But only for 19 hours. If you missed the initial offering of this course, that took Mike Dillard from waiting tables to six-figures in 18 months, here's your chance to get it now. This is his complete blueprint to exactly duplicate what works to build a MLM organization today.
I highly recommend following Mike's lead if you are serious about making money with network marketing. It is not as easy as is implied when you are starting out and this really is must-know information that most MLM sponsors do not know how to teach.
Watch the video here for all of the details:
MLM Traffic Formula 2.0
So the window you're looking at here is 19 hours, from 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM Central.
My best,
Tracy

iJango Portal Video - New
I just finished watching this new iJango video:
It looks cool, and it is functional, but I don't get the excitement...AOL did this already (but they aren't paying out commissions). So the "new" factor isn't there.
Getting paid on everyone who uses your portal to buy something is nice. But remember, it's up to YOU to drive that traffic.
These days I get queasy when I watch the people at the end who are raving about how excited they are...I've been there, done that and have more T-shirts than I care to count:-) (I know, I know, that just makes me one of the "losers" who didn't try hard enough to succeed.)
Hey, maybe I'm clueless about iJango, it very well could make millionaires out of some people. I'll go out on a limb and predict those people will most likely be the founders and those who already have a big network or the $ and know-how to promote it off and online effectively.

MLM and Article Marketing
Are you writing and submitting articles about your MLM product or service yet? Are you doing it by hand, one at a time? If so, you're going to love this new software. And if you're not doing article marketing because you hate writing then listen up:
You can have 100 unique articles ready to auto-post to the directories within seconds of writing just one (or re-working some plr, or outsourcing the writing to a freelancer for a few dollars).
You read that right. Write just one piece of say 300 to 500 words, and parlay that one-time effort into 100 (or often a lot more) unique pieces of content to post to article directories. And if you've shopped around for article spinners and realized they are all junk, you'll be please with this software. I can't explain the technology, but I have seen the output and the articles read well. You just need to make sure that what you start with is high quality (everyone's heard of GIGO by now, right? Garbage In, Garbage Out)
OK, so it'll write you a bunch of articles, but now you're telling me you don't want to sit for 12 hours to do the posting yourself? Then you really need to check this out, because not only does it re-work your writing, but it auto-posts to the directories for you. In a word: Sweet.
So if you're not yet using this powerful Internet marketing technique, for whatever reason, or if you're doing it the hard way, check out this system and you will probably change your mind today. It's that powerful and EASY.
Article marketing software
Oh and there's a special offer running right now. No not one of those bogus ones where they pretend the sale ends at midnight:-)

