Put Yourself In The Shoes Of The Failing Marketer

in EZ Wealth Solution, General, Marketing Tips
Today, I have to vent a little.
First off, I apologize to anyone who feels like they are getting bombarded with emails from me. I also apologize if it seems like I’m sending out information regarding certain passive income programs that may not seem appropriate.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. EZ Wealth Solution is my primary business, but I do dabble in other programs from time to time. You may wonder, “Why does he join other programs if he’s doing so well with EZ Wealth Solution?” That’s a good question and I’ll let you know why in a minute.
Lets look at things from the failing marketers perspective first. Over 95% of the people who join any MLM or affiliate program will fail. That’s the honest truth. I know it and every other successful market on the internet knows it. These failing marketers join program after program like its a drug or something. Simply put, most people who attempt to market online will always fail.
Now, lets say that I find a VERY easy way to earn money that actually works for me. Wouldn’t it be a good thing for me to introduce such a program to people who always fail? Some people think I should stay away from doing that, but I must say this. If I can find a solution that puts money in someones pocket who has done nothing except lost out on every thing he/she tries, what harm has been done?
I’ve been told that promoting certain passive income program can ruin my credibility. From my experience, it does tend to ruin your credibility with a few people, but on the other hand, it can drastically help your credibility with others. Think about it. If you can put 100 failing marketers on to something that actually works, it can’t do anything but help your credibility.
You see, I know that most people suck at marketing. Marketing is not something that everyone can learn overnight. There is no magic button to push and this is why so many people always fail with MLM, affiliate marketing or business opportunities in general.
Anyway, I’ll continue to market my EZ Wealth Business just as I’ve been doing. I’ll also continue to point failing marketers to passive income solutions to help them earn back money that they’ve lost in an effort of joining MLM programs and trying to promote them as well.

Are You Setting Your Downline Up To Fail?
by Sean Grimes on November 2, 2009
in General
Are you a hard worker when it comes to marketing your online business? If so, then you may be setting your down-line up to fail.
If you’ve noticed, many marketers are doing A LOT of different things to build their online businesses. Many marketers are creating lead capture pages, using auto-responders, putting together you-tube videos, doing live conferences, setting up blogs, marketing their businesses online and even creating their own information products to build their businesses. There is nothing wrong with this, but you have to understand something that is really important. Your down-line in most cases will want to do exactly what you’re doing if they partner with you. If they do decide to partner with you, this can be VERY discouraging to them and this is very understandable. Most people simply want to join an opportunity and start making money. If you’ve been marketing online long enough, you’ll know this is not possible in most cases, but many business opportunities on the internet give newbie marketers the impression that this is exactly what they can do. I’ll admit, many opportunities throw out pitches that can be very deceiving. Marketers like myself who’ve been around long enough know better though. In order to make money from MLM or affiliate programs, you must advertise and market your business properly.
If you’re a newbie marketer, you should be VERY careful if you join anything under a sponsor who uses powerful marketing strategies to recruit you. Chance are that you’ll have to do exactly what your sponsor does if you want to duplicate what he/she is doing. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced marketer, your marketing strategy should not be too difficult to follow. If your marketing strategy is too difficult, no one will be able to follow what you’re doing. Yes, you’ll be able to make money, but the people in your down-line simply won’t be able to keep up with what you’re doing. I know this from personal experience. About 2 years ago, I was in a business where I earned over $10,000 in a very short time. I sponsored many people, but I didn’t have one person in my down-line who could follow what I was doing.Yes, I was able to make money, but I felt bad for the people who could not follow along with what I was doing.
Most people I recruit into any program I’ve ever joined have failed. I’m not saying this to discourage you. I’m just being honest. I’ll admit that I’ve used many marketing strategies that many people simply could not follow. Think about this for a moment. If you join my main business under me today, you have no idea how I even market my business before joining. All you see is the business opportunity with a hyped up sales pitch. You don’t see the money I spend on advertising. You don’t see me sending out emails to my list on daily basis. You don’t see the phone conversations I have with potential partners. You don’t know that I may have used a personal lead capture page I created that is tied in with my auto-responder. Like I said, all you see is the business opportunity with a hyped up sales pitch. I make a lot of money from my main business, but I already know that most people simply do not have the drive to market the way I do.
I’ve learned that 95% of failing marketers should stay away from MLM opportunities and affiliate programs altogether and stick with passive income solutions where they can earn guaranteed money without sponsoring. This will ensure that they don’t lose any money. There are many programs on the internet that a person can join without spending any money at all and make really good money it they put their mind to it. There are also investment programs(can be risky) you can get into as well.

