Hello everyone. I just wanted to call attention to a new page I just put up. It is a simple outline explaining how to get started earning an income with Directmatches.

Check it out. This should be a handy tool to help new members get their feet wet.

Also, if any of you veterens see that there is something missing, let me know in the comments below.

In this post I wanted to show you where you can get a series of pre-written Directmatches auto responder letters and why you should consider using them.

Why use them? Two reasons; they can put you and your business in front of the prospect every 2-3 days and they are educating your prospect about your opportunity. Think of the amount of time you’ll save by not having to follow-up before they come aboard and spend as much os your time training them once they are in.

I have been using them for awhile now and they are great. I can tell they are effective. I often see prospects signing up weeks after they were initially exposed to Directmatches (after about 5-6 letters). Some of you reading this post may have signed up as a result of these letters.

Where you can find them? Typically it would take quite awhile to put together a series of well written auto responders but thanks to the Directmatches marketing team you don’t have to. In your back office you will see “marketing tools” under Training and Marketing (on the left side of the page), click on it. On the next page, about three quarters of the way down, you will see a link for the pre-written letters, click again and you are in business.

How do I set them up? You will need to use an auto responder service to capture your prospects information and get them into your series. A Google search will provide you with a ton of options to choose from. I my experience AWeber and 1ShoppingCart are two of the most popular among internet marketing guru’s. I looked into them both and they are very similar. To choose one I literally flipped a coin. I have been using 1ShoppingCart for about six months now. Their tutorials are easy to understand and their customer service has been fast and helpful. They also have an affiliate program, of which I am a part of (hint, hint), that is always a bonus.

There you have it. Autoresponders are basically just another step towards making your prospecting a hands free experience. They are a great way to leverage your time and setting them up is pretty easy and, best of all, only need to happen once. Make them part of your marketing plan today.

Is there anything you want to share with the world? YouDirectMatches is looking for guest bloggers to blog about one of the following topics; Directmatches, it’s tools, its members, networking, being an entrepreneur, yourself, prospecting, a review of a service or product, something motivational…you get the picture?

Here’s the deal; you write a post and, if appropriate, I will publish it using a link or two of your choice placed throughout the post. That will give you some exposure, get one or more of your sites (or blogs) some traffic, maybe a few sign-ups and maybe some cash in your pocket. YouDirectMatches currently averages about 30-60 hits per day and has about two dozen subscribers, so you have a pretty nice audience.

If your interested post a comment below or just shoot me an email, corey@yourdirectmatches.com.

…for wasting my time. It has been 7 days and I have exactly ZERO clicks on my ad. According to their website I should have 2,187 visits by today.

At first I thought that maybe I did something wrong. The direction are a bit sketchy but that is usually not to big of a hurdle considering they have customer support. Or do they? After sending an email to customer support and getting no reply for 5 days, I give up.

I apologies to you if you wasted your time and used this site because of my recommendation. I hope you can forgive me. I’ll just take the credibility hit and make sure that I am A LOT more careful in the future.

Hey everyone check this out. Below, I have provided a link to a review of Directmatches a done by an “unbiased” source by the name Matthew Jones on his new blog, AffiliateScamGuide.com.

This all came about after reading another of Matt’s successful blogs, Successful Online Money Making, and noticed he had just started the AffiliateScamGuide. I checked it out and noticed he was asking for affiliate programs to critique. I suggested that he review Directmatches and he complied. Go check it out now and come back to see if you agree with my take on his review – AffiliateScamGuide.com review of Directmatches.

Here is my take. His review isn’t completely favorable but that shouldn’t get anyone down. You have to remember the fact that he isn’t a paying member and he is only seeing a small piece of the pie. He hasn’t experienced the full benefits of group mail nor does he completely understand the benefit of paying the subscription fee* and having the potential for a $12,000 per week residual income.

Also, a little criticism in this case is a good thing. Knowing that some influential Directmatches members are reading this blog, some of the issues will be discussed and improved upon.

Overall, he doesn’t think it’s a scam, recognizes the potential for a profit and sees how some of the tools can be of good use to business builders. I want to thank Matt for his critique and most importantly his honesty.

Knowing that many of you are always looking at products to help grow your business and/or affiliate programs to promote, I want to encourage all of you to go subscribe to Matt’s blog because you never know, one of his reviews might just save you some money someday.

*A quick note on the subscription fees; Without the subscription fees I doubt a residual income from Directmatches would be possible. So rather than looking at a subscription fee as an expense, it would be more appropriate to look at it as an investment.
