Who Is Linus Ruzicka?

Have you ever thought about how to generate leads from webinars?

Believe it or not, webinars are a great money making opportunity!

It’s just that there aren’t a lot of people using it, so now is the time to take advantage of some free training.


Here’s How You Do It:

**Disclaimer: This method will NOT work if you are doing a mastermind webinar with a group of people. It is too hard to add in your own affiliate links for each individual person. So I do not recommend that you present links unless there is a way to benefit the ENTIRE group (i.e. – a group marketing product that you have created).

(Hint hint…look out for one that we’re putting out in late August or early September).

The methods I’m going to talk about below are only if you’re doing the webinar by yourself.

Also, I prefer to use GoToWebinars for my webinars.  What I describe below is in the GoToWebinar format.


1. Catchy Title

Use something as simple as “Linus Ruzicka LIVE Q&A -Plus a Bonus “Open Immediately”

Make sure to put the “Bonus” in the message.

If you have other Copywriting skills, feel free to use them here too.


2. Put The Bonus In The Message

When creating the body of your message, make sure to put the link to whatever your free “Bonus” is inside the body.

It could be an e-book, video bootcamp, free coaching session, etc.

Whatever it is, just make sure that it’s valuable and you label it as the “bonus.”

This is the leverage piece you use to get the people to open your message PLUS, you’re giving them something of quality and value for free.

Also, in the signature of the message, this is where you place your first affiliate link that you want someone to visit.


3. “Where To Send Attendees”

If you are sending people to an affiliate link , here is the second spot where you place the affiliate link.

When setting up the webinar, it gives you an option of where to send the people to after you register.

Simply place your affiliate link in here, and after they register for the webinar, they will be redirected to your site.


4. Reminder Messages

When you set up a webinar, you can set reminders for your attendees.

Under the “Change Settings” section that you see after you set-up the webinar:

Select “E-mail notifications” in the drop down menu:

• Here you can customize the “confirmation email.”
• You can also send reminder e-mails to registrants and invitee’s.  Make sure that you set up all three to be sent at “1 day” “2 hours” and “1 hours”
• Then personalize the reminder message to include your affiliate link

5. The Webinar Itself

Since you are actually doing a webinar, a smart idea is to connect the topic of your webinar to your affiliate links.

For example, if you’re doing a webinar about qualifying your prospects make your content about that, then consider putting in your links to “Black Belt Recruiting” from Mike Dillard at the end of the webinar.

Also, then at the very end of the webinar, mention where you learned your skills in how to qualify your prospects and give them your affiliate link to Black Belt Recruiting.


6. “Follow-up messages” To Attendees

In the same drop down section, you can customize the follow up message that is sent to attendees that were on the webinar.

Set your affiliate link inside the message and schedule it to go out 1 hour after the webinar.


7.”Follow-up messages” to No-Shows

You can personalize a message that is sent to the folks that registered, but didn’t attend your webinar.

Again, customize the message to include your affiliate link and have it scheduled to be sent out 1 hour after the end of the webinar.

Make sure to “Save Changes” at the bottom and you’ve now monetized your webinars!

Advice: For the first few webinars that you do, you may want to warm them up to what you’re doing to get them used to seeing your affiliate links, so consider posting your affiliate links in only a few spots.

So there you have it – this is how you monetize and geerate leads from your webinars.

Guys,

Todays post is quick and easy:

A Quick Survey For you:  Click Here To Take Survey

And a little clue as to what I’m doing:

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

You guys…Seriously!

If you’re reading this right now, and you’re NOT at the No Excuses Summit, what was your excuse for not being here?

This is literally THE largest gathering of the minds of internet marketing leaders that this industry has ever seen.

Day #1 featured Jimmy Davis, Justin Christianson, Jeff Learner, Ray Fong, & Ferny Ceballos.

The content that they taught on just Day 1 alone was value enough to pay the full price of this event, but there’s still 2 more full days left!


