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 am going tell you about an unlikely benefit I received by being a member of Directmatches. It has to do with my newly found confidence and posture. Let me explain.

Perhaps most of you came into network marketing with skills and a chip on your shoulder. You are an unbelievable recruiter, an awesome networkers or savvy business builder. A real “this stuff is easy type guy.” NOT ME!

The cold hard truth is that I really sucked for a very long (and painful) time. I was bumbling around, scaring the living hell out of every prospect. My prospects would run screaming in the other direction. They could smell the desperation from a mile away. Other than that I was a freakin’ mess. I worked for three years in various companies, I went to the big seminars, attended Dani Johnson “First Steps To Success” (highly recommend her by the way)and worked unbelievably hard. The only thing I was building was credit card debt.

Then came Directmatches. Now I have a modest (but nice) income rolling in, a large downline, some great contacts, some new skills and, most importantly, CONFIDENCE and POSTURE. Two key things resulting from some of the methods being taught and the feeling that “yes I can be successful.”

Funny thing happens as you see your downline grow. You notice things; People come, people go. Some people put in hundreds of reps, some do nothing. Some are good right away and then fade, some do nothing and then one day BAM they are working. I was seeing how an a network marketing organization works. How to not let every little thing bother me and concentrate on two big things, putting more people in and duplicating my efforts with the people who are willing. Concepts I’ve heard over and over before but never quite experienced until my downline started to grow.

Also, since Directmatches is free it allows for people to come in and participate without making the big commitment. This in turn allows a struggling guy, like myself, see how it’s supposed to work. I get a glimpse of what my leaders in other companies get to see. Up until now I only saw my 2 or three poeple not do anything. I worked my prospects like I had to do everything. I worked the prospects like I needed the money.

All this newly found optimism started to bleed into my other endeavors. I do not sweat the big stuff anymore because I know I will be successful. Been there. Who cares if so and so doesn’t sign up, NEXT.

Bottom line. I now have confidence and posture. Two of the most critical elements when it come to surviving in any entrepreneurial endeavor. I’ve heard about these concepts many times before (they are part of network marketing 101), but, until I “experienced” them the light bulb just didn’t go on. Now that I’ve had an opportunity to see the bigger picture and taste some success, the future is much brighter.

It has almost been a full month since I started YourDirectMatches and many of the new subscribers may not have had a chance to read some of the earlier posts. In this post I am going to list a few of the most popular.

There are good tips and techniques that will help you so If you haven’t read them, go now and read them over. If you have read them already, I might not hurt to skim them over once again.

Here they are;

On 2/9/2007 I discussed the 3 Types of Dead-end Leads And How To Bring Them Back To Life.

On 2/11/2007 with the help of Bill Weber, father of the creator of Directmatches, I showed you How To Use SPAM To Your Advantage.

on 2/18/2007 we worked on Understanding The Benefits Of Upgrading Your Directmatches Account.

And on 2/25/2007 I gave some instruction on Using Reverse Reply Marketing To Build Your Downline.

I want to thank everyone for making my first month a successful one. The month ahead will be a good one. Be on the lookout for some great stuff. I am currently putting together a small series of posts discussing how the Directmatches “binary comp plan works” works, how you make money and some strategies associated with it. Until then.

In this post I am going to show you a very inexpensive way to promote any website. This inexpensive way is viral marketing. A great viral marketing website that you will want to check out is Program Hoppers.

The site uses the power of hit multiplication to promote your site. When you enroll people who want to promote their site, you get more unique visitors; you find 10 people, you receive up to 100,000 additional unique visitors, you find 25 people then you receive up to 5,000,000 additional unique visitors, and so on and so on.

Straight from the Program Hoppers viral marketing website, here’s a simple description of how it works:

Forced Advertising

The price of admission to the Program Hoppers system is to visit five member sites.

Each site visited contains a unique code which is valid for an undisclosed amount of time. You will spend no more than ten seconds to generate the code which provides guaranteed reading time for all ads listed by our members.

Your personal listing is about to be part of this process. When you join our system, your item’s URL and description will be listed in the Site #1 position to begin. As more and more members join your personal ad network, leverage becomes part of the process to help generate thousands of views and clicks to your listing.

The Process

A. On the main page, visit each of the five links that lead to member websites.

B. Collect each of the five unique codes and enter the details into the provided fields.

C. Enter the URL to the site you would like to promote.

D. Enter the description for the site you would like to promote.

Leverage

As a new Program Hoppers member and business builder, it should be your goal to have no less than 5 (try to shoot for 10) or more people who will enroll through your unique referral link. This will trigger a duplication pattern which generates thousands of new unique visitors to your website.

The larger you grow your personally sponsored team, the larger and quicker your entire team will develop with your ad being displayed in five advertising positions.

This system is dependent on each member generating new visitors to their site. If you do nothing, you will have nothing to show for it. If you do something, the results are quite impressive.

As a Premier Member (Paid/Upgraded) of our system, you will leverage the entire community with your ad listed on each member page. Complete details are found within your account manager for this option.
