 They’re all on the first page of video search results on Google when you search for “business leadership training.”
How? you ask…
Through the power of video marketing, but even more specifically — Traffic Geyser.
So what is Traffic Geyser and why am I telling you about this?
Traffic Geyser is simply a tool that will allow you to upload one video file and turn it into a hundred pieces of content — all with backlinks to your blog post or capture page, basically wherever you choose to send people.
But get this, all you have to do is put in the link you want to promote and send people to (capture page, blog post, etc.), a description of your video, text for article sites, text for any blogs you have, and some more pertinent info of this nature — and Traffic Geyser submits all this info to 100 websites, give or take a few.
Trust me, it saves a LOT of time.
And, as I’m sure you realize, time is the most precious gift we have — time for our families, time for ourselves, time to focus on the important things in life.
Because this kind of mindless work is only important inasmuch as how much free, organic TRAFFIC it can get you to your website, capture page, or blog. Continue reading What do Jim Rohn, Jonathan Budd, and Monique Alvarez have in common?

 I’m not sure if I’m unleashing the wolves on some innocent little lambs by revealing this to Network Marketers or not…
But I just want to remind you that “With great power comes great responsibility.”
(Spider-Man’s Uncle Ben told him this.)
Why am I making such a big deal?
Because I am going to tell you how to mass invite people on Facebook.
This may not seem like quite a big deal if you only have 30 friends, but once you get into the thousands like Monique and I have, it becomes quite a pain to select all your friends to invite them to (fill in the blank)…
- Become a fan of your page
- Listen to a phone call
- Watch a webinar
- Go to a Meetup
- Whatever!
Monique has gotten hundreds more listeners to her training calls since we started doing this.
We’ve also made thousands more people aware of our fan page and went from 419 fans to 620 fans in the span of 1 week.
Ready to see how to do this yet?
Well, I’ll show you. Just promise me not to abuse it ;) Continue reading How To Mass Invite On Facebook

 What do you want?
You must be specific in want you want, because your focus will only span so far.
If only our memories were perfect, and our vision was omniwide…
Back to the real world people!
If you have a vision, write it down! Don’t count on your steel trap to record everything!
Now, what price are you willing to pay?
Everything comes with a cost. I’ve realized that the only way one achieves success is through sacrifice and there is no limit to how long that sacrifice may last.
Some people don’t understand this level of sacrifice.
Do you think freedom and human rights are free? No, it is paid for.
Sometimes with sweat, sometimes with blood, and sometimes with casualties.
Think about it.
Many men and women have sacrificed time, money — even their lives, to fight for the rights of others.
They fought for those who couldn’t fight for themselves. That is my definition of courage. These people stood up against the bullies of the world.
…Now, let’s take a moment of silence for the marginalized and oppressed of the world…
[Another moment of silence for the half a million affected and the tens of thousands laying underneath rubble in Haiti.]
You maybe asking yourself at this point, “Byron, what does this have to do with marketing?”
I’m trying to show you what PRICE really means.
Back to business:
Don’t be naïve to think that pricing is the only factor in how successful a business will be. Continue reading Charles Barkley, Price and Positioning

 The truth is very few people will TELL you what they believe about money, but they always SHOW you.
Most people will tell you that Money isn’t that important to them. Most will tell you they don’t want lots of it.
Why Not?
They don’t want to be accused of being “money lovers.” We all know “the love of money is the root of all evil”. And we don’t want to be included in that group.
We don’t want to be too successful because then we have to be responsible for managing all our money.
I’m here to tell you Money is important!
I’ve been to the poorest places on the PLANET and poverty is NOT pretty. Poverty is not just not just a lack of money, it is the worst and strongest bondage I’ve ever seen. Continue reading What Do You REALLY Believe About Money?

 Landscape Designer?! What on Earth does that have to do with MLM prospecting?
Truthfully, very little, unless you’re like me and you learn from ALL your experiences and apply them to what you’re doing today…
I bring this up because I ran into someone I used to work with at a Landscape Design/Build Firm here in Tucson last night at a networking event.
Her name is Diana Turner and she is an AMAZING designer who is passionate about what she does and creates some very unique and creative landscapes for her clients.
Diana branched out on her own a few months before I quit and you can find out a little more about her at her website: http://www.turner-design.com/
Anyway, I learned a lot during my time there — probably enough to write multiple posts.
But today, I’m going to talk about the lesson I learned from Diana Turner about talking on the phone with prospects.
You see, when I started at Santa Rita Landscaping, I was new to the entire industry.
Sure, I had a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Arizona…
Sure, I had grown up working with my Dad in the construction industry…
But I had no idea how to be a Landscape Designer!
- I didn’t know how to use CAD to draw plans.
- I didn’t know the difference between a cactus and a succulent.
- I didn’t know the standard dimensions of a BBQ enclosure.
- I didn’t know the code for installing a gas line.
- I didn’t know a poly-line from an emitter.
You get the point — there was a lot I didn’t know!
(Come to think of it, I must have done an amazing sales job to get past the head of HR and the Design/Build Manager…) Continue reading 4 Things I Learned About Talking to Prospects from My Time As A Landscape Designer

 What Is Respect Anyway?
Well, you could go look it up in the Dictionary…
(Don’t bother, I already did ;)
-
re·spect (r-spkt)
tr.v. re·spect·ed, re·spect·ing, re·spects
-
- To feel or show deferential regard for; esteem.
- To avoid violation of or interference with: respect the speed limit.
- To relate or refer to; concern.
n.
- A feeling of appreciative, often deferential regard; esteem. See Synonyms at regard.
- The state of being regarded with honor or esteem.
- Willingness to show consideration or appreciation.
- respects Polite expressions of consideration or deference: pay one’s respects.
- A particular aspect, feature, or detail: In many respects this is an important decision.
I like looking up definitions online because it’s good to see just what a word means.
It’s easy to loose the essence of a word, especially when it’s overused.
“So, Monique, what’s this all about?,” you ask.
Well, a comment from a friend the other day made me think about Respect and how it relates to the business world.
Better yet, YOUR business and YOUR world! Continue reading R-E-S-P-E-C-T (Find out what it means to me!)

 I have a little secret to confess to you today…
And no, I have never taken a date out in a garbage truck!
Had you thinking, though, didn’t I?
My secret is that Monique and I sometimes watch T.V. on our lunch break.
We work from home, so why not, right?
Even worse than that, we’ll sometimes watch this show called The Millionaire Matchmaker.
In the show, this woman named Patti Stanger helps millionaires find suitable companions and gives them dating advice to not screw it up.
Shakespeare, it is not.
Now pick your jaws up from the floor and read the rest of what I’m going to say, because it will help you convert more of the visitors to your websites and capture pages into leads. Continue reading Would you show up for a date in a Garbage Truck?
