My friend and GVO associate Gerry Schroeder has put something together that he knows is really SIC! It is a brand new membership site called “Second Income Coach” and it launched on July 5th and it is going to be a huge hit! When Gerry showed the site to me, I knew that I could recommend it to my readers and podcast listeners without hesitation.

I am pleased to welcome Gerry Schroeder as my special guest on the Internet Business Blueprint Podcast 9th on Friday July . During our interview you will learn about Gerry’s amazing track record online and the story behind Second Income Coach. We also will explore how Second Income Coach can help you learn how to succeed online.

So what is Second Income Coach?

Second Income Coach is a site dedicated to anyone who wants to be a “Ten-Thousandaire” – yes, I said ten-thousandaire. Every day literally thousands of people log online searching for a solution to add an additional $1,000-$5,000 per month into their household budgets. They are looking for a second income, a plan-b, a real road map to solve budget problems and improve the quality of their lives. That is what Second Income Coach is designed to do.

Second Income Coach is not a “primary business opportunity” it is a funded proposal that will help you explode your primary business. A funded proposal is a sales funnel that allows you to pre-sell yourself (personal branding) and your opportunity by selling a low cost information product to your prospect to develop trust.

Forums (new school) and Message Boards (old school) are among the most interactive of all membership websites. Forums are traffic magnets and they exist in literally thousands of niches, test me on this and you will find one in every niche that comes to mind.

Forums are membership sites that are designed to serve large groups of people who share a common interest and contribute to topics and comment on the comments of others known as threads. Threads are simply topics that members offer commentary, provide feedback and recommend resources through an evolving conversation.

There are many reasons why you should  participate in a few quality forums including; mastermind with successful online marketers, benefit from the experiences of fellow marketers, identify joint venture partners, share your ideas and much more.

So where does the marketing come in? As a registered member of a forum (typically a free membership), you are allowed to create a signature box where you can briefly introduce yourself and … here is the key …. add a link to your website or name squeeze page.

Follow these 10 steps to effectively market in forums:

1. Select forums that are in your targeted niche and only join sites where you feel you will enjoy being a contributor.

2. Think carefully about your signature box and be sure to link to a page that includes a subscriber opt-in form. This can be your blog or a squeeze page which includes an ethical bribe. An ethical bribe is a free offer of an item of value in exchange for the subscribers name and email address.

3. Introduce yourself to your fellow form members. Typically there will be a thread that prompts you to take this first step, if not simply start a thread and let the members know who you are and why you joined the forum.

4. Search the current and active topics, read carefully those that interest you and begin adding intelligent and relevant comments to a few threads. If you have an interesting idea for a thread … start it!

5. Be professional and demonstrate your expertise in your niche. The more narrow your area of focus the easier it will be for the members to identify your unique knowledge and expertise.

6. Be professional and friendly … avoid being controversial for controversy sake. But at the same time do not be afraid to be opinionated. Respond constructively to all comments addressed to you personally and avoid verbal duals.

7. Before pressing the “send” button, read your comments and make sure they add to the advancement of the topic and truly add value.

8. Do not “pitch” your products, services or business opportunities. If you have a solution to a problem that arises in the thread you can offer your solution.

9. If you have access to giveaway rights or better yet if you have your own products offer gifts of value such as e-books, Mp3s, videos, etc. The other members will appreciate your generosity and when they register to claim your gift they will be joining your list.

10. It is acceptable to market in forums, I promise that a large percentage of the other forum members are there for the same purpose, just be careful or you will quickly be labeled a spammer. Treat your marketing efforts much as you would in a social network – it is like being at a party… use your manners and good judgment!

*************************

I have been posting an occasional series on my blog which I have titled “What’s Working Now.” The purpose of these post is to share with my readers the exact income programs and marketing resources I am using to create a successful online business.

If you follow me online you know that I DO NOT jump from program to program as I have been building my primary program, “Your Net Biz” for nearly three years now. I chose my programs carefully and add new programs to my business funnel that are high converting and produce consistent income. Keep in mind that I only share the winners, if a program fails to produce income in my business, you will not read about it here.

Today, I want to share a program called LGN Prosperity, which is one of the fastest growing programs online and for good reason! LGN prosperity was created by well know James Ward a highly respected marketer with a proven track record and he has developed a great program.

Why LGN Prosperity?

I have reviewed a number of matrix income programs over the past few years and none attracted my interested until I looked deeply at LGN Prosperity. There are several challenges that are addressed perfectly by LGN Prosperity.

