I'm Back Once Again!

I'm back again. I put off my virtual assistant project because I found a job in downtown Pittsburgh for a while. Again, I got laid off. Now the company I worked for is letting go 50% of its' workforce.

I am continuing with my previous project. I think the best thing to do is just continue on with a home business. No one ever lays themselves off. To supplement my business I have taken a job for 4 months in an accounting/tax office. This will give me a chance to get my business off the ground so I don't suffer so much financially. I'm starting over on everything. Right now I'm working on my business plan and deciding what services I will offer and calculating what my rates will be. Tomorrow I will let everyone know what I have decided about my services. I want to open my business before tax season ends, part time.

VN VIRAL NETWORKS CONTINUED

I just wanted to add a little bit of information regarding my last post of the video regarding VN Viral Networks.

I feel that this business networking site is very well worth joining. You can send 3000 emails every 3 days and send messages to your downline every 5 days. This is on the Gold membership which I highly recommend.

If you market your links and people join using your link, you start to make money. They provide banners and sample advertising copy to use in promoting your link. They also have a blog set-up to get your business known even more. There is much much more that I haven't gotten into yet,but I fully intend too. The first time I sent everyone in my group on Facebook a message about VN Viral Networks using their promotional materials, I received 5 people that joined me. I think it is worthwhile networking on this network. It just opened not too long ago.

There will be more later as I continue to use their tools.

Veretekk Continued

I've been working everyday on Veretekk and it is proving to be very profitable as far as marketing is concerned. I work on certain tasks everyday, get thousands of leads in my various marketing portals. I send an email out to them asking them to verify and approve of me to send them further mail. I then create sequential mailers to go out to these leads. In the system, I created sequential mailers (letters) to automatically go out every 7 days to all the leads that verify. It is important to get their permission so as not to send out spam. I created a marketing center for 997MakeMoneyNow, Purple Cowboys, so my sequential mailers are a series of Purple Cowboy letters. I have been getting leads in my 997makemoneynow back office as well as in my Veretekk back office. I have even gotten people that just join me in 997makemoneynow and Veretekk that I have not even spoken to yet. Of course, I call them and offer my support because I am their sponsor. I am still thrilled about how this all works. Generating my own targeted leads! And I absolutely know where all of them are coming from. That sure beats buying leads and not knowing how old they are or if they are really targeted to my business as the lead generators claim.

VERETEKK TRAINING

Today I did 2 Veretekk live trainings. One at 8:00 am and one at 8:00 pm.

The system can be very confusing at first, but what it is actually capable of, in terms of marketing any business leaves me speechless. I can't even really explain it to anyone so they would believe it.

There is so much to learn, that I think my brain is over loading! I will learn it all though, because I see how very powerful it all is. It is worth every bit of time that it takes to learn and apply it and for the gold membership, $41.00 per month is definitely worth it! Don't tell anyone, but I feel it is worth much more than that!

You can use Veretekk for your own personal businesses or you can use it as a business in itself! And what's great about it is that you can be a silver member for free to see if it is something you will benefit from.

TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN!

Hello everyone! Time flies! I can't believe it is already Wednesday and the last post I made was last Thursday!

Well, I tried to publish my website boutique to the internet last night, but ran into some minor complications that will probably delay it 3-5 days. I'm not too happy about it, but there is nothing I can do about it, so I might as well not make a big deal about it. I was really very excited about it and then.......well, that's enough. I don't want to talk negatively because the universe might come down on me.

I just got off of Purple Cowboy Marketing training call. Tonight we discussed color personalities. This is always very interesting and informative. It really helps to know what kinds of personalities there are in the world and how to identify them so you know how to better communicate and connect with all kinds of people.

Forum Posting for Networking and Effective Marketing

I am finding that posting to forums is a great way to meet people, develop relationships, and network my business as well as find out what other people are doing and what works for them.

For me, it is very time consuming, but is proving to be effective. I am also learning more things I didn't know by reading and responding to posts. I also have a few forums with a topic of my own on them. As far as responses to my topic goes, it seems to be different on each forum. On some forums I get lots of responses and on others, not many. On one of the forums, only 1 person has responded to me and we just seem to talk back and forth regarding the topic. The topic gets viewed by others, but they don't respond. 

