The Ultimate Marketers Toolbox

By Janet Legere | November 20, 2013 | Comments 13 comments

Is GVO The Ultimate Marketers Toolbox?

When marketing on the internet, sometimes you feel like your head is going to explode! The amount of tools, systems, and services out there will make your head spin which make promises of easy riches when you use them.

Every day, there seems to be another “magic tool” that pops up promising millions of visitors to your site and large sums of money in your bank account….effortlessly.

It can get overwhelming and take focus away from what you should be doing to build your business.

As you know, there are tools out there that not only make your life easier, but keep your business running on auto-pilot for you.

The trick is to know which ones to focus on and which ones to stay away from!

Let’s go through the essentials which every top internet marketer depends on a daily basis to run their million dollar businesses…

1) Web Hosting

Obviously, without hosting, the internet would be a pretty boring place to hang out. If you have a domain name, you need a place to host it so others can find you.

Hosting companies out there range from free all the way to over $500 a month for dedicated hosting.

The key is to find a company that provides 99% uptime and also provides 24/7 support in case you ever have a problem.

And of course, just like anything, you get what you pay for.

2) Auto-Responders

Have you heard the phrase, “The Money Is In The List?”

Well, having an autoresponder and building a list that knows, likes, and trusts you is the fastest way to literally pushing a button and having money coming in your bank account… faster than you can say… Hot Biscuits!

The formula is simple.

Create a page that gives something of huge value totally away for free. This could be a free report, a video lesson, an audio interview, or a live webinar.

Then, in exchange for your free information, the visitor will give you their name and email address.

And then the magic happens. You can follow up with them automatically and offer more value and even get them to buy something!

This is all done using an auto-repsonder, all automatically and efficiently for you.

Again, companies providing auto-responders range from $20 a month up to $99 a month.

3) Video Hosting

The internet is all about video. And without some type of video on your website, most people will simply not hang around.

Video allows you to bond with your visitor and create more trust than with just words on your site.

We’ve all heard of YouTube for sure. But is a free service that is known for pranks, jokes, and music videos the right image for your business?

There’s a reason the top marketers host their videos through paid services and you should to.

4) Website Builder and Prospecting System

99% of internet marketers don’t have the time and/or the skills to create their own websites or prospecting pages. Trying to learn website design and html code is not the best way to spend your time.

That’s where website builders come in. You simply customize your pages with your own video, product info, auto-responder, and you’re done!

5) Live Webcasts

The most powerful way to sell is face to face. You get instant feedback and customers can ask questions and get their answers immediately.

Since we don’t want to meet all our visitors in person… Webcasts are the next best thing.

We can sit in the comfort of our own homes and present to people all over the world. Product demonstrations, video overviews, live questions and answers, it’s all possible with Webcasts.

If you’re not using Webcasts in your business, you are missing out on thousands of dollars of sales.

Typical companies charge between $49 to $99 a month and more.

The Top 5 Essential Tools

These are the top five tools that every top marketer uses and depends on a daily basis to make sales on auto-pilot.

And you can too.

Now, you can get all these great tools from different companies and pay between $150 to over $350 each and every month.

Or, you can make the smart decision and get them all from one company and save a huge amount of money.

GVO offers all these tools under one roof and for only $9.97 a month. That’s about the cost of a large Starbucks coffee!

And the best part is, for a limited time, you can take advantage of all these amazing tools and profit with them for only a $1.

Don’t decide now, use all the tools and see how powerful they are and how they will help explode your business online right now.

Go here for your test drive:

Pure Leverage Review

Janet Legere Reviews Pure Leverage

While it’s early days, the early days have certainly been exciting!

Pure Leverage is a complete suite of tools for the avid Internet Marketer!

Professional Auto-Responder
Professional Lead Capture Pages
Professional Video Email
Professional Web Conferencing
Professional Income

Yes, I said Professional Income!

When Joel Therien of GVO – Global Virtual Opportunities, explained what Pure Leverage was and how they were paying, I just about had a heart attack. I was so excited my skin vibrated.

Why am I excited?

Branding You and Your Business

Regardless of what your business is, you need to create a personal brand online. This is all about creating fame and part of what we teach at the Contact List Builder (CLB) Internet Marketing Training Center.

The Suite of Tools offered at Pure Leverage are everything a person needs to get started building a list and making money online. This fits perfectly with our training at CLB as it now offers our members a simple way to be up and running and building a list immediately. It literally takes 5 minutes to setup your Pure Leverage system.

