What are the key focuses of the Second Income Coach System


Second Income Coach is not just a system for network marketers. It is a system that centers on teaching anyone anything they would like to know about marketing on the internet, regardless of what you are marketing! Here are a few things that I think are most valuable about within the Second Income coach system.

List Building – Second Income Coach doesn’t just teach you HOW to build your list as far as just the things you need to do to make that happen, you will learn how to build a relationship with that list. It is far more important to have a list that you have built a rapport with that list then that you just have a list. Many marketers get discouraged when they first begin to build their list because they are worried about the numbers. They just want to grab as many emails as possible when the truth is that is it far more valuable to have a list of 250 opt in subscribers who you are building a relationship with than 1200 subscribers that you are simply sending ads and sales copy to. Your relationship with your list is what is important. Second Income Coach will focus on teaching you ways to build that relationship with your prospects.

One On One Mentoring – Second Income Coach offers leadership from many different network marketing leaders in the industry. Each of them having their own area of expertise. There are leaders who focus on social networking, search engine marketing, search engine optimization, list building and building relationships on the internet. With live weekly training and Skype groups in place support is something that is never far away. Especially as an upgraded member, the Gold mastermind Skype group is the place to come go if you want a group to bounce ideas off of or work together with. Instead of being competitors it is a group of allies in the industry who work together to help all of the members in Second Income Coach.

Funded Sponsoring – This is by far one of the most important of a strategies that every internet marketer must learn to be successful long term online. Using a funded proposal. Understanding this philosophy can make a huge difference in your long term success just as building your list while building relationships. Second Income Coach is a great funded proposal for a couple of reasons.

1st – It is important when using a funded proposal that you consider what type of product or program that you will offer to your subscribers. You want to use this funded proposal for a couple of things. To generate front end income, income you can use to fund your advertising and run your business so that the income you generate from your primary business is pure profit.

2nd – To qualify your prospects. What do I mean by qualify your prospects? There are going to be many prospects who come through your website. They are just looking for information and aren’t really serious. By offering a front end product or system for a small fee you are sure those prospects are a little more serious. I have found also that a system like Second Income Coach is one of the best funded proposals to use. It centers around learning how to market online. There is no better prospects for you than someone who wants to learn.

Need Press Release Writing Tips?

Need Press Release Writing Tips?





Here are some press release writing tips to make the process simple and easy. Writing press releases is such a simple way to get traffic to your website and keep them coming back.

I thought I would put together some simple press release writing tips for everyone. Press releases are a so simple to write and such an easy way to get traffic to your website pretty quickly for free. They do involve doing a little writing but don't worry, you do not have to be an award winning writer to make this strategy work. What's even better is they don't cost you a thing!
Effective press release writing is not that hard to learn. They are a great way to get traffic to your website and keep it coming forever. Take these press release writing tips and start implementing them and this will be a tool you can keep in your arsenal for years to come. Understanding what makes an effective press release can take some time but here are a few simple press release writing tips that will make pretty simple and easy.

So what is a press release?

The first of all the press release writing tips we should go over is how to write a press release. You should approach writing it as if you are writing a testimonial of some sort. A press release is not an article. Articles are a little more in depth and a little longer in length. Keeping your press release short and to the point is very important. You want your prospect to click on the link you have put in your press release. You want the prospect to want to learn more about what you are writing about. Use this tool to share real results. Readers care more about a real review from a fellow marketer much more than a professional review. Just simply share your story.

What should I write my press release about?

What you write about is completely up to you. Here are a few ideas that might spark your creativity and get you off the ground and running.
A product, service or system you are using that you are having positive results with. What does your product of system have to offer? Is there training involved? If so explain what can be learned.

A mentor you may have partnered with.

What have you learned from them? What do they specialize in and how can they help your prospect?

A new product release that you will be using.

Do you have an exciting product that is going to be released? Or a system that is coming out? A press release would be a great way to announce it and jump start your traffic.

What are the most important press release writing tips?

