Network Marketing: What is Twitter ?

Twitter is another fantastic way to build and stay connected to your audience.

It’s probably one of the easiest social Web 2.0 sites to set up and start using.

As we should all know by now, building and communicating with an audience is the key to success in business.

That’s the fundamental message in the new network marketing model (also called ‘attraction marketing‘). By building an audience (such as an email list) you’re able to deliver ongoing information to your ‘contacts’ that is deemed valuable.

This builds you up as a trustworthy person to know, buy from, and do business with.

• You can put your ‘offers’ in front of your audience.
• You can find high quality prospects from your ‘list’ or audience.
• Your audience is a real asset that follows you forever, regardless of whether or not your MLM company goes out of business or not.

But building an email list is just one of many ways to build and communicate with your audience.

In the social Web 2.0 world, you can build a fan club (which is your ‘audience’) at many social marketing Web 2.0 locations.

Here are just some of them you may know about:

• Squidoo
• Hub Pages
• People can follow your blog posts with RSS

And these are just a few examples, which we’ve been teaching you inside Marketing Merge Professional.

“Renegade University“ get a free introduction to how to start using all of these synergistically together to build your audience bigger and faster.

Another fantastic way to build your audience is by using Twitter.

Twitter is amazingly simple. It basically works like this:

You give people your Twitter web link. For example, I give out http://www.Twitter.com/angelabrooks

I might send that to my email list, give it out in various blog posts like I just did, or share it at FaceBook, etc.

When people go to that address they can quickly choose to ‘follow’ me on Twitter.

If someone follows you on Twitter it means that each time you send out an update about something, they will see it.

This is similar to a feature at Facebook where you Update everyone about what you’re doing.

People who are already using Twitter can find you there. For example, if you choose to ‘follow’ other people, then their audience will see you. If they have seen your name or face before in the social web 2.0 world, they may click on it and decide to ‘follow you.’ Your audience grows.

If you post a good blog article, Squidoo lens, Hub Page or some other article or web post, you can post it there at Twitter very quickly. Everyone who is following you will see it. That means more traffic and exposure to that Blog post or article, which is what you want.

But even if you’re not promoting something like an article (or whatever it may be) you can still send a message update out on Twitter from time to time that keeps your name and face in front of your audience.

Since those people who follow you on Twitter see your update when they log into their Twitter account, it’s just more ‘branding’ exposure for you. I might let people know on Twitter that “I’m currently working from a nice coffee shop on my laptop off the Oregon Coast.” Those who follow me on Twitter see that and think, “Hmm… he lives a cool lifestyle,” and once more they see my face and name. While they peruse the Internet and they see an article with my picture and name again, they are more likely to read it.

The more people see you and hear from you–the more they are apt to buy from you or want to know more about what you offer.

Twitter is another great way to do that. And it’s probably one of the most simplest of ways… it’s very easy to sign up and use it.

So if you have a Twitter account, follow me by going to http://www.Twitter.com/angelabrooks and stay connected to my updates and news on Internet Network Marketing.

If you don’t have a Twitter account yet you can get one there as well.

Building On a Budget with Web 2.0 Social Marketing

If you’ve already been introduced to attraction marketing then you’re probably eager to get a move on.

If you’ve already started building your prospects list then this article will introduce you to the most powerful way to take it to the next level–as you build on a string-shoe budget.

In fact, Web 2.0 social marketing, when used properly and synergistically, will create a storm of traffic and produce more leads than necessary to produce significant upfront cash-flow, while you attract key people into your network marketing business.

So what IS Web 2.0 Social Marketing?

Web 2.0 describes an evolutionary step the Internet took several years ago as it moved from being just web sites and became something the average person could interact with.

For example, people can easily now upload photos, post comments and add text onto a web site with relative ease. This is what Web 2.0 is… and it openned up a huge opportunity for millions of people to become social on the Internet as they can now easily share ideas, content, products, services, and interact in many ways.

Thus the term: Social Marketing.

And here are the six categories of Social Marketing.

1. Content Sharing
2. Articles
3. Bookmarking
4. Social Sites
5. Blogs
6. Video

There are thousands of social sites that fall into any one of those six categories, and although it’s debatable on where exactly one particular site falls, we can explain and teach you these marketing methods more easily by helping you understand the different elements we find in the Social Marketing Web 2.0 environment.

