How To Change People Without Offending them Or Arousing Resentment.

Begin with praise and honest appreciation. Call attention to people’s mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders. Let the other person save face. Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be “hearty in your approval and lavish in your praise.” Be a good example for the other person to live up to. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct. Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

6 Ways leaders can change someone's attitude or behavior:

1. Be sincere. Do not promise anything that you cannot deliver. Forget about the benefits to yourself and concentrate on the benefits to the other person.
2. Know exactly what it is you want the other person to do.
3. Be empathetic. Ask yourself what is it the other person really wants.
4. Consider the benefits that person will receive from doing what you suggest.
5. Match those benefits to the other person’s wants.
6. When you make your request, put it in a form that will convey to the other person the idea that he personally will benefit.

Don't forget to plug-in on Valentines,

How to win people to your way of thinking..


A message from...Cindy McAsey


Just Rise Above it...

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that,
but the really great people
make you feel that you too can become great." ~ Mark Twain

Get More Influence: How To Win People To Your Way Of Thinking.

Sometimes disagreements happen. The only way to get the best of a disagreement is to avoid it. Just take your mind outside of it an rise above it. Then show respect for the other person's point of view, never say... "your wrong."

If you discover you were mistaken admit it quickly and emphatically.

Begin in a friendly way, get the other person saying, "yes" "yes" immediately. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. Let the other person feel the idea is his (or hers). Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.

Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires. Make an appeal to greater motives. Dramatize your ideas, put some feeling in it. Then throw down a challenge.

There you have it a few more presentation points I'll be going into in detail on Valentines... Don't miss it!

Must Attend on Valentines(sneak peek now)


A message from...  Cindy McAsey

Tidbits are starting to escape.

The online gurus's have it all wrong. Oh yea they may be able to suck lots of folks in, but let's face it not everyone can be a guru so how are they going to help you with success? After all many times, their perceived success came from the look of a guru status online.

It's not about you it's about the people your connecting with. Discover people and what they want. Find out whats of value to them. It must be completely about others. Internally focus on personal development, and how to be emotionally intelligent. Hint: New Marketing is about relationships not the medium.

You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

I believe... People with passion can change the world for the better. I'm not necessarily passionate about physical products but what the product can bring to us and to the world. Passion will not protect us against set backs, but it will ensure no failure is ever final. So what is it your passionate about?

Wether you like it or not you are being judged by how well you communicate. Good Artists copy. Great Artists steal. I want you to steal some ideas here OK? Two people can see the same thing but interpret it differently based on their vision. Chances are your vision won't look like mine so your ideas will be different also.

That's it for today anyway. Don't forget to plug in on Valentines...

A message from...  Cindy McAsey


Join us for this Special Webinar Series starting on a Very Special Day... Valentines!!!

This series has been developed based on a survey of folks just like you and I. On this survey there was 156 questions asked.. such as, What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your income? Your Hobbies? Your ambitions? Your Problems? What subjects are you most interested in studying? And so on.

That survey revealed health is the prime interest and their second interest is people and get along with people; how make people like you; and how to win others to your way of thinking.

Many of you know I've become somewhat of an expert on healthy living and lifestyle, I've written so much content on health it will make your head spin.

Here's the deal this special Webinar series is all about their SECOND interest. So as my research continued I ran across a video featuring Warren Buffett where he gives his wise words of successful wisdom called,

"How to increase your income by 50%".

His words spoke to my heart & soul and I knew this was it. I've put together a series based on people, communication, Internet, influence, and leadership. OMG I get excited just thinking about it!

It's what you DO that makes a Difference

Most of us are alike in our Dreams. Most of us are alike in the promises we make. What sets us apart and makes each of us different is what we do.

Last week I was visiting with my Mom, she was sharing with me how her railroad retirement (much like Social Security for retired railroad workers and their families) didn't go up this year. According to the letter that she received their was no cost of living increase like they generally get on an annual basis. She said to me, "How can that be look at the price of gas from last year to this year." We had a long talk about the state of the economy today, I shared with her stories I had heard of folks loosing their disability. Folks getting hit with tax bills unexpectedly for small enough amounts it's not worth hiring someone to fight it so they just pay it or have it garnished from their bonus check.

George Washington once said, "Where are the men of abilities why do they not come forth and save this country."

Wether you want to admit it or not our country needs us the small business owner. It's the small business owner that has the ability to pull the country out of the mess we're in. It's what you do that makes a difference.

Teddy Roosevelt once said, "It’s not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; who’s face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly; so his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

Albert Einstein wrote 240 papers.. most were never referenced.
Thomas Edison filed 1039 patents.. we all relate the name "Edison" with the light bulb. It’s the quantity that leads to the quality... It's what you DO that makes a difference!

If you show what you've got to enough people you will get results.

The MOM Factor

At the base of your brain, where all the nerve endings come together to form your spinal cord, there is something about the size of your thumb called the Reticular Formation. This is a real physical, physiological thing. Part of the Reticular Formation is the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS has one job and one job only. Its job is to filter information; and it is superb at what it does. We are constantly exposed to, and bombarded by so much information, data, stimuli and even opportunities, that if we consciously tried to register it all, process it all and think about it all, we would literally go crazy. We would be in a constant state of "overload". So the RAS (which remember, is VERY good at what it does) constantly filters out "extraneous" and "superfluous" information and data. It's like a "Spam Filter" for your mind.

The crucial question then becomes: How does the RAS determine what it needs to filter out? The RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

  • 1. Is it my responsibility?
  • 2. Is it important?
  • 3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?
Whatever information, data or stimuli you are exposed to must satisfy all three questions. It's not the best two out of three. It is not a democracy or majority rules. It must satisfy ALL THREE criteria before the RAS will allow you to be aware of it - that includes any opportunities that you come across. Lets look at the first question the RAS asks to see why you may have blind spots and can't see opportunities that are all around you.

1. "Is it my responsibility"? - Have you ever gone someplace you've never been before, in an unfamiliar part of town, as a passenger in someone else's car? After you got there did you realize that you had absolutely no idea how to find your way home? It has probably happened to most of us. On the other hand, had you driven there yourself, would you have been able to find your way home? More than likely.

Why in the first case were you clueless, but in the second case you noticed the gas station on the corner, the white picket fence, the church steeple and all the other landmarks that would help you find your way out of there? Because, in the second case you knew you were responsible for getting there and back. However, in the first case you knew you weren?t responsible, so your RAS decided you didn't need that information, filtered it out and you never saw the important landmarks that could help you find your way home. The "Mom Factor"

I would like all of you mothers reading this to think back to when your first child was an infant (I'm sure the following was true of all of your children, but think especially of your first child). They were just old enough that they had graduated from the bassinet by your bed to their own crib, in their own room down the hall. The first few weeks do you remember how you would be sound asleep in the middle of the night, and out of a sound sleep, all of the sudden you knew that you had to be down the hall checking on your child. You don't know what you heard; you're not even sure that you had heard anything; you just knew you had to be there, and in a heart beat you are wide awake and at that child's bedside making sure that everything is OK.

It's the third time that night that you have been up to check on your child. As you return to your bed, you decide that it is important for your husband to know that THIS! - IS! - THE! - THIRD! - TIME! that you have been up to check on HIS! child. So, you THROW! yourself on the bed and JERK! the covers back over to you, just to make sure your husband appreciates that this is the THIRD! time you have been up ? and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. He never heard you get up, was never aware that you came back to bed, and never even felt you jerk the covers back over.

Now, in some of your homes, later that night, the family dog starts yapping in the back yard. Dad jumps out of bed, throws open the window, shouts at the dog to shut up, comes back to bed - and Mom sleeps through the whole thing. How is it that Mom can hear a virtually inaudible sleeping baby, but can?t hear barking dogs and Dad can hear dogs, but can't hear babies? It's simple ... in your home the roles have been defined such that Mom is responsible for the baby and Dad is responsible for the dog.

Your RAS will filter out any information that you are not responsible for and make you unaware of it.

I've often heard it said that wisdom comes with age. But, that is not true. The only thing that automatically comes with age - is old. That's all you get. Wisdom comes when you accept responsibility for your life. I know 80-year-olds with no wisdom and 18-year-olds with plenty. The difference is that the 18-year-old has accepted responsibility for their life and future, but the 80-year-old is still blaming everyone and everything around them for their stature in life.

All of us spend the first nine months of our lives on a waterbed. It is warm. It is cozy. All of our needs were met without us having to do a thing. Then we are born, the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped us on the rear end and then 95% of us spend the next 50 years of our lives looking around for someone else we can plug our umbilical cord into to take care of us. But, it's not someone else's responsibility. And until you take responsibility for your life and future, your RAS will make you blind to opportunities around you.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Shaklee 7 Day Detox Program

Shaklee 7 Day Detox Plan

Seven Days That Will Last a Lifetime

The following seven-day plan progresses gradually. It begins with two full days of a modified macrobiotic diet, then moves into three days of fruit only, then comes back to a more regular eating plan for the last two. Throughout, we eliminate caffeine, alcohol, refined sugar, dairy, and artificial foods altogether. There are no strict guidelines as to how much or when to eat; use basic nutritional principles to determine that for yourself.

Days One and Two:

Your diet for these two days should consist of organic fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and chicken, or fish. Modify these suggestions to accommodate your tastes:

Upon Awakening: One large glass of hot purified water with one half of a fresh lemon squeezed into it. You may add honey to sweeten if you wish. This tonic helps flush waste matter from your digestive tract and keeps your breath sweet.

Breakfast: Fresh fruit and freshly squeezed fruit juice, organic yogurt (if you eat dairy), chopped almonds to sprinkle in the yogurt or over sliced fruit, and as much herbal tea as you want. You can use a little honey for sweetener. Lunch: One serving of protein (tofu, fish, or skinless chicken Breast), steamed, poached or baked with no oil, and one serving of a whole grain (like brown rice, couscous, wild rice). One serving is equivalent to about the size of your fist. You may also have as much fresh vegetables and salad as you would like. You can use vinegar and lemon with one teaspoon olive oil for dressing and natural seasonings as you wish. Make lunch your largest meal. But remember, less is more (you detox better!). Snack: Any form of fresh fruit or vegetable. Dinner: One serving of protein as at lunch and one serving of a whole grain and one serving of a vegetable or a salad. Give yourself some variety from lunch. For dessert, you can either have fresh or baked fruit, or you can get creative and make naturally low-fat, whole grain, dairy-free desserts that you can get from any good vegan cookbook.

Supplements to Use:

Morning: Take One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex

Take 1 DTX
Take 5 Alfalfa
Noon: Take 1 DTX
Take 5 Alfalfa
Evening: Take 1 DTX
Take 5 Alfalfa
Take 2 Herb-Lax

Days Three, Four, and Five:

Here is when you enter your three-day fruit fast. It sounds hard, but after two days of already eating light, it won’t be as difficult as you think. You can have as much fresh, whole fruit or freshly squeezed juice as you want. Be creative! Instead of just eating an apple, or a pear, take the time to prepare a fruit salad that combines several kinds of fruit. Here are a few suggestions:

Mash up a few bananas and freeze them to make banana “ice-cream” Bake apples, using honey or cinnamon for flavoring.

Bake or poach pears and use honey or cider for sweetening.

Add cinnamon, vanilla flavoring and Shaklee protein (vanilla) to applesauce

Different fruit salads: berry salad (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries), tropical salad (pineapple, oranges, mango, banana—you have to sprinkle banana with a bit of lemon juice to keep it from browning), strawberry, kiwi, and grape salad…

Any kind of smoothie with protein in it

Remember, avocados and tomatoes are fruits, so you can use them to make soups, salads, guacamole, and so on. Or you can go to the health food store and buy a can of organic tomato soup (watch sodium count—500 or below). You can add a little tomato salsa or apple cider vinegar for flavoring.

Supplements to Use:

Morning: Take 1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
Take 2 DTX
Take 8 Alfalfa
Take 1-2 Herb-Lax
Noon: Take 2 DTX
Take 8 Alfalfa
Evening: Take 2 DTX
Take 10 Alfalfa
Take 2-4 Herb-Lax (depends on each individual—how much your body can handle
Take 1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex

Days Six and Seven:

For the last two days of your cleanse, you will go back to what you ate on Days One, Two and Three. However, it is very important that you remain conscious of what you are doing. Your system is cleaner and lighter than it was three days ago, so you will probably need less food than you think you do. Stay conscious and present to what your body needs.

In addition:

  • Exercise every day
  • Get good sleep (7-9 hours). Your body is going through and energetic process and needs to rejuvenate.
  • Do not deprive yourself of a meal or snack if you are hungry. Eating is necessary, natural and good for you. Your metabolism needs fuel. Don’t eat if you aren’t hungry, as this will defeat the purpose of becoming aware of your hunger patterns.
Supplements to Use:

Morning: Take One serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex
Take 2 DTX
Take 8 or more Alfalfa
Take 1-2 Herb-Lax
Noon: Take 2 DTX
Take 8 or more Alfalfa
Evening: Take 2 DTX
Take 10 or more Alfalfa
Take 2-4 Herb-Lax (depends on each individual—how much your body can handle
Take 1 serving of Optiflora Prebiotic and Probiotic Complex

Ending the Seven Day Detox

At the end of the seven days, do not break your detox fast foolishly. The minute they wake up on the eighth day some people rush right out to have something that has been off-limits. That is the worst thing you could do to your system. Your intestines can’t take that kind of shock. One of the keys to fasting properly is knowing how to break it wisely! Do this detox two-three times a year, whenever you feel you have gone off track or just need to do a little internal clearing.

6 Things You Should Know About Probiotics

Meet the good bacteria: Probiotics
Gary Huffnagle, author of "The Probiotics Revolution," offers these tips about how probiotics can be useful to you:

1. Traveling: To prevent diarrhea or constipation, take probiotics daily for two weeks before traveling. Though most should be refrigerated, some are fine if left un-refrigerated for about two weeks.

2. Stomach flus, viruses, colds: Any illnesses causing vomiting and diarrhea can be improved with probiotics. They'll cut down on sick time.

3. Food poisoning: Taking probiotics decreases chances of food poisoning.

4. Yeast infections: Probiotics help avoid them. If you get one, they help get rid of it more quickly.

5. Fibromyalgia: It seems this disease really does cause an increase in pain, Huffnagle says. But most people with fibromyalgia also have gastrointestinal problems. Consume more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and other foods that support probiotics and take a form of them daily.

6. Aging: Microflora change as people get older, causing them to be intolerable of foods they once loved or get colds and flu more often. Probiotics may reduce food sensitivities and frequent colds and respiratory issues.

Have you eaten your good bacteria today?

No, seriously. No matter how much you've been told to avoid bacteria at all costs by washing with antibacterial soap and cleaning products, some bacteria actually is good for you.

These friendly bacteria, probiotics, not only promote digestive health, they assist in nutrition absorption and enhance the immune system. Microbiologists say they actually prevent illnesses and disease.

"It's basically a revelation in medicine," says Gary Huffnagle, professor of internal medicine and microbiology at the University of Michigan medical school. "We always think microbes cause harm to our bodies. The story is a little more complicated than that. The amount of research on this is exploding."

What are probiotics?

More than being good for you, probiotics -- which already grow inside our bodies -- are powerfully important in disease prevention because the body's digestive system plays a starring role in the body's defense system. Huffnagle says scientific evidence shows taking probiotic supplements or eating foods containing probiotics every day will help knock out illnesses, and discomforts such as allergies, asthma and irritable bowel syndrome.

Processed food linked to lower kids' IQ's

Let's add this up: what does processed foods + artificial sweeteners+chemical additives =? The answer? Lower IQ in kids. A study of over 14,000 kids between 3-8 in the UK, found that those who ate more processed foods had lower IQ's. What an alarm bell for every parent -- let's keep our kids healthy!
If a 3-year-old eats too much processed food, it might lower his or her IQ by the age of 8, a new study suggests. Researchers in Britain tracked what 14,000 children ate and drank at the ages of 3, 4, 7, and 8. Read more

What's eating you Acid?

"What’s Eating You? Acid, That’s What!"

"Exclusive breakthrough reveals—dangerously high acid levels in your body may be the hidden cause behind many health problems.

For optimal health, your body needs at least 72 trace minerals every day to protect you from the ravages of high acidity... the foods you eat only give you about EIGHT of them".

The above is a quote from AOL. This is news? Or is it news? Today, flashing across your computer screen, often, it sounds as if some company has just discovered nature!

For my past several Years in Shaklee, when I have presented the values of our nutritional products, I have always started out with two factors. The first is: Improving your digestion will improve your health, and secondly, I feel it is important to address the topic of acid-alkaline balance.

At that time, I present our Shaklee Alfalfa. The typical diet in our country disrupts the acid-alkaline balance. Meats and grains, (the most frequent choice), are acid forming. We, Americans just do not eat enough veggies or green foods. Some references state the average vegetable is only ten to thirty units alkaline, whereas alfalfa is one of the very highest ranking alkaline foods. This factor is very important in maintaining healthy joints. You would have to consume a huge amount of veggies to equal the amount of alkalinity you will receive from alfalfa.

However, Just any alfalfa does not meet all the requisites. Shaklee Alfalfa is organically grown, using not the stems of the plant, but the tender green leaves. And the Shaklee process does not expose the nutrients to any degree of heat which would destroy the bio-availability, or as Dr Shaklee would refer to "the life force of the plant".

I remember Dr Shaklee, at one time said: "If I had to choose only one product, it would be Alfalfa." I think its is because alfalfa provides not only the important minerals and vitamins, but also the trace minerals not found in other foods, and it provides enzymes to aid in digestion and some protein and the important alkalinity.

Shaklee Alfalfa Testimonial: Forty years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis & bursitis. The doctors prescribed Darvon. I knew better than to take something that would merely address the symptoms of pain. I wanted to remove the cause, not the just the symptoms. At that time I had not heard about Shaklee. Fortunately, for me, someone I met casually, recommended Shaklee Alfalfa to me. She was not in Shaklee and I never saw her again. I wish I knew who she was so I could express my gratitude. Maybe that is one reason I find it so easy and practically essential to share the good news everywhere I go. We never know what a difference we may make in someone’s life.

It is important to remember, we never diagnose nor prescribe. Dr Shaklee said "When someone asks you what is good for arthritis, you could respond: You don’t want anything good for arthritis, you want something bad for arthritis and good for your body".

Another Dr. Shaklee quote: "We do not treat dis-ease we just treat the body fairly" Another favorite quote is in response to the question: How Many do I take? Dr Shaklee said "Do you count the peas on your plate, this is food."

"They aren’t pills, they won’t cure your ills, they’re just plain food, AND they will improve your mood". The point is we must emphasize wellness and prevention of disease with our food supplements.

Dr. gives the "Smart Idea" on HERBLAX after Colonoscopy

I agree with what you are saying about Dr. Shaklee and Herb Lax. Dr. Shaklee's basic 5 were: Vita-Lea; Protein; Vita C; Alfalfa; and HerbLax.

My elderly 89 year old father takes HerbLax daily and has for years and years -- I have been in Shaklee since 1978 recently he had a colonoscopy (just because they thought he should since he had not had one for years) I guess they thought he should have something wrong at his age, right.

During the procedure the doctor asked my dad--"Do you take Shaklee HerbLax?" "My dad said Yes, I do every day" (think he takes 2 or 4). Doctor said I thought so because the colon is a darker color. I have several other people with colons like yours and they all take Shaklee. Dad is getting worried, "Is it bad? "No," he said, "I wish all my patients had colons like yours--your colon is that of a 20 year old person, that is good, it couldn't be better."

So I guess this is living proof that Dr. Shaklee was right and knew what he was talking about. ~Sharon Rowe

As we roll into holiday cooking activities, I thought I would share with you a healthy nutritious snack that's fun to prepare with little ones.

The Healthy Christmas Snack Protein Balls

Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)

Basic Ingredients:
1 c. Natural Peanut Butter
1 c. Honey
1 c. Shaklee protein powder (cocoa protein powder makes the balls especially yummy) find at www.barefoot-mom.com
Add-In Ingredients (4 cups total, create your own combination!):
Sunflower seeds
Peanuts
Chocolate chips
Granola
Oatmeal
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Oat bran
Wheat germ
Flax seed (ground or whole)

Directions:
Mix together the basic ingredients in a large bowl: peanut butter, honey, and protein powder. Add 4 cups total of the add-in ingredients. (Peanuts, oatmeal, and chocolate chips are a delicious classic.)

The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you don’t want them to be so sticky that they won’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry.

Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.
~Pop a couple throughout the day when you feel concentration and motivation are low~

How to Reduce Stress during the holidays

Let's face it life can be very stressful especially during the holidays. If you’re an American between the ages of 18 to 49, there's a 1-in-2 chance that you experience everyday stress. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 75-90% of all doctor visits are stress-related. It’s important to find a healthy way to deal with stress.

Health professionals agree that stress has health consequences. The body's natural stress response, or what we used to call the "fear, fight, and flight response," was originally designed for survival. For example, if a lion were chasing you, your stress response would kick in and prevent you from becoming the lion's dinner.

But today, we are no longer faced with that kind of stress. Instead, we are exposed to stress daily, such as financial hardships and raising a family while working full time. Unfortunately, regardless of the type of stress, our bodies react in the same way. This is a problem because our stress response was not meant for dealing with today's everyday stresses. As a result, our stress response can cause more harm than good. If every day is an emergency, your health can end up paying a price.

The good news, however, is that stress is manageable.

There's no one best way to reduce stress, but here are some thoughts. Continue to eat well, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly. If you haven't tried it yet, Shaklee Stress Relief Complex is designed to promote a tranquil state of well-being and help relieve feelings of stress. It contains L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea and studied for its effect on brain waves associated with a relaxed state; betasitosterol, found to blunt one of the stress hormones; and L-Tyrosine, an amino acid used to make a brain chemical that may become depleted from exposure to everyday stress. It also contains ashwaganda, a traditional, Ayurvedic herbal adaptogen.

Seek emotional support from a trained therapist or trusted friend. Just having someone to talk to about your frustrations or worries can help. Regular exercise is important. Try something new, like yoga. Yoga uses deep breathing and relaxation techniques that are helpfulfor coping with stress. Remember to keep things in perspective. Chances are, the stressful feelings you have will pass when the season passes.

Barefoot Health Living - Ideas for a Healtier You

Didn't find the time to workout today?

Here's an idea for you to give your body the benefits of excercise.

Start your day with a 10-minute walk. Then grab three more 10-minute walking breaks throughout the day. Research shows that grabbing 10 minutes here and there could provide you with even better control over your blood pressure than if you'd slogged your way through a single 40-minute treadmill session.

When people with prehypertension -- that's systolic blood pressure of 120-139 or diastolic blood pressure of 80-89, or both -- were asked to walk briskly for 40 continuous minutes or for 10 minutes once per hour over a stretch of 4 hours, their blood pressure benefited most from the accumulated walking stints. The shorter walks reduced people's systolic pressure (that's the upper number) for 11 hours after the accumulated walks compared to only 7 hours for the continuous walk. Their diastolic pressure (the bottom number) was lower for 10 hours after the accumulated activity as opposed to only 7 hours for the continuous activity.

Good news if you're struggling to fit exercise into an already jam-packed day. Just grab a quick walk around the block in the morning, in the office parking lot during lunch, at the grocery store on your way home, and around the block again when you get there. You're done. And your heart is healthier.

All forms of exercise are good for lowering blood pressure; so are losing weight and eating a heart-healthy diet. Do all three...exercise, lose weight, and eat right... and you'll substantially reduce your risk of strokes and heart attacks.

Did you know cinnamon has health benefits?

If you spice up your diet with cinnamon it may help regulate your blood sugar. Early research has found people with diabetes who eat three-eighths of a teaspoon a day have better blood sugar levels after a little over a month.

So... how does cinnamon work its magic?

Researchers aren't sure yet. It's possible that something in cinnamon helps make insulin receptors more sensitive. Isn't it amazing what nutrients we have available on this earth to help keep our bodies in top shape.

The key is research.

I truly believe everything we need to keep our bodies healthy can be discovered in nature. I'm so proud to be associated with a company who has invested over 300 million to research and development of natural subsustances to prevent disease.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Healthy Aging

This is a testimony from Jan C.
My husband Jim called today after meeting with his lipid specialist in Minneapolis. Once again his cholesterol numbers have significantly dropped! At the time of his cardiac arrest 20 years ago, his cholesterol was over 400. For years the number gradually went down. Two years ago it was 179 and last year, after a year of being on Vivix, it was 138. That's when his statins were cut in half. Today Jim's total cholesterol is 97.

Jim has struggled with the LDL (bad cholesterol) the most. He has a genetic condition that causes his body to produce too much of it. Originally the LDL was 240. For years he worked to get it to 140 and then to 120. It needed to be less than 100. After a year and a half on Vivix, it dropped to 90. Today it was 58 !!!!!

Jim's doctor made this comment: Nobody wants to deal with the problem. They just want to take a pill to have it go away. When that doesn't happen they get upset." He and his office staff consider Jim their poster child. Jim complies and does what's needed to be healthy, and we support him.

What Jim does each day:

1. Takes Vitalizer, Vivix, Nutriferon, CoQHeart, Liver DTX Complex, and Joint Health Complex (had me order the new Cholesterol Reduction Complex right away, too!)

2. Runs 5 miles (has never missed a day of running in 20 years)

3. Drinks tea instead of coffee (Was addicted to coffee but switched to tea several years ago and dropped 30 points off his cholesterol total)

4. Is his own boss - so he can run and rest as needed (Quit a 20 year corporate job at time of cardiac arrest 20 years ago and located his office at home)

5. Makes decisions that eliminate as much stress as possible from his day.

Our youngest son Matt was 2 when Jim had the cardiac arrest. He got married on June 11 this summer. Twenty years ago, I never imagined that with 3 arteries 100% blocked and the 4th blocked 70%, that Jim would even live to see his youngest son grow up. It's good to note, too, that our three sons and I have supported all of Jim's efforts, and as a result we are healthier ourselves. Our family experience is proof that great health is primarily in the hands of the individual and the choices he or she makes. We've always chosen Shaklee nutrition, for example, and that has paid off royally for us. ~Jan

Barefoot Healthy Living - Landmark Study

Here's another example of better health than would be predicted from family history with a good diet and supplementation. The way I look at it.. this is the individual expression of the Landmark Study results.

In case you haven't seen it, below is a summary of the Landmark Study that highlights some of the easiest results for people to relate to.

Here's an idea... When talking with people about their health, show them this summary, and ask, "How much would it be worth to you on a daily basis to get those results in your life?" It helps people think about all the things they spend money on that don't contribute to a significantly improved state of health, avoid suffering and cost of degnerative diseases. Great stuff we have with Shaklee!

by Mary Litschewski..

I spent Thursday night in the ER and was admitted for tests. I thought I might be having a stroke, due to dizziness and also had tightness in my chest.

At 61, I have survived my Dad (who died at 55 after 5 heart attacks). My Mom died at 66 of heart disease and my brother had bypass surgery at 42. Now 65, he has had numerous stents and is on a double dose of Crestor.

I believe that, thanks to taking Shaklee for 33 years, my tests came out normal. My carotid arteries are clear. More tests to come, but 5 years ago, a cardiac angiogram showed CLEAR arteries in my heart, too (at age 56).

My brother and sister are diabetic (as was my mom and Grandmother). I am not!

Perhaps a heart healthy diet and moderate exercise helped, but I'm sure that the supplements have played a big part!

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do you know what you really want?

Reticular Activating System (RAS) is like a spam filter for your mind. RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

  1. Is it my responsibility?
  2. Is it important?
  3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?
The first question and more information about how your RAS works.

The second question the RAS continually asks to determine whether or not it will allow you to be aware of the opportunities around you is: Is it important?

The only way your RAS will know what is important is if you tell it exactly what is important.You must have clear, specific, vivid and measurable goals. Make no mistake. Setting goals is one of the most crucial steps to creating a better or different future than you are currently headed for.

Do you know what you really want?
Have you gotten to this point in your life and noone has asked you what is important to you? Have you ever written down what is most important to you? Many times folks will spend more time planning a one week vacation then they will planning their lives. No wonder they are stuck. No wonder things never seem to get much better. Telling the RAS what is important begins with knowing what it is you want.

Get Specific
If you want to set goals that really affect your behavior and cause change, they must be clear, specific, vivid and measurable. The fifth law of behavior says, "Your self-image can be changed by clear, specific, vivid, emotional experiences and/or repetition, whether real or imagined." For your RAS to open up to opportunities around you, you must tell your subconscious minds exactly what you want, because RAS will settle for anything that works! This means that if our goals are vague, general, or fuzzy the RAS will shut down the minute anything satisfies what you have told it.

For example, suppose your goal is you want "more money". You find a $5 bill lying on the ground and your RAS says, "All right! I met that goal, so I don't need to see any more opportunities in the money arena." You see, the $5 bill is "more money" than you had before. On the other hand, if you specify exactly (measurable) how much more money you want (say, $2500 per month), then your RAS doesn't shut out opportunities until you have reached the specific amount that you want.

What if your goal is "to spend more quality time with my kids?" Any extra time you spend would satisfy that goal so that just an additional two minutes a day would be enough for you to quit looking for and seeing opportunities to spend time with your kids. Better that you set your goal as "I will spend a minimum of 20 minutes each day, with each of my children, engaged in conversation one-on-one with no TV or other distractions in the room" (clear, specific, vivid, measurable!).

It's not a good idea to be like the person that says, "I always wanted to grow up to be somebody. I guess I should have been more specific." If you don't know where you are going, you are already there!

DO YOU NEED SHAKLEE HERB-LAX? YOU BE THE JUDGE...

It has been known by the natural healing profession for many years, and is recently being validated by the medical physicians, that well over 90% of degenerative disease conditions can be related directly to intestinal stasis — that is, a stagnant, fermenting condition within the bowels and related organs. This does not necessarily correspond to actual known constipation. A person can move his bowels many times a day, and still be encumbered with dead cells, decaying food materials, poisonous chemicals, parasites, pus, mucus, etc., all of which contribute to the circulation of toxins throughout the whole body, giving rise to an endless chain of “disease” conditions.

These facts should be taken into consideration when nutrition programs and vitamin therapy are introduced for the first time. The proper body’s response to a proper nutrition program is to start releasing stored toxins from the cells and this puts more stress on organs of elimination (colon, kidneys, lungs, liver, blood, and skin) which are already malfunctioning from past intake of drugs, additives, and refined, processed and overcooked foods. The result of this could be symptoms of nausea, weakness, headaches, rashes, and tiredness. To prevent this from happening, Dr. Shaklee has made HERB-LAX, a combination of nine different herbs that help detoxify the body through better, more complete, elimination.

It is important to understand that herbs are not in any way related to the artificial colon—cleansers promoted by television. Herbs do not act like ordinary laxatives that irritate the tissues and force the bowel to eject its contents. This weakens the organs and causes dependencies. But herbs, being a food, nourish the bowel and related organs to strengthen them so that they will function entirely on their own, effectively eliminating waste materials.

It is hard to say how many HERB-LAX an individual should use, since each person differs. Choose the dose that gives you two to three soft, easy bowel movements daily. This can range from one half to 30 per day ( in the case of Diverticulitis). Those who are faithful in using HERB-LAX for internal cleanliness will get surprising good side effects as days, weeks and months go by. These include a better complexion, no headaches, no bad breath, little odor during bowel movements, plus more energy and clearer thinking.

Herb Lax®
One cannot study the Shaklee product Herb-Lax® without gaining a profound respect for our founder Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr.

What an amazing mind he had to conceive such a product at the time he did. Remember, interest in herbal medicines had waned considerably during the middle of the last century. Herb-Lax was the second product he developed, and it has truly withstood the "test of time" remaining one of Shaklee's favorite products. Dr. Shaklee knew that proper elimination of waste from the bowel is one of the keys to optimal health.

It is said that 90% of degenerative diseases are related to, or worsened by, the food we eat passing too slowly through our intestinal system. The fact that Herb-Lax® contains Senna leaf powder and is therefore a laxative is a no-brainer. Practically everyone in the medical or herbal community would understand that. What Dr. Shaklee did to make his signature product unique was to blend an additional eight herbs with the Senna leaf powder to enhance its intended use - that being to speed up the movement of foodstuffs through the intestinal system. He was able to accomplish this without the usual unwanted side effects of taking a laxative. Another great consideration about this product is that the label states a serving size of four tablets. That would indeed cause a gentle bowel movement within several hours. I think it is interesting to note that by taking less than the serving size, one can effectively speed up the flow of food and waste through the intestinal tract without causing diarrhea.

Why does it work the way it does? Certainly, several of the herbs contained in this product produce a laxative action. In addition to the aforementioned Senna leaf powder, buckthorn bark powder, licorice root, blue malva powder, and culver root have shown some laxative action.

They do, however, along with the other herbs present, fulfill other functions within the GI tract to complete the action. For example, licorice root, alfalfa, fennel seed and anise seed aid in digestion. Licorice root also reduces the production of stomach acid (good for heartburn?); and relieves gas, as does anise seed. Anise seed also acts to relieve stomach cramps. Rhubarb is unusual in that in can cause a laxative effect, and it has the opposite effect in small doses!

SHAKLEE Herb-Lax

Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative for Occasional Irregularity. Notes in FROM THE FIELD

“Herb-Lax is one of SHAKLEE’s most popular products. Why? Because it gives gentle relief in those who are troubled by constipation and gastric distress. It’s not only gentle; it’s safe, too, cleansing the entire system of toxins without being toxic or harmful itself. The nine herbs in SHAKLEE Signature Formula Herb-Lax Laxative are effective, yet do not damage the sensitive cilia (constantly moving hair-like structures lining the intestinal tract) as chemical laxatives can.

“Constipation and irregularity are a curse of our modern diets. Both contribute significantly to toxic buildup in the blood and lymphatic system. When irregularity or constipation occur, it’s time for Herb-Lax.

“Herb-Lax contains the herb senna leaf (Cassia angustifolia), which has been used as an herbal laxative for more than 3,500 years. Senna has two actions. It triggers the secretion of fluids into the colon, which causes stools to be softer and easier to eliminate. It also stimulates contraction of muscles within the colon to promote elimination.

“Herb-Lax specifically targets irregularity and constipation due to travel, illness, medications you may be taking, or a change in diet. Herb-Lax can be used when beginning a detoxification or colon cleansing program. Herb-Lax was originally formulated by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. Herb-Lax encourages a mild cleansing action to aid the body’s natural processes.” FROM THE FIELD

The label says that 4 tablets may be taken once or twice a day for occasional irregularity.

1. Did you know that diarrhea is just another form of constipation? Therefore, you can use Herb-Lax to help when you have diarrhea, too, though that seems counter-intuitive. Nedra Sahr, nutritionist, points out: the circular muscles around the large intestines are supposed to contract rhythmically to push the feces along the length of the colon to the rectum… If the contractions are too strong and working too fast, the result is diarrhea. Lots of valuable nutrients are lost because there' s not enough time for them to get absorbed. If the contractions are too slow, minerals have time to bind with fats, and create hard stool that leads to constipation.

