"Executive Affiliates" :
Time Management Within Your
Pay It Forward 4 Profits System

Steve Gaghagen

Does Your Life SUCK?
Click Here To UN-SUCK Your Life!

I thought I'd take a moment here and explain the fairly new concept of the "Executive Affiliate ".

Some of you have heard this term around, in forums and possibly on live training calls. I know I've had several team members asking me just what it denotes. I did ask about it and here is the explanation:

An Executive Affiliate is simply a member who has decided to use their PIF4P system, and has affiliated with any or all of the programs necessary to make it work: GDI, Traffic Oasis, Success University, and a Primary Program.

One of the things that our PIF4P's system does so well, is assisting us with time-management. The designation of Executive Affiliate is simply a good way for us to
determine how much time we should be spending with someone. It's an easy way of labelling where our concentration of time will be directed, and it will assist you active PIF4P'ers greatly.

Let me explain that like this: As a PIF4P's Senior Manager, I am quickly approaching 200 Members. If any of these Members need my help in evaluating, configuring, or setting up their home business system, I am more than willing to accomodate them. There are many of you reading this that know that's true.

However, I simply don't have the time, and it's not my job, to chase people down and try to convince them to make use of their PIF4P's system. They have to decide that on their own ... I can't do it for them. The system is right there for everyone to see, we're all adults here, and that is a decision that is completely up to the individual.

So ... out of the group of "unaffiliated members " ... if these folks would like my help, I'm more than willing to provide it. However, they must contact me. My e-mail,
phone number, and IM id's are all in their Member's areas or in this article, and any one of that group is welcome to contact me for help at any time they wish. Just the simple act of contacting me tells me something: that you are serious about creating a home business on the Internet, and that you MIGHT be someone I should consider spending more time with. However, at this point, my PIF4P's system has not verified for me that these folks are committed to their own success to a point where I should devote much more time than is simply polite.

Now, the designation of Executive Affiliate is granted and applied to any associate who has affiliated with the programs I've mentioned above. At the point that someone becomes an EA, my PIF4P's system is e-mailing me with notifications, and verifying for me that this person has committed, in a concrete manner, to pursuing a business opportunity with me. They are now in my downline in at least one company, and it is now my responsibility to help them become successful in any way I can.

At that point, they will, rightly, have a claim on much more of my time and personal guidance than they did when they were simply a member. This is automated
time management that can be duplicated, because its built right into the system.

So, having said all this, and now understanding just what the term "Executive Affiliate " denotes, I would lay it out this way:

If you are a Member of our ProfitMasters Team, I applaud you and welcome you. I am there to assist you if you need me. If you have questions at any time, please feel free to call or e-mail and I'll do my best to answer them or at least direct you to the location within your system where the answer can be found.

If you would like closer guidance, and more of my time devoted to helping you to get your new home business up and running ... I would encourage you to become
an Executive Affiliate. The affiliate programs within your Funded Sponsoring Franchise system are necessary to make your system work. Without incorporating them into your system, it's not going to be effective anyway, and as a Senior Manager I need to devote my time to those folks who can show me that they actually are serious about their new business venture. I'm sure that, when you really think about this, you'll see how much sense it makes, and how this type of time management system will help you as you build your own business.

Those of you who are currently Executive Affiliates can testify to the fact that, once you've achieved this status, my time is yours to the absolute extent of my abilities, and that I will do everything I can to help you in any way you might need me.

So, those of you who are unaffiliated members, but who would like to begin to make use of your PIF4P's home business system ... the first step is to become an Executive Affiliate. When you do, call me or e-mail. Let's figure out from that point just what I can do to help you.

Over and above that, there is one other step available to you that you can consider to insure your success at PIF4P's. That, of course, is The Advanced Mentoring
Team.

The Advanced Mentoring Team is Paul Birdsall's personal training and working group within PIF4P. I am a Member of the AMT, and 7 of the others who you will find on this week's ProfitMasters Leaderboard in your Team Newsletter are members as well. That's a good indication to you that we are speaking of something very powerful here.

