A Little Lost On What To Do Here

Ok, I know that in this forum if you are going to post about a program you should first look to see if it has already been posted.

I did a search on the program I want to make a thread about, and it is here in the forum.

The problem comes in that it hasn't been posted on since 08. The program has changed a lot since then.

I'm not sure if I should revive the two year old topic, which ends in a question, or start a whole new one explaining the
opportunity as it is today. Which should I do?

2010 Marketers Resolutions

"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got."

We've all heard this saying time and again; but how many of us, as marketers, actually take heed to this saying?

How many of us were disappointed with what we earned in 2009, yet in the 35 days that we've spent in this year, haven't changed a thing about our strategy, or even evaluated it for that matter?

I know I belong in this category. For the past seven years I've been sitting on the sidelines, trying to learn everything I could about marketing online. I have attempted different methods of marketing, but none consistently; and the results I've seen have followed suit; I've made some money online here and there, but nothing consistently.

I AM READY FOR CHANGE

This year starts a new beginning for me. I am no longer going to sit on the sidelines; this marketing thing becomes more than a hobby and a past time. I will see start to see the results that I have set for myself long ago, by actually giving my all for this. I am setting some resolutions for myself, in order to truly see positive change in my results.


YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR GOALS IN SIGHT

In order to make any resolutions, you have to have the end result in mind. Once you picture that, think about what it will take and what you will need for you as you presently are, to achieve that end result.

Right now, my goal is to earn $100 consistently each month from affiliate marketing. This may sound like a small goal, but I am keeping it realistic as I have earned online but never consistently.

In order to achieve this,I will have to take the time to organize the affiliate sites I am interested in into a funnel system that I can market.

I will also have to come up with a marketing schedule that will fit around my schooling, that effectively drives traffic.

I need to get over my hangups of procrastination for doing things, and being a perfectionist when creating things to publish.

Finally, and probably most important, I need to find a mentor that will both help me with the knowledge I need to market my system, and also hold me accountable when I tend to procrastinate.

USE THE CHANGES NECESSARY AS RESOLUTIONS OR GOALS FOR THIS YEAR.

Once you've figured out where you want to go and how you need to get there; use that information to set goals or resolutions for yourself. It works even better if you write them down and post them where you can see them every day. As you achieve them, don't just cross them off the list, write the word 'VICTORY' across it so it impressions in your mind that you have gotten one step closer to your goals

Another tip for sticking to your resolutions is to share them with friends and other individuals interested in Marketing (hint-hint lol) Here are my official Marketers Resolutions for 2010 below:

I will come up with a daily marketing plan by 2/18/10

I will organize the websites that I am member of into a profitable sales funnel

I will contribute daily to my member forums

I will seek out a mentor who is willing to help me with my marketing and structure of my sales funnel, without attempting to sell me on another product/service/opportunity

I will write about my progress daily on my blog.


That is what I have so far (I know I'm late *blush*). It is a growing list by the way, as I am ready to do anything but sit on the bench one more minute.

But I would love to have feedback from you? What are your resolutions for marketing in this new year? Have you made any? Is this thread helpful? Do you think you can help me on my journey?

Need A Little Help Here Lol

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am new to the forum but have been traveling around in some of the threads here and there. Anyway, I have it set up for me to get alerts each time a thread that I responded to is further commented on by other members. Anyway, I'm receiving the e-mails, but the links are not working, whether I am logged into the forum or not. Is this just a glitch or something? I have the cookies saved, and I am not aware of committing any violations of the forum. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Are We Any Closer To An Ap Debit Card?

I've been hearing bits and snatches about Alertpay coming out with a debit card, same as Paypal. Last I heard was the first of the year. I was getting excited at the end of December, because I just knew that they would be coming out with their debit card soon. I went looking on the site, and some related forums for information, turns out this isn't the first time they've said they were coming out with a card. The previous date was Summer of '08, then Fall, then the first of the year; at least from what I have heard.

So, I'm posting here, since I see some of the admin are members here. Are we any closer to getting a debit card? I am actually not upset, as I want all of the bugs to be worked out by the time I receive one. I just want to know if we are still looking at this or next month, or is it further down the road than that? What is the hold up with it anyway?

Who Here Uses Video Marketing?

I just learned how to make videos for promotional efforts, and this has proven fun and effective!!! Here's my first video if you would like to see:

Again, putting videos to promote your business on YouTube is very effective. You can reach the audience of the world with your face and your message. Its like you are speaking to each and every individual face to face, building a rapport that can't be matched anywhere else.

I've just learned that creating a video is very simple, you don't even need a webcam to do it! The opportunity I am a part of just held a training for this on Sunday, and I made the video above in about three hours the next day. It doesn't really take that long to do it, but I have a slow computer *ugh* Making a video to promote your opportunity is easy, fun, and can bring a lot of traffic to your website if you do it the right way.

So, how many of you out there make videos to promote your website? Got any tips for getting more views to your video? How many of you would like to know how to create a video? Let me know!!!
