Need More Customers for Your SeaAloe Business?

Get Local Customers with Newspaper Advertising

Most network marketers look everywhere
but their own back yard for business...

I've gone "Diamond" twice with nothing
but local customers and "distributors."

How did I do it?

Local advertising.

Where did I advertise?

Small weekly newspapers.

Don't overlook the keyword here:

Weekly papers.

The big city dailies are too expensive.

But, even worse, they don't deliver
customers the way weeklies do.

Weekly papers just plain work better for this.

And, after you get this working in your own
local area, you can branch out into other
"local" papers all across your state and
then across the country...

You'll never run out of these papers.

Here is a source of many (not all)
weekly publications:

Best of Success,

SeaAloe Marketing 101 - Business Basics

Want to make your SeaAloe business
(or any business for that matter)
grow and prosper?

Then you really need to think about this.

Ben Franklin may have discovered electricity...

But, it was the guy that invented the
electric meter that made all the money.

What's this got to do with your business?

Write this on a stone tablet:

It doesn't matter how awesome your product is.

Doesn't matter if it will grow hair
on the bald and raise the dead...

It's the guy that knows how to market
that's gonna make all the money.

And, unless you're making 10K a month
in your sleep...

You don't know how to market.

(Yet, anyway. You can learn.)

Solution?

1. Learn how to market.

or

2. Get in a JV or co-op with someone
that does know how to market.

You can have a business that
pays you for life, if...

IF, you treat it like a business.

Just go do it.

What My SeaAloe Business Means to Me

I earn my living with my SeaAloe business.

And it's a good living, praise the Lord.

And, I'm blessed that it only takes me about
two or three hours a WEEK to tend to it.

And, it’s a portable business.

All I need is my lap top and cell phone
and my “office” is set up if I need it.

My wife recently got promoted at her job.

She's now the "human resources" person.

When I say "the", I mean "the only".

It's a big billion-dollar company
with offices all over the world.

So now she has to travel some.

My wife is a small-town girl who has
never really traveled other than the
vacations we take together as a family.

(Again, thanks to SeaAloe!)

So anyway, traveling to all these far-away
big cities is sort of intimidating to her.

So, here's what my SeaAloe business means to me:

I'm able to go with her when she has to go out of town.

And I have the TIME and the MONEY
and the FREEDOM to do it.

It costs a good bit - I have to pay my own way,
airline tickets, meals, etc...

And, of course we do a lot more things while
out of town together than she would probably
do if she was by herself.

It means a LOT to her that I'm able to go with her.

And, it means a lot to me that I'm able to.

You should build your SeaAloe business.

It may mean a lot to someone you love.

Don't Define Yourself by What You're NOT

If you're not a telemarketer,
don't try to be one.

If you're not a public speaker,
don't try to be one.

If you don't have a strong "circle of influence,"
don't think you're gonna get one by striking
up conversations with strangers in the mall.

If you're not a skilled marketer,
don't delude yourself into thinking
you're gonna get rich in business
without something changing.

Now, if you are skilled at any of the above,
go do it, because these methods do work.

But, if you're not...

And you try them anyway,
don't punish yourself if
they don't work out.

If you want to make money in ANY business,
you need to LEARN HOW.

And, teaching housewives how to
send spam is NOT a business.

The best way to make money in your
network marketing business is to
find someone who is already making
the kind of money you want to make...

And, is doing it in a way
that you could do it too.

And, is willing to teach you.

My point is this...

You get into a network marketing business
and you do not have success...

You think you "failed"...

But, nobody told you that you were really
going to be an unpaid and untrained
telemarketer...

Or, that you had to go to the mall
and hit on strangers...

Or that you had to (already be) be a
skilled 21st century Internet Marketer.

So, don't think YOU failed...

"Don't define yourself by what you're NOT."

You're NOT a telemarketer.

You're NOT gonna spend your nights and
weekends accosting strangers at the mall.

You're not (already) a skilled marketer.

But, you can connect with a skilled marketer.

Get someone that's doing what
you want to do to teach you
how to do it.

Then, you can have the success
that you want and deserve.

That is the solution.

The Next Billion Dollar Company

Why are just about all new MLM companies touted
as the "next billion dollar company"?

Does it really matter if the company
does a billion dollars or not?

Isn't the important question:

"How much are YOU gonna make?"

You can stay broke in a billion dollar
company just as easy as in a million
dollar company...

And, you can make great money in a
million dollar company just as easy as
you can in a billion dollar company...

Maybe easier.

So, when the guy calls you pitching
his "next billion dollar" company...

Ask him how much he's making.

Ask him what he's doing to get a piece
of that "billion dollar" company other
than calling up strangers with that
useless sales projection.

Living Foods Health Food Store

Living Foods carries SeaAloe
(the original Seasilver).

Living Foods
3033 Perkins Road
Baton Rouge, LA
(225) 346-1886

Living Foods Health Food Store
in Baton Rouge, LA was my first
local customer.

Living Foods is a landmark in Baton Rouge.

Family owned and operated...

Personal service...

They know your name.

That sort of "old-fashioned" stuff.

Living Foods has a LOT of loyal
customers that know them, like
them, and trust them.

