I use Google Buzz, Twitter, FaceBook, and some other social sites like WomVegas. They each serve a good purpose. I also started using Cinch for broadcasts, but have not done many. I am also signed up to use Blog Talk Radio, and am going to use that at work more. However that one about Blog Talk Radio is for another time and post.

Twitter is for fast postings and once in a while I add a link for some Amazon product or another business opportunity. Of course most of you know that already if you have been alive for a few years.

FaceBook is great for more interactions with people around the world. I find it is difficult to have a really serious conversation there though. Maybe because most of my FaceBook “friends” are either from online businesses or from my day job, or from my online games….did I just let it out that I still play online games?

How many people get involved in FaceBook games? Even Chris Lang has been seen using some of the FaceBook games (sorry to let that one out Chris). I pretty much avoid those though.

Now back to the topic at hand. Can watching the movie FaceBook help your business? What do you think? I wanted this topic to be more of a discussion than anything else. I have not watched the movie, but it is creating lots of discussions over at Google Buzz.

It seems that several of the successful people who make money on the internet are great at coding and diving behind what you see when you use the computer or any website. Applications are where it is at. If I had to go back to school, or maybe one day when I have extra time, I might even consider doing that.

Would you rather go watch a movie like FaceBook or read a book about successful people? I have heard so many different reviews about the movie. I wonder if it would somehow change my life if I saw it.

I hear there is drug use in the movie and a whole lot of profanity. Those are things I choose to avoid. How much of that is necessary to the story line? Do you have to use profanity and drugs to be successful in these times? Could they have left that out of the movie?

I am noticing more and more that profanity in the “mainstream” is becoming more and more acceptable. Is that true? Am I going off on a tangent here?

Well, back to the topic…I read that some people who saw the movie FaceBook really felt it gave them some insight into the struggles that Mark Zuckerberg had to face (book). They have a greater appreciation for him.

Now I think, it is Hollywood, and movies can tell the truth that they make up to get people to pay to buy the product. It is HOLLYWOOD. It is a STORY. I have heard that is it BASED on Mark Zuckerberg, but not exactly the way it was. I makes me think of all the movies about wars and the impact they made depending on the times when they were released.

What do you think? I welcome your comments.

Are you a fan of Google? I am sitting here thinking that we become consumer loyal to many brands, or many of us do. Do you? I know some people who will not drink a Pepsi, it has to be Coca Cola, or at the very last resort they will have a substitute Cola product.

Yahoo search is good, but do you prefer Google for your search engine? Do you use Google Chrome, just because it is Google? There is going to be more and more brand awareness in the years to come as far as the internet corporate giants. I have watched it surfacing over the past few years, and now see how it has integrated into mainstream society.

How many times a week do you see Google Maps being shown on television?
Now that is some good exposure. Google and Maps is becoming like Kleenex to facial tissue. That is just one of the most prominent areas. Can you think of more?

Some people watch this more than I do and I watch them to keep informed. As a future full time internet marketer, it is important to be aware of the trends. Google is huge. Google is a place to advertise. Google can help you get quality visitors to your website. Google is expanding like crazy into a variety of markets. Should you be aware of this. Yes you should.

I plan on writing more articles like this in the future. This is an exciting time to be active online.

For years now Chris Lang has been my friend, and I see more and more people who I have online connections with getting connected with Chris Lang, too. It is nice when you can see the web spiders, work to spider your connections, too. This is not the same as Search Engine Spiders, but it is “Social Network Spider-webbing” to use another term. (Maybe that is another of my original terms but who knows, you heard it here, first then it is. September 18-2010).

The importance of going social is one I have talked about for years, and meeting Chris Lang on a social networking site has contributed to my knowledge of several of the big sites. That is a positive thing. Chris has some awesome connections, and you can learn a lot from them. They are highly motivated people. Being around people like this is necessary in a world filled with too much negativity.

