The home based business industry has always been appealing to people seeking financial independence. Co-operative marketing can help alleviate some major roadblocks that have seriously hampered many home based entrepreneurs. Co-operative marketing in the context we are speaking of defined is simply combining the efforts of a group of entrepreneurs in promoting a single product or business.
The profits from this arrangement would be split proportionately according to the amount of participation from each member in the co-op. The contributions from each individual could range from money, skills, energy, time and other resources. This would be determined in advance according to whatever arrangement the members agree to follow.
(1) It Should Encourage Teamwork and Community- This is something that anyone who is looking to be successful in any venture can always use. Even if your endeavor tends to be more independent in nature you can always use any support and encouragement you receive from accomplished mentors or coaches or others who may be struggling just like you are.
(2) Your Success Rate Should Accelerate- The promotional efforts of a group of marketers focused on one single business or product line can have a greater more powerful impact than an individual with limited resources. This can speed up the results and the size of your marketing campaigns.
(3) Members Don’t Have To Compete With Each Other- If five hundred people promote five hundred different products, there is bound to be some inevitable competition. Competition is not some horrible thing but it can be daunting for novice entrepreneurs. Jointly promoting a single entity during the launching and building phase of your business can bring many benefits. You would not receive all of the profits but with a fair and equitable arrangement you can still receive a decent share.
(4) It Should Encourage A Niche Product Focus- Network marketing is a very prevalent and popular business model in this industry. A word of caution is necessary here. If the company you represent puts it’s sole focus on the business opportunity itself rather than a niche product of some type you can eventually run into a problem.
The modern network marketing industry dates back roughly to the 1950’s. The companies that are still standing and are billion dollar companies being traded in the stock market all have a niche product focus. Even if they heavily promote mass recruiting, it’s their paying niche customers that stay with them for several years or even decades.
(5) It Should Encourage Individual and Distinct Branding, Growth and Leadership- You have to grow up and fly out of the nest at some point. A brand new business would benefit greatly from a co-operative marketing campaign and it’s community. An established and experienced marketer can benefit as well from any aggressive marketing campaigns but each individual as they branch out further into specific niche products they need to distinguish themselves from others in their industry. They also need to present credibility and expertise for the trust and benefit of their customers. Branding and leadership will reward them individually and their niche customers as well.

Can Mastermind Groups Accomplish More Than A Single Individual?
I don’t know but maybe you can tell me. If there are a group of individuals with a single focus and excellent coaching, mentoring and leadership that take consistent group action to achieve a single goal, do they hold more power than a single individual? Well let’s build on that scenario. What if many of the group members are inexperienced in the field that the group is focused on and lack the skills, experience or maybe just the confidence to achieve the goal on their own?
Skeptical individuals may beg to differ and say that the real success individuals have always been self starters. This is very true. No individual should wait on another person to motivate them to take the action steps needed to be successful. History proves that these people are looking for and making excuses. Excuses don’t bring success. Determined and consistent action following a proven plan is what works.
Let’s examine this further. History also shows that coaching and mentoring were always critical to the successes of high achievers. They sometimes had talent and other times just sheer drive and determination. But they never made huge or even modest successes on their own. People help people directly and indirectly. The skills, talents, experiences, assets and resources that you may not have can be applied by somebody somewhere who does have them.
You ever heard people say “Nobody gave me nothing. I had to fight and scratch for what I have.” I’m not here to argue with them. I haven’t lived their lives. People have fought and struggled to survive or prosper for centuries. But let’s examine that sentiment further.
Gratitude takes the opposite approach to that viewpoint. Gratitude can begin with the simplest and most overlooked things. Gratitude is expressed for things that we receive. Someone had to give us something. So now we are back to where we started. Mastermind groups give us some wonderful advantages if we are willing to contribute to the success of the group we belong to. Does this all make sense now?
So the question we began with was who can accomplish more? The answer may seem obvious to some but we are really just examining a core principle and a concept here. By considering the benefits and even criticisms of the concept we can then arrive at our own conclusions. If you think such an arrangement might be beneficial for you then maybe we may need to get together and explore this thing further.

