Mike Klingler Understands Internet Marketing

May 14

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Uncategorized | No Comments

Mike Klingler hosted an amazing webinar last month about how to create a marketing funnel for people involved in Internet Marketing. He is one of the very few people I have seen involved in Internet Marketing who understands both the importance of a marketing funnel and how to put one together to so that it actually generates income.

If you are marketing a business online, whether it is a traditional, affiliate, or MLM business, then  you really need to check out his Market Funnel Mastery course that he is teach over the next several months. He has extended his special offer of giving it away to people who join Renegade Professional for the next few days. If you are just getting started with online marketing or need some help to get it going, you will find the training in Renegade Professional very helpful.

I’ve studied Loral Langemeier’s books and courses for a while and attended some of her live seminars. One of the big points that she teaches is the need for a marketing funnel, or a sales funnel, depending on what you want to call it. Either way, the idea is to interest your prospect with a free or low-cost item to get them into the funnel. Then, through building a trusting relationship with them, you can upsell them to your more expensive products and services. Loral teaches that if you don’t have a sales funnel then you don’t really have a business. This is especially true for Internet Marketers and Mike Klingler gets it. He’s been working this model for a few years now, so this isn’t just some textbook teaching, this is his real life experience.

If you know who Diyana (Didi) Alcheva is, she says this training will shave two years off your learning curve and significantly speed up your business success. Mike Klingler himself calls this training “epic” and that it is the best, most significant training that he has ever put together, and it’s free.

Get it before it’s too late! I’m glad I did.

Facing Our Terror Barrier

Oct 6

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing, Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Bob Proctor says that if he gets an opportunity that doesn’t create some amount of fear then he doesn’t do it. Loral Langemeier says that it should make you want to throw up. The good opportunities should stretch you, take you out of your comfort zone. Stepping out of your comfort zone, facing your Terror Barrier as Bob Proctor puts it, causes you to grow, and if you aren’t growing then you’re dying. That’s how the wealthy do it.

My wife and I are rapidly approaching a choice point in our lives. Do we go forward with our business and all of the related big plans and dreams, or do we fall back, keep the job, and shrink our life back down to what the job will support?

Going back means staying with the job, taking my daughter out of the new school that she loves, and giving up the vision for time and money freedom because a job can’t support them. The difficulty with doing that is that we already have a taste what life can be like.

Going forward means facing a lot of fear. It requires leaving the presumed security of a job, and all of its associated benefits, to open up time to grow our business. My wife also brought up our parents. What do we tell them, because they definitely won’t support the idea of quitting a good job for something they see as very risky. But their dependence on a job is why they are still working and wondering if they will be able to afford retirement. A job doesn’t guarantee any security anymore, either that you will be able to keep the job, keep benefits, or be able to afford retirement. A job can be risky now.

Going forward is a big change. We are completely responsible for our results. It’s not like being in a job where we can coast along this week knowing that the paycheck will be there no matter what.

There are two ways to respond to the fear. We can let it win and we turn back, or we can use it to drive us forward.

I can tell you what we’re going to do. We’re going for it. It’s more exciting to go forward, and life is supposed to be exciting. We get to look at things differently. When we want something, there are two questions to answer. How do we write this off as a business expense (anyone want to take a trip pre-tax)? What do we have to do to make the money to pay for it. Change “can we afford it” into “how do we afford it”.

What are we doing? We are building network marketing businesses with Nikken, a wellness technology company, and Send Out Cards, an online greeting card company. We also supplement our income through affiliate programs with several of our mentors, such as Loral Langemeier, Bob Proctor, and Bob Doyle. We are also both massage therapists and can fall back on that if we need or want to. I think we are in great shape to succeed.

What about you? Do you have any dreams and desires that can’t be supported by what you are currently doing? Have you ever wondered “what if”? Join us on this exciting journey.

A Better Way to do Opportunity Meetings

Aug 29

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | No Comments

If you are in network marketing then you were probably introduced to your business opportunity through either an in-home meeting or hotel meeting. It is the standard, old-school way to do it and your upline probably still insists that it is the best way to do it.

Personally, I think the internet is a much better way to reach a much wider audience, but in-person meetings still have their place and there is a better way to do them. Your upline will probably hate the idea, and that’s probably a good thing.

Instead of the usual, boring opportunity meeting, what if you invited people to a game night? People like to play games and don’t usually make the time in their everyday life, so it is already an appealing offer. They are fun, people get to socialize, laugh, and release stress. Inviting people to your game night is a whole lot easier because you don’t get as much rejection. The focus of your event has changed to something that your prospects are interested in and your opportunity takes a secondary focus. When people have fun and get actively engaged in an activity they are more open to what you offer afterwards.

If you have read some of my other posts then you probably know that I am a big fan of Loral Langemeier. You should be too. The game that I recommend for your game nights is Loral’s Millionaire Maker Game. The easiest way to describe it is as Monopoly on steroids. It is both fun and educational.  I recommend it as a replacement for your opportunity meetings because the entire point of the game is to build what Loral calls a Cash Machine. For the entire hour of game play your prospects are learning that building a Cash Machine is the best, fastest way for them to make money.