2 Current research says FIBER is the “daily laxative”. We ought to be getting in 25-30 grams of fiber from all sources every day to give bulk enough that contractions are stimulated. “Normal” is 2-3 bowel movements daily. Did you know that most of us get in only about 13 grams of fiber daily? That’s not surprising when you realize that a slice of WHOLE wheat bread is only 1.60 grams, and an apple 1.06 grams. If we eat a lot of meat (no fiber), cooked veggies (weakened fiber), processed foods (no fiber), dairy (no fiber), sugar and white flour (no fiber)…then we’re a long way from colon health. No wonder colon cancer is on the rise; too many toxins stay in, putrefy, and get reabsorbed. Adding one of SHAKLEE’s easy-to-take fiber supplements may literally save your life.

3. Many SHAKLEE people have increased their daily dietary fiber, but still safely take 1-2 Herb-Lax every night. They feel since it’s Dr. Shaklee’s formula, it’s good for more than its laxative properties. They know the other 8 herbs heal and tone the colon, Carol Robins Dalton, NP, says, Herb-Lax cleanses and purifies the blood, too. Herb-Lax users report clear skin, vigor, regularity, and great health.

4. But Nedra Sahr also cautions that there are so many people who have inflamed bowels these days that not everyone can use it as a 10-day cleanser before they start a nutrition program, nor as a daily-use product. She says YOU DON'T WANT TO EXERCISE INFLAMED TISSUE on a daily basis. Instead, she says that the place to start is with OPTIFLORA, fiber, and water instead of Herb-Lax, as you work to heal the inflammation. (Those with inflammation might need it for occasional constipation, as the gentlest and most effective laxative product on the market, and that’s fine.)

NOTE ABOUT SHAKLEE HERBAL MEDICINES OTC (over the counter) medicines provide safe and effective self-medication, and should be used only as directed.

THE MOM FACTOR

At the base of your brain, where all the nerve endings come together to form your spinal cord, there is something about the size of your thumb called the Reticular Formation. This is a real physical, physiological thing. Part of the Reticular Formation is the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS has one job and one job only. Its job is to filter information; and it is superb at what it does. We are constantly exposed to, and bombarded by so much information, data, stimuli and even opportunities, that if we consciously tried to register it all, process it all and think about it all, we would literally go crazy. We would be in a constant state of "overload". So the RAS (which remember, is VERY good at what it does) constantly filters out "extraneous" and "superfluous" information and data. It's like a "Spam Filter" for your mind.

The crucial question then becomes: How does the RAS determine what it needs to filter out? The RAS is constantly asking three questions in order to decide what you need to know and be aware of:

  • 1. Is it my responsibility?
  • 2. Is it important?
  • 3. Does it match my version of'the truth'?
Whatever information, data or stimuli you are exposed to must satisfy all three questions. It's not the best two out of three. It is not a democracy or majority rules. It must satisfy ALL THREE criteria before the RAS will allow you to be aware of it - that includes any opportunities that you come across. Lets look at the first question the RAS asks to see why you may have blind spots and can't see opportunities that are all around you.

1. "Is it my responsibility"? - Have you ever gone someplace you've never been before, in an unfamiliar part of town, as a passenger in someone else's car? After you got there did you realize that you had absolutely no idea how to find your way home? It has probably happened to most of us. On the other hand, had you driven there yourself, would you have been able to find your way home? More than likely.

Why in the first case were you clueless, but in the second case you noticed the gas station on the corner, the white picket fence, the church steeple and all the other landmarks that would help you find your way out of there? Because, in the second case you knew you were responsible for getting there and back. However, in the first case you knew you weren?t responsible, so your RAS decided you didn't need that information, filtered it out and you never saw the important landmarks that could help you find your way home. The "Mom Factor"

I would like all of you mothers reading this to think back to when your first child was an infant (I'm sure the following was true of all of your children, but think especially of your first child). They were just old enough that they had graduated from the bassinet by your bed to their own crib, in their own room down the hall. The first few weeks do you remember how you would be sound asleep in the middle of the night, and out of a sound sleep, all of the sudden you knew that you had to be down the hall checking on your child. You don't know what you heard; you're not even sure that you had heard anything; you just knew you had to be there, and in a heart beat you are wide awake and at that child's bedside making sure that everything is OK.

It's the third time that night that you have been up to check on your child. As you return to your bed, you decide that it is important for your husband to know that THIS! - IS! - THE! - THIRD! - TIME! that you have been up to check on HIS! child. So, you THROW! yourself on the bed and JERK! the covers back over to you, just to make sure your husband appreciates that this is the THIRD! time you have been up ? and your husband sleeps through the whole thing. He never heard you get up, was never aware that you came back to bed, and never even felt you jerk the covers back over.

Now, in some of your homes, later that night, the family dog starts yapping in the back yard. Dad jumps out of bed, throws open the window, shouts at the dog to shut up, comes back to bed - and Mom sleeps through the whole thing. How is it that Mom can hear a virtually inaudible sleeping baby, but can?t hear barking dogs and Dad can hear dogs, but can't hear babies? It's simple ... in your home the roles have been defined such that Mom is responsible for the baby and Dad is responsible for the dog.

Your RAS will filter out any information that you are not responsible for and make you unaware of it.

I've often heard it said that wisdom comes with age. But, that is not true. The only thing that automatically comes with age - is old. That's all you get. Wisdom comes when you accept responsibility for your life. I know 80-year-olds with no wisdom and 18-year-olds with plenty. The difference is that the 18-year-old has accepted responsibility for their life and future, but the 80-year-old is still blaming everyone and everything around them for their stature in life.

All of us spend the first nine months of our lives on a waterbed. It is warm. It is cozy. All of our needs were met without us having to do a thing. Then we are born, the doctor cut the umbilical cord, slapped us on the rear end and then 95% of us spend the next 50 years of our lives looking around for someone else we can plug our umbilical cord into to take care of us. But, it's not someone else's responsibility. And until you take responsibility for your life and future, your RAS will make you blind to opportunities around you.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Do cleaning products cause breast cancer?

Women who report greater use of cleaning products may be at higher breast cancer risk than those who say they use them sparingly. Researchers writing in BioMed Central’s open access journal Environmental Health asked more than 1500 women about their cleaning product usage and found that women who reported using more air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control had a higher incidence of breast cancer.

Julia Brody, from the Silent Spring Institute, USA, worked with a team of researchers to carry out telephone interviews with 787 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 721 comparison women. She said, “Women who reported the highest combined cleaning product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the lowest reported use. Use of air fresheners and products for mold and mildew control were associated with increased risk. To our knowledge, this is the first published report on cleaning product use and risk of breast cancer.”

The researchers questioned women on product use, beliefs about breast cancer causes, and established and suspected risk factors. They found that cleaning products, air fresheners, and insect repellents were associated with breast cancer, but little association was observed with overall pesticide use.

Women with breast cancer who believed that chemicals and pollutants contribute ‘a lot’ to the risk of developing the condition were more likely to report high product usage. Speaking about this potential bias to the study, Brody said, “When women are diagnosed with breast cancer, they often think about what happened in the past that might have contributed to the disease.

As a result, it may be women with breast cancer more accurately recall their past product use or even over-estimate it. Or, it could also be experience with breast cancerinfluences beliefs about its causes. For example, women diagnosed with breast cancer are less likely to believe heredity contributes ‘a lot’, because most are the first in their family to get the disease.”

In order to avoid possible recall bias, the researchers recommend further study of cleaning products and breast cancer using prospective self-reports and measurements in environmental and biological media.

It's a fact of the natural healing profession for many years, and is recently being validated by the medical physicians, well over 90% of degenerative disease conditions can be related directly to intestinal stasis meaning, a stagnant, fermenting condition within the bowels and related organs. This does not necessarily correspond to actual known constipation.

Someone can move his bowels many times a day, and still be encumbered with dead cells, decaying food materials, poisonous chemicals, parasites, pus, mucus, etc., all of which contribute to the circulation of toxins throughout the whole body, giving rise to an endless chain of disease conditions.

These facts should be taken into consideration when nutrition programs and vitamin therapy are introduced for the first time. The body’s response to a proper nutrition program is to start releasing stored toxins from the cells and this puts more stress on organs of elimination (colon, kidneys, lungs, liver, blood, and skin)

Many times these organs are already malfunctioning from past intake of drugs, additives, and refined, processed and overcooked foods. The result of this could be symptoms of nausea, weakness, headaches, rashes, and tiredness.

To prevent this from happening, Dr. Shaklee invented HERB-LAX, a combination of nine different herbs that help detoxify the body through better, more complete, elimination.

It is important to understand that herbs are not in any way related to the artificial colon—cleansers promoted online or in other media. Herbs do not act like ordinary laxatives that irritate the tissues and force the bowel to eject its contents This weakens the organs and causes dependencies. But herbs, being a food, nourish the bowel and related organs to strengthen them so that they will function entirely on their own, effectively eliminating waste materials.

It is hard to say how many HERB-LAX an individual should use, since each person differs. Choose the dose that gives you two to three soft, easy bowel movements daily. This can range from one half to 30 per day (in the case of Diverticulitis).

Those who are faithful in using HERB-LAX for internal cleanliness will get surprising good side effects as days, weeks and months go by. These include a better complexion, no headaches, no bad breath, little odor during bowel movements, plus more energy and clearer thinking.

You can hardly study the Shaklee product Herb-Lax® without gaining a profound respect for our founder Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. What an amazing mind he had to conceive such a product at the time he did. Remember, interest in herbal medicines had waned considerably during the middle of the last century.

Shaklee Herb-Lax was the second Shaklee product developed, and it has truly withstood the "test of time" remaining one of Shaklee's favorite products. Dr. Shaklee knew that proper elimination of waste from the bowel is one of the keys to optimal health. It is said that 90% of degenerative diseases are related to, or worsened by, the food we eat passing too slowly through our intestinal system.

The fact that Herb-Lax® contains Senna leaf powder and is therefore a laxative is a no-brainer. Practically everyone in the medical or herbal community would understand that. Dr. Shaklee made his signature product unique by blending an additional eight herbs with the Senna leaf powder to enhance its use - to speed up the movement of foodstuffs through the intestinal system.

DR Shaklee was able to accomplish this without the usual unwanted side effects of taking a laxative. Something to consider is the label states a serving size of four tablets. That would indeed cause a gentle bowel movement within several hours, by taking less than the serving size, you effectively speed up the flow of food and waste through the intestinal tract without causing diarrhea.

Why does herblax work the way it does? Certainly, several of the herbs contained in this product produce a laxative action. In addition to Senna leaf powder, buckthorn bark powder, licorice root, blue malva powder, and culver root all have shown some laxative action.

They do, however, along with the other herbs present, fulfill other functions within the GI tract to complete the action.

For example, licorice root, alfalfa, fennel seed and anise seed aid in digestion. Licorice root also reduces the production of stomach acid (good for heartburn?); and relieves gas, as does anise seed. Anise seed also acts to relieve stomach cramps. Rhubarb is unusual in that in can cause a laxative effect, and it has the opposite effect in small doses!

Bottom Line: DR Shaklee knew what he was doing by combining all these natural herbs into one fantastic product called HERBLAX. Today it's still one of our best selling products. Why because it flat out works and it's very cost effective.

What's eating you Acid?

"Exclusive breakthrough reveals—dangerously high acid levels in your body may be the hidden cause behind many health problems.

For optimal health, your body needs at least 72 trace minerals every day to protect you from the ravages of high acidity... the foods you eat only give you about EIGHT of them".

The above is a quote from AOL. This is news? Or is it news? Today, flashing across your computer screen, often, it sounds as if some company has just discovered nature!

For my past several Years in Shaklee, when I have presented the values of our nutritional products, I have always started out with two factors. The first is: Improving your digestion will improve your health, and secondly, I feel it is important to address the topic of acid-alkaline balance.

At that time, I present our Shaklee Alfalfa. The typical diet in our country disrupts the acid-alkaline balance. Meats and grains, (the most frequent choice), are acid forming. We, Americans just do not eat enough veggies or green foods. Some references state the average vegetable is only ten to thirty units alkaline, whereas alfalfa is one of the very highest ranking alkaline foods. This factor is very important in maintaining healthy joints. You would have to consume a huge amount of veggies to equal the amount of alkalinity you will receive from alfalfa.

However, Just any alfalfa does not meet all the requisites. Shaklee Alfalfa is organically grown, using not the stems of the plant, but the tender green leaves. And the Shaklee process does not expose the nutrients to any degree of heat which would destroy the bio-availability, or as Dr Shaklee would refer to "the life force of the plant".

I remember Dr Shaklee, at one time said: "If I had to choose only one product, it would be Alfalfa." I think its is because alfalfa provides not only the important minerals and vitamins, but also the trace minerals not found in other foods, and it provides enzymes to aid in digestion and some protein and the important alkalinity.

Shaklee Alfalfa Testimonial: Forty years ago, I was diagnosed with arthritis & bursitis. The doctors prescribed Darvon. I knew better than to take something that would merely address the symptoms of pain. I wanted to remove the cause, not the just the symptoms. At that time I had not heard about Shaklee. Fortunately, for me, someone I met casually, recommended Shaklee Alfalfa to me. She was not in Shaklee and I never saw her again. I wish I knew who she was so I could express my gratitude. Maybe that is one reason I find it so easy and practically essential to share the good news everywhere I go. We never know what a difference we may make in someone’s life.

It is important to remember, we never diagnose nor prescribe. Dr Shaklee said "When someone asks you what is good for arthritis, you could respond: You don’t want anything good for arthritis, you want something bad for arthritis and good for your body".

Another Dr. Shaklee quote: "We do not treat dis-ease we just treat the body fairly" Another favorite quote is in response to the question: How Many do I take? Dr Shaklee said "Do you count the peas on your plate, this is food."

"They aren’t pills, they won’t cure your ills, they’re just plain food, AND they will improve your mood". The point is we must emphasize wellness and prevention of disease with our food supplements.

Stressed? This might help..

It's a fact of life stress plays a major role on our emotions, physical and mental well being. Heck if you have turned on the news lately that's enough to stress about anybody out! So what do we do when stress factors keep hitting us square in the face? I know at first blush this may be hard to do but you MUST.... Shut down and put out of your mind what is stressing you out if only for an hour. You must give your mind & body time to adjust, and workout a strategic plan. Many times it's not the situation, but it's how we react to a situation that causes so much stress it can be detrimental to your health.

As a Kansas farmers daughter I have certain values drilled into my head. I'm sure you do too. Values about what you perceive to be right or wrong.. I think all of us do, that's one reason when we pay attention to what's happening in America today it upsets us so much. Word of advise... if you have no way of controlling and changing the situation YOU MUST LET IT GO! I'm saying that for your own health OK?

Next you must do what is necessary to protect your body from the Damaging Effects of Stress. The following link is a short informative recording about how the body reacts during stress and what we can do to limit the effects of stress on our body. RECORDING CLICK HERE

If effects of today's world comes back to haunt your personal or business world, you must take the bull by the horns and do what it takes to make the situation have as little effect on your life as possible. One thing I know for sure we all were born into this world and we all someday will die. It's what happens in between that we can do something about.

To a healthy successful journey,

Barefoot Healthy Living: Cleanse and Detox Program


A message from...
Cindy McAsey- Mom w/family and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I am 90

Lets face it we are what we eat... Have you ever eaten one of those big fat juicy McDonalds hambugers? I think most of us have. What a bag of greesy potato chips. The liver works harder when it's dealing with heavy, greasy, refined foods. Unfortunatly the garbage that goes in our body doesn't always come out completly. Did you know with a proper detox some folks can loose 20 lbs of weight? Generally that weight is noticed most around the middle. (belly fat)

Detox or cleansing diets can include water, potions, fruit and vegetable juice, raw food, herbal supplements or a combination of approaches. Proponents say they're necessary because our bodies take a lot of abuse from modern life. Conventional doctors, meanwhile, say the lungs, kidneys, liver and skin are perfectly capable of detoxifying on their own. At the very least, there may be an emotional benefit associated with starting over. To detox safely you can consume lots of fresh, raw and organic fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes nuts and seeds. The hard part is finding products are actually what they say they are. The regulations for "organic" labeling are pretty loose to say the least!

The Power of Protein on Barefoot Healthy Living

The Power of Protein

It's essential to the growth, repair, and maintenance of all body tissues. It's also required for making enzymes - catalysts essential to all life processes, and hormones - powerful chemical messengers that circulate through your bloodstream to specific target cells, where they generate a wide range of biological responses. It also helps your body maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, provides a source of energy, and helps your body fight off disease. These are the powers of protein!

These powers are made possible by consuming adequate amounts of dietary protein from a variety of lean meats, fish, and poultry, as well as soy and milk, which supply the body with amino acids, the basic building blocks from which the body can make its own body proteins.

Not All Protein Is Created Equal
Foods provide about 20 different amino acids, of which more than half are considered to be nonessential.?In other words, the body can make them for itself. However, nine other amino acids are considered "essential," meaning the body is unable to make them on its own. And unlike the carbohydrates and fats we consume, amino acids are not stored in the body. Therefore, the body must rely on a constant and steady supply from the protein-rich foods we eat every day.  

So what are the best sources of dietary protein? And is there a difference between animal and vegetable sources? Well, it's true that not all dietary protein is created equal. It really is the protein quality of one's diet that, in large part, determines how well a child will grow and develop and how well an adult will maintain his or her health. Put simply, high-quality proteins provide enough of all the essential amino acids needed to support the body's work, and lower-quality proteins don't. Two key factors that influence protein quality are the protein's digestibility and its amino acid composition. Protein digestibility is a measure of the amount of amino acids absorbed from a given protein intake, and amino acid composition refers to the simultaneous availability of all the needed amino acids from a food we choose to eat. In general, animal-sourced proteins (meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy) are considered high-quality proteins, as is soy, a vegetable-sourced protein. However, other vegetable proteins tend to be of much lower quality and are often referred to as "incomplete" proteins because they do not provide all the essential amino acids the body needs. Incomplete proteins can come from fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts.

Health Benefits
When most of us think about the health benefits of dietary protein, its role in bodybuilding comes to mind and rightly so. No new body tissue can be built without it. However, research also suggests that the intake of high-quality protein in the context of an overall healthful diet may also have positive effects on our body weight and body composition as we age, as well as play a role in the prevention of chronic diseases such as heart disease, certain types of cancer, and osteoporosis.

  • Weight Management: Studies have shown that achieving a healthy weight and maintaining that weight can help add years to your life, and scientists believe that dietary protein may play an important role in weight management. High-protein diets may promote significantly more weight loss compared to lower protein diets because of protein's role in promoting satiety In a fairly recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers studied the effects of increasing dietary protein while maintaining carbohydrate content on weight loss, appetite, calorie intake, and fat mass in a small group of study participants. Initially, participants were instructed to follow a weight-maintaining diet (50% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 35% fat) for two weeks. Then for the following two weeks, they were asked to follow a diet providing the same amount of calories but with 50% of calories coming from carbohydrate, 30% from protein, and 20% from fat. Two weeks later, they were given an ad libitum diet of  50% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 20% fat to follow for an additional 12 weeks. Even though subjects could eat as much food as they wanted in those 12 weeks, they actually reduced their calorie intake by an average of 441 calories per day. They also lost an average of 10.8 pounds in body weight and 8.2 pounds of body fat. 
  • Age-Related Muscle Loss: After about age 40, most adults will lose anywhere between 0.5% and 1% of their skeletal muscle mass each year. And in the early years, this gradual loss may go unnoticed because it might be masked by a concurrent increase in body fat. However, chronic muscle loss?or what is known as sarcopenia?is estimated to affect  about 30% of people over age 60 and may affect more than 50% of those over age 80. Insufficient protein intake in older adults can contribute to a loss of muscle, and although the optimal amount of protein to prevent or offset the progression of sarcopenia has yet to be established, research findings suggest that protein intakes modestly above the present recommended dietary allowance of 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day (i.e. 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day or higher) enhance muscle mass in older adults who regularly perform resistance exercise. Protein intake in older adults also appears to have a more beneficial effect when consumed within an hour or so of resistance exercise. Emerging research also suggests that dairy protein, especially whey protein, may minimize sarcopenia because of its high concentration of leucine, an amino acid known to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. For example, findings in older adults suggest that increasing leucine intake may help restore the protein synthesis response to protein-containing meals, which has been shown to diminish with age.
  • Cardiovascular Disease: One concern that has been raised about the trend in high-protein diets for weight loss has been that eating diets high in protein and fat, and low in carbohydrate, would harm the heart. However, recent research findings suggest that if done in a healthy way, eating a little more protein, especially vegetable protein, while cutting back on refined carbohydrates may actually benefit the heart. A 20-year prospective study of 82,802 women found that those who ate low-carbohydrate diets high in vegetable sources of fat or protein had a 30% lower risk of heart disease, compared to women who ate high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets. But women who ate low-carbohydrate diets that were high in animal fats or proteins did not have a reduced risk of heart disease.
  • Cancer: There's no good evidence that eating a little protein or a lot of it significantly influences cancer risk. However, eating a lot of red meat (cured and processed meats, in particular) has been linked to an increased risk of colon cancer. There also has been considerable investigation of the potential of soy-protein-containing foods to reduce the risk of cancer, especially breast cancer. In a fairly recent review of studies based on Asian populations, higher soy intake was associated with an overall 29% decreased risk of breast cancer. Despite these positive findings, the relationship between soy foods and breast cancer risk has been controversial because of data gathered from cell culture and animal studies that suggest isoflavones (the plant-estrogen-like compounds in soy foods) stimulate the growth of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer cells. This has led to questions about the safety of soy consumption in women with a history of breast cancer or women at high risk for the disease. Research continues in this area, but it?s important to point out that several lines of existing evidence suggest that women with breast cancer can safely consume soy. First, human studies have shown that isoflavones do not stimulate breast cell proliferation or increase breast tissue density (two markers of increased cancer risk), and a lack of harmful effects have been noted in several clinical studies examining the impact of soy food intake on the prognosis of breast cancer patients. In one study, neither soy nor isoflavone intake was related to the disease-free survival rate of breast cancer patients over a five-year follow-up period, and in a second study, higher soy intake was associated with a more favorable outcome for both total mortality and disease-specific mortality or relapse during a follow up period of two years. And even better news is that the benefit of soy food intake on survival was more pronounced among women with estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer. Although these studies are encouraging, breast cancer remains a very serious health condition. Women with a history of breast cancer should seek the advice of their doctor concerning the consumption of soy foods as part of an overall healthful diet.
  • Osteoporosis: Prevention of osteoporosis is a public health priority and among nutritional factors, most attention has focused on the beneficial role of calcium. However, in addition to calcium, many other nutrients are necessary for bone health, including protein. Findings from many, but not all, epidemiological studies point to a beneficial role for dietary protein in bone health. High-protein intakes have been associated with reduced bone loss, high bone-mineral density, and reduced fracture risk in older adults. In a recent trial, increasing protein intake, especially when accompanied by calcium and vitamin D, reduced bone loss, improved muscle strength, and shortened the hospital stay in older patients with hip fractures whose usual intake of dietary protein was low.

    On the other hand, some studies suggest that excessive dietary protein intake may have detrimental effects on bone because of its effect on urinary calcium excretion. This controversy may be explained by other nutrients in food or the source of dietary protein. For example, dietary protein has been shown to exert a positive effect on the skeleton of older adults when calcium intake is adequate, but not when calcium intake is low.

    Because protein exists in close association with other nutrients in the diet, it is important to consider protein?s role in bone health in the context of foods or the overall dietary pattern. A number of studies have demonstrated that intake of milk and other dairy products benefits bone health. Dairy products such as milk are a unique source of protein because their calcium content is high relative to their protein content and they contain other bone-supporting nutrients such as phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins A, D, and K.

How Much Protein Is Enough?  
Although no one-size-fits-all answer exists for that question and research on the topic is still emerging, the current recommended dietary allowance for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day for healthy young adults. That comes to about 62 grams of protein a day for a person who weighs 170 pounds. Although growing children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and older adults may need a little more (1.0-1.3 grams per kilogram of body weight), getting the minimum daily requirement of protein is fairly easy. Cereal with milk for breakfast, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, and a piece of fish with a side of beans for dinner adds up to about 70 grams of protein.

It?s also important to pay attention to what comes along with the protein in your food choices. An eight-ounce broiled porterhouse steak is a great source of complete protein?54 grams worth. But it also delivers 44 grams of fat, 16 of which are saturated. Saturated fats raise blood cholesterol, and high blood cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, a cup of cooked lentils has 18 grams of protein, but less than one gram of fat.

Vegetable sources of protein, including soy protein beverage mixes, are also an excellent choice and many also provide healthful amounts of other essential nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The best animal protein choices are fish and poultry. If you are partial to red meat, such as beef, pork, or lamb, stick with the leanest cuts, choose moderate portion sizes, and make it only an occasional part of your diet.

Barefoot Healthy Living: Healthy Christmas Snack

The Healthy Christmas Snack

Protein Balls

Prep Time: 30 minutes (15 minutes to mix, 15 minutes to roll into balls)

Basic Ingredients:
1 c. Natural Peanut Butter
1 c. Honey
1 c. Shaklee protein powder (cocoa protein powder makes the balls especially yummy)

Add-In Ingredients (4 cups total, create your own combination!):
Sunflower seeds
Peanuts
Chocolate chips
Granola
Oatmeal
Raisins
Dried cranberries
Oat bran
Wheat germ
Flax seed (ground or whole)

Directions:
Mix together the basic ingredients in a large bowl: peanut butter, honey, and protein powder. Add 4 cups total of the add-in ingredients. (Peanuts, oatmeal, and chocolate chips are a delicious classic.)

The more dry ingredients you add, the stiffer the mixture gets. You want the protein balls to stick together when you roll them, but you don’t want them to be so sticky that they won’t hold shape. Add more oatmeal, wheat germ, or oat bran if your mixture is too goopy. Add more honey if your mixture is too dry.

Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. This is the tedious part—so get the kids involved! Refrigerate the balls (or freeze any extra). You can stack them in Tupperware and separate the layers with waxed paper.

~Pop a couple throughout the day when you feel concentration and motivation are low~

Barefoot Healthy Living: Go for it....No regrets!

One of the great benefits of a Shaklee Business is the personal developement your recieve. When I read this message this morning from Gary Burke it reminded me of something I heard when I first started in the business. "Whatever you do DON'T QUIT" over the years I've gotten so many phone calls from past distributors who did quit and tell me how they regret their past decision.

Go for it....No regrets!~by Gary Burke

I received the following statement (in quotes) about regrets a few days ago and I've read it several times and it has made me think. It's really quite a strong statement about the choices we make as people.

"Regrets are a result from poor choices made on decisions based on temptation, doubt, fear, frustration and anger."

I think one reason I have given this some thought is I can remember some of the early times while building our Shaklee business when I would get frustrated because it just didn't seem to be growing as fast as I wanted it to. All kinds of thoughts would start coming to mind and most of them were negative. Wondering if this Shaklee opportunity would really work for us the way it did for others we heard about and saw at various meetings.

Wonder, doubt, temptation to quit, and most of all frustration. As I think back though, the issue really was about me and not the opportunity. I expected more than my skills could deliver. I had to learn the HOW TO's.......How to prospect effectively....getting appointments....telling the Shaklee story....understanding the compensation plan....I had to develop certain skills.

I'm a competitive guy. Always have been. I loved the competition of athletics and that is what would eventually win over all the frustration and/or doubtful thinking. Every team I was ever on, the coach always talked about fundamentals, working hard and having a great attitude, and above all "you never want to quit."

I was not going to quit. I wanted what the Shaklee opportunity offered and I knew if others could build successfully, so could I. I just refused to live a life of regret.

No one ever fails at building a Shaklee business. But many quit! Many people make decisions based on frustration, doubt, and other negative thoughts. Don't allow it to happen to you.

Boogie Woogie Dance makes you Feel Good!


A message from...
Cindy McAsey the barefootmentor


When I saw this video I knew you should see it too... Dancing brings out so many creative ideas for me I hope it moves you the same way. Isn't it wonderful it is to be vibrant and healthy like the dancers in this video.


Link to video

My feet are still tapping. Are you ready to go dancing too? Lets be honest.. Nothing is more important than your health. As I shared in my last message to you our mind plays an important role in our health.

A perfect example is a story about Fred who went in for a routine exam. Now Fred is 75 years young and has never been sick a day in his life, but due to constant nagging from his wife who may as well live in the doctors office he went.

When routine blood work came back with a elevated PSA that's when all havoc broke loose. The doctor recommended he go in for a bioposy and his wife insisted too. Unfortunately the local hospital running the test couldn't get Fred in right away.

The earliest possible appointment wasn't for 6 weeks. Fred went home and started worrying what the biopsy would show. He went from an active 75 yr old who was an active gardener, to basically and feeble old man would could barely get up to sit in front of the television. When the day of the biopsy rolled around Fred looked like someone had just handed him a death warrant.

Fortunately Fred came through the biopsy surgery OK, but you could tell he still had the worry deep down of what test results would show. When test came back normal it was like Fred had gotten a new lease on life. He got home put his work clothes on and got busy living life again. I don't know how many folks have gone through what Fred did, but I do know it doesn't have to be like this.

Just recently New England Journal of Medicine concluded that screening for prostate cancer has little or no effect in prolonging men’s lives, and the risks posed by unnecessary treatment may outweigh the benefits of early detection. Imagine that!

In conclusion I encourage you to surround yourself with what makes you happy in life.... Such as this video that makes you feel like dancing too.

Don't ignore your health but feed your body with nutrients proven to support long term health... Such as Vitalizer

Liquid Supplement: The Anti-Aging Powerhouse


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Mom with 2 kids a husband & a farm full of animals

The Facts and tests are in Resveratrol is indeed a breakthrough ingredient in our liquid supplement. In fact our liquid supplement is so much more powerful than taking resveratrol alone.

Resveratrol has wonderful anti-aging antioxidant properities. Imagine this it's an ingredient in red wine!

Reserveratrol is most abundant in the skins of red grapes used to make red wine. It slows the buildup of platelets in blood vessels, making them less sticky. This improves the blod flow. Resveratrol can slow the growth of cancer, stimulate your immune system, lower inflammation and act as a powerful antioxidant.

Researchers and MD Anderson Cancer Center in Huston show resveratrol blocks prostrate cancer at every stage. It helps more than a dozen different anticancer mechanisms in your body. What's more, resveratrol targets cancer cells selectively. It's toxic to cancer cells but doesn't harm healthy cells. It also modulates hormones; stops cancer cells from multiplying and can actually destroy cancer cells.

Resveratrol may add years to your life, too. studies using bother mice and yeast show resveratrol turns on a gene that stimulates a protein called SIRT. The greater activity of SIRT, the greater the life span of yeast and mice. It turns out that humans can also activate the SIRT protein with resveratrol.

The newest round of studies from the Instute of Genetics, Molecular and Cellulary Biology in France found resveratrol, helped mice run twice as far during excercise. It helped muscles produce more energy, reduced their heart rate and gave them endurance the researchers compared to trained athletes.

What's more, resveratrol protected mice from gaining weight and developing the symptoms of diabetes and obesity. The benefits included in improved sensitivity to insulin, which is the key to maintaing ideal weight and avoiding diabetes.

So... resveratrol is becoming a 'wonder natural compound' it's powers include:

+ Anti-fungal, anti-yeast, anti-viral
+ Antioxident - promotes glutethone
+ Increases longevity
+ Protects against heart disease, Alzheimer's and type 2 Diabetes
+ Anti-inflammatory
+ Protects DNA, stimulates repair of genes
+ Protects against cancer
+ Kills cancer cells Prevents metastasis
+ Aids Chemotherapy results, while protecting healthy cells

I've got a secret to share with ya... Now you can benefit from the latest anti-aging research. It's my latest Barefoot Secret.

Business Franchise hardly anybody knows about


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


The problems we are faced with in a down economy is all over CNN, BBC, FOX News ...have been releasing reports daily of market turmoil, multiple bank failures, soaring foreclosures, and skyrocketing unemployment.

Every one of us has witnessed or is feeling the harsh effects on our economy in one way or another.

To make matters worse, business owners, top professionals in the mortgage business, real estate and insurance business are struggling financially and are facing a major crisis.

As a small business entrepreneur we must seek out solutions. We must not only shift gears in the midst of a downturn, but also shift our energy to stay out of fear mode, which is even more important — and tougher to do.

In Tough Times, Tackle Anxiety First

Here's a simple six-step program for “shifting yourself out of fear-based operating mode and getting back on track towards success.”

The first step, is to confess that you are, in fact, afraid. Stress, worry and apprehension are all elements of fear. I admit it is scary right now being in business, but that is what entrepreneurship is all about.

The second step is to respond to that fear with calm deliberation rather than rash acts that may push your businesses into deeper trouble.

The third is for small businesses to refocus their efforts on things they can excell in.

The fourth is to “reframe the story” by looking for new opportunities in difficult times.
The fifth is for entrepreneurs to maintain a balance between their work and personal lives.

The sixth is to seek out a critic who will give unvarnished feedback about potential blind spots.

Did you know that while the majority of folks in America are fighting for survival a privileged few are building a steady, stable, strong business? These folks know something that you don't.

They aren't jumping on the latest greatest thing since sliced bread. (rash acts) These folks are maintaining the calm deliberation, reframing by looking for real honest opportunities and taking advise that goes to the heart of the matter. Don't Panic!

I want to share this short video from the CEO of Shaklee, Roger Barnett giving an explaination of why he launched the latest incentive called "The Power of 10"

Bottomline..our Business Franchise Online offers REAL opportunities for REAL people.

#4 Rule for Happiness and Contentment

Happiness is an attribute of love; therefore, you can never be happy until you give your love to others. Let your emotion of love warm the heart of someone and see an ample supply of happiness reflected upon you. A selfish person may depend on gaining possessions to bring happiness, but soon will find that such possessions reflect only their own selfish thoughts.

Sow the Seeds of Happiness in Others, and You Will reap A Joyful Harvest.

Business Franchise Online: Rule #2 for Happiness and Contentment


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


To gain happiness, you must discover and enjoy what you have. It is not how much you have. It is what we THINK about how much we have which produces happiness. In building a happy contented life you must give happiness to others. No one living for himself will ever be contented.

Your happiness is reflected upon you through service you give to others.... and the thought you give to the creation of happiness will attract a happniess-service from others.

Start creating happiness-habit by producing happy love filled thoughts.

"As a man thinketh in his heart so is he."

When I discovered the company in this short video my level of happiness grew much stronger. I feel it's because the values align so closely with who I am. I feel a close parallel between my business "Barefoot in the Garden" and the philosophy "created by nature."

What values do you align with?

Barefoot Marketing Strategies: Luxury Vacation Resorts.. What do you want in the Recession?


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


Franchise Business: What does a SMART Small Business Entrepreneur Do in a Recession?

You know I LOVE twitter, but over the last week I have seen a sense of panic, mostly because I have been focusing on a target market that isn't currently a small business owner. There is so much education to be done for some of these poor souls or at least they think they are poor because the media tells them how bad it is.

I've got "NEWS" for you just because the media paints a doom and gloom picture it doesn't have to be like that. Let's face it. Doom and gloom sells. Look at 911 how many people (including me) were glued to the TV watching and listening. Remember the year 2000 scare when all electronic data was going to be wiped out? Did it happen? NO... Did some people take advantage of it a make a boat load? YES

It amazes me these predictors are not held accountable for their stupidity when the bad things DON’T come to pass. Sadly, I’ve found that some of the greatest tragedies I’ve seen in my life, like 9/11, Huricane Katrina, and earth quakes, tsunamis, and other disasters were not predicted or prevented in any real way at all.

