was no longer Shalonda.. I was Michelle.  You may meet her again someday.  LOL.. Michelle is a closing BEAST!! No does not scare her.. WHY?  Because she knows if you say No today that she has her sales funnel set up so that you will Yes tomorrow! (You can set yours up in 10 minutes right here).  There many ins and out to closing.. which I will get into later this week, so make sure to snatch your free gift over on the right so that you have access when it comes out.

7. The Follow-up: One of the most overlooked sections of the sales process.  The reality is that the follow-up is for those who have purchased from you just as much as those who have not yet taken action. Make the follow-up a priority and watch your conversions raise higher and higher.  When following up on-line videos are amazing. Speak directly to your prospect in the video.. Now I realize you want to show this video to everyone on that list.. and YES.. you should.. yet when you make the video.. speak to one person. Same goes for when you write an email message.  Remember you are speaking to a person.. not a group of people.  You want the person connected with you to feel like everything you say is directly for them. The more you create this environment, the more credit cards will come flying out of pockets.

Prospect With These Next-Level Techniques And Break The Bank

By 7 Comments

prospect

What are you doing with your PROSPECT??

Many times when we join our business we are so excited that we simply tell everybody that we have found the next best thing since sliced bread.

We try to sign up everyone that we run into.

Yet the reality is that this is not the best way to prospect, and truth be told everyone is not meant to become your prospect.

Realizing that your business is not for everybody is the best place to start and also realizing that you really don’t want to work with just anybody.

Now that you have found the next best thing, it is now your job to sort through the people in order the find the ones that were meant to work with you.

Who is YOUR perfect Prospect?

When approaching a person in order to see if they are a good fit for your business or prospect them, you need to interview them.

Just like if you were applying for a job they would interview you… or if you were hiring somebody to work with you, you would interview them.

Well the same needs to happen now that you are deciding who the individuals are that will take your business to the next level.

I’ve learned from many, yet let me mention Dani Johnson. She taught me how to F.O.R.M individuals prior to introducing them to my business opportunity.

In order to F.O.R.M a person you will ask a series if questions to help you determine how your opportunity is a solution to their situation.

You may also find through this process that the individual is meant to be a preferred customer instead of a business owner.

Now F.O.R.M stands for the following:

1. F = Family: Let’s ask them about their family and determine if the business will help solve an issue in this area. For example: “Do you have children?” “Do you have the opportunity to spend a lot of time with your family?”

2. O = Occupation: Let’s ask them about what they currently do for a living. For example: “Are you currently working?” “What kind of work do you do?” “Do you like what you do?”

3. R = Recreation: Let’s ask them about what they like to do with their free time. For example: “What do you do for fun?” “How many times do you get to do that a week?”

4. M = Motivation: Let’s ask about what motivates them to continue building a business. For example: “Why are you trying to start your own business?” “If your business hit a slow spell, what would motivate you to keep pushing forward?”

Now you know your Prospect!!

Now that we have learned something about our prospect, we can make a better informed decision about how our business will help them in their situation.

You are starting to build a relationship.

Many people forget that Network Marketing is about relationships.

Remember that people join people not businesses.

So you want to build a relationship with your prospect so that they will want to join you.

The final and most important rule for the basics of prospecting is that you must listen to them.

You must ask your question and LISTEN to their answer.

This is a vital key to successful prospecting.

I have found that in the past when I failed to listen to the needs of my prospect that I left without the new member.

Once I actually started listening to my prospects my conversion rates went through the roof.

I hope this information helps you when you start to talk to your next perfect prospect.

Conquer Cold Calling Voice Mail Messages With This Technique

By 3 Comments

“When I experience cold call frustration I now know it’s time to re-invent myself and how I do business.” ~unknown

Cold Calling Is Not DEAD!

cold calling

Anybody who has been in Network Marketing, Sales, or really business in general has had to deal with picking up the phone to call a prospect.  Cold calling is one of the most disliked techniques, yet when done correctly it can completely explode your bank account.

Yet let’s just be honest.. who really wants to sit around calling random people?

I never did.  I couldn’t stand cold calling. Which is one of the main reason I came to the internet.

I simply knew there had to be a better way.

