The impact of that was the beginning of the fitness niche that you see today.  Exercise was not just a gimmick for Jack, like you see so many businesses pushing today; just to make money.  It wasn’t a fad for him, it was a way of life, each and every day.  Jack LaLanne I remember you and your wife Elaine’s career; and, I remember how you inspired a nation to get fit by setting an example with your words, your actions and your life.

Today, I myself will get up and get moving; I’ll start on my exercise bike.  My son is going to begin an intensive interval training program called Fearless 45 today. I will do my best to encourage him to follow through…not just for a short term goal but to promote life long health and well-being.  That is what Jack tried to teach all who would listen was to make well-being.

I myself have gotten away from living a life of healthy exercise and eating right.  I love that you lived a whole life of fitness from the moment you understood it’s power to enhance you day to day existence.  Your television show was on the air for something like 34 years.  You made guest appearances on other shows, on network news and on videos and the like.  I can still hear the excitement and the dedication in your voice.

How wonderful it would be to have that same joy and commitment.  So, today Jack LaLanne I will dedicate my first day of being recommitted to exercise as a permanent lifestyle change.  Thank you, God bless you and your family.  As a side note: that link to Fearless 45 is an affiliate link and if you were to purchase it…I would be financially compensated. That doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a good program for those who are approved by their doctors to be healthy enough to pursue that level of fitness.

       Successful internet marketers, Jeff Wellman and Paul Counts, are on the cutting edge with the technique of teaching individuals live and in great detail internet marketing techniques on their live webinars.   Their webinars are not canned, nor are they presented without interaction with their students.   This free webinar, $100 a day affiliate marketing system, is full of  content.  It is a webinar that really, and truly, gets down to the nuts and bolts of how to take a PLR product, and add value by re-working it.   Then, taking that new product and rebranding it into a product that you can be proud of.   With this process that Jeff and Paul teach, you simply sell it as your very own polished product that your customers find to be worth spending their hard earned cash on.

        Many people just don’t believe how much they learn from these two personalable  marketers until they hear it for the first time.  In fact, over and over again they receive notes in their support telling them that what they are doing is changing lives because of the kind of teaching that they put out their for their online students.  You probably won’t believe it either until you listen in.  If you have tried and failed to sell PLR products online before, then you need to hear this for yourself.  http://bit.ly/cbXxdO 

         The webinar is on March 10, 2010 at 9:30 pm ET.  You won’t believe how far, or in-depth Jeff Wellman and Paul Counts go in teaching important techniques regarding their $100 dollars a day Affiliate Marketing System.  This webinar is all about PLR.  Remember, this webinar is FREE. http://bit.ly/cbXxdO

*For those of you who care to know…that link is an affiliate link and even though the webinar is free…should a reader of this blog click on it and purchase a program through the $100 dollars a day affiliate marketing system in the future…I would be financially compensated for it later.  Thanks for reading!

       Getting a mentor or an instructor who’s teaching style matches up with your learning style is important to maximizing the instruction.  I love learning in a relaxed setting. 

         It is hard not to feel intimidated when you are trying to absorb information all at once from someone who is treating you with a superior attitude or in a demeaning way.  My mentor doesn’t do that.   As an adult, I realize that not everyone has access to a coach, mentor, or instructor who is as great as mine is…however, if what you are wanting to learn is important enough to you…you will make an effort to find someone who makes you feel safe enough to make mistakes while you learn; knowing that you will not be made to feel stupid while you learn it.

       That is important.  Life is interesting and there are so many things to do and learn.  Be adverturous and explore…find someone who loves teaching, to learn from.  You will not be disappointed.  Remember, if you are ever in the position of doing the teaching…take the time to make sure that those who are in the position of learning…actually do so, while feeling good about the process!

        Kudos to my coach and mentor Dixie Brown of Lay Off Your Boss Marketing.    I am an affiliate for them because I believe in what they teach and how they teach it.  If you are interested in learning how to market online or to becoming an affiliate marketer in any niche online…then Jeff Wellman, Dixie Brown, Paul Counts are the people you need to learn from.   Right at the moment, Dixie has a great video training for *Free* on turning your PLR products into CASH -  http://bit.ly/315R1m  Take advantage of her great teaching abilities and you too will know what value she adds to the Lay Off Your Boss Marketing Team and to those who wish to learn to making money online!