Any thinking person understands depressions, natural disasters, war, and more... does happen and that is unfortunately a part of life as we know it. But the media doesn’t want you to ‘think’… they want you to be afraid and dependant and turn to them for ‘comfort’ day in and day out (bad, bad idea… they never report ‘good news’). To my knowledge, worrying about such events has not prevented any of them!

Action and imagination solve problems a whole lot better than ‘worrying’.

After all…

Napoleon Hill didn’t write, ‘Worry and Grow Rich’, did he?

However, the doomsayers predict doom almost every day it and the media seems eerily cheerful in reporting on anything negative that happens around the world in real time, 24 hours a day year round. What is missing is perspective.

Miracles, recovery, healing, new discoveries, massive profits, enlightenment, giving, growth, birth, beauty and joy are ALSO happening every day around the world.

But you’d never know about it if you rely on the NEWS media for your view of reality.

If you want to profit from these times, let McCain, Obama, the stock market, real estate woes and the nattering ninnies in Congress shuffle papers around to their hearts content. And ignore them. If you have real estate problems or stock troubles, educate yourself on how to best deal with those issues. Tell yourself over and over.. "If it is to be it's up to me" Don't rely on anyone to bail you out!

Don’t envy or resent the ‘rich’, join them! The Money is still right under our noses. In fact this "recession" will produce more billionaires than ever before. (Some people are THRILLED to see it coming) Stocks and Real Estate will be bought at rock bottom prices. (Only to be sold for massive profits in a few short years) Advertising for your business will be much cheaper, because there won't be the competition from the nervous nellies.

SMART Small Business Entrepreneurs are...

  • Proactive. We see something coming and we do something about it. We take the bull by the horns.
  • Focus on Sales. Bottomline we are in sales may as well admit it. We focus on Sales, not the "news"
  • Focus on Value. We market and sell products that add good value. Something that is consumable that consumers need and want.
  • Focus on Abundance. Think in terms of abundance we understand there is plenty of money out there and we can make as much as we want.
  • Ready to take Action. We think outside the box and are ready to take advantage of opportunity when it comes our way.
  • Focus on Marketing. We constantly invest (time and money) in marketing we know our business must be preforming marketing that works, we test it, we track it, we know what's working.
Did I describe who you are or want to be? Your best option to increase your income is to growing a profitable small business of your own. Seek out those who ARE successful and discover what they are doing. Stay current on what is working in your industry… and in marketing. Choose carefully… Every day I read, listen to mp3’s, and watch videos on all kinds of subjects about what IS working. I recommend you do the same.

To your Success,

Online Training: What do guineas, fleas, and ticks have to do with web conference rooms

Online Training: What do guineas, fleas, and ticks have to do with web conference rooms?

When you live on a farm in Kansas sometimes your suroundings come through in the web conferencing recording. You will get the short story in this web conferencing recording.

I decided to save this web conference online training and load the whole file up to my server. Not that it's necessarly the best online training I've done, in fact when I re-listened to the recording I just about didn't post it.

There is time during this training that my guineas start making so much noise that I have to stop the training and close the window! If you don't mind hearing real world day to day things that happen on our farm in Kansas then this is a must listen to training.

Here is the link: http://www.barefoot-in-the-garden.com/R/cindy422/index.htm

Just so you know this recording is un-edited and everyone who was in the class text chats show so it's really pretty much like being live in web conference. In this recording I cover most of the basic features of VereConference how to use the screen casting, basic recording features, locking the room etc.

For the perfectionists watching this recording I realize I didn't have the back drop of my screen casting exactly perfect but decided to post the recording anyway. Most of you who have been to my trainings know I'm really picky about that stuff. Please overlook the imperfections to learn what this amazing web conferencing system can do for your business.

btw... as I write this our guineas are up letting their presence be known again this morning.

Barefoot Secrets of Luxury Living a Long Healthy prosperous Life


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


In the next few minutes you are going to learn why I'm so passionate about the products and give you some insider information about the trends we see happening.

Did you know our company was the #1 natural nutritional company in USA? My hottest selling product is one of the first products our company made over 50 years ago. It's an Herbal laxative. It actually works kind of like a toothbrush on your intestines scrubbing them from the inside out. Did you know that the average americian carries around 20 LBS of waste in their intestines? They do... Actually this product works as a normalizer not and laxative like most people assume.

Don't be okay with feeling just okay. If you're like nine out of 10 Americans, you don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, which can really affect your health down the line. That's a great reason to supplement what you eat. But the important question is, how do you feel today? Your answer should be nothing short of fantastic. Watch this short video that explains the secret to great health and vitality.

Live Long and Prosper as a Shaklee Distributor! Wonder what life will be like in your 80's... imagine in your 90's? Imagine your life the way these two amazing Shaklee Business Leaders are living it! Their lifestyle and well-being have been supported by their involvement as a Shaklee Distributors for over 30 years.

In times of economic stress, it's a relief to know that there is an answer... you can live a healthy, financially secure lifestyle, with residual income you've built over time so that you can enjoy your golden years! Just like these two incredible people!

Viola Hardy - It's never too late to make a dream come true, and this 94-year-old Shaklee Distributo proved it by qualifying early for Hawaii!

Dean Smith - Imagine earning gold in your golden years! This Lifetime Master Coordinator became a world class athlete after joining Shaklee is his 40s, and at 82, nobody in his age group, in the world, beats his time!

Living a long, healthy, prosperous life is what Shaklee has been about for over 50 years.

Barefoot Marketing Strategies Using Veretekk

How Veretekk is works to build your business with Social Networking

Last night in our weekly web conference I had someone ask me have you ever brought someone into the business through social networking? With out having Veretekk as a tool it would be next to impossible to build the relationships I've built in Social Networking. This morning as I was doing my usual social networking follow up, I glanced at the string of messages a new facebook contact and I have had this week and thought, this is it!


This is the perfect lesson to show you exactly how social networking using Veretekk works! Again my hats off to Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling for putting together an awesome neutral system we can use to build online social relationships with.

Apparently Peggy found my profile on facebook and requested to be my friend, I replied with a short note saying "Thank you for the add" .. here was her reply...

Hi Peggy,
I think Amway is going on 50 years too. Our neighbor is one of the top dogs in Amway, he has built a "retirement" house 2 miles from his "mansion" all within a mile from us.. the "mansion" that includes a conference center is up for sale to the tune of 2.5 million.. so the neighbors say! Everyone wonders who they will get in our little rural community to purchase! I'm thinking possible a business of some kind. It was built on a golf course and is beautiful.

Engles? There are many in our community. Mike Engle I remember from High School. Amber Engle who used to be Amber Rock... I could go on and on..

I see your in network marketing too... One of the tools I use that has skyrocketed my business is Veretekk http://barefoot.veretekk.com It's done so much for my business I can't explain in a short message. I do have a testimonial at: http://quikonnex.com/channel/item/31948 I also have an information page that will give you more of the features at: http://cindy.veretekk.com/platinumcontrol.htm The nice thing about Veretekk they offer a free version of all their tools and sites.

Okay, Veretekk. How different is it from Cutting Edge Media and other leads generation systems? How much does it cost per month, etc. Thank you for introducing it to me - I look forward to hearing/learning more about it. Yes I am also in NWM or MLM or whatever the latest word for it is! lol I gather you still market ****** as well as doing your internet business?
Take care
Until next time
Peggy (& Ted)

Cindy
Today at 6:21am
Hi Peggy,
Veretekk is very different from Cutting Edge Media... In Veretekk you are taught how to generate your own leads. NOT purchase leads. BIG DIFFERENCE. In Veretekk you can sign up for free and take a test drive see how the system works... it's not just a limited trial either. You can continue a silver freee membership forever if you want too. Yes they do have 2 other levels of membership. The gold membership is 41.95 per month and coming soon is the Platinum. When I first looked at Veretekk I saw the power of having your own lead capture pages offering stuff for freee and a I also saw the affiliate program and soon learned I could have a cost free marketing system. Personally Veretekk brings in nice checks every month paying for my marketing costs. It can do the same for you too if you want it too.

Peggy in my business everything I do online leads back into *****. Yes I have multiple streams of income coming into my business, but it's the primary business income that will be passed down to my kids and future generations. It's the ****** income that comes in month after month from customers purchasing the products from my website wether I'm working or not.
Take Care,

THAT'S how it done! Social Networking is all about building relationships and communication. Sometimes it's in the form of text messages.. such is the case in Twitter. or.. sometimes it's in the form of private email messages like this example... and sometimes it leads to a phone conversation, but not always.

Others are mirrors of your own self-image. You will be drawn to others for the positive qualities you believe exist within you. In a similar way you will tend to hate others who reflect back to you those qualities you fear most in yourself. You already have th answers to life's questions. All you need to do is look, listen within, and trust your intuitive powers.

Barefoot Luxury Vacation and the 50/20 Rule


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


Barefoot Luxury Vacations: 80/20 Rule Technique

The 80/20 Rule is one of the most helpful of all concepts of time and life management. It is also called the Pareto Principle after its founder, the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who first wrote about it in 1895. Pareto noticed that people in his society seemed to divide naturally into what he called the "vital few," the top 20% in terms of money and influence, and the "trivial many," the bottom 80%.

Pareto later discovered that virtually all economic activity was subject to this his Principle as well. For example, this rule says that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results. 20% of your customers will account for 80% of your sales. 20% of your products or services will account for 80% of your profits. 20% of your tasks will account for 80% of the value of what you do, and so on. This means that if you have a list of ten items to do, two of those items will turn out to be worth as much or more than the other eight items put together.

Here is an interesting discovery. Each of these tasks may take the same amount of time to accomplish. But one or two of those tasks will contribute five or ten times the value as any of the others. Often, one item on a list of ten things that you have to do can be worth more than all the other nine items put together. This task is invariably the one that you should do first.

The most valuable tasks you can do each day are often the hardest and most complex. But the payoff and rewards for completing these tasks efficiently can be tremendous. For this reason, you must adamantly refuse to work on tasks in the bottom 80% while you still have tasks in the top 20% left to be done. Before you begin work, always ask yourself, "Is this task in the top 20% of my activities or in the bottom 80%?"

The hardest part of any important task is getting started on it in the first place. Once you actually begin work on a valuable task, you seem to be naturally motivated to continue. There is a part of your mind that loves to be busy working on significant tasks that can really make a difference. Your job is to feed this part of your mind continually.

Time management is really life management, personal management. It is really taking control over the sequence of events. Time management is control over what you do next. And you are always free to choose the task that you will do next. Your ability to choose between the important and the unimportant is the key determinant of your success in life and work. Effective, productive people discipline themselves to start on the most important task that is before them. They force themselves to eat that frog, whatever it is. As a result, they accomplish vastly more than the average person and are much happier as a result. This should be your way of working as well.

Make a list of all the key goals, activities, projects and responsibilities in your life today. Which of them are, or could be, in the top 10% or 20% of tasks that represent, or could represent, 80% or 90% of your results? Resolve today that you are going to spend more and more of your time working in those few areas that can really make a difference in you life and career, and less and less time on lower value activities.

Barefoot Techniques for Communication


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


Techniques for Communication via the Telephone

Do you persuade customers, teammates, bosses or employees via the telephone? Like it or not, you're in telephone sales. Even with all the technology on the the Internet, lots of business still revolves around the phone.

Here are some quick tips for making your point more powerful.

Talk clearly. Use short sentences. Talk loud enough but don't over-modulate the mouthpiece (that's announcer talk for distortion). This can be especially tricky when you're on the cell phone in the car. I use a bluetooth ear piece, making it easy to take notes or ordering information. Word of caution do not try to multi-task, carefully listen to what the other person is saying so you know how to respond.

Here's a technique I discovered from talking to newspaper reporters back in the corporate days. When you're talking with a reporter and you want them to write down particular points but not others, vary your pace. Talk fast through the points you don't feel are important, but slow down and enunciate the important parts you want in print. The same works for selling on the telephone.

Leave the script behind. Instead, jot down a few phrases that remind you of your important points. Ad-lib around these to keep your pitch on track. Fear of the phone can be big hurdle for many online marketers. Educate yourself about the product or service you promote. Become a product of the product. Then selling on the phone becomes like talking to your best friend when you know in your heart what's best for them.

Barefoot Veretekk System: For the serious Marketer Online


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


Have you ever thought you have the magic software program, the ebook and all the other tools that say that they can, and will, show you how to make the first page of Google? Hey, take a deep breath and know this. There is nothing, that competes with Veretekk and the Veretekkies who use this powerhouse system. I was probably just like most people learning to market online when I found Veretekk. I had spent way to much on ebooks, software, programs and tools to learn online marketing. That money leak stopped when I found Veretekk and started applying what I learned.

Just a glance at the full Gold System in action with 42 fully configurable lead capture pages to promote your business online. Will make some peoples head spin.

V2 Integration 3 Hour Seminar



The Veretekk Marketer

"V2 Integration 3 Hour Seminar"
 
All are welcome. No registration required. Easy seminar access.
Just go to the V2 website scroll to bottom for public access.
Thomas Prendergast
 Veretekk CEO

This Wednesday at Noon (May 16, 2012) at 12pm noon PST I will be hosting a special open house for the newly subscribed and seasoned members of Veretekk.

This event will cover the V2 Integration capabilities that have recently become even more powerful than ever. (And you can plagiarize this you have my permission)

Integration

You are hearing a lot about integration within Veretekk especially with the launch of V2. But most people do not fully grasp the term and how it plays in V2. Let me try to illustrate this powerful aspect of V2.

in·te·grate
 [in-ti-greyt] Show IPA verb, in·te·grat·ed, in·te·grat·ing.
verb (used with object)
1.to bring together or incorporate (parts) into a whole.
2.to make up, combine, or complete to produce a whole or a larger unit, as parts do.
3.to unite or combine.

A note about my background and experience: I started into Marketing at a very young age. In a thumbnail, I was born to be an artist. My parents were horrified about this claiming that artist starve to death. This freaked me out. So I bought many books on marketing art and marketing in general. One of those books, "Confessions of an Advertising Man", by David Ogilvy I purchased in 1980. That book changed my life. In 1984 Soon after I acquired my first computer and the quest to merge was on.

I coined the term back in the 90s as Data Base Marketing, but today, with the advent of a progressing Internet, and related technologies, what was a tactical or strategic action in the 80s today is represented by a digital counterpart.

Today's Internet Marketer is by far a lot less qualified to be in marketing than his counterpart 20 years ago. Today one can just claim to be an SEO master or an Internet Marketer simply because the information to discover the basics and intricacies to do so are at everyone's fingertips. This does not diminish the effectiveness of today's marketer over the marketing agency of 20 years ago, it just establishes that things have changed on a massive scale.

20 years ago it took a Marketing Department to accomplish what most Internet marketers set upon themselves to do today on their own. (This is why so many fail and/or have a chronic case of ADD; Attention Deficit Disorder). NOTE: "I suffer from this myself"

The marketing tools of the Internet, the ability to measure results, the ability to research on the Internet is a dream come true to a seasoned and long time experienced ad man as myself. But it also brings with it a serious risk potential and that is the undertaking of keeping track of and updating each of the aspects that compromise Internet Marketing today.

Back before the Internet an ad agency had many people for each respective responsibility, one department for sending direct mail, another for tradeshows and conferences and yet another for display advertising and printed material, press releases, radio ads, conventions, etc.....

This is why the majority of Internet marketers are tactical (focused mostly on one aspect like SEO) instead of being strategic, having a full focus of research, analysis, multifaceted campaigns using all the tools required for full scale Internet marketing, keeping it organized and processing the constant information caused by such a campaign.

Tools ie:

  • Hosting for domains and websites

  • Auto responders email for follow-up communications

  • Web Conference Rooms for live meetings, educational seminars, training connecting.

  • SEO systems, back links, authority sites, forums, blogs, etc.

  • Display advertising

  • A social networking system and management

  • Lead generating systems or resources for a steady inventory of leads.

  • Contact data management system, calendars, reminders component.
The need to integrate all these aspects is paramount otherwise the marketing campaign is limited to a tactical approach, with poor management and even worse results. IE: hit and miss attempts, scattered approaches caused by lack of a solid strategy, impulsively running from one idea to another, the results are mediocre at best and worse, forgetting what was done in the past as this method also lacks tracking the posts, ads, and tactics, etc. used.

I have seen competent SEO marketers run from one domain to another, buying more domains and creating sites just for posting more content on pointing to other sites pointing to other sites creating a mass of gibberish that at best might increase an Alexa ranking to some degree but never really amounting to anything but time wasted.

This same phenomena can be seen with many people on the Internet running from one business idea or opportunity to the other. With no clear-cut objective, this is why most Internet marketers fail.

When you integrate the entire process, from research analysis (keeping track of that), keyword analysis, targeted content, pre written letters ready for your sequential mail auto responders, team building with a symbiotic group, videos and audio animations and screen captured demos, capture pages (tested with your group in our Bull Pen: focus groups increase the overall effectiveness of design and strategy), blogging and other partners in your group blogging on your behalf, back linking strategies and keeping track of the thousands of authority site memberships for additional effect, ratings with Google Page ranks and Alexa ranks and tracking that, traffic tracking, running display ads and managing that, running Google adsense ads, Facebook Ads etc and tracking, radio ads and cableTV ads. Whew!

All of this seems very overwhelming to accomplish 'on your own'. However the very core of Veretekk and it's services and benefits allows you to run full throttle professional campaigns like this without resorting to hiring an agency to do it, or having a dozen or so unrelated services in an attempt to run something akin to this on your own

This level of marketing is what you will see from top income earners and the very successful among the halls of the top ranked members of Internet Marketing. This is the "why" for why we built Veretekk.

It is called integration. The entire Veretekk system is completely integrated so you can ramp up and run a far more effective marketing campaign. Ad to this the Market Manager and the fact that V2 social network element gives you the added benefit of building a symbiotic group to make your efforts that much more powerful.

Next article will focus on V2's symbiotic qualities and benefits.

sym·bi·o·sis (s m b - s s, -b -)
n. pl. sym·bi·o·ses (-s z)
1. Biology A close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that benefits each member.
2. A relationship of mutual benefit or dependence.

This Wednesday May 16, 2012 at 12pm NOON PST I will be conducting another 2-3 hour seminar on Integration, Veretekk and V2 and why you need the Gold system and the new Marketing Manager (Platinum Control Panel) if you really want stellar success on the Internet. IT'S OPEN HOUSE. Don't forget to promote it!

Thursday I will be conducting three (3) workshops that you can record in the Veretekk system (not a public event). You must be logged into your Veretekk account to join these workshops.

Thursday 10am May 17, 2012 PST Hosting: Setting up ewav.net to run your Verepress. Yes even though VerePress is not launched, at this meeting you will have access to the files (2) and instructed how to configure this powerful alternative to Wordpress. Access to these files will only be available at this meeting until we launch this service. Don't miss out.

Thursday 12pm NOON May 17, 2012 PST. Sequential mail set. How to build a series of auto responder emails and set them up in your V2 system. I will be demonstrating using an edit manager (MS Word) and a text editor (Edit Plus) and the V2 Sequential system.

Thursday 3pm May 17, 2012 PST. Setting up Groups (A campaign for your site) utilizing the sequential mail set and building a capture page with the form code.

Friday 12 pm NOON May 18, 2012 PST. I will be conducting an open house seminar on the virtue of V2's symbiotic nature and benefits. This is a must attend meeting if you really want the incredible power of V2 working for you. An Automated Online Marketing System since 1995. is now called Marketing Integration.

Next up I will expand on the word "symbiosis".

This will be posted on my blog(s). This is an example of a well thought out writing, as I am talking direct to you, not to some Search Engine robot. The purpose of my letter to you is to share my knowledge, thoughts and feelings with you. It is a distant concern that this will also engage in building better SERPs for me. What's that? Stop with the techno babble? Oh, SERPs mean (Search Engine Results Pages). Getting top placement on the search engines is a breeze by the way with Veretekk.

The Veretekk Marketer

"V2 3 Hour Demonstration Seminar"
All are welcome. No registration required. Easy seminar access.
Just go to the V2 website scroll to bottom for public access.
Thomas Prendergast
 Veretekk CEO

This Friday at Noon (May 11, 2012) at 12pm noon PST I will be hosting a special open house for the newly subscribed in Veretekk.

This event will cover a great deal of the Veretekk New Communications Center (Replaced the old Bully Pulpit) and setting up campaigns in the Market Manager (The old Platinum Control Panel).

This will be a real time seminar as you watch me use your Veretekk system to start building our first huge marketing campaign.

The meeting is this Friday May 11th, 2012 @ 12pm PST.

Look just be there. So much is about to be revealed.

Now a word about Blogging and email. I constructed this email/blog to demonstrate how you reach your customers. You write to them not to the robots, OK? Here it is. (And you can plagiarize this you have my permission)


Write like your talking to the guy next to you on the plane.

I need to weigh in here.

With the latest Google algorithm updates Panda and Penguin, nothing much changed for my top 1st page ranks. Why? I don't write to Google robots. I write as though I am talking to someone next to me on a commercial jet or even more apropos, as if I am speaking to someone of interest on a short elevator ride so I must get my point across quickly.

Forget the keyword density, forget addressing the robots in your copy like "as found on Google, or as you build your business on Google, or blah blah blah on Google". If you're thinking that Google will reward you for this, think again. Google will pick it up as article spam. What they do with your site after that is anyone's guess but I know for a fact that Google hires people to look at sites for about 15 seconds per and if that human thinks your writing to the robots your site gets killed.

OK so what to do? Write as if your talking to the friend on the plan next to you or that person you have an exclusive audience for about 3-5 minutes on that elevator ride.

So, I am asked, what do you do? I tell my new friend, "I own a company called Veretekk, it is an Automated Online Marketing System, what do you do"? They usually reply with a typical answer "I am a salesperson for ABC company that does XYZ", etc. then come back wanting know "what does Veretekk do"? What is an automated online marketing system?

Hmmm as I ponder how to make it clear what we do in a few minutes.

  • We are a platform to broadcast your message via the Social Networks

  • We are a platform to build top positions on the search engines for your specific market.

  • We are a platform 15 years old with 1000s of like minded entrepreneurs as yourself all working together in symbiotic harmony with each other to achieve stealer success.

  • We are a hosting platform for your sites and domains

  • We are the highest quality web conference room platform for your quality conferences
First are you interested in or pursuing building a business on the Internet? 'Cause that is what Veretekk empowers you to do. You know what Facebook is right? You know who Aweber is the email auto responder company right? How about GotoMeeting, the web conference service? Hosting, you under stand that is a service you need if you want to have a domain on the Internet. And your business needs leads right? And of course your site needs to be found on the Internet in the search engines correct?

So I continue, if you combine, actually integrate all these services into one customized like toolbox completely wrapped up by a powerful and engaging social network group who all are helping each other to succeed, an incredible live support culture never available before this….That is Veretekk.

I get a blank stare. So I try another approach. Veretekk supports you with like-minded people, with all the advantages even the most powerful on the Internet wish they had. Even the lowliest succeed with Veretekk. Veretekk has been built for the little gal and guy in mind so as to be able to rise up from their shackles, Shackles of debt, shackles of the job, to find their calling and pursue it and succeed.

Hmmmm now we seem to be getting somewhere. A glimmer of light is showing but I can feel the questions coming. "Sounds complicated". "How much will it cost?" "Who will teach me?" "How long does it take".

I asked him, have you ever hosted a website before? Well if you did, you were pretty much on your own with the exception of support via email. You were on your own learning HTML from tutorial sites online. Hit and miss, learning from your mistakes and never sure if what you were doing would even work. The learning curve was long and painful.

I asked him, have you ever called leads? I am sure you experienced the rejection that is common buying leads. It is not fun and most people will avoid it at all costs. No pier support in these efforts as you slog along crawling through the broken glass and barbed wire of rejection calling unrelated leads to pitch your cause.

Are you up to speed with the latest technology that allows total immersion into web conference rooms and their integration into your complete business proposition?

This one solicited a blank stare as I thought it would. Are you chuckling some at this point? It is humorous really, when you consider the breakneck speed that technology is running forward at. I don't know how I have managed to keep up with it since I got caught up in the techno revolution in 1984 but I do, yes I do.

My point is this. You figured out Twitter, you figured out MySpace, you figured out Facebook, you figured out a ton of technical things mostly on your own. You have what it takes to make all that time investment work for you. You have what it takes to make that PC on your desk make you money. And we have what it takes to get you there. That's Veretekk.

And somewhere in this you will find the essence of what Veretekk is. It is a living breathing platform. Born to serve our fellow brothers and sisters whose quest is to find an alternative living on this planet outside the norm of the 8 to 5 job working 40 years insecure that at any moment your job will be eliminated or worse you will be laid off at a time when employment options are virtually non existent.

An integrated Search Engine Marketing Platform

The Marketing Powerhouse Seminar

The Veretekk Marketer

"The Marketing Powerhouse Seminar"


Thomas Prendergast
 Veretekk CEO

This Friday (May 11th, 2012 at 12 noon PST) we will spend a considerable time exploring the Market Manager and why we built it and what it means to you.

But before we get into that may I make a suggestion for your benefit? You see our seminars are now open to everyone including non-Veretekk subscribers. Take these articles from our blog or this email and use them to alert your leads databases, your blogospheres and post to your social networks and forums inviting them to your website to easily join our seminar for no cost or need to register.

The new V2 system will know they came from you and will identify them as a visitor from your site in the conferences. This is genius level marketing and it is now in your hands. Need to understand these concepts better, come to my seminars.

Commanding the top 1000 authority sites listed on Alexa and managing them for your benefit at your fingertips whenever you need to. Come to my seminar.

Do you understand what an absolute powerhouse marketing benefit this is especially when you add it to the V2 standard flotilla of authority sites already at your finger tips? Come to my seminar.

A Marketing Manager position in a top rated Ad Agency runs around $300k to $500 k per year to hire. Marketing Manager positions usually require a total knowledge and understanding of the job of managing the magnitude of contacts, developing strategically relationship, handling the ongoing job of running ad campaigns and accessing the data of every campaign and being able to determine the effectiveness of each campaign. Not to mention a 6-year Masters degree in Marketing.

So we built one. We built the equivalent of a Marketing Manager into the V2 Market Manager. It does just about everything a live human Marketing Manager does except it doesn't require sick leave or two weeks of vacation pay.

This "Market Manager" aka "The Platinum Control Panel" has significantly evolved since we first developed it. Originally developed to manage multiple Veretekk systems it has come a long way and if you have one or have considered getting one come to these seminars.

If you have no idea what a Market Manager is or have no direct knowledge of what Veretekk is come to these seminars, if, you want to increase your knowledge of the nature of Internet marketing, develop a different perspective and increase your abilities to succeed.

As the old saying goes, "Knowledge is Power".

If you are a Veretekk subscriber you also need to be aware that I am about to unleash my marketing on Veretekk virtually for the first time since Veretekk started. What you need to be aware of that when I market Veretekk I promote the root domain. When we send business to the root domain it distributes those "leads" equitably among our Gold subscribers.

I am preparing to send 10 million email notices out to a legitimate mailing company that guaranties excellent delivery to their lists.

Sending 10 million emails and we get a 20% open rate that is 2 million emails opened. The company guaranties at least a 75% open rate.

Of those 2 million 10% actually go to the site. That is 200,000 site visitors.

Of that 200,000 5% signup, that is 10,000 new Silver members all distributed to our Gold subscribers.

Of that 10,000 20% upgrade to the 30 day free trial, that is 2,000 Gold free trial upgrade and of that 50% continue with that system, that is 1000 paying Gold accounts that may wind up underneath you if you have a Gold account.

This campaign launches within weeks. This is literally just the beginning. V2 is going to explode.

But wait there is another angle to this campaign. Those members in our V2 Bull Pen will be an integral part to another aspect of this campaign. As you know repeated exposure in marketing seriously increases response. We are going to co-op this campaign with many of our Bull Pen members with a series of different marketing emails so this emailing occurs daily across these services databases over a period of 30 days exposure.

You will want to be part of this. If you are not a member of our Bull Pen you are invited to join.

The V2 Bull Pen http://veretekk.com/2/group.php?id=413

How to command and control the top 1000 Alexa ranked systems for your marketing advantage!

Now lets get to the good stuff. Building a huge Authority site list that you manage with the Market Manager. I will be spending several hours demonstrating how this is done effectively and how it is easily managed for Blogs, Forums, EDU sites, Social Networks, Social Book markings, Social marketing systems, etc.

http://www.kobashicomputing.com/the-top-1000-alexa-ranked-websites-with-google-page-rank

In conclusion:

We are going to teach you how to be self reliant in the face of the greatest challenges we have ever faced. That is the mission of Veretekk of V2. To be self-reliant by having the tools, the society and the support of V2. Liberty, that's our calling. Do you hear it? We do!

Come to my seminar. Invite your sphere of influence. Post the seminar invite everywhere you can. Lets see this visitor system work!

Work At Home Internet Forum

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It originated as the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.

People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic made from the discussions.

Early Internet forums could be described as a web version of an electronic mailing list or newsgroup such as exist on Usenet; allowing people to post messages and comment on other messages. Later developments emulated the different newsgroups or individual lists, providing more than one forum, dedicated to a particular topic.

Internet forums are prevalent in several developed countries. In terms of countable posts, Japan is far in the lead with over two million posts per day on their largest forum, 2channel. China also has many millions of posts on forums such as Tianya Club.

Forums perform a function similar to that of dial-up bulletin board systems and Usenet networks that were first created starting in the late 1970s. Early web-based forums date back as far as 1996. A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer games and/or video games, sports, music, fashion, religion, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of topics. Internet slang and image macros popular across the Internet are abundant and widely used in Internet forums.

Forum software packages are widely available on the Internet and are written in a variety of programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP. The configuration and records of posts can be stored in text files or in a database. Each package offers different features, from the most basic, providing text-only postings, to more advanced packages, offering multimedia support and formatting code usually known as BBCode. Many packages can be integrated easily into an existing website to allow visitors to post comments on articles.

Several other web applications, such as weblog software, also incorporate forum features. Wordpress comments at the bottom of a blog post allow for a single-threaded discussion of any given blog post. Slashcode, on the other hand, is far more complicated, allowing fully threaded discussions and incorporating a robust moderation and meta-moderation system as well as many of the profile features available to forum users.

Forums are governed by a set of individuals, collectively referred to as staff, made up of administrators and moderators, which are responsible for the forums' conception, technical maintenance, and policies creation and enforcing. Most forums have a list of rules detailing the wishes, aim and guidelines of the forums creators. There is usually also a FAQ section contain basic information for new members and people not yet familiar with the use and principles of a forum generally tailored for specific forum software.

Rules on forums usually apply to the entire user body and often have preset exceptions, most commonly designating a section as an exception. For example, in an IT forum any discussion regarding anything but computer programming languages may be against the rules, with the exception of a general chat section.

Forum rules are maintained and enforced by the moderation team, but users are allowed to help out via what is known as a report system. Most American forum software contains such a system. It consists of a small function applicable to each post including one's own. Using it will notify all currently available moderators of its location, and subsequent action or judgment can be carried out immediately, which is particularly desirable in large or very developed boards. Generally, moderators encourage members to also use the private message system if they wish to report behavior. Moderators will generally frown upon attempts of moderation by non-moderators, especially when the would-be moderators do not even issue a report. Messages from non-moderators acting as moderators generally declare a post as against the rules, or predict punishment. While not harmful, statements which attempt to enforce the rules are discouraged.

When rules are broken several steps are commonly taken. First a warning is usually given; this is commonly in the form of a private message but recent development has made it possible for it to be integrated into the software. Subsequently, if the act is ignored and warnings do not work, the member is usually first exiled from the forum for a number of days. Denying someone access to the site is called a ban. Bans can mean the person can no longer log in or even view the site anymore. If the offender, after the warning sentence, repeats the offense, another ban is given, usually this time a longer one. Continuous harassment of the site eventually leads to a permanent ban. However, in most cases this simply means the account is locked. In extreme cases where the offender after being permanently banned creates another account and continues to harass the site, administrators will apply an IP ban this can also be applied at the server level: if the IP is static, the machine of the offender is prevented from accessing the site. In some extreme circumstances, IP range bans or country bans can be applied; however, this is usually for political, licensing or other reasons.

Offending content is usually deleted. Sometimes if the topic is considered the source of the problem, it is locked; often a poster may request a topic expected to draw problems to be locked as well, although the moderators decide whether to grant it. In a locked thread, members cannot post anymore. In cases where the topic is considered a breach of rules it – with all of its posts – may be deleted.

A thread sometimes called a topic is a collection of posts, usually displayed from oldest to latest, although this is typically configurable: options for newest to oldest and for a threaded view a tree like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarize the intended discussion, and an opening or original post common abbreviation OP, which can also mean original poster which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished. A thread can contain any number of posts, including multiple posts from the same members, even if they are one after the other.

A thread is contained in a forum, and may have an associated date which is taken as the date of the last post options to order threads by other criteria are generally available. When a member posts in a thread it will jump to the top since it is the latest updated thread. Similarly, other threads will jump in front of it when they receive posts. When a member posts in a thread for no reason but to have it go to the top, it is referred to as a bump or bumping. Threads which are important but rarely receive posts are stickyed. A sticky thread will always appear in front of normal threads, often in its own section.

A threads popularity is measured on forums in reply total posts minus one the opening post counts. Some forums also track page views. Threads meeting a set number of posts or a set number of views may receive a designation such as hot thread and be displayed with a different icon compared to others threads. This icon may stand out more to emphasize the thread.

A forum, just like any website, is only as good as its content. The richness of any work at home forum is entirely dependent upon the writing ability, and the members who post to said forum regularly.

It is the purpose of the work at home forum here, to provide Google readers with excellent information in regards to the art and science of working at home. There has never been a better time in history for the work at home field. Joining a business, then developing that business to its full potential, is the goal of ItsGoodBusiness.net (read more)

In putting together this site, http://anti-inflammation.net to tell the story concerning the ongoing issue that we all face with inflammation, I have done extensive research on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches about this topic. Without a doubt, inflammation is something that is an issue for most, and we all have the opportunity to deal with that inflammation issue with the use of products especially designed to eliminate and ease our pain due to the problems associated with that inflammation issue.

Even thought the anti-inflammation product that I promote is not a cure, it is actually being seen as one of the best sources of easing the pain and suffering of people who have chronic inflammation issues.

Who would think that prickly pear cactus, grown primarily in the desert Southwest, could in fact, help ease that problem? For myself, and my family, TriVita offers the answers to the inflammation problem quite adequately. The special blend of anti-oxidants and Nopal cactus juice does work from hundreds of thousands around the world. Now, with TriVita entering the world of Australian Business, there is even more work to be done on a worldwide basis for people who need answers to handling their inflammation issues naturally and simply.

On the Anti-Inflammation Product site, many videos, podcasts and written content can be found in the area of helping others to solve chronic and painful inflammation issues. Of course, my purpose is to inform my Google readers and followers of the importance and far ranging effects that inflammation can cause on the human body. It makes perfect sense to me, that finding, and then purchasing and using anti-inflammation products is the answer that we all need to the problem.

