The REAL reason 97% FAIL in Making Money Online....

We've all heard the stats in home business.

97% of people who get started don't last.

For whatever reason this stat has stuck around for YEARS in spite of new technology, prospecting ideas, training and all the resources you could throw at a new affiliate or rep in your company.

Why?

Because regardless of the new shiny presentation... the new secret ingredient in your energy drink... even how slick your weekly conference calls or hangouts are...

... you're STILL not going to make any sales until YOU get a real human being to LOOK at the presentation, make a decision and buy!

Don't worry ­­ we're going to solve this 3 step process for you today... PLUS show you a way to start profiting from something BRAND NEW.

Before we do that...

There's an even bigger problem once you start getting eyeballs on your business.

You see, when you DO get your presentation in front of someone ­­ they're usually not the RIGHT person. It's kinda like opening up a surf shop in the middle of a big city great products I'm sure.. but nobody wants 'em.

This is why you get more "NO's" than "YES's" in your prospecting.

So:

If you need to get the RIGHT people and the RIGHT time to see your opportunity...

Then you're going to LOVE this new platform because it does EXACTLY that.

You choose WHO you want to get your message out to...

And this smart system does the legwork for you.

P.S. 

If you hadn't figured it out yet...

This means:

... More income.

... Less stress.

... Zero Confusion. 

... No rejection!

See, for average, everyday people like you and me, it's no wonder 97% of people quit on their dreams.

Frustration, overwhelm, all the hoops you need to jump through just to make a measly commission on the internet would make anyone go insane.

This is why there are so many people EXCITED to jump in and get early­bird access to this right now:

Online Traffic has become a hot commodity...

As you probably know, over the past couple of years, online  traffic has become a hot commodity.

Everyone's dipped their toes into the online traffic pool yet only a few have uncovered the true art to becoming a profitable traffic provider.

But there's something even hotter than traffic.

PREMIUM Traffic.

Now:

If you're a Company Owner, Offer Owner, Top Team Leader, or Super Affiliate you want to pay very close attention because this could be the most important post you get about traffic in 2015:

See, the guys over at Traffic Authority (the same owners as CPC Broker and Infinite Leverage) -- you'll see why this is important in a minute)...

After the public launch on August 19th, things will kick into high gear and they'll be holding a contest with over $20,000 in prizes, including huge traffic packages that you can use to build your business and get the momentum building even more.

One of the best ways to gain goodwill while at the same time earning up front and residual commissions is to provide something that is TRULY beneficial to your list.

Something that they can use to save time, make them more money and streamline their businesses.

Making Money the Easy Way..

 
There are many ways to make money online, and becoming an affiliate is arguably the easiest. After all, someone else has created the product, written the sales letter, and put together all the marketing materials for you. All you need to do is drive traffic towards it.
 
Before the Internet came along, the traditional way to sell products was to buy/rent a shop, stock it and hope you got some customers.
 
Nowadays you don't need a shop or your own products – you can promote other people's products for the same profit margin but without all the overheads.
 
You can make anything up to 75% of the profits on every sale, although that isn't the norm – 5 to 15 % is more usual. But consider this: E-bay's top affiliate marketer has made over $26,000,000.00 in just a few years – not to be sniffed at!
 
So here’s a simple step-by-step process for making money as an affiliate marketer…
 
1. Choose a product
 
You can affiliate (or 'partner') with almost any product being sold. You may have just bought something that is really good value and you like, and you can affiliate with that. Just go the the website of the parent company, and, usually at the bottom, but sometimes at the top, is a link called 'Affiliates', 'Partner with us' or words to that effect. Clicking on that link will take you to a page where you can sign up and find all the info you need – commissions etc.
 
2. Join a Network
 
Affiliate networks stock hundreds if not thousands of products, and you can choose from their lists. www.ClickBank.com, www.cj.com and www.PayDotCom.com are 3 of the best around.  You can sign up for an account completely free.
 
3. Select a market
 
It's always best to select products that a lot of people will buy. Having said that, there needs to be a decent mark-up for you to receive a decent commission.
Toothpaste, for example, sells in it's millions, but the markup is negligible and you can't compete with the like of Proctor and Gamble. Grand pianos would have a huge markup, but how many of those are you going to sell? Focus on markets with high sales and interest. The best areas to focus on are health, wealth and lifestyle.
 