Living Foods has customers that
I would never meet myself in two
lifetimes or more...

Customers that I would
never find myself.

People that want and need SeaAloe
but otherwise would not know where
to find it.

So Living Foods and I entered
into a WIN-WIN "partnership".

They have access to a great product.

And I have local customers that
I've never met and most likely
never will meet.

This is networking.

SeaAloe Distributor Finding People Interested In Worm Farms

Worm Farm Entrepreneurs

I'm getting hits every day on my blog from
people searching for worm farms.

This must be big business.

Are people searching for your business?

Why not?

Can they find you if they do search?

Why not?

Do you know how to get found?

Why not?

These are important questions if you
are serious about making money in
a business.

I suggest you start asking these questions,
and do something about the answers.

People find me if they search for SeaAloe.

They also seem to find me if they search for worm farms.

SeaAloe vs Worm Ranching

Does worm ranching provide passive
or residual income?

I don't know.

My SeaAloe business provides both
passive and residual income.

Passive income because I set it up
about a year ago and I still get
income from it without working in
it every day.

Residual income because I have
customers reordering and I get
paid every time they order.

Anyway, this is an update on
my worm farming post...

I have this thing on my blog,
I forgot what you call it...

Anyway, it provides analytics about
the visitors to my blog.

One of the things it tells me, is
what a person was searching
for when they landed on my blog.

Folks, I am here to report to you
that people ARE searching for
worm farming and worm ranching
information.

And, they are ending up on my site.

I do hope that one of those folks
will call me so that I can get an
update on the state of the
worm ranching industry.

A SeaAloe Push Button Business

Does your business let you get
paid at the push of a button?

If not, you're missing out.

People "push a button" and buy
SeaAloe from me every day.

They push a button, and I
get an email that says,

"Anna Montana placed a $100 order."

"Buckwheat Zideco placed a $300 order."

Then, every Wednesday, I get a
commission check in the mail.

No calling strangers and trying to sell
them something they don't want.

I don't know what kind of business
you're looking for...

But this is my kind of business.

It took a little time and money
to set it up about a year ago...

And now it pays me every week.

Kind of like building an apartment complex.

You plan it, then you build it...

Then you sit back and collect rent.

Do a little maintenance every once in a while...

If SeaAloe goes to direct deposit,
I won't even have to drive to the
bank to deposit my checks.

A very wise business man once said,

"Define your lifestyle and create a system
to earn enough money to support it."

I'm glad I listened...

Are you listening?

SeaAloe in Margaritaville

Want the Jimmy Buffet lifestyle?

Internet Marketing may be the answer.

It was for me.

Starting a business of your own today has
never been easier, cheaper or faster.

Setting up your own Internet-based SeaAloe
business is cheaper than setting up a snow
ball stand or buying the equipment to get
into the lawn mowing business.

And, your SeaAloe business has the
potential to generate life-changing
income.

What are some of the advantages of
setting up a SeaAloe business?

- Minimal start-up capital required

- Run it from anywhere

(I'm usually in a at the beach
or at a camp on the river.)

- No major technical skills or education required

(Heck, I'm as technology-challenged as
a person can be in this day and age.)

- Good credit not required

- You can be in business and generating
income in under an hour

- You can make money 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, even when you're
on vacation or sleeping

- You can run your entire business online

(My friends and neighbors think I'm
a drug smuggler or something...
I don't seem to work, am always traveling
and have plenty of money, lol.)

It doesn't get any better than this.

Your Product Costs Too Much

"Your product costs too much."

You ever notice who it is that
says that to you most often?

Who is it that thinks your
product costs too much?

I've been in the network marketing
industry for over 20 years...

I've built my businesses both ways -

Leading with the business, and

Leading with the product...

I have about 2,000 customers right now.

You know who it is that tells me
my product "costs too much"?

It's the MLMers.

Not the consumers.

The MLMers.

When you build your business focusing
on bringing in MLMers, your business
is built on shifting sand.

The MLMer doesn't want your product.

The MLMer wants to be a millionaire
without buying anything...

(Or doing anything for that matter.)

You can have the MLMers.

Give me a real customer any day.

A customer who wants my product
because it is a good product.

You can make money with MLMers.

Just always remember, the MLMers are
just passing through your business.

But your customers stay.

Want real residual income?

Customers create real residual income.

MLMers create temporary income, or at best,
"ongoing" income, but not residual income.

Do You Want To Make $10,000 in the Next 30 Days?

Do you get people calling you asking you that?

You ever ask them if they made
$10,000 in the last 30 days?

I had a guy call me just last night...

Used the Tracy Biller script right down
to the chuckle in the right place.

You know the script...

"Don't worry [chuckle] I'm not going
to bend your ear or try to sell you
anything..."

[Right, so why did you call?]

"If I could show you a way to make $10,000
in the next 30 days, could you make time
for a 45 minute conference call tomorrow"

I replied, "If you could show me you made
50 cents in the last 30 days I'll be on the call."

The guy goes, "Huh?"

I said again, "If you made 50 cents in
the last 30 days, I'll be on your call."

He says, "Well, the man doing the call
made a lot more than that."