Hope this has been helpful to you in some way. Just know that if you put your mind to it, the sky is the limit. If you don’t think you’re up to learning how to market online, stick with passive income solutions.

Did I See A UFO?
by Sean Grimes on October 7, 2009
in General
This will probably be the weirdest post I’ve ever made, but please try to follow what I saw 2 nights ago that got my attention.
I live in Ofallon Missouri and was out walking my dog around Sunset. I looked in the North Eastern part of the sky and I saw what appeared to be 2 bright starts next to each other that were at 45 degrees from each other.
What got my attention was that the stars(that’s what I thought they were at first) seemed to be moving VERY slowly in sync with each other and they were really bright. They were moving so slow, that I had to take my head and place it against the post on my porch and gauge the lights with the roof of my neighbors house to determine that they were indeed moving.
I thought it could have been 2 planes or maybe even one, but the lights seemed too bright and the speed at which they were moving made it very hard to tell. As I looked at these lights, they simply faded away. It’s like they were really bright and then 3 seconds later, they were gone out of my site. They just faded away like someone turned off a dimmer switch. If I had to describe how bright they were, I’d compare them to a welding arc light.
Now, I live about 15 minutes west of a busy airport so it very well could have been some sort of plane or planes. It just looked REALLY weird how the lights disappeared right before my eyes.
Since they were moving, they/it couldn’t have been stars. Since they/it didn’t appear to travel very far, they couldn’t have been a satellite.
My guess? I was either looking at a plane or planes or it very well could have been 1 or 2 objects that simply could not be identified.
I usually look up to the sky a lot and never in my 36 years of living have I ever seen anything like what I saw the other night. Also know that when I say I saw a UFO, that’s exactly what I mean. I’m not saying I saw a spaceship from planet X. I’m also not saying that I saw a UFO that had little green men on it. I simply saw something that I could not identify using logic.
Hopefully, this wasn’t too weird for you.
Please feel free to share any strange experiences that you’ve experienced.

Today I’m Throwing In The Towel: Say Goodbye To MLM
by Sean Grimes on September 16, 2009
in General
You may be shocked, but today is my last day with ANY MLM program. I don’t care if I’m making money or not. I will be leaving any program that does not deliver. I’m doing this in an effort to focus on my my main business which is EZ Wealth Solution.
I’m not doing out of anger. That’s not the case at all. Think of it as a spring cleaning just before fall.
Here is the main reason why I’m doing this. Lazy people and MLM simply do not go hand in hand. I simply refuse to keep recruiting people into programs only to watch them sit and do nothing. I’ve helped people by advertising for them. I’ve also placed people under people only to see those people quit on me. I’ve done all kinds of work to try to sustain a nice sized MLM downline only to have people quit on me while the company sends me a check for less than $100. It would not be smart of me to continue promoting stuff that delivers less in one month than what I currently earn in one day with EZ Wealth Solution. I used to hear people complaining about how their uplines wouldn’t do anything for them. I said to myself, “I can change this. All I have to do is advertise for people and build their downlines for them.” I had to learn the hard way that just because you advertise for someone and place people under them, it doesn’t mean that they’ll remain as an active member in your downline.
The fact is that if you want to earn SERIOUS money in programs like GVO, GDI, GlobalNPN, Freebieforce or any other MLM, you’ll have to build one heck of a downline which requires that you bring in some SERIOUS people. A down-line that’s full of whiners, lazy people and tire kickers will do you no good at all. As you try to hunt for serious people, you’ll be constantly replacing lazy people in your downline who will not stick around for a long period of time.
In the past few months, I’ve earned right at $8000 with EZ Wealth Solution. I could have earned more, but I was still putting energy on stuff that simply did not deliver. Now, if you want to hear something sad. In the past 3 months of being in GLobalNPN and GDI, I probably earned a combined total of $200. Is the light bulb coming on on your head now? I earn in 1 day with EZ Wealth Solution what I earn in 1-3 months from 2 of the hottest programs on the net.
From here on out, it’s EZ Wealth Solution 100%. I’ll still do my affiliate marketing, but I’m officially through will MLM for good.
** NOTICE!! ** – (9/18/09) As a results from taking my concentration off MLM programs that don’t pay, it looks like I’m back to averaging $100 a day again. On 9/17/09, I made $150. On 9/18/09, I made $100. I know for a fact that most people won’t make that much in any given MLM program even if they were a member for 6 months.