Chris has a lot of You Tube Videos and this is his most recent on Google Predictions. Chris does a lot of homework, so I do not have to stay aware of all of it, but I can watch his videos to see what is new in the world of Social Networking.

I am watching this more than once because there is a lot of information in it. Listen for keywords, “Google Buzz”, “Google Me”, “Google Wave”, and “Google Friend Connect”.

It is a shame that Google’s attempts at mastering the Social Networking field have not been successful in the general public’s views so far. I have enjoyed using GFC, and Google Buzz. I could not get into Google Wave, but I hope they do not ditch that application completely. I don’t think they will.

If you are a serious blogger, and whether you have Word Press or Blogger, you need to be aware of what Google is doing and you should spend 10 minutes to watch this video. Please leave a comment to let me know if you have and what you think.

I titled this My First Review of Google Buzz because I am hoping that there will be more reviews of Google Buzz to follow this one.  I am writing this on the fly so hopefully it will make sense.

First of all, I am so surprised to see how few of the people in my contact list on my one of my older gmail accounts even have a Google Profile.  If you are using Google, take the time to make your profile. If you are socially minded at all on the net you should make a Google profile.

Why should you have a Google profile?  I bet you think you are going to be hounded by spam mail.  That is going to happen if you use the internet at all it seems, however, you can decide who to give access to, and who not to give access to.

Now on to more of the review.  (Google developers are you going to read this?)

I think I will bullet this and do my best not to have it go into a rant and rave sort of thing, but just my honest thoughts.

First of all my background as a techie-geek-amateur.  I realize I am not a coder.  What I know about the computer comes from reading lots of help menus.  I can build my own computer and build a website that is basic (extremely basic).  I enjoy the social parts of the internet.  I use Facebook, Twitter, and most recently WomVegas for my social sites.  However I have started getting to know people who use Google Buzz.  Oh I also have a few YouTube videos, but not as many as I should.

1. I noticed the icon for Google Buzz in my Gmail account a while ago, but was not sure what it was all about.  Did I miss the email sent out to Google account holders that told about Google Buzz?  Was there one?  (I hope if you know, and got an email, that you can put that email in a comment here.
2. It seems when I want to know what is happening with Google I find out from one loyal internet friend, Chris Lang.  I feel Google Buzz should reward Chris Lang for all he does to keep people like me informed of what is going on.  I dedicate this post to Chris Lang. Google could learn a lot about reaching people with limited time to do their own research the way Chris Lang can, and put everything into words that amateur or non-techie people can use.  Google, you need to be in more contact with your users, and have a suggestion box (or hire Chris Lang as a consultant).
3. Thanks to Chris letting me know about the Buzz once something I posted showed up there, I started getting interested in Google Buzz.  Seriously I do not know how I got something I wrote to appear on Google Buzz, but it must have been meant to be.  This is why I am writing this review.  I like the people I have met on the Buzz.  So far the talk has been educational.  It comes from they types of people who I do not get to interact with outside of the day job because I live quite an isolated existence after work.
4. How many people are there like me in the world?  I like to learn new things daily and interact with people who do interesting things and want to share them.  I like being around positive people who I can have a discussion with.  How can you meet people like this when you work more than full time and then try to run an online business after the day job is over, and do all the other domestic stuff to keep your house in some what livable order and your clothes from looking like you slept in them?
5. What did #4 there have to do with my review of Google Buzz?  Everything! Google Buzz developers need to realize what they have created and make it easier to access.  When I am in my Gmail account, I want to do Gmail stuff.  I do not want to be distracted by Buzz, and then forget to check my email because I run out of time.
6. There are features where you can turn Google Buzz comments off in your received email files.  That is great.  Am I missing the part where I can access Buzz without going into Gmail? I would like that feature.  I will have to go back and check my Google Profile to see if I can access it there.
   You can get access to all of your own comments and the replies to it by going to your Google Profile. Did I mention that you need a Google Profile to use Buzz?
7. I think there is a huge potential for Google Buzz for people who want to have discussions on a variety of topics where they want to have them open  for friends of friends to comment.  I enjoy getting to know friends of friends this way.  As mentioned earlier, where can you go to meet people to have a great conversation with now days?  If you are a non drinker, it is really difficult to talk to someone you have not met.
8. Other pluses for Google Buzz can be for specific group interactions.  If you are in business this can be another way to have an open meeting without being face to face.  I see it as being great for brainstorming sessions.  Each Buzz has a central topic created by the one who started it.  I see great potential here that you can not get on Twitter and Facebook.