There was one moment in my sales career that I literally converted about 85% of all my calls into sales.

The product… they were Sesame Street Books.  I worked at an outbound call center.  I would sit on the phones for hours.. taking call after call after call.

Yes.. I was that person calling during dinner to offer you something you needed in your house.

How did I convert 85% of my calls into sales, you ask.. Oh.. I knew that every single person I spoke with had kids.  During those days Sesame Street Books were a hot commodity.

Funny, I know.. yet the numbers didn’t lie.  I treated each call like their lives depended on their kids reading Sesame Street Books.. and 85% bought into my story.  See most of the adults that answered the phone also grew up reading Sesame Street Books just like myself… and we all want our kids to have the best of what we experienced.

cold calling

Cold Calling Techniques Can Cause You To Quit.. or Press You To Move Forward!!

Right now in 2014 cold calling is harder then ever.. WHY?

Well everyone has caller ID. So basically they have made an assumption before they even answer the phone with “Hello!”

Where as pre-caller id, the person didn’t have any idea who was calling until they said Hello! Then you could lead with the, “Hello, First name.. ”

Now when a person sees a number they do not know on caller id and then you are on the other end calling them by their first name.. the response is usually…

Rejection!

Let me just be honest.. I would hate to sale Sesame Street books today.. with caller id around.

Now let’s get into what to do with your list of leads.

Many still believe strongly in cold calling Biz Opp leads.  You may have a list in front of you.  HOT off the presses.

You sit down and you prepare to make calls.  You pull out your script. When ever I start cold calling I use Dani Johnson’s Script Book. She is a BEAST!!..

The one you have been practicing in the mirror with a big smile on your face.

I know you have heard about making calls with a smile on your face.. (hint)

You have your list of 100 names and numbers to start… as you feel that nervous feeling come over you.  Phone in hand.. you begin to dial the number

….and…

POW.. it’s a voice mail.. part of you is relieved.. yet now you are like.. what do I do next?

I have a little technique that works for me with every single time I’m forced to go through cold calling..

The Alternative To Cold Calling is Warm Calling!! Here Is How You Can Do It!

I reached that moment when I simply didn’t want to cold call another person. I knew there had to be a way to make everyone WARM.. and I found it.

The internet creates an amazing opportunity for you to connect with thousands of people every day.  The process is broken down for you below.  Yet let me warn you.

You can attempt to create it all on your own.. or you can simply Click Here and snatch a system that is already set up for you.  It’s the exact system I used to go from sponsoring 4 people in 3 years to sponsoring 50 people in 12 months into my business. The great thing is that everything I’ve learned still works and continues to grow my team.

The Warm Calling Process:

  1. Create Something To Give Away On-Line
  2. Exchange That Creation for Email Addresses
  3. Communicate With Those Emails Every Day For 7 Days
  4. Offer A 15 Minute Coaching Session on What you Created
  5. Call The Warm Leads That take the Coaching Session Offer.

How To Afford Financial Help For Single Moms!

financial help for single moms

Financial Help For Single Moms Comes With A Decision

It’s amazing how much time we spend focusing on all that we think we need as single moms.

Now understand I am a single mom.. I’m not talking about what I think happens…
no I’m talking about what I know is happening.

As I’ve lived it.. and continue to grow through each experience.

See financial help for single moms comes when you as a single mom make a decision that honestly you can create all the finances you need.

Yet there is a process that you will go through.

You may already find yourself going through the process and not even know it.

See so many of us, single moms, are looking for financial help for single moms, that we forget all that we started with prior to becoming single moms.

I don’t know of too many single moms that dreamed of a life of taking care of children alone.

So when we find ourselves in this situation we have to begin the process that I spoke of above.

As you continue to read this information.  I’m going to give you the exact process that you will go through in order to create the financial help for single moms.

Financial Help For Single Moms Requires Completion of The Process

When I had my first child 12 years ago..

I had a job and rarely saw my baby.

Not seeing my baby broke my heart.

I never imagined I would want to spend so much time with another human being until I had a baby.

I begin to see the job as my enemy, so when they terminated from that job when my daughter was 9 months old.

I really had mixed feelings..  to day the least.. that this company would simply fire me knowing my situation.

As I did my job.. and did it well.

