postheadericon 1stepsystem- A One Step Internet Marketing Revolution

1StepSystem is basically a Complete Automated Home Business, and is promoted as “Hands Free Income”. Co-Founders Rod Stinson and Chris Koehl are known for being tops at what they do, with incredible track records. Rod was rated as “One of the Top 20 Network Marketers in the World”, and is a top producer in several MLM companies, hundreds of thousands of people in his downlines. Chris is an expert internet marketer and had created the online marketing system for many companies. Amongst them are Xango, Oasis Wellness Network, Pro-Step, SeaSilver, LifeForce International, Mannatech, My Golden Leads.com, Best Leads.com, Precision MLM.com and Credit Secrets. Both Rod and Chris wanted to build an organization where people who have ventured into network marketing unsuccessfully over the years could finally have the chance to become successful.

As contrast to traditional concepts of Direct Marketing , there were many difficulties in introducing the system to anyone and more specifically if we ask our freinds and relatives to understand the system.Being on the inside track developing online systems, Chris knows the downsides of MLMs, and why people failed. He quoted in his biography, “Sometimes the problem was the product being marketed, sometimes it was the pay plan, sometimes it was the owner or administrators of my system, and sometimes it was all three. Needless to say it was frustrating. I spent years perfecting my online system but could never find the right business model to plug it into then…Rod Called. You know, sometimes you know, when you know…5 minutes into our conversation I began to get goose bumps, the idea Rod had was exactly what my system needed to be married to – and by doing so, all the previous challenges would be eliminated.”

The idea Rod and Chris had with the 1StepSystem was to build a company where those that had been unsuccessful with network marketing in the past, could finally be given a way to become extremely successful. The ‘system’ has been very good to them and they wanted to find a way to give a little ‘pay-back’. You know what? That’s exactly what they’re doing. Chris and Rod are offering an unheard of 83.7% payout, that’s next to impossible to beat. As a matter of fact, I’m told, that it’s the highest percentage ever offered in the history of the network marketing industry. Now get this, there’s no selling involved at all and the price is affordable and not even close to what most of those companies are charging out there. The prospective customer starts by being directed to a website, once there he signs up for a FREE 37 Minute Tele-seminar.

The product “Ultimate Marketers Tool Box” is like a personal digital library of the most effective marketing strategies known to man. It’s the digital product in the virtual back office of 1StepSystem. The marketing strategies and tools provided along with proprietary marketing software in the box are responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of sales in any business, online or off.

“I don’t even need to communicate with my prospects, and they send me $500 directly into my account,” says Dawn Henderson. “On my first sale, I practically made back all the money I initially laid out, and I did that in less than an hour after I joined.” Laura Goodman said, “I have tried so many other MLM & Network Marketing opportunities and had always failed. This is the first time I have ever had success at it, and it’s the least I’ve ever had to work.” According to David Track, Leading QA for the 1StepSystem, “I would easily pay $500 for the “ultimate marketer tool box” which consists of proprietary software and other marketing tools designed to help increase sales in any business, whether online or off. Being the owner of an invention marketing company, it has already helped us immensely in our marketing efforts, and has also assisted me in rapidly growing the 1StepSystem business. In fact, I am already earning more with the 1StepSystem then I do at my own company, and I started 1/28/06!”

When I looked into the 1StepSystem for the first time it was back on February 8th. I did a Google search after receiving an email from a fellow marketer. When I did the Google search it, if you can believe this, only brought back (1) link! That’s right (1) link that happen to be to a thread in a pretty well know Forum. It was the standard beginning thread, “Does anyone out there know anything about the 1StepSystem”? To which there were about 4 responses and 2 more questions. The responses seemed favorable and one of them even included a phone number so I gave the fella a call. He fed me with a head full of knowledge about the program and I really considered joining – but it was a little more investment than I could make without the approval of the banker (my wife) so I had to wait. While waiting I talked myself out of doing it – figures huh. Well I went back to the Net a week or so later and Googled the 1StepSystem again and you know what, I came back with 400+ links!! I started checking them out and you wouldn’t believe the forum entries now, this guy made $4350 in 5 days, this other lady made $3,000 in her first 24hrs and this fella over here’s made over $11,000 in the last 2 weeks. Well, that put me over and now I’ve invested in the 1StepSystem too, and now I’m building up one of those “I made $XX,XXX in this many days” stories myself!