As members of the AMT, we all work personally with Paul. Additionally, I devote the majority of my time to working with my AMT members. These are the people that I will actually seek out ... I will call them... to find out if I can help and if there's anything they might need from me. We work together on an almost daily basis, and each of them would tell you that I am always there for them and they can rely on me to make sure I'm aware of anything they might need from me.

If that is the kind of guidance and assistance you feel you might want as you put your PIF4P's system to work for you, and as you conduct your business over the next few years, let me know of your interest. Call or e-mail me and request information regarding the Advanced Mentoring Team. We don't accept everyone, but taking the initiative to contact me does go a long way to demonstrating that you just might be the kind of person we look for.

New 3 Step Secret Page

Steve Gaghagen

Does Your Life SUCK?
Click Here To UN-SUCK Your Life!



Some of you started to notice last Thursday ... those really observant and active folks ... you know who you are ... that the 3 Step Secret website had changed. The change was announced and explained on Saturday's Breakfast call. If you missed that one ... you missed a great one.

The new 3 Step Secret page is a stroke of genius. It's basically the same as the old one, BUT ... no one has to join GDI or anything else ... before they can gain access to their new PIF4P home business system!

Those who enter through the 3 Step Secret webpage are now given exactly what they want and should have ... full access to a great Internet Home Business system, including the training, live calls, recorded calls, the forums, the affiliate programs, and the entire Advanced Internet Marketing Success Guide ... all of it ... before they need to committ to anything at all.

I think this will be great. The Pay It Forward 4 Profits Funded Sponsoring Franchise system has no competition that's even close when it comes to providing a way to create a viable, solid, reliable, long-term and profitable home business. It just doesn't. Go look ... you won't find it.

So ... if your best "selling point" is simply that there's nothing else even like you (let alone better) ... why not just let everyone that wants to investigate have complete and total access. Then they can simply decide to use their system if they'd like ... or they can simply walk away.

At any rate ... that's now the 3 Step process, so if you haven't taken a look at your new webpage, go check it out.

The new 3 Step process has also caused some autoresponder changes. For those of you who have not yet done it, there is a new letter list to upload. To do that you would go to your Member's Area, and click on the "Marketing" tab. From the drop-down menu, select "Response Magic". Then select "Upload Response Magic E-Mails". At the page that follows, simply make the two boxes both say "New 3 Step", and then click "Copy E-Mails".

That will copy your new list over to Response Magic.

Remember this: Unlike the old process with the 3 Step Splash page, our new 3 Step members ARE MEMBERS OF PIF4P. The new 3 Step list is NOT a newsletter anymore. Our 3 Step list contacts have joined PIF4P, and the mailings they receive from your system are designed only to instruct and assist them with it's use... setting it up and getting it going so that they can start to use it to earn money as quickly as possible. That means that your Members appear now in two lists: PIF4P, AND 3 Step.

If you have any questions about all of this, please e-mail me or give me a call.

Creating Your Home Based Business:
Opportunity vs Adversity

Steve Gaghagen

Does Your Life SUCK?
Click Here To UN-SUCK Your Life!


Implementing a marketing system for your home business, or starting a home business from scratch, is not an easy job. Too often we fall prey to the sales pages on the Internet that continually tell us of the thousands we'll make in our first week, or the hundreds we'll sponsor in our first month.

In my business I coach and mentor scores of people in how to use the marketing system I use to promote their MLM or network marketing businesses. That system, known as Pay-It-Forward-4-Profits, contains a huge amount of training resources that are available to anyone who wants to use the system to promote their current business or to create a new home business. Those resources are extensive and complete in order to deliver a good education in how to run a successful, long-term and solid Internet-based business.

Internet marketing is an interesting industry. It's filled with people, intelligent and motivated, who lack knowledge in only two areas: the Internet and marketing. We are an industry made up almost entirely of people who hear that it's easy to make a huge income on the net in a matter of days, with no experience, no knowledge and almost no investment at all of either time or money. Many of us buy right into this myth the same way we did with the tooth fairy.