1. People are looking for a business that is easy to understand how to make money.

2. People are looking for a program that requires a small cash purchase – many are cash strapped.

3. People are a little affraid of making an ongoing monthly commitment and want programs that have none.

4. People are looking for a business that offers leverage and the potential of spill-over to help them make money.

5. People are looking for a real business, one that offer a valuable product or service and true value.

6. People are looking for a lucrative compensation plan with no “gotcha!” Tricks and qualifications.

LGN Prosperity addresses each of these issues and literally has left no stone unturned to help the prospect arrive at a logical decision to join.

What is the product?

LGN Prosperity markets a library of digital information products from many of the top developers in the industry including Frank Kern, Armand Morin, Alex Mandossian, Mark Victor Hansen, Mike Filsaime, Ellie Drake, Anik Singal and many others. In addition to the e-books and MP3 audios, you also get a library of software products to hep you grow a thriving business.

LGN Prosperity is fully supported with weekly webinars and a support community of your fellow distributors. Considering the your up-line sponsor is compensated based in part on th success of their down-line members, there is a financial incentive for them to help you succeed!

The members back office is very logically laid out and there are a number of marketing tools and recorded training sessions to ensure that you have everything you need to succeed and start making money!

How do I make money?

The compensation plan is very simple. LGN Prosperity is a “2 x 2 Matrix Model” that converts. This simply means that when you enroll 2 new members and each of them enroll 2 new members each (a total of 6 new members), you “cycle” and receive a direct net commission of $777.

Assembling 6 new members can be done a number of ways – my last last cycle resulted as a result of me personally sponsoring 6 members on my own – by doing this I received a net commission of $777.

Each and every time your clusters of 2 personally sponsored member place 2 additional members into their downlines, you cycle and net $777 – pretty simple right?

How do I get started?

Getting started with LGN Prosperity is easy, just follow this link:

Review LGN Prosperity

Once you have watched the 1 minute video by the founder James Ward and complete the sign up form to receive”Free Instant Access” – once you are inside, take a look around and when you are ready click on the “Purchase Now” button on the left column.

I see LGN Prosperity as a perfect addition to every online marketers business funnel, because it offers extensive training, a valuable product and a easy to understand and lucrative compensation plan.

Once you have joined, be sure to send me a personal email (address in the footer below) and introduce yourself. I have some “fast start” instructions that I would like to share with you, which can help you cycle in your first month.

Be sure to post a comment and let me know your thoughts on this program or post a question.

I am here to help you succeed in your business!

I love leveraged business models and I have used them to build my brand, grow my list and drive traffic to my websites. I recently identified May 29, 2008 as the date I first discovered viral marketing when I was introduced to the company Worldprofit. I had joined Worldprofit as a trail member at the suggestion of my friend and marketer Connie Clark and spent about a month dabbling with the system. I do not recall why I didn’t chose to continue as a member of Worldprofit and can only recall that I was deeply involved in an offline marketing effort to build a traditional MLM company and was likely stretched too thin or so I must have thought.

Recently I became intrigued by Worldprofit as I am continually looking for resources and tools to further grow what has now become a full-time online business. So, I decided to take another look and I was a little surprised by what I found.

I invested a few days observing one of the most unique aspects of Worldprofit, which is their 24/7 live business center where monitors help close the prospects of the members. I had this playing in the background in an attempt to get a feel for how things are going at Worldprofit. I was impressed and decided to really do my homework and consider adding it in my business funnel.

First, I dug into the more credible Internet Forums:

#1. Scam.com

I was surprised that there was very little information on this site which is a “complaint magnet and there is usually pages and pages of reviews on companies by disgruntled customers. The primary thread I found was from 2008 and the feedback was mixed but mostly positive. There was the typical “I tried this for one month and didn’t make any money,” which of course was a self-fulfilled situation -it is unrealistic to expect any business to “make money” in the first month.

The following thread is a fair representation of what I have found and is of particular interest as Dr. Jeffery Lant the CEO of World Profit posted in the the thread more than once – interesting reading.

Here is a thread on the topic: Any body heard of Worldprofit

#2. Ripoff Report.com

I could only find one entry – almost unheard of for nearly 16 year old company. The posting was from 2005 and is no longer of relevant as the $9.95 boot-camp program no longer exist. One notable point is that Ms. Sandi Hunter one of the owners of World Profit actually responded to the posting and provided both clarification of the program in question and offered a direct phone number in the posting.

Here is a thread on the topic: Worldprofit Millionaire Bootcamp

#3. IM Report Card.com

I really like IM Report card as it is a fairly new Internet Business site and I find most of the information there to be very useful. Whenever I consider purchasing a product, training course or business system – I visit IM Report Card to see if anything has been posted there.

I found a review and a comment thread and although there were both very positive as well as negative comments, I found that the comments added by individuals who had actually joined Worldprofit and given it more than a couple of months of “real effort” were very good.

