I am also a strong advocate of sticking to a plan, and not allowing the endless stream of bright lights and impressive audio/video presentations to distract you.

So I hope you will realise that I don’t say this lightly, flippantly or casually – but I am excited for a bunch of people I have known for some time now. Originally formed around a different network marketing business, they have recently started working with LHN International.

Now the reason I am excited for them is because they have been having almost zero resistance when they talk to people about this business, and people who genuinely deserve success have finally started making more money than they spend. OK, so we’re talking in the order of about a couple hundred bucks per month – but that’s something they can build on.

I didn’t really take much notice when a few people started telling me about LHN International. But as I heard more and more about it, I decided to take a look. Here’s what I found, and this explains why people are finding almost no resistance…

• There is no joining fee
• There is no annual distributor renewal fee
• The monthly purchase requirement is just $30
• There is a HUGE charitable aspect to the company

The products are fairly predictable – falling into the health and lifestyle category as so many of these things do. But if you want to make money, and take regular vitamin supplements, for example, then I would suggest that simply switching to LHN International will put you on a very good path.

Most people find the majority of MLM and network marketing businesses hard to talk about. What I am seeing with this is a very different proposition entirely. People are happily talking about LHN and finding others to be VERY responsive.

Could this turn into one of the great MLM success stories? I believe it will, and I am delighted with that thought. It sits very well with my own desires to see things work for the “little guys”.

LHN has also become a tiny bit more desirable as a business, because now you can join with ME as your sponsor – do you need to know any more than that?

Now I will say that the majority of online opportunities, MLM businesses and affiliate programs are fantastic; they offer a genuine opportunity to people who are willing to work to make changes in their lives. There ARE a few “bad apples”, and they really don’t help the reputation of online business at all.

In between those two extremes, you will find the majority of people; the business they are in IS a good one, but for some reason or other it never quite works for them. All too often they wind up in a never-ending cycle of putting their offers and opportunities in front of other people who are trying to do the same thing.

That’s partly the reason for the latest release from Avallach Technology; the pricing model, and the simple “1-tier affiliate” style commission structure create a product that is very easily marketed and sold by home business operators. The key difference is that the target audience is NOT other home business operators.

The way in which business is conducted is a welcome change from the endless round of affiliate links as well; the Partner Program is intended to foster old-fashioned customer service, with a genuinely personal touch. In fact, it is the personal touch aspect that lends itself to the home business environment, and enables people to carve out a position that helps them stand out from their competitors.

The service itself is unique, and is something that every small business should be investing in; web site creation and hosting.

Now before you run away, thinking you’re going to have to be a computer scientist… think again. The Express Webz service from Avallach blows away all the barriers and objections that the whole web hosting/design thing usually raises.

To start with, there are only two packages on offer instead of the huge array of options people are usually presented with. Both packages are built on the premise of “buy it and we do the work for you”. As for the pricing, well I don’t think there’s anything quite like this in the market place at the time of writing (in time, I think you can either expect plenty of copycat solutions, or a lot of people scratching their heads wondering how the prices can be so low!)

Now these are benefits to the actual clients; the people running small businesses. So how does this benefit the home business operator?

Express Webz has been designed from day 1 to offer a legitimate business opportunity for individual “work at home” enthusiasts (as well as a more traditional reseller channel). Instead of offering the usual “replicated site”, affiliate links and banners, Avallach operates an Express Webz Partner Program as a sort of umbrella for individuals who:

• Identify opportunities locally; networking, advertising or whatever methods suits them, and the small business scene in their area.
• Work with small businesses in their local area, providing hands-on assistance, advice and support to the small business owners.
• Refer their small business clients to the Express Webz site, where they purchase a package.
• Inform Avallach that they a client sale is from them, so that commissions can be organised.

Assuming the Partner will be working directly with their client, and with Avallach providing technical infrastructure and ongoing support to the Partner, 50% of all fees (initial and monthly recurring) are paid to the Partner.

This process actively encourages interaction between Client/Partner and Partner/Avallach. This helps reinforce the “personal touch” message, and drives a customer-focused delivery of services. Ultimately that is what it is all about and everyone benefits from working cooperatively.

It also means that the expertise is firmly placed where it needs to be; understanding of individual client needs, and creation of actual content sits with the Partner, the need to understand how web hosting works, what services need to be activated etc. lies with Avallach. What of the client? Well they get an entire technical team AND a personal consultant doing pretty much all the work for them, while they focus on their own business!

Perfect…

So what is WCFD all about? Well, in a nutshell, it is designed as a no-nonsense, cut-out-the-bull, introduction to and explanation of, EXACTLY how to make money online.

You see, while you’ve not exactly been lied to, it is likely that you are still no closer to success, even though you may have spent a lot of money and/or time trying to get there. In many ways it is NOT in other people’s interests for you to get there; think about it, would you buy their systems if you had?

That is the primary motivation for creating this short training course, packing in as much information as humanly possible, and showing you, the confused and success-hungry marketer, where you need to go, and how you should be going there!

So what qualifies me to teach this, you may ask, and rightly so. Well, to cut a long story short, I have probably made all the mistakes that you are currently making, or are due to make in the near future. I have spent countless hours, and a fair few dollars, trying to find the elusive “silver bullet”.

More importantly, as far as you are concerned, I have moved beyond all that, and can assure everyone that once you “get” it, you will wonder how you never worked it out before.

So here’s the “secret” – you never worked it out before because you were looking for a solution EXTERNALLY.