I can't tell you how many times I've received a call from one of my new trainees who will say something like this:

“Oh my God! I can't believe how much stuff is in there! Am I supposed to learn all that?”

Of course, we know what the short answer is here, but the interesting thing to me is the surprise. This tells me that the person uttering this sentence expected the process of starting a home business on the Internet to be an easy one ... even though they had absolutely no experience in this kind of endeavor previously. They had obviously, somewhere along the line, bought into that myth of the “auto-pilot money machine”, and expected to click here, copy and paste there, and then go on vacation as the huge checks rolled in.

That's not starting a business...that's daydreaming. It's an expectation of opportunity, without any accompanying adversity, and that is simply not how the Universe works.

To get past that stumbling block, we all must come to an understanding of the relationship between opportunity and adversity. This trainee was looking for one without the other. That's a fantasy and simply doesn't exist.

Very often, a trainee who asks the question above will follow it with something like: “That's impossible! I'll never get through it all.” Then they'll fall prey to the “deer-in-the-headlights” syndrome, and simply freeze up, unable to move further. If they can't shake themselves out of this state, they'll fall by the wayside and disappear.

Interestingly enough, this is also the same trainee who will tell me about all the different businesses they've been involved in before. They'll have a million reasons why this company was no good, or that pay plan was ridiculous, or nobody wanted this other product. They had made discoveries about each opportunity they tried, one after the other, that explained to them why the opportunity was a bad one. So they left each.

Note two things here: They left without success, and the fault was never theirs.

Obviously, success can't be achieved by abandoning an opportunity prematurely. What's not so obvious, at least to the person with this mind-set, is that the fault didn't lie with the company, where they would like to put the blame. The fault was their own. They were willing to accept the opportunity, but not the adversity that naturally comes with it.

Every opportunity comes with its own adversity and vice versa. That is a natural cycle of the Universe, like the seasons. If I'm in adversity today, even if I don't do a single thing about it, things will eventually change. The adversity will cease of its own accord. The problem this trainee has with all of their past companies and opportunities, lies in how they react to adversity.

Why do some other people succeed in those same companies? This trainee will tell you it's because they were lucky, or they knew someone, or some such drivel. The reality is quite different. This person failed in those companies because they reacted to adversity in a different manner than those who succeeded in those very same opportunities.

Here's what I'm driving at ... finally. If you actually want to create a home business for yourself, or create huge growth in one you already operate, you'll need to do much more than simply recognize a good opportunity. You'll also need to accept the adversity that naturally accompanies that opportunity. You'll need to recognize that you must overcome that adversity. Then you simply tuck your head down and trudge right through it to the other side.

Yes ... there is a lot of work to do.

Yes ... there is a lot of stuff to learn.

How can anyone expect to create something worthwhile without the adversities of work and study? It seems almost silly when you lay it out like this, and yet I run into it constantly.

Don't be deflected from your opportunity by the mere threat of adversity. Do what you need to do, and you will learn what you need to learn. Work on something today, and there will be one thing you won't have to do tomorrow.

Work and learning bring rewards.

Nobody said it would be easy, so don't demand that the Universe behave differently for you than it does to anyone else. Simply proceed down the road towards your opportunity. Welcome your adversities, knowing that the attainment of your goals will come through your own perseverance.

Don't give up.

Updates & New Goodies !

Steve Gaghagen

Does Your Life SUCK?
Click Here To UN-SUCK Your Life!


Hey everybody!

I've just updated some things here that you should know about. Most of these things will be for more advanced Pay It Forward 4 Profits members, but if they're not your cup of tea right now ... they will be soon. We're seeing more additions to our Team Leaderboard every day now, and you'll be seeing those results in this next Team Newsletter.

I've updated the Links section of the blog on the right. In there you'll find quite a few new resources that I wanted to draw your attention to...