            However, for those that do spend….they are quickly overwhelmed when they discover the amount of new skills and knowledge that they must acquire before they can even begin to make lots money…not to mention the discouragement that sets in when they realize how long it will be before they learn enough to make that huge investment of money back.  It just isn’t practical to spend thousands and wait 12 months to 2 years to learn enough knowledge and skills to make your money back.  Marketing is a system for selling products or services; and, because it is a system…that means there are many components. 

          What if you could learn some of the techniques that would bring in enough money to pay an extra bill or two a month?  Would that be a benefit to you?  I am sure that it would.  Rapid Cash doesn’t promise to make you millions or guarantee that you will be driving a new car in a week…that is foolishness.  On the other hand, Rapid Cash can add enough cash to your pocket to help take some of the pressure off the average person’s monthly struggles http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7 . 

       You see, what alot of those big named gurus and their programs promise you is unrealistic when you think about it.  In their sales pages and videos…they are flaunting their cars, their mansions and piles of money.  Yes it is possible to acquire those things; however, what they often don’t tell you is that it has taken them years and tons of money to learn how to earn the kind of skills and knowledge needed to make that happen.  It does not happen overnight like that for the average person.  It takes alot of work…and a whole lot of expert help to get to that level. 

          People are often manipulated by those ads to believe that they can achieve that level of success quickly.  Realistically, learning is a process and everyone has to start somewhere.  I am an affiliate for Rapid Cash Marketing.  http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7   They teach you how to use skills and knowledge to earn extra money while you learn those other things about making money online, learning a proven, in- depth internet marketing system that can lead to a higher level of internet marketing success. 

       There is a team of coaches who are there to teach you how to pick up extra cash to supplement your income with skills that you may already have or can quickly develop.   They are knowledgable in many areas and use these skills themselves to earn money online.    Do you have digital photo experience, interviewing skills, graphic arts skills, writing skills, direct marketing skills, writing sales letters, video skills,  voice over abilities, editing skills, etc?  The list goes on…but, if you could learn how to use those skills in an effective way to earn enough money to take the edge off of your present financial situation it would be a blessing right?  

          If you are willing to learn and willing to take action towards achieving some financial success online then check out this link:  http://tinyurl.com/djr2a7   Yes, I will get a financial reward if you were to purchase…but, if their program improved your finances; then, I think you would thank me anyway!   I think you will see the wisdom in investing a small amount of money that will quickly repay your investment if you put in the effort to do what the successful internet marketers Jeff Wellman, Dixie Brown, and Paul Counts instruct you to do. 

           There are even people who want or need to sell products or services online…but, they cringe at the very thought of being called a salesperson.  They want to make money…but, they don’t want to sell.   Why is that; it is because over the years, sales people have gotten a reputation as being pushy, dishonest, or smarmy!    The reality is, to make money online-you DO need to be a sales person.  Can you successfully sell and still be perceived as  a “good person”?  

          Sure, I think you can sell products or service and still hang on to who you are, with your ethics in place.   I believe that the way you sell is a reflection of who you are as a person…or at least, it should be.  Don’t be persuaded to take one tack or another in how you market if it goes against who you are as a person; just because it worked for someone else and they made lots of money.  For those people LEARNING internet marketing, online sales techniques, or affiliate marketing….I want you to think carefully about what kind of salesperson you are!  How you conduct your business definately matters.

          In case some of you don’t know it…customers are a pretty savy bunch of people.  Oh there are coaches/marketers out there who tell you that your customer doesn’t even really know what it is they want or need; and, while there may be a handful of those kind of customers…for the most part-they Do know what they want.  Respect them and act accordingly.  

         If the customer thinks that they want something that isn’t going to benefit them; you could choose to  not correct them and just sell them what they want anyway; but is that right?  If you want to keep them happy and see them successful; you will point out the difference between wanting/needing.  Show them how they could benefit from other products, if that is the right thing for them, if  that will increase their success.    You will have gained a customer for life .  But what if your product isnt right for them; but, they want it anyway?  Truth…give them truth about what they really need…even if it is your competitor’s product or service.    Say what?

            Isn’t your goal to have a happy customer in the end?  Then you must represent yourself and your business in a way that reflects that you respect your customer by not manipulating them into purchases that they either dont want or dont need.   But you say, I am in business to make money!  True enough…but, repeat business is better than a dishonest sale that will leave a bad taste in your customer’s mouth when they think of you or your business.  They will remember how you conducted yourself as a business person; whether you handled the situation in a good way, or in a  bad/indifferent way.

