After more than six months of a lot of time, work, and money I've finally finished my latest project where I created a network marketing company directory.
Here are a few notes:
- It is brand new so please be patient as we finalize all the details. However, it is 90% complete and fully functional.
- I created a Network Marketing blog where you can create blog posts and get HUGE exposure (just make sure to follow the guidelines)
- You can buy an exclusive company profile ad - click on the Advertise tab and watch the video to learn more.
Okay, so here's the deal. You are among the first to really know about this site. I've already had quite a few orders (people buying company profile ads) just from having it live for 3 weeks and sending out a message to my Facebook group and my personal blog.
Because you are among the first to know about it you have the opportunity to grab the exclusive ad space for your company listing (hopefully it isn't already taken). In fact, there is still no one who has bought the Zrii exclusive ad (for anyone who is still in Zrii that is reading this).
And I wanted to give you a special offer that I am only giving to members of my Facebook group and of course people who are subscribed to my Zfreedom blog (you). We have about 4 Home page, featured spots available right now. Normally they cost $69/month. However, the first 4 people to buy an exclusive company profile ad (the Gold package) will get 3 months FREE on the Home page.
BUT ONLY THE FIRST FOUR PEOPLE WILL GET THIS DEAL! Once the spots are filled, they are gone. But, that doesn't mean the exclusive company ad isn't worth it - I'm just giving a very generous offer since it's the official launch of my site.
Go here now to check out my new site. And don't forget to click the Advertise tab and also the Network marketing blog.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 403-978-1914.
P.s. If you have a company that does not have a complete listing (i.e. video, description, etc.) don't worry - just let me know and it will only take a few minutes to update.
P.p.s. When you buy an ad (Click here to learn more) make sure you click on the PayPal button to complete your order.

Swine Flu Advice
I got this email today. Thought you would like to see it. Look at point #5 - what's cool is that this is a completely independent source for preventing the swine flu and out of the thousands of fruits high in Vitamin C he could have mentioned he mentions amla!
This just attests to how amazing the Zrii product is. I am convinced there is no better product on the market for promoting great health.
Prevent Swine Flu - Good Advice
Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid
specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has
worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital ,
Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc.. Presently, he is heading our
Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak
Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).
The following message given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and
is important for all to know
The only portals of e ntry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a
global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid
coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact
with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1
infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of
symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple
steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can
be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official
communications).
2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch
any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you
don't trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in
the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic
symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way,
gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy
individual that Tamiflu has on an infected o ne. Don't
underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative
method.
4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every
day with warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti
or Sutra Neti (very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but
*blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with
cotton buds dipped in warm salt water is very effective in bringing
down viral population.*
5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in
Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits). *If you have to
supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc
to boost absorption.
6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can.
*Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the
reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the
throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or
do any harm.
This just attests to how amazing the Zrii product is. I am convinced there is no better product on the market for promoting great health.

What An Amazing Zrii Trip! Here's Some Pic's
As many of you know, last week I went on a little Zrii tour around California.
I arrived in L.A. on Tuesday and did a little meeting that night in LakeWood. Holy cow is all I have to say!
Dan Metcalf is the one who hosted the meeting. Dan happens to be the nation's best soccer coach. He currently coaches Mark Burnett's son (you know, the producer of Fear Factor, Survivor, Are you smarter than a 5th grader, etc.).
Dan is an amazing individual. I sat in utter amazement as he told me the story of his life.
Well, Dan invited someone very "high up" and prestigious individuals to his home that night to listen to me give a presentation on Zrii. These people ranged from being a former cheer leader on Dallas Cowboys who now lives on the same street as Julia Roberts to one of the only Chiropractors in Malibu and a whole bunch more very connected people.
The meeting went very well! A few of them decided to join. I'm really excited to see the caliber of people that are attracted to Zrii.
Next day I was off to San Jose, CA. Where I met up with my good friend, Marcus Cox. We cruised around in his Zrii mobile (see picture below) and had a great time. That night we had a meeting and it turned out great.
Then I was off bright and early back to L.A. That weekend I stayed with Chris and Malia Moore. Chris and Malia have to be one of the most gracious and hospitable people I've ever met!
We had a blast!
On Saturday, Chris and Malia hosted a Zrii barbecue and there were over 140 people in attendance. It was an amazing day. I ended the day with a Zfreedom training. You should have seen the look on some of the faces... they were dumbfounded at how powerful the Zfreedom marketing system is.
Chris and Malia and a few other leaders are already asking me to come back down for another more in depth training.
I'm all for it! So I'll keep you updated.
Here's a few pic's from the trip:
This is Marcus Cox's sweet Zrii ride!

What Can You Do For Zrii?
What is Zrii? Is it just a phenomenal health product? Is it just another opportunity? Is it only a way to make money?
No! If this is all Zrii is then it isn't worth going through hell to fight against such mutiny.
What are you fighting for?