To sum it all up, I feel that Google has created another good platform with Buzz, but I wonder if it is just the Beta version for Google Me.  That is what a lot of Google users are talking about.  A Google social site with geographic tie ins.    Some Buzz users seem very skeptical that Buzz will be here today and gone tomorrow, as Google moves on to their next phase of testing the social waters.

How many of you remember Yahoo Groups?  I remember joining a few of them.  Yahoo was ahead of the social networking craze with Yahoo Groups.  Yahoo has a great platform for Blog users who have any type of Blog with MyBlogLog. It does not matter if you use Blogger, WordPress or another blog format. This is another way that Yahoo lead the pack in organizing groups of people with similar interests.

I mentioned Yahoo because I feel what they were doing from the start to get people to have places to share ideas was way ahead of Google. Google was not set up to be social. However, Google has seen that people are basically social. We have less time and money to go hang out in clubs to have meaningful discussions (?), so there is an area they can tap into.

My opinion is that people like Google. There is just something about it that we like. I like the no frills searching where I can get to my search destination without being distracted along the way. Gmail is incredible. There was and is a lot of thought that is in Gmail. I think that is why I hold on to the belief that Google can build a great social site eventually.

Google has the sorting features down and the grouping features down in Gmail. I hope that with Google Buzz we can see the developers taking it to a great feature for those of us who want to use it.

Who is Alex Sysoef?

Why do I recommend  Expert WordPress Blogging System?

I think most of my readers know who Alex Sysoef is. If you are new to my blog and you do not know him, then I hope you will follow my links to his site and get his help for your affiliate marketing success. I have written about him before and will probably write about him again.

I met Alex years ago, when he was working a full time job and so was I. Alex knows how to program, and the ins and outs of affiliate marketing. We met on a forum, or on one of Luke Parker’s web projects where I was a beta testing and a forum moderator.

I was always impressed by Alex’s desire to help people succeed online, and with his desire to stop working around the clock. It seemed we were all doing that then. That sort of schedule resulted in me getting really ill, and realizing I can only take so many hours without getting little sleep. It resulted in Alex using his talents to develop what I feel is one of the best, if not the best, groups of bloggers around. Many are bloggers in training, but many have also become quite accomplished with affiliate marketing.

I like to attend his webinars when time permits. Usually they are when I am at work, but he adds the recordings to his membership site. I really would rather be there live than listen to a recording. How about you?

This is very typical of what you get with Alex Sysoef.  He scheduled the webinar for an hour, but he went into details about teaching people how to get their first blog up and running and then how to go out and start getting some free traffic to their blog.   I participated in one of Alex’s tests when he was going to be adding to his Expert WordPress Blogging System, and I know how his techniques can get your blogs to some high search engine rankings.

I am not going to teach what he teaches in this post, but I recommend that you go check out his site for yourself.

I have been really lucky to interview Alex when I was conducting interviews at Mastermind Pros.  It is hard to believe that was about 2 years ago.  What has changed since then?  Word Press has changed a lot and is even better.  Alex has improved Expert Word Press a whole lot, too, and keeps the installations compatible with the current WP updates.  That can be really difficult to do when you use a lot of the plug ins.