Of all the effective press release writing tips I could share this has to be the most important! Always Use Target keywords!!! I can not stress this enough. Target the right keywords based on your target audience is. Who do you want to read your writing? Target terms those prospects would be searching for on the internet. Of all of the press release writing tips this is my #1 tip for writing an effective press release. You want your press release to be seen. When writing your press release it should include your keyword(s) in the title and3-4 times in the body of your press release (without it sounding strange).

How can you take these press release writing tips and put them into action?

Once you have written your press release you can distribute it to free press release sites. I have listed several below and you can always just go to Google and type in Free Press Release Sites and you will find a lot of them. I recommend that you submit the press release to 3-4 of these sites. When submitting your press release to these sites there will be options to upgrade your press release. These sites will offer for you to pay a fee and your press release will be distributed faster. Do NOT ever pay for a press release. You don't need to. It will be posted fast enough using their free service. There is no reason to pay an extra fee.
Once your press release has been posted to the service you can do a few different things with it to get some faster traffic to it. You can take the link to the press release and share it on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Stumble Upon and Reddit . You can also post a copy of your press release on your blog and include the link to the press release at the bottom of the post. This will give you some more links to the press release.
If you take these press release writing tips and implement them correctly you can have your press release rank at the top of many Google searches pretty quickly. Press releases just like blogs are considered new news by search engines so they are ranked very high. Here are just a couple of examples of some press releases I have written this will give you an idea of how to structure your press release and how to use them to get traffic to your blog or website

New Years Resolutions...Be Effective This Year

Well it’s that time of year again. It’s time for everyone to start setting those New Year’s resolutions right? We all do it but how many of us keep those resolutions??? The truth is not many.

In an earlier post I spoke to you about the effect Tools To Life has had on my life. It’s effected my business and personal life in a way that I can’t even put into words. However, one of the most important things it has taught me is not only the importance of setting short term goals but how to get them accomplished. Most people approach their New Year’s resolution as one huge goal but they never take the time to write down the small steps that you need to take to get to that goal. Breaking your goal down may bring you the success you wanted for the year in a matter of MONTHS!

Watch This Video Below With Tools To Life Founder Devlyn Steele:




Setting goals can be a course all in itself and can get complicated since everyone works in a different way and everyone has a different personality. What works for me may not work for you. All that being said there are some fundamentals that can work for ANYONE and will work for EVERYONE.

These 10 steps that Devlyn shared with you will work for any goal you want to set whether it’s personal or business. If you truly want to see a change in your life in 2011 now is the time to take the steps to achieve it.

1. Learn A Success System

2. Keep It Simple

3. Reduce The Goal

4. Rule Of 20

5. Post It

6. Visualize

7. Act As If

8. Law Of Effort

9. Law Of Consistency

10. Repeat All These Steps Every 30 Days

Now let’s put these steps into action. Below is a copy of The Resolution Success System. It is a great 14 page book put together by Coach Devlyn Steele who started the Tools To Life program. Partner Tools To Life, The Resolution Success book and your effort and you can be anywhere you want to be in 2011!!


Sincerely,

Karen Pore

Tips For Work At Home Parents - Time Managment

Tips For Work At Home Parents


If you are a new work at home parent balancing work, kids and everything else can be a struggle. Here are some tips for work at home parents that might make the day go a little easier.




I have been working at home for some time and while there are great advantages to it there are also struggles that you go through from time to time. I thought when my kids were younger it will get so much easier as they get older. I can send them off to school and work away. That is not always the case for work at home parents. Now that I have sent them both off to school they seem to have more and more things that need to be done. My goal is spending great time with them, but sometimes that can be a struggle. Activities, homework and just regular items on my to do list around the house can seem intimidating at times. Then I add in the tasks I want to get done each day and sometimes they just don't get done. That's why it's so important to have a system. Here are a couple of tips that I have learned along the way to balance things out.

  • Keeping a daily checklist along with a notebook with special tasks for each day will not only keep your day organized but will help you to be sure that your most important tasks are complete.

  • Prioritize your checklist. What is most important?

  • Always write down 4-5 items right before bed or when your work day is coming to an end. That way if you are not focused when you start the next day you have your items right there to get you started. Then you are less likely to stray to messing around on the internet or checking emails you really don't need.

