Worldprofit Home Business Experts Review

Financial Freedom Ahead 200 x 200 300x200 Worldprofit Review After One Year of Membership Part 1: The Company

I have recently completed my first full year of membership as a Platinum Member of Worldprofit and I thought it would be a good idea to share a review of the company and my interactions with the founders Dr. Jeffrey Lant, Sandi Hunter and George Kosch. I joined Worldprofit on May 12, 2010 and I am amazed how quickly this first year has passed and how much I have learned from the advanced “Millionaire Bootcamp” and personal mentor-ship from Dr. Lant.

I am going to categorize my review focusing on three core areas for consideration in order to provide you with a comprehensive overview of the company and my personal experiences. I will conclude this series of post with a fourth where I will with my top five proven ways to make money with Worldprofit.

The Company:

Worldprofit was founded in August 1994 placing it among the earliest established companies online. I am impressed with the consistency is the operation of the company when it comes to the mechanics of delivering the resources, products and training to it’s members. In the year that I have been a member, the products and resources within the members area have grown by approximately 30% yet the monthly membership fee has remained unchanged.

The strength behind the system is the members area which allows the member to manage all aspects of your business, drive viral traffic, manage your prospect database, launch all of your marketing campaigns, access new products every month, and utilize a growing list of resources and automated tools. I am a member of several membership sites and in my experience there is no other system online that provides more value and a great variety of tools that actually work.

Worldprofit is not a business designed to sell a business opportunity and I like that. Many online opportunities are designed to pay commissions for reselling the opportunity and there is no real business or valuable product behind the company itself. By contrast the system is designed to derive income for the members from more than 30 specific income streams and the marketing system allows you to market any business online and of course the Worldprofit membership.

I became profitable on the third day of my membership and have remained profitable every month without exception. My monthly income payed directly to me from Worldprofit as referral commissions has exceeded my monthly membership fee. Beyond these direct commissions earned, I have also leveraged the automated tools and traffic sources to earn affiliate commissions, ClickBank commissions, and enrolled new members into my primary income businesses.

In Summary

Worldprofit has the automated tools and traffic systems you need to grow your home business. The focus is on automation and viral marketing to allow the members to gain maximum leverage when building their business. The list of resources and tools included in the membership is huge. Here is a partial list; domain hosting, website design, custom database development, video and webcasting, prospect management, HTML and text-based newsletters (listservers), website content management, article creation, dynamic lead generation, prospect leads, promo codes vault, advertising co-ops, online advertising, a live business center to close your sales and more.

Worldprofit maintains a 24/7  Live Business Center where they close their members sales. The live business center is unique among all online businesses and allows the members to simply drive traffic to the monitors on duty or to invite their prospects to attend a live daily webcast, which is conducted by Dr. Lant. Attendees of the webcast have their questions addressed and secure their enrollment.

The live business center has been a major reason for my success and I even spent 9 months serving the member community as a volunteer monitor, which is a great way to learn the business from the inside and gain the mentor-ship of Dr. Lant himself. In addition to my personal experience, many members who have joined my group have shared similar thoughts about the business center and site this as one of the reasons they joined in the first place.

To Visit the Live Business Center Go Here

Worldprofit offers a turnkey solution for anyone with a strong desire to create a successful home based business. Access is provided to over  10,000 digital products as well as Worldprofit’s line of web-based services that you can promote to earn commission.   The Silver and Platinum Memberships come with all the tools and services you need to profit online and enable you to sell both Worldprofit’s memberships and any other products or services you want.

You can use your own domain name for your website or select one of Worldprofit’s pre-registered domain names, which will become yours.   Then Sandi Hunter who heads the design team will develop your website, which contains everything you need to work from home, backed by a legitimate, reputable company that has helped people around the world build their own online businesses for more than 16 years.

Worldprofit provides expert bootcamp training and exceptional customer support. Worldprofit specializes in providing both live and recorded training accessible 24/7 in the members area. They understand that you may not be an online expert or you may in fact have no experience at all in building a business and profiting online. That’s why George Kosch provides the most detailed training program online along with prompt and efficient technical and customer support. In a safe environment, you will be trained by online experts who have one objective in mind: making sure you understand what you need to do to profit online daily and teaching you skills that can be used to promote literally anything you desire online. These are lifelong marketing skills that become your expanded skill-set!

Worldprofit, Inc. is a longtime accredited member of the Edmonton Better Business Bureau. There are a variety of challenges for any online business when it comes to reputation management and responding to negative feedback – far more than for traditional offline businesses. It is too easy for someone with an ax to grind to place unsubstantiated claims on the Internet and have them accepted as truth. For this reason, it was important for me to get the facts from credible third parties. When I learned that Wordprofit has been a fully accredited member of the BBB I was impressed as this seemed a remarkable accomplishment for an online business in the make money niche. The make money niche tends to attract people desperate to make money fast and blame systems and companies if they don’t even faster.

To View BBB Accredited Business Go Here

My experience with this company has been tremendous as it has met my initial income objective of profitability within the system (meaning my commissions exceed my expenses every month) and allowed me to leverage additional income streams while building my primary business through the use of their automated tools and resources. If you are looking for a proven system and the training required to build a sustainable business, I would recommend signing up as a free associate today and evaluate the business from the inside.

In a couple of days I will post my second installment of my one year anniversary review. In the next post I will focus on the founders of Worldprofit and share a few things that might surprise you. I would love to read your comments, so please take a few moment to scroll down to the bottom of this post and submit your comments.

I am here to help you succeed and will always share only what I have proven works for me and what I know will duplicate for you. I focus on systems because systems duplicate regardless of who is pushing the buttons, which means if you follow the training and so the work you will achieve similar results.

Have a blessed day!

Four Steps to Manifesting Your Perfect Life

Vail Colorado Summer Day Four Steps to Manifesting Your Perfect Life

I just returned from a short working vacation in Vail, Colorado where I set my intention to clear space, create a vision to manifest the next phase of my life and businesses to move even closer to my purpose. This is a really important and valuable process that everyone who has the desire to make significant changes in their life should undertake. I marveled as each day brought new questions, answers and clarity as I now direct my energy toward actions which will bring about phenomenal results.

I will share more about my trip, what I learned, how this could impact your business and certainly how much of this will unfold through my podcast, video-cast, membership sites and blogs. My intention as always is to share what is working for me in order to help you achieve your online goals and enjoyment of a true Internet lifestyle.

The Internet lifestyle is about freedom in your choices of time, place and intentions. It empowers you to live more powerfully and in every interaction be a blessing to those you come into contact with in your daily life.

Today, I want to share with you a simple four step process that represents the core of where I have derived my power to manifest the results I am seeking. It is a simple formula, but the process of learning how to master it requires true intention and daily focus until it becomes your way of life.

The 4 Steps to Manifesting

  • Decide – Make committed decisions in every aspect of your life. A good place to start is by asking yourself this simple question; “What do I want?” Decisions are based on your intentions which are very different from goals. Often times we see goals as wishes, a goal does not have the same emotional energy as an intention and therefore they often don’t lead to fulfillment.
  • Ask – Once you have made a firm decision about what you want literally ask for it. Ask for what you want and be as specific as you can. The more specific you are about what you want the more vividly you place power behind your ask. Who are you asking? Whomever you view as your life-source based on your believe system – God, the universe, whatever your belief system provides will guide you to the answer to this question.  It is vitally important that your intentions be grounded to your values and source.
  • Believe – This is where your faith provides a comfort in knowing that the people, resources, and circumstances required to manifest your stated intentions will be provided for you as needed. This is accompanied by a knowing or an emotional connection to the idea that what you have asked for will be realized based on your belief. It is important that you recognize your part which is taking action – you have to show up.
  • Receive – The key to your receiving is directly related to your ability to hold onto the belief that you will receive the right response to your ask. This is both an intellectual and emotional state of mind and you must maintain your focus with the expectation of receiving. It is essential that you maintain a sincere sense of gratitude throughout the process of receiving. You must be grateful for what already have been given and maintain the feeling tone of gratitude every day.

This is just one small part of the process of manifesting your desires in your business and life. I have used this same process throughout my life to accomplish many of my stated intentions and as my understanding of this way of living has grown, I continue to push toward even bigger visions and larger ask.

I would encourage you to gain a deeper understanding of the universal laws that determine everything that shows up in your life. It is critical for you to understand that this process is in action in all of our lives involuntarily and as a result, your present mindset is already producing the results that show up for you everyday.

I would love to read your comments and if you are inspired to share a story of how you have been able to accomplish your intentions in your business or life – I would welcome those as well. So, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post and leave a comment or question. If this blog post has provided value for you, feel free to use the Facebook or Twitter buttons to share it with your friends.

I have so much more to share and will do so in future post. I am here to help you succeed and create the businesses you have dreamed about and by being here you have taken action on your intention.

Have a blessed day!

I don’t know about you but I have been getting tons of emails latelty pitching software designed to make what seems like unreal amounts of money selling ClickBank products on auto-pilot. When I say unreal I mean like $100,000 in 3 days non-sense … some more and some less.

Every one of these product offers come complete with screen shots offered as “proof” that the creator of the product has made an unreal amount of money selling ClickBank products and you can too … well maybe not.

Here is a great little video by my friend Tim Linden, owner of StartXchange, which completely pulls back the curtain and let’s you see for yourself how these self-styled gurus produce “proof” of such amazing results and like I said, you can too!