Yet I was a hot head at the time, and had an issue with the politics of the office.

Basically I really couldn’t submit to those that were ignorant.. it just didn’t work out.. so they fired me.

I promised myself I would never work for another corporation again.

I ended up moving back to Atlanta and started running my mother’s Mental Health Practice as a contracted employee.

I ran that practice for 11 years.

Through many ups and downs.. I grew.. I hurt.. I failed.. I succeeded.. I failed again.. I had another child.

Now I’m a single mom of two amazing daughters.

There is a process that I had to go through.

There were things that had to change in the way I thought about things.

Yes.. the way I THOUGHT about things.

The Financial Help For Single Moms Process

  1. Forgive Yourself

  2. Think on the things Your Are Grateful About

  3. Forgive Others (ie. Baby Daddy, Family, Friends.. etc)

  4. Begin To Walk By Faith (Give 10% of Gross Income To A Church)

  5. Find Your Mentor (That person living the life you desire.. should be a single mom like you)

  6. Listen To Your Mentor

 

Now some of you are not ready to read this information and understand what I’m saying.

You think it can’t possible be that simple..if it were I wouldn’t need any money.

Yet trust me when I tell you, it may read simple.. yet ain’t nothing simple about forgiving people that you feel have let you down.. especially if that person is the person you see every time you look in the mirror.

Truth be told this works for all people, not just single moms.

Yet I’m coming from the perspective of single moms.

Financial help for single moms is a real thing, and you have the power right in your hands.

See I know because today I’m a stay at home single mom, spending a few hours of my days building a business on the internet.

See financial help for single moms is available right now, in your hands.

Forbidden Information On How To Collect Child Support Payments

By 10 Comments

Child support has a bad rap.. the reality is if you take the government out of the situation.. it will still need to be a priority! ~Shalonda Gordon

Child Support Payments Truth Revealed!

child support payments

What a serious topic.. at least for those of us that it effects..

From custodial parents to non-custodial parents, we are all effected.

When it comes to child support many immediately go to “The System”.  They basically put all the power in the hands of the government and wait for them to collect their child support payments.  There is this big uproar about how “unfair” it is for the non-custodial parent.  Or It’s an uproar about how the custodial parent uses the funds.. Well for the rest of this article.. I will no longer differentiate between non-custodial parents and custodial parents.. from this point further we are simply PARENTS!

Just so you know my perspective.. yes I’m a parent that keeps the children in my home 99% of the time.  Yes I’m the primary caregiver as well as provider.  I have two daughters with two different fathers. (Feel free to say what you want about me.. it says nothing about my character.. it only speaks to yours.. yet that is a totally different article.)

I remember when I first came into contact with “The System” for child support payments.  It amazed me how much of my life it took away and how it appeared to be such a negative thing.  Like how dare I attempt to hold a parent accountable for their actions.  I felt discouraged, hopeless, and alone.  Now I was not alone.. yet I felt that way.

As a parent, you want the best for your child. Regardless of what happens in relationships between the parents, the child should have the chance to feel the love and support all around them. Yet it seems those child support payments can cause all kind of friction.

See one parent feels like they need more assistance while the other parent feels like they…. Ok.. Ok.. enough of the PC talking.. let’s be real..

Folks are straight HURT..and hurt people… hurt people. And if they can do it by making the money tight.. so be it.

My Story With Child Support Payments Is Common.. Yet How I Dealt With It.. Not So Common

Want to know my story?? Well.. when it comes to child support payments… I only have one to tell.. as my youngest child is in “The System”, yet I take care of her solo.. (All Glory To God that I’m able to)

So my oldest child’s father was giving me around $100 a month.. when my daughter was 9 months to around 1.5 years old. Then he received a better job…. much better. His overhead was no where near mines.. yet he told me.. notice that word.. TOLD me.. we didn’t discuss it, he didn’t inquire as to the needs of the child.. he simply told me that now he would give me $150 a month, while he made $50,000 a year.  I sat there and made a decision.  I decided to allow the government to collect my child support payments for me.  And well lets just say $150 didn’t quite cut it.