When you follow the strategies we teach at CLB, you’ll soon see how Pure Leverage makes sense. List building is the most important aspect of Internet Marketing success.

Second to List Building is creating your Brand and with the new Authority Blog at Pure Leverage, you will be able to do just that! I am excited for the release of the blogging system as I know many active ‘bloggers’ who will take full advantage and we, at CLB, will help our members learn how to use the blogging system to continue their fame building and brand recognition.

Making Money with Pure Leverage

Those who know me know that I rarely talk money – I know that if you focus on building your list and following the strategies that we teach at CLB, you WILL make money. How much you make is up to you.

Until now … with Pure Leverage, we saw the perfect opportunity to add a Primary Income Program to Contact List Builder.

And so we set about to do just that.

Pure Leverage is now listed as the Primary Income Program in the Contact List Builder Downline Builder. Through CLB, we will teach our members all the simple steps to setup and use the Pure Leverage system most effectively.

Their income will grow by default as they use the system. As they learn to “feed their funnel”, they will see their list of subscribers grow along with their customers, re-sellers and VIP members at Pure Leverage.

When you refer someone to Pure Leverage as a customer, you earn 100% of their $24.95 fee and then the following month, you will earn 50% of their renewal AND if they upgraded to Re-Seller, you then earn 50% of what they earned that second month (residual only). If they upgrade to VIP, you earn 100% of the $97.00 and then 50% of the residual each month following.

So let’s say you sponsor Mary and Mary earns $1000 from renewals. You would earn $500 JUST FROM MARY!

Imagine sponsoring 10 or 20 or 100 Mary’s?

It IS possible.

We’ll show you the simple steps to follow every day to get the results you need to drive your income skyward.

Build your list, create your brand and make money online with the Contact List Builder and Pure Leverage. A Purely Genius Partnership!

5 Steps to Create Your Brand

By Janet Legere | February 18, 2012 | Comments 0 Comment

The 5 Steps to Branding You

The Internet can be a great place to find people who share the same passion as you, people who may be interested in the business, product or service that you offer. How can these people find you? Through Personal Branding …

Enjoy the Recorded Webinar on 5 Steps to Branding You with Janet & Don Legere

What is Branding?

Whatever business, product or service you are promoting, you need to get it in front of people. You rely on people in order to make money in your business. And if you don’t yet have a business, well the best way to build one is from a responsive list of contacts.

In order to create a responsive list of contacts, you need a place where people can learn more about you, your passions and your business. You need a place where you share your experiences and your skills.

Branding you on the Internet is all about creating an environment where people can get to know, like and trust you. When someone gets to know like and trust you, they will buy from you and become repeat customers and loyal members.

How does one go about creating a brand online?

The 5 Steps of Creating a Personal Brand

There are basically 5 steps needed to create your personal brand. As with any setup, each step in itself may contain many smaller steps. The 5 main steps to branding you are

Registering a Domain Name
Hosting Your Domain and Installing WordPress
Setting up a professional auto-responder and subscriber optin form
Writing posts and recording videos
Getting Traffic

Let’s start with talking about registering a domain name.

Step 1. Your Domain Name

It’s important that you register a domain name that has your name in it such as janedoe.com. If your name is a common name, such as Jane Doe, then you may need to consider adding a hyphen jane-doe.com or getting creating with things like whoisjanedoe.com and janedoeonline.com. By now, you are getting the picture.

The important thing here is that the domain includes your name.

You can purchase domains and an reliable Domain Registry such as GoDaddy or eNom Central or Name cheap to name a few.

When you register your .com domain name, you are simply buying the name. Now you need someplace to ‘host’ your domain.

Step 2. Hosting Your Domain

Hosting your domain is something you need to think about before jumping in. You want to make sure to use a reliable Host Provider. There are several popular ones, HostGator comes to mind as the most popular and affordable host.

Our recommendation is GVO / HostThenProfit (HTP). GVO (Global Virtual Oppotunities) offers solutions from $9.97 per month with HTP to $44.95 a month for the full Titanium Package with GVO.

At HostThenProfit, for $9.97 per month, you receive hosting for up to 4 domains, a professional auto-responder with up to 5 campaigns and 500 subscribers, video hosting for up to 5 videos (commercial free) and a small video conference room perfect for small meetings.

Setting up your new domain and installing a WordPress blog is simple and we offer full instructions for the GVO installation. Most hosting companies offer video training (as does GVO), so setup is very simple and common at most hosts.

Setting up your Domain with a WordPress blog will take anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes depending on your experience.