If in fact, inflammation is an issue for you, and you wish to become a reseller of anti-inflammation products, and even earn money from promoting the work from home business, then surely clicking on these links will lead you to find out more information that you can use to begin a new path towards health, wellness and prosperity for 2011.

Prickly Pear Cactus

Opuntia, also known as nopales or paddle cactus, is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae.

Currently, only prickly pears are included in this genus of about 200[1] species distributed throughout most of the Americas. Chollas are now separated into the genus Cylindropuntia, which some still consider a subgenus of Opuntia. Austrocylindropuntia, Corynopuntia and Micropuntia are also often included in the present genus, but like Cylindropuntia they seem rather well distinct. Brasiliopuntia and Miqueliopuntia are closer relatives of Opuntia.

The most commonly culinary species is the Indian and Southwestern variety. Most culinary uses of the term prickly pear refer to this species. Prickly pears are also known as tuna, nopal or nopales, from the Nahuatl word nōpalli for the pads, or nostle, from the Nahuatl word nōchtli for the fruit; or paddle cactus (from the resemblance to the ball and paddle toy. This and similar species are native to Mexico.

Prickly pears typically grow with flat, rounded platyclades that are armed with two kinds of spines; large, smooth, fixed spines and small, hairlike prickles called glochids, that easily penetrate skin and detach from the plant. Many types of prickly pears grow into dense, tangled structures.

Like all true cactus species, prickly pears are native only to the Western hemisphere; however, they have been introduced to other parts of the globe. Prickly pear species are found in abundance in Mexico, especially in the central and western regions. They are also found in the Western United States, in arid regions in the Northwest, throughout the mid and lower elevations of the Rocky Mountains such as in Colorado, where species such as Opuntia phaeacantha, Opuntia polyacantha and others become dominant, and especially in the desert Southwest. Prickly pears are also the only types of cactus found to grow natively far east of the Great Plains states; O. humifusa is widespread throughout southern New England and Long Island, where it can be found in Northport, as well as throughout the northern Great Lakes states and southern Ontario, Canada. O. humifusa is also a prominent feature of the flora at Illinois Beach State Park, in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, north of Chicago, and of Indiana Dunes State Park southeast of Chicago.

Most species of Opuntia contain a range of alkaloids in ample quantities, notably substituted phenethylamines. While the mere presence of such compounds has been confirmed in many species without further details, they have been studied more thoroughly in others. Identified compounds of medical significance include 3 methoxytyramine, candicine, hordenine, N-methyltyramine, and tyramine. The Sicilian prickly pear contains the betalain antioxidants betanin and indicaxanthin, with highest levels in their fruits.

The stem of certain Opuntia have been investigated in the treatment of type II diabetes. Although some researchers have shown a blood glucose-lowering effect of streptacantha, another study of three other species of Opuntia showed no such effect. Yet another study, on megacantha, raised concern about toxic effects on the kidney.

It may be that certain species are effective and useful in diabetes while others are not, but this needs to be clarified with further research before recommending its use. Furthermore, when buying nopal in the market, it is impossible to know which species one is buying, and therefore whether or not it is useful in treating diabetes.

Indian Fig Opuntia might have a reducing effect on alcohol hangover by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators. Studies have yielded differing results, with some studies witnessing significant reductions in nausea, dry mouth, and loss of appetite as well as less risk of a severe hangover, while others witnessing no compelling evidence for effects on alcohol hangover. The gel like sap of prickly pears can be used as hair conditioner.

In Mexico and the Southwest, its pulp and juice have been used to treat numerous maladies, such as wounds and inflammations of the digestive and urinary tracts.

TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is solely responsible for introducing Nopalea, the liquid anti-inflammation product that is becoming well known for its incredible ability to reduce inflammation and pain in the human body. Michael Ellison, the CEO and Founder of TriVita, on his own wellness journey, came full circle with the prickly pear Nopal cactus plant properties, and saw the vision of helping people solve their health and wellness issues. While Nopalea is by no means a curative, it is helping hundreds of thousands of people around the world lead better and more pain free lives.

Australia Business

Australia is a very large country with a relatively small population - it is about the same size as the 48 States which make up the bulk of the USA but has a population half the size of that of California. Vast tracts of the country are virtually uninhabited, making Australia one of the most urbanized countries in the world. Australian business is inheritantly important to the world, and is constantly seeking new and better ways to provide Australian citizens with significant ways to earn money for financial security.

The lack of a domestic market of any real size, coupled with a comparative level of geographic isolation, means that Australian businesses increasingly recognize the need to look at international markets to ensure their own future prosperity as well as the future well-being of the country. Indeed, a criticism that has been levelled against Australian business organizations has been their slowness to take up the challenge of internationalization.

Thus, Australia finds itself needing to become ever more international in its outlook both economically and politically. The extremely successful economy is dependent upon trade with both the US and increasingly with key Asian countries such as Japan and China. Traditional British Commonwealth links have been declining in importance over several decades.

Now, Australian Business is certainly moving towards the work from home business era. With the introduction of TriVita, one of the most successful network marketing companies in the US, Australian business gets a better boost on the Internet, and provides our friends Down Under, with the ability to earn money from a SOHO, and enjoy better time freedom, and creative expression.

With the introduction of products like B12 Vitamins, TriVita will certainly have a large impact on the way that business will done on the Australian Google search engine.

TriVita

Inflammation can be considered a health issue that deserves our constant attention. TriVita is dedicated to information and systems that allow for our better living through nutrition. Here are some excellent ideas on pain management that one may implement within their own lives.

More than 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain. Many people find they can gain long-term control over their pain through many alternative methods like heat or cold application, music, relaxation, exercise, meditation, acupuncture and a positive attitude.

For the vast majority of people who have chronic pain, there just aren't any pharmacologic or physical interventions that can totally eliminate the pain, says University of Washington (Seattle) pain management expert Dennis C. Turk, PhD.

Pain is a chronic condition, just like hypertension or diabetes, Dr. Turk explains. When you have a chronic condition, you need to do more things for yourself. It's going to last a long time. It's best to help yourself and learn to self-manage and control your pain.

The Options

In addition to traditional pain relievers, non drug methods of pain relief may help you gain that control. Some techniques, such as imagery and the use of hot and cold relax the muscles, help you sleep, and distract you from symptoms. Others, such as music, movies, and recorded comedy routines, take your mind off your physical complaints, as does losing yourself in a good book.

While some remedies require little expertise or help from others, some may require instruction from a professional. Dr. Ronald Glick is the director of the University of Pittsburgh Pain Evaluation and Treatment Center. Dr. Glick recommends that patients seek advice from a chronic pain specialist who can coordinate all aspects of management, including physical therapies and psychological techniques.

While these pain relief techniques help many people with chronic pain, they are not cures for pain.

Heat and Cold

The most important thing about heat and cold is that it gives a sense of control, Dr. Turk says. They are things you can do yourself to help relieve the pain, which can immediately reduce the emotional stress.

Direct Application Heat and cold can be quite helpful for people with musculoskeletal conditions, says Dr. Turk. Something as simple as a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel can be a useful self-management technique that relieves muscle tension in the back, neck and shoulders.

Most of us are familiar with holding an ice pack on a twisted ankle or lying on a heating pad for a sore back. But hot and cold treatments can be used in other ways. Moist heat, which is often more effective than dry heat, can be applied with a warm towel or a soak in the tub. An elastic bandage can hold an ice pack in place. A small paper cup filled with water and kept in the freezer becomes an excellent tool for localized cold massage, while iced washcloths can cover a larger area.

Timing Apply heat or cold therapy for periods not to exceed 15 minutes. Allow the area to return to normal body temperature before reapplying the therapy. Some people obtain added relief by alternating heat and ice. Others use heat before exercising and ice after.

Skin Protection

Always place a towel between the cold or heat and the skin. Never lie directly on a heating pad, and if it feels too warm, take it off. Don't combine heat with pain relieving salves, such as mentholated ointments and aspirin creams.

Relaxation The relaxation response, is a term coined by Herbert Benson, MD, of the Mind-Body Medical Institute in Boston. It is an array of beneficial physiologic effects associated with focused relaxation. Some of which may mitigate the perception of pain. For best results, make relaxation a part of your daily routine.

There are a number of ways to invoke the relaxation response, and many audiotapes are available to help. One popular approach is to assume a comfortable position, take several deep breaths, and then focus on your breathing, or a word or sound, while passively avoiding intruding thoughts.

Muscle Relaxation Exercises

Progressive muscle relaxation is a technique that may be effective for both muscle spasm pain and stress reduction.

Relaxation skills are useful in reducing muscle tension, and can help reduce frustration and some of the stress, says Jennifer Markham, PhD, at the University of Pittsburgh Pain Clinic. Progressive muscle relaxation involves focusing your attention on each muscle group until it feels heavy and relaxed. You usually begin in the feet and gradually progress upward.

Imagery Exercises Imagery, which often accompanies the management of pain through relaxation, allows you to visualize what it would be like to let the pain go. If you know what is causing the pain, for instance a pinched nerve in the spine, the idea is to picture the encroaching vertebral space opening and freeing the trapped nerve. By calling on a variety of senses, you can take yourself to a favorite place, like the beach or the mountains. Music, nature sounds and instructional tapes make it easier for beginners to escape to a mental paradise.

Relaxation techniques redirect your thinking from physical pain and onto something else, says Penney Cowan, founder and executive director of the American Chronic Pain Association. Imagining the beach, the sun on your face and the warmth of the sand helps divert your mind from how much your head is hurting.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback offers a measurable response to relaxation and imagery techniques. Through the use of sensors connected to a computer, you receive visual or auditory cues that indicate an increase or decrease in muscle tension, heart rate and skin temperature. Using this feedback, you train yourself to control body functions that you normally don't even think about. Biofeedback may be useful in chronic pain or other conditions associated with muscle spasm or tension, like some headaches.

Exercise Although you may not feel like getting off the couch because you hurt so much, exercising within the confines of your physical limitations can decrease pain. Why? The reasons are complex, but one prominent theory is that exercise releases endorphins, which are natural pain relieving chemicals in your brain.

Exercise is absolutely critical, says Dr. Turk. The type of exercise will depend on the condition, but as a general rule of thumb, the more active you remain and the more you use your muscles, the better off you're going to be.

A physical therapist can tailor an initial exercise plan based on your capacity to exercise, and then gradually make recommendations for increasing how much you do and for how long. Pain experts recommend pacing activities. Overdoing it on good days can come back to haunt you later. It's fine to cut back on your exercise during a flare-up of your pain, but it's important to resume your exercise routine as soon as you feel better.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of Chinese Medicine. It involves insertion of very thin needles into the skin at different and very specific points of the body. It has been shown to be effective for treatment of chronic back pain and some forms of pain resulting from nerve damage. It requires several treatments, usually between 2-5 before a response can be seen. Results of acupuncture also largely depend on the skills of the acupuncturist.

Meditation

The benefits of meditation go beyond relaxation response. Studies show that daily meditation may be an excellent tool in fighting chronic pain. There are a variety of different meditation techniques and one should choose a mediation style that is comfortable for him or her. Meditation can be done easily in the privacy of one’s home.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis has nothing to do with popular images of stage performance. It was first utilized as a therapeutic modality more than 100 years ago. It is a well documented technique that can be useful in chronic pain management. It is done by a trained and licensed therapist. The exact way by which hypnosis works is not fully understood. It induces the state of focused awareness, which is known to alleviate many forms of pain.

Attitude and Communication

How you think about your aches and discomforts, your level of anxiety and depression, your expectations, and your ability to cope determines how much pain you feel. Cognitive-behavior modification techniques help change unhealthy attitudes and habits that can develop when pain is chronic.

Concentrate on your abilities and find pleasure in the things you can do rather than dwelling on activities that have become difficult because of your pain. Communicate with family members and explain how you're feeling. Don't expect loved ones to read your mind.

Psychology helps people begin to understand they do have some control, even if they don't have a magic wand to make the pain go away, says Dr. Markham. When they realize they have some control over their pain, it gives them hope.

TriVita products provide solutions to health and wellness. This article talks about the importance of B12 in the diet.

Sublingual B12 Works Best when it Melts Under Your Tongue – July 2008 VitaJournal, Page8

Dr. Libby's original patented formula absorbs better than taking B vitamins orally by Dr. Scott Conard, M.D.

Dr. Alfred Libby is responsible for patenting the technology that allows B vitamins to get into your bloodstream without an injection or swallowing a pill. His Sublingual B12, B6 & Folic Acid simply dissolves under the tongue and speeds these critical nutrients right to where they are needed most. But how exactly does that work? What's the 'big deal' about a pill melting instead of being swallowed?

The fact is, there's a significant difference. 'Sublingual' is based on Latin words that literally mean 'under the tongue.' Certain substances – including some heart drugs like nitroglycerine, steroids, barbiturates and other medications – are easier to get into the bloodstream in this manner. Mucus membranes under your tongue lead to the epithelium, which is another membrane lining beneath your tongue. Like your skin, this membrane is not impermeable; and in fact, quite the opposite. The epithelium absorbs some nutrients very well, and passes them along to areas rich in blood vessels beneath the tongue. These blood vessels attach to the sublingual artery, which in turn attaches to the lingual artery. The next stop is your carotid artery, which carries a sublingual substance to your brain. Substances such as vitamins are thus able to enter the bloodstream and reach your brain very quickly.

Think about your digestive system for a moment: it's a complicated organ. Vitamin B12 absorption is the most complicated. It requires the acid concentration in the stomach to be high (this can be affected by medications that prevent reflux or ulcers), the stomach has to make a protein (intrinsic factor) that binds the B12, and then this bound B12intrinsic factor complex must be absorbed in the small intestine. That means that there are a lot of things that could go wrong! That's why sublingual B12 delivery works: It bypasses the complex digestive system process, by being absorbed while under the tongue.

The key to sublingual nutrients working is allowing them to dissolve fully under the tongue. Chewing and swallowing Sublingual B12 pills might be tempting given their sweet taste, but it is crucial to their effectiveness that you allow them to melt completely. You'll still get the great taste, plus the full benefit of these nutrients designed sublingually to help you make sure you get the B12 you need when you need it!

TriVita

By Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer

About this time of year many people ask me what they can do to prevent the flu or minimize its impact. That has never seemed more relevant than today; so, I will address this with the best science we have available today. I say “today’s best science” because we simply don’t know everything we need to know about preventing and treating the flu. And we need to remember that not all that long ago “current science” said that the earth was flat and diseases were caused by evils spells or dead ancestors.

Many people never get the flu – no matter which strain we are talking about. Do you? When you get the flu, are your symptoms severe? Are there high-risk people living with you? Then your preference for or against preventive measures must take them into consideration. (What if you got it and survived but transmitted it to them and they died? How would you feel?) In any case, 35,000–40,000 people in North America die of the flu each year. It is estimated that this number will double with H1N1.

Flu protection

There are three pathways you need to focus on with flu protection – any variety: Transmission Infection Inflammation Inflammation

We will begin at the ending: Inflammation from the immune system that incapacitates – even kills – people when they have the flu. MOST IMPORTANT: The flu kills people not by transmission or by infection, but by an inflammatory immune system response called the “cytokine storm.”

Our immune system is designed to neutralize and excrete any non-self protein it finds. That includes the influenza virus. The size of the immune response needs to be equivalent to the strength of the invader.

Think of this as a building on fire: small fires are extinguished by local fire fighters. Some fires are so big that fire fighters from other departments have to be called in to help. So, fires are designated as “one-alarm,” “two-alarm,” “three-alarm,” and so on. At a certain point, our immune system pulls all of the alarms and immune system fractions from all over our body rush to put out the fire, so to speak. However, this is a case of fighting fire with fire. Cytokines are inflammatory. They kill viruses and bacteria by creating inflammation.

The cytokine storm is responsible for all of the symptoms we feel: fever, body aches, nausea, diarrhea, etc. It is also responsible for filling the lungs with mucous (pneumonia/pneumonitis) which is often the fatal trigger in influenza, SARS, Hanta virus, bubonic plague, etc.

To survive we must modulate the cytokine storm so that it does its job but doesn’t overwork and kill us. We make it work smarter, not harder. So we don’t use Vitamin C or Echinacea or anything that “boosts” the immune system. We use immune system modulators so we get exactly the right response. Quercetin (Betalains in Nopalea are quercetin bioflavonoids), green tea polyphenols (found in Energy Now!) and ginseng (Panax and Eleutherococcus found in Adaptogen 10 Plus) all balance the immune system and decrease the cytokine storm.

Infection

Prior to the cytokine storm is the infection stage of influenza. The virus infects the cell by matching a cell receptor called Hemagglutinin. Hemagglutinin (the “H” in H1N1) allows the virus to gain entry to the cell and mutate the cell DNA so it can breed an infection. It also allows the newly mutated DNA to be incorporated into surrounding cells and through cell lines. Hemagglutinin describes “infection” with the flu. Two powerful natural inhibitors of Hemagglutinin are green tea polyphenols and ginseng (Panax and Eleutherococcus) found in Super Sublingual B12.

Transmission

Neuraminidase describes “transmission” of the flu where the virus disarms the immune system with an enzyme. This is the “N” in H1N1, H5N1. Neuraminidase inhibitors like Tamiflu limit the ability of the virus to transmit its DNA strands. Two strong natural Neuraminidase inhibitors are green tea polyphenols and quercetin (Betalains in Nopalea are quercetin bioflavonoids). It is likely that green tea polyphenols and quercetin will help your body do what it does best: resist infection. Think of them as the first line of defense to arm your immune system and prevent the flu virus from disarming it.

With the recent shortage of flu vaccinations and for daily flu protection, remember to always stock up and use these TriVita products on a daily basis to maintain a strong and healthy immune system. Nopalea Energy Now! Adaptogen 10 Plus Super Sublingual B12

By the way, the most common route of infection is touching your eyes with contaminated hands! Wash your hands frequently and dry your hands thoroughly to discourage infection. Also, the most common reason why people experience the runaway inflammation of a cytokine storm is poor sleep. Sleeping peacefully now becomes a matter of life and death!

Flat earth?

We don’t know all there is to know about flu prevention and treatment. There are endless avenues and processes we simply have not explored. Imagine what we knew about viruses 50 years ago: Do you think we will know more in the next 50 years? Certainly so! Accepting that as truth we know one thing for sure: some people never get the flu.

How can we be one of them?

Primarily it is through vigorous application of the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness. Practice deep breathing to reduce your body’s acidity and to reduce the impact of stress on your immune system. Drink plenty of pure water. Wash and thoroughly dry your hands often. Get plenty of early-morning sunshine. Sleep peacefully every night. Eat nutritiously and take the nutrients you need as a solid foundation for health. Play daily (enjoy activity) and surround yourself with healthy people you love. These are the things that keep healthy people healthy and they can help you, too!

Wash and dry your hands many times daily. Get your rest every night. Eat nutritiously and supplement appropriately. Avoid sick people for two weeks after they recover. (read more)

TriVita

TriVita, the epicenter of health and wellness on the Internet, provides answers to stress, and living fuller and richer lives. At this time of year, we all face pressures, demands and meeting expectations. The main thing to remember is this. Why feel that pressure?

How to Beat Holiday Stress

There are four insults that cause imbalance in our body and mind: trauma, toxins, deficiencies and stress. There are 10 Essential tools that we have in our immediate control to combat the forces of stress.

The best definition for stress of any kind is change. Stress can be from changes outside our body temperature, sunlight, noise and other factors from inside our body including hunger, dehydration, lack of rest, etc., or even from our own thoughts social expectations, time pressures, financial worries and other factors. With so many changes occurring around the holidays, and on so many levels, it is always wise to talk about holiday stress as a special cause of imbalance.

The destructive power of stress

The term stress was originally used as an engineering term. It describes the destructive forces acting on specific structures. For instance, stress was the term used to describe the effect of weight on a bridge. Stress describes not only the weight on the bridge, but the combination of destructive forces trying to tear the bridge apart such as weight, wind, temperature extremes, etc.

Is that not the way people feel when they are under stress? Do you feel like you are being pulled in every direction until you are pulled apart? Stress is a good description of the distress of our mind and body brought on by internal and external demands.

The healing power of homeostasis

Humans are remarkably resilient. We adapt to new situations with relative ease. This is because of a body process called homeostasis. If stress is pulling us apart, homeostasis is putting us back together. As long as homeostasis has access to all of the resources it needs we will never feel the destructive power of stress.

The key is to have all of our 10 Essential resources available all of the time:

To be optimally oxygenated and hydrated.
To be perfectly rested and nourished.
To feel completely supported and able to cope with any emotional demand at any given moment.

A reservoir like this will allow homeostasis to draw resources from our bank account and use them to satisfy the many demands placed upon us.

It you are lacking in any demanded resource, a special function of homeostasis will be engaged. I like to call it the Robin Hood function, and it allows our body to rob one area to support another area. This is often seen in the special stress adaptation called fight or flight. Fight or Flight response is like emergency spending with credit cards. This kind of behavior may help you get through the crisis, but sooner or later the debt must be repaid.

In the Robin Hood function of homeostasis, the debt comes at an extreme price. It is not uncommon for a body under stress to sacrifice an entire organ or organ system to maintain balance in another system. For example, osteoporosis is more common in people under extreme stress because their bones are robbed to supply nutrients needed for the stress response. Homeostasis must be maintained, even if this is at great sacrifice.

Holiday stress?

With this image in mind it is no wonder that people feel pulled apart around the holidays; there are just too many changes and too few resources available to meet the demands of homeostasis. Stress pulls us apart and our health suffers.

Since health resources are accumulated slowly and spent rapidly, it makes sense to reclassify holiday stresses as just plain stress! The methods for dealing with any kind of stress are the same no matter what time of the year and it is nutrients and nurturing.

Anti stress nutrients include the stress busting effects of Vitamin B,12 and adaptogens. They serve to reinforce homeostasis like an economic stimulus package for our nervous system. If you feel stress pulling you apart, take more of these two special anti stress nutrients.

Nurturing your health comes from vigorously applying the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness. Plan ahead and budget your energy for times when demands are greater and you face more changes than usual. In the end, do not be afraid to say no. It can literally be the difference between maintaining balance through homeostasis or being pulled apart by stress.

Sublingual B-12 Works Best when it Melts Under Your Tongue Sublingual B-12 Works Best when it Melts Under Your Tongue.

Dr. Libby's original patented formula absorbs better than taking B vitamins orally by Dr. Scott Conard, M.D.

Dr. Alfred Libby is responsible for patenting the technology that allows B vitamins to get into your bloodstream without an injection or swallowing a pill. His Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid simply dissolves under the tongue and speeds these critical nutrients right to where they are needed most. But how exactly does that work? What's the 'big deal' about a pill melting instead of being swallowed?

The fact is, there's a significant difference. 'Sublingual' is based on Latin words that literally mean 'under the tongue.' Certain substances – including some heart drugs like nitroglycerine, steroids, barbiturates and other medications – are easier to get into the bloodstream in this manner. Mucus membranes under your tongue lead to the epithelium, which is another membrane lining beneath your tongue. Like your skin, this membrane is not impermeable; and in fact, quite the opposite. The epithelium absorbs some nutrients very well, and passes them along to areas rich in blood vessels beneath the tongue. These blood vessels attach to the sublingual artery, which in turn attaches to the lingual artery. The next stop is your carotid artery, which carries a sublingual substance to your brain. Substances such as vitamins are thus able to enter the bloodstream and reach your brain very quickly.

Think about your digestive system for a moment: it's a complicated organ. Vitamin B-12 absorption is the most complicated. It requires the acid concentration in the stomach to be high (this can be affected by medications that prevent reflux or ulcers), the stomach has to make a protein (intrinsic factor) that binds the B-12, and then this bound B-12-intrinsic factor complex must be absorbed in the small intestine. That means that there are a lot of things that could go wrong! That's why sublingual B-12 delivery works: It bypasses the complex digestive system process, by being absorbed while under the tongue.

The key to sublingual nutrients working is allowing them to dissolve fully under the tongue. Chewing and swallowing Sublingual B-12 pills might be tempting given their sweet taste, but it is crucial to their effectiveness that you allow them to melt completely. You'll still get the great taste, plus the full benefit of these nutrients designed sublingually to help you make sure you get the B-12 you need when you need it!

TriVita

TriVita is representative of a stable and viable business model using network marketing as their overall plan of success. Below, read content that distinguishes what makes an MLM business thrive, or conversely fail.

What makes a viable work at home business? What distinguished one from another. Though the business model may be network marketing, or MLM, the basic principle of building that business is the same. One would find a company to join, then begin the process of learning the backoffice navigation of the program. Its an amazing element in a work at home business, but did you know that very few people really learn how to use their backoffices? Its a fact that people who join any type of work at program never really fully develop that into a solid paying income stream. So much for the failure rate being so high, right? The reason that most fail is simple. They really do not take full advantage of the tools that are available to them, no matter what company that they are choosing to promote.

There are many types of work from home businesses, but today, we will talk a little about network marketing, and MLM businesses in general. Both are basically the same; however, there are systems in place that distinguish the two quite a bit. Many people consider MLM a bad word. In reality all of life operates on a pyramid of one sort or another. The USA operates fully on the pyramid chain of command theory, so it is really a matter of thinking on the individuals part that makes it good, or bad.

MLM or Multi-Level Marketing

Multilevel marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of others they recruit, creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation. Other terms for MLM include network marketing, direct selling, and referral marketing.

Although the products and company are supposed to be marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing, critics have charged that most MLMs are pyramid schemes. This is a gross exaggeration in this author's opinion. Making broad statements of this type about a business model is ridiculous, even though, there have been many MLM businesses that are scams and schemes.

MLM companies have been a frequent subject of criticism as well as the target of lawsuits. Criticism has focused on their similarity to illegal pyramid schemes, price fixing of products, high initial startup costs, emphasis on recruitment of lower tiered salespeople over actual sales, encouraging if not requiring salespeople to purchase and use the company's products, potential exploitation of personal relationships which are used as new sales and recruiting targets, complex and sometimes exaggerated compensation schemes, and cult like techniques which some groups use to enhance their members' enthusiasm and devotion. Not all MLM companies operate the same way, and MLM groups have persistently denied that their techniques are anything but legitimate business practices. Once again, a jaded expression of this particular author concerning the MLM process. I suppose that he, or she, would make the statement that the USA is not a stable and viable entity? Preposterous statements like this are always being made concerning the work at home industry. The fact is, it is the only option available to most in this fastly becoming deleted economy of which we find ourselves living with today.

The FTC warns "Not all multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. Some are pyramid schemes. It's best not to get involved in plans where the money you make is based primarily on the number of distributors you recruit and your sales to them, rather than on your sales to people outside the plan who intend to use the products." After experiencing many years of schemes and scams, it is no wonder that the mass of people searching for legitimate work from home businesses find themselves in a constant struggle between good and evil. Generally, if a business sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. It is up to the individual to diligently seek answers, and ask questions of other owners of MLM business models to determine if that is the right one to become involved with.

Network Marketing

Network marketing is along the same lines as MLM with a bit of a difference. In network marketing, the affiliate members may choose to market their businesses by using the conventional approaches of seeking out friends, family and other spheres of influence that they may have. Approaching business in this manner can lead to frustration and often, bad feelings. Its a fact that if one brings in a friend or associate, under the guise of making a lot of money, then that friend may wind up to be an enemy. Having been down that road on several occasions, it is advised to stay far away from good friends in the marketing process.

Direct Selling

Direct selling is marketing and selling products, direct to consumers away from a fixed retail location. Sales are typically made through party plan, one to one demonstrations, and other personal contact arrangements. A text book definition is: "The direct personal presentation, demonstration, and sale of products and services to consumers, usually in their homes or at their jobs."

Industry representative, the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA), reports that its 59 regional member associations accounted for more than US$114 Billion in retail sales in 2007, through the activities of more than 62 million independent sales representatives.

According to the WFDSA, consumers benefit from direct selling because of the convenience and service it provides, including personal demonstration and explanation of products, home delivery, and generous satisfaction guarantees. In contrast to franchising, the cost for an individual to start an independent direct selling business is typically very low with little or no required inventory or other cash commitments to begin.

The United States Direct Selling Association (DSA) reported that in 2000, 55% of adult Americans had at some time purchased goods or services from a direct selling representative and 20% reported that they were currently(6%) or had been in the past(14%) a direct selling representative.

Most direct selling associations, including the Bundesverband Direktvertrieb Deutschland, the direct selling association of Germany, and the WFDSA and DSA require their members to abide by a code of conduct towards a fair partnership both with customers and salesmen. Most national direct selling associations are represented in the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA).

Direct selling is distinct from direct marketing because it is about individual sales agents reaching and dealing directly with clients. Direct marketing is about business organizations seeking a relationship with their customers without going through an agent consultant or retail outlet.

No matter what mode and method is used to build a stable work at home business, there is one thing that should be made very clear. It is not easy, simple or quick, and there are no shortcuts in this industry. Whatever the individual chooses to pursue, it is a wise person that must choose to work diligently, or fall prey and become yet another statistic in failure rate statistics. (read more)

TriVita is the Stable Business Model for the Future Work At Home

When you consider working at home, what is the primary reason that you have for entering into that realm of business on the Internet? Obviously, there must be some reason that you choose to start a successful work at home business, but what is the main reasons that you can name, within your own mind, for wanting to live a little differently than simply have a job like everyone else?

There are many reasons that people choose to work at home, and I will only name a few in this article.

Time Freedom

Time freedom means being able to live life on your own terms. Time freedom allows you to spend your quality time in being with the people that you wish to be with, and literally being able to determine your own destiny in your own unique way. That freedom is amazing when you are able to create that type of lifestyle for yourself. You literally have the world at your feet, and can come and go and do what you want, when you want, and no one has the right to tell you otherwise. Time freedom is really the essence of a work at home business model.

Creative Expression

I am sure that you have been involved in some type of business where your time was not your own. You were dictated to by some boss, eight hours per day, five days a week or more, and really, you have been stuck in a rut. You wake in the morning dreading what you face in that job, and are literally drowning in your own pool of sweat thinking about having to go another day, doing the same routine as you have always done. This is not living, this is slavery. This is what a work at home business can do for you. It can free your time so that you can creatively learn to build your life in your own way. Is that not the pure essence of working at home? I believe, that surely this is the goal that should be addressed.

Earning More Money

Obviously, it will take time, effort, diligence and an undying desire to create a business on the Internet, but once that is accomplished, the money will flow in, and the earning made from that work at home business will be far greater than most salaries paid today. In today's economy, surely this is the option, and the ONLY option that we have in building a life for ourselves and families. Working at home gives you the ability to create wealth on your own terms. Your path will not be easy or simple, and you will need to be prepared to come and LEARN BEFORE YOU EARN in this business. That is the crucial thing to remember. There are no simple and quick solutions to working in a home business. You will definitely spend a lifetime of work and effort to achieve your dreams and goals here, but that effort will be rewarded if you stick to a solid business plan for the future.

So, here is the question. Are you ready to learn more about his process? Then your job is to fill out this contact form. Once I receive the information, I will be in contact with you as soon as possible. I will not sell, convince, coerce or lie to you about this business model. I will give you the facts, and then YOU determine whether or not you wish to join my work at home business.

TriVita is a long term investment business. It is obviously not for someone who needs to get rich in a month!

When I compose articles for promoting my work at home business, I always use real time information. I use actual events that have either happened in the near past, or others that have happened to me along the way. Today's article will address the problem that most people have in building a substantial business on the Internet.

The phone rings this morning, just before lunch, and I take the call, and its my long time acquaintance, let's just call him John. John says, "hey Butch, how you been doing. Have you got just a few minutes to talk?" Naturally I said that I did. I expected to get marketed to because John has been involved in more deals to make money from a home business than I can even count. John pitched me on the latest and greatest business that with only four signups, you get your system paid for. When I asked John as the value of the business, he drew a blank. He asked, " what do you mean?" I simply stated that why should I join the business, and how would it help me to market my other businesses that I do have currently. "Well, its kinda like a buying club. You save money on groceries, buying cars and all kinds of different types of services.

Obviously, it would seem to me that these guys are trying to pull the oldest trick in the book on people. There are supposedly trying to out do Sam's Club. Now, I do not know about you, but obviously, I can save money, buy the goods and services that I need, and save money by just driving a few short blocks and going to Sam's Club. I do not need this wheel re-invented, and am certainly not looking for a new pre-launch business to join.

Not only this, but he is going to market this business using IBUZZPRO! This company I have gone head to head with on numerous occasions for the simple fact that my phone number gets picked up by their Internet scraping services regularly. I believe that they are the worst examples that the Interment can offer in terms of marketing.

Is it not time for people to actually LEARN before they EARN in the work from home business industry? I spoke with John about educational marketing, and how you should talk with your leads about business plans. Pitching them your newest and greatest deal will only appeal to other MLM junkies like John! When I tried to convey my point about the right way to build a business, it just fell on deaf ears.

A prime example of the mentality of people looking for quick money online. Has never happened, and never will folks. This is the out and out truth of the matter, no matter what you have seen, read or that master marketer that you have been approach by on the phone.

I do not know about you, reader, but quite frankly I am sick of these wanna be, get rich quick, MLM junkie, tell story and BS mocksters and rejects of the work from home business world trying to sell me on their brand new deals. Look, I have the best business in the world. I have consistently worked my business for over seven years. I have learned how to market that business on the Internet very successfully. I am not looking to join YOUR next deal, as I know that is just another dead end street that leads to the once again failure rate business in the work from home world.

It was funny; however, at the end of the conversation, he mentioned that he would like to try a bottle of Nopalea, the anti-inflammation product from TriVita. I said that I would be glad to send it over to him. Just maybe, that product will help him to clear his thinking just a little. Oh well, I just keep building my business while the rest of the world sits on their hands planning to get started, maybe tomorrow?

Autoresponders and the Importance of Them

The importance of autoresponders in running a successful work at home business cannot be over emphasized. There is much more than meets the eye when setting up, and then utilizing the autoresponder system to follow up with people who fill out contact forms on your sites. An automatic responder system, when fully utilized, is one of the best sources of income for your work from home business opportunity. Sadly, most use them to pitch their latest and greatest deals. This turns prospects into opt outs very quickly. After all, how many times have you wanted to know more about a business, only to fill out a form, and literally be inundated with all types of nonsensical BS about getting rich quick in a work at home business? I know for a fact that when I see this type of information flooding into my inbox, I am out of there very quickly.

Autoresponders should provide your readers with value. In other words, provide your reader with good information, insights, perspectives and value, and they will continue to read your articles from now on. I have made sales from my prospects over a year into receiving my valuable information. This says a great deal about the power of a good solid autoresponder email marketing system.

You should be aware that certain words trigger spam signals in the various email service providers. You should be able to take some time and research your deliverability of your emails, and even track those to see how many times they are opened. If you have a low rate of opens, then you know that no one is seeing your information. If you simply pitch deals, and let the chips fall where they may, then you will wind up with a zero balance in your checking account at the end of the month.

Autoresponders make you money, if approached the right way. Most people are in such a rush to develop an income from a work from home business, they simply do not have time, nor the inclination to actually learn how to build that business model. Darting from one area to the next without becoming fully educated in the process, will lead to dismal failure in the long run.