Under "Safelists", you'll now find links to several good lists that weren't there before:

Rent-A-List is, by far, the best Safelist I've found. It's extremely responsive, and they do it in such a way that the list isn't saturated. It's great and very economical.

Smart-List is a good one. I've had pretty good results there.

AdSolutiOnline is a hybrid. One mailer is untargeted, and you can just use that daily with your membership. The other is credit-based. You must view e-mails and web pages to earn credits. When you use the cred-based mailer, you can target your prospects very specifically.
Here's a recommendation: if you're going to build up credits on a system like AdSolutiOnline... use a tabbed browser. The new Internet Explorer 7 has been released and it's great. You can actually "view" many web pages at once, earning credits very quickly.

Under "Networking For Leads", you'll find "Conquer Your Niche Forum". This is a great new concept from Russell Brunson. Ads are displayed on the site. Each time you post in the forum you earn credits for displaying your ads ...

PIF4P'ers have a great advantage in a place like this. Everyone there has a business to promote ... we're not offering them another business ... we offer them a Free Franchise that will help their business grow bigger and faster.

Conquer Your Niche Forum is something I recommend everyone incorporate into their daily routine. I've had very good results so far ... and it's brand new. It's not over-run with other PIF4P'ers yet, so get in there and do your stuff!

Under "List Builders", you'll find the new and fun site called "List Lotto". It's very cheap to get a Pro membership right now, but it will be going up soon, so hurry if you want to do that.

List Lotto is kewl. They have drawings for the opportunity to mail to the list. You get entries in the Lotto for referrals and membership level. It's just getting started, so you might want to check it out.

Under "Services", you'll now find "Article Marketer". This is simply the best way to get your articles distributed around the net. It's simple, inexpensive, and incredibly effective. We currently have hundreds of people a day visiting this blog. That's all due to Article Marketer. Anyone interested in incorporating article writing and distribution as one of their strategies to drive traffic to their PIF4P website really needs to be using these guys.

Under "Software" I've included a gizmo called "Instant Booster". Now, I'm not a great one for Blast-o-matics and Leads-o-matics, and Blasting your ads to Billions, etc. What all these thing seem to do is just get me a lot of crappy e-mail.

However, I decided to try this particular piece of software, and what do you know ... I got a signup off of one of the ads it posted not five days after I started using it. So, each night, before I go to bed, I set it up to send out 32 different ads to millions of Free For All web sites and directories, like Yahoo and Google and all the smaller ones. It takes about three hours to go through it's process, and it's done in the morning when I get up. I'm getting some results from it, so I'm passing it on here.

Three hints about anything like Instant Booster:

1) Don't just write one PIF ad. This is "keyword" based. These FFA's and search engines have different categories for their ads. I have PIF4P ads for "mlm", "network marketing", "business", etc., etc. If you do this, the software will submit your ad several times to each directory, each time under a different category.

2) If you're going to use something like Instant Booster, set it up with a seperate e-mail address. this thing posts to FFA pages where you are agreeing to accept e-mail offers in return for posting. Also, many of these sites send out "Confirm Your Posting" e-mails. You don't want all this crud in your business e-mail. I've created one e-mail address at GDI just for this purpose

3) Don't pay any attention to the "Confirm Your Posting", or "Confirmation Required" e-mails. Just go into your special account every couple of days and DELETE EVERYTHING. The confirmation requests are just bull ... there are ads in the e-mails they want you to read. Don't let them distract you ... be brutal! Delete the buggers!

One more thing:

Those of you not yet involved with The Advanced Mentoring Team should really take a look at this incredible opportunity. If you want to really use your PIF4P system to its fullest advantage, I believe that this is the best way to learn how to do that. I've found that being accepted on the AMT has just accelerated the growth of my business to an incredible rate.

If you think that you have the dedication and the motivation required to become a member of The Advanced Mentoring Team, call me for all the information. Alternatively, you can click on the link below or in the Links menu under "Primary Program". Paul Birdsall will tell you all about it.

Well ... that's it for now! New tools, tips, and toys!

Call me if you need any help!