          In my mind, if you have to “shock” your potential customer by how you “sell” them…then you are merely playing mind games and manipulating the customer with ”black hat” tactics.  Instead, try operating in a genuine way which connects what you provide them, along with exactly what they need.  Now that may take some honest, straightforward speaking because some of your customers may believe they need something else.  You have to convince them with facts, figures, and testimonies that don’t promise them the moon…when you know that you can’t deliver them any such thing.  Be realistic with your promises…make sure you can deliver what you say you can; and then, go one step further and give them a bit more.  They will recognize your commitment to them, as your customer, and it will begin to build a loyalty between you, as the salesperson; and them, as the buyer.

          Ok, some more honesty here; your honesty as a marketer or salesperson… can cost you some customers.  What?  Why would being honest cost you customers?   It is because your customers have been being taught by others to expect to be manipulated.  They may think that you are not for real…they may believe that there is a “catch” to what you are promising them.  It is possible that your potential customer may buy into another marketer’s big promises or overly hyped product-if it doesn’t deliver them what they expected…that will come back to bite both the customer and the marketer who did not represent themselves or their product/services honestly.    It is up to you to present yourself in a way that delivers exactly what you say you will, in the way you promise, in a timely manner; and, back up your promises by following through.  Eventually, word gets around about how solid you are as a marketer and you will get respect, as well as trust, from those who do business with you.   And what’s more, they WILL come back and DO business with you because they will realize that it is better to deal with business people that are honest in how they conduct their business.

         In the old days when people conducted business in small towns…they quickly made a name for themselves as honest or dishonest.  Word got around.  The internet may be a bigger business field…but, if you create an image online with your customers one way or the other…be prepared for that to impact your business!

       So, what kind of salesperson are you; or what kind of salesperson do you want to become?

         Keith Wellman is well known for many ground breaking internet marketing programs.  He actually started his father Jeff Wellman new career in internet marketing a couple of years back when he was laid off from a well known baby food factory job.  Jeff made a name for himself quickly by creating his first Lay Off Your Boss program.  It was successful and fueled his desire to learn and conquer a business that seemed so overwhelming in the beginning because of information overload.  Jeff had to break it down and learn it from the ground up.  He surprised many by his rapid understanding of how the internet marketing business worked; soon, he was instructing others and then he took on the challene of coaching his students on a more intense level.   The groundwork was laid for the merger:  http://bit.ly/srhVX

         As time went on, Jeff learned that he couldn’t do it all himself; he gained momentum when he took on partners Dixie Brown and eventually Paul Counts.  Jeff will flat out tell you that he is no techno genius…that is where Dixie comes in…she happens to be brilliant in this area.  She added a dimension to the Lay Off Your Boss program that was desperately needed.  When Paul Counts came on board, he brought with him years of expertise in the SEO and traffic generation areas.  The tremendous trio, as they were branded by one of their shinning star clients Connie Baum, soon were building up a success rate among their clients.  In the meantime, Keith Wellman had launched the Autopilot Wealth Institute with modules for learning that set a new college like atmosphere for learning Internet Marketing. 

         This merger blends a skill set that is hard to beat with it follow through.   They each have a real desire to help others achieve their goals.  They are committed to communicating online skills in a way that make sense to their clients.   Questions get answered, support desk issues are handled within a day or two…not weeks like some other programs…people are finding success where previously they were left feeling like they had to buy another program, attend another marketing guru’s seminar to learn the missing pieces of the online marketing puzzle.  This all leads to happy customers who themselves often become affiliates for the program…that is how much they believe in its effectiveness.  It is all here.   http://bit.ly/srhVX

          This merger is now looking for JV partners to get the word out so that others who are desperately seeking knowledge in how to build their online presence or business can access a program that helps them to gain profitability when before they only spent more money on the latest and greatest program to come out, leaving them with more questions than answers.    A smart JV is going to get connected to this program as quickly as possible because not only is it going to make them money, it is going to make them a hero in the eyes of their customers because of the content that this merger is going to give them; enabling them to achieve their goals.  These partners are committed to helping people achieve their online goals in a way that doesn’t stop until they have achieved success.  They dont stop answering questions until every person in the supportive weekly Q & A calls.  These calls have been known to go for hours without dropping a listening participant.  That is pretty amazing in itself…it tells you that people are hungry for answers and they know that they are going to get what they came for!