Are You Starting To See The Big Picture?

The sheer amount of networking that I was able to do in this first day was INSANE.

I got the chance to meet people I’ve gotten to know on Facebook, or I’m following their blogs, or keep track of their videos.

I’ve gotten to network with people that are already 7 figure earners, because I chose to come to this event.  How powerful is that for branding?

And out of all of the people I’ve networked with, who knows which connection today will lead to a future partnership that has the potential to lead to hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

And believe me when I say this…I have already made 2 million dollar connections here in Vegas that have the potential to entirely change the face of how my marketing is done today.

So do you think that it’s possible that if you were here as well, that you might be able to network, build some new relationships, and strike out into a new territory that you have only dreamed of in the past?

That is why live events are so important!


But…

…I’ll be honest.  Not up until early this year, had I looked at the importance of live events, and training, and increasing my own value.

I didn’t realize that at all until just right before the New Year 2010.

It was then that I made a commitment to change not only my life, but the life of others as well.

And the easiest way to do that is to learn, train, soak in information, and network with people so that I can increase my own value to turn and give it to others.

And what a potential  wealth earning decision it was!

Anyways, enough about that.

Here is some videos and pics from Day 1 of the No Excuses Summit:

Without Further Ado, here is my Day #1 video:

Yo Le, Danny Noorian, and Linus kicking off the No Excuses Summit	Katie Freiling and I just before the show starts
Jordan Schultz and myself waiting for the Summit to start .	One of my mentors, Norbert Orlewicz, and myself at the No Excuses Summit after party

So there you have it folks!

This is some of the stuff you missed out on…but fortunately for you, this ENTIRE 3-Day summit was recorded and will be made available to you in the coming weeks so that you can learn from the same 17 speakers that I did.

Keep an eye out for my posts about Day #2 and #3 in the next few days!

Leaving No Networker Behind,





P.S. – See those little green and blue buttons at the top of this post?  I’d like you to click each one, because you’d help me out with a little experiment that I’m running.  I thank you for your help in advance!

You’re probably asking, “Contest?  What Contest?”

If for some reason you were unaware of a GLOBAL contest that was taking place over the last few months, let me share a few pieces of information with you.


One of The Benefits:

I’ve surrounded myself with the sharpest marketers on the planet, all of which are DOMINATING this industry leveraging one simple system to produce serious profits for their businesses.

These leaders from around the globe took place in a contest over the last 3 months, and the results are in.

You’re going to be shocked when you see who took home the prizes (they’re all essentially household names in our industry. basically anyone who is anyone is inside our core group learning from these rockstars each and everyday how they’re generating 100+ leads per day and sponsoring new recruits on a daily basis).

I’d be willing to bet that if you’ve spent any amount of time in our industry and online, then you’ve heard of at least half of these superstars:

So How Does This Benefit YOU?!

Well this Wednesday we’re going to be interviewing a handful of these leaders who are just CRUSHING it out there!

We’re going to dig deep into their marketing arsenal and pry out ALL their secrets.

How in the world did they manage to take prizes in a competition with THOUSANDS of marketers, which includes some of the best marketing talent to ever walk the earth?

It will all be laid on the table this Wednesday, June 23rd at 9:00 PM EST. Register here:

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

Last week I added a pop-over form to my blog site that is getting great results right now (7% conversion in a little under a week).

Since I added it, I’ve had people asking me how I got it on my site and if I paid for it to be custom made.

It’s an easy answer and it’s free!

Here’s a quick training video on how I did it so that you can add it to your blog in about 10 minutes as well.

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,






P.S. – Be sure to Click the Facebook Share and Retweet Buttons at the top of the post to help you spread some social networking, and me to get more eyes on this valuable training!

When I started blogging, after I wrote a blog post I started getting these things called “Pingbacks.”

I remember thinking to myself, “what are pingbacks and what am I supposed to do with them?