Don’t spend too much time selecting themes at this point, download a few and pick one that feels good, it’s fairly simple to change the theme down the road.

We want to get the entire blog working so we can start using it to build those relationships 🙂

Step 3. Setup Your Auto-Responder and Optin Form

Regardless of what business you are promoting, you need to be building your list and you NEED a professional auto-responder. In Step 2. we discussed GVO and HostThenProfit, both services offer a professional auto-responder. Other great options include GetResponse, AWeber and TrafficWave. There are many others, those are the top 4 (including GVO).

Setting up your Auto-responder is fairly straight forward and involves setting up a campaign or list, setting up some followup messages and creating an optin form.

Initially, all you need is a simple followup email to reply to your subscriber once they confirm their email address. Normally this initial email includes a link to a free report along with your contact information.

Each auto-responder is a bit different and very similar and they all offer simple steps on how to setup your list. The importance here is getting this setup and your Optin Form on your blog.

The Optin Form normally is placed as a Text Widget in the Side bar. It is recommended that the form be right at the top of the side bar (the first thing your visitor sees on the right or left (right is preferred)

Remember, there will be plenty of time to pretty up your new blog and add your profile information, About page, etc. Let’s get the basics done so we can have someplace to start telling our story and sharing our passion.

Step 4. Writing Posts and Recording Videos

Yes, video … you CAN record your own videos, it’s easier than you think and so is writing blog posts.

People get afraid of writing blog posts thinking they need to be award winning authors, when that is just not true.

All you need is something to write about … so here are some ideas …

Write about your experience as you experience it here online … your first post can be about your experience installing your own domain and setting up your fist blog!

Write about your passion … what excites your, your hobbies. People are interested in what you do and who you are and the more you share about your passion and your experience, the more you will attract people who like what they read … people who will subscribe to your list and become long term repeat customers and business builders.

Write about the webinars you attend. If you attend training webinars and learn useful information, come and write about it on your blog. People are interested to hear what other people learn. If you apply what you learn, share your results. I do encourage you to ALWAYS apply what you learn 🙂

That should be enough to get you going. Your post does not have to be long, 3 or 4 paragraphs are plenty. Once your post is written, you will not want to record a video to add.

Recording a Video is simpler than it looks. All you are going to do is introduce your blog post. So let’s say you wrote a blog post about the Webinar you attended on the 5 Steps to Brand you and from that webinar you learned the importance of taking action. Your video script may look like this:

Hello and welcome to my website. My name is YOURNAME and today, I want to share with you a post I wrote about a webinar I recently attended where I learned all about the 5 Steps to Brand yourself and the importance of Taking action. I hope you enjoy my post and encourage you leave your comments. If you aren’t already subscribed to my list, you’ll find the form on this page, be sure to signup for my free report. Thanks and have a great day.

With script in hand, you press Record on your Webcam and read the script. Practice it a few times first – the more natural you can sound the better.

If you decided to go with GVO/HTP, you will be able to upload your video to the Easy Video Producer area OR you can upload it to Youtube. Once uploaded, you will be able to create an embed code that you will paste into your blog post at the top of the post.

And that’s it, you have created your first WordPress blog and written your first post and recorded your first video. Congratulations … now we need to get traffic to your blog.

Getting Traffic To Your Webiste

There are many ways to get traffic to your blog. You can us Traffic Exchanges (yes they work) and even Safelists. We talked recently on one of our webinars about how effective it is to send an email to a Safelist or Credit List and ask members to comment on your blog. While there, they may subscribe to your list if you are offering something of value OR if they like your post!

Social Networks are a great place to get people to read your blog posts. You can get involved in groups and share with members, you can ask your friends to read and comment. Using Social Networks to share your blogs creates a strong bond between you and your Facebook friends as they begin to see the value you are offering rather than prospecting them directly for your business.

Another way to get traffic to your blog is through article marketing. With article marketing, you can write an article on a topic and then direct your readers to your blog to read the topic in more detail. Article marketing can be fun and profitable.

And that’s all there is to Branding You. Remember, your blog is like your “home”. It’s where visitors get to know, like and trust you. This creates long term customers and repeat buyers and will attract the right people to your business. Keep it real, keep it about your experiences and your passion and watch how your business grows.

Happy Branding!

Instant Video Articles

By Janet Legere | March 21, 2010 | Comments 22 comments

NOTICE: The video may seem to run fast and you may not have time to read all the words … I set the speed to go through quickly … YOU can slow it down or speed it up. YOU have full control! This “video” is for demonstration purposes. Experience the power of Video Marketing

http://www.janetlegere.com/iva

UPDATE 03/22/2010: I added controls to the video from Easy Video Producer, so now you can pause and replay the video and read each of the slides. Enjoy!