Network Marketing: Are You Scared Of Your Phone?

Using the Phone In Your Internet Marketing Business!

Free Webinar, in your back office of your free account

Do You Know What To Do Once Prospects Come to You?When a prospect calls you on the phone do you know what to say to them? Do you know how to give value over the phone? Can you convert your calls into cash?

Regardless of whether you are generating product customers or business partner or are building a consulting business, this class is for you! Using the phone is a scary thing for many folks. This class will get you past those fears. It’s for anyone who uses the telephone to increase sales and build relationships. It’s about how to give value when you’re on the phone (to attract sales with significantly more ease).

You will see what an “attractive prospecting” phone call looks (and sounds)

like. This class will give you build your web of content with more confidence because you’ll understand where it’s all headed. After all, it’s always easier to get somewhere when you know where you’re going. Learning to speak with your prospects is vitally important to your business.

It doesn’t matter if it’s prospects calling you or your making contact with
those who join you thru your lead capture pages. This class will help you

turn your calls into profits. What we’ll be discussing with you is how to continue the ‘attraction’ principles on the phone.

Here’s why this is so important…

You want to know beforehand (before the prospect calls you or before
you make that call) exactly what value you’re going to offer to them.

If this sounds familiar to you… you’re absolutely right!

What you do on the phone is exactly the same as what you did to get
them there in the first place. You give value first, creating the trust you
need to make a sale & attract them into your business.

By knowing what value you are going to offer first, you’ll have the confidence you need to move forward. You’ll be able to guide the conversation into the direction you want it to go, all the while giving value to your prospect or customer.

Your prospect will want more of you, instead of less of you.

You’ll be appreciated because you’re giving something. You’re helping,
not just going through a script or list of questions to “get something” from
them.

You’ll feel better about what you do, or more importantly, the way you’re
doing it. So will your prospect.

Doing business this way leads to a lot more sales and a lot more fun!

You’ll make friends with your prospects and customers… and in the long
run, it leads to MORE success in any business you’re involved with. If you’re in the networking industry it leads to a lot more duplication for obvious reasons.

Regardless of whether you’re focused on attracting product or business
prospects, or to build a consulting business, this class is for you. It’s for
anyone who uses the telephone to increase sales and build more relationships.

There is no charge for this class it is listed in your free Renegade account.

Create an account at Renegade University if you have not
already done so. It’s Free to join and this class is just a fraction of the
internet marketing training you’ll enjoy there.

See you in class!

5.4 earthquake rocks Illinois; also felt in Kentucky

WEST SALEM, Ill. (AP) – A 5.4 magnitude earthquake that appeared to rival the strongest recorded in the region rocked people up to 450 miles away early Friday, surprising residents unaccustomed to such a powerful Midwest temblor. The quake just before 4:37 a.m. (CST) was centered six miles from West Salem, Ill., and 66 miles from Evansville, Ind. It was felt in such distant cities as Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and Des Moines, Iowa, 450 miles northwest of the epicenter, but there were no early reports of injuries or significant damage. Source page: http://www.wkyt.com/wymtnews/headlines/17906834.html I must say it sure got a lot of people’s attention. It is a scary feeling to have a 150 year old building as large as I standing in shake like it was a leaf. I had just popped open an ACT Energy Drink and took one sip when the shaking began. Once it stopped and we realized what just happened. I held up the can and said “man that was a powerful sip!” We all laughed because it seemed to happen at the same moment. There was no damage around this area. It gave the locals something to talk about over breakfast that is for sure. Thank the good lord it was just a reminder of who has his hand over us and how powerful he really is. Have a great Friday !

Caffeine constricts the blood vessels in your brain causing many people in get massive headaches. 3. Caffeine is a strong diuretic causing your body to become dehydrated and the #1 symptom of dehydration is fatigue. 4. Some people experience tremors after drinking caffeine. That’s thought to be due to over-activation of the central nervous system. 5. One recent report from the US revealed that women who drink in excess of one cup of coffee every day are only half as likely to be able to get pregnant as those who drink no coffee at all. The odds are considerably worse if women drink more than two cups a day. Then they are nearly 5 times less likely to be able to get pregnant as women who drink no coffee at all. 6. Caffeine can cause tension or stiffness in your neck, shoulders, jaw, hands, legs or stomach. 7. Caffeine can cause mood swings or periods of depression during the day. 8.

