Leads

Leads
 
Let's delve deeper into the world of internet marketing.  You will discover some interesting facts in my article concerning about leads and leads generating systems I believe.  I like to look behind the scenes at different ways that people struggle and strain in hopes of getting rich quick from an online business.  They seem to be drawn to the magic buttons out on Google.  You know the ones I am talking about here.  "I will get your website to the top of Google for only $197.00...I will get you millions of highly motivated visitors to your website for only $9.97...Blast your emails to 8 million people for only $29.95...I will unlock the secrets of promoting effectively on Google for only $197...You get over $500 worth of  downloadable software from only $99...The hit booster which will blast out your ads to all the blogging systems of the world for only $49.95...and the best of all...Buy fresh prospect leads, less than 24 hours old, telephone surveyed and highly motivated buyers for your online business...people who are eagerly wanting your product for only $10 per lead."
 
I am going to be bold here today and make a generalized statement about the millions and millions of ads and websites that we see on Google today.  The are all BULLSHIT!  Yes, you heard it from me.  I am a successful search engine optimizer.  I know exactly how to buy keyword specific domains.  I know how to drive traffic to a website by gaining top positions on Google.  I know how all about leads and lead generating system.  You want to know the funny part of all of this?  You can learn exactly the same thing that I know.  Let's break this down into even simpler terms.
 
1.  "I will get your website indexed on Google within 24 hours for only $197."   Ok great.  I can do exactly the same thing by going here and adding my url.  http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl  There you go Mr. SEO guru scam artist.  I just indexed my own site for absolutely no charge.
 
2.  "I will get your website one million highly motivated visitors for only $9.97"  There is no such thing as a highly motivated website visitor.  There are simply people looking for information by typing into Google a particular phrase.  If you think people are highly motivated buyers for your program, think again.  Unless you get top positions on Google for your site in a high traffic area, no one will see that site.
 
3.  "Blast your emails to 8 million people for only $29.95."  Well, the simple truth is that no one is going to sign up for anything from an email.  If they do, they are morons.  Email advertising is a dead horse.  Emails are not being delivered.  Oh sure, you may tell me that Yahoo, RoadRunner, Comcast, AOL, GMail and all the other email providers are not blocking your emails, but you are wrong.  The ALL block your emails.  There is another great way to check to see if someone is a serious online marketer, or just another person trying to peddle their wares.  Look from where the email comes.  If it comes from any of the above email providers, they are just somebody trying to sell you something.  They are not professionals.  Any professional online marketer knows that owning their own domain email is the only way to become truly proficient in marketing.
 
4.  "I will unlock the secrets of Google for you for only $197.  I will do that right now in this article.  Write great content.  There you go.  Now, go out and prosper on Google and it did not cost you one thin dime.
 
5.  "You will get over $500 worth of valuable downloadable ebooks to use to build your business for only $99.  Ok, now what?  Am I supposed to promote them, use them or just let them take up memory on my computer.  Are you beginning to see the pattern I am talking about here?
 
6.  Now comes my favorite topic.  That would be concerning leads.  "Buy fresh, double opted in, never been sold before, telephone surveyed leads.  Get a whopping 70% conversion rate on these leads for only $10 per lead."  Hey, Mr. Leads Broker.  I have bought your supposed highly motivated fresh prospect, your telephone surveyed leads, your double opted in leads and your never before been sold leads.  Guess what?  I might just as well spent my money on air.  It would have done me much better than to buy your oversold, over-advertised to and your supposed fresh prospect leads.  As a matter of fact, one of the best internet marketers on this planet today, Al Turnquist, once told me that he has built many successful online businesses by using the white pages of a phone book.  His record salesmanship speaks for itself.  So Mr. targeted leads broker, peddle your leads to someone else, because I do NOT need them.
 
The whole point of my presentation here today is to tell you that there is a real way to learn internet marketing.  There is real way to learn search engine marketing.  There is a real way to learn the skills that you need to successfully run an online business.  Its called education.  You need to be educated in the ways of Google.  You need to become a professional, and not just some schmuck trying to build their business the way everyone else is doing and failing.  Here are the two systems that will teach you exactly what you need to know to become successful in a small home business online.

Granted, I am not looking for everyone to join these systems.  If you are looking for magic button, quick fix, ebook downloads and worthless online tools, you do NOT need to join me here.  I am only looking for motivated, inspired and far sighted people who want to be educated in the inner workings of Google and the internet.
 
 

Goji

In terms of further education concerning Goji Juice, Goji Berries, Tibetan Goji Juice and Himalayan Goji Juice, I will inform the public on the inside makeup of Goji.  While controversial in nature, all this information will be derived from a prime source of relevant information called the Wikipedia online encyclopedia.  It will then be up to you to decide whether or not to drink Goji Juice for your health.
 
 
According to the Wikipedia, "Wolfberry is the common name for the fruit of two very closely related species: Lycium barbarum (Chinese: 宁夏枸杞; Pinyin: Níngxià gǒuqǐ) and L. chinense (Chinese: 枸杞; Pinyin: gǒuqǐ), two species of boxthorn in the family Solanaceae (which also includes the potato, tomato, eggplant, deadly nightshade, chili pepper, and tobacco). Although its original habitat is obscure (probably southeastern Europe to southwest Asia), wolfberry species are now grown around the world, primarily in China.[1]
 

According to the United States Department of Agriculture Germplasm Resources Information Network[2], it is also known as Chinese wolfberry, goji berry, barbary matrimony vine, bocksdorn, cambronera,[3] Duke of Argyll's tea tree,[4] or matrimony vine.[5] Unrelated to the plant's geographic origin, the names Tibetan goji and Himalayan goji are in common use[6] in the health food market for products from this plant."  I have learned to trust the Wikipedia encyclopedia as it only gives relevant and useful information about any subject.  There is never any hype or misrepresentations here.  This is exactly the way I operate my business as well.  As Dr. Mindell stated in a recent interview "I never make any claims about Goji.  I just report my findings, then the people decide whether or not to drink it."

 

In China this fruit is known to be medicinal in nature.  According to the Wikipedia, "Known in Asia as an extremely nutritious food, wolfberries have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for at least 2,000 years (Gross et al., 2006). Their undocumented legend, however, is considerably older, as wolfberries are often linked in Chinese lore to Shen Nung (Shennong), China's legendary First Emperor, mythical father of agriculture, and herbalist who lived circa 2,800 BC.

 

Since the early 21st century in the United States and other such industrialized countries, there has been a rapidly growing recognition of wolfberries for their nutrient richness and antioxidant qualities, with 54 new product introductions worldwide during 2006[15]. Such rapid commercial development includes wolfberry among a novel category of functional foods called "superfruits" expected to be a double-digit growth market over the next several years[16][17] [18].

 

It is apparent that the growth and popularity of Goji is rapidly spreading.  This multi-billion dollar industry, though highly scrutized by the FDA and other departments, is fluorishing.  Despite critics and the nay sayers, it is obvious that the Goji fruit is causing quite a stir worldwide.

 

Stay tuned for more Goji insights from the world of functional foods.