When it comes to marketing online and selling products, many people are not sure how to get visitors to their website or how to market their products. Any business owner knows that when starting an internet business it’s essential to run strong marketing campaigns in order to acheive success. Whether it’s promomting a single product, service, business opportunity, you have to somehow figure out how to get the right people to see your business.

There are numerous ways to target the right people in order to acheive financial success online. One way in particular is through bulk e-mail. Granted it does work and it can be a numbers game, however there are some services that pay people too open e-mail and read them. In order to find the services that work, you will have to test them and see which bulk e-mail services yeild real results.

A number of very reputable companies offer marketing packages that often contain downloadable CD’s teaching expert marketing strategies and secrets. A lot of systems have received mass appeal to online business seekers simply because it cuts out all of the prospecting and phone calls. Anyone that has been in any type of network marketing business knows that they can spend an entire day on the phone prospecting in hopes of finding just 1 person that will join their opportunity. Marketing systems will do most of this work for you so you don’t have to.

Many marketing systems will let you take a sneak preview of their compensation pay plan and business model. When it comes to marketing online, it’s easy to make mistakes and it’s easy to waste a lot of money testing new ideas. Any marketing package try’s to cut down on the hassle of spending advertising dollars only in hopes of making it all back. When looking for a new home business it can be an overwhelming process with all the programs available online. Most programs do not teach people how to market successfully online which eventually leave people empty handed and broke. Finding a program that makes it easy to duplicate success is an essential part of any home based business.

Before deciding on a home based business be sure you know what you’re looking for and by this I mean find a program with a proven track record. Find a program that has testimonials and a system already in place that teaches you how to duplicate their success. We know that most people want to do almost nothing and receive everything. The truth that comes with any home based business is that it does take time and effort to get it running. The initial boost will ensure a long successful home business career. Eventually you can ease up and put your system on automatic and reap the rewards, but not without doing some hard work first.

postheadericon ‘Social Bookmarking’ As An Aggressive and Acceptable Blog Marketing Tactic

Social bookmarking websites are becoming more and more popular. They allow you to save bookmarks online and Tag/Categorize them with keywords instead of saving them as bookmarks in the favorite’s list of yourbrowser. This is particularly useful when your browser based bookmarks have become unwieldy. It’s also help since you can access your bookmarks from any computer where you have an internet connection.

I have compiled a list of Social Bookmarking websites from a number of sources. You can find it here: http://www.blogmarketingtactics.com/social-bookmarking/social-bookmarking-top-links.html

Once you have bookmarked them, you can view them, sort them by category/keyword as well as see links from others that have been categorized like yours.

You also establish RSS feeds for each category (tag) that you ‘subscribe’ to. This alerts you to new links in your areas of interest. Your bookmark collection/RSS Feed becomes viewable to others who can also copy your bookmarks to their own collection. So now you can aggressively promote your RSS feed to the RSS Directories and Search engines, syndicate them and make them available to a much wider audience.

Social bookmarking sites also help you to meet other people who are interested in the same topics you are and who may also have knowledge of web resources that you don’t.

On Social Bookmarking sites, you first create an account. Then you bookmark interesting and useful things in the area of your interest or expertise. By doing so you create a useful Feed. Once you’ve done that you intermittently, (or aggressively), add useful and interesting items, (that could use additional exposure), from your own content. Make an honest effort to contribute USEFUL information and links. This is all about sharing and exposure. Done properly, you can be as aggressive as you want to be about sharing information. You can share your blog(s), links to your informational/resource sites etc. Think about the fact that when you share links to other’s resources, you’re also effectively promoting their content as well.

This is a way you can aggressively and ethically promote your content and the content of others. I personally have hundreds of gigabytes of my own information and information of others, connected to my notebook. In the final analysis, it’s doing me no good what-so-ever just sitting there. But by organizing it, online, I can help myself, (getting organized, getting my content exposed, etc.) and help others at the same time.

If you spice up your feed with too much sales and marketing related or self promotional stuff, people can and will easily drop their subscription to your feed. And instead of gaining good will and doing a service to the internet community you could get labeled as a spammer and suffer the consequences.

So while being aggressive is possible and acceptable, being careful to consider the best interest of the community is certainly warranted.

Balancing being ethical and providing a useful service to others with promoting your own content enables you to be as aggressive as you like. But remember, in the final analysis, others will make the decision on whether it’s ethical and useful or spam.