I know what I'm fighting for.
I'm fighting for light. Zrii is suppose to be a lighthouse. A ray of hope for the soul that is being tossed about by everything life is throwing at them. A community that shines bright for all to see and that welcomes anyone who yearns for something more.
I'm fighting for splendor. Zrii is suppose to be above the crap of this world. Zrii is like the splendor of the sun that warms the soul to the core. It is a community that people are proud to be a part of. A place that creates greatness within you.
I'm fighting for prosperity. Zrii is suppose to enrich our lives. Zrii brings prosperity and abundance in all areas of our life. Zrii is a place where friendships are born that last a life-time. It is a place where people can rise from the dust and create a future they've always dreamed of.
Zrii is something worth fighting for. It is something worth standing strong for. I know many of you have been affected by this mutiny. You feel betrayed. Use your emotion to fuel your desire to make this the greatest company the network marketing profession has ever seen.
Let's rise above this. Let's show the world what Zrii is made of.
Now is not a time to ask what Zrii can do for you. But rather ask what you can do for Zrii.
So what can we do for Zrii?
We can do whatever it takes to get to RSA. I know someone who was not planning on coming to this RSA. She didn't have the money and needed to stay with her kids. Yet, in the time Zrii needs her the most, she found a way to make it happen.
Sure, there are all kinds of excuses why you can't go to RSA. But, Zrii needs you. Hasn't Zrii always been there for you? Can you find it within you to fight for what you believe in? Join the community of light next week as we declare to the world that we will not be defeated. Join us as we make history.
Tell everyone on your team to order product. Support the company. Show Bill Farley that your behind him by doubling your order this month. Zrii is YOU. It is up to YOU to make this company stronger than it ever has been before.
So let me ask you again.
What, my friend, are you willing to do for Zrii?
No! If this is all Zrii is then it isn't worth going through hell to fight against such mutiny.
What are you fighting for?
I know what I'm fighting for.
I'm fighting for light. Zrii is suppose to be a lighthouse. A ray of hope for the soul that is being tossed about by everything life is throwing at them. A community that shines bright for all to see and that welcomes anyone who yearns for something more.

The Truth About Zrii and The Conspiracy. Is Zrii Done?
Wow. The last few days have been mind-boggling to say the least. By now you probably have heard a little bit of what has transpired in the last 48 hours.
I’m sure you all have questions. Doug and I have had hundreds of phone calls in the last couple of days so we know people are talking and have many questions.
So we will tell you how it all began.
Monday night we get a call from Jason Domingo. Jason said Bill Farley is stealing from Zrii and doing all kinds of other unethical things. Of course, Doug and I were shocked to hear this. We’ve met Bill many times and never thought he would do anything to harm Zrii.
Doug and I decided to hop in a car and drive down to Salt Lake City to see what was really happening. So that’s what we did. We left first thing on Tuesday morning in Doug’s black X5 BMW (our first real road trip in the beamer :-)
We arrived late Tuesday night in Idaho Falls. When we got into our hotel room we got a call from Jason Domingo. Jason proceeds to tell us that Zrii is going down in flames.
What???
Doug and I looked at each other with utter amazement and thought, “What on earth is going on?”. The most successful launch in the history of network marketing, a company that has been profitable every single month is simply going down overnight?
It just didn’t add up.
Plus, we never really trusted Jason Domingo. We’ve seen his true colors over and over again. My secret dream has always been that Jason would not be part of Zrii (for many reasons I can’t get into).
Anyway, Doug and I asked Jason what he was planning on doing. Jason said he is looking at MonaVie and other new emerging opportunities (keep in mind this was Tuesday night).
I said to Doug, “What the heck? Is this really happening? This is so bizarre!”
The next morning we quickly got dressed and left to Salt Lake City. We were so anxious to get there that Doug didn’t even notice how fast we were going (it is so easy to speed in a beamer). Of course, a police officer clocked us going 90 miles an hour and pulled as over.
Ha,ha. Nice start to the day.
Well, we get to Salt Lake at 12:00. We meet with some of the co-founders and employees of Zrii at a cell phone shop where they were all getting new phones. Doug and I started asking them all kinds of questions trying to find answers. They just kept saying Bill Farley is bad and is running the company to the ground and Zrii is going to be bankrupt which left them with no choice but to take it over.
The funny thing is that Bill Farley has always paid us correctly, never lied to us, and has created one of the greatest opportunities ever seen in the network marketing.
On the other hand, some of the guys leading the charge to overthrow Bill have lied and manipulated us in the past.
Remember what that great teacher once said, “You will know them by their fruits”.
Anyway, we find out that the 10 Stars are having a meeting at a hotel. So Doug and I jump back in the beamer and head over. When we get there we can’t find anybody. We are texting Jason and Kirby asking where they were.
No response.