0 How to Prove Guru ClickBank Income in 3 Easy Steps!

After you have watched the video read this …

If you have decided that ClickBank is the right vehicle for you  to produce an online income be sure to take an approach that will produce results. Last November I conducted a little test of my 30 day guided coaching program designed to help participants make at least $1,000 in 30 days marketing ClickBank products. I know the thought of making $1,000 in 30 days pales by comparison to $100,000, but using my method you will actually put real money in your bank account.

The test was a true success and those who stuck with the program made money within the prescribed time-frame. After several months of preparation I am ready to conduct another guided program and  I will provide more details in the coming days.

I would invite you to go back and read the series of post and listen to the recorded calls from the original test of my “How to Make $1,000 in 30 Days“ program. I think you will learn a lot and it will also give you a small sample of what is to come once the program is open for enrollment.

Test Program Guidelines and Details of the Program that Worked:

Accountability Calls:

http://askjamesholmes.com/how-to-make-1000-online-in-30-days-participants-accountability-calls

If you make the time to read the linked post and listen to the recording of the calls, you will begin to see the logic and potential for the strategies we tested. In fact, if you follow the guidelines and use the same resources I provided to the test group, you could actually start making money before we open the new session.

Please be sure to post a comment and let me know if you found Tim’s video enlightening and if this program sounds like a fit for you. I would love to know if you have attempted to make money with ClickBank products in the past and what you have found that works.

Joint Venture Partnerships 150x150 I Love Joint Ventures and So Should You. Are You Ready To Be Loved Back?

Internet marketing is an easy business to get into but creating a consistent income and sustainable business requires planning, patience and a long-term point of view. One of the key ingredients is identifying like-minded people who share your values and are committed to helping you grow your business as you help them grow theirs. When people come together to co-develop a product, enter into a marketing agreement or co-op advertise, tremendous leverage takes place and everyone especially your customers benefit in the long-term.

These types of relationships are often identified as “Joint Ventures” or JVs and I love them having utilized them to make quantum leaps in my business over the years. Effective joint venture partnerships when done properly can be more powerful than list building, paid advertising, social media and many other non-personal types of marketing.

I want to give you a few key points to consider when creating joint ventures in addition to a few mistakes you should avoid to ensure your joint ventures produce the results you are seeking. Follow these guidelines and you too will be empowered to develop lifelong friendships, high trust partnerships, deliver tremendous value to your customers, and advance your business to the next level.

Develop the Correct Mindset

1. Create a set of standards and guidelines to qualify your joint venture opportunities. As I became more well known in the Internet Marketing niche, I consistently received request to promote new launches as established programs. I could easily see how people can become enticed to jump on board of every new and exciting launch that came along, so I decided to write a set of guidelines to ensure that I remain true to my brand while delivering value to my customers and followers. I recommend that you do this immediately, regardless of your level of experience or standing in the industry.

You can see my JV Guidelines Here: Joint Venture with James Holmes

2. Make Sure each joint venture adds value to your customers with consistency. One sure way to determine if a joint venture is in your best interest is to use the “value test,” which will ensure that the partnership is congruent with your brand, customer’s expectations, your mission and long-term objectives. Ask yourself if the partnership will result in short term gain such as a cash grab or if it will lead to long-term value for  everyone involved. Treat your customers, subscribers and social media followers with respect and you will rarely have to apologize.

3. Follow through and deliver on your promises. Successful joint ventures are always equitable, so be sure to negotiate the expectations and rewards that are to be derived from all parties. Once you have agreed to the terms or accepted the terms put forth by both parties, simply do what you promised to do and fulfill your part of the agreement. Not only will this ensure a successful venture, but it will also add to your reputation and inspire others to work with you.

Know the Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Forget about get rich quick schemes. Avoid cash grabs, which are programs that provide no true value and are designed to be short lived. These programs provide maximum profits for the program owners and promoters, but do little to benefit those who purchase the product or program. Look for programs that are evergreen and designed for the long term growth.

2. Don’t lose site of your business model. Always promote products and programs that are an extension of your established niche(s) and brand. You don not have to limit the number of programs you promote as long as each one passes the value test and represents  a natural extension of your brand.

3. Don’t promote anything that you do not believe in 100%! I have a long standing policy which states that I will not promote any program that I have not a.) Made money with b.) Used or currently use in my business or c.) Establish a high trust relationship with the program owner. These are non-negotiable and although they may result in my earning less money on “launch day,” I know that I am remaining true to my brand by following these principles.

Creating successful joint ventures is a very deep subject and this short post certainly doesn’t cover every aspect that you should take into consideration. However, if you follow the six key points provided here you will be well on your way to many successful ventures and avoid harming your customer’s loyalty or the value of your brand.

I would love to read your comments on joint venture relationships. What have you done that has worked and what tips would you offer my readers to make the best of their JV opportunities?