4. Choose a product
 
Within each affiliate network, you can find products that interest you, and then check out their statistics to see how well they’re selling. Take a look at the figures, and the sales page. You’ll soon get a good idea as to whether it’s worth promoting.
 
4. Obtain your affiliate link
 
When you’ve chosen a product, the affiliate network will allow you to create your very own affiliate link. You can then direct traffic towards your link using blogs, FB, Twitter et al. The affiliate networks have tracking systems in place, so when a customer clicks on your link, goes through to the relevant sales page and purchases the product, you get paid a commission.
 
 
So give it a go – it's surprisingly easy. Go ahead and sign up to one of the affiliate networks now, select a product, grab your very own unique referral link, and start promoting it!
 
Best Wishes,

Rent to Rent: What Are Lease Options & How Do They Work?

• ‘Lease with the Option to Purchase at the end of the tenancy’
• Total Control of the property and create an income
• Future agreed price to purchase property
• Locks in the landlord for 5 – 10 years
• The right but no obligation to buy
• Sell on for the market price if you prefer at a later date
• Pay £1 deposit for the Property Option
• Pay £500 per month to rent the property which will come off the final price
• Rent out for £1,500 per month if Multi letting the property
• £1,000 per month profit

Controlling property without ownership creates wealth without the risk – we like this a lot!

For what we do and how we work Lease Options in our Rent to Rent strategy is by far the most simple. We the buyer has the option to but the seller does not so there is no obligation to purchase at any time unless you wish too, in fact you don’t have to purchase at all, you can sell the option onto another party. 

We use them in Rent to Rent because if we have taken the time to find a great property returning a great rental profit we may like to keep it ourselves. We can either save the rent over the timeframe and purchase we have the money to do so or set the option up so that we can pay for the property per month by way of rent.

It works like this:

• Current value of the property is £150,000
• We pay £500 per month to the landlord for the property
• We rent out for £1,500 per month
• The agreed price for the option will be £175,000 for the next 5 years.
• If the property is worth say £210,000 in 5 years we purchase using no money left in strategy

…or we set the option up so the £500 we pay each month or £6,000 a year comes off the final price so in 5 years time we would pay £175,000 minus the £30,000 we pain in rent with a total of £145,000. 

Good deal?

You bet. When setting up and negotiating Lease Options with a vendor make sure it is right for the vendor and right for you. It’s a numbers game. If property prices fall over the time you simply don’t purchase or you can extend the option.

Moving on...

Still on a big HIGH from My Advertising Pays London event, here's an update of what happened...

Wow, what an event!

Everyone was saying the best event ever, with over 650 people in the room, the room was
jam packed, standing room at the back and down all the sides. Not to mention all
the people who could not even get in. (Sorry to you guys)

We had at least 10 to 12 New Diamond 1200 members go LIVE on stage. Two New Blue Diamonds.

We had world class trainers on stage, the announcement of the New My Advertising Pays Academy.

So many life changing stories, tears on stage, this business is changing peoples lives.

What really touched me was when a member came to me and said he had been attending events
all his life and this was by far the best event he ever attended, when I asked why, he said because
every speaker on stage spoke from the HEART.

It's the truth, everyone makes money, lives are being changed and best of all we are only just
getting started.

In addition to this we also had over 70 Commission Cheques to give out on stage but because of
time we could only give out the top 30 which were all over SIX Figures!

My Earnings Cheque was over $1.7 MILLION Dollars. (my results definitely not typical) however it
show just whats possible with dedication, 15 hour days eating sleeping maps, helping & inspiring
others to success.

After the main event in the day over 120 of us had a wonderful Dinner  at the Hotel
followed by a disco till midnight. Great fun was had by all.

I want to give a MASSIVE thank you to every single one of you for attending the event, I want to
Thank all the speakers, all the leadership, Tony & Lynn Booth and all the corporate staff, and of
course to the CEO Mr Mike Deese for giving us all such a life changing opportunity.

I am really excited about the future & the next 18 months.

THIS IS JUST THE START!

In the meantime I can now get on and finish my New Book which should be available within the next
30/60 days entitled "The Maps Phenomenon" PART ONE (The First 18 Months)

Have a wonderful week & god bless us all.

Empower Network decline taking its toll?