Today Monday November 26th

copyright: Deborah Bowman

Today was pretty busy. I was trying to catch up yesterday and today. Last week I came down with the flu and was unable to do a lot with my businesses. When I say businesses, I mean 997MakeMoneyNow and also the online boutique I am creating. 

I am creating a website/online boutique that will display products from the exotic South Pacific. I'm excited about it.

After much research, I finally found a drop shipper from a little island off of Australia called Vanuatu. It is a real life paradise where there are virtually no chemicals, pesticides or cancer causing agents to destroy the environment. Everything is grown normally, or what I call organically. All the products are the purest you can find on the face of the earth.

I am an amateur website creator, but after this first one, I am sure that the next 5 will go much smoother. I will be creating 6 mirrored websites. Mirrored, meaning all relating to one another and linked to one another. For example, I also found drop shippers that have similar products for dogs and cats. This would be a mirror of the 1st website, only with products for pets instead of humans. 

I will be using the fantastic marketing tools that I am learning from Purple Cowboy Marketing for promoting my mirrored websites.

Also, I was pleased again to see that I had another lead in my back office requesting information on 997MakeMoneyNow. I can see that the part time work I've been putting in is starting to pay off. I will continue to do as much as I can everyday and it will slowly get bigger and bigger. 

Where else can you get such innovative and detailed training for just $9.97? I'll answer that for you.  NOWHERE! 

Lots of Traffic-Websites Down

Today was pretty exciting. On one hand, I was a little frustrated because our 997MakeMoneyNow websites were down for some time today, but when I talked to Brad Slinkard, one of the founders, he said that Mo was busy fixing the problem. The problem was that the Purple Cowboys were getting more and more traffic, which is a great thing that's happening!

I'm happy to say that everything is up and running again, thanks to the technical talents of Mo Young, one of the founders.

I also was excited because everything that I'm learning and applying this past month is really starting to show that it is working. I had 2 leads sign into my site this week. For being in the program for only one month and working part time, I don't think that's so bad. I've just been consistent. Doing something everyday, no matter how big or small. If I had more time, just think how much quicker things would pull together. But, even though I'm known for being impatient with myself, there is no way I'm quitting. I'm really enjoying myself and I'm really enjoying the relationships I'm developing in the process.

This Week With 997MakeMoneyNow - Purple Cowboy Marketing

copyright: Deborah Bowman

This past week has been another busy, fun, exciting week with 997MakeMoneyNow - Purple Cowboy Marketing. As I continue to apply the skills that I am learning I have found that I am now listed on the search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. I just decided to try an experiment and did a search on my pen name "dmbunny" and a few pages on me came up on Google, Yahoo and MSN. I was pleasantly surprised. Now all I have to do is keep doing what I have been doing to make the rankings rise higher.

The key is consistency. If all you have is one hour per day, stick to that one hour everyday and you will get your name out there. Of course, the longer you can work on it, the quicker it will come, but I'd rather do little bit consistently with what little time I have and reach my goals slowly than give up and do nothing at all and never reach my goals and never change anything in my life. If you are not satisfied with what you are doing now, and if what you are currently doing is not working and has never worked, then you must change what you are doing or you will just keep coming up with the same result....nothing.

Today at 997MakeMoneyNow-Purple Cowboy Marketing

copyright: Deborah Bowman

Today was an exciting day! I downloaded the forum software. It's pretty awesome. It makes the forum posting go much faster and easier. It takes just a little longer to set up, but once it is all set up, you can do about 50 postings in 30 minutes.

I'm so impatient with myself. I want to do everything everyday. But I have to keep reminding myself that I only have so much time to spend on each task because I teach dance, work in the dance studio office and now learning all these marketing techniques with Purple Cowboy Marketing. I

It is very addicting. Once you see all the potential and realize what you can create, you just don't want to stop and as I said before, the support and taining are amazing. It is definitely based on relationships, not how many people you can get into your deal. Of course, you want people to join you, but you can look forward to supporting them and have the joy of seeing them grow and develop into leaders supporting their own team; having lifetime relationships.