OK, so that’s a very quick overview of “why” – now here’s a very quick list of the “what”. A “table of contents” to the whole course (which will take about 31 days all up):

* Mindset
* Mistakes to Avoid (We’ve All Made Them)
* Organisation
* Personal Wellbeing
* Business Outline
* Posture and Positioning
* Front-end versus Back-end
* Creating Offers and Giveaways
* List Building
* Driving Traffic
* Maintaining Relationships
* Providing Value
* Affiliate Marketing
* Product Creation
* Network Marketing
* Putting It All Together

You might notice at this stage, that we don’t even touch on business stuff until the 5th item (approximately day 9).

There’s a very important reason for this, and that is the fact that your success has very little to do with what you do, it’s mostly about how you do it, how you approach it, and how you set the right conditions for success.

If that sounds a bit strange to you, don’t worry, it WILL make sense.

Congratulations once again, I truly hope for this information to be life-changing for you; if it is, let me know. If it isn’t you may not have read as far as this line.

All the very best in your personal endeavours.

We were planning on handing out cards to Manchester United fans on the night of the Champions League final, thus spreading the word about the supporters club we are building up in Perth.  Due to various circumstances I had forgotten about them, and left it too late. There were only a few working days left, with a weekend in the middle, local suppliers were quoting me 7 working days, and a company I had found via Google was quoting 5… Then I noticed something – they said that if the job was urgent, then go ahead, place the order, and then send them an email. Apparently this would lead to the job being flagged as urgent, and they could often get the business cards done in as little as 24 hours.

So I went for it – uploaded the graphic, set the text I wanted, and ordered 1000 cards for about 80 bucks. I sent the email, got a reply within half an hour (bearing in mind it was night time) saying the order would be watched through the process and shipped asap.

To cut a short-ish story even shorter… the cards arrived in Perth Wednesday morning, giving me a whole day to get them out to people who would help distribute them. I thought that was bloody fantastic – maybe it’s partly because there is so much BAD customer service out there, but the way this order was handled knocked my socks off. What’s amazing as well, when you think about it, by setting this sort of standard for themselves, this company can stand out from the crowd, and stand head and shoulders above the competition – that’s a pretty cheap and effective way of building business for sure.

So now, when I need to get cards done for Avallach Technology, guess where that order is going to? Guess where subsequent orders will be going to, and guess where I am referring anyone and everyone who needs business cards?

It’s not really that surprising – anyone who has put a business site online knows that traffic is the lifeblood, without which nothing happens.

There are hundreds if not thousands of ebooks and services for sale in places like ClickBank. There’s also a lot of free information out there if you look for it, and have the time to sift through the often-conflicting advice.

I myself spent a lot of time and money on various courses relating to different aspects of traffic generation; blogging, PLR articles for blogs, article submission, Google Ads, Squidoo Lenses and much more.

It all culminated in attending an online stream of a live seminar on the subject, presented by Traffic University. Now these guys charge a lot of money for their training, though everyone who does it says it is worth it. I personally was left wondering why someone doesn’t put together good quality training for the “little guy”. It’s all well and good thinking “I WILL one day spend 600 or 900 bucks per month on training” but what if your budget currently runs to a fraction of that?

So I was talking to the guy who urged me to view this seminar stream – we are colleagues on a business team, he supplies traffic expertise, and I provide technical knowledge – anyway, turns out he was already way ahead of me, and at that stage was building a training system geared towards the little guy. I swear right now, I have been hanging out for this stuff to go live ever since, have been using it since they first put a beta online, and happily upgraded to paid status when they launched. This really is quality stuff.

I should mention at this stage that he learned a lot as a paid member of Traffic University, but has also added to this knowledge through experience in various sectors.

What is really cool is that some of the key traffic information has been released as a set of free videos – why free? Well they are very confident in the quality of their work, and are equally confident that many people will eventually become clients. They are very honest and up-front about that – another refreshing difference in the approach!

The information itself will NOT do a thing for your business, your web site, or your web traffic logs. It does require a bit of time to work through the stuff, so even though the videos are free, you need to invest some of your time – or pay someone for their time to do pretty much the same thing.

The thing is, any business owner who takes on this task for themselves will learn an incredibly valuable skill, that they will be able to apply to any site, for any business. That’s priceless to be honest with you.

So if you need help and information regarding traffic, you really do need to at least check out the free content provided:

You WILL thank me for it, and you WILL thank J & C for it too.

All the best

It’s NOT about the business, let’s be honest you can pretty much join a business per minute for weeks on end, and still have more options open to you. What is more, is there much difference in any of the opportunities? Trust me on this, no there isn’t.

No, where CTWT is different, what CTWT offers that many can’t, is the team. If you’ve ever tried networking before, if you’ve ever felt abandoned by sponsors, if you’re wondering where and how you should go from here… you will be pleasantly surprised by the family feeling that CTWT offers.

Now, some may wonder why I am such a big supporter of CTWT, and why I donate my time on the technical stuff. The answer is simple, I truly believe that this approach to online business is a winner. The way that people band together, the way that you see people develop new skills, and the willingness of people to step up and do what is needed for everyone’s benefit – it is truly inspiring.

Who said that trying to secure a better future had to be selfish?

Oh and for those who are interested, the new commercial can be seen on the page I’ve completed today…

Currently free accounts are available via the partner signup page, but the main sign-up page will shortly be disconnected from the payment gateway.

This move will make the Express tools available to anyone trying to build an online business, enabling them to track their advertising, protect affiliate revenues, and organise their online activitites. All at no cost – which will be music to the ears of those with a limited budget.

Anyway, so I was thinking about maybe blogging on the subject, when lo and behold, one of my Facebook friends posted this link:
