Have You Ever Had One Of Those Weeks?

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On June - 29 - 2009


Ever had one of those weeks that you’d just soon forget?

One of those weeks that just doesn’t fit into what you’re used to?

Not that I am a negative person in any sense of the word.  I am quite opposite.  I THRIVE on positivity and creativity.  I practice the Law of Attraction myself.

Now, whether you believe in the Law of Attraction, serendipity, chance, or just odd-ball chances,  this last week was an odd one for me.

2 weeks ago I received 4 e-mails from PayPal stating that “Your money transactions are comple.”  They said that I tried to wire $3,125 spread out to 4 different e-mail messages.  Hmmm…that’s funny.  I don’t remember doing that…

Oh, here’s the jolly tidbit.  Apparently Paypal has an automated tool in their system that if any transaction is not completed in full (ex. not getting the full $3125 in the transaction) AND if you have a secondary bank account, they automatically reapply the remainder of the transactions against your other account 3 days later.  Yeah, I found that out the hard way too.

Long story short, I had to cancel 2 different debit-cards from my banks, close one account entirely, change all of my membership site payments, etc.

I knew I would be getting my money back, so I wasn’t worried about that.  It was just a HUGE pain in the ass doing all of this extra footwork, phone calling, and paper work that I didn’t plan on.

But, through the storm is a bright point that I get to pass along to you.  If you do have a Paypal account, there are some things you should do to make sure this problem doesn’t happen to you.

  • Do not list your bank account on Paypal.  To be a “verified” buyer on Ebay, they suggest you verify your bank account.  In reality, no!  Don’t do it.  If you have your account listed already, delete it.  You should only have a credit card listed to transfer money thorough.  Since I had my account verified on Paypal, that is how the hackers transferred money from my account to theirs.
  • The credit card you have listed should only be an online account.  Think of it like a second account that money from your primary account goes into when you make a transaction on Paypal.  Money gets transferred from “Primary Account A” to “Online Account B” then into Paypal.  This eliminates your primary account from even touching the internet.
  • Sign-up for a Security Key.  There are 2 forms of this.  You can sign-up to have PayPal text message you a random 6 digit code to only YOUR cell phone each time you try to log on.  This prevents someone from hacking into your account (which happened to me).  You then enter that 6 digit code into Paypal after you receive it.  Or you can purchase for $5 a security key to be shipped to you and keep in on you.  Each time you log-in to Paypal, hit the button on the security key, it will generate a random 6-digit code, and you enter it into Paypal to log-in.  Only YOU will have access to that code.  You can sign-up for it my doing a search on Paypal for “SecurityKey.”

I wanted to let you all know what I experienced so you don’t befall the same non-sense I had to go through.  If you have any more questions, be sure to drop me a message or look at the security features that your Paypal account has listed.

“Hard Work Pays Off” & “Slapping Google PPC Around”

Posted by Linus Ruzicka On June - 22 - 2009

This is what hard work will start to garner for you – Linus Ruzicka, 7 Day Increase, #10.

O.K., this may sound like I’m tooting my own horn a little bit, but really I’m not.  I’m noting this only to show you that it can be done.

What you see here is a screen capture of the Leader Board at MLM Lead System Pro (MLSP).  In the highlight above, you’ll find my name, Linus Ruzicka, at the Number 10 spot.

I broke into the Top ten in terms of Lead Generation over the last 7 days on June 18th,  thanks in part to what I have learned and am now teaching others to do as well over at MLSP.

Now this ranking may not seem significant to you, especially since I’m just in slot #10.  But let me put things in perspective for you.

Inside of MLSP, there are 4000+ members who are currently marketing online!  And over these last 7 days, I’ve generated the tenth most leads over everybody else in the system.

Now do you see the significance?  I certainly hope so!

Why’s this also significant to you?  Do you see any one else on that list besides myself that you know?

Anyone else there that you’re associated with that is generating leads

So now you’re probably asking yourself, “How’d he do it?”

Did I buy leads from a leads list?  No.

Did I spend hours on Twitter?  No.

Did I spend days marketing on Facebook?  No.

Did I spend days writing articles and submitting them to social network and bookmark sites?  No.

Did I spend days handing out sample packs or business cards?  No.

Did I spend hours on the phone calling family, friends, or cold market leads?  No.

I used only 3 resources – Facebook, my blog, and Google Adwords (PPC).  And of those 3, I really only focused on one – PPC.

Facebook and my blog were used to simply connect with my leads and build that ever important relationship with them.

Now you’re probably thinking, “Dang Linus, that’s all good, but how much did that cost you?  $250 – $500 for the campaign for 1 week? And probably $5-$10 per lead conversion?”

Nope – not even close!

To be completely honest, I spent $100 over a 2 week period, and attracted 50 leads.  That comes out to a $2/lead average.    And this was just a test run of a strategy I’m using!

When was the last time you attracted 50 leads in a 2 week period while just testing something?

Look at this next picture.  Over a 2 week period, look at this sample of some of the average costs per click (CPC), conversion rates, and cost/conversions for some of these ad groups.  Those numbers are unheard of in this industry!  People would KILL for these costs and percentages in their campaigns.

Most people are experiencing a cost per click of $0.50 – $1.00 or more.  Anyone with a conversion rate of 10% -15% is considered good, and typically spending $8-$10 per lead conversion.

Now, keep in mind this is only a test campaign I was running for a 2 week period.  That’s what is so sweet about it!  I did that much just testing it without much tinkering at all.

What would this look like when I expand it out into a full blown campaign?  Just wait and see.  I’m setting that up as I write this!

Where did I learn these strategies?

You know the answer – inside MLM Lead System Pro.

This is what it’s all about.  Taking what I’ve learned, putting it into practice, proving that it can be done, and showing you exactly how to do it as well.  Yeah…I could charge you well over $500 an hour for this training and be rich just from the training I would show you.  But why?  Just cause I can charge you for it doesn’t mean I’m a leader, it just means that I know PPC well enough.

Regardless, wouldn’t you like to have proof like what I showed you above as well?

That is what’s so great about this system, you can!

Go here now to learn more of what I do, where I learn it, and how to put it into practice.  You’ll see more of how to start generating leads just like this today into your MLM business.
