Default Re: Turning Passive Income Streams Into Raging River

Richard -

> Chances are, this message won’t help you.

Well, it did and it didn't. Your concepts *can* be applied in some measure outside MLM. Those concepts are what a lot of affiliate programs are founded on. I may well offer an affiliate program once the products are done and selling well. But that's the issue. Getting the passive products done and feeding the bulldog at the same time. *g*

On some of your other points. I followed your link to your test ad.

1. I'm very much a student of marketing. While I'm not an MLM'er for many of the reasons you mentioned in your ad, I'm willing to learn from anyone who knows what they're talking about. It seems you know what you're talking about from this post and from what I've heard and seen elsewhere.

2. I didn't know you were the brains behind "Dead Doctors." Even though I'm not an MLM'er, I do know that "Dead Doctors" did very well.

3. I very much identified with your story about quitting the "rat race" and how it affected your family. I think mine has just begun to forgive me for some of what happened as a result of my business misadventures a few years ago. Plus we're just starting to get back some financial stability. That's why I want these income streams in place. I want to plant the money seeds and let them grow like Robert Allen suggests. I don't want to worry about them if one of the streams dries up. I want another one to immediately take its place.

3. A tiny constructive criticism about your test ad. I was reading along identifying very much with your story, (even though I'm not an MLM'er *g*), and all of sudden I hit a bump. Here's the text I tripped over.

(I surrounded your text with the =============.)

=================================================
So YOU need to be a product of your product, and so do your recruits. If your product doesn’t create passion, you won’t have a business for long, either.
=================================================

You had transitioned nicely into the "product for your product" section. That's when I hit the bump.
I could see no logical segue from the "product for your product" section into the RQ section. Maybe it was intentional on your part but it was a bit confusing to me. *g*

=================================================
Fighting A “Marriage-Killer”

Retire Quickly publishes an online course by a Chartered Financial Consultant, teaching business & personal finance management. Is it a product to get passionate about? You bet!

What’s more important? Taking the best Vitamin C … or avoiding money stress in business & personal life? Financial stress is the #1 marriage killer in America. Get the finances healthy & the family will be more healthy, too.
=================================================

Thanks for giving me some things to think about.

Rick Smith, "The Net Guerrilla"
