Internet Marketing And The New FTC Guidelines

By Jeffrey Taylor On October 10, 2009 0 Comments

Here is a great article I received from Veteran Internet Marketer Marlon Sanders. He gave me permission to reprint it in its entirety.

“Should you freak out over the new FTC guidelines?”

Let’s talk about the latest FTC guidelines and how you should respond? You’re going to be seeing lots of web sites and ads that say “The average person made .01 cents,” or $1.00 or other such ridiculous numbers. Let’s talk about WHY this is and what you should understand about it.  There’s a bit of sane thinking in this ezine, or I think there is.

So you might wanna read it.

The FTC published new guidelines about income claims and affiliate links.

Here’s a great link to an interview about it from Fast Company:

http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/jennifer-vilaga/slipstream/ftc-bloggers-its-not-medium-its-message-0

Since I ain’t no lawyer, you better learn about this stuff yourself.  But let me give you a marketer’s perspective.

I in NO WAY am criticizing the law. I’m just stating a marketer’s viewpoint and explaining things you’re doing to see happen on marketer’s web pages, so you understand WHY you’re going to see these things. A lot of what I say below is intentionally MELODRAMATIC and tongue in cheek. But there is a real law and real penalties.  So understand that while I’m making a bit of light of it, there IS a real point here you need to take seriously.

Let’s drill down.

1.  Typicality of results

If you use testimonials or endorsements that make a specific claim, you ALSO have to reveal the results the average user gets. So if you read in one of my letters and endorsement or testimonial that says Johnny or Betty used one of my products and paid for a new house with it, you’ll ALSO be seeing a disclaimer that says:

“The average person who bought this product made .01 cents.” I may be exaggerating but that is roughly what you’ll be reading quite a bit.

Now, you and I BOTH know (or you should know) that the average person buys stuff and doesn’t do a lot with it.  Or if you don’t know that or haven’t heard it, it is the truth. Then again, the average person reads two books a year, can’t spell the word Potato, thinks UFO’s exist, and doesn’t vote in elections. So unless YOU are average, this shouldn’t be of great concern to you.  Now granted, I had to look up the spelling of potato in Wikipedia. But at LEAST I’m bright enough to do that.

A lot of people aren’t.

HOWEVER — having said that, about three weeks ago, I published an article FORESEEING what has gone down.
I published an article that said basically 95% of people don’t do squat at Internet marketing.

That statement a few disillusioned souls to refund to my office. Absolutely phenomenal.

So let me break this down for you again at the risk of having other pie-in-sky dreamers freak out over it.

Here’s what you’re going to see:

Marketers WILL have statements in their sales materials that reveal the average results are PATHETIC. Does THAT mean the methods don’t work? Heck no. What it means is people don’t work the methods. I speak the truth.

a.  Very few people read more than five chapters of those books, ebooks and courses they buy. I know this because I’ve put tracking links in products and I can tell how deep people read into the product.

So HOW pray tell are the average results going to be good when, on average, NO ONE even READS the product?

Should the fact that you’re competing against people who can’t and don’t read ALARM you?  Or should it KINDA make you excited to know that you’re competing against people who buy stuff and never even read it?

b.  Out of the people who DO read, there are many reasons people buy products. A LOT of people, maybe even the majority, buy out of curiosity or to do research. They don’t INTEND on acting on the information. I do this ALL the time. I’m a curious person.  I buy stuff all the time out of curiosity with zero intention of doing anything with it. Does that INVALIDATE the information I’m reading and mean it doesn’t work because a whole lot of people are just like me and reading for enjoyment, research or curiosity?

c.  Do you really believe you’re an average person? Personally, I don’t like the attitude that everything should be boiled down to the lowest common denominator and we should protect people who can’t read, can’t spell (or at LEAST look it up in Wikipedia) and believe stupid stuff like they can push a button and buy a yacht the next week.

One way or the other, evolution will eventually weed those people out.  Just not in OUR lifetime.

I like to think that God don’t make junk and that I got a little something going for me. And I would hope you do also.

d.  Decreased competition is GOOD. This law will weed out some competitors who just don’t want to reveal that the people who buy their deal on average don’t do squat. This is good. It’s the law of supply and demand.  Less supply means more of the pie for the rest of us.  Seriously, this law isn’t the end of the world.

