The owner Paul Birdsall marketed the program during pre-launch as a $9.95 program for 10,000 double opt-in prospects and double your money back if you are not satisfied. On the day of launch the $9.95 was only good for 3 days and then you were billed $39.95 per month. Instead of getting 10,000 leads your website was put in a rotator with 25 other websites so you actually only got 400 leads, which is not necessarily a bad deal but it wasn’t marketed like that and this is what makes me frown on this program. Also on their website if you read the terms of service it states there are no refunds offered of any kind. I just don’t believe in this kind of marketing. This is simply a quick money grab for Mr. Birdsall and I hope no one takes him up on his offer. Some unfavorable things have been said about Paul Birdsall all around the internet and unfortunately I have to say I would not recommend any of his programs, because he doesn’t seem to operate in integrity.

What if there was a way to try to help with that process and at the same time get your message instantly to 10,000 targeted prospects every single month?  Would that be worth investigating?  Well that is the tip of the iceberg to what the streamline funnel system can do for you and your business.

1.  Find a business you can be passionate about
2.  Create an automated system of generating leads
3.  Create an automated system of following up with your leads
4.  Learn how to build your web presence online

Let’s quickly dig a little deeper.

1.  Find a business you can be passionate about

This is the biggest mistake most people make, they choose a business that has great income potential but that they have no passion for.  The truth is there are lots of businesses that have great income potential. Find one that lines up with your interests and the things you love.  Remember if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life.

2.  Create an automated system of generating leads

The beauty of the internet is that it allows your business to run 24/7 and potentially all over the world.  So you never have to close up shop and you can be acquiring new prospects literally around the clock.  You must have an automated system that you can turn on and let it run for you, so you can capture new prospects.

3.  Create an automated system of following up with your leads

Another great thing about an online business is you can follow up with your prospects and it doesn’t have to cost you very much money.  In fact once you have captured someone’s email address you can follow up with them until they tell you to stop and all you need to accomplish that is an autoresponder.

4.  Learn how to build your web presence online

The most important investment you will ever make in your business is learning how to build your web presence.  This is another area most people want to skip but this is critical to your long term success online.  It doesn’t matter how great your idea or business is if no one can find you anywhere online.  Most online marketers are looking for short cuts and are usually getting little to no results.  Just by learning 1 or 2 proven methods you will be way ahead of most marketers online, so don’t skip this part.

I will leave you with a resource that I believe can accelerate your business and put you on the right track to long term success.

First you need to make sure that your business matches your passion. I have long been a believer that before you can be successful in any endeavor, you must first have a passion for whatever endeavor you are involved in.

The first mistake people often make when choosing a company or opportunity is they are drawn in by the amount of money they can make. Though it is true that money can be a great source of motivation that alone is not enough to carry you through the rough spots in your business. Besides if all you wanted to do was earn money you could stay at your job and do that. Most people want to enjoy what they do as well. There is a quote that says “if you enjoy what you do you will never work a day in your life.” This has to be true of your business venture or it will never become successful.

The second way to develop a prosperous home based business is to have a system in place for your marketing. Many people have passion for their products and opportunity but have no consistent system for how to market it. If you are involved in network marketing online then your system should be able to market your business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As you know in network marketing the key is duplication. Your system should be simple and should include all types of marketing strategies, both free and paid. By the way it is possible your company may not have this system in place for you, so you may have to go outside of your company to find the right system to help build your business.

The third way is to become great at lead generation or list building. Here is a fact! You cannot have a prosperous home based business if you do not know how to generate leads. Leads will turn into customers for your products, members in your downline and relationships you can develop over time. There will always be a percentage of people who when exposed to your business will join it or use your products or services. You need to become great at finding those people and turning them into leads.

So if you want to have a prosperous home based business remember these 3 things:

1- Find a business you’re passionate about

2- Find the right system to market your business

3- Become great at lead generation

First let’s answer this question, does ContentFX actually generate a new article in under 3 seconds the answer is yes. So it does work. What it does is take articles that they or another writer has written and it creates variations on those articles. They will send you various new topics each month and you can access there list of already existing topics. This is one of the limitations of the software. You are limited to the topics they have available.

Some other issues with ContentFX are the articles may not fit you as a article writer. Everyone has a very unique style that they write in and this software does not take that into consideration. So the articles even though they are generally well written, they do not sound like you. Also if you are marketing to sites like ezine articles chances are you are going to have to rewrite the articles in order to avoid being slammed for duplicate content. Now even though there is a rewrite feature in the membership I found it’s not very simple to use.