I am here to help you succeed!

Mega Money EMails System Review

Mega Money Email Image 300x225 Mega Money EMails System Review

I am really excited about Mega Money Mails E-Course a complete list-building system including auto-responder campaigns and a turnkey system that anyone can use to build a gorilla sized list. Regardless of how long you have been online you continue to hear people say “the money is in the list,” this is a catchy phrase and it also happens to be true.

It really doesn’t matter what you are doing right now to make money online, if you do not have prospects for your business it will be impossible for you to make sales or enroll members in your programs, it really is that simple. Will having a list a guarantee that you will make a consistent living online, not necessarily, but without a list you will find it virtually impossible to earn a sustainable full-time income online.

At first list-building may seem like an overwhelming task to get started, but in reality you can begin today by completing the  Mega Money Emails course and then putting the system into place. I fully endorse the “Mega Money Emails” program because it allows both the newbie marketer and more experienced marketers to seamlessly build multiple sales funnels and convert sales consistently and systematically.

Here are a few of the immediate benefits from the Mega Money Emails system:

Benefit #1. Mega Money Emails provides you with the email campaigns completely set up for you and ready to upload to your autoreponder.

Benefit #2. Mega Money Emails provides 35 content rich follow up messages which you will drip feed to your subscribers automatically.

Benefit #3. Mega Money Emails will allow you to save time and make money while building your list.

In addition to understanding the extreme value of this turnkey list-building business in a box, I also appreciate the simplicity of getting this system set up and running, which is the second reason I recommend this package. The website, sales pages, bonus gifts, auto-responder messages, and training materials are ready for you. The process for getting your list-building system set-up is accomplished in three easy steps.

Step #1. Set Up Your Auto-Responder account. In addition to providing you with professionally written follow-up messages, you will also receive a private code to download high converting email marketing messages to give away. I strongly suggest that you sign up for your auto-responder account through AWeber.

Step #2. Set-Up your “Squeeze Pages” or “Landing Pages.” The system includes a selection of professionally designed pages which allow you to give away a series of valuable e-books in exchange for the name and valid email address of the recipient. This will take just a few minutes and the pages will attract subscribers for years to come.

Step #3. Send Traffic using a variety of methods including the 7 insider traffic techniques provided for you in the program. The traffic you drive will go to pre-selected Clickbank products that are proven to convert to sales. Mega Money Emails provides you with the campaigns and you follow the traffic methods to ensure results.

internet marketing conspiracy theory 150x150 Internet Marketers: Do Your Motives and Actions Pass This Test?

It really isn’t that difficult to do the right thing – agreed? I was reading a blog post by my friend Jon Olson on ‘Hit Exchange News‘ titled “The Biggest Joke In Internet Marketing” and the topic is on product launches in the Internet Marketing industry. It is a very interesting topic and there certainly remains plenty of room for improvement among both large and small marketers in our niche.

For all of the finger pointing and thoughts about Internet marketing tactics, I would like to propose a simple little test to guide all marketers on how to serve their customers and a basis for their customers to evaluate marketers and launches.

Marketers: First Examine Your Motives

1. Do your motives originate from truth?

2. Do your motives foster fairness for everyone concerned?

3. Do your motives build value for your customers and associates?

Marketers: Second Examine Your Actions

1. Will your actions support a worthy long-term objectives?

2. Will your actions be responsible for harming another person?

3. Will your actions deliver value for your marketplace?

I have spent thousands of dollars over the years on my online education. I have purchased $7 reports and $2,000 courses and I can tell you that I have gotten considerable value from 95% of everything I have received. I have purchased from unknown marketers and gurus like Yanick Silver, Frank Kern, Russell Brunson, Eben Pagan, Mike Filsaime, Perry Belcher, and Ryan  Deiss. Again, I have received considerable vaule from 95% of these products.

So what is the secret?

I have added myself to the equation! Which is to say that I have actually unpackaged (or downloaded) and studied the material, I have tested and split-tested the recommendations. I have discarded what did not work for me and taken massive action on the strategies, tactics and advice that have yielded results. I have taken a long-term view on my business, not looking for overnight riches, but rather leaning skills and concepts to build a sustainable online business.

I write this post not to defend the “Guru Marketer,” there is plenty to criticize in the make money niche to be sure. But I will say that I think painting the most successful Internet marketers with a broad brush of conspiracy and shame is too easy to do and too often done without supporting facts. In the end this doesn’t serve anyone – especially the newbie online seeker for whom it is presumed to forewarn.

I would love to hear you personal experiences when dealing with Internet marketers and their product launches. I would like to know if you have been able to advance your goals as a result of your direct personal experience. Please be sure to post a comment below and thank you for making time to read my blog.

I am here to help you succeed!