7 Steps To Mentally Programming Success
Everybody in life wants to be successful. Humans around the globe down through the centuries have wanted success and happiness in life. This could be in the area of finances, spirituality, health, relationships or other types of achievements.
Since this has been a universal endeavour for humans since the dawn of creation, there haven’t been very many brand new scientific or technological breakthroughs in the area of human achievement. But knowledge, wisdom and inspiration have always been precious commodities. When something of value has been delivered to us in a certain way at a certain time it may affect us in a way that it didn’t affect us say, oh, ten years ago.
The Bible is an ancient book but reading it today may not necessarily enlighten us with a brand new “ah-ha” moment. But reading a certain passage can strengthen us today just as powerfully as it may have done years ago. The same passage could strengthen us tomorrow with an even stronger effect.
What follows is a short list of seven steps to mentally program our minds to achieve and attract success. There is much more science and data available on the subject but these are some of the basic fundamentals. These would be the beginnings of the journey to success. These steps are in no particular order.
1: A Successfully Proven Plan- History is filled with pioneers who blaze trails and paths in unknown territories. It’s much easier to follow someone’s successful example than to find our own way through trial and error. Children for example can learn how hot a stove is from their parents or they can learn through their own trial and discovery. Our own success will be much easier if we were to follow a proven path based on existing evidence.
2: A Successful Coach or Mentor- None of us can succeed in major undertakings alone. Someone had to at least show us some type of model of success. People who have proven to be successful and who know how to communicate with us can teach us and inspire us to succeed in our own paths.
3: Visualization- Holding a clear, vivid and preferably emotionally intense vision of our goal completed and accomplished in our minds is another success tool that has been used since ancient times. This activity is not to be confused with mere daydreaming or fantasizing. Think of it more as a highly disciplined form of meditation and concentration rather than some school girl dreaming about the latest teen idol. It’s a mental exercise and an emotional rehearsal in preparation for an upcoming event. That upcoming event is your success.
4: Words, Language and Vocabulary- The words, statements or ideas you speak to yourself and to others are subconscious mirrors that reflect your inner level of certainty and confidence. If that certainty isn’t there yet then you can repeat these words or increase the emotional intensity of their delivery and thus their impact on you. They are called affirmations because they affirm, re-affirm or confirm that a particular state or activity is being created, does exist or is taking place.
5: Regularly Feeding Off Of Success Re-inforcing Materials- Books, tapes, seminars and videos all convey thought energy. If we are open to the ideas they put forth then this can serve to inspire and encourage us. These morsels of thought, emotion and ideas are living, breathing and growing bits of energy that can invigorate us. Although the emotional benefit is momentary and only has a temporary effect on us that doesn’t diminish it’s role in the success model. We have to feed off of or digest this energy on a daily and sometimes an hourly basis to help sustain the momentum of our efforts.
6: Acting As If- Your behavior and actions communicate to your subconscious mind how confident and how serious you are about your success. It shows that you are physically preparing for success to arrive. You can role play in preparation for your success. You can also physically move closer towards your goal as it moves itself closer to you. Your actions will have to be consistent in order to make real progress. This may sound very simple and it is simple to understand. Sometimes it may not be as easy to do on a consistent basis in everyday life even if it is a simple concept to understand. Developing successful habits, rituals and routines are crucial elements of the success model.
7: Associate and Soar With Other Flying Eagles- Interacting with a supportive group of success minded peers can have a powerful effect on you. This group won’t discourage you with dream killing urgings and comments that can drain your energy. They can also give you constructive criticism and correction without derailing your aspirations.
As you walk the path to success on a daily and consistent basis you can thoroughly practice and research the concept of success. Begin treating it like a craft or a skill. Regard your success the same way a champion athlete or a world class performer or artist would regard their professions.

You Cannot Make Money Online In A Few Hours Without PPC, SEO, JV's Or Huge Lists...Or Can You?
