Let's do a bit of a departure today from the standard blog fare, and just talk about something that's been on my mind. December is a very busy month for many reasons. Some of us with Offline Careers as well may have a busier than normal offline schedule due to the nature of our industry. Not to mention, all the parties and activities going on for ourselves and our families, plus the always crazy shopping/gift giving adventures.
With the above being said, plan your internet business time carefully. You can't shut your business down, the momentum and progress must always move forward. So how do you get it all done you ask? Here are some internet workload balancing tips:
– Perhaps get up a bit earlier before you go to work. Same goes for staying up a bit later than normal. Watch doing both, or you may be burning the candle at both ends.
– Pare down your focuses. Now is not the time to be adding new business, stick with your primary and your list building system that brings prospects to it.
– Cut out time from other activities like Watching TV for example. Do you really want to succeed in your business? Are you willing to make the necessary sacrifices?
– Make a To-Do list and follow a strict schedule. My good friend Janet Legere can help you with this via her Contact List Builder Program. You can find it in the TrafficLeads2Income Downline Builder. The two programs complement each other well.
I hope you found these tips helpful, here is one more. The 10 Steps to Success called TrafficLeads2Income will help you greatly. There is one more step…….
Step 11 is for upgraded members only, so here are great reasons to consider an upgrade:
1) 50% Commissions
2) Customization of your downline builder
3) Build unlimited Lead Capture Pages in Step 11 (and edit them)
4) The ability to edit your Thankyou Page
Click Upgrade at the top in your TL2I backoffice, and take advantage of these great benefits!!!
(Also note than on the Home Page you get the current level you are on, and the benefits of the next level above you.)
Join us Sunday night at 9:30PM est for our Sunday Conference. You can access the room from our room from the RobsNetworkers Support Page:
Several days ago, Joseph Riley from Forever Concepts passed away after an extended illness, he was following the 10naturalhomeremedies but even it helped it was really late for him. I want to share a few stories about Joseph and then talk about one of his passions………..
I met Joseph through Robert Puddy in November of 2009. Robert was helping Joseph launch his Forever Concepts Traffic Exchange, and asked me if I’d like to be a launch partner. I was in the beginning phases of developing TrafficLeads2Income, but was intrigued by Josephs concept, including his charitable endeavor Kiva. More on that later……..When I met Joseph on Skype, we chatted a bit and I knew immediately this was a great person. I put as much effort as I could into Foreverconcepts, and he returned the favor when I launched TrafficLeads2Income on in January of the following year. One time I called him Joe, and he shot back, please, call me Joseph not Joe! We laughed about that, because I would still forget every now and again. I will not forget anymore……..lets always remember to “Good Man” of the TrafficExchange world………..
Below is a repost of an article I wrote about Kiva awhile back. Joseph introduced me to Kiva and it was a big part of his program. Thanks to Joseph and the FC Kiva Team (which I am a part of, and you can be too) :
ForeverConcepts – Micro-finance Team Challenge – Impact To date:- 174 Team Members helped create 573 new loans for entrepreneurs $14,400 total
That’s a pretty staggering amount……let’s continue Josephs work!!!!!!!
KIVA
Back when TrafficLeads2Income Launched
in January I was introduced to Kiva
by the owner of ForeverConcepts Joseph
Riley. I loaned $25 to the following
individual:
Well, I am happy to report that Nov
got his Motorcycle and I was repaid
as well. You see, this is what Kiva
does. It provides assistance to
Foreign Entrepreneurs in the form
of loans that are repaid. So when you
donante to Kiva you are actually loaning
them the money. When the loan is
repaid you can cash out and be done.
You know what, I’m ready for Round 2
and this time I’m telling 3000 of my
best friends. Here is the new case
file:
Doep Dorn is 43 years old and married
with five school-aged children. She is
currently a recycling seller – she buys
used goods to sell to a wholesaler, who
then sells them in bulk to other
countries. The used goods she buys and
deals in are mostly leftover electrical
wires and plastic. Her husband works as
a requirement laborer, hired by people
to carry their merchandise. Doep Dorn
is looking for a loan to buy a new
motorcycle in order to make her family
transportation easier.