I’ve complied with MOST of it all my career or done my best to.
Much or most of this law has been in place for a long time.  People are just now realizing what the law says.

My take is, you don’t freak out. You just comply. Ain’t no big thang. But when you see some disclaimers that sound outlandish, you DO need to understand WHY they are there and the purpose and intent of them to protect new, uninformed people from making bad decisions.

I HAVE seen people who ARE sincere believe extreme hype and spend money they didn’t have.

Law one: Do NOT spend money you don’t have to chase an uncertain result.  Scared money never wins.  You build a business with money you can afford to lose.

Law two: There is no simple, easy, no-brainer thing you can do that will bring you in 6 g’s a month.  Everything in business requires a brain and thinking.

Law three: People who are an overnight success were either lucky, inordinately talented or spent a long time preparing for that big moment of success.

Law four: There is no magic ebook or course you can buy that in 30 days or even 60 is going to allow you to pay off those huge credit card bills or buy you a Lambo.  So stop asking for it and looking for it.

You GROW a business over time, not overnight.  Relationships with customers take some time to build.  And some people like my friends Lee McIntyre and Jason Fladlien DO extremely well really fast. But yeah, that ain’t average.

It took me a lot longer.
Is This A Hidden Flaw In The Law?

Now, lest you think this is all rosy, there IS a hidden flaw in the law.

Here it is:

What the law SHOULD say is that you have to publish the average results of people who reasonably followed what you taught.

This does NOT mean you skirt the law. I’m just saying here is why I think it’s misguided.  Now, I’m NOT blaming the FTC on this.
They are trying to protect people.

I understand that and it’s a noble cause. They have the right to make and enforce the law and it’s our job to comply fully and completely.

But let me give you an example from a marketer’s perspective:

The AVERAGE person who buys a beginner’s book on how to play the guitar WON’T ever play more than maybe one chord. They read chapter one, and go back to playing video games, eating bon bons on the sofa or reading the National Enquirer. I’m NOT making this up.  This is actually true.  But what’s wrong with that?  I have all kinds of books on all kinds of topics I bought for one reason or the other and never did anything with.

Like this book over here on my bookshelf on how to design a database.  Like I ever read that!  I mean, it sounded like a good idea at the time! I doubt I made it through one chapter.  No big deal.  And on rare occasion I eat bon bons and read the National Enquirer. So there you go.

Here’s what the law SHOULD say through the eyes of a marketer: What is the average result by the person who actually follows the majority, if not all, of the instructions? Of course, there are so few of those people, it wouldn’t make for a very good law. That would expose how ridiculous it is.

For example, how many people READ the Bible cover-to-cover or even the New Testament? How about even one whole chapter? And how many of those people can even QUOTE what the 10 commandments are not to mention even take a stab at following them? Case proved.

The obvious example here is the people who buy something off of a TV commercial that helps them drop 10 pounds.

Whatever “it” is comes with a little manual that says in addition to using whatever the tool is, you ALSO have to STOP stuffing your pretty little face with pizza, beer, tacos, nachos, pie, cake and candy, not to mention those piggie blanket things down at the mall I like to chow down on.

Of course, about .00001% of the people actually do that. So we all KNOW what the average results are. Does that mean whatever was sold doesn’t work?

It’s like Jared on those Subway commercials. By the way, I think Subway is a trademark.  I probably am supposed to say that.

Can you imagine the commercials when they say THIS?

“While Jared dumped 108 pounds, (or however many it was) the average Subway customer actually GAINS 25 pounds in a period of 5 years because in addition to  eating subs, they ALSO on average consume 512 pizzas, 398 bottles  of beer, 498 pieces of candy, 109 servings of cake or pie and 598 bon bons, not to mention soft drinks and other assorted goodies.”

Americans, on average, are considerably overweight.  Eating at Subway ain’t gonna change that as long people continue to pig down on other stuff.

Is THAT Subway’s fault?

So I ate at Subway this week.  I also bought a full pumpkin pie and chowed down on it (albeit a little guiltily).  I had some pizza and ice cream. So on net I think I gained 1 or 2 pounds this week.  None of that is Subway’s fault.  By the way, this example if HYPOTHETICAL.
Maybe Subway customers lose tons.  I don’t know.

