By now you know that I advocate using a funded proposal method to create multiple recursive streams of income in your business. People often ask me how I market my funded proposal and exactly how do you go about setting it up. I thought I would write a post today to teach you exactly how one of my funded proposal systems works and how you can take a short cut to succeeded with a funnel that will brand you, without the expense or expertise required to build one from scratch.

leverage How to Leverage Your Prosperity Marketing System Successfully
I am going to share with you the funnel that I use to build one of my programs GVO and this same system will convert for you with any program with a modest start up cost with consistency. As of this writing, I have added 8 members to my GVO team and sold 5 systems over the last 7 days and I have only spoken to one prospect prior to their joining me. One guy even Skyped me to introduce himself and let me know he had joined my business.

Before I get into this basic 3 step system let me share a few thoughts about the type of programs that work best in this system. I tested this method out using the same Prosperity Marketing System to promote my primary big ticket program – it has a three thousand dollar entry point. I found that it was hard to convert a prospect from a free membership into a big ticket program.

I am going to share with you the funnel that I use to build one of my programs GVO and this same system will convert for you with any program with a modest start up cost with consistency. As of this writing, I have added 8 members to my GVO team and sold 5 systems over the last 7 days and I have only spoken to one prospect prior to their joining me. One guy even Skyped me to introduce himself and let me know he had joined my business.

I believe the best type of program to use in conjunction with this system are those with an enroll cost of less than one thousand dollars. Using this method with a program like GVO is a non brainier because the prospect can begin with a $1 fourteen day trial and then only $44 per month thereafter.

As with any good self-funded proposal, the Prosperity Marketing System starts out with access to your free account where you will have access to video training and a high value bonus from me. Then you are moved through a logical process educating you on specific skills that you need to acquire to create lasting success online. In addition, you will be immediately eligible to receive commission for every sale the system makes from your referral line.

Here is a step by step process on how to sign up for your free account, establish rights to personally brand your own self-funded proposal system  and start to getting concerning setting up the Prosperity Marketing System and the Mail Prospects system to create a simple and very effective self-funded proposal system to help you build any internet or home based business.

I am going to going to show you a simple system that works.
I have broken this down into two parts, first the ‘Your Prosperity Marketing System’ and then Mail Prospects.

Step 1: Prosperity Marketing System

Start by signing up for your free Prosperity Marketing System account This is a free account that will begin to explain the process to you. Once you have reviewed the initial information you will want to purchase the ‘Student Tuition’ access for a One Time Payment of $27 – this is the exact website and lead system that will be set up for you in order to promote GVO a low cost to entry but high converting business.
The ongoing cost of this marketing system is $19.97 per month.
However, when you sell a system you make a commission of $24.30 (so basically your money is back after your first sale) and then you make $9.98 commission on your associates monthly maintenance (so basically 2 associate that renew each month means you are profitable).

This system will become a passive profit center every month. To complete this step log into the Prosperity Marketing System and click on the ‘Income Builders’ tab and select ‘Primary Business’ from the drop down menu. Scroll down the page and complete the Prosperity “Owner” Membership checkout process through Alert Pay.

Once you have completed this step send me the following:

1.) Your Short Bio for the Personal Profile Page
2.) Your profile photograph(s) for your profile page.
3.) A Short Overview of your primary business and include the URL link for your primary business.
Here is my email address: james@AskJamesHolmes.com

Step 2: Mail Prospects System

The Mail Prospects system is plug in and play, so there is nothing you need to do to start using it other than adding your business website into the system. If you have time to craft your own email messages you can customize your auto-responder series, otherwise your leads will be loaded and the pre-written email series will be sent with your link within a couple of days of your enrollement.

There are two payments that must be made for this system:

1.) Prospector Pro Payment for 100,000 leads per month in the amount of $89.99 per month this is paid through the sign up process. Once you are set up this system will email 100,000 unique opt in subscribers a total of 15 pre-written email messages containing the link to your funded proposal system – that is 1,500,000 emails per month. (I am testing sending 50,000 to my proposal system and 50,000 directly to GVO.)

2.) One time setup fee in the amount of $100 due at sign up and paid via Pay Pal. You will have the option of setting up a merchant account on your website for you system if you prefer to do so – this is recommended for automated sales. I will be sending you an invoice directly via Pay Pal to your email address.

Once you have completed all steps your system will be fully functional and your emails will be sent daily. If you want to check your opt subscribers log into the Prosperity Marketing System back office and click on the ‘Affiliate Center’ and select ‘My Downline’ from the drop down menu. If you are interested in more advanced tracking contact me and I will make a recommendation for you.

