Why 2009 Will Be A Home-Business Gold Rush
The promise and demand for home business will be as great as its ever been in 2009.
The unstable economy, massive bankruptcies and corporate layoffs nationwide have created the biggest demand and opportunity ever for owning your own business!
Now more than ever people are being encouraged to take their livelihood & well-being into their own hands to control their financial destiny.
What Does This Mean To You?
Quite simply, don’t let a great opportunity pass you by.
It’s never, “Too Late” to start making a better life for yourself. You can do it if you have the passion and desire for change.
Just because you are going into business FOR yourself though doesn’t mean you have to do it BY yourself.
This is where some people get confused and too scared to take action. That’s why we recommend joining a team of experienced experts who offer support and coaching every step of the way like Team Synergy.
When plugging in to marketing, systems and products proven to work in 2008 you will position yourself to have a very successful 2009.
In Conclusion…
The outlook for 2009 is good, very good.
If you’re not excited about its promise then it probably means you aren’t in a position to take advantage of this great opportunity.
Change your 2009 outlook, and change your life today by not kicking yourself for letting another opportunity pass you by.
Market Like A Pro By Using An Autoresponder
Set it and forget it, why an autoresponder is what your home-based-business needs.
You do the work once and have it work for you on autopilot.
Autoresponders are an essential part of any online business, whether you are selling widgets or promoting a newsletter, an autoresponder series will make your life much easier.
What Is An Autoresponder?
An autoresponder is simply a pre-written set of emails that are automatically sent over a set period of time once someone takes a particular action.
Typically this action is when someone submits their name and email address for an offer, more information, product updates, purchases something, etc…
In Example: When you buy something from an online store and then after your purchase you continue to receive news, info, updates, sales and related product offers.
What’s The Point?
The point is to stay in contact with your prospect or customer and build a relationship with them. You build trust and a relationship by making your autoresponders useful, relevant, and value-driven information.
Not GARBAGE, word-filler emails that are full of ads and a blatant sales pitch.
When your autoresponders are packed with good content people stay subscribed and LISTEN to what you have to say and TRUST in the things you tell them about.
How You Benefit
They help you and your online business because they allow you to communicate with a large group of people very quickly and at the same time be personal in your message.
You can’t do this with other channels of communication such as making phone calls. Making 1,000 phone calls would be very personal but very time consuming and inefficient.
It just simply isn’t practical.
But sending 1 email to 1,000 people and personalizing it with their name and other personal info. they already provided you is very practical.
The bottom line is autoresponders make home business easier and email marketing possible today.
They are an essential tool of any successful online business.

How To Build Wealth Online In 30 Minutes Or Less
With the 2008 coming to and end, I am sure you’ve started thinking about your New Year’s resolution and goals for 2009.
For some, 2009 will be a year of continued uncertainty, doubt, and economic recession.
For others, 2009 will be a year of massive prosperity; it will be the year that they break through the shackles of financial mediocrity and become financially free.
Which category will you put yourself in? And what will determine whether you struggle or prevail?
I’ll give you a clue. It starts with your mindset, and ends with your actions.
Your success (or lack of success) will be shaped by your daily actions and your level of commitment.
Every great accomplishment is nothing more than the sum of smaller accomplishments.
A $1,000,000 dollar year can be broken down into a million dollar month. A million dollar month can be broken down into million dollar days. A million dollar day can be broken down into million dollar hours.
And last but not least, a million dollar hour can be broken into million dollar minutes. How many millionaires do you know that aren’t committed to what they do?
I have never met a millionaire that didn’t value their time like gold.
It is what you do with your minutes that will determine your destination.
Don’t get ahead of yourself. Take one small step towards success every day and you’ll be amazed at the results you’ll achieve.
Break your time down into 30 minute increments. Every 30 minutes, you have the choice to prosper or struggle. To be a victim, or to control your own destiny.
Build wealth online in 30 minutes or less by setting small daily goals and conquering those goals. Whether your goal is to write a blog post, add keywords to your Google campaign, create a video, or find JV partners—figure out what you need to do on a daily basis to reach your goals and make things happen.
Wealthy people believe they are in control of their lives.
Poor people believe that their lives control them.
How will you spend your minutes in 2009?
Will you come home from work everyday, kick off your shoes, and watch 3 hours of reality TV?
Or will you spend your free time reading, implementing and developing your skills so you can maximize your income and leverage the internet to create a better lifestyle for you and your family?