Empower Network launched on the simple idea that people would pay the affiliate who recruited them $25 a month for WordPress. Once they had their foot in the door and realised WordPress was free and not owned by Empower Network, they’d then be told to “go all in” and purchase further “training”.

Once they’d paid their thousands of dollars, they were then qualified to receive commissions by going out and telling others the same. For each person they convinced to sign up and go through the process as they themselves had done, commissions were paid.

The central problem and give-away that affiliates were simply just paying eachother based on recruitment was that Empower Network didn’t own the rights to WordPress.

WordPress is

a free and open source blogging tool and a content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL, which runs on a web hosting service.

WordPress is used by more than 18.9% of the top 10 million websites as of August 2013.

WordPress is the most popular blogging system in use on the Web, at more than 60 million websites.

After it became too much to continue the facade of pretending they were selling access to WordPress for $25 a month, with the goal of eventually convincing people to pass up thousands of dollars to their affiliate uplines, Empower Network paid someone to develop their own blogging platform.

ENV2 was released in October 2013 and, despite the “WordPress-killer” marketing hype, all it did was further reduce the blogging functionality of what was already a paper-thin facade to begin with.

I suspect the handful of people who were actually paying their upline on the belief that the Empower Network domain held some SEO value, up and left.

This didn’t go unnoticed at the top and has resulted in a shift away from a focus on “just blog and earn infinity money” to tin-can style internet marketing courses.

By and large these latest attempts to convince people to continue to hand over money to their uplines each month (passed all the way up to the top, where Empower Network owners David Wood and David Sharpe sit), target traffic and lead generation.

The problem with Empower Network traffic generation is that you’re directing traffic to something that’s not as attractive to the type of people who might be convinced to part with $25 for access to WordPress and then thousands of dollars in upsells later on.

ENV2 is a flop, and no amount of hype is going to convince the world that it’s even a remote competitor to WordPress.

Case in point?

David Wood’s own personal blog site?

WordPress.

David Sharpe?

WordPress too.

Wood and Sharpe are the most obvious examples of ENV2’s lack of viability, but look up any other Empower Network top-affiliate and you’ll find the same thing. Yeah they might have an Empower Network blog counter-part but their primary blog, the one they actually give a crap about and brand themselves on?

WordPress.

With it being harder to convince people to dip their toes into Empower Network’s ENV2 for $25, focus has now shifted to extracting as much money as possible from those who have already bought in.

For this Empower Network has tapped into its top affiliates, most of whom have extensive internet marketing backgrounds. David Wood’s latest strategy is a weekly leaderboard, which assigns points to affiliates each time they complete varying tasks. Typically these tasks involve selling Empower Network training courses, recruiting affiliates as customers and buying Empower Network event tickets. 

Problem is you’re still throwing traffic and leads at a baseline blogging platform nobody cares or is passionate about.

And yeah, the days of people blindly throwing thousands of dollars on the promise of being able to receive their “all in” deposit back by recruiting others who do the same are long gone.

Looking at the bigger picture, the obvious point to make here is that none of this is even remotely sustainable.

This is evidenced by Alexa’s traffic statistics for the Empower Network domain:

What you’re looking at there is the slow realization of people at the bottom of the pass-up scheme, realizing they’re obviously not going to get their money back.

I will note however that Empower Network’s ranking number is of course nothing to be ashamed about, being in the top 1000 is a remarkable effort (despite how they got there) and my intention is not to rubbish that accomplishment.

What I will say though is that in the top 1000 websites, when we talks swings of 100 places or even 50 (or less), that translates into thousands, if not tens of thousands of pageviews. In the upper ranks we’re talking hundreds of thousands(millions higher still).

And while the decline thus far hasn’t largely seemed to affect those collecting regular payments from their downlines (at least not publicly), there are a few examples of things coming undone.

The most recent example comes from the top of the Empower Network pass-up pile. David Sharpe recently announced to the world he has Hepatitis-C. He’s known about it for a while but is only now going to seek treatment.

I certainly don’t hold a disease against the man (however he contracted it) and I wish Sharpe the fastest of recoveries.

What Sharpe’s announcement does mean in the context of this article is that he’s obviously out of the picture until his health is back ont rack. That leaves David Wood running a one-man show.

