So my brother has recently joined the original, the grandfather of MLM, Amway. Or as my dad says, the NFL (No Friends Left) club. I was astonished to find out that the average age of people joining Amway these days is 26, they’re still growing and completely debt free. Kind of makes you wonder what all the Amway naysayers are looking at. Amway’s not my kind of deal but I definitely respect what they do and a lot of companies could learn from them.

Anyway, turns out my bro is a natural. He is building his business quite quickly even though he doesn’t have a whole lot of time to devote to it. He’s just reached 10+ at the last event and was recognised on stage. I took some video of it but it is really bad quality because I left the video camera in the car and had to use my phone. But I’m going to share it with you anyway. He’s the 5th one who talks and says he’s a tennis player.

Hope everyone is having a great Easter. I’m enjoying time with friends and family and of course, have had my fair share of chocolate. I’ll work it off in May. Happy Easter Everyone!

This video isn’t exactly in the spirit of easter but it got a laugh out of me:

There’s a video that i’ve been seeing on Facebook lately that I want to share. It’s a very inspiring speech by Kevin Spacey about the nature of success and could be applied to anything that you want to achieve in life.

And I thought I’d throw this one in to show Kevin Spacey’s talent and sense of humour. It is sort of a showcase of what you can achieve if you follow his philosophy in the previous video:

Halloween is on its way once again and in the spirit of halloween, I thought I’d post something a bit fun that I came across. It’s an interactive halloween video that’s a bit spooky, especially if you watch it with the lights off . Without further ado here is the Spooky Halloween Video.  Have Fun!

This is a video I recorded while staying at the Q1 Resort and Spa in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast which is in Australia. As the name of the location suggests, this is a beach side resort and is also the world’s tallest residential building.

The purpose of my stay was to test out the Resorts360 Vacation Club and can happily say that it delivered on its promise giving a 50%+ discount without any hassle.

Having a home based business is awesome. If I had a job, there’s no way I would have been able to stay at the Q1 Resort in the middle of the week at short notice. In addition, I can take my work with me to the resort which can potentially pay for the entire stay and then some!

If you’ve been searching for ways to generate leads through the internet, it would easy to think that generating leads offline is dead. All the articles on lead generation seem to only mention online lead generation methods. Now, of course I think that the internet has changed things a lot, and I think that it is a medium that you definitely need to use. But you can still generate leads offline effectively. Here are 4 ways to generate leads offline.

Voice Broadcasting

Voice Broadcasting can be very powerful and can save you a lot of time. What’s really good about using Voice Broadcasting is that only the opportunity buyers, not opportunity seekers are going to respond, so you don’t waste time on tire kickers.

Let’s say you have 5000 leads that you got from a lead company. You put those leads into the voice broadcasting system. You record a 30 second message about your business opportunity or whatever it is that you want to market. Out of 5000 people, there are going to be a lot that pay attention to your message and want to find out more. I would rather speak to 40 or 50 genuinely interested prospects than have to go through hundreds or thousands of tire kickers.

Drop Cards

This is something that I’m sure everyone’s tried or has at least heard of. Drop Cards can be very effective if used creatively. The best drop card to use is the $100 bill drop card. If you saw something that looked a $100 bill on the ground, would you pick it up? Of course you would. Some good places to put your drop cards are: Newspaper stands, in self improvement/entrepreneur related books & magazines at bookstores, real estate & auto trader classified stands, or even drop a few here and there when you’re at a shopping centre.

Traditional Press

Traditional press media (newspapers, magazines), while not as popular as it used to be thanks to the internet, is still a big player in the world of advertising. I know of people who build their business by placing ads in newspapers or magazines and that’s all they do for advertising. So if they can build a business with that one strategy, then traditional press can definitely benefit your lead generation. Of course, it is only going to be as effective as the ad you place. So make sure you’ve got a good ad with a catchy headline to grab their attention.

Prospecting While You’re Out

I don’t know about you, but I don’t particularly like going out specifically to prospect. It’s like you’re forcing yourself to do it which can be uncomfortable. But, if you have to go out for something, then why wouldn’t you make the most of your time and do some prospecting while you’re out?For example, if you’re at a restaurant, why not leave them a note or drop card along with a tip? Imagine the looks on their faces if you leave a $100 bill drop card along with the tip. Chances are they may not like being a waiter and may be open to making money in other ways. There are many ways you can prospect while you’re out, but make sure you don’t force it upon them, make it seem natural, otherwise they will run in the opposite direction.

Finally! I’ve got my own blog. I’ve been intending to get a blog going for a little while now, because we all know how powerful having your own blog can be.

I’ll be posting valuable content related to the Network and Internet Marketing industries. From sharing the latest and greatest in marketing strategies and industry news, to my personal rants and thoughts – I’ll be putting it all out there.

This is my first blog so I’ll probably be making constant revisions and tweaks as I learn about the intricacies of blogging. So make sure you subscribe and stay up to date with the latest I have to offer.