After the game is over, everyone is actually looking forward to hearing about your opportunity. They understand the value of having a Cash Machine, so now you can offer them one in the form of your business opportunity. It’s a beautiful thing.

There is an additional benefit to hosting a Millionaire Maker Game night as well. Have you heard of monetization, or a funded proposal? They mean that you make money while prospecting, paying for your marketing as you do it. Become an affiliate with Loral Langemeier and  you can sell her books,  CD programs, and the game itself at your game night. This gives your prospects something to take home and further get involved in the idea of building wealth, and makes you some money on the front-end to cover your costs. Now all you have to do is follow up with them.

Is Network Marketing a Viable Business?

Aug 27

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | No Comments

Is network marketing a viable business to build and live off of?  Of course it is and many people do.

I have made it very clear to my friends and family that I will quit my full-time corporate job at the end of October to go full-time with my network marketing business with Nikken. It turns out that they didn’t believe me and now that it gets closer they are starting to question me on it.

My father attacked my plans pretty aggressively calling network marketing a pyramid. I was surprised by this coming from him since I have been talking about my plans for a few months already. So, I had to answer the pyramid question again. First of all, Nikken doesn’t qualify legally as a pyramid because I don’t make a penny to recruit people. I only make money when product is sold. As far as the actual structure is concerned, a corporation like he works for and I currently work for is more of a pyramid than network marketing.  In the corporate world I cannot advance up the ladder unless there is an opening available.  In network marketing my rank advances solely on my efforts and doesn’t depend on openings above me. In another perspective, I am a business owner and therefore already at the very top of my company and Nikken is just my supplier.

A friend also called my plans into question. Again, I have been talking about this for a few months and for some reason he responded like this was brand new news. This friend started talking about the security of having a job and having good benefits.  As everyone knows, a job no longer equals security. Companies have been cutting benefits regularly over the past few years to deal with rising health care costs and recently cutting people to deal with the economy. This has been a boon for network marketing recruiters because some of these people who have lost their job are now joining network marketing companies in the hopes of never having to go through unemployment again. There is much more security in having your own business and taking control of your own financial future. He did get one thing right though. A job is very low risk and with low risk you can expect low returns.

I have learned that if you have plans to outgrow your current position then you either need to keep them to yourself or only share them with people who you know will support and encourage you. Another good idea is to increase the amount of time you spend with people who are already where you want to go. With that in mind, I bought plane tickets and made hotel reservations to spend another three days with Loral Langemeier and her team in Chicago for the next Cash Machine Workshop. If you have aspirations to take control of your own future then I would love to see you there. I will be one of the guys wearing a black “staff” shirt. I paid for the first Cash Machine Workshop I went to and it was worth every penny.

Why People Fail in Network Marketing

Aug 24

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | 1 Comment

Many people have tried to build a network marketing business and failed. When they do, they write off network marketing and say that it doesn’t work.

If that’s the case, then why do some people become very successful and wealthy?

I think that the biggest reason is that people treat it more like a hobby than as a business.  In a lot of cases people will get all caught up in the hype of a hotel meeting and join without really understanding what it is that they got themselves into.

So, how can you be successful in network marketing? Treat it like a real business. Create a corporate structure around the business and give your new company a name. This will give you the tax breaks that businesses get and give you more credibility when you talk to people about your product.

The next thing that you need to is create a simple business plan and revenue model. This may seem like a lot of work but it really isn’t, and it is essential to keep you on track. How much money do you need to make?  How much product do you need to sell to reach that goal?  Your business plan and revenue model help you figure that out. If you don’t know how to do this, then get Loral Langemeier‘s book, The Millionaire Maker’s Guide to Creating a Cash Machine for Life or her audio program, Building, Leading, and Protecting Your Business.  They will help you get started.

Now you are in a position to go out and learn to properly market your product and business opportunity. You also have a new language that you can use when you approach new people that you want to join you in your business. Instead of depending on hype, people will join you because you have a sound plan for growing you business.  Your new partners will be more likely to stay with you instead of dropping out because the hype wore off or running to the newest thing to come along.

It is Time to Take Action

Jun 12

Posted by Wayne Woodworth in Network Marketing | No Comments

Far too many people fail to accomplish their dreams because they never take action. You may have heard the term “analysis paralysis” before. You feel that you need to be completely prepared before you take the first step. You spend time figuring out how to get the right data so that you can make your plan. Loral Langemeier calls it “planning to plan”. I’ve done this. I like spreadsheets, so I’ve wasted endless hours rearranging data on my spreadsheets and never end up taking action. The thing is that you never feel you are prepared to go for something big. Price Pritchett in his book, You2, says that “getting ready is, quite frankly, a stalling tactic, an act of anxiety, a con game you’re working on yourself.”

If there is something you want to do then you need to go for it and figure out the details as you go. Otherwise, you never will. Mr. Pritchett says “you’ll discover, once underway, that you know more than you know you know.” If you think back over goals you’ve accomplished in the past you will probably realize that this is true.

Check out You2 by Price Pritchett. It’s a quick read with good info.

If you are ready to do something about your financial future, I have some opportunities for you in wellness, gold, and greeting cards.
