When I first found out that marketing could generate me leads of people interested in doing business with me even before I made any direct contact I couldn’t believe it. But Guess what? It is much easier than said. What if I told you there was a way that you could improve your marketing results today?

I am sure you thinking, Ok John, what is “new secret” today? What are you going to share with me that I haven’t heard of before?

Every trainer in the network marketing industry is preaching from his or her Youtube channel and email newsletter about all the different types of marketing, but what could you possibly offer me?

Here is the secret: The so called “Network Marketing Experts” did not come up with all their ideas on their own. They read the book and recreated the information as their own.

They took the principles of marketing that work, and they just re-did them!

Nothing special…

So how can you do the same thing?

Easy! Steal what works! If you hear of a company that is having great results with their marketing, take their ideas and apply them to your business.

I see too many network marketing set up web sites and marketing where they are pioneering some new idea. As you should know by now Pioneers found wealth. Pioneers are known for being shot with arrows and dying.

Tip- What works, WORKS!

To generate all the leads you need, just follow what works! Do not trying and recreate what has work for 100 plus years in direct response marketing.

Nice post.

Not sure I agree with you this time, John.

Of course, we can all claim "innovators" are just adding a little twist on something already used, and not creating anything new.

To generate all the leads you need, just follow what works! Do not trying and recreate what has work for 100 plus years in direct response marketing.

Following what already works is the best way to go when you're starting out, and I recommend going one step further and even using something that is already set up.

But this strategy is just an initial step. There's no future in being "just another one". Proof of this is what Ferny & Ray did with SEO Networker, are they not being pioneers?

To succeed, you need to find your own market, and apply "what's been done" + your own twist to dominate it.

I like this topic, and I'm sure I'll enjoy the discussion.

[Reynaldo Perales Contribution Level: 3]

Personally, yeah..

..that's been going on for as long as I can remember in fact..some take it as a
compliment..

By the way..isn't that what we do with key words?..phases?..

rey

P.S. That does not mean it will work for everybody..unless the mindset are close..

Thanks for the post John; interesting angle you took on this one.

Peter Drucker, the father of modern corporate management is noted as saying:
“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”

Ted Levitt, an American economist, professor at Harvard Business School and editor of the Harvard Business Review said:
“Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress”

Without innovation, life would simply stagnate. If you have ever seen a pond that has stagnated (dead water) you'll find a hostile environment of disease, chaos and filth. Yes life persists in the pond, but it's not very pretty, and eventually the pond dries up and disappears.

In contrast, a pond that is fed by an ever flowing stream of fresh water is teaming with life and energy. In turn there is a huge ripple effect. That source of clean water provides sustenance and life to surrounding vegetation and wildlife which in turn contributes to the surrounding ecosystem at large.

Without innovation, so too, industry would simply stagnate; creating a great disservice to the consumer public.

Some may simply copy what others do out right and package it as their own, but not all entrepreneurs do that. Even so, everyone has a unique community and network of people that they reach and are able to impact. You and I may not engage the same people, however we have a similar message to share, A message that is unique in so much as you and are unique in our approach and delivery of that message.

In either case, the message or opportunity or what have you, continues to "flow," bringing new life and and a fresh perspective to the market place, which in turn ignites new commerce, new ideas, and new wealth.

I think my point is being missed.

The principles of successful marketing do not change at all. What I am saying to do is look at what success marketers are doing and take their stuff to apply it to your business.

Here are a couple people to learn marketing tips from:

-Craig Proctor
-David DeAngelo
-Ron LeGrand
-Dan Kennedy
-Dean Jackson

Heya John...quite a few of you young dudes are internet savvy and as a result can perhaps put a new twist on an old lead generation system. But with a ton of lead generating systems out there the twist better be good. Most people are finding out that you can generate leads but can you close the sale or maybe there no sale because it is a pyramid scheme. You might be able to sign up a quite a few people
if you create a new lead generation system but the ' little guy' gets on board and finds he is making chump change.

You need a substantial advertising campaign to generate mega leads , the internet is only one tool that is becoming saturated with millions of different get rich quick schemes, everybodys looking for leads, take this site for instance. The average person does not have the big bucks that is required to reach out to the masses, and the law of averages states that to really succeed millions of people have to be reached, the market has to be extensive. Marketing is much more than a capture page on the internet concoted by a slick I.T. person; it is a multi faceted method of reaching out to sell a valuable product or service.

I would disagree with this. I generate 20 to 30 leads a week or more with a budget of 51 dollars last week. I don't think this is a mega budget by any means. This week will probably be even better by the numbers.

Heya John..... I had a look at your $51 advertising bit....You telling me a web cam and twitter page is determining your future security. You are not the only other one out there doing this, I saw another dude on a web cam with a hoodie trying to reach out and sell something. It definefly looks like low budget stuff but you might have a market niche going on which is a good thing; but as far as business sustainabity I'm not sure. There's only a few young guns out there that really understand successful business models and appreicate the art of selling an awesome product. If you don't think that T.V. and Radio sells and that 20 to 30 drop out leads a week is going to do it for you.....GOOD LUCK