Are you having technical trouble with your blog?  Alex has a forum for Expert WordPress users where you can get your questions answered.  Alex and I were chatting via email the other day about different success programs out there, and Alex was talking about people who over deliver on their products.  Alex Sysoef is definitely one of those people who does the same.

Free is good, affordable is good, too, when the product can save you time and money that you would spend to learn everything he can teach you about your blogging success.

I read somewhere that most bloggers are writers and not marketers.  Sooner or later bloggers are going to want to make some extra money to support all that blogging.  Once you are ready to take the step into the world of affiliate marketing you will want to join the Expert Word Press team.  It is not join and get rich over night, but it is join and find out what you can do to improve your chances of successful marketing with your blogs.

Whether you want to blog for fun, or blog for profit, there is something for everyone at EWP (Expert WordPress).  Alex has a series of videos that walks you through your first installation when you get your hosting.  You should have your own hosting, because that way you will not mess up some terms of service by whoever is providing the  blogs.

Hostgator Web Hosting can get you up and running and if very affordable with enough room to keep you blogging for a long time.  Alex has his blogs set up to work fine with Hostgator, too.  I have used his fast installation, and it is the best thing going, because you get everything you need and his EWP site does all the ground work.

Well I hope this has given you the desire to go meet Alex Sysoef and find out why I endorse him and Expert WordPress.  There is a wealth of information for members and you can always get a refresher course when you need it, or get the latest in what is new at Word Press, and how to use it.

Fact: Blogs Need Daily Traffic

Attention Readers:

When you show me the traffic then
it won’t be long before you can show me the money!
Do you believe it?

• Without traffic who is looking at your blog or website?
• Are happy just sharing among your inner circle?
• Is it time to step out of the box here and look at why you are blogging?

Is your blog or website a business or is it just because you love to write?
Even if you just love to write and share information, wouldn’t it be nice to
have some extra dollars rolling in so maybe you could automatically pay for
your hosting fees?

If you are hobby blogging or have a hobby website maybe some extra money coming in would get you more toys or whatever you need to expand your hobby.

How do you get some extra traffic to your website?

That is the question men and woman have been seeking to answer daily.  It changes
over time.  That is one thing you can count on.

Getting traffic to your website or blog requires a variety of tools and techniques.

Some people excel at driving traffic to their websites and blogs. Others never quite catch the fact that getting traffic takes a combination of time, energy, and money.

• Do you have to reinvent the wheel though?
• Do you have to be an innovator to succeed in getting visitors to your blog or web pages?

There are people who are very successful and never worry about having
a top page listing at Google.  They have other ways to drive traffic.  I bet
you want to know what they are doing.

The Top Three Ways To Drive Traffic To Your Blog Or Website For 2010

1. Go Social: While this may sound easy, you have to make sure you find the right social sites to be active on.
There are so many sites out there, and we are drawn to the top ones such as Twitter and Facebook. However did you think that it might be easier to make friends on a less populated site?
Friends who would actually want to get to know you?

This is part of relationship building that is so important in this era of Web 2.0 and now 3.0 and beyond.

• Take time to look around at the social sites and before you spend all your time there, get to know it.
• Is this the type of site where you can make a difference?  Do you like the people and the culture of the site?
• What do they offer as far as ways to promote your business service?

2. Become A Valued Blog Commenter: Share your personality, knowledge, and enthusiasm with other blogs.

Become the visitor that you want to have visityour blog.    This is something I stress.  When you are the visitor, you are going to get visitors.  This, too, develops excellent relationships.

I have made good friends across the internet that started with blog
comments.

3.Promote Your Link: This last way can take
the most time and money depending on how you choose to do it.
While steps one and two require some time, the costs can be free to minimal depending on the social sites you join. If you are paying for a social site make
sure you are getting publicity for your websites and blogs from it.

Also search for people who will reciprocate some link exchanges with
you. The more popular their site is, the more good it will do you to
have your link there.