The SHOCKING Truth About “Healthy” Foods in America Today!

Consumers Site Nutrition as Greatest Health Concern WASHINGTON, April 11 /PRNewswire/ – Four in five consumers are more concerned about health, nutrition, and fitness than they were a year ago, but nutrition has beat out fitness as consumers’ top priority, according to a new survey of approximately 3,000 consumers by Phil Lempert, nationally renowned food industry expert and trend spotter. “Shoppers care more than ever about the kinds of foods they buy and a growing number of consumers especially want to know where their foods came from and how they were raised or grown,” said Lempert, who reports on consumer trends, food safety, and new products for NBC’s Today Show. The survey, which evaluated consumers’ attitudes toward selecting foods, stated 95 percent of consumers are concerned about nutrition. As a result, Lempert suggests there is a growing trend toward fresh, minimally processed foods, which points toward greater interest in fruits and vegetables. “Fresh fruits and vegetables offer the good nutrient sources consumers are looking for,” Lempert said. “However, we have also seen a few reports recently that produce doesn’t have the same level of nutrition that it did 40 or 50 years ago. The consumers surveyed easily recognized soil nutrients as the leading way to improve the nutrient content of foods.” According to the survey 84 percent of consumers recognize that the nutrient content of produce can vary based on production practices. Additionally, 70 percent noted soil nutrients as their preferred method for improving nutrient content. Growing plants draw their nutrition from the soil. To ensure the healthiest, most nutrient dense produce, it is important that soils are replenished with key nutrients, especially nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These are naturally occurring elements that come from either organic or commercial sources. Plants need to be “fed” just like people. Healthy soil produces healthy, nutritious fruits and vegetables. Interestingly, 55 percent of consumers said organic foodsenhanced nutrient profiles because it’s easier to balance soil nutrition in conventional crops. contained the best nutrient levels. However, conventional fruits and vegetables actually offer the same and sometimes Lempert said Americans are hungry for health and food information and predicts our food obsession will continue to grow. In addition to nutrition and health, Lempert suggests convenience, technology and value will be key consumer drivers in 2007.

The Parable of the Sower

As part of this message, I thought I would review some of the key thoughts I share in most of my training workshops. I truly believe there is a way to avoid the doubt and discouragement that plague so many in our industry. Once we understand how things work, then we can adjust our thinking to avoid discouragement. No greater message can be given to us than that contained in the Biblical Parable of the Sower. It gives us perspective,and it gives us hope. It simply says a sower went forth to sow. We can assume that the seeds he had to sow were excellent, just as our message of our opportunity is. And, I feel it is safe to assume that the sower was sincere, ambitious a good person, with real intent and belief. An interesting thing happens to the sower the minute he begins to sow his seeds. He is met with rejection. Some of his seeds “fall by the wayside” and the birds come and devour them. Have you ever had that happen to you? Have any of your efforts ever fallen by the wayside? It gets even worse. Some of the seeds fall on stony ground, where there are just a few inches of soil. They immediately take root and start to grow, but because the soil is thin, they cannot take root, and when the sun comes out, the plants wither and die. Now the sower could stop there and begin to complain. He could embrace discouragement. Can’t you just hear him? “I was telling Bill about my opportunity and his friend flew in and warned him that this was just another one of those get rich quick schemes.” Or, “I enrolled Susan and she was doing just fine for several months, then when she tried to tell others and they didn’t immediately listen, the ‘heat’ came on, and she just dropped out…withered away.” However, the sower just keeps on sowing. Why? Because he understands that this is not of his making. It is the way things are. Birds come, soil is thin, the sun comes out, and people leave. And some people ask “Why?” Don’t go in that door. Don’t sign up for that course. It is not of your making. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. SOME PEOPLE DON’T JOIN, AND SOME PEOPLE DON’T STAY.~ Let me repeat that again. ~ SOME PEOPLE DON’T JOIN, AND SOME PEOPLE DON’T STAY. THAT’S THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE!!!! So the sower keeps on sowing. Keeps on talking. Keeps on telling people about his/her opportunity. More rejection. Some of the seeds fall among thorns and they are choked. Got any thorns in your life? Do they have names? What does the sower do? He keeps on sowing. Why? Because that is not of his making. That’s the way it is supposed to be. He knows something good is coming. He just needs to keep sowing. Then, something wonderful happens. The scripture says that some fall on “good ground.” They began to grow, to duplicate, and to spread. Furthermore, they begin to bring forth fruit. Some produce 30%. That’s incredible! Some produce 60%! Amazing. And some some even produce 100%! They even out produce the sower himself. MASSIVE DUPLICATION! But let me tell you something the sower doesn’t do. He doesn’t spend all his time working with the 30% to make them 100%. People will contribute in varying degrees…and that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Don’t spend your time trying to make 30 percenters into 100 percenters. It simply won’t work most of the time. Instead, keep sowing. Always sowing. And remember, according to the greatest book ever written… SOME WON’T JOIN SOME WON’T STAY THERE IS ALWAYS GOOD GROUND AHEAD AND EVERYONE WON’T PRODUCE THE SAME Now that we know that all we have to do is keep looking for the good ground, and quit blaming ourselves for those who go by the wayside.   Passed on by Angela Brooks: is a 7-year network marketing professional who understands that not all people will step up to the plate even when they say they want to be successful.