Canceling Your GVO Kiosk.ws Account
by Sean Grimes on September 15, 2009
in General
If you took the $1 trial with GVO and want to cancel, then this post is for you.
It has come to my attention that if you want to cancel your GVO account, you must log in and send them a support ticket 2 days prior to your billing date. For now, it seems like this is the only way you can cancel your account out. If you fail to do this, you will be billed $44.95
I basically tested the system and it is very similar to a System that I’ve using for over 2 years now, but I only pay $19.95 a month. True, GVO give does have features such as unlimited video hosting, but most people are hosting their videos for free with services like Youtube, plus I get some extra features that GVO can’t even touch. I also have a much better auto-responder system, but that’s just my opinion. Scroll down and click the yellow and blue box to your right if you want to learn more.
Anyway, I hope this information finds the person who needs it.
Take care,

Skype Virus Or Trojan: PASS THIS ON!

If you use Skype pay close attention to this.
If you receive any files from any of your TRUSTED skype contacts that says anything like:
[2:31:20 PM] *** Your Contacts Name *** sent file”mynewpicture.jpg

Do not accept this!
This is some sort of Trojan that will attempt to contact all of your contacts with the same message and then just keeps repeating itself.
Pass this along to any of your contacts.

A Unique Way To Earn Money Online?
by Sean Grimes on May 31, 2009
in General
There is a system that I’ve seen time and time again so I finally decided to give it a serious look.
The system is called EZ Wealth Solution. When I first saw the program I thought to myself, “How cheesy is this?” Sometimes I get so caught up into other stuff that I really don’t bother to look into other programs all that much.
I finally gave it a serious look and to my amazement, the system has a very unique way to earn A LOT of money fast. For the past month after the date of this post, I’ve been earning AT LEAST $100 daily and my best day was $435!
I’ll try to break it down as simple as possible. The system has a unique pay it forward strategy going where EVERYONE who joins must pay their first referrals way into Level 1 for $47. Now, this only has to be paid once and only once. You also have to pay a $10 a month admin fee, but other than that, the only money you HAVE to spend is $47 for the first person you or your upline refers to the system for you. The first person starts your unique $47 payline. Each person referred to the system after that will have their way paid into the program as well, but check this out. You’ll receive all of those $47 payments. So basically, you pay one person into the program which starts your $47 payline. That’s only level 1. There are other levels where you can earn even more money such as $97 on level 2.
What I like about this system is that you can make a lot of money fast. For instance. In a typical MLM program, you’d have to pay a higher monthly fee, you’d have to recruit more people and you’d also have to reach a certain threshold before you can even get paid. For example, most MLM’s won’t give you a check unless you earn $20 or more.
The only drawback to a system like this is that lazy people will not earn much money at all. Well, I guess that’s the case for any MLM program too. Now it’s possible to earn money with this system if you’re a slacker because of upline support, but it’s unlikely that you’ll rake in a lot of money sitting on your butt while doing nothing. This is not a matrix or a passive income opportunity. Sad to say, but lazy people will be attracted to this system. That’s just the name of the game, but if you’re willing to work this program, you can earn a huge amount of money. The work is really simple. All you need to do is send out ads to safelist or list builders and you’ll do just fine.
I’ve also been getting tour takers from places where I have even advertised! To be honest, I haven’t even advertised this system much, but because of some unknown traffic sources, I have people coming into my system from Google, yahoo groups and other places.
Anyway, this is really cool because I can still focus on my primary business while earning GREAT money with EZ Wealth Solution. All I have to do is pay the $10 a month admin fee and blast out a few ads to safelist here and there which will only take minutes of my time every week.
If you want to learn about this system, I recommend that you create a free account and then attend one of my sponsors live seminars which are held 3 times a week. If you decide to join, remember, I’ll pay your way into level 1 to get your $47 payline started. I’ll give you access to the seminars after you take your free tour.