The following ways do work, but they require more knowledge and time
spent. You have probably heard of most of these ways and they are in depth
topics for other articles.  I will give a brief overview of three ways to promote.

• Search Engine Advertising:  Yahoo, Google, MSN-Bing:
  These do cost you per click and you need to set up a budget and be able to monitor your ads daily and change them as needed for your success.
  Some people start this way and once they are getting traffic they can discontinue the ads.
  This advertising is a great way to get specific demographic targeting
  to your site.
• Text Ad Exchanges:
  There are thousands of them out there.  I am finding more success at the smaller ones rather than the larger ones.  You can either spend time clicking on ads to get points for free advertising, or you can pay small fees to send out solo ads.  The solo ads do get response but remember sometimes you have to repeat this step several times to get noticed.
  This form of marketing takes time and patience to be good at, but it can be highly rewarding.
• Link Exchanges Or Ad Exchanges:
  There are a variety of these on the internet, and they can get you traffic.
  Once again you have to consder if you want to use the free way or the paid way.  Most of them involve either clicking on ads and viewing them for a certain length of time to get points,or exchanging links with other sites so you are constantly adding links to your blog to send visitors off to other blogs.

I have had good results using all of the above methods.  The method I use depends on my time and my cash flow.  I am always looking for the best ways and the most affordable ways to drive traffic to my blogs.  I hope this encourages you to get out there and start getting your blog or website some traffic.

___________________________________________________
Here are resources that I feel go with this post, and why I recommend them.
1. Expert Word Press is the easiest way to get a series of self hosted blogs, and with a community that will visit your blogs and post comments on it. It is a great resource to have and affordable. You get more than you pay for here.

2. WomVegas: Word of Mouth Advertising. Now with fun games and drawings for cash!

Timothy L. Drobnick Sr. Starts His Own Unique Social Network

by Phil Staudt
July 7, 2010

Many social networking websites these days are springing up, because proprietors want to cash in on this huge growing market, and many websites are copying the styles of other social network websites, in order to get their piece of the future potential pie in the world of social networking. However, in the case of Timothy L. Drobnick Sr., he has built his own social network, womvegas.com, because for the past 15 years he has been showing people how to promote their business on the Internet, and part of what he does is to show online entrepreneurs how to use social networks for marketing and business promotions, but the social networking websites are constantly changing their rules and fees and formats like diapers. For that reason, Mr. Drobnick decided to start his own social networking website, in his own unique way, with the goal of making his social network website friendly for businesses, entrepreneurs, artists and bands, contractors, retail stores, online stores and services, and marketing professionals. At the same time, WomVegas.com is designed to be a fun website for non-marketers, and a good way to meet real people online and socialize in the hundreds of chat rooms.

Why Another Social Network Website?

Mr. Drobnick states “as the owner of VIP Wealth Club, I have been teaching people how to use blogs and social networks to promote any business. However, in trying to keep up with social networking websites, and looking how they are controlled, and how they are constantly changing their rules and formats and fees all the time, I was having difficulty accurately telling people how to use social media marketing to promote their businesses effectively. (The members in VIP Wealth Club pay $19 a month and are entrepreneurs and marketers, not large corporations like Walmart or Ford.) So, I decided I had to create my own viable and popular social networking website, so that I could tell entrepreneurs how to use a social network that I control and I know they can rely on for marketing their products and services, that is both a marketing friendly social network and a website that appeals to both marketers and non-marketers.”

In addition, Mr. Drobnick says “I help people get their blog articles found on blogsearch.google.com and other blog-listing websites, but I am always having to change my recommendations and advice, because the websites that are supposed to help people find blog articles, are constantly changing their parameters and standards for listing blogs and blog articles, if they even stay in business. And the social networking sites keep going back and forth from pro-marketing to anti-marketing. They can’t make up their minds! And then, when a small business owner or marketing professional finally finds a way to promote their products or services with social networking, the big wigs running the social network websites decide to change everything. It can be very frustrating and confusing.”