It’s an example or illustration that’s pure fantasy in my head and NOT representative of true, real Subway customers.

Here’s my POINT:

Isn’t the real question what happens in that rare event when someone actually FOLLOWS instructions? I think that my results would look pretty decent if you looked at what happens when people act on what I teach.  Like on my Dashboards.

For the people who actually go through all the steps on an icon, I imagine most people get a good result on that ICON.  Thing is, they don’t go through all the icons. And that’s the fly in the ointment as far as average results are concerned.

Here’s an Example

About 3 weeks ago I published a drop dead ezine issue with extreme specifics on how to do an outline in freemind and record it using software that also is gratus. Out of roughly 50,000 people who got my ezine issue, THREE PEOPLE did anything with it.

THREE. What percentage is that? My math is crap (cause I’m “average” at math). But I think that is .006% average results. If you’re one of those 3 people, congratulations. You’re the anomaly. The weird, rare person with an ounce of entrepreneurial ability and instinct and the capacity to take action.

People worry about competition.

Look at it this way. For every 50,000 potential competitors, about 3 of them will ever do jack. This is what average is. If you’re one of the other 49,997 who didn’t do jack, it’s OK. You’re AVERAGE!  It’s normal to not do anything. It’s OK that you read my ezines for either inspiration, or for ideas, or for use in the future.

A lot of people read this ezine just in case they DO decide to do something in the future.  It’s all good. Nothing wrong with that. Fact is, I’d say that’s most people. I do the SAME exact thing.

I subscribe to, buy and store information of all sorts from all kinds of resources.

An Example From My Family

A long time ago when my dad who is 80+ now was a young buck, he took a correspondence course to learn how to fix Television sets, which were the hot new technology on the block. I’m assuming the company sold a lot of those 3-year correspondence courses. My dad finished the course and they flew him in at their expense to a graduation with two other people.

That’s right. Two others finished the course that year!  Three total.

My dad went on to do very well in the TV service business and at one point serviced the TV sets for virtually every hotel and motel in in the city we grew up. And that was his part time job. The correspondence course was a GREAT course.  It worked.  It allowed my dad to accumulate substantial assets and support my family over the course of his lifetime. Yet the average person who took that course NEVER made even one DIME because they never FINISHED it.

That’s the fly in the ointment with this law.

You know that book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie?

On AVERAGE I dare say people who buy that book do NOT Win Friends or Influence people.  Why?  Because it says stuff like you have to smile at people and consider their point of view and listen. How many people who buy that book REALLY do it?  Seriously.  How many people do you know who listen, always consider the other person’s point of view and who do all the other stuff the book teaches?

Not me!  That’s for sure.  And probably hardly anyone I know. Ain’t Dale Carnegie’s fault I like to talk more than I listen, criticize others, and consider my own point of view first.

2.  Revealing affiliate links. This one is more vague.  But the FTC says that, more or less, you need to be transparent about this relationship. No problemo.

You tell people it’s an affiliate link or you make a commission.  Whatever. I don’t think this amounts to diddly squat.  Just do it. Here’s my affiliate link:  blah, blah, blah. Or:  Affiliate link:  blah, blah, blah. Ain’t no big thang.  I’m not sure exactly how you have to reveal them or what’s required.  I BELIEVE you just have to state that they’re  affiliate links. That’s how I read the law.

“OMG!  I clicked a link, bought and someone snagged a few bucks in their bank account because of it.  The world is coming to an end!”

Personally, I make an ATTEMPT to buy via affiliate links because I want to SUPPORT the people who give me ideas and turn me onto cool
stuff.   But maybe that’s just me.

I reckon lots of average folks out there believe that the people who take time to write elaborate reviews on blogs with nice graphic design and perty pictures ‘n stuff are just altruistic human beings and doing it without making one penny if they click their little link their, whip out their credit card and punch in the numbers.

So in the spirit of full disclosure, get this NOW!  ALL links to ANY product in my ezines or products  that are NOT my own ARE affiliate links. That means, if you click and pull out your credit card and enter those little numbers on it and push SUBMIT that money is going to appear in my bank account. If you have a problem with that, then do NOT enter your credit card numbers now, quickly and easily and do NOT push submit.  Not NOW.
Please. Thank you very much.