I am happy to report again that Deop not only has the motorcycle but the loan is 100% repaid.
The Mujeres al Desarrollo (“Women Development”) Community Bank is found located in the Canaria community, in the district of the same name. It’s beginning its sixth cycle with 13 member, who have diverse businesses. Luisa is a member of the community bank, is married and has two daughters who are 24 and 26 years old and study at universities in the capital. While her family is based in Lima, Luisa has been dedicated to selling food for various years in Canaria so she can accompany her father who is elderly and refuses to travel. Luisa hates to be separated from her family and misses them constantly. She fights to get ahead and feels supported by the loans that she obtains through Finca Peru. Luisa is requesting a loan to buy groceries for her food business. Luisa’s dream is that her daughters become professionals.
You’ll be joining the Forever Concepts Team and continuing the work of Joseph Riley and working with other great lenders too!

AffiliateToolBox has been added to the TrafficLeads2Income Downline Builder. Go there now and join, but first make sure your sponsor has done so first. When you click on Join at ATB, note at the bottom of the signup page the name of your referrer. This will give you the verification you'll need. While in the DLB, join the other new Traffic Exchanges just added, HitsViral and TrafficJamPro. Dwight from TJP just taught me alot about cookies. Not the kind you eat, but the ones that affect who you join a program under. I'm going to talk about that a bit at the conference tomorrow night; and blog about it next week.
So as promised, more about cookies, downline integrity, and due dilligence. So what is a cookie? Is it something you find at CookieJarHits? Actually Yes! CookieJarHits of course part of the TrafficLeads2Income Downline Builder (unless blocked by your sponsor – more on that later). What a cookie is in the terms of this article is a marker placed on ones computer when they click to join a particular site. If the cookie is set as first, that person is set as the sponsor no matter when they go back to actually complete a registration. If it is set to last, the last person (most recent) they have clicked on to join becomes the sponsor (overwriting the initial cookie).
So why would the owner of a site want first cookie set versus last, you may ask. Well, one of the reasons is that when a program has just launched, many people use special offers as bait so you will join under them versus someone else. In order to view the offer, they need to click to join. The first cookie prevents people from cycling thru various offers to pick which one is the best one. You are locked in with the first offer you view. Is this fair? I will leave this as a rhetorical question for now. Also, in Internet Marketing terms, the justification also becomes "I told you about it first!" Of course this is virtual telling, and if you don't join then something was missing, the "sale" was not closed.
The thought process on last cookie is that folks who go beyond internet marketing techniques; meaning personal followup, may be able to persude someone to join something they were considering (perhaps from an unknown source) by explaining the features and benefits while being able to offer support as well. The definition of this person is a Networking Internet Marketer. The first cookie penalizes them, the last cookie rewards them.
So then, this brings us to what you can do as the referral. Ultimately, its your choice who you join something under. Always ask yourself this question. Are they going to disappear like dust in the wind when I need help, or be there when I need help. If the latter is not important to you, so be it. There are many people that really require and expect that of their sponsor. Before you go to the downline builder of TrafficLeads2Income, check on who your sponsor is. You can do so by Reviewing Step 2 in the 11 Steps of Success. Now, when you click on a program you want to join in the downline builder, check to see if their name is on the site or on the signup page. Most programs give you that information, so it is up to you to know who you are joining under before you submit your signup form. If it doesn't match what you expect, you can try clearing your cookies (remember the discussion above). If that doesn't work, maybe they are not a member of that program. Contact them and at least give them the courtesy of 24 hours to give you an answer. They will respect you so much for that, as you would if someone did this for you.
Another question that comes up about our downline builder is what to do if my sponsor blocks a program? Well, same rule as above, contact them and give them 24 hours to tell you why and what alternative they have for you. Ultimately, you have the perogative to go to the main domain of that program and join. No one, ultimately can stop you from doing anything, but if you know you are operating in a fair manner and communicating with your sponsor, you have nothing to stress about. As leaders in a community, you also need to be sensitive to who ones sponsor is, and always refer them back to this individual.