  • Track you list- Is something carrying over day after day on your list? If it is find out why..is it really that important? Do you need to do it? Or are you intimidated by the task? Figure out the problem and either get it done or remove it from the list.


These are just a few small tips and while not everyone is a work at home parent everyone that is running a home business has their own set of items that can take away from their tasks for the day and get them off track. Find out what you can get rid of in your day that just isn't necessary. For myself the most important goal is definitely getting my tasks accomplished each day but more importantly spending quality time with my kids. That's why we do this right?

If you have a home business and you are not using a system it is a must! Everyone builds their home business in their own way using their own methods. It's important to have an online community who supports you. If you do not have a system or have not found a system that is right for you visit http://www.Second-Income-Coach.com

GVO Conference Video Web Conference Solutions

GVO Conference Offers Web Conference Solutions



GVO Conference Offers Web Conference Solutions


GVO Conference now offers web based video conferencing for any price point. Web conference solutions no longer have to cost a fortune.


GVO Conference began an international prelaunch this month of a web based video conferencing system. It opened it's doors with rave reviews and huge membership numbers. GVO Conference may be in prelaunch but it's no start up! Joel Theiren, the owner/operator of the very successful GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities). He has offered web conference solutions for years but now is launching a separate product that has been years in the making on a much larger scale.

Here is a little background about Joel Theiren and GVO.

In 2004 Joel Launched an AMAZING VoIP web conference solution called Hotconference. In just 3 months the product has over 7 million.. YES seven million end users and downloads..

It grew so fast, that he grew himself and his data center in Canada literally almost out of business..

It was launched in January 2004

By April 2004 it had 7 million end users! By May it had grown so big that the company that provided fibre optics to his data center told him there was no fibre left in the city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW

Fast forward to 2010..

Joel relocated his family and staff from Ottawa, Canada to San Antonio, Texas.. (where fibre optics and bandwidth is truly UNLIMITED) Just so that he could re launch this amazing product and opportunity. He spent millions setting up a brand new data center in San Antonio Texas, and now 7 years later.. he is re launching a TOTALLY amazing opportunity and product..

There are many web conference solutions on the internet today. Some of the most popular GoToMeeting and WebEx. While these products may do the job, they cost at least 3 times what GVO Conference does while offering you no additional features.

Every GVO Conference room features:
  • 50 Seats

  • Full Video

  • Desktop Sharing

  • File Sharing

  • Power Point

  • Live Show

  • Browser

  • Whiteboard

  • Recording

  • All this for just $8.97 per month.

  • Why can GVO Conference offer the same web based video conferencing as their competitors at a fraction of the price? It's a very simple answer.. they are a 12 year old company that owns their data center..owns routers owns servers..there is no middle man.

    Think about this for a moment. Just a few years ago a domain name used to cost around $100. Out of the blue came a company called Go Daddy. They charged around $10 for a domain name. Now.. Go Daddy is huge and there is not a company out there that should be charging you $100 for a domain name. Imagine if you owned your own Go Daddy business. Offering a service that is above and beyond the competition for not just half the price...for next to nothing! You will not find such unique features at such a low price point. This web conferencing solution is so simple and easy to use all it requires is simply an internet connection.

    Web based video conferencing does not have to be complicated or expensive. GVO Conference is also structured with the network marketer and internet marker in mind with a great compensation plan. It offers great commissions on multiple levels so it's easy for anyone to generate the commission for their fee in the first month with such a low price point.

    Timing is everything in network marketing and the same is true with GVO Conference. Web based video conferencing is in such high demand as most business owners continue to make the switch from offline marketing to online marketing. The need for that personal touch is still there. You can add an additional personal touch with your prospects by having a web conference solution.

    Using Banner Ads

    While banner advertising is not something I use 100% if the time to build my list it is a tool that you should always have handy if the right place comes around to plug them in. They are great for use on your blogs and web pages, but sometimes there are programs that come around that it's nice to have your own banner ad to plug in.