Timothy L. Drobnick Sr. has built and operated many websites and online businesses over the past 15 years. He says “I have studied SEO strategies from the best SEO experts, and as soon as I found something that was working well for my websites, then Google or yahoo, or some other search engine that was sending me the most traffic, all of the sudden would give me lousy rankings for no reason at all. Maybe I did not grease the right wheels or have the right college pals, but counting on SEO to send the majority of traffic to a website, is not a good idea for small business owners like me.”

Social Network Websites and Marketers

“Recently,” according to Mr. Drobnick, “the social network websites have enjoyed good rankings on search engines, and that is why I have been encouraging my students and followers to get on board, and have an online presence on Twitter and Facebook and Friendfeed and Ning and Myspace and other social websites. But I get tired of having to go back and re-tape my learning videos and change what I recommend, because the rules and formats change so much and so often. So I realized, that by building and controlling my own social network, which various types of businesses and marketing individuals can use to promote themselves online, I can confidently tell the 50,000+ members of my marketing websites, and the rest of my students and affiliates at VIP Wealth Club, how to use one social networking website that I know will not go against them.”

Timothy L. Drobnick Sr. recently started womvegas.com, his social networking website, by attracting an army of Internet marketers and online proprietors, who are always looking for a good solid way to make money online and have residual income, and he is offering them commissions for referring new members and customers. Many popular social networks shun these success-oriented entrepreneur-minded marketers, and try to come up with ways to discourage them from using their social network. (Although, recently they have been scrambling to figure out how to cash in on them, with fees and ad deals, because they have learned that they need marketers. DUH!) Timothy L. Drobnick Sr. is counting on his marketing affiliates to get the word out about his new marketing friendly social network to small businesses and promoters throughout the world, including retail businesses and service businesses and local establishments, which operate online or off-line.

Womvegas.com has a single tier affiliate program for free members who want to earn commissions and residual income as free affiliates, and womvegas.com also has an MLM marketing program for upgraded members, who want to be marketing affiliates. There is no pressure at all for any members to be affiliates or do any marketing or promoting, and Mr. Drobnick plans on 95% of the members using the womvegas.com as free members to meet people and socialize online. Many of the chat rooms have strict rules against advertising or promoting in the chat area.

Upgraded members get their own chat room(s) where they make the rules for the room, and in those member-controlled chat rooms, other womvegas.com members have to request and be approved to post in the room by the upgraded member of that room.

Mr. Drobnick has also created a totally innovative way in womvegas.com to allow all the members of womvegas.com, both free or upgraded, to post text ads throughout his website, and the way that is done is by using activity points they can earn by playing games and visiting and “signing the guestbook” at certain pages on womvegas.com. The ads on the website can be placed by using points to bid in the text ad auction. That is part of what makes womvegas popular and fun, at the same time as it gives businesses and marketers a way to advertise online.

Womvegas.com is still new, and there are still glitches, and some of the features and functions could be more user-friendly, but for only having been launched less than a month ago, it is enjoying extremely high traffic and is already popular with people from around the world. According Timothy L. Drobnick Sr., he has taken his 40 years of sales and business experience, and combined it with his 15 years experience as a full time Internet marketer and trainer, and created his best enterprise so far, and has built this one to last for a very long time.

WomVegas.com Starts Upgrade Testing

by Phil Staudt
June 11, 2010

Congrats to my friend Timothy L. Drobnick Sr. for taking in his first dollar at WomVegas today. Frame it and pin it on your wall. Much success, buddy.

WomVegas.com has not launched yet, but Tim has allowed a few selected participating members to officially upgrade, in order to make certain the software is working correctly for commissions, payments, and processing. Some of the members who upgraded have already been paid commissions on their referrals who also upgraded.