To learn more cookies, and our new Video in Step 7 of the 11 Steps of Success, please join us at 9:30 PM Est Sunday 9/11/11. Access to the conference room is at the following page:

Rob Gehring – Admin and Owner of RobsNetworkers and TrafficLeads2Income
RobsNetworkers and TrafficLeads2Income are proud to announce a new tracking resource for our members. AffiliateToolBox is going to take tracking to a higher level for the members. ATB is owned by John Bell, who also owns TrafficSwirl. John also assists us in programming efforts, so he is integrating AffiliateToolBox in the TrafficLeads2Income Back Office. What this means for the members is a resource that will be easier to use with an owner who is plugged into the RobsNetworkers Community. You will have all the support you need in understanding and maximizing this resource.
So where are we at now?
AffiliateToolBox has been added to the TrafficLeads2Income Downline Builder. Go there now and join, but first make sure your sponsor has done so first. When you click on Join at ATB, note at the bottom of the signup page the name of your referrer. This will give you the verification you'll need. While in the DLB, join the other new Traffic Exchanges just added, HitsViral and TrafficJamPro. Dwight from TJP just taught me alot about cookies. Not the kind you eat, but the ones that affect who you join a program under. I'm going to talk about that a bit at the conference tomorrow night; and blog about it next week.
Next, go to Step 11 and notice that all of your Lead Capture Pages have been converted to the new tracking format. Here is an example:
If you are currently tracking pages elsewhere, that will continue to work fine. You can place your AFT tracking link in another tracker if you choose. The new Tracking System is 100% operational. In the Profile Area, simply add your AFT Username in the designated box. Once this takes place, all of your TrafficLeads2Income LCP (Lead Capture Page) Stats then show in your ATB BackOffice. If you choose not to join ATB (which is FREE to Join) your pages will still be tracked, with the stats displaying in my ATB Admin Account. The Conversion Code box for TEToolBox will still be in Profile till 10/1; but once its removed we're going to be giving you the ability to edit your TL2I Thankyou pages, so this won't be an issue and you'll be able to customize your Thankyous to your hearts desire.
Again, we our proud to be working with John Bell and Affiliate ToolBox, everything is operational! We have edited our instructional steps (7, 9, and 11); and the AutoResponder Letters in Affiliate Tools. We hope to have a new video in Step 7 soon, just waiting for a good buddy to finish it up. If you're reading this good buddy, drop me a line. 🙂
To learn more about AFT, HitsViral, and TrafficJamPro, please join us at 9:30 PM Est Sunday 9/4/11. Access to the conference room is at the following page:

Sometimes, we make a mountain out of the molehill called followup. If you are using TrafficLeads2Income correctly, then you are sending all your traffic to your list building lead capture page, presenting the tip of the funnel after they opt in as TrafficLeads2Income, hopefully bringing them into your TrafficLeads2Income Downline where they discover all the goodies you have in your Downline Builder, which is the big part of the funnel. So its an Upside Down Funneling System! Make sure you are using your tracking link (with your lead capture page(s) embedded inside) for complete optimization of the system. Good, you’re on the right track!!!
So, your autoresponder and the program (TL2I) are getting some good ad copy out to your new optins/members; so email is happening and that base is covered. What you need to focus on now is personal followup. Here are some questions to ask….
1) Is there any info in their profile that I can use for personal followup? (See Referral Area)
2) Have I tried looking their name up on facebook or skype? With Skype you have the Search Feature which allows you to search the Skype Database by Name or Email Address. So if you have just generated a new lead or just had your lead opt into your TL2I Downline, let’s just immediately see if we can use Skype to connect with them. Here is a video on how to add email contacts in Skype.
3) Have I used the downline mailer as a hook to bring them to the surface? To do this, when you send a mail choose the option with no credits and check mark the downline box. This will only send to your personal referrals.
Point #3 is what I am going to focus on today, using the downline mailer to make a personal connection with your team member. Here is a short email I used successfully this week, in order for this all to make sense read from the bottom to the top:
End of Communication:
Hi Brinkley.