Finally, we found them by accident meeting in a little room off in a corner of the second floor of the hotel. Doug and I walk in and Jason Domingo looks up and with attitude, pointing his finger at us says,
“Get out”
Yes, you read that right. After driving 13 hours straight and having 20% of the company with no one representing them, Jason had the audacity to say, “Get out”.
I sat with my brother Doug like outcasts fuming that Jason thought he had the authority to put everyone’s lives at stake (including yours).
Once the meeting adjourned, Jason and Tyler came out declaring that Zrii is done.
They made it seem like they had the power to decide if Zrii was going to continue on or go down. They waltzed around the hotel with their cocky arrogance and pride, all the while scheming how they could dismantle the company one by one.
Oh and did we mention that they kept saying Bill Farley was the bad guy?
Yet, it was them who were strategizing on how to take Zrii down (I might add that certain 10 Stars like Seth, Marc, and the Dr.’s were NOT strategizing how to take Zrii down… they wanted Zrii to go on.
In fact, Jason was already creating an email that he was planning on sending to the entire downline telling them to cancel their auto shipments and get on a conference call for further instructions.
Who gave him the right? Who does Jason Domingo think he is to mess with all of our lives; to make decisions for all of us?
Well, Doug and I pleaded with him and told him it would really hurt a lot of people.
We kept asking for the evidence against Bill Farley. None of them seemed to have any and most of them said they hadn’t even seen any evidence… they were just taking Jason’s word.
Can you believe it?
Last time I checked America’s justice system was built on,
“A man is innocent until proven guilty”
But nobody had any evidence.
So Doug and I started little by little to uncover the truth. People had hidden agendas and they were spreading lies (or half truths) about Bill Farley to push their agenda on everyone.
Here’ s what I discovered:
Bill Farley has 100% ownership of Zrii. Some of the co-founders and 10 Stars thought they could overthrow Bill and divvy up the spoils (they justified it because they said Bill Farley was a tyrant and stealing money). They put 60,000 distributors’ lives on the line so that they could get a piece of the pie, so that they could get a few shares in Zrii.
And the only way they could make this work was by coming together (all of the co-founders and 10 Stars) and threaten Bill that if he did not relinquish power they would dismantle Zrii within 30 days.
Bill showed up to work on Monday morning with no one working. Yet, he managed to rebuild his company in one day!
Did you read that. Bill Farley got everything up and running with new employees in one day. Bill truly does not back down in adversity. He knows how to lead a company.
Once Doug and I started to understand the truth we decided to go to the Zrii office. To our surprise one of the main formulators was at the office. We had been told by the conspirators that the formulators were on their side. But, we soon discovered that was a lie as well.
Once we got Bill’s side of the story, we knew that Bill was NOT the bad guy. He was doing everything to piece back the mess the corporate team left and rebuild Zrii so that YOU still received the product and checks.
So what about all the accusations against Bill?
Well, our stance is a person is innocent until proven guilty.
Bill has never done us wrong. The people who did us severely wrong are the conspirators. They thought that they could play around with our lives in the hope that they would get ownership in Zrii and make a lot of money.
Not all the conspirators were bad. Many of them were duped and lied too. The “ring leaders” were the ones with only their best interest at heart. They didn’t really care about you or I (as I think you’re beginning to realize).
So does that mean that none of the accusations against Bill are true?
I don’t know.
All I know is he is running Zrii and making sure your businesses as Zrii I.E.'s stay in tact. Like I said, he has never done any of us wrong.
Doug and I think Zrii is going to be a stronger company now that the “bad” people are out. Zrii is going to shine even brighter.
I know some of you might be wondering what will happen if the accusations against Bill turn out to be true.
Well, I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Remember, Zrii is bigger than any one person. Zrii is NOT Bill Farley. Zrii is YOU.
And quite frankly, I’ve fallen in love with Zrii. I love the culture, the people and the product.
We are NOT leaving.
We are just getting started.
Watch out world… Zrii is about to get through huge adversity which will unite us all. And as a united Zrii nation, nothing will stand in our way.
I’m sure you all have questions. Doug and I have had hundreds of phone calls in the last couple of days so we know people are talking and have many questions.
So we will tell you how it all began.

Is Zrii Going Down... Is Zrii Really Done?

The most inspiring video I've seen...
I normally don't cry.
But, when I watched this video I cried.
"It doesn't matter how you start the race, it's how strong you finish"
Let's remember this video as we all go through our struggles in 2009. Let's lock arms together and never ever give up!
Happy New Year!

Easiest Money I Ever Made...
I've been an avid studier of online marketing for a few years now. I've spent thousands of dollars on courses, books and seminars to learn from the best.
There are a few marketers that I have learned a lot from, one of them being Ann Sieg.
It isn't so much what she taught me... but what I saw her doing. Ann Sieg is one of the pioneers when it comes to internet-network marketing. The last time I talked to Ann she said that network marketing will never be the same now that the internet is in the picture.
I couldn't agree more.