Instant Video Articles

Content … Content … EVERYWHERE!

Well … do I need to say any more than that? There’s the power of video, and there’s the power of Instant Video Articles explained.

This great bit of software can serve many purposes.

When you create an article for your Article Marketing Traffic Strategies, you can copy and paste from that article to create three or four short videos to mount on YouTube, Easy video Producer, etc.

You can use it to create videos for sale pages in GVO eResponder templates … the list goes on and on.

The video you just saw above was made using the software and the Audacity Audio Studio Software, which is free and a great tool as well.

IVA will merge in any audio files, but to time them to fit with your video you need to edit the music or track.

Audacity is a great and simple free tool that will do that for you. It will even let you record a voice track if you want to include narration … and you can do that over music if you like!

One Note (If you’ll pardon the pun): Be careful what music you use or what audio track.

Make sure you don’t have any problems with rights. Search on Google for “Free Bumper Music” … you’ll find tons of things you can use.

So … what can I say?

My video said it all. Seriously, take my advice and grab this little sucker before it gets so popular they come to their senses and raise the price.

I mean … for $17 it doesn’t get any better than this. You can find out more and get your copy right now by visiting:

http://www.janetlegere.com/iva

If you want to get your free copy of the Audacity Audio editing software, you can do so at: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Get your hands on those two little but powerful tools, and you’ll be churning out video content like an ANIMAL!

Once you’ve got them … be sure to watch the tutorial … and then contact me if you need any help. I’d be glad to help get you going the first time.

After that … it’s EASY! Have a GREAT Day!

Belly to Belly Online Marketing?

By Janet Legere | December 4, 2008 | Comments 2 comments

I don’t know who it was coined the phrase “You may not be doing what you love doing but you better love doing what you are doing”.

I’m of the mind one should always do what one loves doing, it’s my motto and what directs me.

When Don and I first started with our primary company, Shaklee, we realized that this company was truly a “belly to belly” company. These products were shared mostly through referral marketing in an offline atmosphere either through home parties or one on one presentations.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against “belly to belly” marketing and I do know how absolutely powerful it can be. I’ve had the privilege and honour to meet many Shaklee Masters who built their entire business “belly to belly” in every sense of the traditonal Network Marketing world.

Honestly, I have the greatest respect for anyone who can build a Network Marketing company the ‘Belly to belly” way … and in all reality … I sure could if I really wanted to and if it was something I loved doing. I could even learn to love doing it if I felt I “had” to … however …

Try as I might, I have not yet mastered the art of loving ‘Belly to belly” marketing in the offline world. But what’s even more interesting is the vast numbers of people that I meet every day who feel exactly the same.

They do not want to build there business in the traditional way.

And what about those individuals who live in small communities or are unable to leave their homes? If we are to believe that “belly to belly” marketing is the only way to build a network marketing business then how will these individuals ever succeed at doing it if they can’t get “belly to belly”.

Ok … hold on a minute … who ever said one cannot do “belly to belly” marketing online?

Seems to me that most of the people I meet online are very friendly and communicate with me … while we may not meet face to face, our form of connecting and communicating can be just as “belly to belly” as traditional offline marketing techniques. Over the years I have developed some very strong business relationships with people I have never met.

There is no reason whatsoever that I can think of that would stop any person from using the Internet to do “belly to belly” marketing for their primary business.

I do it every day and I teach others how to do it too. Anyone can create a “belly to belly” business relationship in a global market through the use of Internet tools and resources.

At one time … people learned to use a new piece of technology called a telephone that allowed you to communicate with someone without being “belly to belly”. The Internet is simply another evolution in communication that anyone can learn to use.

At EarthFriendlyBiz, we teach everyone … and anyone … how to use simple techniques to build a list and develop multiple streams of income while learning our “belly to belly” techniques to build their primary business.

I invite you to check us out … we ARE different than all the others. Our members all agree!

Visit http://www.earthfriendlybiz.com for down to earth, grass roots training that anyone can follow.

I guarantee you will see results and make money if you use my steps that are simple to follow and easy to understand.

If you are an experienced Internet marketer, I urge you to share this information with your team. Someone in your group wants to build their business online and I can teach them how.

Belly to Belly can be a real event online … it’s all in how to think it can be.

What are your thoughts on Belly to Belling Online Marketing?

I’d love to hear them.
