Once Again, The Topic Of Teamwork
Back to the topic of teambuilds!
Looking back over my earlier posts, at least 2 of
the teams I was working with are no more - 4u2earn
has closed its doors - they were forced to move
their server and didn't get a good enough response
from members to reactivate their accounts... end of
story.
The other, the BEST team, is still floundering in
the water - the main leaders have deserted the team,
but there are still some members, myself included,
who would like to resurrect this team - great concept,
large member base... who knows, it could still come
back to life.
Here are some of my general ramblings on teamwork,
and whether, in a network marketing community, it
is worth pursuing.
One of the big problems for network marketers is
recruiting people to fill a downline. Not many of
us are natural leaders capable of inspiring huge
numbers of people to join us in every business
opportunity we decide to promote. And most of us
shy away from harrassing our families and friends
until the point that they join our business just
to get us out of their houses (and cross us off
their birthday card list before leaving our 'best
business ever' before we've made any money out of
them!)
So what is the answer to this perennial problem?
One solution is to work with a team, where all
members join under one link so that there is even
distribution of members across the whole team.
But this also has its problems because some team
members will always take the easy way out and not
promote, in the belief that the team will do all
the work and they will reap the rewards. From my
experience though this is what a lot of so-called
marketers will do anyway - sign up and rely on
spillover from their upline to get them the sign-
ups they need. These people obviously don't take
their business seriously and are only along for
the ride, and will probably never make any real
money in business because they are not prepared
to work for it. Anyone who tells you it is
possible to make a lot of money without putting
in any effort is not telling the whole story!
Do I believe in working with teams then? Yes,
definitely, but be careful who you work with
(this is true in everything though!)
As you will know from earlier posts I work with
a team to build F5M-MC, and I also work with a
team called Wealth4Everyone, which is a community
of online marketers working to build residual
income in a number of programs. If you are
interested, you can join our community for free,
take a look around, and see if you like what we
are doing. There is no requirement to get in-
volved in all the programs, you can just sign
up for one or two of the cyclers to start with
(all low-cost one-off fees) and see if you like
the way we work.

Don't Pay Over The Odds For Your Autoresponder
Anyone marketing anything online, be it network marketing products, affiliate products, or a membership site, can't survive without an autoresponder - it should be one of the first things you get set up when you start an online business.
I tried a few different ones at the beginning, including a free script that nearly got my website taken offline because it was faulty and spammed thousands of people (BIG mistake!) I also tried a few that cost less than the industry standard (aweber) but they were just so complicated that I gave up with them after a while.
Then I had the good fortune to discover european safelist, when they were just starting out. As well as being a super responsive safelist (with, as the title suggests, a large European client base) they offer an autoresponder with their upgrades, which start at just $3/month for the silver, although I recommend at least going pro for $7 so you get the monthly mlm leads and free solo ad.
This has proved to be an excellent source of advertising for me - the text and banner ads get a high click through rate, as do the safelist emails. Membership has grown to over 5000 in a relatively short time, and continues to grow, thanks in large part to the good support offered by the site.
I won't try and kid you that the autoresponder is particularly easy to set up - like all online systems it takes a bit of getting used to (or is that just my age showing??!) After using it for several years though I now find it really easy, and there's a user guide (written by yours truly!) to help you get started. I highly recommend this one!

Instant Blog Subscribers - Just Launched
Instant Blog Subscribers launched this week to much fanfare,
and claims that people have already made money from using it.
I only signed up yesterday, so am yet to see the results, but
the claims of it being easy to use and set up are not exagger-
ated. As soon as you set up your blog (very simple to do) an
entry is automatically posted on your behalf (proclaiming how
wonderful IBS is!) so at least your blog isn't left blank
while you sort yourself out and write your first genuine post.
In addition there is a downline builder, and you can add your
own program to this. And if you upgrade you get loads of bonus
advertising, but free is good too.
So far so good - I'll keep you posted on how things work out
with this!

Two Team Builds That Are Working For Me
What's working for me? These are!
RoadToAMillion, an advertising site launched by Mike Peever a few months ago, where members get all the usual offerings of an advertising exchange as well as the option to join a program for a one off fee and get monthly residual income from it!
Members of RTAM can upgrade to join the team build in CookBookDough, where instead of having to pay a monthly fee to get monthly residuals, a one-off fee (starting at just $15) buys you lifetime membership, and brings in residual income (some good recipes too).
The other one is OneTeamMatrix,- join this site and for just $2 per month you will get a co-op ad (this WILL bring you referrals!), as well as other advertising bonuses. The company promises to put paid members under you, and I've already got 3 referrals without doing much advertising myself. For such a small investment, this one is definitely worth joining. After all, what have you got to lose? Pay $12 now, which gives you 6 months membership, and if you're not making money when it comes to renewal time, you can always cancel! The way things are going though, I know I won't be cancelling my order.

Follow Your Dream
Before you can achieve success in anything - sport, a job,
and especially a business, you have to have a dream. And
then you need to keep that dream fixed clearly in your mind.
I have always loved travelling, and have been lucky enough
to do a fair bit in my life so far, but one key aspect of
my big dream involves travelling - I love the excitement,
the different food, meeting a wide cross section of people
and finding out about their cultures. So I felt a little
shiver of excitement this evening when I saw the email from
Diamond Holidays inviting me to their opening ceremony in
Hong Kong at the end of May. Now, unfortunately due to other
commitments I can't go to this, but it suddenly brought it
all home to me, that I am part of an excellent team which is
involved with an excellent company. And in future years I
WILL be able to go to company events in exciting places all
around the world, because our team has already started making
dreams reality.
Probably the most important aspect about all this is the
integrity of the team, and the importance of working together
to achieve mutual benefit for all. This is how we work, and
we strive to benefit all team members. In my view there is no
other viable way for a team to function.

Will This Really Be The Biggest Online Team Ever?
Last time I wrote about a new team build I had
joined, which some of its promotional material
claims will be the biggest online team ever.
Quite a claim. But as it is still early days we
will have to wait and see whether it lives up
to these claims, as only time will tell.
As they have now changed the rules, the team is
looking a whole lot smaller than it was. Before,
people could join for free, and choose to upgrade
before the next compression, which was held when
certain targets were reached - 5000 members,
then every thousand after that. But having got
to the second target of 6000, they have decided
to change the rules, and no longer allow any free
members.
I don't have any objection to this, as I feel it
can only benefit the team long term - those who
are willing to pay for a program are also likely
to actively promote it, which long term can only
be a benefit to us all. I'm sure there will be
those who disagree, and will want to complain
about this, but after all this is supposed to
be about earning money, not sponging money
off other marketers!
So let's hope 4u2earn goes from strength to
strength & earns us all a lot of money!