What exactly Empower Network’s newly appointed CEO actually does has yet to manifest itself. Footrubs? Coffee runs? Who knows…

As it stands, Wood’s primary income relies on a constant source of new money flowing in at the bottom of Empower Network. This keeps his top-affiliates happy and if they’re happy they keep passing up one in every five payments to him (it’s not as simple of that as everyone is passing up one in five, but that’s the gist of it).

Lower participation means less money at the bottom being passed up, which means unhappy affiliates. And everytime that happens, Wood publishes a rant or makes a video about it.

Just last month Wood ordered affiliates to go out and recruit at least two affiliates (“customers”) a day.

What I’ve observed (and I can’t be the only one), is that Wood’s  rants are containing increasing markers of frustration. Such to the point that they now entirely hollow.

Don’t take my word for it though, read Wood’s words for yourself. This is his latest rant (sans waffle), published earlier today:

What’s my vision?

To create the richest possible team.

The RICHEST possible TEAM. NOT the richest possible ‘ME’.

I’m not here to ‘get rich’ – because…

…if I want to get rich, there’s a lot of things I could do with my life, that I don’t want to do. Including this —

Because I was making money before Empower Network, LLC.

Before Empower Network – I had my first $10,000 month.

Before Empower Network, I had my first $20,000 month.

Before Empower Network – I had my first $100,000 month.

I don’t need Empower Network to make money. Because if Empower Network didn’t exist – I would make money without it.

Because I can sell shit. I can sell shit DAMNED GOOD.

Occasionally – some idiot (I emphasize ‘IDIOT’ — and would like to add the language of ‘big wussy, that I’d like to punch in the face’ — to emphasize the patheticness of being a critical idiot). Anyways… some idiot thinks I’m doing this for MONEY. Because I NEED to GET RICH.

FACT:

Dear IDIOT:

I don’t need Empower Network to make money. Because I make money selling shit.

And – “dear idiot” if you don’t join my business — I don’t give a shit. Because I don’t need idiots in my life, or sales from ‘morons’ like you to make money.

Because I understand WHY people by shit. AND it isn’t because they are idiots, like you are. People buy shit because they are SMART and want the BEST that life has to offer.

Can you BUY my position and my AUTHORITY in Empower Network?

NO. Because…you CAN’T BUY ME!!!!

Because I am: “Un-fucking buy-able”. It doesn’t matter if you give me a million dollars… or two. OR TEN.

Because when I was making only $30,000 a month (before Empower Network) — I was offered $1.7 million to join a nutritional deal.

And I said: “NO!!!!”

Because: I am NOT a sell out!

(fuck you idiots – that think I am doing this for money. You broke, poor, morons. If I see you – swing at my face. Because I would love to break you NOSE in the name of greatness.

And if you accidentally injure me in the name of FREEDOM – I can die in peace – knowing that I sacrifice my life to give to the cause of GREATNESS. And I’ll break your nose back in the process — and I’ll celebrate your broken nose… with photos on my Facebook Timeline. Thanks for being a moron.)

I do NOT do what I do for money – I DON’T need Empower Network for that.

I need ‘ME’ for that.

I need ‘Dave Wood working his ass of “giving value” for that’.

I NEED the ‘David Wood’ that has been forged in the fires of ‘Hard Work’ and ‘hypnotic, badass fucking salesmanship’.

And the ‘ME’ (Dave Wood) is forged from DAILY personal development – that has been going on ‘DAILY’ for more than 13 years (since 2002).

So those who think this is a ‘LOTTERY’ or that I preach that — go fuck yourself. Because you are a moron. And if you want – I will GLADLY punch you in the face in front of 5,000 people…

The question is:

Are you going to be full of shit — and make EXCUSES to why you can or can’t do this — or NOT?

Click ‘LIKE’ and ‘SHARE’ — and let’s stop being a God Damned wussy.

AND — are you here for a free lunch?

I punch wussies in the face — but I don’t want to punch you in the face.

WHY?

BECAUSE life punches wussies in the face.

Are you willing to work for your dreams or not? Are you willing to take CRITICISM or not? Are you willing to STAND STRONG or not?

Then click the button — and god damned join.

JOIN NOW. That’s it, period.

Because I’m sick of the bullshit. Let’s lock arms — and fight the forces of evil.

YOU DOWN? Let’s rock.