If you have been deceived into thinking I’m a charity and I do this out of the goodness of my human heart just because I ain’t got nothing else to do with my time, then let me clarify this for you right this second. You click.  You buy.  I profit. How ’bout them bananas?

The Final Disclaimer

In the words of Frank freaking Kern, I ain’t a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. That means you’re well advised to go read the little law yourself, consult your own legal advice, and, in general, use that little thingy God put in your head called a BRAIN. Now that’s a pretty novel concept for a lot of us, myself included.

And I DO expect that at least 3 people who read this ezine will do it. Still, I gotta say that just cause I’m supposed to and it makes me sleep better at night.

What You DO Need To Do

As I read the law, here’s the scoop:

1. If you publish testimonials or endorsements that aren’t typical of average results, you need to reveal what those average results actually are, as pathetic and pitiful as they probably are or will be.

2. If you make claims or promises in your letter, as anyone selling anything does if they hope to make any sale before Christmas, then you need to state what the average results.

I’m not certain the law requires this but I believe it does.

Again, you and I both know that in ANY how to product, the average results will be absolutely pathetic.  Just embarrassing.  So live with it. Comply with the law.  There is no choice about this. Personally, I’ll probably state that my average earnings from my buyers are .01 each unless I can get provable stats that show otherwise.

Since thousands of my email addresses from thousands of customers in dozens of countries are no longer valid, getting stats OTHER than that won’t be easy. So when you see those average earnings from myself and other marketers, understand why they are there and what they MEAN.

Oh, if I send you a survey about this, please take it and return it.

You can also publish testimonials that are fluffy without specific results.  Like “OMG, Marlon is so smart!” Personally, I like to print out and read those testimonials anyway. I try to get other people to let me read them to them but you know…that doesn’t go down so well.

3.  Consider publishing a separate web page for non-U.S. customers

I’m NOT sure about this one yet.  But I THINK you will legally be able to serve up a different page to non-U.S. customers.

4.  If you use affiliate links, reveal they’re an affiliate link.

Like honestly, who except the rawest newbie doesn’t know this in our industry. So revealing it won’t make a dime’s worth of difference in your sales. This is NOT the end of the world. People will STILL buy from you if they are educated about the law in the U.S. Average results suck but hopefully YOU aren’t average. And if you are, join the crowd.

Oh, and read the law yourself since I ain’t no lawyer nor attorney. I’m just an online marketer who likes to sell stuff.

I may be wrong as the day is long on all aspects of this law and my opinions. So use your noodle to get the boodle and do a bit of your own sound thinking and research.

Top MLM Forum Marketing Mistakes

By Jeffrey Taylor On September 26, 2009 0 Comments

Don’t make these common MLM Marketing Mistakes on Forums

You just joined your first MLM Forum and you can’t wait to tell all the members about your great opportunity. Slow Down! In this article I am going to explain a few of the most common mistakes newcomers to Forum Marketing make.

I am a member of a few well known Network Marketing Forums and I see these common newbie mistakes all the time.

There is no better way to promote your MLM opportunity than to make connections and meet people than getting on forums. But, There is a right way and a wrong way to make your presence known.

The problem many newcomers to MLM Forum Marketing have is understanding how to attract leads. Unfortunately, some multi level marketing trainers are teaching poor techniques.

What is a Forum and how can it help you in Network Marketing?

A forum is an online community where people post questions and the knowledgeable members post their answers. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people, network with like-minds, and create a lot of leads.

The 2 forums you should be looking to join are Network Marketing forums and internet marketing forums.

When you choose the top 2-3 forums you want to be a part of, you will be able to ask questions and add your opinions, but, you will also make new friends and learn a lot about MLM and internet marketing.

Here are some helpful tips for MLM Forum marketing so that you don’t make these common mistakes:

Do NOT post and try to sell your opportunity on the forum! Everyone will see this as spam. It will more than likely get you banned from the forum. Usually if a newbie does this they will be scolded by some of the senior members. It starts you off in the forum looking like an amateur. You will not make friends or create leads posting blasts about your wonderful business opportunity.

Do NOT make forum posts for the sole purpose of generating leads. As you become more involved in the forum conversations and begin to add helpful content, people will click on your signature and find your web pages on their own.