Step 3: Call The Everyone Who Opts into your Prosperity Marketing System

Here is the truth – very few internet marketers pick up the telephone and call their prospects, they often hide behind the anonimity of the internet and as a result, I have been able to set myself apart and I hear it all the time – “I didn’t think you would actually call me!” I want to invite you to take this golden nugget and take massive action in doing so.

Want to be an Over-Achiever?

If you are a person capable of taking massive action and following a proven system I would be interested in helping you get these systems set up and producing results for you. I am not interested in persuading you to adopt this methods, I only want to connect with you once you have made a firm decision to proceed. So once you have read this post and taken a look at the links I have provided, you will have all the information you need to make a business decision. Once you have done that feel free to send me an email or call me directly.

This system works, some of my marketing friends say I am crazy to give it away, but I am here to help you succeed.

Make 2010 your most prosperous year ever – be blessed!

Joel Comm iFartAs I look back at 2009 and evaluate the impact social media has had on my business it is pretty amazing. I have made new friends, established new business relationships and met some of the most creative and action oriented people online. By virtue of my Internet Business Blueprint podcast, I have been able to interview Gary Vaynerchuk, Perry Belcher, Com Mirza, Rob Hannley and many other entrepreneurs.

One of the aspects I love most is how a small random act can lead to a new friendship, a business idea or the viral distribution of information. I have many personal examples of this and I want to highlight one as an example of how this occurs.

A few weeks ago I was following my weekly ritual of watching ‘Sunday Morning on CBS,” I have done this for years! One of the featured segments was on iPhone apps and I suggested to my wife that they should have included Joel Comm’s iFart. A few minutes later, there it is prominently featured. Having gotten to know Joel on a personal level this year – that was pretty cool.

So I fired off a quick tweet as illustrated in the screen shot below and just like that Joel and many of Joel’s followers who missed the story became aware of it in an instant and could now log onto the CBS website and watch a video of the segmented. Could this have happened five years ago?

The following is taken from Joel Comm’s blog post November 16, 2009 and illustrates how social media can leverage a message to the point that it takes on a life all it own.

Taken From: JoelComm.com

“Nearly one year after the release of iFart, the app continues to sell like clockwork.

I believe that iFart is also the most-referenced app in iPhone history.

It seems like every week one media outlet or another is referring to it.

A Google search for iFart now turns up 106,000 results.

Yesterday morning, I was greeted by a tweet from my friend James Holmes.

jamesholmes Joel Comms iFart Featured on CBS Sunday Morning Show   So What?

I love it when the media talks about iFart. It’s a marketer’s dream.

Sure enough, CBS did a great piece on mobile phone applications, and iFart was demonstrated in the segment!

You’ll want to go about four minutes into the video to see iFart.


Watch CBS News Videos Online

Besides the obvious fun and games, here’s what is interesting about the CBS piece.

The 15-second appearance on the CBS Sunday show did more to increase sales of iFart than the four-minute piece on iFart that aired on Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show back in July of this year!

Could it be that The Daily Show viewers already owned iFart? Or could it be that a bunch of college-aged slackers don’t have a dime to spend on anything?

Regardless, the CBS piece was very good and it demonstrates just how big the app business is.

By the way, our next app should be BIGGER than iFart. Stay tuned…

I share this story with you to illustrate a simple point. I see so many marketers active on social sites like Twitter, Facebook and others who go out of their way attempting to force their message on the market. Sadly, they are missing the point… If you are engaged and authentic, if you seek to share what you find interesting about your market, your business, your personal interest and the interest of your social friends… your message will be heard in a natural way without you forcing it. Who knows, it may even go viral.

I am here to help you succeed!

FTC Tool Kit Banner-Joel Comm-kevin Houchin

I have spent time over the past few weeks studying the new FTC Rules that relate to Internet Marketers. I even managed to interview Mr. Kevin Houchin, Esq. the attorney for Internet Marketer Extraordinaire Joel Comm on my podcast a couple of weeks ago.

Listen to the reply here: Internet Business Blueprint Podcast

If you heard the interview you will note that Kevin discussed a free webinar that he and Joel Comm would be hosting to address the primary questions that have arisen from the publication of these rules. In addition, the two have put together a set of tools to help you ensure that your websites, blogs, and sales pages are compliant.

These changes will impact everyone who markets online and specifically addresses income claims, testimonials, affiliate endorsement and actions related to these elements of marketing. One important point to note is that both the owners of companies and their affiliate are liable for the content that appears on their websites, blogs, and sales pages.

For example: “Even 100% TRUTHFUL testimonials and endorsements could result in a Federal case against you for DECEPTIVE advertising.”

Joel Comm and Kevin Houchin are hosting a free Webinar on Monday November 9th from 8-9 PM EST and I would strongly urge you to claim a seat to learn what you need to do to remain complaint.