Well, I'm excited for you as well. The Pay It Forward for Profits system is turning out to be the best thing that's ever happened to me, and it's really fulfilling to see your reactions as it's beginning to work for you as well.

Tonight I'm posting just to let you know that there is now a link here to a web page that I've titled "Getting Started With Your Pay It Forward 4 Profits System". Of course the Member's Area re-design has made the process almost self-explanatory, but I thought I'd provide this for new people coming in so they can see a permanently mounted explanation of what they should be doing.

You can find that link at the top of the menu to the right.

Choosing Your MLM Opportunity

MLM or Multi Level Marketing, on or off the Internet, is probably the business structure that offers the most opportunity for all involved. Everyone from the consumer to the business owner and builder can benefit greatly from this exciting business model. Choosing which MLM opportunity to take up as your own can be a daunting and sometimes harrowing task.

For every truly good MLM business opportunity, there are hundreds of fly-by-night, pre-launch, flavor-of-the-month, startups, all put together by people who have no intention of creating or contributing anything lasting to their enrollees or society. All of these “Hot Opportunities” and “Auto-Pilot” money-makers give good, solid, respectable MLM companies a bad name, and can make it very difficult for the sincere MLM'er to distinguish between the gold and the brass.

If you are currently contemplating becoming involved in an MLM opportunity, here are some things to keep in mind which may help to guide you in your selection:

1) A good MLM opportunity will have products that are unique enough to be able to receive patents. The products must serve multiple market categories, and must serve the masses, not just one strata of society.

2) The company must have a record of long term stability...no startups or “hot pre-launch” opportunities.

3) The company must provide a simple, effective marketing system...one that can be used by anyone and whose use anyone can duplicate. Failing that, it must at least lend itself to use by someone using such a system, and allow you to market it in that way.

4) The company must be led by successful business leaders, with a verifiable history of accomplishment and a vision for growth.

5) The company should be in a state of beginning to expand globally, using the Internet.

6) The compensation plan should maximize your income based on your efforts. It should pay out at least 50% of sales and should offer unlimited depth within the compensation plan, fast start bonuses, and other rewards and recognition.

MOST IMPORTANT HERE: you must be able to achieve $10,000 per month true residual income with less than 500 people in your organization.

and...

7) The company should contribute something of value to society, and be conscious of conducting its business effectively while preserving the environment, making a positive impact on the world at large.

All of those things are simple prerequisites of Good Business.

On the Internet today, the great majority of companies you will run across are being run by people who are truly experts in one thing...the Internet. They have no true Business background.

We've all heard the saying, “The Internet changed everything”. Well, it didn't. It only changed the environment. The activity itself is still Business, and these people know nothing, and care nothing, about creating a long-term, truly functional organization, designed to serve its customers, its distributors, its executives, and society itself. They do a complete disservice to the concept of MLM and network marketing and the entrepreneurs who participate in it.

In my MLM businesses, I often relate this concept to my enrollees/trainees in this manner:

Let's say you are going to perform an activity within a certain environment. The activity will be reading a book, and let's suppose that the environment will be your living room. You'll naturally perform the activity in a manner allowed by the environment. You'll probably sit in a comfortable chair with a cup of coffee or cold drink nearby.

If you want to perform that same activity in a different environment, say at a Metallica concert, you will perform it in a slightly different manner...perhaps using earplugs and a flashlight.

However, even though the environment is changed, and therefore you adjust some aspects of how you perform the activity, the activity itself remains the same.

You still need to know how to read.

Business is still business. Plan long-term, solidly, with one eye on the past and one on the future. Don't be misled by fads, fashions, or hype. Choose you MLM opportunity using the guidelines of time-tested business principles and you won't go wrong.

Hey Guys! Check Your Member's Area!
How KEWL !

I've been saying that changes were coming to the Member's Area at PIF4P. Well......

They're Here! AND.....They're Great!

Check yours.

You know how I've struggled to simplify the setup process for my enrollees. That's why I finally came up with the 7-Step process I posted on the blog the other night.