It was over a year ago that Tim Drobnick and I were brain-storming about ways to take his “virtual convention center” concept, which he already had in one of his other websites, and build a website around it. It was over nine months ago that he was talking to me about building a social network similar to WomVegas. There were a dozen names for the website before WomVegas, but the core plan for the website was the same. (Obviously, the Vegas theme sounded good to me.)

I encouraged Tim to keep everything under wraps until it was all ready to go, but Tim wanted to have 100 or so people using the website while he started building it on April 24, because it would make it easier for him to find the glitches and bugs. People who knew Tim started asking him if they could be on it. He kept on adding them one by one, until he either had to tell everyone “no”, or just let everyone sign up for free.

Since April 24, Tim has been very blessed with many wonderful people who have been very helpful (some of them in more politically correct ways than others). On April 24, Tim was confident that it would not take him more than two weeks to get the website into good enough shape to start taking in money, and allowing affiliates to start making money. But the more people signed up, the harder it was for him to get the work done. And, with all the good suggestions and harsh criticisms and helpful suggestions and feedback, Tim has had to change little details many times over, and making it more time-consuming for him to work on bugs and glitches.

With over 4000 members signed up now, the pressure for Tim to “get it right” is even greater than it would have been if there were only a few hundred members. Tim has to be very careful not to let go of the wagon while pushing it up the hill. As I have been telling folks for the past six weeks, most website founders would have started taking money in weeks ago, and then worried about making it good for the affiliates after they got their money in the bank. Tim has lost many thousands of dollars by concentrating on getting rid of bugs and making things work right before collecting any money. But Tim is very conscientious of trying to build something that marketing people and affiliates and customers can use to get more than their money’s worth.

People may criticize Tim for all the delays on
WomVegas, and for not getting it finished as soon as he originally planned, but since this is not designed to be a flash-in-the-pan get-rich-scheme, Tim felt it was better to have critics and scoffers, than risk not doing it right.

I have known Tim Drobnick for over two decades, and he has always wanted to come up with ways to make it possible for somebody who is a little person from a small town with no connections and no financial backing (which is how Tim and I started) to have a way to become extremely successful financially, and be able to be rewarded for hard work, honesty, and good ethics. Many times, as his friend, I am constantly reminding Tim that he can’t give away too much of his own potential profits in order to try and help out others. (I usually lose that argument.)

To all of you who are members in
WomVegas, free or upgraded, you are in the right place at the right time, but more importantly, you are associated with the right person, Timothy L. Drobnick Sr.

There are three types of people:

1. Those who make things happen.
2. Those who watch things happen.
3. Those who never knew anything happened.

Viva Wom Vegas!

I could not believe it when I got the email about The Mentor’s Club closing. If you are a member you should go there and download the hundreds of PLR articles and Master Resell articles before it is too late.

How could a site that delivered quality interviews month after month and great PLR content not survive on the internet? The Mentor’s Club was a membership site that also had a Multi Level Marketing plan set up for members. The payout was not big , but the fees were affordable. That is why I flew the banners all over my site. The site was highly motivational and positive.

Chuck Norris and Shakira were affiliated with The Mentor’s Club, and there was a whole lot of Martial Arts information on the site. There was also a strong commitment to help out children from around the world. It seemed like the right mix was there for success.

You only needed a few members and your account was free, so that was even better. Now it is closing. Here is the email and the letter they sent explaining why they chose to shut down.

My readers of this blog know how strongly I feel about having coaching in general for anything you are learning. I am a strong advocate in all that Napoleon Hill suggests in his book, Think and Grow Rich, and that is why I give away copies of it from this site. The Mentor’s Club shared the same beliefs that I did.

At least I will have a wealth of material from them, and I intend to share it with my readers over time.