In the work at home world, its fairly obvious that people are hurting financially. With today's economic climate somewhat stifled, it may be just the place that people are turning to in droves, to find an answer to their financial woes. Its also a huge misconception to think that you can join a work at home MLM or network marketing business, and receive instant success. Honestly, any business that is promoted in this way should be steered clear of, as it is nothing more than trying to appeal to your baser emotions. NO business can be built overnight. NO business can be made to earn you $10000 per month in the first 30 days. NO business pays immediate financial rewards, no matter what the website says. Undoubtedly this is not the way to talk with people about starting a work at home business.

You should be well prepared to come and work years in any business that you choose to join. There will be systems, techniques, strategies and knowledge that will need to be gained before you have an inclination towards putting money in the bank. I know from personal experience that people who are hurting financially, are looking for the easy way out. Oh sure, they may be willing to pull out the plastic money card to join a business, but only in hopes of receiving instant gratification from joining said business. It simply does not happen this way, and it never has.

If you are looking for the quick fix in a work at home business, then surely you will fall prey to the industry, just like the some 95% of others who have joined businesses and simply failed. These people had the best of intentions when joining the business, but in a few months they will start getting that itchy feeling that maybe, just maybe, there is something else in the work at home field that would be more lucrative. This leads to the constant jumping around from one business to another in hopes of finding that business that will make them rich. It just does not happened this way, yet people fall for it at an alarming rate each and every day on the Internet. Its almost as if they are drawn to the aspect of getting rich in a work at home business. Excitement leads to bad judgement, and bad results. These will be the people who will be the first to go to the scam boards, and tell their woes about a certain MLM business ripped them off. That business did not rip them off, they failed the business model, but trying to convince them of this is no easy matter.

Finding a good solid and stable work at home business like TriVita, one that is slow to grow, yet leads to success over the years, should be thought of as one to look further into. There is stability in slow growth, and I would much prefer to let that type of business build for the future, that I had jump into every pre-launch business model that is going to make me rich in a week or month.

Tonight, as I was reviewing once again, The Money Machine Ebook, written by Tom Prendergast, I am finding more gems of knowledge and expertise in which to write about the work at home industry. After being involved in working at home, I have seen the Internet, and the business models change. I have been constantly in the process of re-evaluating my thoughts and ideas, in order to provide my readers with good information concerning the process.

Below, find an except from this wonderful ebook, and learn as the master speaks on what it takes to become successful in a work at home business model on the Internet.

You Need To apply yourself and work!

Take time to work; it is the price of success! By far the biggest joke online must be the one that tells you that you do not need to do anything to make money! You know what I mean:

30 minutes a week is all it takes!

Or this one;
You do not do anything, we do all the work for you! All you do is collect your cash!

These are the pitches of frustrated desperate people. They have been taught the lies from the self proclaimed Gurus, that teach the Fake it tell you Make it. I know, I have been in the audience and have heard this. When I first got involved in Network Marketing. My instincts told me, that this was wrong. It went against my character and I never indulged in this devious type of deception.

To achieve success requires determination, discipline and a lot of work. But it is worth it! With that said, yes, there comes a time, somewhere down the road, when you have been at it for a while already, that indeed all you have to do is spend 30 minutes a day or a few hours per week to maintain the momentum of your online business. That is true and highly possibly.

A successful business takes years! Are you listening to me? This is a fact. It takes years to build and nurture and invest in your business. All successful business owners know this. It rarely happens over night. There are many good reasons, it should take time.

To achieve great wealth without great effort will destroy you. You have probably heard the stories of people who win a million dollars in a lottery. What you may not be aware of, those same people years later are broke, lost everything and many on drugs or in jail. That wealth without discipline and great sacrifice is nothing more than a curse.

Remember that as you toil for years before you start to see great success. You are being prepared for success by working, sacrificing and developing discipline.

It is like farming or growing a garden. You must prepare the earth so it is fertile. You must plant the seeds in the fertile soil you prepared. You must water those seeds, and take care of the sprouts so they grow strong and productive. You need to feed your garden with good fertilizer. You must cultivate your garden so it grows unencumbered by weeds and pests, and then the day comes for harvest. And a sweet harvest it is.

Like my own business, I have spent over 10 years building it. I developed a clientele, gave them more than I promised and treat them like gold. Some things worked other things did not.

I consistently kept at it. Putting back into my business the money it created. I sacrificed to let the business grow. I listened, pursued knowledge, researched and developed as it grew. I let my creativity expand and trusted my intuition. I allowed myself to make mistakes; being forgiving of those mistakes and learned from them. I continued to rebuild and improve, never accepting failure or ever quitting. There have been times of prosperity and I used that to invest into the company and save for the hard times. There were hard times and I worked even harder during the challenges, never giving up. After more than ten years the business is strong and I still pour everything into it. Always focused on my clients best interest to deliver to them the best I can do.

Veretekk is prosperous, and I share that prosperity with my clients and partners. Always focusing on the future growth of my company. I take care of it and it takes care of me. Business is a relationship. Like a marriage, it is long term and I have never had the mindset that I would try, I have always had the mind set that I would succeed and treat my business with respect.

Like a garden, I plant, cultivate and harvest always building for a stronger season in the future.

But if you are like most beginning marketers, who start out online with little or no available funds, then you will have to labor to bring your business up to a level that it can run by itself by means of you being able to hire people to do the work for you. So once again, do not be fooled by those fast talking marketers with their flashy websites and stunning videos, who tell you that they got an online business for you that will make you money within 36 hours and you have very little or no work you need to do to make that money.

I promise you right now its not going to happen. And if it does, then I promise you there is another catch attached that you will only find out about once you bite into their scam. Usually that catch comes in the form of a hefty payment if you wish to continue with their product. The truth is that to get your online business off the ground and without having lots of financial resources at your disposal, you will have to put in many hours of labor to make your site successful.

The truth is that even if you can afford to outsource all the tasks needed to make your site successful, you will still have to monitor what all these folks are doing. That is work. The truth is, a successful business requires work, continuously and constantly. Do not ever convince yourself it does not.

If you read anything at all concerning how to work at home, these words should inspire, motivate and inform you about the actual processes that it requires to become successful. You will find value in all the links listed in the above article, and even more information concerning a thriving and growing TriVita business model in action. (read more)

TriVita

There are a number of ways to look at a work at home job. Affiliate programs, MLM and network marketing systems all play an integral part in the process of finding, and then growing a decent income from a work at home business model. One interesting aspect of working at home is the fact that the products that you find associated with network marketing businesses are unique, and most often, are very good. These products cannot be bought at your local Wal-Mart store, so having access to these types of goods makes for an interesting approach to share with others.

The whole idea of a work at home business appeals to many people around the world. Quite frankly, I prefer to do nothing else but work from a home office. I find the hours flexible, I can actually use my creativity to the maximum benefit, and I can find new and creative ways to develop my writing skills, which I love to pursue anyway. All in all, the work at home business model has allowed me tremendous benefits that I can highly recommend to anyone that chooses to ask me a question about it.

I feel that the key to finding, and then growing a good solid work at home business is the process of eliminating the ones that appear too good to be true, and finding the ones that are stable, solid, offer excellent goods and services, and are fully backed by the company which produces the products. In other words, TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, certainly fits those criteria, and much more. TriVita, as I like to call it, is the epicenter of health and wellness on the search engines of the the Internet today. You may be thinking that its just another jungle juice company, but your thinking would obviously be wrong. Their Nopalea, is being seen as one of the best anti-inflammation products found today. Having said that, I turn once again to a stable work at home business model that people can feel good about promoting.

Promoting a TriVita business is not difficult at all. You must choose a good keyword, and then pursue that keyword phrase until you get people to read the article or site that you produce. If you do a good job of it, like in this timely work at home article, then you will stand a very good chance of making sales on the product, and have people who are interested, to fill out the form on the site for more information. The process of promoting any work at home business is simple. As a matter of fact, and I have called this process brutally simple.

You might also find something else interesting about TriVita. They are now going to be moving into the Australian market as well. This means a tremendous potential for growth, and something that people should be paying attention to as well. TriVita in Australia is going to produce much interest for the people there who also wish to work at home down under. Nopalea is sure to make big news in the Australian business market for millions of work at home entrepreneurs.

As usual, you are welcome and encouraged to click any, or all of the links in this article concerning building a stable and successful work at home business for the future. (read more)

TriVita

In the work at home industry, you find unique and interesting people in which to work with. Some people are dedicated, driven and want succeed. Others are simply looking for a way to get rich quick in a home business, and get out. Personally, I have no time to spend with the get rich quickers. They will certainly fail in their goals of creating substantial wealth, and I do not want that sort of person in my organization.

Most of the problems in the work at home business world are not the companies themselves. Granted, there are companies out on the Internet that are total lies and scam, but for the most part, network marketing companies have to prove their validity. They have to fly right, or the FTC will surely come knocking on their door in the near future.

When I look for a good work at home business to join, like TriVita for example. I go to their policies and procedures first. I read, explore and research them on the Internet. If they are doing well on the search engines, then possibly they are a good company to promote. I also believe in checking the Alexa rankings of companies. If you see a steady growth upwards, and a decent ranking, that will tell you that they are a good company to deal with. If you see a sharp rise, like in a new pre-launch program, you should watch them carefully before joining.

You see, its all up to you to become educated in how to watch and use the Internet to your advantage. Use education and knowledge to positively and progressively find the right type of business to spend your quality time in promoting.

The Veretekk Bully Pulpit Newsletter October 06, 2010

"From my brain to yours"

The SEO Social Marketing Network concept
By Thomas Prendergast

This concept has been developing in my brain for several years. I am going to connect the dots for you so you can understand exactly why this new approach is extremely dynamic.

The concept of Integrated Marketing and Educational Marketing is best explained via anecdote, and innuendo.

Example today talking to a Veretekk veteran who lives in China. He is about to move to Canada. He is in Shaklee which is available as a business opportunity in China. I know you see the potential business this illustrates. So let me share today's chat I had with "Rick"

Rick has been living in China for sometime and quite involved in the Christian ministry there. Recently, it looks like he must move to Canada and leave China although he will be able to visit once a year.

Rick has a substantial group of business associates, personal friends and Christian associates there. When I was chatting with Rick I suggested that he involve these people with his Shaklee business. His reply will resonate with almost all of you. Are you ready?

"I don't like asking friends to buy as I have wore them out. I don't want to sound skeptical but most of the ones I know probably wouldn't be interested in Marketing but I can ask them anyway".

Rick has already resigned himself that these people will never do business with him and convinced because he already tried and from that single effort, he is convinced to never attempt doing that again".

At the core of this issue, is the mental image that marketing is sales and when you try to sell you get a resonating no thrown at you. This is the same disconnect I have tried to explain to you for yours. This is why cold calling, spam email, unsolicited faxes and buying leads doesn't work either!

So after that cold negative depressing reaction from Rick regarding his "incredible fortune and advantage" of having "immediate access to the single largest growing and exploding marketing in the world in man's entire history", I began revealing what integrated and educational marketing is and why it will work for Rick, especially in this situation. After I explained this to Rick, I realized that you needed to see this as well. This paradigm shift in marketing is so dynamic and fresh that even I must continuously remind myself to stay with the new mind set as even I tend to wander.

It all started with setting up Rick's new Platinum Control Panel and I noticed he had misspelled Shaklee in one of his Gold systems. When I asked him if he was involved in Shaklee and he said yes, this is when it all started.

I know Shaklee's opportunity is huge and the fact they are in China is one of the greatest opportunities of our generation, it is that big of a deal!

Rick also has the incredible additional advantage of being under Cindy McAsey and works with Jim Gras. I am laying this out to you, because Rick has so many advantages, that if done right, will turn him into an incredibly wealthy man in short order. A perfect storm so to speak for Rick.

Right now we at Veretekk are building our new SEO Social Marketing Network teams. You have already seen Butch Hamilton and his beginning SEO SOCIAL MARKETING GROUP with Trivita. What you do not know is we have many others just starting like one for the Shaklee groups. I am helping build these, and I was about to reveal that to Rick. I asked Rick if he lived in China? Here is some of the Skype transcript:

Tom Prendergast says:
I am starting an SEO Social Marketing Network for Shaklee, Interested? Do you live in China part time or something like that right?

Rick Haynes says:
Hello Tom, I have lived in China 14 years but me and my wife are getting ready to move to Montreal Canada. we will be going to China about once a year or so to visit.
I am interested in what you have to offer for Shaklee

Tom Prendergast says:
You know Shaklee is in China and Malaysia?

Rick Haynes says:
Yes, I talked to Cindy about it. I don't know how much I can do there

Tom Prendergast says:
OK so you do have people you know there right?

Rick Haynes says:
Yes I know some missionaries and some Chinese

Tom Prendergast says:
Maybe we should focus on building a small SEO Social Marketing Group from your contacts and friends in China before you leave.

Rick Haynes says:
I don't want to sound skeptical but most of the ones I know probably wouldn't be interested in Marketing but I can ask them.

Tom Prendergast says:
That is not the way to approach this

Rick Haynes says:
So what would you like me to do

What to do? This is why Integrated Marketing is so powerful and what I reveal next will help you, my gentle reader, fully understand why Integrated and educational market works and will always work, because it allows you to come to the market and meet them were they are comfortable and centered. I continue with Rick on Skype:

Tom Prendergast says:
First get them integrated with the ability to have live meetings with Vereconference. Just to get online and use the conference room for any reason. Ministry, Education, Home based education

Rick Haynes says:
Yao. I can do that

Tom Prendergast says:
Then start there. Building the online culture, 10-20 people regularly getting together online every week. This is good anyway since you will be leaving soon

Rick Haynes says:
OK, I can do that

Tom Prendergast says:
Then do that

Rick Haynes says:
Ok

Tom Prendergast says:
When you get it into a regular scheduled weekly get together let me know how it is going. You do not need to even present or discuss business.

Here is how I revealed to Rick how he can make an incredible advantage from his situation with this new mindset of marketing:

"Rick Haynes says:
I can only have 5 people at one time in the free room , right?

Tom Prendergast says:
Free room?

Rick Haynes says:
Yao with gold system

Tom Prendergast says:
We do not have a 5 people free room Rick. That is NOT FREE Rick. It is included with your subscription of $54.95

Rick Haynes says:
Yes, how many people can come in?

Tom Prendergast says:
4 plus moderator.

Tom Prendergast says:
Someone in the trainers group started that cultural reference to it. It needs to stop. The 2000 leads per day are not free either. Nor are the Portals. I also have been pushing to stop calling my conferences, "training". This is a major cultural shift I am taking Veretekk. Too much focus is put on the wrong type of reference. An outsider hears all this talk about free this and free that, then discovers you need tons of heavy work loaded concepts called massive trainings, am I making sense?

Rick Haynes says:
Yes, that is for sure

Tom Prendergast says:
We conduct conferences and work shops, you train PETs, you work with and educate people. Just like the cultural handicap of so many still holding on to "SELLING" and posting "ADS"

Rick Haynes says:
That sound much more professional

Tom Prendergast says:
We do not sell, advertise or post ads, we "educate and integrate", two totally different processes

Rick Haynes says:
I understand, we have to get with the program

Tom Prendergast says:
It has taken more than a year in the Warriors group and still some DO NOT GET IT, I instruct to Integrate into the Warriorsforum.com and become part of the culture, and many still go there and drive by post ADs to their affiliate sights and get kicked out.

Rick Haynes says:
WOW

Tom Prendergast says:
Some of these Warriors have destroyed their reputation at that forum because they continue to think "Sell, Advertise, Ads, etc."

Rick Haynes says:
That makes Veretekk have a bad name

Tom Prendergast says:
Some of our distributors are banned at that Forum because some are bent on only SELLING and ADs!. For comparison, "The Hammer" was old mentality and posted ADS, "The Drill" integrates with informationall paragraphs and backlinks. That is how it is supposed to be used anyway. It is an integration tool, a part of the whole integrated marketing system. There are still people in the Warriors Group that do not understand this.

At it's foundation is three parts.

  1. The Team(s)
  2. The V2 open house conferences and workshops
  3. The new Veretekk V2 Marketing Forum

The Teams:

The teams are the core of the system. SEO is a profession and as a profession. 90% of the professionals out there competing for SEO gigs are individuals with small companies and/or small entrepreneurs for their customers. Although this can be lucrative, it does not build residual income and customers come and go and you are always over booked and under paid going about business this way. The money is tight as well considering the economy and the competition as it may be.

Or you joined an MLM deal and you, by yourself, are trying to do all the SEO work, contacting leads, marketing, sales, telemarketing, site development all on your own. Am I pretty close to fact so far? Does this sound like you?

The idea struck me after I re-launched a new campaign to build a new leg in my Trivita business. I built the concept of a delegated ever growing team of viable Internet marketers. It worked great at first. But it grew large ant bureaucratic and the bickering began and the growth slowed down because the system did not replicate properly and the whole team grew huge and became very burdensome.

We did build a new leg and we broke records. The delegation part was spot on. But it did not replicate. With me so far?

Enter my friend Butch Hamilton. After taking a sabbatical for about 7 months Butch came back to Veretekk with a significant residual income growing in Trivita. Butch and I being reunited put our heads together and the idea was born. You see Butch was one of the first members in the new Trivita leg I built. When he came back, he really wanted to do SEO work, but only for Trivita. This is when it hit me.

All Trivita was really was just another SEO gig but the difference was it made a growing residual income regardless if you worked it or not. The difference being, if you worked it, it would grew faster, always building you a residual income. So the difference was it was a perfect SEO gig.

I came up with the idea on the phone with him several months ago, that we should take the basic principles of what we did in 2008 but with a much smaller team. So Butch contacted several of his down line in Trivita that were also Veretekk veterans and SEO specialists in their own right and we ran this new idea by them.

We created a small SEO group, set up a Skype chat group and delegated duties to the 7 members (Butch has added several more since then) and targeted the keyword "Work at Home" and "Trivita" and "Its Good Business". All of these are heavily searched and all of theses keywords has our site on the first page. Particularly, when we took first page for "Work at Home" we got real excited because that term is extremely competitive at over 2 million searches per month.

And…..the BEST place on the Internet to find the best Internet marketers is right here in Veretekk! The new marketing concept was born. SEO Social Marketing Networks. The team and the replication documentation is becoming the reality and was the missing link in the shift to Integrated Marketing and Educational Marketing you will read about in the new Veretekk ebook just recently released last month.

Prior to this I built the Warriors group of top Veretekk professionals with the purpose of pushing the new direction from training rooms to Veretekk Integrated Educational Seminars and workshops. Let me explain how that has been responsible for the redevelopment of Veretekk's system into the new V2 direction that you see evident in the first V2 release of the Money Machine.

In summary of this paradigm shift is we are building the SEO Social Marketing Network teams based on the strategic entry strategy we utilized in 2008 when we built the new Trivita leg that literally broke records that broke records, but now we are incorporating the exit strategy of replicating these smaller SEO groups so that the process is easily and quickly assimilated into your organization.

Simply put, this is nothing more than an SEO gig that you can do over and over as a small group in new opportunity upon new opportunity without becoming over burdened nor without the old school method of raiding existing down lines. Come to the meetings on Sundays as I will be consistently expanding on this new concept. And folks, it works. We have put it to the test, and the results are undeniable exceptional. Don't you think it is time for some exceptionalism to be part of your success?

Veretekk V2 systems and the new marketingboard.com

If you look at the new design and power of the soon to be released Money Machine portal you will see that it has enhanced the social networking power that has always existed in Veretekk. Retaining the lead generation capability it has always had, but seriously enhancing its Social Networking appeal and dynamically integrating it's SEO power. This is the first new V2 enhanced Portal of the new Veretekk system. It will pale in comparison as the other portals are brought on and finally the "Superlative" of the juggernaut design of the release of the Veretekk V2 portal. An integral part of all this is the new direction of the Marketing forum called the Marketing Board. Built on the similar premise of the Warrior Forum, which in my opinion is the finest example of a truly educational format of thousands of members engaged in the art of moving forward the level of knowledge to a hungry world of Internet Entrepreneurs.

This is why the Warrior Forum's popularity has been so strong. It is well managed, has no tolerance for drive by marketers that just spew unabashed ADS and SELL copy. With strict moderation, the Warriors Forum is all about education.

This is why we are modeling our new Veretekk Marketing Forum like the Warrior Forum for Veretekk members. To build your reputation. The categories in the new forum will be for established Network Marketing companies, Marketing categories and educational topics. Each Forum category will also have it's own live chat rooms. These chat rooms as well as the forum will have RSS feeds publishing from each section. The forum's last four posts will broadcast on your front pages of your new Veretekk V2 system when it launches.

But it goes beyond the obvious as we move forward with the SEO Social Marketing Network teams, we also grow the leadership. The leaders of these groups will be the moderators in the forum for the relative target their SEO Social Marketing Network is targeted. Butch is leading the pack with the first results driven SEO Social Marketing Network spearheading his Trivita business that is open to anyone that wants to learn the process and techniques. Are you still with me?

This all leads to the Open House Conferences we have been working towards for over a year with the Warriors group.

So in somewhat of a summary, what will transpire is this: There will be a self replicating process of consistently building small but powerful SEO Social Marketing Networks that continue to replicate. These organizations will be represented in the forum under that main category as in this case Trivita. There will be open house to the public Seminars that educate the open public the successful mindset and techniques and theories behind these unrivaled abilities to create outstanding results, that will then break out into workshops in the Silver system and then advance into Veretekk Gold training rooms.

Butch is just leading the pack on this process. Soon other groups will emerge for Pre Paid Legal, Shaklee, Xango, GBG, GDI, Send Out Cads, and Unicity. Many more will follow. Butch's process is helping me build the terms and procedures manuals so we can replicate this whole process and integrate it into the core of what Veretekk does so we can get many more of these teams, seminars and support systems in place, for all of Veretekk members benefit.

What does this mean for you?

It means that you will never look back at building your business by yourself ever again. It means that you will discover exactly how to integrate Veretekk into building your business, quickly, sanely, effectively and create a stable income from more than one source effectively in a step by step endeavor.

Think of it as we do. This basically an SEO gig that incorporates building a residual income from your marketing and SEO expertise instead of the old work once get paid once process so many of us tire over.

Ask Butch Hamilton. He will be live this Sunday to share his experience and explain how this is exactly the process he went through to help me discover the true direction that Veretekk is taking. It is a Herculean effort as we shift the direction of where Veretekk is going, but you can already see that Veretekk is moving forward into this dynamic and effective new goal. "That being to empower the individual to find real success and amortize that knowledge into multiple sources of income as well as develop skills that will forever change your playing field to your benefit". Once you learn this process, no matter where you go, you will achieve success. The true power of the SEO Social Marketing Network, that is Veretekk's destiny.

Another way to look at this: We are building replicating teams, that work by delegation, not duplication. The first attempt at this was in 2008 when I launched my new Trivita leg. The entry strategy proved to be right on target and in fact that campaign is what gave birth to the Platinum Control Panel. What was lacking was the exit strategy. What I mean by that is, the Seo Social Marketing team did not break off into new teams with new keyword targets in an orderly fashion. What happened is the team got too big and was not able to justly handle the ever growing lower level growth, and bickering, politics and resentment fermented and the whole system fell apart. What was badly needed was the exit strategy and that is what we are now focused on and moving forward with. We have branded it The SEO Social Marketing Network. It replicates and you basically work yourself into a lifetime of residual income and at the same time work your way out of the work. Not too shabby, I would say.

This concept will be the core of the coming Integration marketing conferences that will be opened to the public via your Veretekk front page (When we release the V2).

The V2 open house conferences and workshops

As we move forward with the epoch of all this to finally release the Veretekk V2 system. At the very core of that V2 release is the trainers/presenters working for you. The V2 system will allow anyone to come to your Veretekk Portal, enter their name (without email or verification) and enter the room as your guest into the main presentation Veretekk conference room. Like opening the doors to non Veretekk subscribers to our Sunday conferences.

Unlike the Sunday conferences we are moving towards Veretekk SEO Social Marketing Networks, teams, that are building businesses, like Butch is doing right now with Trivita, as well as having open house conferences open to the public, that then offer the valuable workshops in Silver as well as moving into the Gold conference rooms. This natural migration is classic integration/educational marketing. The open house conferences educate and illustrate what you did not know and need to know to achieve success and results. It may target emailing, blogging, social marketing, SEO knowledge so the public audience gets a real solid and professional presentation and they finish with a satisfaction that these presenters, know what they are talking about, the audience is integrated into the culture and discover a valuable resource for building their particular business.

Ask yourself, "How many times have you been sold into some deal, bought it, joined and left holding the bag with no help, direction nor support from the organization or individual that brought you the deal and closed you"? Now, put yourself in those shoes but discover an entire integrated organization that will educate you, teach you, with hands on workshops to achieve success at building your particular business?

Add to that a professional organization that puts on presentations cover all aspects of your particular company including the details of that company as well as the details on how to build that company with the various techniques and features that are Internet Marketing, Social Network Marketing, Email Marketing, real world marketing, etc. with real knowledge that works. Not some hyped up affair only designed to recruit you.

Am I making sense?

This is where Veretekk is going. Image this along side the 15 plus years of technology, knowledge and conviction few if any other companies possess. Veretekk has the experience, the history, the technology and the Internet properties. Heck we deliver over 1500 leads right into your system everyday from technology we built over 15 years ago and they are the best email leads on the market. Similar leads sell for $300 per 100. It is included within your system.

Do you know why aged domains are powerful? The search engines will give you much more relevancy if your domain has been around for more than a year and even more if they are really old. Ours are really old. Many have been owned by us since the mid 90s. Like http://youvegotmoney.com.

We have hundreds of these real old domains, and we also make them available as additional websites for you in our hosting system. You are not going to find this level of detail and attention when it comes to marketing and social networking on the Internet. Hosting is in final stages of beta and is about to be released. Money Machine is another one of the very old domains. Want to see the working template for the soon to be released site? http://habeas.money-machine.net/index.htm

NOTE: As the new Money Machine is installed into the Veretekk system, you will notice some additional control panels being installed, and they may not be functioning. Whenn we officially launch this new V2 portal, they will.

And..... Ebooks and Autoresponders.

The new direction is also changing the way your Portals work and changes in effect with your designated autoresponders. Here is why. Educational Marketing. Let me explain. When someone signs up into your Money Machine system, we send them a series of educational emails that teach how to build a small online business. We send in that last email, the link to the Money Machine PDF ebook.

This series of educational and integrated content, makes your prospect smarter, aware, and has a better understanding what works in the art of online business. Marketing online can be overwhelming, especially if you have no focus. We spell that out as well.

Then we invite your prospect to pursue greater knowledge, skills and tools, to achieve their goals.

We feel that this approach build a better client and that client will eventually represent what they are doing better. This is the future of marketing. Not selling, not recruiting and not hyping. But building, teaching and lifting each other up in the community of the Internet. And that is true entrepreneurialism.

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues...
Real People With Real Results!
Tom and Mike!

The Veretekk portal marketing program is outstanding and hard to compete with. After discovering Veretekk some three years ago this time I just had to find out what the upgrade from silver to gold would tell me. Oh boy was that some move, the Veretekk is the bomb. The highly technical layout is vast and in-depth to a tee. It is truly remarkable and the support has already proven worthy from my sponsor Jefferey Sloe. Highly recommended and all my friends will find out about this offer.

Dear Tom and Mike,

I wanted to personally thank you for helping me understand what SEO and the Veretekk System is all about. I am came into Veretekk in 2006 with my first gold account. Since then, I have been on and off with the system due to personal events. The main point I am trying to make here is I have never ever learned anything like this in my life. It took me a long time to understand what this system can do. Yet, I find myself continually learning new ways to launch my marketing efforts! Veretekk has taught me all of this.

Before I came to Veretekk, I was like the average Joe online trying to advertise a website that will never be seen by anybody. Now through your guidance and teachings I just launch a new gold system 1 month ago and have top positioning in Google on 3 keyword phrases for my business. I am truly grateful for all your help and knowledge. I know that if Veretekk ever fades away (Pray to god that never happens), I will have the knowledge to continue what this program is set out to teach.

Hi,

My wife and I are recent retirees working online to supplement our fixed income. We wasted thousands of dollars subscribing to many of the fantastic 'get rich quick' offers out there with almost never any income other than commissions on our own purchases. Then there was Veretekk! Finally an honest, ethical, marketing organization with real people to train, advise and mentor us about the reality of Internet Marketing.

Veretekk's Free Training is comparable to college level courses. We constantly interact with successful entrepreneurs from the Veretekk CEO (Tom Prendergast) to the many outstanding instructors and mentors like Manuel Washington who works with us daily as part of his 'caring, sharing and not comparing' philosophy. Thanks Veretekk for showing the way

The Money Machine

The Platinum promotion has been extended until October 31, 2010.

The Platinum Promotion has been a resounding success. Many of you thought it was three payments of $495 and when you found out it was only two, were even more pleased. This made me realize that I had actually cut the promotion of by one month. It should only charge you two months with the first month free.

So let me announce that this promotion is extended until the end of October. Those of you with the free limited Platinum Control Panels need to contact me personally via my Skype address to arrange financing, if you are interested in acquiring one of these panels for the rest of your life, including all upgrades and the 10 free Golds as well. Come January we are launching new pricing here the Panel will be a one time fee for $1,900 where we pay out $100 to the Gold subscriber above that Platinum and $800 to the direct upline that has the a Platinum Panel. In other words, if you are a Gold subscriber and own a Platinum Panel, your direct sales of Platinum Panels commissions will be a whooping $900 per sales.

Now that is great, but that means you are on your way to building your own SEO Social Marketing Network. And this is the focus and direction Veretekk is steaming full speed ahead into. More on that later. SEO Social Marketing Network groups are very powerful!

When you do sign up for the Platinum Panel, this year, go to http://platinum.veretekk.com to sign up your free 10 (make sure you choose good keywords) Silver Veretekk systems. Log into all of them then send me your Platinum Panel username and the usernames of those systems so I can upgrade them to Gold

These Gold systems do not pay commissions, but remember, our system lets you determine where sign ups get placed. So once you get these upgraded to Gold go into the Portal Control Panels and set up the LEADS section in each one to send those signups to your real Gold systems. Do not forget to do this!

Now a word to our Platinum Panel Beta groups. You are grand fathered into this system for life. Since you have the Platinum Panel and have had it for over a year, you truly are leaders in this system. We have massive upgrades coming to the panel including a Feedburner type system, a major upgrade to the Blogger Bully and some other enhancements that are so powerful; I can't reveal them right now. But those that know me, I speak seldom and softly and deliver big time!

Make sure to read Butch's article about building SEO Social Marketing Network teams. It all plays into this. The launch of The Money Machine V2

After nearly 2 years of modifying and upgrading and eliminating the 90's legacies of Veretekk in preparation of finally getting under way of delivering the new V2 systems and portals, behold, the new Money Machine. A thing of beauty, still retaining the power of lead generation, incorporating the Social Networking enhancements and becoming an even grander power in the art of SEO.

This portal is just a small taste of what is brewing at the Veretekk labs. This portal will be ready for launch by this Sunday as what I am showing you here and now is a completed and ready to lunch juggernaut of state of the art marketing raw power.

The RSS feeds are the same as the old portal, but now, they are the main focus of your portal. The survey form is front and center above the fold, and many new widget abilities have been added to enhance it's social networking appeal. Notice that it links to your Veretekk conference center, allows you to log into your Veretekk back office and has the PHP version of Twitter feeds built into it, so the search engines will reward you even more for constant content enhancements.

Looking closely you will discover it also links to the new Veretekk Marketing Forum which is publicly front and center and going to be debuted in the very near future.

Welcome to the future of Veretekk folks! (read more)

TriVita

Working at home is a great way to make money. I find that my work at home business offers me the unique ability to be my own boss, work as I choose to work, and obviously, I have become financially free because of my job working on the Internet.

TriVita

Starting yesterday, when I was conducting the first ever SEO Boot camp Training for Veretekk members concerning building a TriVita business, I began that session with the importance of keyword selection. After all, most work at home business owners know very little about this process. Its important to realize that the entire process of building stable and viable work at home businesses should begin with this timely first step. This is why the aspect of what we offer at Veretekk, called SEO Social Networking, can be so vital to any work at home business being promoted on the search engines today.

If you search Yahoo, and Bing, you will see that we nailed page one positions on both of some of the most widely used search engines on the Internet. Going for a huge traffic generator like work at home, is the integral part of what we do in the search engine optimization business. We use proven and tactical approaches to marketing online. We teach, train and mentor others in how to gain search positions, that will undoubtedly drive traffic to their sites, and at some point, will make sales.

You see, in the work at home business industry, the problem is this. Even though the products are outstanding, the customer support is great, and the business has great potential in terms of making money, NO one teaches and trains their people on how to gain search positions on the Internet. This is a sad, but true fact. In ItsGoodBusiness.net, this is what we teach our TriVita members to accomplish. Through legitimate white hat SEO techniques, one can accomplish great things in any work at home endeavor found.

If you take note in this article, I never promote affiliate links of any sort. This is our way of marketing our respective TriVita businesses. This is the approach that has been used for nearly three years, and the plan is working brilliantly. A prospect comes to the site, is interested in learning more about our business model, they either make a phone call, or fill out the contact form, and we call them back. Educating our prospects is the most important element in this process. Educational marketing is the only way to significantly improve the success rate within a work at home business. Until people fully realize this, they will simply fall into obscurity, with the other 95% of people who never make money online.

TriVita is the right kind of business model to build a firm financial base with.

Australia Home Business

Australia Home Business

Trivita in Australia.

Trivita is not new. It is a 10 year old company.

TriVita, Inc. began with a vision - a vision of a world with less disease - a world where everyone has the opportunity for greater health and well-being.

Every day, TriVita is dedicated to helping people pursue healthy living. A trusted health solutions provider since 1999, we develop nutritional products and offer health and wellness services that support the whole person – physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Fast income Systems is in prelaunch of TriVita, a new to Australia MLM company

TriVita Inc. is a network marketing company whose stability and reliability in the industry is second to none.

Benefits of this business model.

This work at home business opportunity is absolutely suitable for work at home people or groups to join with me, and for those who believe that they are ready to make money from a work at home business.

Announcing Trivita Inc and the goals of people joining this new to Australia MLM Company are much like many others, they want to be trained correctly, and they expect to work and to be paid for the results they achieve.

How will this be different?

This launch for me will be very different. Like other MLM and network marketing companies, failures are usually due primarily to the lack of knowledge, business planning and strategies, and for the simple reason that no one really teaches and instructs those people in how to build a solid business base on Google. This is not some $200 or even a $2000 course where the supplier throws some videos on a screen, emails you some PDF nonsense and says "call the help desk if you cannot figure it all out" This is a business plan for success. Sure it won’t be for everyone. It is for people who want to work and follow the system for success.

As Michael Gerber (E-myth) says " Keep working on your Business not just in the Business.

Now pay attention!

I know you get so caught up in the daily life of running a business; it’s easy to miss the goals of what you wanted to achieve, instead you focus on say the day to day humdrum.

Why will this approach be different?