The Zfreedom marketing system is the end result of putting together everything I know about internet marketing with network marketing. It is a tool that gives Zrii distributors a HUGE advantage over just relying on "traditional" recruiting.
Anyway, back to Ann Sieg.
Ann sent me an email a couple months ago that I thought is very relevant for those using the Zfreedom system. I had a gentleman ask me on the last conference call to write a post about how to track his advertisements.
I believe tracking your advertisements is absolutely critical when marketing your business but so few people do it. Instead of me explaining why it is so vital, I thought I would simply share with you the email I received from Ann.
"You probably already know that having a good
conversion rate is your number one concern when
it comes to making money online with your
business.
There is nothing that has a more direct impact on
your bank account than your website's ability to
convert visitors into leads, customers and
distributors.
There's also nothing else that has more of an
influence on WHERE you can advertise...
How much you can afford to PAY for your
advertising...
And what KIND of advertising opportunities are
available to you.
Simply put, it will single-handedly determine
whether or not you succeed or fail in your business.
But what you may be surprised to know is that when
it comes to getting killer conversion rates, the most
important factor is NOT your ads.
It's NOT your emails.
It's NOT your sales letter.
And it's NOT your copywriting skills.
Yep, you read that right.
These are all crucial and you need to master them.
However...
There's another element that has a far greater
impact on whether or not people choose to opt in
to your newsletter, purchase your product, or join
your opportunity (or even click on your ad in the
first place).
You'll want to really let this sink in because it's
dangerously simply. So simple in fact, that most
people never even think about it or they
completely overlook it even if someone tells them
about it. Very few people online actually practice
it diligently. But what I'm about to share with you
may be THE most valuable piece of knowledge
you can have when it comes to getting the most
out of your advertising.
If you understand this concept and you make a
commitment to NEVER advertise again without
taking this into consideration, you'll be able to
routinely achieve conversion rates that most
marketers can only dream about.
You see, when it comes to conversion rates, the
single greatest factor has nothing to do with you...
And EVERYTHING to do with your audience.
What is that factor?
Your traffic sources.
In other words:
---------------------------------
WHERE ARE YOUR CLICKS COMING FROM
AND WHAT KIND OF CLICKS ARE THEY?
---------------------------------
Most people, myself included, assume that all clicks
are created equal and blindly pour tons of time and
money into just getting as many visitors to their site
as they possibly can.
This is one of the most costly mistakes you can
make online.
I wasted a lot of money before I finally figured this
out and it's a lesson that never ceases to amaze me.
It's so counter-intuitive because whenever we think
about how to make more money, the first thing we
always think about is how to improve OUR ability
to convince people to do what we want them to do.
We ask ourselves things like...
"How can I improve my sales presentation?"
Or...
"What's the latest trick or gimmick I could put on
my website that would bring in more sales?"
Or...
"What new headline idea could I come up with that
would cause people to throw their money at me?"
Now don't get me wrong-you can't have a
profitable business without being able to persuade
people to take action and this is the number one
skill you need to develop... BUT... all too often
we forget that it's the prospect - not us - that's
the most important part of the entire equation. And
the key thing to keep in mind about marketing on
the internet is that every different source of traffic,
every different type of click or visitor, is a
completely different type of prospect.
To illustrate this point, think about this: In many
cases, if you get the right person in front of your
message, someone who has been DYING to find
something exactly like what you're offering, they
won't even read your sales letter. They don't even
care. They'll go straight to the bottom and hit the
order button or submit their info.
Just think back to a time when you've made a
purchase like this. I'm sure you can think of a few.
You didn't even have the patience to listen to any
kind of sales message. You wanted the product
NOW.
What if you only targeted groups of people (aka -
traffic sources) like this, as opposed to ones that
require a lot more selling?
How much more profitable (and easier) would that
make your job?
By continually testing and making improvements
to a given marketing piece, like an ad or a website,
you can increase the conversion rate by 50%...
100%... 200%... 300% or more over time.
However, by simply targeting better and more
qualified sources of traffic, you can easily get TEN
TIMES the conversion rate - in some cases basically
overnight - without hardly even trying!
Which is why I say:
"A mediocre sales message given to a red-hot
prospect will ALWAYS give you better results
than a whole bunch of red-hot sales messages
given to an indifferent prospect."
Now, on the surface, this idea of targeting the right
prospects seems pretty straight forward. It doesn't
really sound like there's a whole lot to it.
Just go after people who want to make money from
home right?
But here's where you really have to be careful.
When I first began studying direct response
marketing and I started building my business
online, I mistakenly assumed that as long as I was
advertising on home-based-business-type-websites
or as long as I was bidding on MLM-ish type
keywords, that's all I needed to do.
I had no idea the extent to which this concept of
a "starving crowd" was true and just how far I
needed to take it.
What I failed to realize in the beginning (a big
thank you to John Reese for teaching me this) is
that if you're not tracking the performance of
EACH individual ad or traffic source separately,
not only are you wasting an enormous amount of
money...