I don't want to jump on the band wagon of the get rich quick gurus here. I used the word "money". I didn't use the word "rich". The answer to the question posed above is...yes. But how can you do that? Pull some type of scam or bribery or learn some slick trickery? No it is legit but calm down. It won't make you rich. It will put about $30 to $70 in your pocket in a minimum of two hours. It could take as long as a few days but that depends on how you work the system.
I'm talking about Incentivized Freebie Websites. They are referred to in the industry as IFW's or also just "freebie sites". Once you really learn the ins and outs of working the system you could make anywhere from a few hundred per month up to around 2 or 3 grand per month. Some pros make up to 5 grand per month. After decades of opportunity seeking I try to avoid hype as much as I possibly can. That's why I am covering all spectrums of the freebie rainbow.
What Exactly Are These Freebie Sites?
Most of these sites give away electronics such as iPods and digital products (cameras, game systems, PC's, TVs, etc.) but other things too - designer handbags and clothing accessories for women, golf clubs and accessories for men, gift cards, and best of all, cash.
How Do They Work?
Most sites work like this: You sign up at a freebie site and fill out a "sponsor offer".This is some form of a trial or other offer from a large company such as AOL, Blockbuster, Columbia House, etc. Some offers are free, with others you have to pay a small shipping and handling or other fee. To get the freebie you must refer a number of people to the site who do the same thing. Once you have the required number of referrals you will receive their free gift.
This works because the website running the promotion is paid a commission each time they generate a lead for an advertiser. They might earn $50 each time they refer a new person to AOL even though the user only signed up for a free trial and didn't pay anything at all.
One portal or gateway into the freebie world is a website called Project Payday. It's been around for a few years now. I was introduced to freebie sites back in 2007. The freebie industry has grown and matured somewhat in this short time period but is still in it's infancy and has gone through it's own growing pains. You can feel free to sign up through my referral link here if you would personally like to explore this industry firsthand.
An Overview of IFWs and 3 Ways to Make Money
There are 3 different ways to make money with the Project Payday system. They are all easy to do, and guaranteed to make you money. You can master them all, or just focus on 1 or 2. It's entirely up to you, and how much money you want to make. Before we get into the specifics of the 3 methods for making money with IFWs you will need a quick overview of how these sites work.
Method 1: Get Paid to Complete Offers for Others
Method 2: Get Paid Cash Directly From the IFWs
Method 3: Get Free Products to Keep or Sell on eBay
How Does Method Number 1 Work?
Here's how it works: Visit one of the various "freebie trading" sites to find people who are currently paying for offer completions.Their posts will indicate which sites they are working on, and how much they are willing to pay for your referral. Simply contact them to confirm the deal. Once the deal has been confirmed, follow the referral link they will provide you and then complete a sponsor offer. Receive your payment from them via PayPal. Presto! That's all there is to it!
How Can This Possibly Work, Continue To Work and Be Profitable For The People Paying Out All Of This Money?
This works because of the numbers involved. Let's look at a free Xbox 360 promotion from a popular freebie site at the moment. In the print at the bottom of the page, you may see that it requires you to complete an offer and get 8 referrals. The free premium Xbox 360 has a retail price of $399. Even if the user pays 8 people $25 each they have purchased a brand new Xbox 360 for half price. Everyone wins. This is why people will pay you to complete offers for them. It really does make a lot of sense if you think about it. Ultimately this is all funded by the large advertisers being promoted by these sites. They pay the people running the IFWs each time someone is referred.
The Important Concept of "Greens"
In a nutshell, when a person completes a sponsor offer, that is a "green". The reason it's called this is because almost all IFWs color-code a user's status. When a person first signs up, their status is yellow indicating a "pending" status. They have signed up for the site, but haven't completed the requirements (completing an offer). Once a person completes a sponsor offer and gets credit for doing so, their status will change to green. It's appropriate, because money is made when this happens.
Method 2: Get Paid Cash Directly From the IFWs
Whereas the first method dealt with earning small amounts of money over and over, this method will teach you how to earn larger amounts in the $100 to $1000 range.While there is more work involved, if you keep track of the time you spend using this method you'll find that once again you can easily earn money at the rate of at least $50 per hour of "work" you do. And once again, you can repeat the process over and over.
