This blog post is a reply to your questions and a message to those who have not been “plugging in” to the support and resources available. I do not mind helping anyone accomplish their goals, though some of the answers that you need are already available. I recently did an interview that played on Orange Leads and this Lea Charlton blog for quite a while. Our “Teamwork” team  posts information all over the internet on a daily basis … even at the Skype group. Check those locations as often as you can.

FIRST QUESTION & ANSWER: THE PAYER PLAYER

I’m a little confused about the player… On the website, when I go to earned commissions it says -0- but when I click on the icon by my clock and sign in it says i’ve earned $4.55.

Yes, we are in a beta launch and have been discussing any inconsistencies with The Payer Player. They are working hard to finalize the Admin features for their Phase 1 plans. This has included adjustments to the My Community and Payout modules. This is why we are seeing these details come together over the past few days.  From day one, Rocky has assured me that they can see everything on their side.

I always recommend that you send a Support Ticket with the details, so that they are double checking per your results .

When I look at my Community, it says that you have zero personally referred. This means that you will get paid that stated amount when you have personally referred and paid Players in your Community per what the top of my previous Payer Player Blog Post explains.

You have the potential to earn much more. You just have to 1) ask people that are close to you whether they are interested in helping you build your Payer Player or not and 2) define your first market and cater your ads, blogs and networks toward their potential interest.

SECOND QUESTION: INTERNET MARKETING QUESTIONS ANSWER

Lea,What are you doing to get those kind of numbers, safelists,PPC or what? This is where I have always had a challenge, I see people hitting high numbers of signups and can never get a straight answer as to how they did it “step by step”. Does it require a lot of advertising money to have effective campaigns? I have asked previous sponsors for a DMO (daily mode of operation) but without much reply.

No, I am extremely frugal in that respect. I would rather put in the “sweat equity”, “Contributional Markting” and “Teamwork”.  You will not read many posts where I tell people to spend money. Most ad services have a free and paid facet. Unless someone says they have the budget to advertise like that because they want to or need to make money more quickly then … yes, they can use paid advertising. I also do not tell people how much money they will make. I have used my test amounts as example with explanation of whether that amount was generated passively or through more aggressive marketing efforts.

First of all, as I explained when we connected at Skype, you can contact me for “real time” assistance at Skype. If I am not available at a particular time, then I ask someone – right then and there – to help you until I am off the phone or whatever. I am also available by phone . We may need to schedule depending on what is convenient for both of us, and I work with a team that will also help you. Some have specific strengths where it benefits you more to connect with them – like building computers / handling computer issues – video creation – graphic arts – etc.

*** I use the Orange Leads network as one of my “virtual offices” ***

Listen to the Orange Leads Blog Talk Radio on this post. I was one of the 3 Orange Leaders that was interviewed on this show. I help in the public chat room. I set up a convention center and homepage. I also leave the “teamwork” status posts for your review as much as time permits.

*** I post quick blogs on other’s sites and create my own blog websites ***

I am not the best writer / blogger though I try – the blogs are for people on our team and prospecting. They work.

*** Most of all, I spend A LOT of time working with people that need help and learning. ***

If you go to our “Teamwork Makes The Dream Work” network (this is assuming that you joined our “team builder” first), you will see that those groups are designed to give the members a solid start. Many come into marketing thinking it is just about advertising, so it takes a while for some to grasp additional concepts. I was like this, as well, and sometimes still do get excited enough to use advertising alone. It is really just a band aid when done alone. You need to market correctly for better conversions, associations and to automate your efforts.

Again, you can also schedule to work with me one on one – and / or – Skype.

The motive is to always strive to learn more and share what you have learned.

No matter how many years I have been in this industry, I am always learning daily – this is intentional – also people will just stop me and share if they see that I need to learn a concept or with general info.

Sometimes, I just stop what I have been doing and  just watch what people are doing for a while.  It drives me crazy because I like to “do do do”, but sometimes we have to slow down to watch successful people, learn and implement.

I have thousands of digital products and books that I skimmed and sat until I was ready to read them and apply.

This is extremely important …

HERE IS ONE THAT I WROTE ABOUT LEARNING FROM SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE:

” The most intelligent way to prepare, foster and do well in any industry is to learn from the experiences of successful people. Study what they did to get where they are. Get their guidance if possible. Listen to the advice of successful people while you are making decisions and moving forward in your business plans. YES, this sometimes means having to purchase their books, CDs or attend seminars. The greatest part is that most successful people will share some of their knowledge freely (even if only blog posts and articles). Another excellent move would be to partner with a coach or mentor of your own. This is a person that can become another set of eyes and ears for you. This mentor or coach will probably not end up becoming a business partner, but they will certainly help you along the way. It is their business is to help you become successful in your business. This guidance will help you along.”

THIS COMES FROM THE “GETTING STARTED” PAGE FROM ABCPROFESSOR.COM.

This is why I touched base with you yesterday.

We have been providing you with the information that you need for months. We have been sharing freely in Orange Leads (status posts, public chat, convention centers and ads). You recently joined the Skype group and have not been there. We also interact by Skype and Networks on a daily basis. Some is written down step by step in those areas. You probably have a wealth of resources that you bought over the past few months that have that information for you. People are blogging step by step strategies in entirety and in phases.

BASIC ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Many totally overlook that social networks and what the “new gurus” call “attraction marketing” (which is really just good positioning, providing value and good old fashioned networking) will take us a lot further than all the free classifieds and Pay to Clicks in the word. (Meanwhile, the new classified site that Timothy L Drobnick Sr is working on will probably make me put my foot in my mouth (a bit) on that last statement – LOL). 