But you're also leaving tons more on the table -
money that's just sitting there, waiting for you to
scoop it up.
Experienced direct marketers from the offline
world have known this for years.
Even the greatest sales letter in the world will be
a complete flop if it's mailed to the wrong list of
people (a list being a collection of names and
contact info, for example, subscribers of a golf
magazine). EVEN IF it's a list of people you
would think would be highly interested in your
offer, a list that for all intents and purposes
SHOULD be interested in your offer.
The problem is, even the smartest marketers in the
world can never know for sure what audience will
respond best. They can certainly make educated
guesses and those guesses may turn out to be right
a good percentage of the time, but they never leave
anything to chance without testing it first.
That's why successful direct mailers always send
their promotion to small sample audiences of 1,000-
5,000 people from different lists in order to test the
response BEFORE sending out mass mailings of
100,000 or more letters.
The reason they have to be so careful is because
the cost of making a mistake in the "physical world"
and mailing out a few hundred thousand letters to
the wrong group of people could end up putting
them $100 grand or more in the hole.
But today with the internet, these incredibly high
costs have been removed and ANYONE who wants
to can quickly, easily and cheaply reach thousands
and even millions of potential prospects.
Never before in the history of the world has this
been possible.
But of course there's a flip side to this coin.
Because of the speed, simplicity and low-cost of
the internet...
It's also easier for people to be a lot more careless.
LESS RISK = LESS RESPONSIBILITY.
And this is where 90% of people doing business
online are missing the boat because the most
powerful advantage of the internet isn't the speed
or the low-cost or even the huge reach that it
offers...
----------------------------------
THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE OF THE
INTERNET IS THAT IT'S THE MOST
TRACKABLE ADVERTISING MEDIUM EVER!
----------------------------------
The biggest difference between successful
business owners and unsuccessful ones has always
been that the successful ones track EVERYTHING
they do to make sure it's earning them a return on
their investment.
If it's not, they stop doing it. If it is, they do more
of it.
(This is why MLM companies don't teach their
distributors to track all of their warm market/cold
market prospecting activities. If they did, no one
would do them anymore!)
But for those who want to take a truly scientific
approach to their business, the internet is a dream
come true.
Let me show you what I mean...
For starters, it's important to know that organic
traffic... pay-per-click traffic... banner traffic...
article traffic... press release traffic... blog
traffic... social networking traffic... youtube
traffic... JV traffic... offline-to-online traffic...
viral traffic... and any other type of traffic you
can think of, ALL convert differently.
And an ad or website that works great with one
of them, very well could, but may not work so well
with others.
Here are a couple extreme examples just to show
you the vast difference between all these types of
traffic.
One of the best ways to generate a lot of leads or
sales in a short period of time is to have someone
recommend your offer to their list of subscribers
(this is known as a joint venture or endorsed
mailing).
In one instance I did this with a newsletter owner
who had a very high-quality list of subscribers.
The offer I was making on my website in this
case was actually to opt in for my free newsletter.
The promotion ended up with an almost-
unbelievable 87% of the people who visited my
site taking me up on my offer!
I then did it again with another joint venture, a
different list of subscribers, and this time "only"
54% of the visitors opted in for my newsletter.
Then, I took this exact same website and advertised
it using pay-per-click listings on one of the smaller
search engines and it got a not-so-exciting 6.5%
average conversion rate.
Keep in mind, all this traffic, all of these visitors,
were within the make-money-from-home crowd -
people who should have all been interested in my
offer.
Now, I could invest time into improving the
conversion rate for the "6.5%" traffic source... or...
I could invest time into finding more "54%" and
"87%" traffic sources.
It's not that I DON'T want to work on improving
the "6.5%" conversion rate, but out of those two
options, if I was pressed for time (and who isn't?)
and I had to choose, which one would bring me the
greatest return in the shortest period of time?
Like I said, that's an extreme example and the
difference isn't always so big since good joint
venture traffic is just about the most qualified type
of traffic you can get (aside from your own list of
subscribers). It's also not always easy to find.
So what about within the same individual traffic
generation techniques themselves?
You already saw the huge difference in conversions
between two separate lists of subscribers...
What about pay-per-click?
Did you know that in many cases, especially in our
industry, Yahoo traffic usually converts better than
Google traffic?
What about even more specific than that?
When I say track every traffic source separately, I
don't just mean individual traffic generation
techniques or even just individual ads... I mean
every KEYWORD (if it applies).
This is where it gets really interesting -- and
super profitable. Here are some specific keyword
examples that I have bid on over the years.
In these examples I wasn't promoting a free offer
either, but a couple different paid products.
-----------------------------------------
networkmarketing . com = 10.2% conv. rate
vs.
network marketing = 3.33% conv. rate
-----------------------------------------
Isn't that amazing?
Same industry. Exact same website/message. Same
traffic technique. Even the same keyword almost.