Think About This BEFORE A Reverse Marketer Traps You..
by Sean Grimes on May 23, 2009
in General, Marketing Tips
Hello. Today I want to talk about Reverse Marketers again. These are marketers who hunt for other marketers who are struggling or are not having immediate success in their MLM programs. These reverse marketers main goal is to steer you away from your program. I’d like to give you a little advice on how to deal with these folks. They can be VERY annoying, but some of these guys are REALLY good. Trust me, I’ve been trapped before and it was very expensive too.
Reverse marketers are smart in that they don’t usually pay for advertising. Their main goal is to get on your list and to start a relationship with you. They then try to get you on the phone. In rare cases, they’ll even join your program and then steer you over to theirs. Soon after, they’ll quit your program. I’ve had people opt in to my mailing list and immediately try to cross promote their opportunity to me. These guys usually don’t do very well. The ones you have to worry about are the ones who contact you via email saying that they have a question about your MLM program. You call them and everything goes fine…at first. The next thing you know, the conversation switches from your opportunity to their opportunity. If this happens to you, you should get back on track with your opportunity or end the call. Stay on the phone long enough and they’ll trap you.
One thing these reverse marketers don’t realize is that they send VERY bad signals and don’t even realize it. If they can distract you from what currently building and get you to join their MLM business, for one, it shows them that you are not very dedicated. They know this already though in most cases. It also shows them that you more than likely were not having any success with your business. It should also show YOU that they are not out to build a strong team. Think about it. Why would I want to recruit a person into my business who demonstrates that he/she may hop from program to program? That wouldn’t do my business any good. And besides, reverse marketing is a reverse marketers best strategy. If you partner with him/her, they will try to teach you how to reverse market as well. In most cases, reverse marketers may have been closers or may have been involved in sales. Trust me. I’ve actually dealt with companies who hire people to reverse market. Everyone does no know how to reverse market. It requires a level of confidence that most people just don’t posses. Reverse marketers in most cases have a LOVE for getting people on the phone.
If you don’t want to fall into a reverse marketers trap, watch out for emails where the prospect is trying too hard to get you on the phone. We’re in a new age now. Most people will communicate via email. Once they get you on the phone, you can actually become their prospect really fast. You’ll find that many successful marketers do not list their phone numbers anywhere on the web. They do this to avoid these annoying marketers. Finally, if they do get you on the phone, end the call if they mention anything other than your business. Your focus should be your business only.
Anyway, I thought you’d like this post.