The choice is yours. You are the only person that can shape your future.
Don’t think it is about next month or next year, your time to prosper is now!
What are your goals for 2009? Share them on our blog and let’s brainstorm your success…

Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind - Top Ten Quotes
At first glance, “Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind: Mastering The Inner Game Of Wealth” by T. Harv appears to be a polished remake of Napolean Hill’s classic, “Think And Grow Rich”, but in acuality rivals the classic in both content and motivational value for wealth seekers.
The book is built upon the concept that rich people have a different “money blueprint” than the poor. If you want to become rich, all you have to do is change your money blueprint (thoughts and habits) to be that of a rich person.
In a recent scan of the book, I pulled out ten of my favorite quotes that Harv believes separate the wealthy from the lower and middle classes.
1) Rich People Believe “I Create My Life.”
Poor People Believe “Life Happens To Me.”
Are you letting the current recession control your lifestyle or are you creating prosperity for yourself? FACT: More millionaires are made during downswings in the economy than during boom times. Change your perspective.
2) Rich People Play The Money Game To Win.
Poor People Play The Money Game To NOT Lose.
This does not mean go buck wild with your investment dollars, every business has inherent risk, but you can always stack the deck in your favor by taking calculated risks whether it be a new business opportunity, marketing system, or any other venture…
3) Rich People Are Committed To Being Rich.
Poor People Want To Be Rich.
It’s the small steps that you take everyday that lead to wealth. How consistent are you
in taking action to move your business forward?
4) Rich People Focus On Opportunities.
Poor People Focus On Obstacles.
Do you view challenges that arise as problems or areas of opportunity? Shift your mindset to one of prosperity and abundance instead of scarcity.
5) Rich People Admire Other Rich And Successful People.
Poor People Resent Rich And Successful People.
6) Rich People Associate With Positive, Successful People.
Poor People Associate With Negative Or Unsuccessful People.
Your network determines your NET WORTH.
7) Rich People Are Willing To Promote Themselves And Their Value.
Poor People Think Negatively About Selling And Promotion.
True, but if you are applying the principles of attraction marketing correctly you will
become the hunted instead of the hunter with a flood of prospects approaching you.
Rich People Choose To Get Paid Based On Results.
Poor People Choose To Get Paid Based On Time.
You’ll never get rich trading time for dollars…
9) Rich People Act In Spite Of Fear.
Poor People Let Fear Stop Them.
Take action! What are you waiting for?
10) Rich People Constantly Learn And Grow.
Poor People Think They Already Know.
School is never out for a pro!
One of T. Harv Eker’s first quotes in the book says it so well, “Your Income Can Grow Only To The Extent You Do”.
There you have it, my ten favorite quotes from Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind. Post a comment with your favorite quote or give me some feedback!

Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Ads That Melt The Left Click Button
Writing a pay-per-click (ppc) ad that SKYROCKETS with QUALIFIED clicks is easy…if you follow this simple 3 step formula.
There are 3 steps to pay-per-click ads that you MUST know before writing one.
An effective ad that pulls like crazy needs to be keyword targeted, benefit driven, and structured properly:
- Keyword Targeted - Always include the keyword you are advertising under as a relevant part of the title of your ad as well as in the copy or display domain. Not only will the keyword be automatically highlighted in bold by most search engines such as Google, but this will also grab the attention of the reader due to your ad’s exact relevance to what they were searching for. Search engines like Google also reward you for doing this by boosting your ad’s positioning and charging a lower bid price.
- Benefit Driven - This is exactly what your prospect stands to gain from your opportunity. It is usually a good idea to base this off an emotional trigger or need you’ve identified with your prospect. In Example Statements Like: “No More Cold Calling”, “No Selling To Friends & Family” or direct benefits such as “Free Time With Family” or “More Income To Retire Early On.” The next line of your ad should be either another benefit to your prospect if it is really good or a feature of your product or service that is very competitive in your industry. This comes only AFTER you have told them the direct benefits to them in the line before. Learn more copywriting tactics at our other post if you need more help. You can also find out about the 3 easy steps to writing copy.
- Structured Properly - The first line after the title should contain a statement that describes the biggest benefits your prospect will receive from your offer. The line after should then be another benefit or feature of your product or service. Lastly, the display domain should be a relevant dot com web address that contains your keyword or related industry.
