Hey everyone I just wanted to take time out to tell you about a great blog that provides you with great information on how to make money online. The name of the blog is John Chow dot com.

I’ve been reading his blog for a little over two months now and there is a limitless supply of great ideas and unique personality. He has taught me a few things about marketing, blogging, and great food (not like I need any more of that).

If you are an aspiring blogger, and would like to get the word out, he will give you a backlink and a ton of exposure if you review his blog on your blog. He has nearly 4000 subscribers and pulls in close to 100,000 visitors a day. All of which I am shamelessly lusting after in this post, all in the name of a higher search ranking and many new Directmatches team members.

There you have it, from the ultra-sticky image of the two blue cars in the header to the no-nonsenses wealth building content, it is well worth your time to check out his blog. I would like to publicly thank Mr. Chow for this opportunity.

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.

…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.

Last week I talked about a new site that claims to give you 1 billion visitors. It is time to try it out. One of the requirements they have is for me to put the ad below on my site.

If you receive an email from me follow the directions. You can promote your Directmatches site or any other site you’d like. Let me know if you have any questions on setting up a quick blog and webpage to direct the traffic to.

In this post I am going to give you a few tips on using Directmatches Group Contact eMail feature. This can be a great way to promote your primary business or any affiliate products that you know people in the community would find useful and purchase.

I’ve made a few dollars with a few mlm affiliate products using this method.

If you want to try this out, it is simple to do. Here’s a short checklist of things you need to do;

1) Get contacts. Before your can do anything you need to have contacts. To do that you should be either reaching out to people on your own or approving every single person that asks to be a contact.

2) Build your group contact list.. To do this just go to the front page of your profile. Once there go to the box containing all of your contacts and click on “manage” in the upper right of the box (opposite side of title). You will now see a different window. Your contacts will be shown, one on top of the other, with more information showing on the right.

Once here, select the members you want to send a message to by clicking in the check boxes next to the contacts picture. Once the desired box is checked, click on the button titled “Add To Group Mail” (at the bottom right). Now go up to the top of the page and click “Show My Contact List.” you should see all of the members you just selected.

3) Write a killer email and send it.. You have the contacts and you have your list made, now you just need to write an awesome email and send it off. Starting from page of your profile, click on “Inbox” in your “My Mail” box. In your email menu you will see a link entitled “Group Contact List”…click it.

Now it is time to do the most important of all the tasks; compose an email that will convert readers into sales and/or leads. If you aren’t familiar with how to write good sales copy, a good place to start is copyblogger.com. I’ve been reading this blog for a few months now, its a great learning and reference tool. For those of you who like books or would like to use good copy but save time by using templates, I have a few products available on my MLMHelpingHand site that are extremely helpful.

Once the letter is composed to your satisfaction, just send it off. Now just wait for the questions and the sales.

For those of you with a ton of contacts, keep in mind that Directmatches only allows you to have 60 contacts on the “Contact List.” Also, you cannot send more than one group contact email a day. If you would like to contact more than 60 you will need to wait 24 hours before sending the email. The contacts are all alphabetized so what I do is just keep track of where I left off the day before and start there the next day. You can send out an email everyday until you have contacted everyone on the list. If you have a big list it might take a couple days to get through all of the contacts but it only takes a few minutes each day once you get the system down.

There you have it. Another way to use Directmatches to promote you, your business and/or affiliate products. Try it out.