How Does Method Number 2 Work?
This method is a little more involved than the first method, but it's still very straightforward. It's extremely easy to do, it just takes more work since you're earning more money. Decide which IFW offer you want to work on, based on the offers that are currently available, the amount you want to make, and the "payout per green" amounts. The offers and payouts change, so check out the top sites every now and then so you know which ones have the best offers at any given time.
Signup and complete one sponsor offer to qualify. Refer others using your unique referral link. Once you receive the required number of greens collect your money, then do it again! This method involves more effort, but the rewards justify the extra work and once you get the hang of it it's actually pretty easy.
Many people actually prefer this method because once you really streamline your efforts you can actually make more per hour of "work". There is nothing stopping you from doing this as many times as you want. If you repeated this process just once a week and made an average of $350 each time, that's a cool $1,400 per month. For most people that will have a serious positive effect on their finances!
Why This Method Works - And Has To Work Every Single Time
Well there's not a whole lot to say here - this method works because we are simply taking advantage of the IFWs and their big, deep-pocket advertisers, by approaching their offers with a systematic and methodical gameplan. It's not rocket science. Their business models are dependent on "average Joes". And suffice it to say that they make A LOT of money, otherwise IFWs wouldn't be multiplying and growing like crazy. They know their numbers, and they know that overall they will turn a profit no matter what. Unlike 99.9% of consumers who participate in their promotions, we are simply taking it to another level and earning consistent money from their offers by doing something that your average web surfer just can't do.
Method 3: Get Free Products to Keep or Sell on eBay
This third method is identical to the previous method except that instead of a cash "gift" you will be receiving a free product of your choosing - either to keep or sell for cash.
Why choose to receive a free product when you could simply choose cash instead? There are actually a few situations that can make this option more attractive and profitable. Sometimes the "payout per green" is even more favorable when you choose a free product over cash. For example, a Sony Vaio laptop with a retail price of $1800 might only require 15 greens which works out to a whopping $120 per green. If you needed a new laptop anyway, you'd be much better off taking advantage of that offer versus doing a cash gift offer that might pay only $1200 for 15 greens.The other reason you might use this method is simply to increase your opportunities to make more money. Some IFWs do not always offer cash gift options.
Selling on Ebay
Selling brand new, name brand, and in demand electronics on Ebay is extremely easy. Electronics like digital cameras, gaming consoles, laptops, desktop PCs, iPods, flatscreen TVs, etc. are some of the easiest things to sell on Ebay. Always mention in your ads that you received the product you're selling for free! Many people will be extremely interested to know how you got it for free, and the end result is that you can refer them to IFWs and get even more greens.
Definitely setup your "About Me" page as an Ebay seller so people can learn more about you, and more importantly, learn more about how you are getting these products for free. Tell them about IFWs and include your referral links.
Well that's about it peeps. Check out Project Payday and give it a go and see if this thing might be workable for you. It's Kev The Cash Flow DJ and I'm out. Peace!

7 Quick Steps To Explode Your Business With Twitter
Twitter is the hottest phenomenon right now in Web 2.0 and on the Internet in general right now. If you are unfamiliar with this service it is merely an online communication tool similar to text messaging on cell phones. It caught on like wildfire and has exploded into pop culture from Wall Street to Main Street and was even instrumental in the 2008 presidential election.
So how can you use this resource to explode your business? This quick discussion will focus primarily on affiliate marketing, network marketing and Internet marketing.
Step One is to set up your website or landing page that all your Twitter visitors will be funneled to. This is important because you want to provide value to your visitors and make their visit worthwhile. You can have a free course, a free report, a free evaluation, some samples of your work, some great articles, some great information or something that will grab their attention.
Step Two is to find the Twitter profiles of the top people and leaders in your industry. These people will usually have thousands of followers. When you follow them a certain percentage of these people will follow you back. You can get several hundred followers immediately after doing this or at least within 24 to 48 hours after following a respected leader in your chosen niche or industry.