Not that you have a choice! You’re fighting fires, handling an irate customer, reconnecting screen so the accountant can complete the books and on and on. All normal! But still every day the same? So step back and see whether you’re missing a chance to make a more meaningful change to your business. This may be the right opportunity just made for you.

So if you’re ready to step up to the plate right now then we are willing to teach, train and mentor anyone who joins my group for TriVita Australia MLM organization in the art and science of reaching to the top of Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive, Bing and the other major searches of the Internet to obtain maximum benefit and results for your new MLM endeavours.

We offer solutions, not hype. We offer tools, not broken promises. We offer benefits, not excitement. We offer sound business principles that can be applied to this new to Australia MLM business.

TriVita is a 10 year old company and is just about continue building its very successful business here in Australia.

We will assist people in becoming successful in a work at home business. I would like for you to consider this. Where on the net can you find a business, either MLM, network marketing, or any other type of work at home business, that can really deliver on the promises like this new opportunity can do? I dare say that NO other business model can offer real solutions to online work at home marketers like we can provide. Enter you details on the form below and let the prelaunch begin. A Contact Form is now available.

Work At Home Internet Forum

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It originated as the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.

People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic made from the discussions.

Early Internet forums could be described as a web version of an electronic mailing list or newsgroup such as exist on Usenet; allowing people to post messages and comment on other messages. Later developments emulated the different newsgroups or individual lists, providing more than one forum, dedicated to a particular topic.

Internet forums are prevalent in several developed countries. In terms of countable posts, Japan is far in the lead with over two million posts per day on their largest forum, 2channel. China also has many millions of posts on forums such as Tianya Club.

Forums perform a function similar to that of dial-up bulletin board systems and Usenet networks that were first created starting in the late 1970s. Early web-based forums date back as far as 1996. A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, computer games and/or video games, sports, music, fashion, religion, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of topics. Internet slang and image macros popular across the Internet are abundant and widely used in Internet forums.

Forum software packages are widely available on the Internet and are written in a variety of programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP. The configuration and records of posts can be stored in text files or in a database. Each package offers different features, from the most basic, providing text-only postings, to more advanced packages, offering multimedia support and formatting code usually known as BBCode. Many packages can be integrated easily into an existing website to allow visitors to post comments on articles.

Several other web applications, such as weblog software, also incorporate forum features. Wordpress comments at the bottom of a blog post allow for a single-threaded discussion of any given blog post. Slashcode, on the other hand, is far more complicated, allowing fully threaded discussions and incorporating a robust moderation and meta-moderation system as well as many of the profile features available to forum users.

Forums are governed by a set of individuals, collectively referred to as staff, made up of administrators and moderators, which are responsible for the forums' conception, technical maintenance, and policies creation and enforcing. Most forums have a list of rules detailing the wishes, aim and guidelines of the forums creators. There is usually also a FAQ section contain basic information for new members and people not yet familiar with the use and principles of a forum generally tailored for specific forum software.

Rules on forums usually apply to the entire user body and often have preset exceptions, most commonly designating a section as an exception. For example, in an IT forum any discussion regarding anything but computer programming languages may be against the rules, with the exception of a general chat section.

Forum rules are maintained and enforced by the moderation team, but users are allowed to help out via what is known as a report system. Most American forum software contains such a system. It consists of a small function applicable to each post including one's own. Using it will notify all currently available moderators of its location, and subsequent action or judgment can be carried out immediately, which is particularly desirable in large or very developed boards. Generally, moderators encourage members to also use the private message system if they wish to report behavior. Moderators will generally frown upon attempts of moderation by non-moderators, especially when the would-be moderators do not even issue a report. Messages from non-moderators acting as moderators generally declare a post as against the rules, or predict punishment. While not harmful, statements which attempt to enforce the rules are discouraged.

When rules are broken several steps are commonly taken. First a warning is usually given; this is commonly in the form of a private message but recent development has made it possible for it to be integrated into the software. Subsequently, if the act is ignored and warnings do not work, the member is usually first exiled from the forum for a number of days. Denying someone access to the site is called a ban. Bans can mean the person can no longer log in or even view the site anymore. If the offender, after the warning sentence, repeats the offense, another ban is given, usually this time a longer one. Continuous harassment of the site eventually leads to a permanent ban. However, in most cases this simply means the account is locked. In extreme cases where the offender after being permanently banned creates another account and continues to harass the site, administrators will apply an IP ban this can also be applied at the server level: if the IP is static, the machine of the offender is prevented from accessing the site. In some extreme circumstances, IP range bans or country bans can be applied; however, this is usually for political, licensing or other reasons.

Offending content is usually deleted. Sometimes if the topic is considered the source of the problem, it is locked; often a poster may request a topic expected to draw problems to be locked as well, although the moderators decide whether to grant it. In a locked thread, members cannot post anymore. In cases where the topic is considered a breach of rules it – with all of its posts – may be deleted.

A thread sometimes called a topic is a collection of posts, usually displayed from oldest to latest, although this is typically configurable: options for newest to oldest and for a threaded view a tree like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order can be available. A thread is defined by a title, an additional description that may summarize the intended discussion, and an opening or original post common abbreviation OP, which can also mean original poster which opens whatever dialogue or makes whatever announcement the poster wished. A thread can contain any number of posts, including multiple posts from the same members, even if they are one after the other.

A thread is contained in a forum, and may have an associated date which is taken as the date of the last post options to order threads by other criteria are generally available. When a member posts in a thread it will jump to the top since it is the latest updated thread. Similarly, other threads will jump in front of it when they receive posts. When a member posts in a thread for no reason but to have it go to the top, it is referred to as a bump or bumping. Threads which are important but rarely receive posts are stickyed. A sticky thread will always appear in front of normal threads, often in its own section.

A threads popularity is measured on forums in reply total posts minus one the opening post counts. Some forums also track page views. Threads meeting a set number of posts or a set number of views may receive a designation such as hot thread and be displayed with a different icon compared to others threads. This icon may stand out more to emphasize the thread.

A forum, just like any website, is only as good as its content. The richness of any work at home forum is entirely dependent upon the writing ability, and the members who post to said forum regularly.

It is the purpose of the work at home forum here, to provide Google readers with excellent information in regards to the art and science of working at home. There has never been a better time in history for the work at home field. Joining a business, then developing that business to its full potential, is the goal of ItsGoodBusiness.net (read more)

Work At Home

Work at Home

I was sitting here today, looking around on Google at the work at home category, and it came to me how fortunate I really am to be able to work at home, live life exactly how I wish to do it, and have no restrictions placed on my head by a boss. For my money, this has got to be the ultimate lifestyle. Many people searching for work at home, but often, they become involved with a business that just does not quite cut it, in terms of making enough money to live on. So, off to the day job to earn the living. Their thoughts are always that finding a good business to become involved with must exist, but up to this point, they simply have not found the right one.

I never try to convince anyone to try to join my business. As a matter of fact, I sometimes do not want them to join until they really know what the business is all about. You know, there are so many work at home business opportunities out there, and so many eager marketers, that it can literally be quite confusing on how to begin the process. Working at home is a lot different than having a boss stand over your shoulder. When you work at home, you have total freedom to do exactly as you wish. This is a catch 22 problem. Many are simply not disciplined enough to make the transition from a normal day job, to a work at home job. They may find themselves day dreaming about success with no effort, but in reality, working at home does require major work. You probably have not heard that before, but I am one who will tell the truth about the work at home industry. Work, the simple act of creating forward motion, is the keyword term. There is no escaping the fact that if you are going to become successful in a home business, you will definitely earn your keep. There are articles to write, websites to be created, backliinks to be built, prospects to be talked to on the phone, and host of other elements that you may not be really proficient with.

Its an amazing fact. Most people who are given websites to market do not really go through the sites and see all the features and functions of that site. They believe that simply having a good looking website is all that is needed to become successful. They may even believe that once the site is published, they are ready to make money with their new work at home business. Well folks, if this is what you believe, then I have a message for you. You could spend thousands of dollars on a site, but unless that site is constructed properly, it will be nothing but a worthless piece of digital trash. In other words, no one will visit the site, no one will see the site, and it will simply float around on the world wide web with no exposure at all. So, in essence, that great widget business you just bought into, is totally worthless. Oh sure, you could send your friends and family to the site, and have them marvel at how great it looks, but in reality, they are not going to join your business, and all your thinking, planning and dreaming will simply not work out for you.

Here at ItsGoodBusiness.net we offer solid business plans and implementation strategies that will work today, and in the future for marketing goods and services online. We are not about making you excited about joining our business, but rather offer you benefits and solutions that you can actually put to work in building a good work at home business that will make you a living. Notice, I said living, not rich! Honestly, there are NO businesses out on the search engines today that will make you rich. You may well expect to earn a good living, but get rich? NO way. If you have fallen for the claims of eager marketers in saying how they are getting rich in a month or so, then you will know for an undeniable fact that this is the basic strategy found in the work at home industry. I cannot fathom telling another person that making tens of thousands of dollars per month is the norm in the work at home business field. It is quite the opposite of that. As a matter of fact, I do not care what business you enter into, it will require time, effort, dogged determination and having a never quit attitude, before any money will be made at all. This is where most work at homers lose it. They are simply in a hurry to make money online. Hey, I know this business. I have been down that same road that you may be going down now. I can tell you horror stories of businesses that I bought into because someone I thought I knew and trusted, fed me a big line of BS. I know this sounds familiar, as I have worked with thousands of people over the last seven year period, and almost all of them have these stories.

If you are weary from the struggle of trying to build a work at home business. If you believe that out here somewhere on Google is a work at home business that does work. IF you are willing to come and listen to our business plan. IF you are willing to fill out our contact form so that I can speak directly to you, then you may just have found the beginning of a true business model that will work. I am here ready to talk with you, but unless you make the connection with me in some way, there is simply no way that I can explain the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan.

Work At Home

I conducted a presentation last evening in the Veretekk training room facility. Within this overview, I presented perspectives and details concerning the work at home industry and offered the solutions to said problems as well. The interaction within the attendees was indeed rich and very positive. I look forward to providing more information along the way, and I know that Veretekk is now on a terrific new and exciting path. Up to this point, Veretekk has been known as the lead generation and SEO system. However, we are now moving into an entirely, and more seamless era, called SEO Social Networking.

SEO Social Networking could be thought of as a team effort. In other words, like minded individuals, who are working towards achieving a single goal, are assigned different jobs in the promoting process for a websites. This is called the ItsGoodBusiness.net business plan and implementation. ItsGoodBusiness.net is one of the most successful SEO campaigns ever devised for promoting the product TriVita. TriVita, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, is one of the leading health and wellness companies found on Google today. Their products, customer support and their mission statement, are all geared to providing work at home entrepreneurs the necessary elements that they need in order to achieve success.

The goals of people joining TriVita, are much like any other MLM or network marketing company. Work at homers join, and then they believe that they are ready to make money from a work at home business. Like other MLM and network marketing companies, many of these people will fail. This failure rate is due primarily to the lack of knowledge, business planning and strategies, and for the simple reason that no one really teaches and instructs those people in how to build a solid business base on Google. This is where the ItsGoodBusiness.net business model steps up to the plate. We are willing to teach, train and mentor anyone who joins our TriVita organization, in the art and science of reaching to the top of Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet. Without a doubt, there is no more powerful SEO Social Networking System found on Google today.

We offer solutions, not hype. We offer tools, not broken promises. We offer benefits, not excitement. We offer sound business principles that can be applied to the TriVita business, to assist people in becoming successful in a work at home business. I would like for you to consider this. Where on the net can you find a business, either MLM, network marketing, or any other type of work at home business, that can really deliver on the promises like Veretekk and ItsGoodBusiness.net can do? I dare say that NO other business model can offer real solutions to online work at home marketers like we can provide.

The powerful new shift in Veretekk, that of allowing leaders of different types of MLM businesses, to train their organizations in the art and science of effective promoting techniques. Not allowing pitching sessions to join their business, but rather allowing them to give presentations concerning the integration of Veretekk to build any business more successfully and seamlessly. When I think of the times that I have been on teleconferencing calls, and heard shouts of excitement and enthusiasm for the new and famous product launch, I really never heard anyone step up to the plate and tell me that they were actually going to bring me into a web conferencing room, and show me how to approach building a successful business model utilizing the power of Google.

The vision that Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling have with Veretekk, is now becoming clearer and more concise on a daily basis. Now, with the new programming engineer, Mariusz Antonik, the system is beginning to live the up to the potential that has always been there, in helping people achieve success and notoriety within the work at home field. I dare say that NO other business model can assist people like the combination of ItsGoodBusiness.net and Veretekk!

I will continue my quest towards the top position on the keyword category on Google called work at home. It is my goal to achieve, and hold that sacred position indefinitely. It will be an interesting task, but with the significant promoting system like Veretekk, that goal will be achieved.

Work At Home

The Good, Bad and The Ugly

The Bad

I think about creating work at home jobs. The process is amazing and confusing, to say the least. For most, finding a work from home job means this. Someone you know know, like a family member, or friend, calls up on the phone and tells you what a tremendous work at home business they have joined and you just have to see it to believe it. There is excitement in their voice, as they know full well, this is going to be THE ONE that will make you rich, famous and allow you to eventually quit your day job. Without hesitation, you signup from their link, and all of a sudden, you have before you untold wealth just sitting there waiting to take hold of. The whole process only took a couple of minutes, but in those few moments, you said to yourself that this might just work! If it does, your troubles will all be over as the money will begin to flow effortless as water into your life. You have invested money in work at home business that is making others rich, and so why can this not work for you? After all, you are an intelligent business person. You have possibly made money with other offline businesses, so what could possibly be different about coming onto Google and doing exactly the same thing? You have just fallen for the oldest trick in the book. You have not THOUGHT before signing up. You see, you simply do NOT know how to build a business online. You only know that networking to your friends and family is the only way to fly, right? Well, you have just experienced what I call the BAD work at home business mind set.

The Ugly

From the blurb above, this is what I consider to be the bad decision in joining a work at home business. Now, we will get into some more details about the UGLY business of working at home. You get an email from so-called self proclaimed super network marketing legend. In that mail, he tells you how much money he is making, and he can show you how to do exactly the same thing. Maybe today, you are at a weak point in your work at home job, and you are looking for a way to get out of the box trap. So, you follow the link and what do you find? You find banners flashing, testimonials of average people, just like yourself, who are making tens of thousands of dollars by just working at home. The testimonials look good, and after all, no one would like on a website, right? So, you plunge fully ahead, pull out the old plastic, and you are in that new and exciting business program that everyone is raving about. You fell once again for the oldest trick in the book, you got excited thinking about the possibilities, but forgot one simple fact. You just do not know where to go from here. You begin the tedious and demanding process of going on canned teleconferencing calls that are aimed directly at getting you more excited about the business model. You hear these so called legends talking about how they took their business from zero to millions. They will teach you duplication, and how to do exactly what they are doing to make millions of dollars in this simple work at home business. This is THE UGLY!

The Good

You are searching on Google for a work at home business. You are diligent in your approach to this as you sift and sort through the unlimited maze of businesses out there, and all of a sudden, you come across a website that actually makes sense for a change. You hear one of the most powerful network marketers ever known talking about the problems with the MLM and network marketing businesses today. You hear about the difference between excitement and intelligence. You hear about common sense and results, rather than being inundated with foolish facts and figures that are simply lies. You hear that this organization is concerned with offering you real tools, real training and is willing to go the distance with you to teach you exactly how to approach this whole game of Internet marketing. This work at home business model works today, and will work far into the future for precisely one reason, real people, just like yourself, have been taught the art and science of creating wealth from a substantial work at home business.

So, the question is this. Are you looking for a good business? Are you willing to leave all your ego and misconceptions about the process and become educated in the how to of a work at home job? If you are, then simply clicking the link below will open up an entirely new experience for you. You will become educated in the process, strategy, theory and action of a good work at home business.

Work At Home

In the ongoing quest for providing the best information concerning starting a work at home business, I delve deeper into this process so as to unlock some of the mysteries for my Google readers. Is it not amazing to think that anyone has the ability to start a work from home business, learn how to effectively promote that business, and over time, create an income that will sustain them even in tough economic times like we have right now? For me, its a real privilege to possess this knowledge concerning working at home, and quite honestly, I would recommend that business model to anyone seeking a job alternative.

When you consider what working at home really is, it is a way to simplify your life, live according to your terms and enjoy each and every day that has been granted to you. How many people out in the world are hurting, depressed, and basically trapped in a job box? Of course there are no statistics to prove my theory, but I am thinking that most people, at one time or another have agonized over their day job, and yearned for a way out of the maze. Did you know? There is a way out! There is a way out of this worthless and fruitless working each day world, and that answer could just be working at home.

There are numerous ways to work at home. Telecommuting, e-commuting, e-work, telework, working from home (WFH), or working at home (WAH) is a work arrangement in which employees enjoy flexibility in working location and hours. In other words, the daily commute to a central place of work is replaced by telecommunication links. Many work from home, while others, occasionally also referred to as nomad workers or web commuters utilize mobile telecommunications technology to work typically from coffee shops or myriad other locations. Telework is a broader term, referring to substituting telecommunications for any form of work-related travel, thereby eliminating the distance restrictions of telecommuting. All telecommuters are teleworkers but not all teleworkers are telecommuters. A frequently repeated motto is that "work is something you do, not something you travel to". A successful telecommuting program requires a management style which is based on results and not on close scrutiny of individual employees. This is referred to as management by objectives as opposed to management by observation. The terms telecommuting and telework were coined by Jack Nilles in 1973.

These types of jobs are not necessarily what I mean when I say work at home. I am personally not wanting to be tied to any job that does not allow me the flexibility to create and achieve what I wish to achieve on my own merit. Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Examples include rewards sites, where users are rewarded with cash or gifts, for the completion of an offer, and the referral of others to the site. The industry has four core players: the merchant, the network, the publisher and the customer. The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third parties vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing using one website to drive traffic to another is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers marketing strategies.

The problems associated with work at home affiliate marketing businesses is the fact that most people who choose to enter into them, are in the dark on the process of advertising, or marketing their greatest work at home business to the rest of the world. They will resort to any underhanded tactics like reverse marketing, cross recruiting from other downline organization, using social networking to peddle their wares to others and many other ways. But, did you know that there are proven strategic business plans that can, and must be implemented in order to achieve notoriety and presence on Google, Yahoo, MSN, WindowsLive and the other major searches of the Internet?

Work At Home

Today, I created a good YouTube Video titled work at home. I wanted to create an interest from my Google reader that happened to be searching for work at home. I did this for a very specific reason. In the first place, the keyword term is searched over 2 million times each month. This tells me that people are indeed, trying to find information concerning starting a home business, or trying to find a work from home business that is highly publicized to join. Its a fact that people are interested in joining or starting a good rock solid work at home business opportunity. As with anything found on Google, there is somewhat of a catch 22 when it comes to finding good information. Often times, those that spend the most money will be found at the top. So, it may just be that some so-called Internet marketing legend has bought their way to that position. That does NOT mean that the work at home business model is right for everyone. Looking for a good business is a tough road, to say the least. The searcher may come across totally ridiculous terms like get rich quick, make money online, get rich in a home based business and other misleading statements. Let us clarify this right here and now.

There are no quick and easy solutions to a work at home business!

It is about time that all work at home netpreneurs stand and rally around that statement, simply because it is the truth. It is a funny thing about truth. Some people just will not accept the truth as being real. They had rather have visualizations of riches beyond belief, fast cars, beautiful women and everything associated with the so called good life. Work at home advertisers will spare no expense in trying to convince and coerce others into joining their business. You know that there is the statement, "Fake It Until You Make It." Now this sums it all up for me. It simply means those that lie the best, walk away with the prize on the Internet. Well dear reader, I am here to blow your mind and inform you that if you buy into this type of lie, then you probably deserve to get exactly what you ask for!

IF you are reading this article, and expecting to hear exaggerations, lies, hype and misrepresentations of the truth, then you will be sadly disappointed. If, on the ohter hand you are looking for a real business, a work at home business model that has worked well for over three years, a work at home business plan that will assist you in reaching your goals and dreams, then you have definitely come to the right place! There is simply no better time to become involved in a work at home business. The economy is hurting, to say the least. Real people are looking for benefits and solutions to their financial dilemmas. Clicking the link listed below, can be the most imortant move that you have made so far. You will become associated with true work at home business professionals. They are not wealthy, nor rich, but they are one thing.

Financially Free!

Work At Home

If you follow the above link, you will be taken to another site, where work at home articles reign supreme. You see, I am driven to creatively write about my passion, which is simply, working at home. I find no better way to spend my time than writing, and talking with others about the work at home industry. One thing becomes much clearer to me. People want to work at home, they want time freedom, they want to live their lives on their own terms, but honestly, very few of us ever reach that goal. I have to wonder why is this so?

After deciding some seven years ago that I was going to learn how to start a work from home business, I really knew nothing about how to promote effectively on Google. I knew what the Internet was, but really knew nothing about promoting goods and services online. I scoped the gambit and began buying everything that I could find out about how to promote my work at home business effectively on Google. I spent way too much money, and honestly, got nothing for that hard earned cash spent. I am sure that you can equate very well to this story.

I learned really quickly that almost everything you read out on the Internet is simply a lie. If it is not a lie, then its the truth stretched just a little. I learned that spam emails that I received in my inbox telling me about leads, traffic generating systems, making money from a work at home business were basically all lies. Very little truth can be found online folks. Now, this is good news for you. You can learn from me the RIGHT way to begin a successful work at home business. You can learn specific techniques, strategies and systems that offer you great advantages in working from home, that others simply do not know about. You will learn how to save your money, not spend it. You will learn that most of everything that you will need to build a great home business is sitting right in front of you at this time. Your computer, and a notepad document, will be the place to begin your journey. You will learn that after a period of time, you can build your own powerful profile on Google that people can view, and learn who you are and what you do. You will learn that spending money foolishly on Google pay per click advertising, leads and other forms of well known business elements online, is totally unnecessary. Is that not great news for you today?

The Veretekk Bully Pulpit


It's Work Shop Day at V2



The Veretekk Marketer

"It's Work Shop Day at V2"
 


WORKSHOPS

By now you have discovered the new paradigm shift with Veretekk putting on Web Conference Seminars. This will become a standard within Veretekk, reaching out to the masses on the Internet and making available our wisdom and experience from our own perspectives which is exactly how it is for all of us. We all have our own unique way of seeing things.

This is a good thing to get different perspectives form others especially in these conferences. Who knows, eventually you will be hosting these web conferences yourself. I have seen these rooms fill up with up to a thousand people hungry for knowledge and I have seen other rooms filled to capacity 24 hours a day as a social seen. Go figure.

The Internet is a massive experiment in action. To be successful you have to stay engaged with it and realize the learning curve is infinite and exponential. So in that spirit lets get on with it.

To compliment the seminars I am now producing "WorkShops". Unlike the seminars, workshops are focused on a set of steps to learn a skill from a particular function within the system, Workshops are 1 hour long. The first 30 minutes are the lessons and the last 30 minutes are for questions and answers and over view and demonstrations, etc.

These events are recordable and may also be recorded by the teacher giving the workshop to be published via the Veretekk Back office in Resources where an archive of workshops will be made available.

This is not a Public Event and you must be logged in to attend. Please be on time.

Thursday 10am May 17, 2012 PST Hosting: Setting up ewav.net to run your Verepress. Yes even though VerePress is not launched, at this meeting you will have access to the files (2) and instructed how to configure this powerful alternative to Wordpress. Access to these files will only be available at this meeting until we launch this service. Don't miss out.

Thursday 12pm NOON May 17, 2012 PST. Sequential mail set. How to build a series of auto responder emails and set them up in your V2 system. I will be demonstrating using an edit manager (MS Word) and a text editor (Edit Plus) and the V2 Sequential system.

Thursday 3pm May 17, 2012 PST. Setting up Mail Groups (A campaign for your site) utilizing the sequential mail set and building a capture page with the form code. See you tomorrow,

V2 Integration 3 Hour Seminar



The Veretekk Marketer

"V2 Integration 3 Hour Seminar"
 
All are welcome. No registration required. Easy seminar access.
Just go to the V2 website scroll to bottom for public access.
Thomas Prendergast
 Veretekk CEO

This Wednesday at Noon (May 16, 2012) at 12pm noon PST I will be hosting a special open house for the newly subscribed and seasoned members of Veretekk.

This event will cover the V2 Integration capabilities that have recently become even more powerful than ever. (And you can plagiarize this you have my permission)

Integration

You are hearing a lot about integration within Veretekk especially with the launch of V2. But most people do not fully grasp the term and how it plays in V2. Let me try to illustrate this powerful aspect of V2.

in·te·grate
 [in-ti-greyt] Show IPA verb, in·te·grat·ed, in·te·grat·ing.
verb (used with object)
1.to bring together or incorporate (parts) into a whole.
2.to make up, combine, or complete to produce a whole or a larger unit, as parts do.
3.to unite or combine.

A note about my background and experience: I started into Marketing at a very young age. In a thumbnail, I was born to be an artist. My parents were horrified about this claiming that artist starve to death. This freaked me out. So I bought many books on marketing art and marketing in general. One of those books, "Confessions of an Advertising Man", by David Ogilvy I purchased in 1980. That book changed my life. In 1984 Soon after I acquired my first computer and the quest to merge was on.

I coined the term back in the 90s as Data Base Marketing, but today, with the advent of a progressing Internet, and related technologies, what was a tactical or strategic action in the 80s today is represented by a digital counterpart.

Today's Internet Marketer is by far a lot less qualified to be in marketing than his counterpart 20 years ago. Today one can just claim to be an SEO master or an Internet Marketer simply because the information to discover the basics and intricacies to do so are at everyone's fingertips. This does not diminish the effectiveness of today's marketer over the marketing agency of 20 years ago, it just establishes that things have changed on a massive scale.

20 years ago it took a Marketing Department to accomplish what most Internet marketers set upon themselves to do today on their own. (This is why so many fail and/or have a chronic case of ADD; Attention Deficit Disorder). NOTE: "I suffer from this myself"

The marketing tools of the Internet, the ability to measure results, the ability to research on the Internet is a dream come true to a seasoned and long time experienced ad man as myself. But it also brings with it a serious risk potential and that is the undertaking of keeping track of and updating each of the aspects that compromise Internet Marketing today.

Back before the Internet an ad agency had many people for each respective responsibility, one department for sending direct mail, another for tradeshows and conferences and yet another for display advertising and printed material, press releases, radio ads, conventions, etc.....

This is why the majority of Internet marketers are tactical (focused mostly on one aspect like SEO) instead of being strategic, having a full focus of research, analysis, multifaceted campaigns using all the tools required for full scale Internet marketing, keeping it organized and processing the constant information caused by such a campaign.

Tools ie:

  • Hosting for domains and websites

  • Auto responders email for follow-up communications

  • Web Conference Rooms for live meetings, educational seminars, training connecting.

  • SEO systems, back links, authority sites, forums, blogs, etc.

  • Display advertising

  • A social networking system and management

  • Lead generating systems or resources for a steady inventory of leads.

  • Contact data management system, calendars, reminders component.
The need to integrate all these aspects is paramount otherwise the marketing campaign is limited to a tactical approach, with poor management and even worse results. IE: hit and miss attempts, scattered approaches caused by lack of a solid strategy, impulsively running from one idea to another, the results are mediocre at best and worse, forgetting what was done in the past as this method also lacks tracking the posts, ads, and tactics, etc. used.

I have seen competent SEO marketers run from one domain to another, buying more domains and creating sites just for posting more content on pointing to other sites pointing to other sites creating a mass of gibberish that at best might increase an Alexa ranking to some degree but never really amounting to anything but time wasted.

This same phenomena can be seen with many people on the Internet running from one business idea or opportunity to the other. With no clear-cut objective, this is why most Internet marketers fail.

When you integrate the entire process, from research analysis (keeping track of that), keyword analysis, targeted content, pre written letters ready for your sequential mail auto responders, team building with a symbiotic group, videos and audio animations and screen captured demos, capture pages (tested with your group in our Bull Pen: focus groups increase the overall effectiveness of design and strategy), blogging and other partners in your group blogging on your behalf, back linking strategies and keeping track of the thousands of authority site memberships for additional effect, ratings with Google Page ranks and Alexa ranks and tracking that, traffic tracking, running display ads and managing that, running Google adsense ads, Facebook Ads etc and tracking, radio ads and cableTV ads. Whew!

All of this seems very overwhelming to accomplish 'on your own'. However the very core of Veretekk and it's services and benefits allows you to run full throttle professional campaigns like this without resorting to hiring an agency to do it, or having a dozen or so unrelated services in an attempt to run something akin to this on your own

This level of marketing is what you will see from top income earners and the very successful among the halls of the top ranked members of Internet Marketing. This is the "why" for why we built Veretekk.

It is called integration. The entire Veretekk system is completely integrated so you can ramp up and run a far more effective marketing campaign. Ad to this the Market Manager and the fact that V2 social network element gives you the added benefit of building a symbiotic group to make your efforts that much more powerful.

Next article will focus on V2's symbiotic qualities and benefits.

sym·bi·o·sis (s m b - s s, -b -)
n. pl. sym·bi·o·ses (-s z)
1. Biology A close, prolonged association between two or more different organisms of different species that benefits each member.
2. A relationship of mutual benefit or dependence.

This Wednesday May 16, 2012 at 12pm NOON PST I will be conducting another 2-3 hour seminar on Integration, Veretekk and V2 and why you need the Gold system and the new Marketing Manager (Platinum Control Panel) if you really want stellar success on the Internet. IT'S OPEN HOUSE. Don't forget to promote it!

Thursday I will be conducting three (3) workshops that you can record in the Veretekk system (not a public event). You must be logged into your Veretekk account to join these workshops.

Thursday 10am May 17, 2012 PST Hosting: Setting up ewav.net to run your Verepress. Yes even though VerePress is not launched, at this meeting you will have access to the files (2) and instructed how to configure this powerful alternative to Wordpress. Access to these files will only be available at this meeting until we launch this service. Don't miss out.

Friday 12 pm NOON May 18, 2012 PST. I will be conducting an open house seminar on the virtue of V2's symbiotic nature and benefits. This is a must attend meeting if you really want the incredible power of V2 working for you. An Automated Online Marketing System since 1995. is now called Marketing Integration.

Next up I will expand on the word "symbiosis".

This will be posted on my blog(s). This is an example of a well thought out writing, as I am talking direct to you, not to some Search Engine robot. The purpose of my letter to you is to share my knowledge, thoughts and feelings with you. It is a distant concern that this will also engage in building better SERPs for me. What's that? Stop with the techno babble? Oh, SERPs mean (Search Engine Results Pages). Getting top placement on the search engines is a breeze by the way with Veretekk.

The Marketing Powerhouse Seminar

The Veretekk Marketer

"The Marketing Powerhouse Seminar"


Thomas Prendergast
 Veretekk CEO

This Friday (May 11th, 2012 at 12 noon PST) we will spend a considerable time exploring the Market Manager and why we built it and what it means to you.

But before we get into that may I make a suggestion for your benefit? You see our seminars are now open to everyone including non-Veretekk subscribers. Take these articles from our blog or this email and use them to alert your leads databases, your blogospheres and post to your social networks and forums inviting them to your website to easily join our seminar for no cost or need to register.

The new V2 system will know they came from you and will identify them as a visitor from your site in the conferences. This is genius level marketing and it is now in your hands. Need to understand these concepts better, come to my seminars.

Commanding the top 1000 authority sites listed on Alexa and managing them for your benefit at your fingertips whenever you need to. Come to my seminar.

Do you understand what an absolute powerhouse marketing benefit this is especially when you add it to the V2 standard flotilla of authority sites already at your finger tips? Come to my seminar.

A Marketing Manager position in a top rated Ad Agency runs around $300k to $500 k per year to hire. Marketing Manager positions usually require a total knowledge and understanding of the job of managing the magnitude of contacts, developing strategically relationship, handling the ongoing job of running ad campaigns and accessing the data of every campaign and being able to determine the effectiveness of each campaign. Not to mention a 6-year Masters degree in Marketing.

So we built one. We built the equivalent of a Marketing Manager into the V2 Market Manager. It does just about everything a live human Marketing Manager does except it doesn't require sick leave or two weeks of vacation pay.

This "Market Manager" aka "The Platinum Control Panel" has significantly evolved since we first developed it. Originally developed to manage multiple Veretekk systems it has come a long way and if you have one or have considered getting one come to these seminars.

If you have no idea what a Market Manager is or have no direct knowledge of what Veretekk is come to these seminars, if, you want to increase your knowledge of the nature of Internet marketing, develop a different perspective and increase your abilities to succeed.

As the old saying goes, "Knowledge is Power".

If you are a Veretekk subscriber you also need to be aware that I am about to unleash my marketing on Veretekk virtually for the first time since Veretekk started. What you need to be aware of that when I market Veretekk I promote the root domain. When we send business to the root domain it distributes those "leads" equitably among our Gold subscribers.

I am preparing to send 10 million email notices out to a legitimate mailing company that guaranties excellent delivery to their lists.

Sending 10 million emails and we get a 20% open rate that is 2 million emails opened. The company guaranties at least a 75% open rate.

Of those 2 million 10% actually go to the site. That is 200,000 site visitors.

Of that 200,000 5% signup, that is 10,000 new Silver members all distributed to our Gold subscribers.

Of that 10,000 20% upgrade to the 30 day free trial, that is 2,000 Gold free trial upgrade and of that 50% continue with that system, that is 1000 paying Gold accounts that may wind up underneath you if you have a Gold account.

This campaign launches within weeks. This is literally just the beginning. V2 is going to explode.

But wait there is another angle to this campaign. Those members in our V2 Bull Pen will be an integral part to another aspect of this campaign. As you know repeated exposure in marketing seriously increases response. We are going to co-op this campaign with many of our Bull Pen members with a series of different marketing emails so this emailing occurs daily across these services databases over a period of 30 days exposure.

You will want to be part of this. If you are not a member of our Bull Pen you are invited to join.

The V2 Bull Pen http://veretekk.com/2/group.php?id=413

How to command and control the top 1000 Alexa ranked systems for your marketing advantage!

Now lets get to the good stuff. Building a huge Authority site list that you manage with the Market Manager. I will be spending several hours demonstrating how this is done effectively and how it is easily managed for Blogs, Forums, EDU sites, Social Networks, Social Book markings, Social marketing systems, etc.

http://www.kobashicomputing.com/the-top-1000-alexa-ranked-websites-with-google-page-rank

In conclusion:

We are going to teach you how to be self reliant in the face of the greatest challenges we have ever faced. That is the mission of Veretekk of V2. To be self-reliant by having the tools, the society and the support of V2. Liberty, that's our calling. Do you hear it? We do!

Come to my seminar. Invite your sphere of influence. Post the seminar invite everywhere you can. Lets see this visitor system work!

All about Marketing

The Brick and Mortar Bull Pen

Did you know almost all successful marketing campaigns start out in the Bull Pen? Do you know what a Bull Pen is? I do, because I used to own an ad agency. I am sure many of you reading this are somewhat new to or mystified by the real marketing process. It is not sending or post ad messages to buy your product or service or join your latest get rich quick program. But from where I sit, that is what most self proclaimed Internet marketers do.