(No, it’s not Sean Connery in “The Hunt For The Red October” saying “One ping, and one ping only!”)

So I kind of blew them off for a while.

Then I started promoting my blog posts into articles using the Unique Article Writer, and within hours of articles being submitted, I started getting pingbacks like crazy.

So I took it as a sign to start digging deeper to define a pingback for myself and my team.


What’s A Pingback?

I’m going to use an example of my blog and article writing.

I post something on my blog and submit it to the article sites.

The article site accepts my article that links to my blog post.  This automatically sends a pingback to my blog when both have pingback enabled sites.

My blog receives the pingback, then automatically goes to the article site to confirm that the pingback did come from my site.


So What Do you Do With Them?

After starting to receive this massive flow of pingbacks, I had to take a look at what to do with them.

So I posted this question to the source I typically go to when I have these sorts of questions: Better Networker forums.

In fact, here is the direct link to the forum post that I created:  What Do You Do With Pingbacks?

I’ll let you read  the information that I found inside of the forum post itself, but I will high-lite the most important part here.


This Is Why I Go To Better Networker When I Have A Question

Thanks to Kurt Henninger I was able to find my answer.  So make sure to drop by his site and give him some love as well.  This guy knows his SEO strategies!

Because of Kurt, I have been implementing a New 5-step strategy for dealing with pingbacks and working to get them indexed in the search engines for the last few weeks.

When you receive a Pingback from an article site or any other blog, simply take the web address of that specific article site and run it through these following steps:

1. Pingomatic – It’s part of the WordPress family.  All you do is submit the web address of the specific article you submitted and put it in the site, and click “Submit to Sites.”  It will submit that URL to 21 different services notifying them of your new posted article.

2. Digg, Delicious, Reddit, Mister Wong – Social Bookmarking sites.  We all know the power of these sites.

3. Ice Rocket – This is a free RSS builder.  What it does is set up an RSS feed specific to your article.

4. Traffic Mania RSS Bot – Take the RSS feed from Ice Rocket and submit it to this program.  It will submit the RSS feed you just created in Ice Rocket to the many different RSS directories.  There is a $19.95 per month membership for this.  It is a powerful tool if your are going to use this strategy, so judge if you’re going to use the tool (and yes, this is my affiliate link),

5. Google Blog Search – Simply submit that same RSS feed from Ice Rocket to Google Blog Search.


Honestly, That’s It

Really, there is nothing more to it.

Now you simply let the webcrawlers do their work and start indexing your articles that contain backlinks to your blog posts!

Can you say SEO power?


Well, There Is One More Thing…

Since I know that you found something unique and useful in this post and will likely help out others in trying to figure out what to do with their pingbacks, there are two little boxes at the top of this post – the Facebook Share and TweetME button.  Make sure to take 7 seconds and click each one for me.  I thank you in advance!


Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

Ever have one of those moments where you tell someone to do something under the presumption that it COULD happen, but it never really does?

Or, at least you hope it doesn’t?

Like buy a fire-safe to store your valuables, just in case your house catches fire…

…or, back-up your digital photos on disc or external drive, just in case your computer is stolen by a Sasquatch…

…but thankfully, it never actually happens.


Here Is One That I Know I’ve Said At Least Once

Get a SELF HOSTED WordPress.org blog, because you never know if one of the free hosted ones on WordPress.com will ever go down.

(And yes, there is a difference in the .org and .com versions of WordPress)

Well, unfortunately, my warning has come true.

Earlier today ALL WordPress.com blogs, including VIP member blogs, crashed.

These are the ones that are hosted for FREE on WordPress.com

Here is a link to the story that I read:

http://mashable.com/2010/06/10/wordpress-com-goes-down-takes-thousands-of-blogs-with-it/


In All, Over 1,000,000 Blogs Were Shut Down

Now, if you were one of these users, I’m sure that your blood pressure increased to stroke status, seeing your blog nowhere to be found.