Here is a thread on the topic: Worldprofit Review

Second, I researched Worldprofit’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau:

I was able to confirm that Worldprofit has an A- rating with the Better Business Bureau as an “Accredited Business” which was issued on November 2000 and remains in good standing with a small number of complaints over the past 36 months as noted in the report (see the link below for full details).

It is important to note that I did not take the BBB reference at face value and was able to confirm that this was not a paid rating, which some organizations to provide. This accreditation was granted based on the actual review of the businesses which carry their seal.

Here is a direct link the the Better Business Bureau: Worldprofit BBB Accreditation

Here is a link that explains how the code of ethics: BBB Code of Business Practices

Being completely satisfied with the results of more that a dozen hours of focused due diligence and observation of Worldprofit’s Live Business Center, I decided to re-enroll in the program and

So, I decided to enroll in Worldprofit and make  it a central part of my business funnel on May 17th – exactly two years after my first exposure – I guess I was a little slow on this one.

Here are the key points that have lead me to a logical decision:

1. Worldprofit is a sixteen year old company with an exceptional track record and very few valid complaints.

2. Worldprofit has maintained accreditation with the Better Business Bureau since November 2000.

3. Worldprofit ’s founders are all recognized and respected leaders in the Internet Marketing Community

4. Worldprofit’s “Millionaire Bootcamp” is a great fast start resource for new marketers and experienced marketers alike. The bootcamp provides new members to begin making money as quickly as possible.

5. Worldprofit has 24/7 live monitors that help the members close sales, so it is a leveraged business.

6. Worldprofit provides thousands of dollars in software and web-based services to drive traffic and increase search results in all of the major search engines.

7. Worldprofit provides turnkey websites, landing pages, ads and traffic systems that solve many of the “sticking points” that cause people to fail online. I know how to leverage these resources, so this will allow me to help more people make money online.

8. Worldprofit has placed the entire 10,000 plus ClickBank product library on my site along with pre-written marketing campaigns and product sales letters that I can market at the push of a button (this is new).

9. Worldprofit has a supportive community and I have enjoyed meeting a number of their top producers who are serious marketers.

10. Worldprofit provides a unique mentor-ship opportunity as Dr. Jeffrey Lant, George Kosch, and Sandi Hunter are all experienced marketers and are highly accessible to the members of the community.

I plan to post regularly on my journey to implement the Worldprofit model into my business. As always, I will be completely transparent about what is working for me within the business and what I am doing to get results.

I can share with you that as I write this post, I have graduated from the “Millionaire Bootcamp,” driven traffic to my Worldprofit site and made enough sales to be ranked #11 for the month among all Worldprofit dealers. So, I guess I am off to a really good start after my first week. The good news for you is that everything I have done to achieve will 100% duplicate for anyone who follows the training, does the work and is patient to allow the system to work.  You must have a strong desire and work ethic to achieve success online or your results will be limited in any program.

I came online in 1995 fairly early the general use phase of the Internet. Back then getting a great premium dot com domain name wasn’t a problem and those who had the foresight to understand the importance of “keyword phrases” and snap up very valuable virtual real estate. Now what?

What do you do when you can’t find a great domain name for your business, project, or personal brand? Many have given up on finding a premium dot com domain or settled for a less that SEO friendly, a dot info or dot net alternative, or other less attractive domain options. There are other options, you can purchase domains from a domain broker or expired domains auction site – this can be effective but expensive.

I have a better alternative and it is called Premium Domain Marketplace a brand new website that I own and launched to help you find a premium domain at your price. Have you seen the commercial featuring William Shatner for a travel company… you know the one where he says “name your price!” Well, that is exactly the way I operate my new site. I post great domains and your name a reasonable price – fair enough?

Here is an sample of currently available domains:

I would like invite you to check out my new site and explore some truly great domain names.

I am here to help you succeed and wish you a blessed day!

Assuming that you have been taking action on what I have been teaching in this series you now have the foundation of a great list! Once you have began too build your list of opt in subscribers you must consistently work to establish and strengthen your relationships. Building your list is the first step and managing your list effectively is how you convert your list into a stable businesses.

Segment Your List and Focus on Your Subscribers Needs

I highly recommend segmenting your list and make it your practice to send targeted emails to each segment of your list as well as more general messages that apply to your entire list. The classification each particular subscriber from unqualified prospect to loyal repeat customer and everything in between, your subscribers should feel that you are speaking to their specific needs.

Here are a few recommended categories in which you can classify your subscribers:

• Unqualified Prospects
• Qualified Prospects
• Loyal Followers
• New Customers
• Loyal Customers
• Former Customers (Subscribed but no longer buying)
• Unsubscribed

Publish an E-zine to build Relationships

One of the best ways to build a strong relationship with your list is by consistently publishing an e-zine containing relevant, actionable content that adds high value for your subscribers. The format and frequency is up to you and I would recommend studying popular e-zines in your niche and strive to add something unique to your market.