Well, Paul and Joel have simplified it even more. The "7-Step Process" is no longer necessary. New enrollees can now simply "Follow the big red buttons"....Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3. Can't get much more simple than that. AND...... there is really no need for them to even go to the "Affiliate Links" menu at all.......all those steps are covered, affiliate links uploaded, AND the Response Magic autoresponder is upgraded, all in the three red buttons......just follow the process.

Direct Matches and Adland Pro are now included in the setup proceedure, AND the new enrollee
is signed up in those services directly under you, and trained in their use to get them going quickly so they can get signups right away.

I would like to urge ALL PIF4P'ers to go through this process carefully yourself. You need to know what happens there so you can teach your enrollees how to duplicate it.

This is going to make things so much easier for you, AND so much more DUPLICATEABLE for your enrollees.

I'd like to draw your attention to something else:

In case any of you are still in any doubt about the "quality" or "trustworthiness" of the people you're working with.....here is an example of just who you guys are working with and learning from:

Before today, the $17.95 per month required to upgrade and maintain your Response Magic autoresponder was money that went completely to Response Magic. That is no longer true. Beginning today, Paul and Joel have negotiated an arrangement with Response Magic that you will love:

From now on, whenever anyone you enroll pays their monthly $17.95 to Response Magic, YOU will receive 15% of that as commission from RM!

That means there is still another way in which the system will work to pay your operating costs and to GROW your business.

I'm sure you'll all agree with me that the Pay It Forward For Profits system is becoming easier and easier to use, and more effective whenever anyone learns how to use it correctly.

Have a good day, all.........

DON'T BE SHY!

Call or e-mail if you need me.

Final Version:

My REFINED

7-Step Process For Beginning PIF4P Enrollees

I Promise This Is The LAST ONE!

Steve Gaghagen

I'm sure you're all going to be overjoyed to see this, but hey, folks, this is a learnin curve for all of us. I'm just a little ahead of most of you, so....stuff happens.

I've been refining what I believe to be a simple and clear start up process for all new enrollees in the Pay It Forward 4 Profits System. Joel and Paul are upgrading and updating the Member's area as well, so some locations might change, but essentially, what I'm posting here is a good foundation for us all to work with.

It now includes 7 steps, and here it is:

7-Step Configuration and Startup Process For Newbies

1) Getting Started Checklist.

2) Listen to "Crash Course In Funded Sponsoring" found under the Training tab.

3) Affiliate menu - "Setup Your Complete Funded Sponsoring System". Start at the top and work down finishing with "Upload Affiliate Links".

4) Get On A Quick Start Call. (Schedule found in the Live Training section under the Training tab)

5) Do Day 1 And Day 2 of the Success Guide (Found under the Marketing tab).

6) Get On A Fast Start Traffic School Call. (Schedule found as in #4 above)

7) Get back into Success Guide, Starting on day 3 and just keep on going. Keep on attending the Fast Start Traffic School calls, and as much Training as you can.

Also, in the Live Training schedule, you'll see a place to register for the online conference training sessions held by Janet Legere. I also recommend those. I consider her my mentor (though she might not know it....LOL), and the sessions are great.

There it is...FINALLY.

I've also found a way to keep this post on top, I believe. If I can do that, I'll keep it right here for a while so it's easy to find.

As always, please call if you need me. Our team is just about 60 members right now, and I believe we'll hit 100 before the end of November. We're from all parts of the world, from Austrailia and India, to Singapore, Finland, the UK, the US, and Canada. Many of you are now enrolling members of your own, and it's becoming very exciting.

Remember that this blog is here for you. I'm sure you'll eventually want to set up your own for your own team, but feel free to refer your own enrollees here until you do.

Keep up the good work everybody. The Pay It Forward 4 Profits system really does work if you simply DUPLICATE the process. Don't try to re-invent the wheel. Joel Broughton and Paul Birdsall have already invented it and handed it to you. Just follow the process, at your own speed, and everything else will follow.

L8R !