Your PPC ad should be structured like this:
KeywordTitle; #1 Benefit; #2 Benefit/Feature; Keyword Relevant Domain.com
When you follow this very duplicateable formula your Google, Yahoo and MSN pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns will convert better with QUALITY leads.

Write Home Business Copy So Good It Sells Itself
Anytime you advertise your company, product or business opportunity in anything from a 3 line text ad to a full page sales letter it is critical to write effective, motivating sales copy to influence people to take action.
3 elements your copy should ALWAYS meet:
- It offers immediate value to your target audience
- Benefit to your target audience is 90% of the message
- The needs and pains of your prospect are triggered
Following these guidelines and you will have higher conversions with more sales.
Step 1 means you offer immediate value such as educating people about working from home, teaching them how to market, or showing them a behind the scenes look at your business as insiders.
Free offers are also a good way to motivate people.
Things like downloads, training videos, podcasts, an article series, are all value-driven free offers you can promote.
Do not pitch your business.
Step 2 is always important when you write copy. SHOW people how they DIRECTLY benefit from your advertisement.
Don’t write generic company info in your ad such as details about your industry, company or product. Talk about how you directly benefit the prospect. Offers like how to save money, free reports, e-books, or video series that save your prospect time, money or energy is key.
Step 3 is where you touch on your target markets emotions and needs. If you can provide people with a personal reason to relate to what you’re saying then they will listen to what you have to say very closely and with an open mind.
This is always important when you write copy. When you connect on a personal level and trigger that “Hey, this sounds like me” voice in people’s head your offer will begin to make more sense to them and they will be more likely to take action.
That is why you write ad copy, to get people to TAKE ACTION!
More Heart Than Talent – Do You Have What It Takes?
As a longtime student of network marketing, I have mentored with several multi-millionaires, from internet marketing experts to master prospectors like Jeffery Combs.
Every year Jeffery Combs holds a well-known conference in Dallas, TX called “More Heart Than Talent”, where many of the biggest names in the home business industry gather to speak. Individuals by the likes of Jim Rohn, Jerry “Rhino” Clark, and other big time leaders all present various topics in a power-packed two day personal growth and business conference.
It is an excellent event for anyone serious about succeeding in any type of direct sales or network marketing endeavor and I highly recommend it but that is not what I want to talk about today.
I want to dive deep into the meaning of the event, and what it really means to have, “More Heart Than Talent”.
What are your first thoughts when you hear this title? What kinds of emotions are triggered? Do you know someone that has more heart than talent?
What is fascinating to me is that the meaning of this phrase to me now is completely different than the meaning it took on when I was first getting started as an entrepreneur.
I understood what my mentor Jeffery Combs was saying on the surface, when he said that—you can show him the most talented person in the world and he will show you how to overcome that person’s talents with heart.
In other words, “Heart Beats Talent Every Time”, he would say.
What separates people that achieve greatness from those that live a quiet life in mediocrity is heart. You can call it what you want—it’s determination, commitment, persistence. It’s the unwavering desire a person has to achieve even their biggest goals and dreams in life and it is not something that can be taught.
Having led several different direct sales and network marketing organizations I can tell you without hesitation I would rather have one person in my organization with heart, than 50 people with talent alone.
How do you approach your business? Do you have heart? Are you determined to succeed? Or do you say things like, “I’ll give it a shot”, or “I hope this works”.
People with heart are empowered, and they empower others. They project confidence in reaching their goals, and do not “give up” if success takes longer than anticipated.
No matter what business you are in, give it all you have, never give up, and you’ll be amazed at the results you’ll achieve.
Approach your business with a More Heart Than Talent mindset and the sky is the limit…

Internet Marketing Techniques – Six Simple Steps To Making A Million Dollars Online
What are the most important internet marketing techniques that every entrepreneur must develop to achieve a six-figure or even seven-figure income online?
First off, as with any marketing venture, it is absolutely critical to focus on your ideal prospect and how you can help that individual fulfill their need.
Here are my six simple steps to making your first million dollars marketing online:
Step 1: Get Inside Your Prospects Head:
This is the foundation of all internet marketing techniques. Marketing on the internet is fundamentally the same as every other form of marketing. The internet is just a new, improved means of communication. Understand your customers and you will do well.
Step 2: Learn How To Write Copy:
This is the million dollar skill. If you master the art of writing copy, you have the power to write your own checks. What does this mean? Learn how to connect with your prospects and customers using the written word. Focus on emotion and write everything as if you are having a conversation with a single person. If you are talking to everybody you are talking to nobody.