Energy Drinks a Legal Drug? What Happens When You Take More Than One

In a simple browse on Google one can find reports on energy drinks that will make your head spin. The site promoting Meth Coffee was completely startling to this mother and nurse. Have we become so consumed with profit that we are now selling drugs legally over the counter under the guise of energy?

The teens of the 80’s showed up to class strung out on Mescaline. When that wasn’t high or cool enough coke became more popular but the cost was not available to everyone. Today young children and teenagers are getting their drugs over the counter and their parents are even looking for ways to save money by buying their fix in bulk.

Are energy drinks a new drug that the FTC hasn’t had the courage to hit because it’s a billion dollar habit? As an nurse and knowing the profit that exists in mainstream medicine it makes my hair stand on end to even think of one rational reason why energy drinks have gotten as lethal as they have.

The problems with “energy drinks” arise when too many are consumed or when they are mixed with alcohol. Sadly they often times taste so good and go down so easy that the consumer doesn’t even realize what they’ve done before it’s too late when consuming in excess. Designed to give a quick fix many websites are showing teens raving about how they can get their over the counter Viagra and Meth at the local grocery store.

What is a parent to do? Obviously this generation of teens won’t settle for anything less than what they are used to. Energy drinks, with growth of 49.1 per cent, were the sixth largest category, followed by ready-to-drink coffee, which grew by 10.4 per cent. Just one alternative might be to remove some of the sugar and tone down the rush effect, giving natural energy the way nature designed.

ACT Energy Drink come, in powder or can and ask your kids to be the tester. Tell them you are doing some research on energy drinks and want their experienced opinion. You might solve a problem faster than you thought possible.

Angela Brooks wants to share a quick note that Ann Sieg released another fantastic report–perhaps the most important for many people to help them BELIEVE and see that they CAN be successful using online attraction marketing strategies. Pick up a copy of the report

The Energy Crisis in Children of the United States

Years ago the common crisis in most classrooms and homes was a so-called challenge with children who couldn’t sit still, stop talking or slow down. Sadly many were fed medication when all these active normal children needed was some fresh air and attention. We live in a society of surviving parents and struggling kids.

Todays common problem however has taken a new turn and a direction that is more than just puzzling. When a 10 year old has to have a caffeinated drink much less an energy drink just to think in the morning something has gone amiss. Teachers are stating that kids are drinking not just one but two or three drinks at a time and are beyond out of control in the classroom, they are violent, irrational and at a level that is totally unsafe.

Energy drinks met the demand of the generation that outgrew Coke and Pepsi, Mountain Dew was no longer strong enough and Coffee wasn’t cool. In came caffeine, sugar, vitamins, herbs and more to give you the buzz you craved. Sounds innocent, doesn’t it? Until the consumption of energy drinks skyrocketed and the common age of its consumers were between 12-19. With the already existing blood pressure, diabetes and health problems plaguing our kids what can we do? http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/diet/2001-12-20-energy-drinks.htm

Energy drinks must taste good or a switch might never take place. If there’s no jolt of energy no one wants them, so what can you do? Try an energy drink that is both healthy, in demand and safe. Recent tests showed students asking for 2 at a time when a recent teacher brought samples of ACT Energy drinks to the classroom.

Give your kids an energy drink they can proud of and you can rest safe knowing they are consuming! Try ACT Energy drinks at no cost or risk today. www.angelabrook.net