Here is the email:

Hello Mentors Club Members and Affiliates,

This is Steve Gresham, CEO of MentorsClub and I have an important announcement to make. We started MentorsClub over 2 years ago now and I love the concept of personal development combined with a business opportunity and a charitable mission. Over these past 2 years, we have learned a lot and grown as people. We were able to raise money to help kids in need and help many people to earn extra income. Our Mentors have graciously dedicated their time, energy and resources to the project and our Members have provided valuable feedback.

Many members have enjoyed personal growth as a result of using our members area and I am very happy about that. My goal in life is to help as many people as I can while benefiting personally as well. What many of you may not know is the time and dedication it takes to run MentorsClub. When we started the company, we wanted to create something that was virtually automatic and did not require much time to run. I’ve personally invested hundreds of hours working with content and running the affiliate portion of the company as well.

We also created a simple compensation plan that could be used to create extra income, however our affiliates have not utilized it to its full potential. With very few new members joining each month, the cost in time, energy, software, transaction fees and so forth, it has proven not to be cost effective. Although enjoyable, due to slow growth, we are unable to bring the project to full fruition, and we’ve made a hard decision to close Mentors Club.

What does this mean for you? If you are a current Member of MentorsClub, we want you to log in and download everything you have not downloaded to date. There are literally hundreds of downloads in your Members Area. Take advantage of these downloads and keep them for yourself forever. Use them to learn and grow. So, please log in and start downloading now.

Free Bonuses for you!

I want to give you a bonus to thank you for your participation in the project. So here it goes… We are going to give you some great parting gifts! First of all, we are going to deliver 20 New Real Life Legends Interviews!

Next, we’re going to give you 10 FREE Internet Marketing Training Videos! These are Courses Designed to teach you how to use the tools of the trade to promote your primary business! We’re going to give you 10 New Courses as a thank you.

And one more great bonus… 100 New Private Label Digital Books for you. With these, you can become the author, give them away, sell them, or use them to market any other business you may want to market. All of these bonuses will appear in your Members Area this month (February) and we will notify you as soon as you can log in and grab all the Goodies!

We will not be charging any more recurring transactions effective immediately. Since we will be closing MentorsClub, we will not be processing any more transactions or taking any new Members and our last commission run will be on February 15th and will be paid in the mail as usual.

With the start of the new year it seems that the online businesses continue to press forward, and the movie and entertainment industry is flourishing. The reports of December 2009 retail sales were disappointing. I know I spent less this December than in years before. I had to cut back.

There are people making money in this economy. You hear them speak and their mindset is that I am not going to choose to let the nation’s economy affect my personal life. Most of these people are self employed. However you have to have the strength to shut off what you are hearing daily by the news and probably 99% of the people you talk to.

I have found myself getting more and more negative and have had to give myself a huge wake up call. Where did my positive thinking go? Life can hand us lemons, and when our thoughts get possessed by all that is negative it is not a good place to be.

That is when we really need to examine what we listen to and what we focus on. Listening to the positive people who are succeeding in this economy is better than listening to the economic reports from television and radio announcers.

There are still needs to be filled and ways for innovative people to earn more money during 2010.

I am still consumed by my mother’s ill health and the predictions that she will soon die. It is really difficult to think positively when that thought is being hammered at you daily. When I hear that I answer a giant NO. They do not know her will. They do not know that she is the most positive person I have ever met and she can overcome any adversity sent her way.

Luckily whether she lives or dies, I have all that I have learned from her to carry me through, just as her mother taught it to her. Please focus on what you say to yourself and the mindset you are going in. Are you predicting doom and gloom, or are you looking for opportunities in all situations?

We all have detours and set backs in life. They are there to make us stronger and smarter, not to cause us to get stuck in the pit of despair where there is no way out. People who quit do not end recessions and bad economic times. Find a way to succeed and share your success with others who need a helping hand.

Refuse to buy into the failure theory, and keep on going forward, even if you did fall a few steps backwards. Your personal business outlook for 2010 is going to depend a lot on how you think and the actions you take. Let me know what you are doing and how you do with it.