Totally different mindset.
This one's insightful:
------------------------------------
network marketing = 3.33% conv. rate
vs.
MLM = 1.27% conv. rate
------------------------------------
Now, a 3.33% conversion rate over a 1.27% one
may not seem huge, but it makes all the difference
in the world.
It's the difference between being able to pay $3.00
for your clicks vs. $.50.
It's the difference between having a prime spot on
page one vs. being buried on page four.
It's the difference between hauling in hundreds of
leads every month like clockwork vs. having a
trickle of five or six to work with.
---------------------------------
free MLM leads = 1.96% conv. rate
vs.
MLM leads = 4.13% conv. rate
---------------------------------
This one doesn't really surprise me too much
because I would assume that someone who types
in "free MLM leads" is less likely to be interested in
learning how to generate their own leads as
opposed to someone who types in "MLM leads."
But here's a weird one for you...
----------------------------------------
multi level marketing = 1.79% conv. rate
vs.
multilevelmarketing = 14.29% conv. rate
----------------------------------------
Why is this?
Who knows.
I have a few theories, but all that really matters is
that for the last two years I've been getting almost
eight times the conversion rate from the keyword
"multilevelmarketing" with no spaces vs the
normal keyword "multi level marketing."
(Something tells me there's going to be a lot more
competition for this keyword, starting tomorrow
morning. :)
And one more...
If you're savvy about pay-per-click, this one's to
illustrate the importance of using different match
types. (If you're not, that's okay too - it's still just
illustrating the bigger point of tracking). This
shows the difference between exact match and
broad match (I see this all the time by the way,
with many, many different keywords).
-----------------------------------------------
[network marketing business] = 12.5% conv. rate
vs.
network marketing business = 1.66% conv. rate
-----------------------------------------------
What if you were advertising and you DIDN'T
know this information?
What if you were paying $.15 for a keyword that
converts at 2% and more than twice as much for a
keyword that only converts at .8%?
Or what if you were paying through the nose to
have your ads placed on a website that hasn't
yielded a single prospect in the last 4 months and
you had no idea about it?
How much money would you be wasting?
A lot.
If you're not doing this right now,
you need to be. You're really operating in the dark
until you are. And you won't fully realize it until
you actually start doing it.
Then you'll look back and say, "How in the world
could I have gone so long without doing this? I
must have been insane!"
What's really scary about this whole thing is that
if there's THAT much of a difference in conversion
rates between different groups of people who are
all LOOKING for information about network
marketing...
How bad are the conversion rates for people who
have no interest in MLM whatsoever or who just
want to be left alone?
People like friends and coworkers or dead-beat
"opportunity leads" that just requested info about
making money from home because they wanted
a free iPod.
It really sheds a whole new light on this business
of sponsoring and recruiting doesn't it?
But even more important than the money you're
wasting by not tracking is the money you're
missing out on...
When you're able to pinpoint those advertising
sources that are bringing you the absolute highest
return on your dollar and you focus all your money
and efforts on them, it's very powerful.
The greatest and fastest increase in profits I've ever
experienced with the least amount of effort was
when I started tracking individual traffic sources.
------------------------------------
IT WAS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE EASIEST
MONEY I'VE EVER MADE.
------------------------------------
But the best part about this strategy, is that this is
something you can go implement RIGHT NOW
and immediately see dramatic results from (not to
mention the tools you need to do it are free).
Most of the activities in business that really make
you a lot of money require a good amount of
learning and skill development.
This is not one of them.
This is something that anyone can quickly and
easily put to use, today, with no learning curve, and
in some cases, if you're currently doing a decent of
amount of advertising, produce huge results
literally overnight - as was the case for me.
On the other hand, if you're just getting started
learning how to generate your own leads, you're
way ahead of the ballgame.
It's pretty easy to see how a savvy marketer who
focuses on highly qualified pockets of traffic that
convert like crazy can dance circles around
everyone else who's just randomly throwing stuff
out there and hoping some of it works"
Okay... I hope you have a better understanding on why I believe so much in tracking your advertisements.
Here's the good news. With the Zfreedom system you can EASILY track every ad you do (ppc, article marketing, magazine ad, newspaper, etc.)...
This is how it is done:
http://username.zfreedom.com/promocode
All you do is ad / to the end of your link and call your advertisement whatever you want which would replace the "promocode".
For instance, if I was doing a Pay-per-click ad on Zrii I would do this:
http://dave.zfreedom.com/zrii
Now, all the traffic that comes from that source will show up in my Zfreedom back office as being from my zrii ad.
THIS IS SO POWERFUL! All of those who are doing their own marketing should be utilizing this tool.
To check your promo traffic just scroll over the "Reports" tab in the Zfreedom back office and click on "Business Site Promo"- that will give you a break down of all your percentages so that you can see how your ads are doing.
I bet you've just learned what 99.99% of network marketers have NO clue about.