REGARDLESS, THE CONCEPTS MENTIONED HERE ARE:

1) Positioning

This is ambiguous to me. EX: I am positioned at one of the best business social networks on the Internet – Orange Leads – VS – I am positioned on the first page of Google for the words “payer player” and “the payer player”. I am “positioned” with good teams. My marketing is positioned for a change over. (I will do a training on this ASAP)

2) Providing Value

Again, this is ambiguous. For some people, it involes getting their ad “out there”. This means they are marketing however they can “reach” people “on their level” because they know a specific program works. For another this could infer specific products or services – paid or  free – in order to build a connection with people that fit the parameters of who they want to work with or attract.

One of my “values” has been to invest in people. I know that the “new gurus” and business recruiters say differently, but this is something that is working for others and me. Taking the time for others and teaching them is invaluable.  I almost demanding this from everyone that I work closely with (mentor) even if it is to personally train their referrals.

We all love to have experienced “builders” and believe you me, I do attract people that want to work together in that capacity  and innovative business owners, but there is just as much value in taking the time to bring someone to the point that they are accomplishing their goals. This falls into place with our “Teamwork Makes The Dream Work” and what I have experienced via connections with “Ubiee” and “Peel Inc”.

This is the most quoted & least followed Zig Ziglar concept

~ You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want ~

What a lot of PEOPLE OVERLOOK is another one of his other most popular quotes:

~ What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. ~

Means to me … that having 3000+ personal referrals is both “good” and “bad” depending on what is achieved by “team effort” or not; “good” or “bad” depending on whether I walk in humility, position, provide value and they are happy with their individual development because they are accomplishing their goals. Either way, I am developing me, though not a success if we are not benefiting together.

Therefore, my saying that “I want to be the best” (per say) is only accomplished IF YOU want to “be the best” and then we are working towards that commitment to one another and our goals together. No matter the same business or not. Commitment & Goals are the key concepts here.

THIS IS WHY MY ORIGINAL MESSAGE TO YOU WAS TO REMIND YOU TO “CONNECT” WITH ME, OUR SKYPE GROUP OR SOMEONE ON OUR TEAM …

Ideally, you want to do all. You get the cliff notes on what you are trying to figure out. If someone pops in with a link, comment, advise, etc. there is value there for you to take and run with it or ask until you can. If you are stuck at any given time, there is support. If you want to learn alone, there is a resource to help you – in our case numerous resources – plus one on one support (sometimes flexibility is needed per schedules).

Yesterday, we had a last minute training which was really addressing what was holding a few people back from getting started and / or having results in a particular program. In this case, one was having technical issues that took my partner 6 hours to help them resolve. Another just needed me to navigate her to where she needed to start. The other had health issues and needed to catch up. Etc. Etc. Etc. The point is that we were all at the same place … at the same time … got much accomplished.

3) Good Old Fashioned Networking

“like begets like”

“I want to work with people like me”

“law of attraction”

“teamwork”

“evenly yolked”

“cut from the same cloth”

“partnering”

“meetups”

“associations”

“online friends”

“consultants”

How ever you want to say it, teach it or think it, nothing beats good old fashioned networking; not even video marketing.

When it all comes down to it, it is “people helping people” that is “what makes this world go round”.

Unless I found a program on impulse and see it as a potential for all, I am more likely to join a friend, associate or team member in a particular business or program. The same goes for tools and resources. I want to work with people that have similar – ideally the same – goals and values that I have. I want to meet and partner with others that contribute to and expand those for my team, friends, associates and me.

Most of us are moving TOO quickly opposed to SO quickly in this industry. Mostly because they want or need to make money as quickly as possible, though it is these attributes, expectations and friendships are what help me the most (I am saying “me” because you asked what has been working best for me). I have only been back in home business for less than a year. It feels as though I never left it for all of these years. This is because of the awesome people that I watched, shared with and learned from during this time, as well as the individual development that I intentionally set out to accomplish in order to work towards my goals. This began over 15 years ago for me – 10 years ago in regard to Internet marketing .  That is a long time to most who were more teachable than I was and / or remained in the industry all of this time.

Regardless, It has been a phenomenal year.

IN CONCLUSION,  I HAVE TO REFER BACK TO THAT “GETTING STARTED” PAGE ON MY ABCPROFESSOR.COM WEBSITE.

There is a statement that says: “The home business industry and the wonderful World Wide Web can bring any one of us to our knees if not careful. This happens every day!” There is obviously “good” and “bad” in this reality. That statement refers to the bad in an attempt to save people time because as I have explained, it has been many many many years of learning for my.

The plus is that my long learning process is now “cliff notes” for others.

Whether they are a initially that “teachable / coachable person” that we are conditioned to target or not. I DO NOT MEAN that you should KILL or ABUSE yourself to help others more than they are willing to help themselves, but part of that “interview script” must get put into action from the start because sometimes people just join you in a particular business without your inviting them. This is wonderful in most cases, though you can get people that have been used to “standing in their own way” for quite a while. In that case, you extend yourself. In some cases, you just cannot work with them at that time. There have been times that I have even paid my “partners” to help others that did not want to just … “follow instructions”.  I know exactly how it goes because I stood in my own way – on and off – many times. Regardless, this is business. The “bottom line” is the filter of how much you can extend yourself or not.

People were very kind to me.

This home busines industry or Internet marketing industry is not for everyone, though my reality says that it can be for most depending on how much they want to succeed. Some will “buck up”. Others will passively progress. Many just quit. Some will go broke. Some will make money. Some will get rich. Some will “succeed”. Some will fail. Some will strive to maintain.

The point is that being brought to your knees is “good” and “bad”.

It just depends on whether you learn or not, and what you do from there.

Hey, thanks for touching base … I look forward to seeing you over at the Skype group today – if you want to join Teamwork and go to that resource, it will help you as well. I think that is where you will have the most benefit and get your questions answered quickly without my having to write a book.