IF NOT — I’d like to emphasize… Be an idiot, and be poor. Because… I’m cool with that.

Love ya,

David Wood

Ah the internet, where lanky pasty-faced internet marketers can re-invent themselves as rogue trash-talking gangsters.

It was extremely tempting to dedicate the next few paragraphs to ridiculing Wood’s threats to punch people in the face and break their noses infront of the Empower Network affiliate collective, but I won’t. Wood’s words speak for themselves. Me poking any further fun at them just seems cruel.

Note that even with my editing there’s still a considerable amount of waffle in Wood’s theatrics, but the core message behind the rant is still obvious enough:“Join Empower Network”.

And by that of course Wood means hand over money to an Empower Network affiliate, who does the same, who does the same… and Wood gets paid. Same old schtick, only now Wood’s mixing larger doses of his personality into the mix.

And what a personality it is!

Beyond Wood’s inner-circle of “yes men”, I’m not really sure who this sort of communication style is supposed to appeal to. Even if wasn’t aware of the mechanics of Empower Network’s compensation plan, Wood’s proclamation of self-awesomeness is still painfully embarrassing to read through.

Looking to the future, apparently there’s some Empower Network event coming up and then… well there doesn’t seem to be any public game-plan going forward. And if I’m feeling the state of directionless looking in, I can only wonder what it’s like to be in the thick of it.

The bottom-line appears to be rooted in people not being able to market ENV2 because it’s a poor man’s WordPress (that costs more), but apparently that’s being addressed by just having existing affiliates pay more for marketing training.

I certainly wouldn’t expect a state of constant growth within the company but a steady decline over a six month period that is likely to only get worse should be addressed. At the very least there should be some form of retention beyond those at the top trying to get shiny gold rings.

The question that needs to be asked: Where to from here?

Understanding the Creating Equity Strategies (BMV- Below Market Value and AMV- Adding Market Value)

To help you build on your property knowledge, I have created a range of "Understanding" articles which will take us through the range of property investment strategies taught within Millionaires Together.

In this, the first one, we gain an understanding of the Creating Equity Strategies (BMV- Below Market Value and AMV- Adding Market Value).

I hope this is helpful to you in your property adventures and remember you can ask me any property question, any time :)

Creating Equity gives you (or your sourcing client) a head start on traditional Buy To Let investment.


We are gaining the equivalent of multiple years of capital growth in a short window of time by the use of:

 1) Below Market Value or 

 2) Adding to Market Value or 

3) More usually a combination of both.

For example if you are aiming to acquire properties at a 20-25% discount, in most areas you will do a lot more deals if you consider opportunities at 10-15% discount (BMV) that also have 10%- 15% potential added value (AMV).

 This equity creation means that profit can be released upon resale (BTS) or that a portfolio can be grown faster by the use of equity as deposit either on acquisition (Little Money Down) or on revaluation & refinance (Money Back Out).

Alternatively you can end up buying cheaper and having smaller mortgage payments.

The level of discount should not however be the most important criteria. 

For properties you are keeping long term you must buy based on yield, return of capital deployed, lettability (average void periods), potential for capital growth, alignment with your overall strategy etc. 

The equity/discount is only a few years of growth so these other factors must be taken into account as more important purchasing reasons.  

Assuming however that your chosen areas meet your purchasing criteria then finding that bargain, makes total sense.  

But why would any seller's sell their property cheap? 

 There are loads of circumstances and situations such as divorce, relocation, upsizing, downsizing, need for cash to invest in business etc but ultimately it is because: 

Your solution has more value to the seller than the equity they are sacrificing.

Usually the value in your solution hinges on transaction speed.

4 months on the market conventionally or 4 weeks to completion with you.

Speed and Certainty of Sale are the primary drivers for BMV sellers. 

 Motivated BMV sellers always have 2 things: 

1) A pressing reason to sell  

and 

2) A deadline that they are working towards

The other solutions we offer that encourage a BMV purchase include: 

• A relocation package with long term/ renewable tenancy/ discounted/ rent free period/ lha rate (all negotiable) 
• Limited Entitlement Rent Back - Renting a room or a portion of the home (less than 40% is unregulated) 
• an equity stake in an alternative property 
• The opportunity to buy another property that you have through shared ownership or RTB 
• Negotiating a discount on their onward property (Chainbreaking) 
• Managing a refurb on their next property  
• A share of rental income 
• A share of profits from future resale 

There are two types of BMV seller, distressed or motivated and these are very, very different. 