Despite what others may suggest, it is perfectly fine to sell through your e-zine, just don’t become too promotional and make sure that each issue delivers extreme value and that any promotion that you include are congruent with the content contained in the e-zine. If you are an Internet marketer you cannot afford to be afraid to make offers, your list actually experts you to make recommendations of products and services that you believe will help them in their businesses.

Here are some great ways to add value through your e-zine:

• Survey your readers to allow and allow them to express their biggest challenges, greatest opportunities or most pressing questions.
• Include your subscribers questions and feedback in subsequent issues of your e-zine.
• Make it easy for your subscribers to interact with you. Provide a link to a comment or contact form on your blog as an efficient metod of gathering comments and posting replies.
• Acknowledge and reward your loyal e-zine subscribers. Provide them with free resources and tools to demonstrate that you value their relationship.

Educate with Emails That Sell

When you sit down to write a subscriber email be sure to add value first and sell second – this will demonstrate your authentic purpose to your readers and breakdown any resistance they may have to being sold. No one takes the time to opt into a list for the sole purpose of being endlessly pitched on products, services or opportunities. However, if you make it clear through the consistency of your messages that your desire is both to inform your list, make recommendation and share opportunities, you will simply be fulfilling the expectations you have set before them.

Here are some great ways to add value through your e-mail:

• Provides tips and resources that will help your readers improve their business
• Provide tips and resources that will help your readers make more money
• Provide tips and resources that will help your readers solve big problems
• provide tips and resources that will help your readers grow as individuals

Be selfless and discover your authentic voice when writing to your list. It is ok to be personal (in fact recommended) to be personal, again you are building a relationship. People buy from those they know, like and trust. By sharing a bit about your personal life, your aspirations, your challenges and accomplishments you will establish true relationships and lasting loyalty with those who have chosen to follow you.

I am here to help you succeed and achieve abundance in all aspects of your life!

P.S. If you haven’t already done so, subscribe to my list and allow me to build a lasting relationship with you.

P.S.S. The illustration included in this post is from my new e-book and audio package that will be published on April 30, 2010. I will be giving the first 10 copies away to my followers – more details to come.

On January 22, 2010 I wrote a post which provided an overview and week one results for a test I have been running on the Prosperity Marketing System. You can read that post including my financial results after the first week here: Week One PMS Test

My objective was to prove that anyone who took action and followed the simple system I have established could successfully promote this self-funded proposal system to enroll new members into the primary program of their choice and monetize a percentage of their prospects even if they did not enroll in the business opportunity. The key is that I did not undertake any special measures in marketing the system, such as PPC, ezines, article writing, video marketing, or any other paid advertising other than on traffic exchanges.

To recap here is were the elements of the system I used during the test:

1.) Your Prosperity Marketing System:

http://YourProsperityMarketingSystem.com

2.) The Method I Used to Drive Traffic:

http://askjamesholmes.com/optimumtrafficformulamodule1.pdf

3.) The Primary Program I Promoted:

http://askjamesholmes.com/gvo

I wanted to conclude the test by sharing my final results after approximately four weeks as I wanted to conclude this phase of my promotion of this system test with the first months full commissions. I wanted to ensure that the commissions that I reported where actually paid in full and that there were no pending charge backs from cancellations.

Here are the final numbers:

Total Test Period Gross Income $588.37

System Costs

1.) System Student Tuition (one-time fee) $27.00

2.) System Owner Upgrade (monthly) $19.97

3.) GVO Monthly Service $44.95

Total Cost for the month = $91.92

Net Profit for the Month = $496.45

My test with very limited marketing effort produced a meaningful profit and helped to place me #14 on the leader board in GVO for the month of January.  In addition, I converted web surfers into team members or students in the training system adding them to my list. The logical extension of this test would likely yield similar results thereby doubling the income without any additional monthly expenses (the total from month two on will be $64.92) in the second month as the cost are fixed.

In order to remain complient with FTC reguations, the income figures that I am sharing here are my results based on the specific actions I took to promote this program. In should be clearly understood that your results may vary and be higher or lower based on your conversions rates and other factors.

I highly recommend the Prosperity Marketing System as a turnkey funded proposal that you can use to market any income program of your choice. My test results were better when promoting a low entry program in the fifty dollar range. These results are consistent with the philosophy I teach, which states that you should monitize your marketing funnel so that you promotions are self-funded.

My intention would be to re-invest the profits from this system each month in order to maximize the growth in both programs throughout the year using paid advertising methods with moderate cost. I consider this a best practice although you may decide to take your profits as income, which is perfectly fine.

Be sure to leave a comment and let me know if you have had success with a self-funded proposal system in your business.

I am here to help you succeed!