    This is something that really is essential to online success. Using banner ads may not be the first thing you teach someone on your team but it is definitely something you will want to have in your arsenal. There are some desktop banner creators you can get that are not that expensive. I got mine for less than $50. If you are not ready to take that leap with banner advertising there are some great places online to create banner ads yourself for free. My favorite place for that is http://www.bannerbreak.com To show you how simple it is to do here are some examples of three that I have made within about 20 min...so it's not that hard.

    5 of Mark Yarnell's Success Secrets

    1. Turn off your TV, computer, cell phone and text messaging and spend 2 hours a day talking to real people, either in person or through a land line.

    2. Make a five-year commitment to your company and never look at any other deal. Consider all other Networking opportunities a waste of your time at this point.

    3. Begin reading one non-fiction bestseller each month in any field of your own personal interest.

    4. Get out of all meaningless business relationships with those who drag you down with negativity or sociopathic behavior.

    5. Do not attend any more rah! rah! meetings IF you're 100% convinced that they are a waste of your time and money. Spend your time recruiting and retailing.

    Review Of The New Plug Into Prospects System

    The Plug Into Prospects system entered pre-launch phase June 14, 2010. With the launch coming in 3 days. The Plug Into Prospects system is an online prospecting system that is perfect for any home based business owner. It is a generic system so it can be used for any home business opportunity and is a great funded proposal focused around generating prospects for your primary business.

    Plug Into Prospects offers quite a few perks. I'll start with the focus most marketers want to know about. Compensation. The system offers a well rounded plan. The income you generate does depend on your membership level though. Free members do not have the ability to generate the income that paid members do. There are three ways to get paid.


    1. 2 X 12 Forced Matrix (no sponsoring required to get paid)
    2. Platinum Leaders Bonus Pool
    3. $4 For Each Personally Sponsored Member

    There are other perks to the system as well. Plug Into Prospects offers the ability for you to earn what are called Adpoints within the system. Both free and paid members can use these points to advertise your own business within the system. You can receive these points for logging into the system, viewing and/or participating in advertisements within the system and referring new members. This is a great option to advertise your own business or opportunity.

    There are a couple of things about Plug Into Prospects that make it easier for leaders to use. My favorite is something you rarely find in a funded proposal system. The ability to plug your own auto responder code into your capture pages AND your own video, audio or picture. Whatever you currently use for your capture pages. This really allows you to continue to build your list and brand yourself online while partnering with a system. You can use up to 6 capture pages as well.

    There are some functions in the system already working. The adcredit functions are coming in each day. However, there are some functions that are now available until the system launches such as the capture page features. In the meantime you may want to use your own splash page to promote it as you should do with any system. Never stop list building! All in all it looks like a great system that focuses on prospect generation which is what any online marketer focuses on. It gives you the ability to learn and earn with one on one training.

    How To Use Safelist Marketing Effectively

    If you're a marketer with a budget using safelist marketing is among the best free techniques to start with. If you are not familiar with safelist advertising it can be pretty simple. A safelist is a system that members sign up for either at no cost or sometimes an upgraded membership to send emails to other members about your opportunity. Sound confusing? Let me break it down a little bit.

    To utilize safelist marketing you, the marketer must go and join. You do that so you can market your services or products to other members. In return these marketers do the same to you. Some might think it is not a terrific audience since basically they are all trying to sell one another on something. Here's where it's essential to think. You NEVER market your primary business inside a safelist...honestly never ever. You should attract members to your primary business by building a relationship with them. You have to remember no one wants to be sold! That is the abolute bottom line! Never forget that. A safelist is an excellent place to locate other marketers or people who have the same interests as yourself. They could find some of the tools, training and/or systems which you use effective for their businesses. You must go into safelist marketing with that in mind. You may utilize safelist marketing for a few of things. You are able to market your front end products for example a funded proposal that you're using or even offer a give away for visiting your blog and placing a comment on a one of your recent posts.

    When you are doing any type of marketing online including safelist marketing you need to know who your audience is. Using a safelist your audience will be so many people similar to you. They're marketing their business or service. You want to market something designed to benefit that target audience. Get creative and you'll see some amazing results. Does it make a bit more sense now?