Where Can You Market You MLM opportunity on Forums?

A major part of forum marketing is your Forum Signature. Your signature is where you can market yourself and your MLM without getting into trouble.

Your signature is a few lines of text (no more than 3 lines usually) where you’re allowed to promote yourself and/or have a link to your website. This is not an option if you want to promote your stuff in an acceptable manner every time you post to a thread. It is something you must setup before you begin posting!

Why is it so important?

As you’re answering people’s questions and adding value to the community, people are going to read your post and want to learn more about you and what business you are in. Once you become a respected member of the community more people will be attracted to you and will click on your links and profile.

Check out the forum before you post.

It is always a good idea to sit back and observe for the first week to get a feel for the forum. If you have a good question, do not be afraid to post it and always respond to comments and tips you receive. Be professional! If you can’t handle constructive criticism, don’t post.

Some forums allow you to post articles and videos which can be viewed by other members. Once you begin creating your own articles and blog posts and videos put them up. If they have value people wills see them.
MLM Forums are loaded with beginners and newcomers to internet marketing.

It is important to understand that there are going to be quite a few newcomers to MLM on the forum so do not be intimidated by the handful of experts you see posting all the time. If you wait for your opportunity and provide value to the forum many of these newcomers will click on your signature and get to know you.

The more you participate the more you are seen by other Network Marketers. People are curious and will click your link just to see what you are currently involved in. Your signature can include a link to your capture page and a link to your personal blog.

Can the MLM Mastermind System by Jonathan Budd Build Your Business?

By Jeffrey Taylor On August 15, 2009 0 Comments

I love doing reviews on internet marketing programs and occasionally I run into ones that stand heads and tails above the others.

I discovered Jonathan Budd and his MLM Mastermind System last year and have been a member ever since. Now I spend my marketing dollars very wisely and have joined many different systems only to drop them when they did not deliver.

You probably already realize that the old way of network marketing is a flawed system that leads many people down the path of failure. The system is still being taught to millions of people and there is a huge attrition level because of this.

The time consuming and frustrating system that teaches you to chase after uninterested people and build a warm market list is not in tune with the technology that exists for you today.

Jonathan Budd and his MLM Mastermind System embraces technology and teaches Network Marketers how to use internet marketing to attract leads to you and shows you haow to create a marketing lead funnel with the use of capture pages.

I have found his training tutorials easy to follow and if you follow his plan you can become very successful building a successful home business.

Use the link below to gain access to his Free 8 day boot camp where Jonathan will literally give you over $550 worth of free training and tips. You will also gain access to an exclusive $1 free trial to join his MLM Mastermind Inner Circle.

Free Tips On Writing Strong Headlines in Emails, Classifieds Ads, and Capture Pages

By Jeffrey Taylor On August 6, 2009 0 Comments

Why Nobody is Reading Your Ads or Opening Your Emails

In today’s fast moving internet community it is all one can do to keep with the latest changes.

But one thing remains the same. You must have a good message to bring people into your marketing funnel. I remember back in the 1980s when I was running a small Advertising Agency in NY I became a student of legendary advertising greats John Caples and David Ogilvy. In fact, I was digging through my old boxes of books the other day and blew the dust off a few of them. I am such a pack rat!

While reviewing some of their writings it gave me the inspiration to write this post. You see back in the 80’s I was writing ads for the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Newsday etc.. and at $15-30k per ad they had to work. It was very difficult back then to really track their effectiveness. Today with google adwords, analytics and capture page opt in forms we can review stats and compare them with conversions to determine if our ads are working.

If you are getting traffic, but no opt ins or responses you need to take a hard look at your message. If you are using google analytics and notice that the length of time on your page is short it is probably your headline. Writing bad headlines is probably the most common mistake internet marketers make when designing ads.

Don’t believe me? Just go into Craigslist Small biz Ads section and start reading down the page. How many of those headlines move you to action?

Next time you are deleting an email without opening it ask yourself, what in that subject line made me decide to delete?

Next time you get to a capture page and hit the back button before reading on, what in the headline killed your desire to read further?

I learned very quickly that the headline was the determining factor as to whether my ads were even read by people.