All professional ad/marketing and product/software development comes from the Bull Pen. A Bull Pen is comprised of a group of people from a wide spectrum of levels and profession/education into a conference room. The common thread is these people are a loose nit group that is somewhat familiar with the product/service being discussed.

Our Bull Pen had the account executive(s) for the client, the marketing Director, the Art Director, maybe a few designers, even the receptionist and the shop manager included. We would start out by identifying the obvious objective. We need to establish sales, increase sales or establish branding for this product/service/software etc.

The entire group has equal input and is usually directed by a leader. They can last for hours or be especially dynamic and the concept is identified within minutes. This is how we identify keywords, markets and campaign concepts. It establishes a place to begin. It gets everyone looking at the project from the outside in.

At times after several potential concepts are established we would make up several illustrated story boards or reports and then hire a small unrelated focus group that fit the demographics of the targeted market group we felt was effective then get their objective reaction to several of our potentially targeted campaigns.

This would help us get a really good perspective of a solid campaign. Then the marketing and creative team would go to work creating a much more developed presentation for the proposed marketing strategy based on intensive research and development of a final draft.

Again we would convene the Bull Pen members and hash out again. This process almost always gave us excellent direction, kept us honest to the strategy and produced measurable results.

At Veretekk, we make it our goal to teach real marketing principles and techniques so our subscribers achieve real measurable results conducting a real campaign that works. What works? Measurable results with measurable income in direct relationship with the amount of effort put forth implementing the campaign strategy exactly as it is mapped out.

If your marketing efforts keep coming up short, ask yourself, are you just out there on your own conducting a ad campaign and getting no results at all? More than likely, it is because you’re “on your own” and you had no idea how the big guys did it. You will never succeed just sending out pre written ad copy via your email, FB, Twitter and ad placement. It takes a team. Join the team at Veretekk’s Online Automated Marketing system Bull Pen group.

A personal Veretekk victory story!

I have a personal story to tell you.

You know I am a Dad and love my children very much. I love to teach as most of you know. We had a great training last Saturday as we covered buying domains, hosting them, setting up a blog and learning FTP.

I was born to be a teacher.

Back to my kids. Many months ago I set up blogs for both Franklin and Taylor. Taylor has been putting her artwork up on her blog. Because of this, a wonderful thing has happened. Let me tell you I am amazed at how God works! Also how powerful the Internet can be. Here goes, are you ready?

Just recently I got Taylor and Franklin new business cards. I had to make Mike and myself new cards too, because of the phone number issue we ran into (That is a long story by itself).

Well, last Friday night I was invited to go out to dinner with a few new friends of mine. Yes I am starting to get out and socializing a bit for the first time in a long time. After dinner we went to a local club and while listening to great music I fortunately opened up a conversation with a lady setting next to me. She is from Greece and happened to be visiting the US for an art show she was doing with a local gallery.

Then she introduced me to her manager and the owner of the La Jolla gallery. We chatted and I discovered she was from Croatia and was very smart about art in general. Did you know that Europeans have a much deeper appreciation for art than Americans? Did you know that Salvadore Dali’s work has appreciated in value far outstripping the price of Gold or the stock market? Artwork is collected by the rich, wealthy and powerful in Europe. I knew this and she was impressed I knew were Croatia was as well (Do you know where it is?).

Of course I bragged on Taylor’s work and I am sure she was thinking she has heard this a million times from parents about their kids. So I gave her (Her name is Biljana) one of Taylor’s business cards with the blog address on it. She called me the next morning and wanted to meet Taylor. So we went to her gallery. They hit it off!

One thing lead to another and the short story is Biljana is arranging for Taylor to meet a very successful international artist that lives in Croatia. His name is Joze Ciuha. He is a very sought after, famous and collected artist. Just the opportunity for Taylor to meet with him and be considered an apprentice position with him is a once in a life time opportunity. So we need to get Taylor to Croatia!

I have put three of Taylor’s works up for auction on Ebay so she can help raise the money to go have this interview with Jose Ciuha. Taylor is going and I will be escorting her the last week of August.

By the way Franklin has already raised over $700 on Ebay since Friday to help get Taylor there!

You see it is my destiny to help people to achieve success. Not just my kids, but all of you. It is what lights my fire and that is what Veretekk and our training is all about.

I am confident that not just Franklin and Taylor will achieve success but many of you will too, because of what Veretekk represents.

Butch Hamilton Column
Becoming an Author

For me, the journey towards becoming an author began many years ago. As a boy who was raised on a West Texas farm, I knew the value of money, hard work, taking care of business the right way and obeying the laws. My Dad was a real stickler when it came to law and justice. This is precisely why I am like I am today. I run my business right, pay attention to never telling lies, and anyone that I come into contact with, I demand respect, as this is what I give in return.

I knew from a very early age that I would someday become an author. Its was a given element in my life. I could take and mold words in the way that suited my particular moods. This is obviously a God given talent. I progressed through my education really never having to work at studying, because most things in school hinged on writing to a more or lesser degree. I was able to absorb information very well, as I have a photographic mind. Therfefore, school was just no big deal for me. As a matter of fact, I found it very boring most times. What I did like was the fact that writing was at the core of this entire thing. That was beginning to be my passion.

I studied all the great authors like Henry David Thoreau, Ernest Hemingway and others. I knew that someday I would learn to look at life in that manner, more from an esoteric stance, than a brutal reality stance. I will admit this here and now. I prefer not dealing with the little details of life. It would seem that most are content in worrying about the economy, worrying about making money, worrying about the weather, worrying about their health and in general, expending a great deal of time and energy into the little things in life that really do not matter.

My take on life is very simple and straight forward. I will live my life on my own terms. I will never have anyone telling me what to do with my precious time. I do not believe in being controvesial in any manner, and I will move quickly away from any element that takes that stance.

Now we enter into the world of jobs, raising kids, being happily married and doing everything that I possibly could to raise my wife and family, and provide for them everything that life has to offer. You can imagine what happened at the onset of this. My writing took a backseat as I was simply too weary to write. I decided to make that change from the mundane world of work, and move into the world of the Internet. This was about five years ago that I made that decision. Little did I know that way back on that small West Texas farm, that I would be able to write again.

At first, writing was a bit of a challenge, but the more that I wrote, the more that I found that I could write. The ideas and stories concerning home business were becoming to be something of inspiration, rather than perspiration. I began submitting articles across the net in ezine articles, press releases, blog posts and forums. Little did I know then that I was working on becoming an SEO Master.

The whole art and science of effective search engine optimization is directly related to pursuing a writing career. In essence, I am accomplishing my true calling of being a successful author each and every day. I find that the Internet is a live, work, develop relationships, and in reality, live exactly as you wish to live. We can all live greener and more productive lives simply because we can now stay at home and do exactly what we wish to do, and never have to do something because a boss holds the key to our financial future.

Would I recommend that people learn the art and science of SEO? Absolutely! When you do accomplish this as I have, you will find your horizons ever broadening in the digital world of information.

Prospecting with Post Scripts (P.S.)

What is one of the most powerful freee online marketing techniques? It might be the: P.S. the average person gets so much email these days that they tend to scan instead of read. It’s a proven fact people might not read your email word for word but they generally read the P.S. and here’s how it works: Every day you are corresponding with people by email. In fact, the average person sends 5-10 emails every day to people they know. That’s 5-10 chances to advertise and generate prospects that most people completely forget about every day!

Sharp business marketers will generally always add a P.S. I can personally connect many dollars in revenue and leads to P.S.’s that I’ve added to emails, sent to people via autoresponders, and one-on-one communications. If you get my email’s through the bully pulpit you’ve probably noticed them.

A Post Script is simple, non-threatening and effective!

I’ve found when people read a P.S., they don’t usually feel like they are being “sold to”. Instead, they feel like they’ve discovered something extra, and when people feel like that they are much more likely to respond positivity to what is being presented. Do this consistently and I am confident that you will start producing extra prospects and customers too.

To help get your creative juices flowing, here’s a few examples P.S’s that I used:

P.S. My gift to you.. Freee Web Conference Room.. get it now! www.vereconference.com

P.S. Have you been introduced to twitter yet? It’s freee, builds relationships, and if used right it’s great for online marketing! Learn more and follow what I do through twitter. http://twitter.com/cindymcasey

P.S. Web Conference tonite at www.URL.com 8PM CST Business Overview. Come be a fly on the wall.. we don’t mind!

P. S. Keep the muscle you have, Burn the fat you don’t need, Loose the inches you don’t want www.URL.com

P.S. Ever have that feeling, that your life, your true work, has not yet begun? Ever feel like you’re here for something more than you’ve yet identified? And that a billion eyes are upon you, just waiting for the prophecy to unfold? Hmmmmmm…….Well, have you also ever wanted something so badly that all your wishing, hoping and praying kept you from seeing that you had it all along? Precisely..

P.S. Still strugglin with cash flow in your business? I’m not kidding you really should call and listen to XXX Call now and listen 555-555-5555. I think I gave ya my link already, but here it is again just in case you missed it. www.URL.com An easy way to automate the process of adding a P.S. to every email you send or reply to is to setup a default “Signature” in the email software or service that you use. I have a template signature I use just for the Veretekk Bully Pulpit. Summer is a great time to organize and set up this simple marketing strategy guaranteed to bring you more business.

To your success,

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues…
Real People With Real Results!


How many times have you looked at a business opportunity and said to yourself, that doesn’t work. You may have even looked at some of the best one advertised on the Internet, and said there is no way that can work. Well let me tell you folks, there are certain Internet businesses that do work. When the marketing strategy is perfectly planned, put together by one of the greatest marketing minds, and driven by Veretekk, it will work

If you doubt what Veretekk can do for your marketing efforts, STOP doubting! Simply stated, the team concept of delegation rather than duplication, like we use at Its Good Business, works, and it works better than anything out there.

As a team member of particular marketing company, I have seen first hand how the Veretekk system can drive traffic to your site, and rank your sites at the top of Google. Following the proper leadership and sticking to your plan, and not giving up, does produce results. I continually write about different marketing companies in my blogs. I configure my Veretekk system for my keyword phrase, write with keyword phrase dense content, and post it out on the Internet. All this is done through my Veretekk system.

The other day two business associates of Send Out Cards, one of the MLM companies I write about, came up with an idea that would help them build their Send Out Cards’ businesses. Their plan was to use an Internet marketing system, to capture leads, and then turn around and resell these leads to Send Out Cards’ reps. Turning to Google (Isn’t that where everyone searches?) to search for Send Out Cards leads, to their amazement, they found my blog, and then another, and another. They were all over the Internet. Yes folks, everywhere they turned they found my blogs and content.

Later that afternoon, my phone rang. “Hi, is this Jeff, my name is Tim, you don’t know me but I’m a Send Out Cards rep.” I thought to myself, here goes, someone trying to pitch me on his SOC business. This time, to my amazement, they weren’t pitching me on their deal; they wanted to know what I was doing writing about SOC. We had a nice conversation, as I continued to explain what I do, and what our organization does. I gave them a web site where I posted a recorded business opportunity presentation.

After spending time listening to the recorded business opportunity presentation, reviewing the web site, and talking it over with his friends, Tim called me back. He and his friend signed up into my business, and became a member of our team. Yes, they both caught the vision. The same vision I have and, I believe, the same vision Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling had when they set out to build Veretekk.

If you still have doubts about Veretekk, or marketing on the Internet and what this system can do for you, doubt no more. The SEO techniques taught within Veretekk, in conjunction with the power of the Veretekk system, WORKS!

I have been involved in network marketing and the home based business industry for the past 10 years.

I have tried all kinds of ways to build my business, both traditional and via the internet. I always struggled to understand how the internet worked and especially how to obtain top positions.

Then in September of 2007, I discovered Veretekk. What was really impressive was the way in which they teach you about Veretekk. You are able to log into a web-conference room and watch and listen to live trainers sharing their knowledge on various aspects of internet marketing and of course how to maximize the power of the Veretekk system. After about a month, I had an ah ha moment. I was finally understanding how internet marketing truly worked and the mysterious Google.

If you are struggling, like I was, then please check out Veretekk today. For me, Veretekk is simply the best of the best when it comes to internet marketing systems. It has incredible power and when configured properly, for your home business, you will have a substantial way of building an internet business. This will require an investment of time to learn the various aspects of the system, but you will be coached on the proper ways of internet marketing.

I want to personally thank Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling for creating and developing the best system ever. I know both have invested an incredible amount of time over the past 10 years working 10 to 15 hours plus per day to build Veretekk. For the first time in my life, I now have the knowledge and training on how to build a successful home business via the internet.

I have wasted a lot of money on programs and systems that always over promised and under delivered. Not so with Veretekk. This is the real deal and they over deliver.

Make it a great day

Marketing on the Internet is not for sissies and neither is Veretekk™.

That statement is not indicitive that either is impossible, it means that be successful with either it takes a committed effort. The first thing that I did was attend the live training on just about evey subject that was being taught at the time. I felt then that is was like going back to college because of the depth of knowlege shared by the trainers. Before getting involved with Veretekk™ I was like a lot of other people, I used to spend a lot of money on leads every month with dismal results. Veretekk™ taught me not to buy leads and how to generate my own leads. Veretekk™ taught me how to write concise information that turned leads from suspects into prospects. I learned a lot attending Veretekk™ training classes. If it had not been for the dedication of the Veretekk™ trainers and the education that I received through the Veretekk™ system, I am certain that my story would have been quite different.

My thanks to all of the trainers who have helped me and especially you Tom for creating the Veretekk™ system. In my opinion it is the best money I have ever invested while trying to build a new career.

Bully to all

This summer is shaping up to be the biggest summer Veretekk has ever had!

More ideas coming from the Beta Platinum Control Panel group
This weeks brilliant idea. The Platinum Call Center

The concept: The Platinum Control Panel is designed to access and control certain aspects of other’s Gold systems. If you have been paying attention you are already aware of the power already available. Butch Hamilton contacted me today and discussed the possibilities to be able to gather up all the Premium Leads in the Gold systems in his Platinum Control Panel so he could call them. Well, the idea is brilliant. So what we are going to do is create a Call Center system in the Platinum Control Panel that will logical list in line format all of the Premium leads according to groups. If you want to see them all, you can, or maybe you just want to see only the Silver subscribers. Are you with me so far?

Then within this lined list you will have name, phone, email, date, and comments. Makes it real easy for a seasoned telemarketer to call one at a time and communicate with these premium leads. You will also have the ability to remove the ones already called so when you get back to your list you can view all of them or view the ones yet to be called.

OK, now my juices are flowing, I told Butch. It occurred to me that to create a sub Platinum Call Center was a great idea. What do I mean by this? Simple, create a telemarketing panel that only accesses the Premium Leads you designate. Set up a unique username and passcode for a particular group. Then publish that link for the Platinum Call Center to a professional telemarketer or firm and let them use your custom Platinum Call center set up for them to work for you.

Like I told Butch, “We have the technology. It can be done and will be done.” Brilliant Butch. Now that is why we have a beta team. And your invited to join this dynamic team yourself.

Don’t wait too long as positions are limited and they are filling up.

Find out more about this, this coming Monday.

Butch Hamilton Column
SEO for the little guy and gal

In this article, I am going to pursue an element that is so often overlooked, but should be thought about to a large degree. Over analyzing your work on Google is the worst thing that you can possibly do for your online business. Over the years, I have lectured and trained many people in search engine optimization. By and large, the people that seem to have the most problems in learning the process are the ones that over analyze every small detail in this process.

Search engine optimization, at the core, is a beautifully simple process. You simply choose a high traffic keyword, build a keyword specific website, place information daily, using that keyword string and you have a very successful seo campaign in the works.

Here is the problem. People tend to be very analytical and anal, if you wish, to this approach. Like Tom Prendergast relates very nicely, this story concerning this issue. “If you are in the military, and the enemy is attacking you, are you really going to ask what makes this rifle work? Or, are you just going to point the rifle, and kill the enemy?” Personally, I choose taking the enemy out. This is precisely my approach to SEO as well. I am going to first visualize where I want to go with my presentation on Google. After that, I am going to choose the high traffic keyword, write the articles and everything else that I do.

Honestly, how hard can this process be, folks? But having said that, how many articles did you write today to promote your online business? How many websites did you build today? How many press releases did you write today, to promote your online business? If you are like most people that I talk with, you have just not gotten around to that process yet. I have one more question for you. What have you done today to build your business? If you have done a lot of chatting, or talking, then you probably are falling short of your goals.

You must begin to visualize what you want to accomplish. You must not over analyze this process. If you do, you will simply become just another case of someone who is not being successful in a home business. You will join the ranks of the 95% who are not having success. Do you wish to become a statistic. I know for a fact that I will be in top 5% of people that do make money.

The Veretekk Platinum Control Panel

I will segway this article right into the Veretekk Platinum System. I am having absolutely no issues at all operating this amazing system. It is a fact that this system works, is working, and will continue to work brilliantly on the search engines. I see in the Beta Skype Chat that some people are having issues. I will state this very clearly. If you are having some type of thing happening within the Veretekk Control Panel, 99.9% chance of that being a system error is simply not happening. Almost all of the issues that we are seeing is that the person is over analyzing, rather than adequately working this system.

It is a fact that Tom Prendergast and MIke Darling are the most advanced programmers working on the Internet today. Without a doubt, the things that these two gentleman can accomplish are amazing. Isn’t it time for all of us within Veretekk to become professional at what we do? Should we not follow these two people’s example and get busy and learn what we need to know to become successful with a home business?

I heartily recommend that if you are falling short of your goals, whatever they may be, that you take ultimate responsibility for you actions. You need to become educated by coming to the training classes, take notes and listen to what these people are telling you. Without this level of commitment, I can guarantee you that you will simply fall into the obscure category of one that is not being successful. We all have the option to choose our own destinies within Veretekk. I trust that you will choose the wiser path.

The Bully Pulpit Upgrade is DONE!
Your Bully Pulpit email captures now load as fast as lightening!

But we are not completely out of the woods yet. I know when ever we introduce new technology there are going to be some bugs. But one thing you will notice is the lists now load very fast. Even my massive accounts with millions loads in less than 3 seconds.

However I have already discovered that when I went to use the leads transfer it failed. We are aware of this and it will be fixed.

I am sure there will be some other issues. Just let me know via Skype.

But the good news is, Email Captures is back, it is fast, it works and I am sure you like me are very happy about that.

Patience always pays off.

Let’s pack the house!

Cindy McAsey Column
What are you doing with the dog days of summer?

Every year in the customer side of my business we experience the dog days of summer for a few weeks. This summer I’m using these dog days as an opportunity to really focus on our team SEO campaign. A few years ago I buckled down and did an SEO campaign the hard way and it took about 6 to 8 weeks to hit the top of google for my keywords. Since then I have participated on a few team SEO campaigns what a difference that makes, when everybody is working as a team! I don’t remember exactly how long it took to get noticed in the Search Engines but it didn’t take long.

I have learned when working as a team you must focus on what is best for the team and it’s members first. In the Veretekk Platinum Control Panel you have 2 links that can be configured to what ever links you choose. At first glimpse I thought our team site RSS feed should be one link, but decided on my capture page forwarding to a rotator and our team forum instead.

Let me explain…

I know that people buy from people and they don’t care how much you know till they know how much you care. Hopefully that makes sense to you. Bottom line to really have success online you need to promote yourself not the products or the company your represent. It’s all about you, that’s one reason social networking is working so well that many brick and mortar companies are hiring marketing people just to do social marketing for them.

So here’s what we are doing on my SEO team, when someone decides to optin from my capture page they are directed to a rotator where each team members site is rotated in. This makes a huge benefit for the SEO team member. The SEO team member can take advantage of the years of experience I have online and the brand/image I’ve worked diligently on to create. I and the SEO team member will be working with the newest person getting them going. It’s a win win situation for everyone. Over time each SEO team member will be taught to create their own brand/image online and branch off with a Veretekk Platinum Control Panel for their team.

This is has been my vision, now it’s a plan that’s taken action. How about you? Do you have a vision for your business? One great trait of leadership is having a vision. Have you ever heard the saying “You must stand for something or you’ll fall for everything”. I see this happening lots with online businesses. As a leader, you must first have a strong vision then learn to communicate your vision to the your team.

Here’s how you do that…

Learn to paint a picture with words. Speak it. Write it. Draw it. Touch it. Whatever methods you can use to create a picture. Just do it, as they say. “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

Ask a few of your team members to tell you in their own words about your vision. How close is it to what you thought they understood? Is your team on the same page as you?

As you work, your vision should be on your mind everyday. You should re-evaluate it occasionally so it stays current with the pulse of the Internet. Remember your team must be just as involved as you are with change. How about you does your team communicate daily and/or have weekly web conferences keeping everyone in the loop? Our team does.

A few weeks ago I shared with you my formula for success. Here it is again: Skills + Strategies + Testing + Fine Tuning Based on Results = Online Success, Now during dog days of summer is the perfect time to expand your skills and create your vision of running your own successful business.

To your success,

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues…
Real People With Real Results!


Like thousands of others, I came to the Internet a few years ago looking for a way to earn a living from home right from my own computer. I married young (soon after high school) and was able to stay home to raise my now-grown kids and participate in all their school and extra curricular activities.

When it came time for me to start concentrating on my own dreams, I didn’t have a college degree to fall back on, and therefore wasn’t qualified for a well-paying position anywhere. So I decided to *create* a career on my own by educating myself on Internet marketing.

I fell for a lot of get rich quick schemes, and lost a lot of money along the way. But I also got smarter during the process. I tried to promote several types of ebooks, products, services, as membership sites (both MLM and one-off sales or subscriptions)… only to fail miserably.

I’ve come to understand that it wasn’t necessarily the product or service I was trying to promote that was the problem, it was the marketing system (or lack of!) I was using. I was being exposed to all kinds of marketing strategies, but never how to put it all together into a synergistic system of application. What I was doing was very scattered and inconsistent… and therefore, so were my results.

In late November 2007, I became aware of a group promoting another familiar opportunity and having a lot of success with it due to one of the ways they were marketing it. You guessed it — Veretekk™. I jumped on board, dug in and learned how to set up and use the basics of Veretekk™ very quickly, duplicating the successful results of other group members. With each other’s help and support, we are coming to experience what a powerful and progressive marketing system Veretekk™ really is, and how much more we can utilize it by tapping into more Veretekk™ training!

Today, I market the very same system I stumbled across a few short months ago (of which Veretekk™ is a major component) using safe lists and the Veretekk™ system. The prospects I talk to tell me they are desperate and hungry for a marketing system that actually works to help them find leads, potential new customers and/or business partners. Most of them have a similar marketing training history that I have – scattered and incomplete. They just know they have the ability to succeed if only they are given the blueprint to do so.

Now I finally have the solution they are wanting and needing — Veretekk™ (in addition to our group’s step by step instructions, daily activity plan, and individual support… or even hand holding if need be!). When my Silver members experience responsive personal help, detailed instructions and guidance first hand, it’s an easy decision for them to go Gold. ;-)

As great an experience as it’s already been in the form of increased sign ups, partners and sales, I look forward to seeing just how high my team can go as we continue our Veretekk™ education and application. When one is aligned with the Veretekk™ system, it’s easy to believe that the sky’s the limit!

Barbie Zabel
Proud member of Veretekk™
 


I discovered Veretekk™ about 16 months ago while looking for effective and affordable marketing methods to promote my MLM & Affiliate programs.

For years I tried buying premium leads, bought hits to my websites, sent thousands of post cards, posted flyers all over, handed out business cards, hounded family & friends, gave out free samples. bought people lunch and drew circles on napkins, used the three foot rule. You name it – I’ve likely tried it – in regards to marketing methods.

Since then most of the Affiliate and MLM programs I had joined (and thought were decent at the time) have vanished or turned out to be mis-leading at best. Most Deals are slick and you usually have to pay to join and work them a while to understand and get the real true picture.

Trouble is – I never felt comfortable promoting using any of the antiquated, expensive, and ineffective methods that the different companies or my uplines recommended. Nor could I in good conscience recommend it to those few I had miraculously sponsored with these old methods! It just did not make economic sense to me !

For a long time I was disgusted with the whole thing and turned away from MLM, Affiliate Marketing, and even online marketing completely. I researched No-Money Down Real Estate, Note Brokering, Vending Machines, Ebay, and dozens of different franchises -But they all still ended up just looking shady to me.

I also kept an eye on Veretekk™ and watched as it continually improved this past year and now has become by far the most powerful online marketing machine available anywhere – built for the little guy/gal who needs help.

I can only give thanks and praise to Tom Prendergast, Mike Darling, and the Veretekk™ trainers for all their invaluable contributions.

Tom and Mike are absolute Masters when it comes to Internet marketing and they give far more than you can imagine to make Veretekk™ AWESOME.

In doing so they have also attracted scores of like-minded individuals who are also adding their unique talent to the mix with live trainings, tips, and tricks you won’t find anywhere else at any price.

Veretekk™ is now the cornerstone of my marketing efforts and strategies online. FINALLY – I can honestly say that I feel at home and comfortable promoting online with Veretekk™.

I am now on target to becoming financially free within 3-5 years by utilizing the power of Veretekk™. Anyone can who is motivated, willing to invest the time to learn, and utilize the tools can do so too.

I would encourage anyone serious about marketing effectively and affordably online to get their own Veretekk™ system. There is nothing else comparable anywhere, at any price. Get back to the person who referred you and get prepared to thank them!

Sincerely,
Howard Dalton, MS, BA, MCSE

We will raise our voice to be heard in the media as well as in the halls of government that health and wellness are essential in supporting a productive society.

This is the real secret “PRAYER”

I have testimony from the Lord. I have many but this one is for you today. In late January I was feeling the pressure of the coming economic shift and the fear of this economic shift was pressing on me. I know my time is growing short in what Veretekk’s roll is in this shift.

 

I was faced with a dilemma Even though Veretekk has become very powerful it needed leadership and guidance. And I needed to make more money than just enough to keep the bills paid. Then I came across a book called “The Power in Prayer”. Basically the book opened my understanding that even though I have been dutiful in following the path the Lord has laid before me, I had not prayed directly to God via Jesus my demands.

 

So basically I spent several hours for many mornings setting in quite solitude and verbally called on Jesus to fulfill His promise to me. I needed money and lots of it to take this further according to His plan. I got very direct as if talking to my father as if he had promised me a vacation to Hawaii if I got straight As. Very demanding.

 

I said, Lord I have followed you for most of my life. I have built this vision called Veretekk and have sacrificed everything for it according to your will. I have dutifully been in the desert for the most part of 10 years doing this. It is BUILT! Fulfill your promise. I need money to take it to the people in all corners of the earth. I NEED MONEY to do this. Fulfill your promise to me!

 

I prayed for weeks, then one morning in my slumber the first of many ideas began to rise up in my mind. The first was the Bench Mark Bonus. Share the revenue new signups make for Veretekk with the strongest producers. Reward them for helping you. So The Bench Mark Bonus idea was launched.

 

The results were instantaneous. Up to this point my frustration was we would get three new Golds and 2 cancellations on the average everyday. Within weeks we started to get 5 new Golds and zero cancellations. It was working!

 

Then I woke up one morning with someone knocking on my door. This was a bout a week after I launched The Bench Mark Bonus. It was Al Gonzales. He just showed up on my door. I have known Al for years but never met him. You see Al had to come to San Diego from Hawaii for a very secret and scary reason so when he was here he thought he would surprise me. I shred with him my strategy for Trivita. He embraced it and in late February the Its Good Business group was started with Al pledging to invest $5000+ per month into the campaign.

 

I immediately called Butch Hamilton and Paulette Sherb to share with them what I was about to put together. They joined and we were on our way.

 

We knew Trivita would not let us promote their name on the Internet. I was perplexed. The next morning in my slumber another idea made it’s way to my conscience. Market every MOLM on the Internet except Trivita and reveal the issue with buying leads vs buying customers. The marketing campaign was born.

I kept praying. The ideas started flowing into my mind. I was once again consumed with the Lord’s inspiration!

 

The idea to start a blogging brigade. The idea to build a support forum for the group. People were flowing in. Then the idea to build Super Blogs hit me and I figured out how to subscribe all these blogs to the Veretekk RSS feeds happened so everyone didn’t need to go to each blog I built to submit but was all controlled from the Veretekk system.

 

As I grew figuring this out I also saw the limitations in doing this, this way Veretekk was setup. The idea of having multiple Veretekk Golds was born with linking them all together for greater SEO power was born.

 

Then I had another inspiration to build individual Blogger drones for each SEO team member with their unique designated SEO keyword set. The idea of Blogger Drones was born.

 

The organization grew at an amazing pace. By the end of the month Al had already achieved Director. Then it hit me we need a new ad on for Veretekk to automate this massive amount of work. The Platinum Control Panel, idea was born.

 

Doing this all by hand we were already taking top key positions in Google. But I had to sell this idea to my partner Mike. 90% of the time he does not agree with me on my ideas. This time Mike saw it in 10 seconds flat and the promise of the Platinum Control Panel was born.

 

Three month after starting that prayer I have doubled Veretekk revenue and the revenue increases everyday. God is delivering as promised.

 

I had to demand His blessing for my faithfulness and sacrifices. He inspired me and gave me the ideas to move this forward. I know I am still in the middle of this great blessing and I will continue to pray, because It Works.

 

When we are faithful and also demanding God will bless you richly.

 

But you must be willing to hear Him and DO what He inspired you to do. You must act.

 

I ask all of you to start a demanding prayer If you have been faithful and following His calling He will reward you if you ask and demand God to fulfill His promises to you.

May 04 Bully Pulpit

We are the NASA of the Internet!


Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!

All along over the years I knew I was building something special with Veretekk. But I way underestimated how powerful Veretekk really is until I started using it, I mean really using it. Read on gentle readers.

The most powerful aspect of Veretekk is the training. I say this because as I build my new organization in the MLM opportunity I have been in for over 7 years, many are Veretekk veterans.

How do I put this?

The Veretekk people in my organization are organized, communicate well, build team cohesiveness and take to marketing on the Internet with exceptional results in all aspects of Internet marketing.

The non Veretekk people that have joined my organization are awkward, hard to communicate with, want to do three ways, struggle with team effort and require tremendous effort to train to work the Internet the proper way.

It is as different as night and day.

The SEO power of the Veretekk tools is unbelievable. We are taking more and more Google territory everyday. People are finding our campaign on Google and filling out our Veremail forms in record numbers. Top leaders in other opportunities are calling us and joining without resistance. MLM companies are contacting us enquiring about Veretekk and are starting to send their distributors to sign up into Veretekk to find out what Veretekk is all about.

The lead generation capabilities of Veretekk building the sphere of influence works just as I intended it to work. Every time I press the button in the Bully Pulpit we get more traffic, more Veremail forms filled out and more distributors into our MLM.

NOTE: I am not using the Hammer to do this either!

I have set up my Market centers in all my Portals and as this campaign has taken root on Google I am getting more Silver sign ups in all my Gold systems I am using for this campaign. I know they are working because my main capture site has a Veretracking code in it and it reveals massive traffic coming from the search engines, email and yes, the Market Centers! Kawabunga, Veretekk rocks.

But just like NASA this effort is also developing new technology for Veretekk. For instance I have developed what I call Blogger Drones. These drones look and act just like blogs, but are centrally controlled from the Veretekk back office RSS FEED center. I have developed what I call Super Blogs, again they are real WordPress blogs but are constantly updated with new content from, you guessed it, the Veretekk back office.

The Platinum concept we shared with you several weeks ago was born from this campaign. I have 20 Veretekk Gold systems now. As I am going through the process of swarming them together, controlling the blog systems with each of those accounts, transferring my leads from account to account to send out my marketing newsletters, a new idea is taking root. So today tell me what you think about this.

The Platinum Control Panel:

I am seeing a need, and we can build it, to have a centralized control panel to manage all the Veretekk system I have from one login, in one Veretekk Gold system. Thus allowing me to control all the Veretekk Gold systems I have usernames and passwords for. This will allow me to send my Bully Pulpit out everyday to all the data in the entire group of Veretekk sites this controls. This will allow me to automate swarming the entire portfolio of Veretekk Portals this represents instead of having to do them all by hand. This will allow me to access all the RSS FEED blogs from one location instead of having to log into each account to do it. This will allow me to set up Sequential letters for my auto responders from one location. This will allow me to set up my Market Canters from one location.

This concept will save me hundreds of hours and give me the capability to accelerate my communications, configuration and SEO process.

I am also considering adding the new up and coming Silver SEO accounts as well. I am also considering adding a web page builder similar to Free-Page but allowing it to write those pages into everyone of my Traffic Portals, without the need of verification and without the template having the same format like Free-Page but instead the design being completely controlled by you. I am also considering adding thousands of Blogger Drones into the system with new domains we already own with your username sub-domain.

It wont be cheap, it wont be for everyone and it will take a significant amount of effort to build this Platinum Control Panel. But I want it and I need it and therefore it will get built. It will pay commissions to your Veretekk Platinum up-lines.

So let’s discuss this baby today and let me know what you think!

Honestly, I am manually doing this and so are a great number of Veretekk members in my MLM deal and we are literally exploding. In less than 60 days we have created more directors in this deal shattering the records. We have exploded the organization to over 5000 in membership. This is Good Business!

See you this Sunday!

Butch Hamilton Column
The People of Veretekk

The people of Veretekk are among the finest on the Internet. Their dedication, determination and drive to build substantial home businesses are among the cream of the crop. These people have chosen a new path in their lives. They want to no longer be shackled by conventional jobs, long commutes to work, intolerable bosses, and basically having go nowhere careers.

This article will be dedicated to three such individuals that have chosen to live their lives on a different plane than most. They are consistently innovating and improving different techniques that lead to wealth creation and living life to the fullest degree possible via the internet. These people should serve as inspirations to everyone with Veretekk. These are real people we are talking about. These are not some guy sitting in a lawn chair claiming to make millions on Google with no effort.

Tom Prendergast

You all know Tom as the creator of Veretekk. His consistent effort in bringing people like you and me the very best internet marketing and seo training system on Google today, empowers us all with the ability to market successfully on the net, and change the quality of our lives for the better. This man, even though battered and bloodied from massive attacks on the internet, simply stays the course. He knows that what he is formulating has never before been seen in terms of capturing categories on Google. He knows that people desiring to build real businesses on the internet need this type of system in order to be successful. His zest for living life to the fullest every single day is seen both in his private life with his family, and the undying determination to see Veretekk through to the status that it deserves.

Raymond Jewell

Dr. Raymond Jewell is seen on the login for the back office of Veretekk. He operates an ultra successful economic business consulting service. He has been involved in a SOHO business for over 30 years. His expertise in business, economics, sales and creating wealth is legendary. He is one of those masters of SOHO business that knows the importance of being laser focused in the forming of that business. His commitment to Veretekk has been marked with a status of not being extremely effective, to now seeing the process of search engine optimization amplified to its full potential. He has been down the path with other seo companies, and has literally spent six figures with some of these so called marketing masters. His knowledge and expertise at this point can now rival any of the so-called seo gurus on Google today. Raymond Jewell deserves kudos as his expertise continually expands by using the tools and training that Veretekk offers.

