......$1,000, $3,000 and $5,000 Commissions Sold for You?

“Success is a science, if you have the conditions, you get the result.” -Oscar Wilde

Ye' Olde Oscar had it sooooooooo right...

Take your local Weatherman for example.
He can fairly accurately tell you what the weather will be like for the next 7 days or so.

He can even inform you if you're in danger! Whether that be impending doom from Tornado's, Hurricanes, Flooding, Earthquakes or whatever other natural disaster it may be.

How does he know all of this?

Is he a psychic?

Some weatherman 'Guru'?

No, not at all.
Because if you have all of the *conditions*, you get the results

......$1,000, $3,000 and $5,000 commissions sold for you?

Science helps him see patterns in the weather and so forth to be able to forecast what will result.
Getting success online is very similar too...
It's not about luck, being in the right place at the right time, or some secret KEY others are using that's unbeknownst to you.

http://goo.gl/HSdcvz

It's science. It's numbers. It's your economics.

Traffic, as I hope you know, is the Lifeblood of this business.

How much money can you afford to spend on traffic to get a $7.00 sale?
$7.00?
Well yea, if you just want to break even!

Can you buy a lot of online traffic with $7.00, or even $100 for that matter?

NOPE.

And then to take this further...

How many sales even at a 100% profit at $7.00 would it take you to make a good income?

You'd have to make 50 sales just to make $350.00. And once you factor in traffic, you've made nothing.

Nada.

Now you can imagine how this whole dynamic changes when you've got the ability to earn $1,000 to $9,000 online commissions right?

Once again, it's not luck, it's science and a numbers
game.

And you've got to have the numbers and economics of this business working in your favor from the very start.

$7.00 is fine for a front-end lead generation sale, but you'd best have some major Top Tier opportunities built into your back-end.

That's exactly what you're enabled to do with the NEW MTTB System:
http://goo.gl/HSdcvz

And the good news is these Top Tier Commissions of $1,000, $3,000, and $5,000 and sold FOR YOU!

If you don't work all this out, you're doomed. And if you *somehow* make a little profit, realize you're leaving a lot of money on the table, and a lot of people looking for help are being left unserved.

Here's to engineering "The perfect money storm".

Mobile Marketing Strategies

With the recent Google Hummingbird algorithm update mobile traffic access and strategies have been in the forefront of advanced business planning. How is mobile marketing different from regular SEO and traffic generation methods? Here's a look at the new mobile-friendly content marketing.

In the past the main approach was to make some content and format for the big computer screen and then scale it down somehow for the mobile screen. However, more than half the searches are now done from mobile devices, so the new direction in content is to think mobile first.

Just breaking paragraphs into smaller sentence numbers is only the beginning. Now it is more likely to see single sentences instead of paragraphs (my high school English teacher would not be pleased). There is more than one image and spread out through the article or post, usually Thumbnail size. As you can see the changes are in both content and format. Understandably the post must be shorter. No one except Kindle book readers scroll through long passages these days. The challenge is to shorten the length but to include as much quality content - sort of like writing a clear, understandable poem.

Here are some more observations by Jason DeMers, CEO of AudienceBloom in a recent article published on LinkedIn. He points out that the exception to the short content rule might be a post that is so gripping and interesting that the reader can't put it down throughout the whole ride on the train to work (would it be that everyone has the luxury of train rides instead of boring car commutes). He also points out that it's important to focus on catchy headlines (always important, no matter what the audience) and the first few sentences as well as the summary paragraph if it exists.

Understand your audience’s mobile habits 

It’s amazing how many conversations about mobile strategies and content marketing in general happen in the absence of audience data. Can you answer the following questions about your customers and prospects?

• What percentage of your audience accesses your site on mobile devices?
• Are they using tablets or smartphones?
• What activities are they doing on your site, independently and as compared with your overall traffic?
• What content are they accessing – by topic and by format?
• How much time do they spend on your site? An audience with an average of 10 minutes is different than an audience with an average of 90 seconds. It’s all about attention span.
• Do they consume visual content?
• What other sites, social media platforms, and activities are they doing on mobile?