Zfreedom.com
There are a few marketers that I have learned a lot from, one of them being Ann Sieg.

Here are a couple extreme examples just to show

One of the best ways to generate a lot of leads or
sales in a short period of time is to have someone
recommend your offer to their list of subscribers
(this is known as a joint venture or endorsed
mailing).
In one instance I did this with a newsletter owner
who had a very high-quality list of subscribers.
The offer I was making on my website in this
case was actually to opt in for my free newsletter.
The promotion ended up with an almost-
unbelievable 87% of the people who visited my
site taking me up on my offer!
I then did it again with another joint venture, a
different list of subscribers, and this time "only"
54% of the visitors opted in for my newsletter.
Then, I took this exact same website and advertised
it using pay-per-click listings on one of the smaller
search engines and it got a not-so-exciting 6.5%
average conversion rate.
Keep in mind, all this traffic, all of these visitors,
were within the make-money-from-home crowd -
people who should have all been interested in my
offer.
Now, I could invest time into improving the
conversion rate for the "6.5%" traffic source... or...
I could invest time into finding more "54%" and
"87%" traffic sources.
It's not that I DON'T want to work on improving
the "6.5%" conversion rate, but out of those two
options, if I was pressed for time (and who isn't?)
and I had to choose, which one would bring me the
greatest return in the shortest period of time?
Like I said, that's an extreme example and the
difference isn't always so big since good joint
venture traffic is just about the most qualified type
of traffic you can get (aside from your own list of
subscribers). It's also not always easy to find.
So what about within the same individual traffic
generation techniques themselves?
You already saw the huge difference in conversions
between two separate lists of subscribers...
What about pay-per-click?
Did you know that in many cases, especially in our
industry, Yahoo traffic usually converts better than
Google traffic?
What about even more specific than that?
When I say track every traffic source separately, I
don't just mean individual traffic generation
techniques or even just individual ads... I mean
every KEYWORD (if it applies).
This is where it gets really interesting -- and
super profitable. Here are some specific keyword
examples that I have bid on over the years.
In these examples I wasn't promoting a free offer
either, but a couple different paid products.
-----------------------------------------
networkmarketing . com = 10.2% conv. rate
vs.
network marketing = 3.33% conv. rate
-----------------------------------------
Isn't that amazing?
Same industry. Exact same website/message. Same
traffic technique. Even the same keyword almost.
Totally different mindset.
This one's insightful:
------------------------------------
network marketing = 3.33% conv. rate
vs.
MLM = 1.27% conv. rate
------------------------------------
Now, a 3.33% conversion rate over a 1.27% one
may not seem huge, but it makes all the difference
in the world.
It's the difference between being able to pay $3.00
for your clicks vs. $.50.
It's the difference between having a prime spot on
page one vs. being buried on page four.
It's the difference between hauling in hundreds of
leads every month like clockwork vs. having a
trickle of five or six to work with.
---------------------------------
free MLM leads = 1.96% conv. rate
vs.
MLM leads = 4.13% conv. rate
---------------------------------
This one doesn't really surprise me too much
because I would assume that someone who types
in "free MLM leads" is less likely to be interested in
learning how to generate their own leads as
opposed to someone who types in "MLM leads."
But here's a weird one for you...
----------------------------------------
multi level marketing = 1.79% conv. rate
vs.
multilevelmarketing = 14.29% conv. rate
----------------------------------------
Why is this?
Who knows.
I have a few theories, but all that really matters is
that for the last two years I've been getting almost
eight times the conversion rate from the keyword
"multilevelmarketing" with no spaces vs the
normal keyword "multi level marketing."
(Something tells me there's going to be a lot more
competition for this keyword, starting tomorrow
morning. :)
And one more...
If you're savvy about pay-per-click, this one's to
illustrate the importance of using different match
types. (If you're not, that's okay too - it's still just
illustrating the bigger point of tracking). This
shows the difference between exact match and
broad match (I see this all the time by the way,
with many, many different keywords).
-----------------------------------------------
[network marketing business] = 12.5% conv. rate
vs.
network marketing business = 1.66% conv. rate
-----------------------------------------------
What if you were advertising and you DIDN'T
know this information?
What if you were paying $.15 for a keyword that
converts at 2% and more than twice as much for a
keyword that only converts at .8%?
Or what if you were paying through the nose to
have your ads placed on a website that hasn't
yielded a single prospect in the last 4 months and
you had no idea about it?
How much money would you be wasting?
A lot.
If you're not doing this right now,
you need to be. You're really operating in the dark
until you are. And you won't fully realize it until
you actually start doing it.
Then you'll look back and say, "How in the world
could I have gone so long without doing this? I
must have been insane!"
What's really scary about this whole thing is that
if there's THAT much of a difference in conversion
rates between different groups of people who are
all LOOKING for information about network
marketing...
How bad are the conversion rates for people who
have no interest in MLM whatsoever or who just
want to be left alone?