Overall in my opinion if you want to be a serious article marketer then I would not use ContentFX. Even though you can get an article very quickly, and some of the other features are nice, which I didn’t mention here, I don’t believe it’s worth the investment. Remember the key online is unique content and the best place to get that is right out of your brain. Though it may take a little bit of extra time to use your head I think the rewards are far worth it.

I don’t know if you have heard of IDA Leaders, but I stumbled across it
about 1 month ago. Now I am not going to hype you up and tell you this
is the greatest company in the world or any of that lingo you hear so
often online. However I will tell you IDA Leaders offers one thing I
have never seen offered in any network marketing opportunity. The
ability to earn an annual $200,000 annuity for life.

Why is this important? Well IDA Leaders offers you the one thing most
network marketing companies don’t, the opportunity to build your
business, walk away and still get paid without having to recruit
another person, sell another product or do anything at all.

Most opportunities online, the minute you stop working your income
stops working. Now you have a way to build it for 3-5 years and not
have to worry about it for the rest of your life. IDA Leaders is the
only company online offering you the opportunity to do this.

If you have looked online lately you will notice there are ads everywhere promoting the next great company, pre-launches, this is the greatest network marketing opportunity ever. On and on it goes. If you listen long enough they will all start to sound the same. The the truth is, most of these companies are here today and gone tomorrow. This is how I learned lesson number one, promote yourself not your company. People online are looking for opportunities, but what they’re really looking for are mentors. The most successful people online are the people who can show and teach others how to become successful. In other words, you are your most powerful product or service. Focus on getting the skills you need and teaching others and no matter what company are in you will always be successful.

The second greatest lesson I learned is to focus on building your list. Your list is the only predictable factor of long term network marketing income. There really is no other predictable factor. When it comes to prospecting, all of your marketing efforts should be targeted towards one specific goal and that is to build your list. Most of the highly successful online network marketers make just as much income from their list as they do from their network marketing business.

The third lesson I learned is to lead with the products and not the opportunity. The key to success in any business is having enough customers buying your products to sustain yourself in business. No company ever goes out of business because they have too many customers, and this is true in the network marketing industry as well. People in your downline will come and go, but a foundation of loyal customers who love your products and services is an invaluable thing for your business.

The final lesson I learned is to become a professional marketer. Always remember you are you network marketing professional, and not a network marketing rep. What’s the difference? Professionals focus on improving their skills, learning from other people and becoming great at what they do. It becomes a life long pursuit and not a get rich quick scheme. A reps success is usually tied to one particular company, a professionals success is tied to the whole industry. So whether the company stays or goes the professional survives, while the rep fades away.

Here are two reasons why this is true:

1. Your downline is under attack.– Let’s face it every day especially online I get emails telling me about the next great mlm company. Every company is greater than the next and every company is the next big thing. This puts a strain on the loyalty of your downline and can put a dent in your network marketing income. Loyalty in your downline, without any outside attacks, may be suspect at best, especially if they aren’t seeing a profit. You should be prepared because even if some of your group are seeing a profit some of these offers will seem irresistible and there will be downline casualties.

2. Your company may go out of business– Yes you read that correctly. There is a graveyard full of tombstones of once prosperous, now dead network marketing companies, may they rest in peace. When they shovel the dirt on your company they are also shoveling dirt on your network marketing income. So even if you had 100,000 people in your downline, will it matter if your company goes out of business?

SO then, what is the one true indicator I can trust for long term success?

The only indicator you can trust is how many leads are you generating per day. In other words how many people am I adding to my list every day. This is the number one thing you need to be doing in your business and it is the only thing that will guarantee your business will last. I’m sure you have heard this term before:

“The money is in the list”

When it comes to marketing online the only thing you really own are your domain name and your list. If you build it right and maintain a relationship with your list your list will become the most predictable factor of your network marketing income.

1.- You need to look at the market. Do people even want to buy this stuff? Before you give me the company line and say everybody wants these things look at the market place and see for yourself. Remember every company says their network marketing products are the best in the world.

2. – You need to look at the price point – Once you establish that there is a market the question needs to be asked, are people willing to pay what your company is charging for these products? Sometimes network marketing products and services can be more expensive than similar products in the store. A simple note to remember is if people can find a similar product, less expensive than yours, they will often buy it.

3. – The last question to ask is would you use this product if there was no compensation attached to it. Many times you will find the only people using the products and services of a company are the reps in the company. Many are doing it to qualify for there commissions. If that is you and most of the people in the company then run because that product will not last.