We are certainly not in the business of ripping people's houses out from under them and stealing their equity.
A distressed seller is someone who's in a really bad place in their life at that time. A distressed seller may be facing repossession, and they think they have to sell the house fast. 

In most cases those people have been given bad advice from a lot of different agencies.
If it's a distressed seller you can actually say to them, "Well look I've found out that there's a simple form you can fill in at the court, you could stop your eviction and get a new arrangement with the lender''.
 We do not transact with people in distress, peace of mind does not come from profiting directly from someone's misfortune. 

We add value to the entire situation.

In summary: 

A motivated seller is in control of the situation and a distressed seller is being pushed by  circumstances outside of their control.  

A motivated seller is somebody who is literally happy to sell their house quick and cheap.

A motivated seller may discount their property to enable them to buy their bigger dream house that they have got a great deal on as cash buyers or buyers who have already sold.  

 Example, we bought from a couple who got a 100k discount off their next 850k house, whilst giving us 80k discount off of their 330k house.  

A motivated seller may be selling one house because they are moving in the other house as a couple together and want the money to get married.

 A motivated seller may be embarrassed at the internal condition of their property and not want to market it publicly. 

 A motivated seller may be selling quickly because they are emigrating for their dream job. 

 A motivated seller may come to us as a distressed seller facing repossession and we help to stop their repossession and put them back in control of their situation. If they still want to sell afterwards that is up to them.  

 There are lots of situations where someone benefits from selling to, or dealing with a trade buyer rather than a retail buyer. 

The point is that retail may take 4 months, trade can take 4 weeks.

 That 3 months difference is 3 mortgage payments, 3 months of life on hold, 3 months of missed opportunities.  

This strategy hinges on there being a difference between the purchase price and the market value, so be extra careful that you are not just paying market value even when buying below local comparable price.

20p may seem really cheap for a tin of beans if you compare it to Marks and Spencer but it is not cheap if they are actually Lidl beans.

 Most supposed BMV deals appear to be BMV, but they are Lidl beans, being compared to M & S ones.  

In reality many bmv deals are bmv for a reason eg:  

Rough or depressed area,  

Breach of planning issues,  

Negative history of property (eg murder),  

Unmortgageable constuction type 

With this in mind, although we talk about BMV, more important is Below RICS
Value. 

Evidencing the RICS value at point of acquisition is very important for later resale, refinancing or tax offsetting purposes (HMRC refer to market value when first let, rather than purchase price).

We call this the "benchmark value"

Making low offers can be credibility damaging and very insulting so I never make a substantially Below Market Value offer:

 a) Without special permission to make that offer 

 and 

b) Alongside at least one other offer proposal, giving our vendor the choice of 2 outcomes. 

 But what about AMV ?

 Adding up to 10% to the value is very easy indeed with small cosmetic improvements. 

 Adding bedrooms without increasing the square footage can enhance the value further outside of London but in London floor space needs to be created to see the same uplift.

BMV is more for the North and AMV is more for the south. 

AMV is really about the following 3 things: 

 1) Cosmetic Improvements.  
Decor, Lighting, Kerb Appeal, Damp Resolution, Staging, windows, tidy outdoor space.  

This is our preference and almost always meets our criteria of spending of £1 spent to create £2.50 increase in value  

 2) Adding a Bedroom/ Downstairs Toilet/ Open plan downstairs.  

Changing layout, removing internal walls adding windows does not require planning permission just building regulations compliance. 

Increases rent and outside of main cities will usually increase the value (we haven't changed the square footage yet).  

 3) Adding Sq Ft.  

When done to a good standard, this always increases value but is most viable down South where you can be assured of the 2.5 x uplift from money invested.  

Consider Loft, Basement, Extension, Roof Terrace, Parking

Adding substantial value to properties is only recommended for selling rather than letting long term because: 

a) Rental yield may not increase with value. 

b) Tenants will generally care less for expensive fixtures, fittings and finishing. Wear and tear increases and focus should be on durability as much as appeal. 

c) You may face refinancing challenges. 

Arms length sale valuations are intentionally more accommodating and generous than remortgage valuations.