iJango New on the MLM Scene - Tread Carefully
iJango is a new MLM network marketing company that I looked at over the weekend, on the recommendation of a friend who is involved. Just Google the name to find the site and watch the video I'm commenting about below.
When you hit their site, a video starts automatically (annoying) and it's the "genius" behind the idea, Cameron Barrett Sharp, (Barrett? Another Barrett?) who looks very sharp, by the way, telling you how he thought of the idea. He is fairly good looking and young, which never hurts in this manipulation, er, relationship business.
Knowing what I know from being with ITV Ventures, I was personally sickened by his presentation. Why? He has that practiced, perfectly timed stutter that makes him seems oh so genuine, a little awkward and easy to like and therefore believe, ala Donald Barrett. Ugh.
He based this company on what people would pay for, even if the economy is bad. So the idea is to "multi-level Google." Then he goes on to list lots of search engines and social sites (Internet top ten), and they all have one thing in common is that they are free. (though they aren't all search engines, obviously...)
So he has filed patents to protect his idea, and "for the 1st time in the history of MLM he is able to give something away and make a tremendous amount of money." Hmmm...right, see the prices to be a rep below.
He's offering free Internet services (not new...) but he says this is an opportunity to get paid from these activities. He quotes a bunch of statistics, and asks if you'd like to get paid whenever someone uses the Internet? Sure, yep that'd be fine with me.
He goes on to say, you need more than a great idea. So he partnered with Steve Smith from Excel who knows something about MLM;-) According to Mr. Sharp, Mr. Smith said "it's the biggest thing I've ever seen," and he dropped everything else he was doing and got involved.
Sharp goes on to say "You can create incredible wealth because you are in the right place, and the right time," blah, blah, blah. That they're "poised for explosive growth," aren't they all?
I dug a little deeper to see what it cost to join and found a $50 option and a $149 option. Not bad, but when I got to the sign-up form (just doing research, not really joining) the only option right now is the $149, plus I think it was a $20 fee for the privilege or something.
My understanding is that iJango reps get their own iJango portal page, and when they drive traffic to it, they earn commissions. Sharp was talking about how you can make money off of activities that people are already doing like texting, surfing, searching, ect. I have no idea how money is made, I just know that until something is sold, no one can make any money...so I can't easily see how I can make money off texting for instance, since people pay for that through their cell phone carrier...maybe they will be offering cell plans? Not very new, but I'm just guessing here.
The money probably comes from getting other reps to join as well, and frankly I don't care if I'm wrong, and I'm not going to spend any more time reviewing their compensation plan to get it right. If you know and want to, please leave a comment.
To sum this up, I couldn't get excited about iJango, though my friend is "sorry to see me miss out on this" so she clearly sees something I don't. A variable here is that she has a big list of MLMers and I don't, which might be what makes this and the many other mlm's she promotes appealing to her. I guess that could cloud one's judgment.
All I see here is an opportunity to have a cool feature-rich website that you can make money with, but that you still have to figure out a way to drive traffic to. That's not new.
I suggest learning how to drive traffic that doesn't cost you a fortune FIRST (hint: lack of traffic is what puts most Internet marketers of all ilks out of business), and then you might be able to make money with iJango, or most any Internet business or any MLM for that matter, if that's the business model that appeals to you.

P.S. The Ripoff Report has been wrong before, but I just found this article about Cameron Barrett Sharp (lists his pseudonyms, too) at their site and think it's worth adding to this post. Might take a minute to load, did for me.

My Husband Went to a MLM Quixtar Meeting...
A friend mentioned yesterday that her husband had been to "one of those multi-level business MLM meetings." The company was Quixtar (which is Amway no matter how you slice it). She said "I told him no way! Those things are all scams."
So I piped up and gave her my opinion, which I had never actually spoken aloud to anyone until then. So I didn't really know just what I was about to say.
Based on my own personal experience, I told her how I really feel about network marketing these days. I told her that MLM isn't a scam, it's a legitimate business model, but it's not right for most people. Because most people burn through their warm market with the initial excitement, and then quit because most of their friends aren't interested in being entrepreneurs or sales people.
This means all the money spent up to that point is lost. Sure you get some good products, and might settle in as a customer (just what the company is hoping) but the income you were imagining never materializes. (I didn't bore her with the litany of companies I've been with, including Quixtar, and only spent money, never made much or nothing.)
I told her that though they make it sound easy at the meetings, it isn't easy in practice. I then told her that, based on his personality, her husband is probably among the small percentage of people who could do really well in MLM. Then I said that even so, I don't recommend it because to be one who is wildly successful, you often must bring in a lot of "sacrificial reps" along the way.
What do I mean by that? Well, I mean those charismatic, outgoing people who are able to persuade and charm people into joining, even though the likelihood of them succeeding too, is slim. And so you won't feel bad for them, you're taught by your upline that those who fail are just losers who won't "do what it takes" to make it and so deserve to fail.I don't know if he will go ahead and take the plunge, either way is OK of course, but I felt compelled to tell my friend what I feel is the truth of MLM. Most people won't make the big money they entice you with at those meetings, and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
What do you think? I know there are some successful network marketers out there and maybe you're one of them. Or maybe you're new to all this. Either way, please leave a comment as this is an important topic. And keep it civil please.

what I'm up to these days...
Fortunately for me, MLM isn't the only way to work at home.
I've started developing web properties, providing valuable information for hot niches. Here are a few links to my newer sites:
Home Real Estate Appraisals
Portable Home Generators
Tupperware for Food Storage and Preparation
As for MLM, I'm still with Amazon Herb Co, and highly recommend their new herb drink called Zamu.
What are you doing? I'd love to hear so comment soon!