Its a pleasure to have you on my team.
My main concern is helping you
take it to the next level, whatever level you’re on.
First thing, have you logged in?
Grab one of the great One Time Offers that comes up or click Upgrade in your backoffice.
If you follow the 7 Steps to Success, you can get up to a 14 Day Upgrade FREE! Take advantage of all the great promo codes you’ll discover during your training.
From there, we have a great mentoring group called
Massive Marketers. From Skype to a Voice Conference
Room, we have it all!
Once you’ve looked at the TL2I Oto’s and are in your
account, the only other thing is to begin your SetUp at
Step 1 (of the 7 Steps to Success). Remember, I’m
here for you Brinkley and no matter what you’re promoting, it will fit into your TL2IVM Success System!

Binkley,
Reply when you get this so that I may give you personalized
mentoring in TrafficLeads2Income.

Beginning of Communication:
So the email at the bottom is the one that was generated from the downline mailer, the one at the top was a personal reply from me once I received the reply. Keep your downline mail short and to the point, request a reply to see who’s out there paying attention. Once you know they are out there, laser focus your mentoring of them. You’ll be delighted by the results! Feel free to use the emails above, but I would recommend that you customize them to your style.
Another topic I want to talk about today is outside the TL2I System and helps you generate leads outside of TrafficExchanges and Safelists. There is no need to surf for credits or click on email links with this strategy. In fact, at some point in your career, you are going to want to upgrade in your favorite Traffic Exchanges and Safelists and/or purchase advertising packages. One of the most valuable assets in your business is YOU! When you are free to followup with prospects or to go out and find new ones, you will see an improvement in your results. Here is a prospecting strategy you will hopefully find very productive. I will keep it brief for now, but plan on expanding it in the future. Here we go!!!
4) We begin our journey in Facebook. (Feel Free to Friend me now, rob.gehring, I will accept.) Once you have joined Lifestyle Society from your Trafficleads2incomeVM Downline Builder (Income Opportunities) you will be able to plug into audience building training that will help you create more Facebook leads than you’ll know what to do with.
5) You must use Skype, MUST. Go to Skype.com if you aren’t using it. If you are not willing to do this, stop reading and go watch a re-run of Matlock!
Ok, you’re still here, yeah, it was a good show, but making money online is much more fun than watching TV. So, you need Skype Friends? Well start with me, use the Add a Contact (Remember the Video I have above) and add rob.gehring. I would love to chat with you. Build your Skype as large as you can. For soon you will be going out and connecting with them. What we recommend is called relationship based marketing. Let me show you a recent sample conversation I had with a contact:
Hi Kelly! (or I could say something like, Hello, How is your day going?)
[6/29/2012 3:51:21 PM] Kelly: Hi There Rob
[6/29/2012 3:56:49 PM] Rob Gehring: I know we haven’t chatted in a while Kelly. I am going through my contacts here and approaching everyone because I am so excited about partnering with (insert upline) and wanted to know if we could talk about what has me so excited?
[6/29/2012 4:01:10 PM] Kelly: Sure, but I’m headed out the door at the moment. I will be here later this evening or tomorrow. Does that work for you?

[6/29/2012 11:10:07 PM] Kelly: ummmm well we never really started
[6/29/2012 11:10:12 PM] Kelly: heehee
[6/29/2012 11:17:49 PM] Rob Gehring: ok
[6/29/2012 11:18:26 PM] Rob Gehring: So I’m basicly talking to folks about the xxx Opportunity, have you heard of xxxx?
[6/30/2012 12:07:35 AM] Kelly: I have heard of xxxx but it’s been awhile. I would love to hear more. 🙂
[6/30/2012 8:02:02 AM] Rob Gehring: nice
[6/30/2012 8:02:27 AM] Rob Gehring:LeadCapture LINK ( We always build our list first or enter into a prospecting system.)
[6/30/2012 8:02:37 AM] Rob Gehring: Fill in the short form there Kelly
[6/30/2012 8:02:55 AM] Rob Gehring: It will give you some info and allow me to send you a video presentation too (If your company offers this.)