Step 3: Create A Basic Capture Page And Sales Letter
This is a task that can easily be outsourced, and probably should be. Don’t make things overly flash, simple websites outsell flashy websites almost every time. A good sales letter is all about using words that show you understand your prospects pain and letting them know you offer a solution. No selling or telling necessary.
Step 4: Learn How To Drive Traffic:
The best products and services in the world will never turn into money if nobody knows about them. Learning how to drive traffic to your website is critical. Get your name, product, or service in front of thousands of people with a decent sales letter, and your bank account will be happy. Here are some of the most effective internet marketing techniques for driving traffic:
Pay-Per-Click (e.g. Google)
Banners
Video (e.g. YouTube)
Social Media Websites
Articles
Press Releases
Ezines / Email Ads
Step 5: Start Small and Test Everything:
This is probably the single biggest breakthrough internet marketing has created when it comes to buying and selling products and services. Marketers can now receive feedback in minutes rather than weeks or even months, and can make adjustments to improve return on investment instantly.
Remember, test small and continually make improvements and you will crush your competition with this internet marketing technique. You shouldn’t spend more than a couple hundred dollars to test out a new campaign.
Step 6: Build A List And Open the Flood Gates (The Magic Slot Machine)
With every dollar you invest in your marketing, you want to maximize your return on your investment. You do this by building a list of qualified prospects that you can market to over time.
Every time someone visits your website, your first objective should be to capture their information (name and email) so that you can build a relationship with your your prospect and market to them over time.
Most prospects won’t buy immediately, so plan on providing them with plenty of great, free content up-front in exchange for a loyal customer later.
When you start to have success with one of your advertising methods, increase your budget and increase your profits. Scale things up slowly, and make sure every dollar you invest comes back with more money attached. This is the ultimate goal, and I like to call this the magic slot machine.
Keep in mind, you don’t have to master all of these skills personally, technology has made it easier than ever for you to outsource the internet marketing techniques that aren’t the best use of your time.
If you can develop these skills and follow these six steps, you will make an absolute fortune online.
See You At The Top,

Top 3 Sponsoring Secrets In Network Marketing
The secrets to sponsoring are incredibly obvious when they finally hit you.
It’s like the hidden message in the classic book, Think and Grow Rich; it takes time for the mind to bring it into sight, but once you grasp it, it is clear as crystal.
The idea of sponsoring in Network Marketing or MLM is misconstrued.
If you think your job is to become an expert salesperson, you’re wrong. While expert salespeople do well in network marketing, they are not the top earners.
Top income earners collect decisions, nothing more, and nothing less. They provide their prospects with an incredible opportunity, and ask them to make decisions once presented with the complete information.
The first secret is to have what my millionaire mentor Jeffery Combs calls, “More Leads Than Time”. This just means that you need to have so many fresh leads in your business that you couldn’t even talk to all of them if you tried.
Having tons of leads is the first secret, and when it comes to marketing online, it comes down to:
1) Driving Massive Traffic. If you can drive massive amounts of traffic to your website, you will definitely have “More Leads Than Time.”(The beauty of the internet is that you can automate the decision-collecting process—95% of your marketing funnel is automated!)
The second secret to sponsoring endless amounts of reps into your network marketing business is to provide your prospects and prospective team members with massive value:
2) If you aren’t providing your teammates any value, then why would someone join
you? Have something to offer them, knowledge and experience on what it takes to
make money online is all that is required. For a great example, visit the Team
Synergy Business Center to see what kind of value we provide all of our
marketing partners. In addition, we also provide one-on-one coaching, and weekly
Webinars. The key is to really show your dedication to your teammates, and give
your prospects an opportunity to “test-drive” your leadership.
Last but not least, the third and most powerful way of sponsoring is to create your own information product and funded proposal that you use as prospecting tool:
3) If you write an e-book, or even better, a physical product on how to make money
online, you’re prospects won’t be able to resist your leadership. View this article
to learn more about Internet Marketing E-Books, The Perfect Funded Proposal. This is by far the most
powerful top sponsoring secret in network marketing. Don’t expect this to happen
overnight unless you are a superstar.
These 3 top sponsoring secrets listed above are also in order of the natural progression if you give yourself time to succeed in online marketing.
As you grow as an entrepreneur, you will automatically find yourself providing more and more value to others that desire the same success you are creating for yourself.
So there you have it, the blueprint to a massive bank account.
Happy prospecting!
