Today, July 6th, Marci talked about all those digital dust-collecting bonus downloads and free products and how to put them to use building your list. Or for pulling profits from your list!

So, whether it’s an eBook, software, or service, if it’s valuable then use it as a free gift to entice new subscribers to your list. Or… if it’s incredibly valuable for the theme of your list AND you have resale rights, consider offering it as an extremely valuable and appropriately priced purchase. Marci went over a few scenarios on what to use and how to use it.

Today, June 22nd, Marci discussed personal and business (or Corporate) branding. Are you promoting you or your business? Your own photo and name OR a logo for your business? Most likely, if you own a site and are incorporated, then you’re branding with your logo. (You should be.) Otherwise, for affiliate (personal) branding, you should be branding your own face and name.

She also covered how your personal branding and your networking helps your affiliate business grow. Because the relationships that you build while branding and networking help you grow your personal affiliate business. (Nobody really makes it on their own if they are network marketing – and that’s what building downlines and building lists is all about!)

Listen to the rest here.

Today, Saturday June 8th, Marci talked about socializing and the value of doing it. Also, how to capitalize on seminars and other events. How do you socialize in skype rooms or in webinars/seminars? Online or offline? Do you speak their “language”?

This included your approach toward others in different scenarios and how it can turn people’s heads or turn them off. “So a Park Avenue Executive walks into a bar in Tennessee…” Want to know what happened? Can you guess? Listen to the recording…

Today (June 1) Marci discussed Consistency in all its splendor! She included items such as your email consistency — how often you mail, product price range consistency — keeping in the same general price range that you promote to your list, and consistent branding — how often you include branding in your promotions.

She took the topic right down to the nitty gritty of your business too. This covered consistent activity in your business — whether it be your blogging schedule, surfing schedule, mailing schedule, etc. And how’s this for consistency? Adding one new thing to do each day to keep things from getting too tedious or boring!

Today, May 25, Marci talked about managing your time. Some of the key topics were:

Checking your best/central email first thing each day to see what’s going on that day,

Seeing what mailers you have available to mail to each day (in VMP) and limiting your link clicking to those credit emails (and not falling behind on them else you’ll really be behind 1-2 days later),

and

Setting daily GOALS for each day’s schedule so you can see where to allocate your time.

Then she went into further details about managing your time based on how you, yourself, use your time now, based on your specific marketing needs, and managing it better.

Today, May 4, Marci talked about how to maintain your focus in your business. The first two main foci of attention being YOU and Your Sales/Marketing Funnel. Which she then went into deeper discussion on.

Next, Marci discussed your Advertising Focus. The number One focus here being on concentrating on advertising your marketing funnel and not being distracted by directly promoting parts of it. Also on choosing a funnel that fits what you are passionate about so you can convey that passion to your list. This also included emphasis on focusing on one list in the beginning and creating others as chains from your main list.