Al Gonzales

Al Gonzales is one of the powerful networkers that all people read about on the Internet. He has been ultra successful with some of the major players in mlm businesses and his expertise in prospecting and talking with people is unmatched. He has consistently proven that the mlm industry can hold exponential power in the act of wealth creation. He is now seeing the unrivaled power of Veretekk within his own new business on Google. He is seeing the power that the search engines have when learning to use Veretekk in the max power that it is meant for. He reached Director status by the results of Veretekk, within only a two month period. This is almost unheard of in the SOHO business world. He has now successfully positioned himself to leave a legacy for his children and grandchildren for years to come.

These are only three people within Veretekk who see the vision and are determined to take their knowledge and expertise and turn it into substantial wealth. These people are fully aware that nothing is won overnight, no matter how many of the so-called gurus out there tell you so. Internet business is no different than offline businesses. It takes time, dedication and a commitment to learn specific ways that actually do assist in building effective SOHO businesses.

You have probably heard me say many times that “all my roads lead back to Veretekk.” This is a statement that tells exactly my thoughts concerning this massively powerful system. It has led me to great notoriety and presence on the search engines, and has empowered me with the knowledge and tools that I needed to begin my search engine optimization business. It has also given me the opportunity to now see exceptional results in another business venture that I am involved with. The results we are seeing in this business are truly incredible, and it grows exponentially every day.

If you are seeing great results by using the Veretekk system, then that only means that you have become fully committed to building a substantial business in the right way. If you are not seeing those results, it only means that you have not fully learned to utilize the system. It will require more time, effort and knowledge. Once you have learned these systems; however, you will then be on the right path to living life on your own terms.

The Bully Pulpit Upgrade is still in the works
Your Bully Pulpit email captures are about to load as fast as lightening

I have rebuilt the Bully Pulpit database to run from a master server and slave server SQL system. This will make your Bully Pulpit load like lightening.

We had to order a massive new SQL database server. This has been delivered. It was not cheap. It is a Supermicro™ Dual Intel® 64-bit Xeon® Dual-Core, 1333 mhz FSB with 8 mbs of ram and 4x SATA 250 mb drives equaling 1 terabit of lightening storage. This was necessary because the SQL database required a new SQL software upgrade so what we build here will take care of data expansion well into the next 5 years.

Now we are in the process of getting the database running on this new server!

Total cost of this expansion will exceed $20,000. Your Veretekk™ subscriptions at work!

To find out more about this, come to this Sunday’s conference.

Let’s pack the house!

Trade Secrets of Writing Good Content

Writing content for the net is an effective way to market your business. It’s one of many great marketing strategies if done correctly. Content can be in the form of an article, press release, email, blog, RSS feed or even using one of my new mini blogging favorites twitter.

The first tip to remember your content must be worthy of reading to someone. I love the phrase “content is king.” This is so true. Bring value to your readers. You should deliver information that will allow your reader to visualize the outcome and take action. Find a unique angle, a good hook and develop a conversation with your reader.

Most content should be written in conversation mode, with the exception of press releases they should be written in 3rd party. Connect with the conversation that is already in their mind. Complete the thoughts for your prospect. Build trust and respect. Get in touch with their passion.

Provide benefits to your reader. If your content doesn’t pass the “so what” test go back and tweak it. A good example is – Now you will be able to learn what I do in a fraction of the time it took me. Every word has to earn it’s keep, especially in the headline. The language should not be boring, you aren’t trying to win awards you are writing to make money. Keep it exciting.

Did you know what the most important word in content writing is? YOU. Appear at all times as if you are on the reader’s side. You are their advocate. What at about Search Engines? Yes, you will want to integrate key words in your writing. But always write for the HUMAN first. Writing can be fun and a large part of your business, but you want your readers to read it from start to finish. If content is stuffed with keywords, but has no HUMAN interest, it’s useless.

Effective Marketing requires a few good keywords and key phrases. They should be relevant to the topic, and the context. Keywords and key phrases must appear seamlessly in the article, and not disrupt the natural flow of the content. It does no good to have your content at the top of google if the reader doesn’t take action on what you have written.

To become a master, study the masters. As with any subject, if you want to learn, learn from the best. Pick out a few master copy writers and study them. Sign up for their newsletters, take notes and become a student.Don’t think you can write? Yes, you can. The most important step to writing is to get started.

Get in front of your computer and just do it. Write down your thoughts. Writing content is effective and will grow your business.

To your success,

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues…
Real People With Real Results!


How many times have you looked at a business opportunity and said to yourself, that doesn’t work. You may have even looked at some of the best one advertised on the Internet, and said there is no way that can work. Well let me tell you folks, there are certain Internet businesses that do work. When the marketing strategy is perfectly planned, put together by one of the greatest marketing minds, and driven by Veretekk, it will work

If you doubt what Veretekk can do for your marketing efforts, STOP doubting! Simply stated, the team concept of delegation rather than duplication, like we use at Its Good Business, works, and it works better than anything out there.

As a team member of particular marketing company, I have seen first hand how the Veretekk system can drive traffic to your site, and rank your sites at the top of Google. Following the proper leadership and sticking to your plan, and not giving up, does produce results. I continually write about different marketing companies in my blogs. I configure my Veretekk system for my keyword phrase, write with keyword phrase dense content, and post it out on the Internet. All this is done through my Veretekk system.

The other day two business associates of Send Out Cards, one of the MLM companies I write about, came up with an idea that would help them build their Send Out Cards’ businesses. Their plan was to use an Internet marketing system, to capture leads, and then turn around and resell these leads to Send Out Cards’ reps. Turning to Google (Isn’t that where everyone searches?) to search for Send Out Cards leads, to their amazement, they found my blog, and then another, and another. They were all over the Internet. Yes folks, everywhere they turned they found my blogs and content.

Later that afternoon, my phone rang. “Hi, is this Jeff, my name is Tim, you don’t know me but I’m a Send Out Cards rep.” I thought to myself, here goes, someone trying to pitch me on his SOC business. This time, to my amazement, they weren’t pitching me on their deal; they wanted to know what I was doing writing about SOC. We had a nice conversation, as I continued to explain what I do, and what our organization does. I gave them a web site where I posted a recorded business opportunity presentation.

After spending time listening to the recorded business opportunity presentation, reviewing the web site, and talking it over with his friends, Tim called me back. He and his friend signed up into my business, and became a member of our team. Yes, they both caught the vision. The same vision I have and, I believe, the same vision Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling had when they set out to build Veretekk.

If you still have doubts about Veretekk, or marketing on the Internet and what this system can do for you, doubt no more. The SEO techniques taught within Veretekk, in conjunction with the power of the Veretekk system, WORKS!

I have been involved in network marketing and the home based business industry for the past 10 years.

I have tried all kinds of ways to build my business, both traditional and via the internet. I always struggled to understand how the internet worked and especially how to obtain top positions.

Then in September of 2007, I discovered Veretekk. What was really impressive was the way in which they teach you about Veretekk. You are able to log into a web-conference room and watch and listen to live trainers sharing their knowledge on various aspects of internet marketing and of course how to maximize the power of the Veretekk system. After about a month, I had an ah ha moment. I was finally understanding how internet marketing truly worked and the mysterious Google.

If you are struggling, like I was, then please check out Veretekk today. For me, Veretekk is simply the best of the best when it comes to internet marketing systems. It has incredible power and when configured properly, for your home business, you will have a substantial way of building an internet business. This will require an investment of time to learn the various aspects of the system, but you will be coached on the proper ways of internet marketing.

I want to personally thank Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling for creating and developing the best system ever. I know both have invested an incredible amount of time over the past 10 years working 10 to 15 hours plus per day to build Veretekk. For the first time in my life, I now have the knowledge and training on how to build a successful home business via the internet.

I have wasted a lot of money on programs and systems that always over promised and under delivered. Not so with Veretekk. This is the real deal and they over deliver.

Make it a great day

Marketing on the Internet is not for sissies and neither is Veretekk™.

That statement is not indicitive that either is impossible, it means that be successful with either it takes a committed effort. The first thing that I did was attend the live training on just about evey subject that was being taught at the time. I felt then that is was like going back to college because of the depth of knowlege shared by the trainers. Before getting involved with Veretekk™ I was like a lot of other people, I used to spend a lot of money on leads every month with dismal results. Veretekk™ taught me not to buy leads and how to generate my own leads. Veretekk™ taught me how to write concise information that turned leads from suspects into prospects. I learned a lot attending Veretekk™ training classes. If it had not been for the dedication of the Veretekk™ trainers and the education that I received through the Veretekk™ system, I am certain that my story would have been quite different.

My thanks to all of the trainers who have helped me and especially you Tom for creating the Veretekk™ system. In my opinion it is the best money I have ever invested while trying to build a new career.

The Internet Entrepreneur Chronicles I

ITS GOOD BUSINESS


The Internet Entrepreneur Chronicles I

The Last Bastion for Free Thought



There is a great tug of war going on in society. The polarizing effects of our banking institutions has brought it to the fore front. Todays global economy can effect everything. Not only our banking systems, but our very way of life.

Entrepreneurialism is founded on the premise of free thinking individuals. Merit, success, hard work and individual prosperity is rewarded to those who maintain focus and discipline creating a venture that benefits all and the belief in unlimited wealth. That is the essence of Capitalism. Capitalism allows free enterprise to take place and businesses to flourish. It's value is simply based on one thing, the free voluntary judgment of the consumer. Capitalism offers the freedom of choice.

There has been a slow erosion of Capitalism, a shift towards a more all inclusive system that "shares the wealth". The premise is based on the fact that there is a limited amount of wealth to be shared in the world. It must be equally divided thus the work be equally divided. There is no penalty for not meeting the minimum requirement and no reward for individual merit. The mere idea of "shared wealth" minimizes the reward to the hard worker and encourages a dulling of creativity. Now, if you were offered a job that told you no matter what you do, you get paid. You don't get paid more or less than anyone else. There is no additional pay for overtime, but you receive your benefits like everyone else. Sounds secure doesn't it, sounds like an easy way to earn a paycheck. Sounds like Socialism.

Socialism is a utopian ideal that kills free enterprise. It stifles creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit. In Americas's Silicon Valley there were no new IPO's for the second quarter in what was once America's second industrial revolution. There was only One new IPO in the third quarter. Clearly there is a slow down in the economic growth to put it mildly. Complicated tax codes and bureaucratic penalties for doing business in the United States has forced many Industries to outsource or outright leave for kinder shores.

The Internet is the last bastion for the free thinker, the maverick, the maker of dreams that is the Entrepreneur. It is untouched by the bureaucracies of our governments. It offers unlimited wealth for those who are disciplined and work to create innovative opportunities. It reaches every country, every shore, every nook and cranny where the free thinker may exist. Every day, a new dreamer is born ready to live the dream that we here in America created in 1776. The world is a much smaller place with the innovation of the Internet; we don't know where the next Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison or Bill Gates will crop up. But as long as the Internet remains the realm of the Entrepreneur, they will be found, cultivated and grown. Capitalism is the hope and dream of many around the world searching for freedom. Wealth and prosperity for the individual IS possible as long as we keep this beacon of light burning strong.

The Beacon of Light

Written by Corie Wallace - Marketing Strategy Specialist


Have You Ever Seen the Face of God?


I have. I am one of the lucky few. He did not show himself to me in an image of Fire or an image of a Mighty Man. He showed himself as the lamb. In the image of a man in a wheel chair. A man in a wheel chair with cerebral palsy. A man left abandoned hoping that a stranger would offer him help.

His will was strong, you could sense the fire within his soul, you could sense his mighty power, it was only his body that had betrayed him. He asked each person as they walked by for assistance and aid, all ignored him, shunned him, and looked the other way. He did not waiver. He remained steadfast.

Finally, a blessed woman stopped to listen although her friend tried unsuccessfully to have her move on. Her dark skin glowed around her face as if she wore a halo. She was to be his guardian angel. He told her of his plight. He had been dropped off by an assistance vehicle service in the wrong area. The driver did not pay attention to the address and simply left him. He was lost and alone. This angel of a woman, armed with her cell phone took action. He provided the number to the service and his id code and she listened, called and demanded they return immediately and drive him to his correct destination.

She stayed with him until he was safely on his way.

She had been tested and deemed worthy.

The scene played out before me. As I sat there, I became filled with a sense of overwhelming peace. I said to myself "so shines a good deed in a weary world". I walked passed the woman and told her "God bless you Angel". I have been changed ever since. There is a sweet smell in the air, the sky is bluer, the clouds are puffier and whiter, the sun shines brighter.

See, I was meant to witness this act. I was outside in that spot for 15 minutes only never to return there for the rest of the day. A portal, a window in time. I know now that our humanity is not lost, that it does still exist.

Why do I share this story?

For I vow, if you reach out, I will be there.

If you fall, I will catch you.

You have a choice who you do business with, how you conduct yourself, who you work with, who you spend your time with.

If you choose me, I will care, make you proud, help you succeed and grow.

That is my shinning good deed in a weary world and my promise to you.

ItsGoodBusiness join the beacon of light and hope.

Europe's big banks aim to profit from Wall Street's losses

VILLIERS-LE-MAHIEU, France: Late last month, with Wall Street in disarray, American bankers watched anxiously as the fate of the $700 billion U.S. bailout proposal hung in the balance. A continent away, a few of their French counterparts gathered just outside Paris at a 17th-century chateau and confidently laid out plans for a global landscape where many once-formidable U.S. competitors and some weaker European banks have vanished.

"With fewer players in the U.S. and in Europe, clearly there is an opportunity for Société Générale," Frédéric Oudéa, the company's chief executive, told top executives from the bank amid a serene setting of ivy-covered walls and classical statuary. He ticked off sectors where his bank expected to make inroads, including investment banking and equity derivatives.

Executives at Europe's still-solvent giants see a rare opportunity to crack businesses long-dominated by more nimble American firms brought low by the crisis on Wall Street.

The knowledge that Europe, on the whole, generally stuck with its broad "universal" bank approach and never fully bought into the stand-alone investment banking model that has now collapsed provides a reassuring backdrop for its executives.

Europe's banks still have plenty of problems, of course. On Saturday, President Nicolas Sarkozy will host a gathering of European leaders in Paris in an effort to formulate a coordinated response to the credit crisis, which has already pushed Germany, France, Belgium, Britain, Iceland, Ireland and Greece to shore up lenders in their countries. European Union officials are seeking to strengthen regulatory oversight of a banking industry where national borders are increasingly blurred.

But while European banking giants have taken their hits - a trading scandal in January cost Société Générale €4.9 billion, or $6.8 billion at current exchange rates, and UBS has written down tens of billions of dollars in toxic mortgage debt - there is already evidence of a shift on Wall Street.

In the prime brokerage business - holding assets, clearing trades and providing financing and back-office services for hedge funds - Credit Suisse, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank and UBS say a tidal wave of money has poured into their coffers in recent weeks from clients nervous that other U.S. companies might follow the downward arc of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns.

"We had massive inflows," said Alex Ehrlich, global head of prime services for UBS. Ehrlich said his firm was poised to take over the No.3 ranking in prime brokerage, filling the position Bear Stearns once occupied behind No.1 Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

"We were just deluged," Ehrlich said, with "tens of billions" coming in without the need to call around and pitch services. "We were working very hard to accommodate clients, and trying at the same time to make sure we didn't screw anything up in processing record volumes."

To be sure, even for the strongest financial institutions, banking is not an easy business to be in right now and it could very well get worse before it gets better. And once the current crisis is over, banks in both the United States and Europe will be subject to more regulation and tighter capital requirements, a sure-fire recipe for lower profits.

But even before a new framework is sorted out, leading European banks - like the surviving American giants Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase - are preparing to take advantage of their more diversified stature to become global predators.

Klaus-Peter Müller, chairman of Commerzbank and the Association of German Banks, said the universal bank model was looking better by the day, thanks to the multiple pillars that support its business. "Usually when one pillar suffers, the others do better," Müller said. "Seldom do all sectors of a universal bank do badly."

Barclays, the British banking giant, acquired the North American investment banking and capital markets units of Lehman, along with its New York offices, for $1.75 billion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court late last month. That is far less than such businesses were worth only a few weeks ago.

On Wednesday, the French bank BNP Paribas completed its acquisition of Bank of America's prime brokerage business, giving it new entree in a business long-dominated by the likes of JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs.

"People are now coming to us," said BNP's chairman, Baudouin Prot. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Where they are not coming, European banks are not shy about going after them. Deutsche Bank's poaching of prime brokerage clients from Morgan Stanley and Goldman was forceful enough that it got a polite but firm word from regulators, an executive with the bank said. With the crisis this bad, Deutsche was told, we need you to ease off.

Deutsche is also casting about for a good acquisition in asset management in the United States, the executive said, requesting anonymity because no targets had been settled on yet. Opportunities abound with the turmoil at industry giant Merrill Lynch, which was taken over by Bank America, the executive said. Asset management is hard for a European company to build up from scratch in the United States.

Deutsche also secured its footprint in the ultra-stable European consumer banking business by seizing a controlling stake last month in Postbank, a German company that was once a stodgy state-owned business.

The Continent's insurance executives have more than a little swagger about them as well.

European insurers watched the near-collapse of the titan of the industry, American International Group, with a sense of awe that quickly turned into anticipation at the prospect of snapping up the juiciest bits of what was left.

"Insurance suddenly looks like a pretty attractive business to be in," said Paul Achleitner, chief financial officer at Allianz, which is based in Munich.

He said that with his company's revenue heavily weighted toward Europe, Allianz was interested in acquiring parts of AIG's business in Asia, though he declined to be more specific. Across town, the reinsurer Munich Re, which also competes in the primary insurance business, said it would look for deals in Asia and Eastern Europe.

With AIG's outlook still murky, German insurers are not the only ones that stand to profit. AXA of France, Aviva of Britain, Generali of Italy and Swiss Re are other big insurers that could bid for the pieces of AIG that are essentially owned by the U.S. government, analysts and executives said.

Warren Buffett, whose investment company, Bershire Hathaway, has stakes in several insurers, is likely to be one U.S. survivor, European executives acknowledged. Buffett's companies invest insurance premiums more aggressively than most American insurers, an approach that is actually more in line with European practices, Achleitner pointed out.

"I think insurance will be an industry where at the end of the day the majority of the leading players are in Europe," said Achleitner said. "We'll have to see about the Asians."

In good times and bad, banks frequently raid each other for talent. But with the downturn on Wall Street being called the worst since the Depression, European banks are in a better position to prowl the globe for talent that can be had more cheaply than in the past.

Prot, the BNP chief executive, said his bank typically did not typically offer the outsized pay packages once common at Lehman and other U.S. firms. But that does not matter now.

"We are seeing résumés from people that might have gone to investment banks that have now disappeared," Prot said. "Lehman had good talent."

Deutsche Bank snapped up a Lehman managing director, Maarten van Berckel, as managing director for global banking in the Benelux countries. UBS, despite its extensive write-offs from bingeing on subprime mortgages and the continuing U.S. investigation into its tax avoidance practices, has also hired 26 financial advisers from Lehman, bulking up the presence of its wealth management unit in New York as well as San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The hiring on Wall Street hints at a long-term faith in the United States that many Americans seem to lack these days. European banks may not swallow banks whole, but they are betting on the resilience of the country, the world's largest economy.

"The United States will come back, and European banks may use the change to take on a few good people and build that up," said Christian Strenger, a board member of DWS Investment, Deutsche's asset management business. "The United States is very flexible in these things, and what is the drama today is the opportunity tomorrow."

But the Wall Street of tomorrow is likely to be very different from today, ruled by more strictly regulated big banks with fingers in many different operations around the globe.

"The market today is choosing the business model for the future," said Séverin Cabannes, co-chief executive officer of Société Générale, "and voting for the universal banking model."

The Internet Entrepreneur Chronicles

The effects of Europe's economies during the great depression are eerily similar to what we are seeing today. Still recovering from the hardships of WWI, Europe was ill prepared for the financial shift that was about to occur. Large exports of American capital had helped sustain Europe during the 1920's leading up to the worldwide crash. Vestitures in US securities, the weight of American loans and obligatory reparations by Germany had sent an influx of monies from Europe flowing into American securities. When Black Friday hit, Europe was immediately affected. We saw Isolationism, Nationalism, Communism, Fascism, Marxism and Socialism with their economic ideology permeating through their respective countries.

Exactly what we are seeing reflected in todays headlines.

Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands partially nationalize Fortis 4 days ago

BRUSSELS (AFP) — The Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg rode to the rescue of Fortis on Sunday with a 11.2 billion Euro bailout to keep the US-born financial crisis from claiming a victim in Europe.

French Economy Probably Entered Recession, Insee Says (Update1)

Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- France's economy, the second largest of the 15 countries sharing the Euro, slipped into recession for the first time in more than 15 years in the third quarter, according to Insee, the national statistics office.

Financial Crisis: The options for a bail-out of Britain's banks There can be little doubt now that a lifeboat is being readied for Britain's banks

America had become the financial superpower as Europe had tried to recover. With the election of FDR into the white house and America lacking the financial experience in her new role, the road to financial stability for the world economy was a rocky one. FDR ushered in program after program, spending upon spending and yet trying to balance the budget and pay down the deficit. An economic impossibility. The result for Europe? America raised tariffs impeding Europe's International trade and further impairing recovery. The only option was a departure from the Gold Standard creating a devaluation and strengthening currencies. By 1937, worldwide economies returned back to pre depression indices.

FDR was not as lucky with his recovery campaign in America. Two years into the great depression. FDR met with a controversial British economist by the name of Maynard Scott Keynes. During the depths of the Great depression, Keynes wrote a piece titled "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money." Keynes' basic idea was simple. In order to keep people fully employed, governments have to run deficits when the economy is slowing. That's because the private sector won't invest enough. As their markets become saturated, businesses reduce their investments, setting in motion a dangerous cycle: less investment, fewer jobs, less consumption and even less reason for business to invest. The economy may reach perfect balance, but at a cost of high unemployment and social misery. Better for governments to avoid the pain in the first place by taking up the slack."

FDR unfortunately did not take heed until it was finally realized that his policies were not generating the recovery that had been hoped. Now the US had entered WWII and FDR went public .As the President explained in a fireside chat, "We suffer primarily from a failure of consumer demand because of a lack of buying power." It was therefore up to the government to "create an economic upturn" by making "additions to the purchasing power of the nation."

Keynes vision of Capitalism dramatically changed the face of a suffering nation. FDR was astounded by how dedicated and productive the American people could be when given a chance to rise up and make a difference.

As with many governments, they underestimate the people they are here to serve. The power of the free thinker, the tenacity of men and the ability to drive a nation to succeed by a single act, a single voice, a single thought. Bound to one vision, to be free... freedom of choice, freedom of thought and to control ones destiny.

As the world watches this financial battle ensue, headlines emerge....

US 'no longer economic superpower' From correspondents in Berlin | September 25, 2008 THE United States will cease to be the economic "superpower" because of the financial crisis, and Wall Street and the world "will never be the same again," Germany's finance minister says.

"The long term consequences of the crisis are not yet clear. But one thing seems likely to me: the USA will lose its superpower status in the global financial system. The world financial system is becoming multipolar," Peer Steinbrueck said in a speech to parliament.

If we are to believe there is a paradigm shift in financial power going back to Europe, back to the EU, what will the social and economic responsibility for the world be? Keynes believed that any sound economy was based on the theory that a commitment to mans productivity and individuality held the key to success.

If we are to learn anything here. Keynes economic theory pulled the world out of the great depression and catapulted the United States into decades of successful growth. Only the elected leaders of the day drove it into recession when they turned to government surpluses. But, always...when Keynes principals were resurrected, the economy recovered and rebounded. Never have we seen another depression. If we are to truly become a global economy, the sound principals of hope, freedom of choice and individualism must rule the day.

Unfortunately, we hear leaders in governments ever eyeing socialism, planned economies. Governments determining peoples incomes, what jobs they can do what role that is needed and must be filled. Big government only serves those in power at the expense of the individual. The opportunity to choose to live our lives as we see fit, to better ourselves and our families way of life is diminishing.

Our hope... the Internet. Here the opportunities that the Americans overcame in the days of the great depression still live on. The spirit of the entrepreneur, the drive to succeed is here. We at Its Good Business offer that environment with the ability to band together in solidarity. Free thinkers across the globe willing to take the risk in order to live independently and yet as one.

We invite you to join our search for the entrepreneur, to join our beacon of light and hope. Break free from the constraints of economic persecution and lead the life of independence that the American dream has always offered.

Entrepreneurs are turning their dreams of today into the source of wealth and prosperity of Tomorrow for all.

Trivita is Good Business

Saturday meeting: 1pm - 2pm pst May 03,2008

Record shattering results in just 60 days. Heck we shattered records in the first 30 days. Meet the people and find out how we are taking an 8 year old well established little know MLM company to becoming the top producing opportunity on Google today.


Why "It's a good business".

Near the end of February I launched my third group in Trivita. After nearly 7 years since joining Trivita I finished the lions share of building Veretekk.

Seven years ago I joined Trivita at the urgings of my friend Ricardo Ferrari. After compelling me to go to Phoenix and meet the company I reluctantly went. I am no MLM junky. After meeting everyone at Trivita and fully understanding that the core difference with Trivita was buying customers I joined.

I spent 3 weeks back then promoting to my sphere of influence via Veretekk then I had to stop and build Veretekk and fight a divorce. I prevailed in the divorce after 4 years of bitter fighting and finished building Veretekk to my satisfaction last October.

From October 2007 I started building the campaign that is in force today. The http://itsgoodbusiness.net site being a major part in the campaign.

Intuitively I suspected that this campaign would work. After running this campaign to build this new leg under my friend Al Gonzales the results are stellar to fantastic.

In the first 30 days we produced a new Director (Al Gonzales) and scores of 2BAs, 3BAs, and 4BAs, levels that usually take years to achieve and a group volume over $30,000.

Part of our campaign is using Veretekk to grab top positions in the Google promoting all the other MLM companies out there and talking very nice about them. With the one exception that all MLM companies other than my company "Veretekk and Trivita" promote buying leads. We object to to buying leads. We tell it like it is as we just buy customers. This campaign is working. Man-O-Man it is working.

In 60 days we have produced 4 directors and even more 2BAs, 3BAs, and 4BAs. We have built over 4000 members and the group volume for March was in excess of $63,000 in volume.

The SEO campaign is kicking in and signups from Google are increasing exponentially. If you want to know more about what exactly we are doing come join us this Saturday at http://itsgoodbusiness.net at 1pm PST.

Meet the people that found us on Google and discover why this will be the last opportunity you will ever want to do. Below are a few testimonials to illustrate the results of a well planned campaign, a great team, delegation not duplication at work and a solid no nonsense approach you will find with Its Good Business and Trivita.

What a ride thus far.......a month and a half in "Its Good Business", and as of today the volume shows me as qualifying for a 2 Star BA. Believe it or not, all the numbers are not yet in for month's end, as team members were enrolling new affiliates right up to the midnight hour!

After years of working the Internet and failing I never gave up on my dream of this great industry. I spent 18 months building a good affiliate website only to find out that I needed to buy Pay per click's at about $100 for as many clicks.

$1000s wasted their which lead me to Veretekk wich took care of the PPC drama. This is my third year with Veretekk and 2nd as a Gold Member. The last 8 months have been particularly exciting for me learning SEO from Butch Hamilton and been guided in the right direction by Tom. My Profit Portals are covering the cost of my Veretekk Systems

And now with the IGB team I have finally hit pay dirt and have got excellent traction in the world of Network Marketing. All I have to do is post an article a day to my blogs and buy customers. Then use my Veretekk system to promote IGB where full training is given 24/7.

It was a wonderful experience to wake up yesterday morning and see a Jr Power Partner placed below me. After 6 weeks and living outside of the USA in South Africa, I already have 72 people in my organization and 10 more coming on this month so far.

I have know doubt this is my future as is already proven with IGB and the best is yet to come. Praise The Lord and our IGB team as a whole. I do not want to be anywhere else but here. The teamwork, the assistance so freely given in the Skype IGB Chat room and the IGB training cannot be bought. Not to mention our Saturday Business Presentation by Tom, makes this a breeze. It is priceless. The Internet Marketing knowledge of our members collectively cannot be beating anywhere on the web. The light is finally on.

Be Wealthy.
Shaun McClelland



My name is Howard Dalton and here's my story:

I spent well over 10 years and at least $80,000 seeking an honest, ethical residual income opportunity that I could be comfortable marketing. I jumped from one opportunity to another, like an MLM Junkie, believing the hype, getting excited, thinking "This is It", only to lose interest as each opportunity's shortcomings or the head Guru's dirty little secrets were revealed.

Even if the opportunity itself was OK - one common problem with all opportunities - is that you have to find a cost-effective way to market. As a result of seeking cost-effective ethical marketing, about 18 months ago, I discovered Veretekk. Although the opportunity I was in at that time didn't last I stayed with Veretekk and began learning about the right and the wrong ways of marketing on Google.

With all the hype and losses I had taken over the years I was very skeptical and hesitant to dive in and follow anyone, even from within Veretekk. So I kind of watched from the sidelines, observing and analyzing everything for over a year. Deep down I knew that I just couldn't sell anything that I truly didn't believe in 100%.

The last 3-4 months have been particularly rewarding for me learning SEO basics from Butch Hamilton, Tom Prendergast, Wayne Harrold, and from the other excellent Veretekk Trainers. I also discovered that Tom, Butch, Wayne and others shared my disgust with all the lies and deceit so rampant on Google and within the Network Marketing industry.

When I heard about the Its Good Business (IGB) concept I hesitated due to finances, but because Tom was the Master Mind behind it, quickly decided to jump in. Boy oh Boy am I glad I made that decision! I just reached 2 Star in April and will likely reach 3 Star in May or June. I NEVER could have accomplished this by myself without the support, training, and guidance of IGB. I am totally stoked!

I'm now an Aggressive Marketer on the Blogger Team. All I really have to do is blog daily and consistently Buy Customers each month. But I am motivated to do more towards the success of this fantastic team.

Don't confuse IGB with any other opportunities. None can compare. This is not sit back and Get Rich hype but rather "Get Rich Slowly" through long term consistent TEAM effort and everyone being committed to buying customers monthly. As a result of being customer based rather than distributor heavy I fully expect the residual income we build will keep paying for many, many years, or even DECADES to come.

Isn't "Build it once - receive long term dependable residual income" what everyone is striving for?

FINALLY! - a network marketing opportunity married with a cost-effective juggernaut Google marketing system - that is WORKING - and not just for a couple people at the top! We work up line, sideline, down line, cross-line. Everyone understands that the team will all prosper together from our TEAM SEO efforts!

In addition, I am blessed to be teamed up with Wayne Harrold, one of the absolute best SEO Masters and SEO Educators on the internet today. Watch for great things to develop from our team. We are just getting started and you will see us breaking records as well.

I can only echo the sentiments of other IGB members who are also experiencing success for the first time in their Network Marketing careers. If you are reading this, and haven't looked closely at the IGB concept yet, I urge you to do so. It could be life-changing for you as it has been for me and many, many others.

Thank You Tom, Butch, Wayne, Al, and everyone working together on this unparalleled IGB team!

Sincerely,
Howard Dalton, Aspiring SEO Master

How many times have you looked at a business opportunity and said to yourself, that doesn't work. You may have even looked at Its Good Business (IGB) and said there is no way that can work. Well let me tell you folks, Its Good Business does work. The marketing plan that has been put together by Thomas Prendergast is the best-of-the-best.

Stop Doubting!

If you doubt what Tom is doing with Its Good Business, STOP doubting! Simply stated, the team concept of delegation rather than duplication, like we use at Its Good Business, works, and it works better than anything out there.

As a team member of IGB, my job is to blog about two MLM companies, Big Planet and Send Out Cards. Following the leadership of Tom, I blog daily about both companies. I write about how great these companies are, how good their compensation plans are, and then I explain the problem with most MLM companies; they promote buying leads to build a business.

The other day two business associates of Send Out Cards came up with an idea that would help them build their Send Out Cards' businesses, and bring in some extra cash. Their plan was to use an Internet marketing system, to capture leads, and then turn around and resell these leads to Send Out Cards' reps. Turning to Google (Isn't that where everyone searches?) to search for Send Out Cards leads, to their amazement, they found my blog, and then another, and another. They were all over the Internet. Yes folks, everywhere they turned they found my blogs and content.

Later that afternoon, my phone rang. "Hi, is this Jeff, my name is Tim, you don't know me but I'm a Send Out Cards rep." I thought to myself, here goes, someone trying to pitch me on his SOC business. This time, to my amazement, they weren't pitching me on their deal; they wanted to know what I was doing writing about SOC. We had a nice conversation, as I continued to explain what I do, and what our organization does. I gave them a web site where I posted a recorded business opportunity presentation.

After spending time listening to the recorded Saturday business opportunity presentation, reviewing the IGB site, and talking to Tom, Tim and his friend signed up with TriVita, and became a member of our IGB team. Yes folks, they both caught the vision. The same vision I believe Tom had when he set this system up. Thanks Tom!

If you still have doubts about IGB and what we are doing, doubt no more. The SEO techniques taught, in conjunction with the power of the Veretekk system, WORKS! Stop looking elsewhere, and stop wasting your time and money.

Its Good Business is where it all the #%$@ stops, and the real Internet business starts. You don't have to look any further.

Building Futures Today! I have been using this motto for about 5 years now, as a reminder of why I spend so many hours of my day on the internet. Like many people I have been on the sidelines of internet marketing success. I have been on some pretty awesome teams, earning a small income online for many years now. Enough to keep me interested for sure, but never quite enough to replace my offline income.

I thought it would be easy to write about success. As I sit here trying to find the words that describe my thoughts and feelings, I believe this may be the hardest thing I have ever wanted to write. Funny that success should produce such strong and opposing emotional reactions. It has kind of taken me by surprise but I will do my best to share what Its Good Business has done for me in just two months.

I took a huge leap of faith when Tom Prendergast finally announced that he was ready to start his marketing campaign he called "Its Good Business" marketing strategy. My heart nearly fell from my chest down to my toes when he explained the concept and his formula for success. Why? Well he actually expected people to make a commitment to success! The commitment was not just monetary either. He was asking for a commitment to the team as a whole, not just a piece of it, but to the whole team - up line, down line, sideline and cross line! When I heard his brilliant strategy fear gripped my heart and my first reaction was "I can't do this"!

I heard something else too. Through the fear and the confusion I was feeling I heard Tom say, "Paulette, you can do this but you have to make a choice. If you really want to achieve success you have to make the commitment. It's the only way!" I'd like to say the fear disappeared, but it didn't. I made a choice anyway! I chose to make the commitment Tom was asking for. I decided that I would do whatever I needed to do to be a part of his Its Good Business Marketing TEAM.

The most amazing part of this team is the unity. Everyone is working together as if we were one. Humans live for competition, and it is so refreshing to be a part of a team where the competition is to see who can give the most to the team effort! Amazing things are happening! Our team is breaking records! How do we do it? We are all committed!

With the support of the leaders above and the team below, I qualified as a Director in the company's compensation plan this month! This is an achievement that normally takes 3 years! Not only that another team member, Butch Hamilton, also qualified as director. The most amazing thing though was the number of people below us who also qualified for various levels of the compensation plan and are just a step or two behind us.

Surprisingly, the fear is still there, just below the surface. With success comes responsibility that strengthens the commitment. I took the leap of faith! What will you do?