The greater the depth in terms of your understanding of your audience’s mobile habits, the more compelling your content will be. But specifically, understanding the makeup of their mobile universe will help you create content that feels native – rather than retroactively shoehorned to fit in.

You Better be Selling This in Your Business Online

Doing business online (or offline for that matter) without doing "consistent" advertising and marketing is like winking at a girl in the dark...

...You know what you're doing, but nobody else does.

Yes, you can have the greatest product in the WORLD but if enough people aren't seeing it, then you're out of business.

You Better be Selling This in Your Business Online

And a simple fact of economics is this:
The cheaper your product, the more people will need to see it and buy it.
The more expensive the product, the less people you'll have to get to buy.

Obvious but hey, why are so many people just trying to sell cheap products?

Now, thinking back...
I'd practically kill to get my hands on some food I've had at a few different joints in the past.
...I mean amazing food!
But I can't, because they went out of business. Not because they weren't great (they were), but because "not enough people" knew how awesome they were.

http://goo.gl/HSdcvz

Now online this is super important to realize. There are millions and millions of websites begging for eyeballs.
And no telling how many new products and blogs are launched each day.
You've GOT to get seen! And you do that by marketing and advertising daily, following up and building the relationship daily, and yes, SELLING daily.

You're in business here, no doubt about it. And in business, that's what you do. You sell.
Now what's cool is in My Top Tier Business you're getting some of the top traffic strategies to getting sales on the internet.

This is what's working NOW. Not theory. Real testing and true traffic and advertising methods.
But we ONLY give these tactics away to you after you've learned the true economics of online business and we show you how to get to 6 figures this year and beyond.
That's what's possible when you know how to get traffic and have a converting funnel (we give you that too).

Smart Marketing

“The Internet of Things” is a buzzword that came into use in late 2012 and has surged in popularity. The term refers to the process by which everyday appliances become “smart” with the addition of computer components, sensors, and wireless modems that connect them to the Internet. 

Savvy companies large and small are predicting that this change will result in a bold new age of marketing.

These firms envision a world in which ads are ubiquitous and highly targeted. 

Some credit futurist R. Buckminster Fuller with predicting this trend, with his concept of ephemeralization. Ephemeralization refers to the tendency of society to innovate to the point at which they’re able to achieve more than previous generations did with a fraction of the work required.The advent of wireless Internet and any number of sensors will enable engineers to create everything from smart clothes to smart toasters.

Smart Marketing Everyone uses a refrigerator—but in the future, some of us will see ads for weight loss products when we open the refrigerator door. These individuals will have invariably opted into a list or searched for such products on one of the major search engines. While they will be the object of scorn for some, these ads will nevertheless prove highly effective.

The source of their effectiveness lies in the fact that they evoke an emotional reaction. Search engine giant Google has made it clear to the Securities and Exchange Commission that they intend to implement this type of advertising as soon as possible. In an open letter to the organization, Google said, “We expect the definition of “mobile” to continue to evolve as more and more ‘smart’ devices gain traction in the market.” Google intends to display these ads in car dashboards, thermostats, glasses, and watches, among other devices. The key to profiting from these ads will lie in the marketer’s ability to write copy that is appropriate for the scenario. Understanding why the ad is appearing where it is—and under what circumstances—will be crucial. As always, poorly targeted ads will aggravate consumers and will result in higher CPC rates.

Adding Value to Products with an App Savvy marketers in the next 10 years will focus on creating apps that allow consumers to directly control their smart devices. These apps will expose consumers to the app creator’s brand while making the consumers’ lives easier. This is a win-win scenario that can easily be monetized with the freemium model. In this model, an app is created that provides basic features for free, yet its most desirable features are hidden behind a paygate. Freemium is a proven effective pricing model in the app space, and going forward, consumers will be willing to pay a premium if they can do more with their smart devices.

Lindsay Corporation, a major player in the agriculture industry, has a headstart on their competitors. Their app, which allows users to control their sprinkler systems in real time from any smartphone, frees their users from the chore of having to adjust their systems manually from the farm itself. This translates into saved time or money, or both. Other potential apps that operate under the same principle include an app that monitors parking spaces in urban settings, apps that give early warning of earthquakes and building instabilities, and apps that monitor noise levels in public establishments. The opportunities, however, are likely limitless. Note that all of these apps will require access to specialized sensors and that these sensors will have to be maintained. This will likely include an additional layer of cost, so it’s essential that your monetization scheme take this into account.