Now let me just go a little deeper.. as I know all about the other money that a parent spends outside of child support payments.  You know the clothes, the presence, the activities, the daycare, the school supplies.  Yes there are many many other ways to support a child without giving the other parent money.  Yet that was not my story. I received that amount and all that other stuff that money can be spent on.. well that was my money being spent on those things.

Notice I didn’t state anything about ‘feelings’.  I made the decision to end things.  I decided I could do better alone.  I made decisions that today.. knowing what I know now..

I would have done the EXACT SAME WAY! Yet.. child support payments should have NOTHING to do with how you are feeling.. and if a parent is making decisions based on feelings when it comes to child support.. they are in the WRONG, PERIOD.

Now even though “The System” had the power to collect the child support payments.. there were years when I received nothing at all.  Now this is where it got REAL INTERESTING..

Almost FORBIDDEN…

That kind of secret room in the back of the closet kind of forbidden.

child support payments

Now Stop Reading If You Have Drank The Kool-Aid, Walk Around In A Daze Half Of The Time, Thinking You Are In Control Of Your Life Even Though You Do Not Control Your Child Support Payments!

See “they” like it when you keep arguing over things that are out of your control.. For example you have kids..

You are a single parent..

You are struggling to make ends meet…

You allow “them” to collect your child support payments…

You do not receive the payments..  now you have no control over the collection of the funds.. you realize that if the payments come.. they come.. if they don’t they don’t

You get angry with the other parent.  There is this underlining dislike in your voice every time you talk about the other parent.

The child feels all of this.. yet you do not take control back.. you keep playing the blame game.

Now your child grows up and has issues.. because you couldn’t get it together.. all because you GAVE UP CONTROL!

“They” WIN!!

(Take a moment and breathe this in.. do not sit here and ask “who are they”.. does it really matter.. what are YOU doing??)

How To Take Control Of Your Child Support Payments!

There are some specific steps that I had to do in order to break free and TAKE control of my situations.  I mean as a parent we have enough to worry about.. and honestly I didn’t want to think about the other parent every day I noticed that I was not receiving support.  I did not want to spend my life thinking about a person I decided not to be with.. especially when the thoughts were not positive. So I learned a few things.. that I’m going to teach you right here.

{Part 3} Top Bloggers Secrets To Unbelievable Financial Freedom

By 23 Comments

“Not only are bloggers suckers for the remarkable, so are the people who read blogs.” ~Seth Godin

bloggers

Top Bloggers Know Things.. 

It always amazes me how cookie cutter society has become..

I mean we want everything fast and in a hurry..

We see something that “looks” easy and we decide.. ohhh I’m going to do that..

Or better yet someone tells us it will be easy.. we buy into it.. and depend on that person to take us all the way to victory.

I’m not judging.. if what I’ve just said makes you feel some kind of way.. don’t get mad at me… just read on..

See I’m not judging because I’d be crazy to do that.. It would be like judging myself.. smile.

See I remember when I started blogging because I “thought” it would be simple.  And at first it was very simple..

It just didn’t make me any money.

My oldest daughter laughs at me because I have this saying..

See she believes that I literally have eye balls in the back of my head.. or that I’m psychic.. WHY?

Because I know things.. just like top bloggers.

It reminds me of when I was younger.. see I come from a generation where my mother was not afraid to discipline me.

One day we were in the car driving somewhere.. I was old enough to sit in the front seat.  She was going off about something.. I don’t even remember.

What I remember is that I was ‘thinking’ something.. and before I could even express myself.. I was being punished.. (I’ll leave it at that.. as I’m still living and have great love for my mother so obviously it wasn’t life threatening.. lol)

And that wasn’t the first time she responded before me.. It was like this lady could see the future.. used to drive me crazy.

As I became a mother.. the years went by.. I’d tell my daughter every time she asked me.. “How did you know??”

I would simply say.. “I know things!!”

Then it happened.. that moment that gave me goosebumps.. that moment when in the movies you would see a flashback of a moment when I was young.. and..

I’ll get back to that in a second..

Hey it’s okay to come into the game with that mentality.. I already told you I did.  See when I started blogging it was for one reason and one reason only.

To generate leads for my Home Based Business.  Yet I treated my business like a hobby. WHY?  Well initially I joined expected to make a whole lot of money doing nothing.  I was caught up in the idea that it’s the easiest thing..