People like friends and coworkers or dead-beat
"opportunity leads" that just requested info about
making money from home because they wanted
a free iPod.
It really sheds a whole new light on this business
of sponsoring and recruiting doesn't it?
But even more important than the money you're
wasting by not tracking is the money you're
missing out on...
When you're able to pinpoint those advertising
sources that are bringing you the absolute highest
return on your dollar and you focus all your money
and efforts on them, it's very powerful.
The greatest and fastest increase in profits I've ever
experienced with the least amount of effort was
when I started tracking individual traffic sources.
------------------------------------
IT WAS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE EASIEST
MONEY I'VE EVER MADE.
------------------------------------
But the best part about this strategy, is that this is
something you can go implement RIGHT NOW
and immediately see dramatic results from (not to
mention the tools you need to do it are free).
Most of the activities in business that really make
you a lot of money require a good amount of
learning and skill development.
This is not one of them.
This is something that anyone can quickly and
easily put to use, today, with no learning curve, and
in some cases, if you're currently doing a decent of
amount of advertising, produce huge results
literally overnight - as was the case for me.
On the other hand, if you're just getting started
learning how to generate your own leads, you're
way ahead of the ballgame.
It's pretty easy to see how a savvy marketer who
focuses on highly qualified pockets of traffic that
convert like crazy can dance circles around
everyone else who's just randomly throwing stuff
out there and hoping some of it works"
Okay... I hope you have a better understanding on why I believe so much in tracking your advertisements.
Here's the good news. With the Zfreedom system you can EASILY track every ad you do (ppc, article marketing, magazine ad, newspaper, etc.)...
This is how it is done:
http://username.zfreedom.com/promocode
All you do is ad / to the end of your link and call your advertisement whatever you want which would replace the "promocode".
For instance, if I was doing a Pay-per-click ad on Zrii I would do this:
http://dave.zfreedom.com/zrii
Now, all the traffic that comes from that source will show up in my Zfreedom back office as being from my zrii ad.
THIS IS SO POWERFUL! All of those who are doing their own marketing should be utilizing this tool.
To check your promo traffic just scroll over the "Reports" tab in the Zfreedom back office and click on "Business Site Promo"- that will give you a break down of all your percentages so that you can see how your ads are doing.
I bet you've just learned what 99.99% of network marketers have NO clue about.

Article Marketing...An Internet Marketer's Friend
Ever heard of article marketing? If not, you are in for a special treat today. Article marketing is probably one of the best ways to drive traffic to any website without ever having to spend a dime! Just think what kind of leverage you could have by writing a few articles that get circulated throughout the internet and search engines for years to come...and when people read them they can click on your link to visit your OGW lead capture page.
What is an article and where do you submit them? An article is simply a write up about any topic...could be network marketing, health, nutrition, zrii, amalaki...the list goes on. Most articles are around 300-500 words in length. The best articles are ones that have good solid content that people are interested in. In other words, your article should be fairly informative to the reader. You can submit articles to any article directory on the internet for FREE! But, in my opinion the best one is http://ezinearticles.com
Anytime you are writing an article there are a few basic things to remember. First, you want your content to be keyword rich. That means that if you are talking about amalaki then your article should have the keyword amalaki in it many times...maybe even amalaki juice or amalaki berry and so on. HINT: Put as many of your keywords as possible in the title of your article.
Second, don't worry about what to write. People want to hear your thoughts so just put them on paper...tell people what you know about a certain topic or interest. You'll be surprised at how many people enjoy reading your thoughts. Third, use keyword phrases NOT just keywords. For example, "Zrii review" is a keyword phrase.
Remember, you want someone to type a keyword or keyword phrase into google and have your article come up. For instance, at the time I'm writing this blog post, if you typed, "deepak chopra zrii" into google my article is the first one to come up. Pretty cool, huh? And the best part is that it only took me around 25 mintues to write and I haven't paid a dime.
So how do you get traffic to your site by writing articles? Good question. Every time you write an article you get to include a resource box or bio at the end of your article. In that resource box you will present yourself as a professional network marketer and have your url to your OGW lead capture page available for people to click on.
Does it work? Well, instead of me just saying, "yeah, of course it works"...how about I show you real statistics. Sound good?
O.k. so here are the stats to date:
I've written around 8 articles. I've had 351 visitors to my site and 21 prospects (people that have given me their contact information). Not bad, considering that I have it on auto pilot and just follow up with people that are interested in the Zrii opportunity. Out of those prospects I've had a couple of sign ups.
But, it even gets better. After you write an article it stays in circulation for a very long time. I've heard of some people receiving traffic for years from one article!
So when you have some spare time, sit down and write a few articles. Have fun doing it and watch people come to you!
Ps. Here is a tip for those who HATE to write. Go to http://elance.com and you can post a project where other people will write for you. It does cost a little but if you don't mind paying someone it can save you a lot of time.
Pps. For that tip you can just hug me next time you see me :)
