Breaking that Free member mindset.

Hey folks,
In this installment of the training forum we will be talking about the freebie mindset and breaking the mold. See for years I was known as the free stuff Guru, because I used free systems and websites to promote and build through affiliate links and start developing a mailing list. You talk about hard work, what I do now is nothing compared to what I did then.

Here's a little history for you. See I had to get good at generating traffic quick. I used 1 main traffic exchange that would 25% of my referrals traffic to my account and used 5-7 other traffic exchanges to get 30+ members into that exchange. This would send about 4000 extra hits to my free geosite from Yahoo, or later on my Freewebs or Tripod sites. I started using a free auto responder and capturing leads and amassing free e-books and software to give away to get sign ups. At one time I had over 12,000 in my list until the auto responder company went out of business.

Now, tons of traffic does not amount to much if you are using free traffic to promote free offers, and I had no upgraded programs at the time. I made a little income from PPC boards like Adsense and from traditional affiliate programs like Commission Junction and Pricester's Mambo.

That money allowed me to get my first paid domain andersonspecialty.net which I have since done away with because I couldn't move it from where it was hosted and that hosting was the worst I ever used. With my own domain I was able to start building a search engine rank and added a blog before blog marketing was popular. I was around 12,000 visitors a month and making about 40-50 a month in profits.

I had a lucky break, and a friend brought me to Money Train, and since I was struggling and didn't have the money to join, the owner says hey, you have the passion, and tools to make money online, but don't have the money to get started. Like an idiot I said I am in 12 programs that are free to join and any one of them could pay me thousand's. I was laughed at and she told me straight up. We need to break your freebie mindset. I was embarrassed when she asked me, "What's a 90% commission on Free?".

I didn't have the cash to join anything, even TMC where it was $25 one time. She amazed me and said if you do me 3 things I will let you in free. these task were, 1 Work harder than ever before, and 2 never stop learning, and 3 when the time comes, do this for someone else. So now you know why I do this forum, and now you know why I opened the doors to my friends at Adland and offered free access to my paid membership website.

See, we all start out about the same. Even if we start in a paid program we go along advertising in free programs to free members seeking free stuff and hoping to make money. It's the American Dream to get rich quick and we will fall for any offer that say zero investment earn the moon. These companies fill with 100,000+ people selling their products and build a high search engine ranking. They get millions of visitors and buyers without an affiliate sending them to the site. They also get about 4-5 thousand sales a month, but usually 90% of the affiliates walk away before they qualify for their first paycheck.

They may offer 50% commissions but the fact is they save millions on advertising and pay less than 2% of total sales to affiliates. Check the stats and you will see I am right on this. See when 100,000 affiliates send 1,000 visitors a week to a website that's 40 million hits a month and an easy number one ranking. Since we advertise in traffic exchanges and safe list, we are targeting other marketers, not buyers. We build huge down lines of people promoting to other people who don't buy a thing.

So, how to break that mindset? The first step is to look for companies that are either 100% paid membership or offer an upgrade package. Begin networking with paid to join forums and advertising resources, but don't get in debt. Start out with a few flyers around your town, when you make a sale buy business cards and hand them to cashiers and friends, and even leave one with the tip at the local diner. A couple more sales and you take out an ad in the white sheet, then the newspaper. Move up to some PPC ads online, 30-60 a month budget, but focus on buyers, people who have broke the freebie mindset and are willing to invest in their future.

Our ZTCUSA program is about marketing to a group of people who have broke that freebie mindset, and learning how to help others break the mold. We teach things like co-op advertising, a profit partnerships. Small and home based business owners working together to maximized their advertising campaigns and generate multiple stream income.

Now, I have one last warning. Your company you are with will probably tell you can not succeed if we are not your only business. Hog Wash!!! See they don't want you to have a secondary income for several reasons. First off, they don't want you to find something better and leave, and second they want you to spend 20 years trying to become a millionaire while earning slightly more than your old 9-5, they want you to be dependant on them for 10 years or more.
They do not want you to get rich I guarantee you.

What? They say they want you to get rich, but rich people become business owners or retire, and they want you to make sales and keep making sales for years to come. It cost more money to train and support a new affiliate than it does to pay your commission check on 12 sales a month. They need you to be happy and comfortable enough to never strive for more. They want you to live in fear of losing what you have so you never take a chance and expand your home business.

Look at your company close. Most offer revenues from more than one product, multi stream income. Most offer links to paid services like leads and traffic they earn money from, multi stream income, and if they are publicly held, check the annual report and you will see they own stake in other companies and report income from dividends. They can have multiple stream income and you can't? Your company does not want you to get rich, they don't want you to retire, they want you to work.

Break the freebie mindset and you will start earning what you are worth, it's not a way, it's the only way.

4 Tips For Creating A Global Home Business.
by Andy Anderson

Global Business Networking the foundation of success is here.

Global networking and training combines with world class
support. Build your business with our service and earn passive
secondary income from your advertising.

1. Global Business Networking

Bringing your online business to the global marketplace
requires developing international partnerships. The first step
in achieving this comes from knowing where and how to make these
contacts. Zeus Team Concepts and its owner Andy "Zeus" Anderson
have been doing this for years.

Our online community is focused on providing you both training
and contacts to become successful in any business venture. In the
meantime we also provide the means to earn income from sharing
ZTCUSA with others. Our membership is a paid membership and with
just 2 referrals you will be in profit.

Why a paid community when there are so many free ones out
there? Research has proven that those who have invested in their
financial growth and future are 12 times more likely to invest
again. You can spend your day trying to sell your products to
free members looking for free offers and hoping to get rich from
them, or you can market your offer to our group of confimed
paying members and experience a high return on your investment
of time.