Ok.. laugh at me if you want.. It never really crossed my mind that if it was so easy more people would have millions of dollars sitting around.. I don’t know what to tell you.. I just didn’t catch on until later.. lol..

Top bloggers know exactly how to stand out from the rest. The fact is that if I wanted to have success and not give up. I had to find out what the top bloggers knew that I didn’t.

So I started my research.. and POW.  I’m going to share with you exactly what I found out.  Now this is actually final part of a series.  So make sure to get ALL the data.. You can see Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

Below is the final part of the data I collected in order to become one of the top bloggers on the internet.  Trust me when I tell you.. there is plenty of room at the top.. so come on..

What Top Bloggers Know That Is Now At Your Finger Tips!

Ok.. so remember I could never figure out my mom “knew things”.  And how my daughter kept asking me.. and really I just knew.. until that one day.. when my youngest daughter gave me this look!! When I tell you it was in her eyes.. I don’t even think she realized she did it.

I immediately ran and picked up my iphone.. I pressed “mom”.. the phone rang..

it rang again…

I hear.. “Hello”.. I say, “Mom”.. I know.. I know how you knew what I was thinking.. and how I know what my girls are thinking.. I explained the look in my daughter’s eyes.. and she fell out laughing.. She said.. yep.. that look would get you every time.

So watch your eyes.. lol.. I still haven’t told my daughters how.. “I know things”.. yet I did just tell you what Top Bloggers know.  So you have no excuse.

The Horrific Ripoff Report That Changed My Life

By 2 Comments

Swiss Cheese is a rip-off! It’s the only cheese I can bite into and miss! ~Mitch Hedberg

The Truth Behind The RipOff Report!

How many times have you dealt with the “ripoff report”?

I mean seriously.. in the Home Based Business industry I promise I hear about it every other day.

You may be thinking.. every other day.. REALLY??

Yes.. because I’m reaching new people every day.  People who have had horrific experiences in the Home Based Business industry.

See the thing about the ripoff report is that it is basically like this.. follow me now..

You are out chasing your dreams.. you come across a stranger! Let me clarify.  A stranger is somebody you do not know.

A person that has not asked you not one question.. they just SEE your hunger.

They do ALL the talking.. never listening to you.

They basically talk you into chasing your dreams with them..

You follow them.. never doing any research.. yet your dream is still in front of you.

All of a sudden you get this feeling in your gut.. because you realize you have invested money..

Yet you can’t see the same kind of investment taking place from the stranger.

Then it happens.. you notice that they are asking you to do something that they are not doing.

Finally you make the decision to quit following them.. you do your research just to find out.. you missed the ripoff report up front.

At this point you place your dreams on the back burner.. yet you are still looking for way out.

You seem somebody that you like.. you see they are living the dreams you sat down.. you decide you may join them..

Then you say.. “Show me the RipOff Report!”

Holding On To The RipOff Report Will Do This!

At this moment the Leader that you are following is confused.. here let me give you a visual of what happens when you do not let go of the RipOff Report of your past!

It’s basically like you joyfully walking into a prison..

Placing yourself in a cell..

Locking the door..

And throwing the key through the bars..

Yes.. it’s like locking yourself up for doing what??? Chasing your dreams..

Look.. I”m not saying that the ripoff report isn’t valid.. what I’m saying is..

Well nothing says it quite like a video.. (wink)

Leaving That RipOff Report In The Dust And Taking Back Your Freedom!

ripoff report

All and all we have all been burned by the elusive ripoff report.. yet the question really isn’t “blah blah blah.. how do I know you are not going to rip me off?”

How Your Powerful Customer Product Reviews Will Explode Your Sales

By 6 Comments

Customer Product Reviews Bring Realness To On-Line Shopping!

So recently I have been purchasing some larger prices items.

I found myself wanting to find out what others thought about the product I was pondering on.

When was the last time you checked out a customer product reviews prior to purchasing?

Well, I just used them to purchase my vacuum cleaner.  Basically the customer product reviews helped me decided on the vacuum I know own.

My oldest daughter, the one who actually uses the vacuum for her chores.. smile.. says its the best vacuum she has ever used.  And let me tell you, this young lady has vacuum experience.