OTO’s And Why You Should Be Using Them
by Sean Grimes on February 11, 2009
in Articles, General, Marketing Tips
Hopefully, the acronym OTO is nothing new to you if your an online marketer. If you’d like to know, OTO stand for One Time Offer. I’m sure you’ve been presented with many OTO’s by now. Normally, this is how they work.
A prospect fills out a form to request information on something. The prospect usually has to confirm his email address by going to their inbox and clicking a link in a special confirmation email. After clicking this link, the prospect is then may be directed to an information or sales page and in many cases, they are directed to an OTO page. Usually, the OTO you are presented with is a hard to refuse product or a special membership deal. This is a great way to make quick cash to fund your business. What I mean by fund your business is that the OTO’s can offset your advertising cost if you’re using paid advertising. Now, here is the big question. Should you be using OTO’s?
Most people should use OTO’s, but if you’re a beginner marketer, they can be a very big distraction to you. Many newbie marketers don’t even have a domain name, auto-responder service or hosting account and in most case, OTO’s are hosted solutions that each individual marketer will set up on his/her own. It involves finding or creating a hard to refuse product, creating or editing a couple of web-pages to be hosted and also integrating the OTO with a payment processor. This can be very difficult for a beginner marketer. I know it would have been hard for me too about 2 years ago, but they are actually really easy to set up. In many cases, you can pick up special One Time Offer packages with master resellers rights that can be bought and sold over and over again. This may be the choice for a marketer who know how to create and edit web-pages, but doesn’t know how to create their own products yet. Here is an example of an OTO package that you can pick up with master resellers rights:
Again, this may be a bit much for a newbie marketer to set up at first. There are ways to get around this though. You can use an OTO service that simplifies this process, but you’ll still need to use a preferred Auto-Responder Service.
Anyway, the OTO service I have in mind is very simple to use. You can have hot OTO’s set up in minutes. You can view the service here:
Just make sure that you don’t overlook the power of OTO’s for too long. In most cases, people will buy your OTO before they even join your business!
If you think you need special training before you dive into OTO’s, you may want to take an internet marketing course to get your feet wet:
Anyway, as you begin to learn more and more about marketing online, be sure to keep that acronym “OTO” in the back of your head because in may REALLY come in hand someday.
Take care,

Creating The Perfect Marketing Funnel
by Sean Grimes on January 30, 2009
in General, Marketing Tips
Another important read here if you want to set up the perfect system for your business.
To take full advantage of the internet and to eliminate having to call warm and cold leads, you need to create a system that markets to your prospects on 100% auto pilot. You should be able to advertise one page and your system should do the rest. If you don’t have such a system set up, then your business will not function efficiently.
The perfect system consist of:
- Your own domain name and a web hosting account.(if you don’t have this, you are not in control of what is displayed on your webpage.)
- A Squeeze Page/Lead Capture Page(used to capture contacts information)
- An Auto Responder System(used to follow up with your prospects with RELEVANT information)
- A Self Funded Proposal(a one time offer suited to the theme of your squeeze page. Without this, recouping your advertising budget will be a little harder)
- Valuable Tips And Information For Your Prospect(this is needed for each and everyone on your mailing list. Valuable information will keep people from opting out of your list and they will be more likely to buy from you since you won’t be bombarding them with ads.)
Here is the problem for most marketers. Many people are afraid to learn what it takes to make money online. They’ll go out and join every business opportunity in the book thinking that each one will solve their problems. It just doesn’t work that way. You have to retrain your state of mind and get educated first.
I can’t stress how important it is for everyone to set up his or her own system that is unique to them only. There are systems you can follow that work really well, but if you want to step your game up, you must create you own system. It’s not as tough as you think it is though. One of my mentors, Kenneth Koh gave me access to a powerful script that does everything I mentioned which is required for the perfect marketing system. This little free script he gave me for free is the gateway to my business on the internet. Since I am one of his preferred members, I’m able to get access to tools like this. Unfortunately, most people would rather join another MLM business instead of getting the tools and training they need to run a successful business.
You can still make money online without having the perfect marketing funnel, but I never made any serious money online until I created my own marketing funnel. Things really began to ramp up when I took a course in Google Adwords Advertising. It’s sad that many people give up on internet marketing before they realize that many other people, right this very instant, have their own automated systems set-up that pull in prospects, generate instant cash payments and follows up with their leads on 100% complete auto-pilot. It’s as simple as creating a squeeze page and creating one little Google Adwords campaign that sends you leads and sales around the clock. Please consider the course below before you give up on Google Adwords. Out of every course I’ve had, it’s the only one that was geared towards internet and affiliate marketing.
Some training can be costly, but it’s the people who are trained who make the money besides loosing it.
Hope this has inspired you in some way, shape or form.
Take care.
Sean Grimes
