CE Marketing: California Duo Crack “The Google Slap” Code for the Home Business Industry; PPC Supremacy is Live till 12PM Today and Then is Closed for…?Two California-based Internet marketers open the doors tomorrow on the much-anticipated “PPC Supremacy”, a training which promises to solve the web-traffic “drought” the home business industry has suffered recently. http://bit.ly/cKzG42
MADISON, AL, September 01, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ — “Affiliate marketers, network marketers, and home business entrepreneurs in particular have been hit hard over the past 18 months and traffic for them has been scarce,” says Jim Yaghi, one of the trainers spearheading the PPC-focused training.
PPC or Pay-Per-Click advertising has been traditionally the most valuable source of traffic for online entrepreneurs. 29-year-old David Schwind, who worked closely with Yaghi in building the training series, says, “Changes in consumer laws have made it difficult for systems that rely solely on affiliate traffic to do business. With most of their affiliates WIPED off of major advertising platforms like Google and Facebook, the system owners are struggling to stay alive.”
Online merchant providers and advertising platforms are responding to pressure from the government to police their clientele. Their approval procedures have become increasingly strict, qualification more difficult, and penalties far more severe.
“Google, which has been a major supplier of traffic begun to permanently ban advertisers found in violation without warning. But that’s not all–we’ve even heard that Bing and Facebook are doing the same now as they too try to clean up the Internet of get rich quick claims and illusive offers aimed at collecting personal data,” says Jim.
“We’ve run experiments and case studies for about 2 years to track the causes of the problems and dissected how to resolve them all. We’ve even consulted with internet lawyers to help bring the information in a simple and digestable way to our students.”
David Schwind and Jim Yaghi reportedly generate as much as 3,000 leads in a single day from a variety of pay-per-click platforms. Their course, titled “Operation: PPC Supremacy” goes live for sale on August 31st and opens for only 24 hours. The buzz surrounding its release has been building for over 3 months as the two California residents leaked sample training.
“Yeah, a lot of our friends told us we gave away too much free content from the course–but we wanted people to see instant results so they would understand how much our course is going to change the course of their business,” says Schwind.
An excited Yaghi continues, “This training is our baby. There’s been a real lack of good traffic training lately–and we’ve had many sleepless weeks as we worked day and night to share this with everyone.”
PPC Supremacy is live at http://bit.ly/cKzG42 and closes 12 noon Eastern Time September 1st, 2010, Today.

WANTED! A MLM Business Opportunity With Real Products
Posted by: | Comments
You are about to disover the first and only MLM business opportunity that actually markets REAL, valuable assets that appreciate, not depreciate.
Are you one of those opportunity seekers that sees visions of Shamway products piled up in a closet, or spilling over into the garage when you think of MLM? Have you tried gifting and regifting all of your autoship products for birthdays, wedding gifts, and in some cases, funeral gifts with little or no success? If you can vividly see the box after box of “stuff” piled up, then I have a solution for you.
You have no idea that a mlm business exists with products that actually increase in value instead of dropping value. They drop value worse than a driving a brand new car off the lot.
The more and more you review this page the more you begin to find yourself with a new sense of hope for the home business industry. You’ll see visions of success because you actually have found a legitimate home business worth talking to your friends and family about. Without any further a-do, I present to you:
Numis Network
The company’s primary products are graded numismatic coins. Many people collect these coins as a hobby, but the collectible coin business is a $100 Billion Dollar Global industry. Do me a favor and think of the 10 people that are closest to you? You see them? Do you think they are gonna complain about having a closet or garage full of gold and silver coins? Heck NO! If I came over to their house and told them I was going to give them some of our autoship products, would they turn me down? Heck NO!
And their lies the beauty of Numis. They sell products that have real value and no shelf life. Let’s face it, all MLM companies have a mark up on their products. It doesn’t matter if you are buying vitamins for $25 or some juice for $50. They are part of a model that produces millionaires every year. With that being said, would you rather have a closet of coins or juice and vitamins? I know which one I would choose.
I don’t look at these coins as an investment, but a collection of assets that will at a minimum hold their value. Not to say there isn’t money to be made on selling the coins in a retail market. A friend of mine and incredible marketer, David Schwind, sold enough of these coins on Ebay to pay for his trip to the “No Excuses” event in Vegas a couple of months ago. If any of you know of David, his Vegas trips are definately not cheap. Now, I’m not saying that everyone can go out and sell these coins and make money on them like David, but this is just one instance of several I know of where this has happened.
Almost perfect, is how I would describe the Numis network. As close to it as any MLM business opportunity will ever come.
Don’t let procrastination, hestitaion or fear stop you from improving your life, and
look at Numis Today!
TRUTH: In The MLM Business, You’re Screwing Up If…
Posted by: | Commentsyou’re one of the hundred people I just talked to that thinks social media is THE gateway to success in your mlm business.
So, I’m sitting in the airport in Vegas (after missing my damn flight) reflecting on the last couple of days I spent at the BadASss No Excuses Summit. My head is still spinning from all of the connections made and relationships born.
However, one thing is still pissing me off. If I hear one more person tell me “Yea, my main traffic strategy is social media” I’m gonna puke. Look, if you’ve read this blog at all, you know I’m not one to beat around the bush.
So, here it is…
Social Media SUCKS!!! Facebook PPC…. What a damn joke? No, let me take that back, it’s only a joke if you’re trying to market a mlm business with it. You can do good with info products, but not your biz opp.
Try it, go ahead and let me know when you don’t convert so I can tell you I told u so. I sat at the conference listening to speaker after speaker pump up social media this, Facebook PPC that and was pulling my hair out (which isn’t good since I’m already balding)!
