WELCOME TO THE SECRET, UNDERGROUND HIDDEN AND RECENTLY REVEALED, LOST SCROLLS,WHICH CONTAIN THE SACRED AND NEVER BEFORE SEEN BUSINESS PLAN OF MASTER INTERNET NETWORK MARKETING LEGEND, ALBERT TORRES

lol.. that was fun.. wink These type of headlines CrAcK me up….

WARNING:This is not for the Get Rich Quicker- They simply do not have the Patience or Attention Span…lol…seriously though… they probably don’t.

This is not a Comprehensive List by any means, but it’s a pretty good start……wait, I take that back……it’s actually a “Great” start………and it should be Viewed as a kind of “To-Do List” for Newbies and all the way up to Intermediate Marketers.

Many circles would consider this Blog as no less than a COMPLETE MARKETING PLAN for the Marketer out there in Internet Land who wants to FULLY LEVERAGE the Internet and do some off-line (not internet related) stuff too, so that they can build a POWER HOUSE BUSINESS and nothing short of that…point blank!

Okay, so I am guessing you already cheated and scanned this webpage all the way down.. Naughty.. Naughty … Naughty….wink:) and your thinking.. “Geeze Louis, Albert, this is a really long list of stuff to do” and your saying, “Albert, this is simply too much and it’s really overwhelming, why should I participate in all of these strategies?

I will simply respond by saying this, it would be Overwhelming if you thought you had to do it all in 1 week….but this can actually be done in parts and can be finished in about 6 months Wait Albert, you know the market changes dramatically every 6-12 months, so by the time I do it all, it will be completely useless… I say, “JUST Hold your Horses there.. Sir”, some changes will occur Of course that is to be expected, that is why you will see that I have explained over a dozen strategies in case some of them lose there touch……….

So, you should be forewarned I took that into consideration while I was writing this plan out. Remember though, there will be New Trends that come out that are very effective, which I will update from time to time….maybe, that is if you’re lucky.

……….Okay, enough Prefacing and Introductions. Here we go…I hope your “Ready to Roll”.

1. Be of Value through any MARKETING VEHICLE you use. This means be a provider of useful content that network marketers can use to have success in their business.

2. If you are doing that then it will allow you to Build a List. The best ways to build a list is to have an Opt In Form on a Capture Page or Blog, also you can create a another type of list by having a lot of friends and contacts on Social Networking Sites like MySpace, Better Networker, Facebook etc.

3. Share with your list the methods you use that work that are Free and Paid… solve peoples problems of getting leads and they will see you as a leader… remember many of them are either still bothering their friends and family and attacking anything alive within 3 feet of them, or are completely lost on the internet.

The Money is Ultimately in the List. Also, one more important thing..if you are new and you want to jumpstart everything while you are in the learning process..I understand , I have a couple of small fee type techniques that will start shooting leads (opt ins) your way..so that you can start earning money right now….
There are 3 Stages of getting someone into your business or to buy your product.

-Expose= Marketing to a targeted audience.

-Involve= Let them get to know you more by phone, email, webinars, articles, videos, social networking sites…etc. A lot of these methods are interactive.

-Upgrade= They buy from you or join you as you have now established yourself as a trusted source of info and you have developed a relationship.

You will build your business in essentially two ways; Offline and Online

Offline: Phone, Free Live Training Calls, Opportunity Calls etc…. Postcards are a nice touch.

Online: Videos, Articles, Ezines and Solo Ads, Podcasts, Press Releases, Classifieds, Blogs, Mini-Blogs like Twitter (text w/ links) and Utterz (Text, Audio, Video), Blog Pinging, Social Networking Sites, URL Submittal, Social Bookmarking and Bookmarkleting, RSS Feeds, E-Books, Free Live Training Webinars, Email Marketing (to your list from Opt-Ins or a Purchased List), Audios, and other Social Media Interfaces and Online Tools like Friend Adders and Screen Shot Programs etc.

Did some of those strategies seem like Alien language…lol.. do not worry or get stressed..you’ll learn with time…It’s about Mindset…You should be thinking..cool, there are a lot of strategies here and I will be exciting to learn and I will not feel overwhelmed.. because this is just like a table of contents to Marketing.. and all I really have to do is get pretty good a a few of these… and when I do that then I can learn new ones.

There are dozen’s of techniques, these are ones I currently use or might use in the future and No, you do not need to use all of them….

Both Online and Offline methods should be used to take a person through your Funnel via Opt-Ins, which Create Sales for you along the way in what’s called a “Funded Proposal”. …

So, essentially, your potential prospects pay you as they move further down your wide Funnel opening by entering at the top of your Funnel and at “their own speed” you “do not try to sell them”, they upgrade themselves..which brings them closer to your main program at the bottom of your funnel, ideally it is your residual program……

At the bottom of your funnel- your prospects become Laser Targeted, because this is where the huge opening on the Top of your Funnel eventually gets smaller and more targeted (look at the picture below)

- Prospects Enters your Funnel /Free

– Relationship is Developing /—-

— You Give “Value”, They /——-

—- Upgrade Themselves /—- Retail

—– by Purchasing Retail /———

—— Lastly, they Join /————-

——- Your Residual /—————

——— “Program” /——- Residual

As People move down through your funnel, you are Building Relationships & Building Your Business by Being Of Value to the People you are interacting with.

Automate the process as much as possible- so you will be fully optimized.

Okay Albert, but how can I make a Video?
-WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER click start, click programs, then accessories, it should be there. This is a VERY IMPORTANT tool for making Videos. (FREE)
-DIGITAL CAMERA get one to make your videos (ask the vendor how long it can record) 10 min is the YouTube limit. Canon, Nokia, and FLIP ($110) are good.