Smart Marketing Using Social Media Anthony Joiner has another approach to Smart Marketing that involves Instagram and social media. His 43-page Kindle book lets you know that keeping up with social media is sound marketing these days. Here's his words.

What happens when a free app for photo sharing reaches the number one status within Apple’s App Store in just twenty-four hours of its initial launch? What happens when, after three months of the same launch, the app accomplishes one million downloads; the fastest ever for an app.

I’ll tell you exactly what happens, the birth of another social media juggernaut. I repeat – juggernaut: A giant that is changing the way we interact with each other and with businesses. Today, almost four years later, there are, brace yourself, fifty-five million photos being uploaded on a daily basis. With numbers and stats like this you should pay attention because those numbers say it loud and clear.

Yes, Instagram means something to your brand. If it doesn’t, it should.But, what does it mean, exactly? There are several giant social media platforms out there that obviously mean something to your business: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and let’s not forget the big business hub LinkedIn.

But, how exactly does Instagram mean anything to your business? Maybe you are a physical fitness trainer, a hotel owner, a beauty salon owner, an artist or restaurant owner.What can Instagram do for you and why should you use it?

Remember the old saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words?” There you have it.

The Power of Visual Marketing

Visual marketing is powerful because vivid images carry the potential to impart emotional impact. Marketing that connects on an emotional level is exceptionally effective. In fact, these days, if you aren’t telling the story of your business in images on Pinterest and Instagram, you’re doing something wrong. These sites allow you the rare opportunity to take your customers behind the scenes. They give your brand an identity and make your company appear trustworthy.

Many brands have seen remarkable returns from simply asking their customers to take pictures of themselves engaging in their product or service. These images provide social proof that your service is valuable, and most customers are happy to engage in these contests just for the chance to win an inexpensive prize. Visual marketing is so powerful that companies and universities are pouring large sums of money into programs that assess how people respond after viewing promotional material. In fact, corporations have created systems that track eye movements in retail environments in an effort to assess how effectively these images spur customers to take action.

Visual Marketing Tips It’s a good idea to place your logo on most of the images you create and share on social networks. You can do this quickly with commercial software like Photoshop, or free alternatives like GIMP. Branding your images builds trust with viewers—provided that you’re consistently offering them high-quality content—and it increases brand awareness at the same time. These days, every image on your site should contain a call to action.

Pinterest allows you to add a button to your images. With this button, your visitors can share the image directly to the network, thus increasing your exposure. If one person finds your content share-worthy, there is a good chance that someone else will as well. One practice that you should adopt if you haven’t yet is to embed social media content within your posts. Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ all allow you to do this.

These additions can turn your posts into social hubs, and if you already have decent traffic, you’ll find your content shared more often than ever before. You can also use SlideShare or a similar service to create slideshows. Well-designed slideshows can keep your visitors on your domain longer, and you can also use them to direct visitors to other articles on your site. Slideshows are also extremely sharable. Infographics and videos serve the same function. Additionally, it pays to customize your Pinterest layouts. Pinterest traffic is often well targeted, so you want to give your prospect every reason to click. A good-looking template will get you more clicks, save you time and give your profile a more uniform appearance.

More Tips Here's some more tips from Milly at Ronin Marketing in Kent, UK. She suggests to be consistent so your readers can come to expect what they will read, put some emotion into your posts and have a call to action (what you want people to do) at the end.

#4 strike an emotional cord

Images create a more emotional response in the viewer, which makes them more engaging. Play on this. Ask yourself how you can spark an emotional reaction, be it intrigue, humour, anger, affection, through visuals.

This doesn’t mean posting silly photos of animals in miniature clothes, (although I’m not necessarily saying this doesn’t work!), but being creative with the visual posts whilst in keeping them with your brand and personality. For example, sharing a recipe if you’re a kitchen retailer, including a photo of employee of the month if you’re an IT specialist, using an image of a new office or fit out if you’re an interior designer, or creating a trend focus graphic if you’re a retailer – all gives your business a bit more personality and makes for engaging content.