The training call for tonight just ended. The training calls are always informative and I would suggest to anyone not to miss them unless you absolutely have too. There is another training call tomorrow night. Clyde Batton will be hosting the call and this call will be a little bit different than the others. This call will be based on personal growth and development which is what network marketing is really all about. The more you grow personally yourself, the better you will be at helping and supporting others. Afterall, if you can't help yourself, how are you going to help anyone else? Think about it!

Day 14 of The Purple Cowboys

copyright: Deborah Bowman



Well, I just finished my 14th day of the 14-day marketing blitz with the 997MakeMoneyNow the Purple Cowboys. I have some lose ends to wrap up this week and then the next step is to just take what I've learned and apply it consistently everyday.

The best part of this is the support that you get. I think that's what is keeping me extremely motivated is that I can speak with my sponsor or Clyde, Brad and Mo at anytime i.e., just last week, Clyde spent about an hour on the phone with me priming me up on the 17 leads I received and how to handle them. I have never experienced such support from any organization in my life!

My sponsor, Lawren is very very motivated, just as I am. I'm so glad to have a sponsor that is as motivated as I am so we are on the same page. She is wonderful. Anytime she finds something that is useful to our business, she lets me know the details. They are always great things and I just follow along. I've shared some very useful information with her also. Some of the sponsors I've had in the past was like having no sponsor at all.

The live training calls are so very beneficial to our businesses and it's all live participation; no muting and just listening. Everyone on the call actually goes to their computers and follows the instructions of the moderator, usually Clyde or Brad. It's actually hands-on training in that you can ask questions right there while you are doing it. In fact, if you don't understand, you can ask the same question 10 times if you want and it will be re-explained 10 times or until everyone gets it.

Don't let me scare anyone into thinking that it's complicated or anything. It really isn't, but if you haven't done some of these things before, you might have questions the first few times. Then everything becomes very familiar and easy.

Continuing Education on 997 MakeMoneyNow-Purple Cowboys

copyright: Deborah Bowman


It has been a rather exciting week with the Purple Cowboys! I've been with this program 2 and 1/2 weeks. It is so much fun and the live training calls have been very informative and helpful. The 3 founders are a God-send. You can speak with them at any time. After starting to apply the marketing techniques in the program, my second week I sponsored 2 people. Then I participated in the advertising co-op and sponsored 3 more people this past week. Through the advertising co-op I also received about 17-20 targeted leads. Everytime I get into a new lesson, I get more and more excited to apply the information. After I complete the program, I probably will choose 3 or 4 of the marketing techniques to concentrate on in my business. It is great to know everything though, because you can never do too much advertising and marketing. If people don't know about your business, you won't sell anything, no matter how great your product or service is.

Technorati-A Great Place to Publicize Your Blog

I just came from the Technorati website. If you are looking for some great places to link to your blog and get your name out there, this is one of the places. I know there are many more places to place your link. I'm going to research these before I put any posts about them. I will let everyone know which ones are good and which ones aren't so good. I'm looking for places where you can put your link for free. It's always nice to save money when you can.

THE PURPLE COWBOYS 997 MAKEMONEYNOW

copyright: Deborah Bowman

Today I have decided to come back permanently. I have not been posting regularly. Life has been very busy.

Since my last post I have discovered something that I think is very very good. I wish I had discovered this much earlier, as I would not have wasted so much money.

Don't get me wrong, the other businesses are not bad businesses nor are they scams, but this business is just so much easier on the pocket book and bank account. It allows for the average person, or someone who is low on money to make a very small investment for $9.97 to access a wealth of information on how to market an internet business successfully.

The Purple Cowboys have step-by-step training right from the internet and all three of them are available at all times to talk with you and help with whatever you need help with. There are also numerous training calls throughout the week.