Here is the link to sign up for the Free Webinar: SITE Compliant FTC Webinar

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this topic. The more I have learned about the far reaching impact and responsibility the more I realize that this is an issue that should be taken seriously. I have read blog post from many leading Internet Marketers and ask for your feedback and take on the changes which take effect on December 1, 2009.

Let’s engage in a conversation on this here!

I would love to read your feedback concerning this issue whether you see this as a BIG deal or not of much concern. Post a comment and share your thoughts.

Have a blessed day!

James

Discover Voice Broadcasting

Discover Voice Broadcasting

There are a number of methods you can use to attract qualified prospects to your websites, blogs, and online offers, but few are more effective than voice broadcasting. I was first introduced to voice broadcasting  in early 2008 and I have never looked back. The platform that I use is iBuzz Pro Tools, which has been designed by marketers for marketers allowing me to maximize this system without adapting a more general platform which was very important to me.

So what is so great about voice broadcasting? Along with pay per click advertising, voice broadcasting is perhaps the the most cost effective way place your message in front of your target market and presort prospects and speak only with those that are pre-qualified for your business.

Here is how I use voice broadcasting to ensure that I have 20-30 pre-qualified prospects to move through my sales funnel every week with less than thirty minutes of work per week.

Step 1. I start with a QUALITY and targeted list of  known networkers list obtained from a credible sources. I have invested  allot of time identifying sources that offer leads that have not been oversold, are fresh and responsive.

Step 2 . I avoid broadcasting to “opportunity seekers” using this method, I want to attract serious business minded people looking for a business and system to allow them to build a solid business and meaningful income.

Step 3. When recording my out bound messages, I carefully choose my words and focus on solving what I know is the number one problem direct sales and network marketers face – lead poverty! Most people do not have enough people to talk to each day to have much hope of building a business that will generate the level of income that they hoped for when they started their business.

Step 4. I use an 800 number with extensions set up for the specific list I am broadcasting to and specifically addressing what I presume to be their biggest challenges. I will cover this in greater detail in a future post as it is the key to high conversions.

Step 5. I invite my prospects to obtain more information that is self directed, meaning a special web page or blog post, I also give the fast action takers the option of contacting me directly by leaving a voice message, which I immediately return.

There is an alternative which is to offer a prospect to be immediately transfered to my cell phone by simply pressing a button their phone, but with so many leads coming in during a campaign 90% of those take this option would receive my voice message with me tied up in a conversation with another prospect. I have found that the sizzle message and voice mail option works best.

Step 6. When I return the prospects call I am mindful that this interaction is not about me, it is about the challenges my prospect (remember, this is a known networker, meaning they already are in a business) is facing, an opportunity to build trust, and to determine if I can offer a solution. The initial conversation is alway about fact finding and adding value first and foremost.

Step 7. I seek to provide solutions for the prospect. There are many potential outcomes to this interaction one of which is that we may not be a fit of any kind, which is fine, a lead generated with this method cost me about thirty cents! So, if I’ve attracted a prospect, had a nice conversation, and offered some free advice everyone can walk away satisfied - this doesn’t happen to me very often.

There are three likely outcomes for the majority of prospects that make it to this stage in my marketing funnel.

1. My prospect recognizes the powerful method I used to attract them and they want this system for themselves, which is fine as a re-seller option is available when purchasing the  iBuzz Tools system. They may chose not to join my team, but they want my system to allow them to solve their lead poverty problem.

2.My propsect likes the business that I have marketed to the and they decide to join my team.

3. My prospect likes that business that I marketed to them and see that I have a system to ensure that they will have an endless stream of prospects and no more lead poverty. They decide to join my team, make the comparatively small investment to purchase the voice broadcasting system and put the entire system into action in their business – a total home run!

There have been a number of recent changes that have affected marketers that participate in pay per click campaigns for business opportunities, especially if replicated pages are being used in the ad campaign. It is becoming more difficult to conduct cost effective campaigns that result in a first or second page rank. I have found that voice broadcast offers the perfect alternative for those looking to leverage the internet to attract targeted prospects for less than a dollar per lead.

If you would like to take a self guided tour of the system that I use and recommend follow this link: Discover Voice Broadcasting

As stated in this post, I an actual user of this system as well as a reseller. I do offer one on one coaching to help my clients set up their campaigns and develop their message scripts. In addition, I offer a lead buying pool option that dramatically lowers the cost of quality lead list and occasionally run shared  campaigns, which can result in higher conversions for new users of the system.

If you have not previously explored voice broadcasting as an option, I would highly recommend that you do and approach the topic with a mind toward creativity. The only limits to the ways in which you can make voice broadcasting work lie within your own ideas.