Emerging Mobile Phone Technology

Mobile phones have become indispensable and now play a big part in everyone's lives. With the current technology that has made people and nations closer, mobile and handheld devices can truly be considered great inventions and innovations. Gone are the days when one had to go home first before he could use the telephone or go to a public phone booth to place an all-important call to a loved one or business contact. With the presence of mobile phones, everyone has now gone wireless. Communication has, indeed, turned very easy for all.

Mobile phone, as the name suggests, provides mobility. It is portable a communication device. It is made possible by satellites that transmit signals for the phone to send and receive. It is very convenient as one can use it anywhere irregardless of time and region.

People everywhere have seen the evolution of communication technology,from a phone that used wires to one that no longer requires any,from the analog to the wireless. In some places, wireless phones were provided with signals by the network company. In other places, a simulated card in inserted in the phone to grab and receive signals and send as well. These phones used the concept of signal transmission and radio wave theories that enabled a two-way communication with real time and provided clearer conversation.

From the analog mobile phones that only allowed calling and voice conversation evolved the mobile phones that have text messaging features. A person may send a text message that will be received by another party. This message is sent through a signal passing to a gateway which transmits it to the receiving party.

At the turn of the 21st century, mobile phones became more of a trend and companies started to make them appear more sophisticated. Mobile phones started with big sizes which transformed to smaller ones and then became bigger again. They have developed much like computers. Mobile phones now have been created with different functions and usage which are beyond plain communication usage.

Mobile phones also serve as mp3 players and/or audio, video file storage units where users may save audio files and listen to music. Mobile phones now are also equipped with cameras that come in different pixels allowing people to take pictures anywhere and anytime. Almost all mobile phones today are designed with games, calculator, organizer, alarm clock, dictionary and many more. Some updated mobile phones may now take video clips and still photographs which may be transferred to a computer for different purposes. Many mobile phones are also designed with touch screen features where a person doesn't need to touch the keypad anymore. The screen of the phone is designed to recognize commands as the finger tip touches the screen.

Moreover, mobile phones are now used as computers. With the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), surfing the internet is now made possible. GPRS is used to transmit IP packets which enable users to use the internet wherever they go. People also use their mobile phones in banking transactions where they can send and receive money through phone.

Several high technology features are continuously being researched and applied to mobile phones. Not long ago the 3G system was developed. It enabled users of the same networks to call each other using real time cameras. Through this system, one could actually see the person he was calling while talking to him. Many companies are now researching a higher system which is the fourth generation or 4G system. Researchers project the new system as faster with a connection speed reaching 100 Mb per second. This is seen to provide a better quality of call.

Mobile phones are not only for personal use like it was in the past. With mobile phones, reporters and journalists may now take and film news reports. Security systems and surveillance are also possible.

It is seen in the near future that mobile phones are most likely to replace laptops. With the new mobile phones coming out on the market, viewing and working on documents only found on computers is now possible. They are likely to replace entertainment devices as well with all the entertainment features new mobile phones have.

Mobile phones do not only play a big part in technology. Mobile phones also show fashion and style. Thus, to make these phones more appealing and attractive, manufacturers produce these phones in different colors, size, shape, and style.

Mobile phones are indeed one of the greatest contributions of technology. They have gone far beyond what anyone could imagine ten years ago. Now, with the emergence of mobile technology, everyone just can't live without one.

Dangers of Texting While Driving

We already know about the dangers of talking on cell phones while driving, and now there are many locations with heavy fines for doing this. At least the danger is strongest when holding the phone while driving. This is one reason to purchase the StarShine Hands Free Cell Phone Holder for your car. Now there is a further danger with texting, much worse than talking because the person is more distracted and more apt to cause an accident. Here's a recent survey taken by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada regarding the incidence of texting and driving among licensed Ontario students in grades 10 - 12, approximately 108,000 teens surveyed.

Dangers of Texting While Driving

The 2013 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey found that more than one-third of licensed Ontario students in Grades 10 to 12 — or an estimated 108,000 teens — reported having texted while driving at least once in the past year.