Step Three is to grow your list. This will continue upon your initial quick burst of followers. You just repeat this process to grow your list. Market and promote your Twitter profile in your signature file or resource box all over the Internet. A good place to do this is on forums. You can also put your Twitter link in your resource box on articles. You can also put your link on your blogs and websites.
Step Four is to clean out your list of followers. Be aware that Twitter puts a cap on how large you can grow your list. The limit is 2000 followers. Give the people you are following about two weeks or so to follow you back. If they don’t return the favor within that time you can’t waste your follow space on inactive or non-responsive followers. Just unfollow them and repeat the process with more Twitterers in your targeted niche.
Step Five is to drive traffic to your website by interacting with other Twitterers. Don’t say something like “Hey come to my website and buy stuff!”. This process is methodical but simple. Just tweet about what you are working on throughout your day. Alternate that with social tweeting about your family, pets, hobbies, funny stories ,etc. Alternate also with replies to specific individuals about their tweets and comments about non-business topics and business related topics. This will show you as a real person and build relationships with prospects and future clients and customers.
Step 6 is not to get banned from Twitter. Don’t spam people your sales link in private messages. Don’t spam your sales link or affiliate links in your tweets. Don’t mislead or trick people into clicking sale links.
Step 7 is to rinse and repeat this process. Get a schedule for your tweets. Stick to this schedule for your business and information tweets. A schedule is good but not necessary for your social and non-business tweets as well. This helps to build up relationships with your tweeters and presents you as a likeable and respected person as well as an expert and a professional in your field and industry.
There is much more to marketing on Twitter as well as other social networking sites. I’ll be posting more info on this and other methods. Stay tuned for more helpful tips and tricks. It's Kev The Cash Flow DJ and I'm out. Peace!

Hey what's up guys? It's Kev back on Monday for some inspirational self development to help us all build, rebuild or maintain The Winner's Mentality.
I just heard a very inspiring podcast today over at Chuck Bartok's Focus Society on Talk Shoe that you may want to check out. You can go here to listen. I do want to offer a few thoughts on their consideration and discussion of Chapter 4 of the book "The Miracle Of Right Thought" by Orison Swett Marden back in 1908.
The principles I will touch on are faith, persistence and action. The author Mr. Marden used the example of a ship on the ocean in a storm or dark dense fog. Faith is like the compass in dark or foggy seas. As long as the crew or captain have their compass they can use that to guide them as they go through the sea toward their destination. The storm waves may bash and crash against the ship but if they maintain laser focus on that compass they will go straight to their destination.
I am not a sailor so I haven't been on the high seas sailing in storms. The author said he had personal experience on stormy seas. I kinda pictured the stormy ship scene in the film "Forrest Gump". I'm a movie fan and some of you may remember that scene from the film. Faith is the compass on stormy seas. It's scary and dangerous but you have to keep your hands firm on the tiller during this type of weather.
You sailors may know what a tiller is. I guess it's the wheel. At any rate the scene he described and the analogy he used were inspiring to me. Chuck then asked "When is the best time to act?" The answer is now. But you want to act quickly and decisively without being rash and impetuous. Do you have a successfully proven plan, a strategy as some type of foundation? You need the step by step plan and more importantly time lines and deadlines on when step 1 begins, step 2 and so on.
What if your plan doesn't work or you run into some problems and difficulties. If the plan has been proven you just keep following the steps. You just stop, focus and look at the actions you did or did not take and see where the holes, flaws and misjudgements and miscalculations were. You then make the proper corrections and adjustments and begin again.
It may sound a little to simplistic to some. Think about it. Success has always been simple. It just hasn't always been easy. There is a difference. Chuck said you will have one of two outcomes. You can succeed quickly and greatly or you can succeed as you correct, fine tune and adjust any imperfect and raggedy mistakes and errors. This means that failure is not an option. It sounds like a cliche but this just begins to describe the mindset of faith, a plan of action and persistence.
There were more things that they talked about but these were a few of the kernels and some of my reflective thoughts on the principles and concepts they discussed.
Thanks for the visit. It's Kev The Cash Flow DJ. I'm out. Peace!