I can’t imagine the feeling of confusion and being ticked off at yourself knowing that you made a bad choice when you decided on going for the free hosting version.

I’m sorry…I’m a nurse, but I can’t prescribe you any blood pressure medications.

As bad as the addage is, you get for what you pay.


Sadly, The Story Doesn’t Get Any Better

At roughly 5:30pm PST, Twitter CEO, Matt Mullenweg stated: “WordPress.com blogs are back up. Founder/CEO Matt Mullenweg tweeted this: “The vast majority of blogs are back up, bringing up the rest over the next few minutes after we verify them.””

But then at around 6:30pm PST, the Twitter update Matt Mullenweg, stated: “WordPress.com and most of its blogs have gone back down, less than an hour after they were brought back online.”

OUCH!

At the time I’m writing this post, 9:30pm PST, there is still not a more recent update on the free hosted blogs on WordPress.com.


Imagine If This Were Your Business Site

What if you’re part of this group of blogs that are still down, and you’re dependent on your WordPress blog for your business?

I know for me, my blog is open for business 24/7, 365 (…yes, sometimes 366).

But it’s obviously a self hosted WordPress.org site.

If WordPress goes down, my blog does not.


My Point Is This:

I don’t mean this to poke fun at those that chose to use the free version of hosting.

I have some very close friends that use the free version.

But I need to say this:

There are plenty of other reasons to have a self hosted WordPress blog besides what is currently going on with the free hosted ones.  I won’t get into that here.

If you are a business owner building your business online, you need to take steps now to ensure that your online presence is legit.

As we say in the medical field, “an ounce of prevention now is worth a pound of cure.”

Be sure to take the necessary steps now to ensure you online presence isn’t hacked, shut down, deleted, or removed permanently.

Your business and your brand may depend on it in the future.

This is a lesson being learned by close to 1,000,000 WordPress.com users tonight.

“Bro - That’s Not How You Get More Blog Subscribers!”

Gotta Love a Loyal Following.

It was less than 24 hours since I posted Part 1 of the “10 Surefire Ways To Attract More Blog Subscribers” and you guys were clamoring for Part 2.

I apologize, but yesterday I posted our webinar link and registration for tonights Personal Mastermind webinar where you can come in, crack open our heads, and ask me or anyone of my 3 fellow Mastermind members any MLM Training question that you want.

I wanted to build the suspense for today post on Part 2 of the 10 Surefire Ways To Attract More Blog Subscribers.

So here you are, the remainder of the Top 10:


6. Become a Guest Blogger

Providing content to somebody else’s blog may sound a bit funny, but it is a creative plan to get exposure for your own blog and build your subscriber base.  Just make it clear to the blog owner that you require an brief section at the end of the post, with a backlink to your blog site.

Offer this back to the blog owner to guest post on your site as well.


7. Start A Podcast

Now this is a road I have never gone down, but it certainly a step in the future.

Start a related podcast on your material, and get it into iTunes and listed in the varied podcasting directories.

Mention your blog in each episode and the advantages of subscribing, and try and land some interviews with prominent players in your niche. Not merely will you be opening up a new promotional channel, you’re also making bonus content that may be reused as a part of your moral bribe campaign for new customers.

This would be an entirely new marketing strategy altogether.


8. Post in forums

A proven method since the first days of the web is to be a helpful and pro-active player in forums that are significant in your niche.  Folks will spot that you’re offering yourself up to others, and will likely be more inclined to see what else you’ve got to offer with your blog.


9. Networking

This is may be the most forgotten method for gaining traffic and customers. Don’t badger other blog owners for links, as it hardly ever works any more.  Discover a way to help them with something, and then eventually work that first graciousness into a business relationship and even fellowship.  There are real folk behind these blogs, and they reply to good will just like people do offline.


10. Cross-promotional deals

Here’s another cool way to use the Feedvertising plugin for WordPress.

Find a blogger that publishes related, but non-competitive content. Work out a deal where you both promote one another in your RSS feeds, using Feedvertising.