For Grade 12 students alone, 46 per cent of those who drive say they also texted at least once while operating a vehicle.

"This was a big surprise to us," said Robert Mann, a senior scientist at CAMH in Toronto. "We know that this is a very hazardous behaviour and some of the reports in the literature suggest that texting while you're driving can increase your chances of being involved in a collision by about 20 times or more.

"I think that texting is considered to be considerably hazardous because you have to actually type on the keyboard while you're driving," he said.

Such distracted driving is illegal across Canada, yet many adult and teen drivers continue to communicate by keyboard while in the driver's seat.

Yet the student surveys have found that the percentage of students who reported drinking and driving has declined dramatically over the past 20 years, he said.

Here is a video explaining this interesting survey and how the surveyors showed the teens the danger of their behavior.

While most of the "texters" are young people, it is becoming more popular as the communication is so instant yet stays recorded for those who are not "on message" (something like "online"). This is an important point. There is not need to instantly read and reply to a text message. It will be there when you are finished driving.

Canada Day 2014: Time to Move On from E-mail Advertising

This July first in Canada was not only a holiday but the start of a new anti-spam law. Now messages must be e-mailed only to consenting people and companies. Will this change the amount of spam Canadians receive? Probably not for several reasons: 1) Unless the recipient reports the offending spam it will continue to be sent. 2) The amount of spam is astronomical and impossible for any country to control 3) Most importantly - e-mail is now "old technology" with social media in various forms taking over and instant messages being faster than e-mail anyway. E-mail has already been replaced. I personally have younger relatives that rarely check their e-mail.

In a recent article written by Leah Eichler entitled, "E-mail has had it day. It's time to move on", she agrees with this point of view that e-mail is now passe and not as useful. Here is part of her article.

E-mail can be described as the “grandfather” of workplace productivity tools, but today, most of us experience a love-hate relationship with it. I can’t stop checking my e-mail accounts but then I take so much delight in deleting incoming messages that I often purge my inbox of important e-mails.

There are 108.7 billion e-mails sent and received a day, according to Radicati, a technology market research firm, and the majority of traffic comes from business accounts. They also report that the number of worldwide e-mail users is expected to grow from over 2.5 billion in 2014 to over 2.8 billion in 2018.

The average employee spends 40 per cent of his or her time dealing with internal e-mails that have little to no impact on their business. Think about that next time you scroll through your inbox, feeling harassed because you have too much to do in too little time. The productivity losses are nothing short of astronomical.

So what is replacing e-mail? For those of us with smart phones (and even some "dumb" phones), instant messages is the way - faster and not so wordy. No quotations, no long paragraphs with useless information. However, not everyone embraces mobile devices.

Enter social media. There are an incredible number of forms and types, all that have appeared in the last 10 years. If Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LikedIn, Google+, Pinterest and StumbleUpon were not enough, there is Delicious, Digg, MySpace, Bebo, Mister-Wong, Reddit, Wanelo, Orkut, Xing, Buffer, Evernote, Pinboard, VK, Springboard, Buffer, Flipboard, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, Arto, Plurk, Deaspora, Blogger Post, TypePad Post, Box.net, Kindle It, Baidu, Netlog, CiteULike, Jumptags, Netvouz, Diigo, Bib Sonomy, Blog Marks, StartAid, Khabbr, Memeame and Yoolink. Do you think this is a lot of sites? Believe it or not, this is only half the list. I got tired of typing all of them

You may wonder who actually uses all of these sites. I can see some words from other languages besides English. Are they targeted towards certain demographic groups? I don't think anyone knows but I'm sure some smart online marketer will invent an app, widget or plugin that will let us know. However, one advantage of using Facebook for advertisers is the ability to target very closely to people who might buy. Another good under-used advertising media is Google+ as it is tied into the many other forms of Google, including YouTube now.

Interestingly enough, one of the suggestions in Ms. Eichler's article is that we go back to using post cards, sent out to former customers. I guess the rationale here is that past customers are more apt to buy again. However with the Canadian postal rates what they are (twice as high as the US), it seems doubtful that postcards or letters will be the next big viral fad. What do you think about e-mail advertising?
