Home Business Resources

Ok, so you signed up for one or more of my programs, and you would like to try to sign up a couple referrals yourself....now what??  A lot of people ask me what they need to do to promote their website/opportunity.  I decided to put together this page to list out exactly what resources I have used over the years to help grow my business.  Everything here is something I have or am using currently.

My advice is to try one of these resources at a time.  Find one that interests you, then take action.  Really work that one type of marketing until you feel comfortable with it. 

I see too many people compile tons of information on all kinds of marketing techniques.  Then they end up with information overload and don't know where to start...and usually don't end up doing anything.

Take your time with this page.  Try one suggestion for a week, then pick another, and another.  No need to try to do all of them at once.
 


Marketing:

 


                                                                 

Magnetic Sponsoring
One of the most revolutionary products I've ever seen in the industry. It was created by Mike Dillard. After struggling in the MLM industry for over 6 years, he discovered the strategies and tactics he now teaches and went from waiting tables to Millionaire status by the age of 28


 

Building On A Budget
Here is a fantastic read to help you grow your business on a limited advertising budget.  An excellent resource for those just starting out, as well as the experienced marketer.


 

Name Branding
Here is a link to a book created from someone I consider a mentor of mine.  If you really want to get involved with network marketing and referring other people into your opportunity, you need to read this book.  Trying to market a cookie cutter affiliate site that 1000's of other people are marketing is not going to cut it.  You need to stand out from the crowd.  The techniques explained in this book are the exact ones I've used to create this site.


 

MLM Traffic Formula
Mike Dillard's famous "MLM Traffic Formula." Learn how to create endless leads, and cash flow for ANY online business (not just MLM). You'll learn techniques so secret that you may even out perform some of the top lead companies. I consider this course a must-have if you're serious about lead generation.


 

The Definitive Guide To Google Adwords
If you want to learn the art of using pay per click advertising, you'll want to learn from the best, Perry Marshall. You can lose hundreds of dollars very quickly with Google Adwords if you don't know what you are doing.  Save yourself a bunch of money and pick up your free 5-day email tutorial on Google AdWords, it covers some of the most important things you need to know. The course is free and I think you'll find it very helpful.


 

Promoting On MySpace
You've probably heard about it, but you don't much about how you can use it to promote your business.  Here is a great free ebook I picked up to help you learn more about this valuable resource.
   
Wpromote.com
They'll set up a complete pay-per-click campaign for you so you don't have to do it. Of course they charge you to do so, but it could save you a tremendous amount of time and effort. An account rep will work along side you and take care of your every need in getting going on with PPC. 1-866-wpromote. Pricy, but worth it.
 

 

Capture Pages:

EZLeadCapture.com
  Carl, the owner, has an incredible selection of capture page templates available to you.  All you have to do is fill in the text.  He has very easy to follow videos which will walk you through, step by step, how to create your capture page.  He has a lot of other cool tools available to you at no extra charge, like audio post cards.


 

Autoresponder:

AWeber.com
  I have been using AWeber for over a year now.  It has been very easy to create sign up forms for my capture pages and website.  Creating e-mails/announcements has been a snap as well.


 

Traffic Exchanges:

TrafficSwarm.com
  This is free to join, and really simple to get started with as well. I have a 'Pro' membership since I like the deals I get and the consistent traffic, but you can just purchase raw traffic as needed without any monthly charge


 

 Pay Per Click:

Google Adwords
  You can get a lot of exposure using Google Adwords, but there's a bit of a learning curve. The greatest thing about Google is your ads go live within 15 minutes.
   
  Overture (now owned by Yahoo)
  Ads placed through overture end up on search engines like Yahoo, MSN, Ask Jeeves, Alta Vista, etc. The downside to this PPC vendor is that you have to wait for your ads to be approved before they go live.
   
  Miva
  Miva is the third biggest PPC search engine with usually cheaper rates than Overture and Google with bids starting at .05 cents. They have a relationship with search engines like Search.com, Excite, WebCrawler, MetaCrawler, Dogpile, Bizjournals, Mamma, Cometsearch.

Blogs:

Website Builders:

ThirdSphere
  This is the company I used to build this website.  There are lots of options out there when it comes to building websites.  But what I liked about about this company is that there are advertising/promotional tools built into the system and available to you at no additional cost.  So once you have your site created, you then have many tools available to you to start generating some traffic.

Most companies just provide the tools to build your site, but then you are on your own as far as promoting it.  I liked that everything you need to get your website built and promoted is all included here in one place making it easier for most people.
 
  GoDaddy.com
  I've used their services for a couple of my websites over the years.  Their Website Tonight website builder tools are very easy to use to help you get your website created quickly.  They have dozens of pre-made templates to choose from...you just add the text and pictures.  This is a great way to go if you are just starting out.


 

Domain Names:

  I've been getting all my domains names from GoDaddy.  Their prices are good and the site is easy to navigate and understand.  And I've always had my questions answered very quickly by their support staff.