    If you try to build your own list for the first time, a safelist is a fantastic way to start. Offering free marketing tips to members is an effective way to get them in your opt in list. You then build a relationship with those members and in time you will be able to market within that list and will probably be successful at it. Do not expect to go into a safelist though and produce massive profits right away. You need to know to be aware of who you are marketing to though and utilize it successfully.

    Safelist advertising is usually useful particularly because it's free of charge. This can make it great for brand new marketers who do not have a marketing budget yet. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that since it is a no cost service for you to use safelist marketing can often be incredibly time consuming. To gain credits to mail other members in the safelist you may receive many emails. You might want to set aside so much time whether daily or weekly to open those emails to receive credits. You want to make sure you limit your time though. Some will say otherwise but I don't believe safelist marketing can replace all other types of marketing. Set aside a couple of hours weekly so that you can click for credits then go on to do other forms of advertising. Don't get caught up in clicking emails all day.

    If you want to begin using safelist marketing listed here are some of my favorite picks:

    In case you do not have a funded proposal to utilize for your primary business or need a front end product to try in your marketing you can visit my website and learn a little more details about the system I am using now in my safelist marketing.

    Work-At-Home Parents, Why Not You?

    Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?

    Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?
    Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?
    Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?
    Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?
    Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?
    Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?
    Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?
    Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?
    Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?
    Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?
    Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?
    Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?
    Today is a new day!
    Many will seize this day.
    Many will live it to the fullest.

    Setting Up Your Own Domain Name

    We are going to shift 100% of our focus on steps you must take to set up your own online prescience and brand yourself as an expert online. If you have done some of these steps already then you can skip ahead. Please do not skip any of these steps. There is not one more important than the other so it's very important you complete all 6 steps. One will not work without the other.

    The first step is to set up your own domain name. You may already have several domain names but it is important that you have a domain containing your own name. If you have a common name you may need to tweak it a bit because that domain may already be taken.

    Here is an example. I have:
    http://www.KarenPore.com

    If you have a common name here are some alternatives.
    www.WhoIsYourName.com
    www.YourNameOnline.com
    www.LearnWithYourName.com

    It's just important that your name be in the domain. This will be the first step in creating your own online presence. When someone types your name into Google to find out who you are it's very likely if done correctly this domain is what will pop up first. It's ok to use other domain names for systems that you may be using but having your own domain name including your name will help personalize what you prospect will see. If you have never purchased or set up a domain before it's very low cost. Usually it's about $11 max. I use Go Daddy or Pow Web myself but you can purchase the domain name wherever it's most convenient for you.

    If you have never set up your own domain name here is a video to help guide you through the process.

    If you have trouble viewing the video you can watch it directly here

    The Internet Marketing Mom's Free Offer






    I wanted to say hi to you personally and welcome you to my online marketing secrets course.

    You can visit http://www.KarenPore.com to get started today!

    Become A Network Marketing Sponsoring Expert

    Why does one person sponsor hundreds or thousands of people while another person just sponsors a few?


    It's the question every single one of us tackle in our careers. For myself becoming an Internet marketing mom did not happen over night. It took years of understanding the ins and outs of the industry. When I first started online I tried everything I could to give myself the edge I saw so many others have. How was one person a network marketing sponsoring expert while another could barely tread water? After all they had the same products, possibly the same system what made one person different than the other?

    In December of 2007 after fumbling for quite a while in my business and really just treading water myself I had a little bit of a revelation. It was a week night really no different than many others. My kids were tucked away in bed and I was listening to a mentor on a marketing training webinar. I was listening to training on something I already knew how to do and really was just getting irritated. I had put so much time into my business, done everything my sponsor had told me to do and yet I was no where near where they were. What was I doing wrong?

    All at once it really hit me and the concept just built from there. I was doing what I thought were the same things my mentors were doing, but yet I was no network marketing sponsoring expert by any means!