I says,

"Then how are YOU gonna show me
how to make $10,000 in 30 days if
YOU can't make 50 cents in 30 days?"

People, do you GET IT?

And you actually wonder why
MLM has a bad name?

Make YOUR business work before you
make a fool of yourself like this guy did.

And so many more otherwise good people
do every night making these foolish calls.

You don't have to be making $10,000 a month...

You just have to have a product that
a few people will actually buy and
like enough to re-order.

That's all.

If you make 50 cents a month,
you're way ahead of the game.

I'm not kidding.

Once you get your business to break-even,
you have a legitimate business...

And, you can stay in the game, because
you're not going in the hole.

I have a SeaAloe business
that pays me very well.

The first thing I did when I got in business
was focus on getting some customers to
buy my order every month.

Then, I could focus on making $10,000+
a month because I wasn't going in the
hole every month and having a bunch of
product stacking up that my wife was
fussing about.

You can't make $10,000 a month until
you learn how to make $1 a month...

Just like you can't have an oak tree
until you first get an acorn...

And most people don't get married until
after they've had a first date.

This is not new information, folks.

It's even in the Bible...

Seed time and harvest.

Sowing and reaping.

If you just get this simple "how the
Universe works" principle, you can
make money...

(If you have a legitimate product.)

SeaAloe is an all natural whole food liquid
vitamins and minerals dietary supplement.

People actually buy it and re-order it.

You can make money with a product
that people re-order every month.

How much money do you think a guy makes
that calls up strangers trying to sell them a
"$10,000 in 30 days" pyramid scheme?

SeaAloe - you can sell this stuff.

Does Your Product Sell Itself?

Products don't sell themselves.

Advertising sells products.

Marketing sells products.

People sell products.

If you got into an MLM business because
they told you the product "sells itself"...

I already know how much money you're making.

NONE.

If you want to make money with a home based
marketing and distribution business, be sure
you get involved with a company like SeaAloe
and honest people that talk about marketing,
and not about products that "sell themselves."

If a product sold itself...

WHY would they need you?

SeaAloe is a product that
people WANT and BUY.

But, it still takes MARKETING
to get them to do it.

The truth on MLM is this:

You can get people to buy your
product "automatically"...

But, only after you set up
a marketing funnel for the
customers to flow through.

You're Asking the WRONG Questions

WRONG QUESTIONS:

The guy asks...

"How many milligrams are in your stuff?"

"What's your ORAC value?"

"Do you ship to Zimbabwe?"

(Like he knows anyone there.)

RIGHT QUESTIONS:

"Who's gonna buy this stuff?"

"How we gonna sell it to them?"

"Why will they buy it?"

"What's our sales process?"

You ask wrong questions,
you get wrong answers.

You ask the right questions,
you just might make some
money in this game.

SeaAloe Liquid Vitamins

Water Filters, Diet Pills, Phone Cards...

What do they all have in common?

HUGE companies and fortunes
were made RETAILING.

Herbalife
Metabolife
NSA
New Vision
Amway

Billion Dollar companies.

Success leaves clues.

Notice ALL the BIG network marketing
companies retail to the masses...

They all follow a timeless sales PROCESS:

Expose
Involve
Upgrade

Expose your customer to your product...

They will come to KNOW you,
LIKE you, and TRUST you.

Some will upgrade to auto-delivery.

Some will upgrade to part-time distributor

Some will upgrade to full-time distributor.

In MLM, there is usually never a sales process.

They quite often don't have a legitimate product
that will sell in the market place...

So, what are they selling?

A money game.

Otherwise known as a PYRAMID.
Network Marketing is a BUSINESS.
A real business has a real product
that real people buy because it
has value.

If you have a real product that has
real value, people will like it and
value it.

"It's easier to sponsor a happy customer
than to recruit a complete stranger."

Some will say, "Great vitamins,
can I make money selling them?"

This is network marketing.

This is a REAL BUSINESS.

What are you selling?

MLM or Network Marketing?

MLM

1. You join a "program"

2. You call up friends and strangers and pitch
them on getting rich in your new deal.

(You have NEVER personally sold any of your product
or even made a dime of profit, but the product "sells itself,"
"everybody needs it," so-and-so made $23,000.00 her
first month, and she's a 19 year old day care worker...)

NETWORK MARKETING

1. You buy in to a legitimate distributorship.

2. You learn how to market and make money
from someone who is actually doing it.

3. You get a few customers that
actually purchase your product.

4. You get into positive cash flow.

5. You begin recruiting a "sales force" of people
that want to make extra or full-time income with
a legitimate home-based business.

Think I'll go the Network Marketing route myself.

Katie Couric's "Recession"

Katie Couric wants you to think we're in a recession.

I guess it helps her sinking ratings.

We live in a GLOBAL ECONOMY now.

If one area is slow, go to another area.

Simple as that, if you own your own business.

If you don't own your own business,
start one today.

How to Set Up Your SeaAloe Business

1. Create a picture of what your business
will look like when it is finally done, set up
and running the way you want it to.

How will the business look?

What will the business do?

2. Focus on results, not on work.

The focus of a business is to free
the owner from working in it.