Advertising legend David Ogilvy, wrote: “When you have written your headline, you have spent 80 cents out of your dollar.” That is because scientific tests have shown that 80% of the effectiveness of an ad is in the headline.

One of my favorite books written by John Caples is called, Tested Advertising Methods, He wrote, “In a print ad, 75% of the buying decisions are made in the headline alone.”

How does all this apply to your online marketing?

*  If you are writing emails your subject line is your headline. If you fail to move a person to take action through your subject line they will never read your email regardless of how well it is written.

*  If you are placing classified ads in craigslist your headline is the only thing people see. If they do not click your headline they will never see your ad.

*  On your capture pages your headline will determine if the reader moves further down on your page and will greatly influence if they opt in to your form.

Entire books have been written on Headlines and writing copy, but I will give you a few tips to help you create better headlines.

First of all let’s make one thing perfectly clear. Your headline MUST grab the readers attention and compel them to read the copy or click on the email. It is a fact that 5 times as many people read the headline as read the ad. Fail in your headline and your response level will be low.

1. What is the objective of your headline? What do you want to create in the mind of the reader? The 2 biggest attention grabbers are to Gain Pleasure or Avoid Pain. Are you trying to solve a problem?

2. Who is your target audience? If you are targeting a specific person your headline must address their needs or wants. If a person is struggling in network marketing and needs additional training you need to address their problem and your solution right away to get them to read further.

Answer this question, “What’s in it for me.” What reward will I receive by reading further or opening this email? Remember, writing copy is all about emotion, so use emotional words.

Here is the best way to get started.

Go online and create a text file on your desktop. Look at as many headlines as you can and cut and paste the ones that really stand out, on to your text file. Keep adding as many headlines as possible until you have hundreds of them. This is where you can refer to for inspiration.

Sit down and write 10-20 headlines using different approaches.

Put the page aside for one day. Reread your headlines the next day and ask yourself how can I make this better. Just changing one word or phrase in your headline can be the difference between success and failure.

Get a list of power words and action statements.

How To, Discover, Free, Put an end to, Finally, At Last, impress, improve, create

Put your headline in quotations. It has been proven that putting your headline in quotations can increase readership by as much as 28%. Why? Because the ad appears more important because it gives the impression someone is being quotes and adds credibility.

Here are a few ideas when putting your headline together:

Make a strong promise

Highlight the benefits to the reader

Explain exactly what you are offering

Arouse curiosity

Make an announcement

Ask a question

Explain How To

You must always keep in mind that your headline is the front door to your message. It must grab the reader and give them a reason to read further. You want that person to just move down the page because they feel they are missing something if they don’t. Take your time, write lots of headlines and Test, Test, Test!

Network Marketing Follow up – Phone Skills are a Must!

By Jeffrey Taylor On June 23, 2009 0 Comments

Good Telephone skills is a must in your Network Marketing Business!

If you joined an MLM and were told that you did not have to contact people on the phone, you were misled.

At www.5DayMLMBootCamp.com we talk about creating a lead funnel using the principles of Attraction Marketing. the purpose of using internet marketing is to create ads and provide information designed to attract prospects to you via opt in forms. What you do once you start receiving leads is the difference between growing your network marketing business and failing.

Too many people start using internet marketing to promote their MLM thinking that they can rely on the internet to build their downline. They think that they can avoid talking to people on the phone. This is simply not the case.

The internet is a tool, just like any other marketing medium you are using to promote your business.  It goal should be to bring qualified prospects to you so you can contact them back and start the process of relationship building.

The biggest problem with people using the phone to promote their MLM opportunity is that they come off sounding like a salesperson and never really connect with the person on the other end of the phone. Remember, if you are using attraction marketing they opted in to your stuff and invited you to contact them back. If you start off your conversation with a sales pitch you will never be able to build a relationship.

It is frustrating to me whenever I get a call from a network marketer and they immediately start pitching their product and company or how much money I can make. They do not even know me yet. They have not even asked me a single question about what I am interested in. People join people, not products or companies. Your presentation must be designed to connect with the prospect and learn about them and what makes them tick. The product or opportunity is the solution and should not be presented until you know what the problem is.

Watch the Video below and then go to the MLM Internet Training Boot Camp and enroll. Day 5 of the boot camp goes into proper phone skills in more detail.