Another benefit to paid membership is that most SPAMMERS will
not consider a paid membership site as a target. Our membership
is better moderated, and safer to use. We have the means to
review each offer and drastically reduce the odds of you falling
victim to scam artist and we provide a family friendly business
community.

2. Home business training.

Most company offered training plans cover only the basics of
their business. They teach you nothing about lead capture, using
promotion tools, prospecting, and no way of learning the success
secrets of their top earners. The fact is they don't care if you
make 10 dollars or 10 million because even if you fail to make a
dime they get their name branded for free.

Our service allows you to learn from a growing database of
training topics, and more importantly, learn from those very
same people you aspire to be like. From newbies to top earners,
they all come to ZTCUSA to share secrets of success and build
lasting partnerships. Come see this for yourself, and you will
know there is no place on the planet like ZTCUSA.com.

3. Creating strategic partnerships.

Ever see those sites like Jane Doe and John X present The XYZ
to success, and once you join the main site you need to join 5
or more other programs to make the system work? How about a
website with a main topic and a seperate relater offer in the
sub text, when you go to the other site the fields reverse and
you are sent back to the first offer.

Think about e-books and all those links, and watch a
advertising co-op in action. Strategic partnerships benifit
business owners and help you get the most out of your
advertising dollar. It could be that you have a website with
poor graphics and someone needs a partner that can write ad copy
like you do to go with a great set of graphics they have. In
return for writing the ads they need they add graphics to your
website and your sales take off.

We can teach you the art of joint venturing as it applies to
all aspects of your business. We can also help you meet people
to partner with, and show you how to build those partnerships
into long lasting enterprise.

4. Earn money while promoting your current business.

Your current business is your pride and joy. too many offers
cause you to take focus off of it to make a buck or two, or even
to build the advertising network first.

With ZTCUSA.com you pay a monthly membership, and 2 people
earn commissions off that membership and ZTC get's a portion of
profits from that sale. Now, we have made it simple to not only
get that money back each month but to get to a position of
profits from just 2 referrals.

What's more, is that we actually put our profit to work for
you and pay back members 40% of the profits on more than 30,000
products and services we offer. Most companies will only put
your hard earned dollars to work for them, but we see you as an
investor in our success and in return share that success with
our members.

By sending people to ZTCUSA you help us build a stronger
advertising budget and create more sales. What is even better is
that for every person you send, there is one more person to
network with and share your existing opportunity. It's like
advertising that pays you.

The timing is right to shape your tomorrow, the only question
left is will you let this opportunity pass you by? Come take our
30 day test drive and see how we set your business apart from the
crowd.

We help you with

Creating strategic partnerships.
Home business training.
Adding passive secondary income.
World Class Support.

Seach Engine Advertising gets better. Coming soon.

Hello and welcome,

On March 20th a new search engine leader will be taking one Google and Yahoo for your advertising dollar and the time to get in is now. With budgets as low as $5 and no contracts, the field is wide open for small and large business to gain massive traffic from the most cheat proof search platform every devised.

Easy Search Live is here, and signing advertisers and affiliates today. On March 20th they will officially launch and one of the first advertisers was Google itself. Why would that happen? Plain and simple Google is worried about the potential for loss of advertising dollars to Easy Search Live. Adsence is un-secure for advertisers, you look at your stats and you will find hundreds of clicks from the same IP, you will find one site with 300 clicks a day off 300 visitors a day. You will see one IP clicking through the same ad 2-3 times a day.

This blog has had adsence ad boxes for a short time, and a less reputable webmaster could be taking you for every advertising dollar you spend. I could list more than 100 soft-wares that would auto click, 50 websites like adsence exchange that a webmaster can go to and click the ad boxes on other sites and in return the other webmasters click on the boxes in that webmasters website.

There are more than 1,000 e-books on how to cheat Adsence, Google, and you the advertiser. Click fraud is in the millions of dollars and you are being robbed blind.

Easy search live is changing all of that. They track the IP, not a cookie that can be deleted by clearing the cache on the browser. The same IP is tracked for number of daily clicks on all ads, it is banned from clicking the same ad more than once in 24 hours. IPs will be banned for over use and abuse. I mentions those dreaded click exchanges that promote fraudulent clicks. They are seen by the system as referrers and too many visitors clicking from one site and that IP is turned off and the webmaster earns nothing from that site’s traffic.

The webmasters in the affiliate program have to get traffic through legitimate means, and the sites that are set up for them are targeted websites. No more seeing your ads for cars on sites about pollution controls. No more advertising doll houses on sites about birth control or abortion. Each website submitted is reviewed by a real live person for inclusion to make sure it is in the right category and the keywords are related, and the same applies to each affiliate site in the system.

Easy Search live has more security features and is built around a sound philosophy of saving the advertiser more, because ESL’s owner knows that effective ads get more sales, and you will advertise with the search engine that gets you the most for your advertising dollar. Dave Gilbert and his expert team make sure that you get the highest return on investment in the industry, and the other search engines, like Google and Yahoo are taking notice. See Dave has spent years as a marketer and affiliate and seen countless dollars go to fraud, and hit a dead end wall trying to achieve the same success as bad webmasters who cheat the system. He has also lost thousands of dollars to click fraud and wants to protect you from doing the same.

We launch Easy Search Live on March 20th 2007 but you can take advantage starting today with a test account of just $5, and when you see more sales off that $5 investment than the last $500 you spent on Adsence or Overture we know that you will be hooked.
Sign up as an advertiser today with the safest search engine online.