Quit fooling people already. Social media and all things related should be part of your marketing strategy, but a very small one. Brand, interact, and spread content, don’t be fooled into thinking the answer to your home biz prayers is going to be found in the social media space.
Sure, sure, there are people who have made their names as “Social media” gurus, but hands down, the top marketing strategy is PAID TRAFFIC. If you can’t prepare yourself for that, then you should probably just stay at your J-O-B (I got a little sick even typing that word) because there is one universal success tool in this biz and it is paying for traffic.
Is that weird coming from an SEO guy?
Maybe, but I’m smart enough to realize that I can use SEO to drive traffic,but I’m not relying on it as my main traffic strategy. It’s not consistent and you won’t build a substantial list quickly. Over time, you can generate a lot of leads with SEO, but I look at my leads from it as a bonus. My bread and butter for income and consistency is paid.
“But Eric, I only have a limited amount of funds.” Welcome to club. You have to make use of your resources that you have and get your feet wet in paid traffic. You can only spend $5 a day. Spend $5 a day and start collecting statistics, tweaking, and testing. No, you won’t get 100 leads a day, but you will be getting valuable info that no amount of time on FB, YT, or any of that other crap will give you.
I use social media, but sparingly. I don’t care if I get any leads from it, I just connect with prospects that come in from my paid traffic and use it as a platform to build rapport and relationships.
Hmmmmm. Maybe I shouldn’t have disclosed my location.
Anyway, if you are marketing your mlm business online and just don’t know where to start, I have some great news. There is an EASY button and it comes in the form the the Ultimate Sales Funnel. You need a sales funnel to market online as a place to capture and convert leads. If you don’t have one, you must get one. Don’t want the labor pains, just the baby? Then the USF is right up your alley.
Let the trashing begin,
P.S. I’m not angry, just don’t like people being misled. I know we are marketers, but come on! Social media, really? I guess, to each his own.
P.P.S. Get the Google Switch If You Haven’t Already. How hard is that? There is a link to it right there ———————>>>>>
Here’s A Random Happy 4th of July and an Oil Covered Rant
Posted by: | CommentsSo, I’m holed away in an undisclosed location (on East 2nd Avenue) in Gulf Shores, Alabama. My family and I arrived last night for what was supposed to be a economy booster for the local economy in the form of a FREE concert. Well, that’s not how it worked out. After talking to Chris Owen on the drive down, he gave me the best summary of my situation:
I’m in Gulf Shores to go to a concert that got cancelled, can’t go to the beach because of some D.A.s <— = BP or they’ve Basically Pissed me off by their handling of this oil spill, and to top it off, in the middle of a hurricane. Love IT!
Anyway, Happy 4th Of July
And remember, BP Sucks!
So You’re Gonna Get Your Real Estate Agent License. Bad Timing, Great Potential!
Posted by: | Comments
So you’ve made the decision to get your real estate agent license. You probably have a myriad of reasons for choosing this new or supplemental career path. Well, there is some good news and some not so good news.
The Good
Let’s start with the good news first. The appeal of the real estate business is the potential incomes and time freedom of being your own boss. An average selling commission in the U.S. can be anywhere from $4,000 to $5,000 for a $150,000 house. Sell one of those a month and most people would be sitting in high cotton. There are tax benefits of being in business for yourself that can help offset and earned income from a regular J-O-B. There are a handful of people in this country making huge commissions every year, but probably less than 3% of the whole industry.
The Not So Good
Now for some not so good news. The real estate market, in general, stinks right now. Sure, there are people with stockpiles of cash getting even more wealthy right now, but for the most part there are only crumbs left for everyone else to split. What about the start up costs: prelicensing courses, licensing courses, Continuing Education Courses, advertising/ marketing expenses, brokerage fees, desk fees, just to name a few. The front end money to get into the business is a substantial amount for most people. Once you get your real estate agent license you are face with the realities of coming up with buyers or sellers and the fact that you are competing with people that have been established in the industry for years. If you do some things right, you can get some buyers or list some properties, but then you fight one other battle. Can buyers get financing? It doesn’t matter whether they are your clients or potentials for a listing you have. The mortage regulations have tightened to a point that perfect credit and substantial cash for down money are becoming the norm for approvals.
The real estate business is no different than any other business in that only the strong survive, and especially in the current market we are facing. The attrition rate for new agents in the last two years has to be over 50% because of the factors above. It is not all bad though, if your heart is really set on getting you real estate license, then you must find an alternative income source to supplement the startup of your real estate business. If you can find an alternative that will sustain you while the market takes is corrective measures and begins to start moving forward again you will be able to do a few things.
Some More Good
First, you will have the opportunity to learn the ropes of the real estate business in a poor market. Meaning, if you can find some success right now, then when the market completely turns, you will be set up perfectly to capitalize.
Second, you can begin to establish a brand for yourself within the real estate market and really carve out a niche for yourself. When we started building homes, we tried to compete with some of the bigger builders, but quickly found that finding a certain niche, no matter the size, was a lot better than trying to go toe to toe with the big boys right off the bat.
The purpose of this post is not to deter you from anything, but to simply bring into the light the good, bad, and ugly of the industry as it sits right now. Can you be successful? Absolutely! Can you do it on real estate alone right now? I just don’t see how with the scarcity of qualified buyers out there right now. Also, interest rates are probably poised to go up. Even an incremental change in rates will effect a whole other classification of buyers.
What do you think of my assessment? Should I be checking myself into the crazy home? Or is there some truth to what I’ve written?
You be the judge,