If one blog has more subscribers than the other, work out a deal that is fair for each blog. Since the Feedvertising plugin lets you create up to 6 revolving links, the smaller blog would push the larger blog steadily, while the bigger blog would reserve one slot for the smaller blog, and use the other slots for other cross-promotion deals.


So There You Have It…

Leaving No Network Marketer Behind,

You’ve come here to read this post because I’ve either sent you the direct link, you’re reading it from a syndication site, you’re a part of my team, you’ve found it on the web, or most likely – you’re looking for answers.  Answers to the question of where you can find that one “golden nugget” of MLM Training that explains the secret to online success.


“There’s Gold In Them Thar Hills!”

(No, this post isn’t about gold and silver coins)

Much like the prospectors of the 1800′s here in the Western U.S., prospectors set out on their search for gold and prosperity, hoping to find the motherload of gold to make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.

Now, while this is NOT the 1800′s and you’re not really looking for gold – that is exactly what’s happening currently in this industry.

People are jumping into online network marketing in droves, looking for that elusive path to fortune and prosperity.

But sadly, that path is more often paved with misfortune and distaste.

People blaming external forces when facing failure in not finding the fortune they had hoped for.

If someone had only explained more clearly where to find that “golden nugget”, had proper MLM training, or knew where to find that overwhelming secret to online success in network marketing.


The Location of This Secret?

Well, fortunately for you, you are reading this blog post, because I have something I want to tell you today.

I KNOW what that secret is…and I even know where you can find it!

It is a secret that was passed down to me by 3 different people over the course of a few months to a year.

These 3 people have amassed a fortune WELL into the 8-9 figure amount combined.

And the greatest part, not only are they close friends and mentors, but they are humble, friendly, smart, giving, and teaching people.


Are You Ready?

Well, you better be, because here it comes!

No matter how hard you look, no matter where you go to look for it, and no matter how long you spend looking for it – you are wasting your time.

Because believe it or not, you ALREADY have the answer!

You already know the secret to online success because it’s been with you your entire life.

That’s right my friend – it’s YOU!  You are the secret.  You are the missing part of the equation to your online success.


The Truth

The Secret to overwhelming online success is you!

You can have the best lead generation system, the best MLM training that the industry has to offer, the best primary company, the best upline, and the best marketing tools at your disposal.  You can have all of the bells and whistles to make this industry BOW to you.

But until you realize that you are the X-factor, or golden nugget, in this equation, then you will CONTINUE to fail and travel down that path of misfortune and distaste.


X+Y=Z

X= You, Y=Your online tools that I mentioned above, and Z=Your online success.

You are the part that makes this equation successful.

With the proper mindset, you can achieve ANYTHING with this equation.

It all depends on your purpose, focus, and determination.


That’s It!

Really, that’s all there is to it.  Honestly!

If anyone out there tries to tell you they have the ultimate secret for you, they’re blowing smoke up your butt.  Keep an eye out for it, because they will try.

They might have the tools, the best MLM training, or the company to make it appear that way, but they’re really only telling you they have that secret to get you to buy something or join something.

Ask any other successful entrepreneur, millionaire, businessman, or mentor, and they will tell you the same thing.

The real question now depends on you.

What are you going to do to make sure you remain in that equation as that X-factor?


For Starters…

…there is only so much that I can do to improve your mindset and determination.  Most of that is up to you.

But one of the places you can start with improving your training and appeal to others is actually on this blog page.

See over on the right side of this blog, my training video series called “Prospect Attraction Guide & 7-Day Attraction Marketing Blueprint”?

I take you through 6 hours worth of Video training to improve your Mindset, Marketing & MLM Training, and Access to a 4 Step marketing System that gets results every time.

You can claim your training and tools to help improve you and your marketing skills by simply entering your Name, E-mail, and Phone Number in the form below the DVD.  You will get your FREE training sent immediately to your inbox.