    I started thinking, there are hundreds of people sitting here listening to this guy teach something I have been taught probably 10 times. What am I doing wrong? The answer...I wasn't thinking like him. He knew he was the expert. Yes, he may have known a little more than I did with his years of experience but I had a pretty good idea what I was doing already. The difference was the way he treated his prospects. After all, at one time I was probably one of his prospects. If you look at the fact that I was on that webinar I still was. What was he doing that lead me to be on that call every week?

    He was building relationships. The internet is such an impersonal world. Many of us actually like it that way. I have no interest in having home parties or trying to recruit my friends and family into my business. I didn't even have any interest in calling everyone who visited my website. I liked the impersonal approach I was using. My prospects were making decisions off of facts, what they saw and the information I sent them. By me not having to get on the phone with them or "sell" them my business made for a pretty successful business. My prospects could see how easy it was for them to be doing the same thing. They didn't need to be an expert to be successful. They could plug right in and do the same thing I did. What I was lacking though was building a relationship with someone before I even sponsored them.

    In the following months I continued to watch what my mentors were doing. The things no one wants to teach you because it gives them the edge. They want to tell you just what they need to tell you to make a little bit of money and have you continue to follow them. They aren't going to give away all their secrets!! Most of us don't take the time to watch what they actually do. We just follow what they say. It became very clear to me the answer to that question. Why does one person sponsor hundreds of people while another just a few? The network marketing sponsoring expert is branding themselves. They are building relationships with their prospects. They are approaching their business with a totally different marketing plan than I was. Their focus wasn't their product, their service or anything of the sort it was themselves.

    Creating YOU INC. is essential for your success. Developing relationships in such an impersonal world will create the backbone to skyrocket your business. Whether your prospects realize it or not they trust more when they see a person. With continued follow up they trust more and more that you are a real person. That you care about them.

    To be successful your prospect must feel they know, like and trust you.

    That is the key. Branding you. Developing that relationship. That is what is going to make you a network marketing sponsoring expert. I am going to take you step by step through what is essential for that to happen in your life. If you have doubts in yourself stop now. You are an expert at something. I will help you find out what that is.

    Welcome To My Official Blog - The Internet Marketing Mom

    Hello everyone!

    Welcome to my official blog.

    "The Stories Of An Internet Marketing Mom"

    In this blog I will cover everything you could possibly need to know to be successful online. It doesn't matter if you are a newbie or have been in the network marketing industry for some time there is something to be learned for everyone. I am here to teach it to you!

    I have spent several years building a network marketing business strictly on the internet. Like so many other parents out there I struggled for years trying to do what was best for my kids. I wanted something more for them than my parents were able to offer. It's a goal for all of us but none of us necessarily know the best way to go about it.

    In 2005 my husband was killed and I became a 28 year old widow. Overnight my priorities changed completely! I had two small children and they needed to come first even more than they did before. We live in the real world though..and that costs money so not having any income coming in was not exactly an option.

    I spent most of my time searching at night when they went to bed for the best path to take for them. I had to figure things out and I had to do it fast! There was no room for a 5 year learning curve. Once I made the best decision for me and I picked a primary business I needed to figure out how I was going to make money with that business and do it on my own terms. For me the only option I had was the internet. My kids needed me and still do and I needed to be there for them. I didn't have time to run around doing home parties or even chit chatting with friends and family about my business. My priorities had changed pretty quickly.

    I jumped right in without a life jacket! Since that time I have had success with my business and love the decision that I made I wouldn't change it for the world. To get to that success though..well that's a whole different story. When I started my quest for a home based business I honestly knew how to check my email. Yes that was the extent of my internet marketing training. I would have never guessed that within a year I would give myself the title "The Internet Marketing Mom".

    In this blog I am going to promise you one thing. I will tell you what you need to hear, it's not always going to be what you want to hear. I will not recommend anything to you that has not brought success to me. There were plenty of systems, strategies and people that I followed with little to no success.. all I managed to get was a lot of debt. I will help you avoid those same pitfalls I fell into and direct you to where you need to be.

    Your road to success will not be an easy one. It's not going to come to you overnight and if someone promises that it will run as far away as you can from them!