Cash Flow a Problem as you build Your MLM Business?
Budgeting enough money to get your home business off the ground can be tricky.
Each time you turn around you seem to spend every dollar you have on advertising and find you're still not getting ahead in your business.
It basically will nickel and dime you to death.
You really can't get ahead in your business if you have to spend a ton on advertising, especially when you are first starting out.
Wouldn't it be nice if someone could show you basically step by step how you can build your home business without spending a ton of money while doing it?
Well, there is some good news.
I recently came across something that I think will really help your business as it has mine.
It is a videos series by a guy named Mike Dillard called "Building On A Budget".
In these videos Mike shows you how to build any home business for $500 or less.
I took these free videos and purchased his ridiculously low priced book, and within two weeks of applying the techniques he teaches and am now getting as many as 10 new qualified prospects per day.
The best part is that I did not spend much money while doing it.
Now I have the tools to grow my business without getting nickel and dimed to death.
You can get free access to these videos by going here...
Enjoy your new found wealth,

ITV Ventures Becomes EVS Group and Changes A Lot! So I'm Changing, Too...
ITV Ventures mlm is no more. The new comapny that Donald Barrett is creating is called EVS Group. right now only existing ITV IBO's can sign-up and there is an evaluation that you have to pass to recieve the free calls.
You will need to pay $100 to recieve 2 bottles of the new product Barrett has created (a combo of three of his former ITV products - no name released until Oct convention) and 25 free calls.
If you pass the evaluation of your first 25 calls, you can continue to receive free calls. If not, you can try again - up to three tries. I have heard that they expect about 3 in 10 people to make it (i.e. be good enough at closing sales to stay on as reps).
And you must stay on script verbatim, including all included upsells.
So if that sounds good to you, and you are an IBO or former IBO, you can sign up and pay $79.90 a month starting in October 2008, plus the $100 for each product you want to take calls on. I think it will just be the one product to start.
There are too many uncertainties in this for me to recommend it very highly at this point, so I am making a change. To learn what I'm doing now, listen to this recorded call:
(212) 990-6973

Yes, I am Still Active with the ITV Ventures Home Business!
This is an old post, so don't be confused. ITV Ventures went out of business on Oct. 1st, 2008. I'm now helping others learn what the pro's do to build huge MLM/Network Marketing businesses using the internet.
Just a quick post to let my visitors know I am indeed still active with ITV Ventures. I have been neglecting my blogs, but still ranking well on Google. So I’ve had a few people calling me to ask, since I haven’t posted in awhile, if I was still with ITV.
Things are going well. The company is making some significant changes that will pan out for the better. Some rough spots too. I was hoping to be able to take Naked Mineral calls by now, and Figo, the organic acai berry juice is just a distant dream…:Last I heard there was a problem with the manufacturer getting the ORAC values right. I’m secretly hoping they are rethinking the name, though. I guess not so secretly…
So that’s my update. Still the best home business going, and a great time to get in position and start building your residual income:-)
Be well,
Tracy

"So How's It Going with ITV Venutres?"
Tracy Austin here. People are wondering how my ITV business is going, so I'm posting a quick update here.
I am still with ITV, doing better than I personally ever have in MLM. The difference is the Home Agent Program, which is up and running now, though not with as much media and variety as I would personally like to see.
ITV is 9 years old, but the mlm aspect is new (about 20 mos) and so there are growing pains. This is why those who get started now and stick with it, earn the big bucks.
If you are easily put-off when things are not perfect, wait awhile before joining ITV. If you can roll with a few ups and downs while the kinks get worked out, join now:-)
I believe ITV is on the fast track to becoming one of the best-ever MLM home business opportunities.
Hope you have a spectacular day! Call me anytime with your questions.