Customer Product Reviews Bring A Different

View To Your Purchase!

Now I have purchased so many vacuums that break after like 2 weeks of usage.

Now we have a German Shepherd, and if you know anything about German Shepherds, you know they have a lot of hair.

So I need a vacuum that will work every week.  So I decided to take a different approach.

I spent about an hour reading the customer product reviews about the 10 vacuums that I was deciding between.

The greatest part is that Amazon has amazing customer product reviews on everything.

So once I decided on the vacuums I liked I was able to see what other customers thought about each vacuum.

 

Customer Product Reviews Do More Than Rate, they actually give you written out pros and cons to your purchase!

Ok.. Ok.. yet are the customer product reviews really from ACTUAL customers??

Yes.. and you know they are.. cuz every time you make a purchase you have the opportunity to give your personal customer product reviews on that product you purchased.

See this is where I usually fall short. I rarely go back and leave my feedback.

I must do better in that area.  I must admit it feels good simply knowing that I can… lol..

Customer Product Reviews can help your biz as well.. if used correctly…

As most of us are business builders, have you ever considered how Customer Product Reviews can help your biz.

While you are marketing your biz, you should find a location where you can offer customer product reviews from individuals that are your customers..and your team builders.

You should post these reviews on a High Traffic blog.  When I say high traffic I mean one with the ranking below..

alexa_empower_rankingIf you need to test your blog to see it compares.. simply visit Alexa.com.

Once you have a High Traffic blog, you can begin to share customer product reviews for your company on the blog.

By using a high traffic blog, you are able to knock all the other products similar to yours out the way and get your positioning on the first page of Google.

How Can I Get My Customer Product Reviews On A High Traffic Blog? Is It hard?

It depends on how you go about getting a high traffic blog.

You can spend 1,000 of dollars allowing some to to create your blog with lots of SEO goodies.

You can wait days, maybe weeks to get the blog up and running, and then months to get the traffic to it.

Or you can simply get a blog on a Viral Blogging System which comes ready to set up and start using in  minutes, plus the traffic is already there (as shown in picture above).

So to answer your question, No it is not hard to start placing your Customer product reviews on a high traffic blog.

On top of it being easy, you can also decide to generate an income while you are sharing your customer product reviews.

As a business owner, I’m sure you know many business owners that could benefit from  having their own High Traffic Blog to place their Customer Product Reviews on to.

45 Title Words That Will Make Your Blog Headlines Exceptional

By 21 Comments

Words That Make Your Blog Headlines POP!

I don’t know about you.. yet writing was not my first gift.

See I went to college for Physical Chemistry.. not English.. LOL..

It actually reminds me of this TRUE story.

I remember clearly being in High School.. busting my butt.. yes butt.. booty.. every piece of my body.

See in my mother’s house, education was everything.  If I did well in school.. the WORLD WAS MINES!!

Yet let me bring home a poor grade.. I believe things would have really been crazy.. see I don’t know… because the lowest grade I ever brought home was a C.. and things got a little crazy on that.. smile.

I remember when it was time to take the SAT..  My mom signed me up for all of these “Prep” classes..  I swear every weekend I was in some class taking practice SAT test.  Maybe you can relate.. depending on your age.

See we didn’t have computers all over the place back in the early 90’s so I was doing practice test in booklets.

When I tell you I hated every second of it.

Now keep reading.. I know you are wondering what does this have to do with blog headlines.. well pay attention..

The day came when I had to go and take the actual SAT.  Now back then the highest score you could get was 1800.

900 for Math and Science, and 900 for Verbal.

A few of my friends and I showed up to take this crazy test.. that required so much preparation.

I go in.. feeling a little nervous.. I recall it was cold in the room.. plus it was early in the morning.. especially for a Saturday!

I sit down.. in my seat.. ready to go.. at this point I realize there is no turning back..

The booklets are past out… time started.. and finally it was all over..

Now of course it took.. what felt like years for the results to come in.

Ever felt that way.. you know put in sweat, blood and tears into your blog.. and then you sit back and wait to see if it hits the search engines.. or to see if it brings any leads to your business.

I’ll get back to this in a second.. let’s get to these blog headlines!