The Purple Cowboys 997MakeMoneyNow have also put together a system whereby they have the 997MakeMoneyNow business as an "A" business. They have three "B" businesses which provide three sources of income coming in every month. Then they have a "C" business which I would call the heart of the system that in time will provide very very lucrative residual income. The kind of income that will take care of you for a lifetime. The "B" businesses will also do this, but they start very small and eventually have the potential of getting very large. The "B" businesses are also very very affordable for the average person, although, from the experiences I've had in the past, the "C" business is fractions less than what I am used too.

If a person wants to join the Purple Cowboys, all they have to do is pay $9.97 and they are in to access the entire system and training. If they decide they want to participate the way the entire system is set up with the "A", "B", and "C" businesses, that is their own decision. A person can utilize the system any way they desire. The marketing training can be used in any business, not just The Purple Cowboys. That is part of the beauty of it.

When I go into it, I was skeptical. I didn't want to waste any more money. But I thought, for $9.97? I've lost more than that in the past. So I paid my $9.97 and when I started the checklist and saw how it was set up, I "got it" immediately. I definitely see how the entire system, when used properly will build amazing income.

This is definitely not a get rich quick scheme. You have to work at it everyday and apply what the Purple Cowboys teach, or it won't work. Let's face it, you have to work to get what you want in life,but this way gives all of us freedom. This program is a people program, not a "let's get everyone we know in our deal" program. This is a program that develops relationships, not numbers.

I have been having a good time with the training and learning and applying. Three people have joined me in the two weeks I have been with the Purple Cowboys. I really am loving it.

If you have been wondering what home business you may want to check out. I would highly recommend 997 MakeMoneyNow, The Purple Cowboys. For $9.97, it is completely worth it, no risk and if nothing else, you will access a fantastic education in marketing. Most businesses fail not because they don't have a great product. You can have the most awesome product on the market, but if you don't know how to market, you won't have a business to market that fantastic product!

I'll keep posting on my progress. I really am enjoying it!

3 Ways To Stay Motivated When You Own Your Own Home-Based Business

copywright: Deborah Bowman

It is easy to slowly become unmotivated when you own a home-based business of your own.

As the newness and excitement of having your own home-based business wears off, do you find that the day to day activities set in and things become repetitive, even monotonous at times? Do you find yourself getting a little too used to the comfort of not having to rise at 5:00 or 6:00 am, then rush out of the house to face a morning nightmare in traffic? Do you find yourself sleeping “just a little longer” each day? Are you finding that any little distraction sets you off track and at the end of the day, you wonder why you didn’t accomplish what you had intended or that your to-do list grows longer each day, while your list of completed items is shrinking? You wonder why your motivation is dying a slow painful death?

The first thing you should do is find a nice quiet place where you can sit down with a notebook and pen and re-evaluate. Why did you want your own home-based business in the first place? Was it because you wanted more time with your family and children? Were you tired of spending more time fighting traffic each day than you had to do anything else? Did you want to be your own boss? Were you tired of others telling you what your time was worth and how much you would get paid? What about the overtime? These are just some reasons, and there are probably dozens more.

Once you remember your original reasons or your whys that you started your business, write all of them down.

The second step you want to take is thinking of all of the short-term and long-term goals you have, but instead of thinking of short-term first, begin with the end in mind. Imagine your business up and running and success is in the palm of your hand. You are financially free at last and you can finally do what you want whenever you want. Start running your business today as if you were going to sell it tomorrow. What do you see as the end result?

After you’ve written down your goals, you might want to design a dream board or a goal board and keep it in a place where you can see it as soon as you rise in the morning and before you go to sleep at night. Or, you might want to design some small goal cards and place them where you spend time during the course of your day and in your pocket, purse or wallet.

The third thing you want to do is ask yourself the following questions: What is your intention? What do you and your family deserve out of life? What do you want for yourself? What do you want now? What do you want for your future? What was your intention in the beginning? Has it changed? Write down all of your answers.

After you’ve gotten clear on everything and have everything written on paper, put it away until the next day. Let it sink in for a while.

The next morning, take it out and look at it again. Make revisions if necessary. Go through this process everyday. Make this an important part of your day. As time goes on, make necessary changes and keep updating. This will keep you motivated. Don’t let it get away from you! Stay focused and, above all, don’t forget your original motivation. Don’t ever lose sight of your whys!
