Facebooking, blogging, and firing negative people

by Dave

The last few days of my six figure income challenge have involved Facebooking, including:

-Seeking out all of my personal Edge Marketing System referrals and adding them as friends.

-Touching base with potential prospects in FB

-Reviewing all of the “Suggestions” and inviting a lot of them to be friends.

I’ve also done some blogging and sent out an e-mail blast to my list.

The other epiphany I’ve had is to fire negative people. There’s not many in my life, but those few can be LOUD! So I realized I just have to not respond anymore to people that are consistently negative. I allowed just one or two some airtime in my life recently and realized it wasn’t getting me, or them, anywhere.

Was it Charlie “Tremendous” Jones that said that the five years from now you’ll be the exact same person you are now except for the books you read and the people you associate with? Something like that. So I’ve had a strong reminder lately that I need to commit to the positive, motivating ones and cut ties with those that aren’t!

Day 47: Cool Firefox Tools

by Dave

For those of you keeping track of my six figure income challenge, days 45 and 46 were days off. I know, I know, Slight Edge and all that… but we had some fun with the family and I didn’t do a darned thing.

But, Day 47 I did a live training for my group, explaining some of the cool Firefox plugins I use to help me have “X-ray Vision” into the internet and websites in general.

Day 43+44 Video Snafoo, Live Training

by Dave

Days 43 and 44 of my earn six figure income challenge brought some drama. I learned that my vimeo account was going to be shut down. Part of the risk you take when you stick business videos on a non-business site. ;-) Luckily, the vimeo folks were good about it and gave me a week to move my 61 videos somewhere else.

Luckily, all my videos were already elsewhere because I use an amazing free resource called Tubemogul to distribute my videos. So the only purpose for Vimeo is they allow longer than 10 minute clips, unlike youtube etc. So, I had to scramble and find another service, and re-upload a handful of the 61 videos. The service I decided on is pretty cool, check it out here: vzaar. It’s free until you upload a lot of videos, then they start charging you $15 a month or more depending on how big your videos are. Seems like a great service so far, and much better than running the risk of being shut down!

Besides that, did some live training with some direct recruits that contacted me looking for help, did a little Facebooking, Tweeting, etc.

I will keep the focus on training and creating duplication, that’s the key to the whole 30 minutes concept. “Master the mundane!” It makes cash!

Day 41: More e-mail, Blogging, Personal Training

by Dave

Day 41 of my six figure income from home challenge involved another blog post, another e-mail, and some personal training.

I’m working on duplication. There’s nothing like those personal calls to people I have sponsored to ask how they’re doing, give training, and ask them about their goals. My job is to help them achieve their goals. I’m trying to do better at that. As a matter of fact, I only need 4 or 5 players to achieve a six figure income and I’m good!

Day 40 “Keepin it real” with Seth Godin

by Dave

Today for my 30 minutes to a six figure income I did the following:

1. A little Facebooking. And yes, I got distracted and looked through an old friends photos for a while. Dang that Facebook. There’s a fine line between marketing online and wasting time! But, luckily, I tore myself out of memory lane and…

2. In my Facebooking came across a great, one minute clip of Seth Godin, so I created a simple Blog post out of it.

3. Sent the following letter to my list of prospects. You may wonder why I didn’t try to sell them anything. To get the answer to that, maybe you should check out the one minute video on the blog post ;-)

Subject line: Seth Godin’s controversial take on Social Media

Have you heard about Seth Godin? Ultra successful online marketer,
author of Tribes and Linchpin…

If you haven’t, you should. Get a feel for his controversial, but powerful
philosophies in this 1 minute clip (nothing to buy)

Just passing on some great Social Networking mojo!

Enjoy!

Day 36, 37, 38 and 39. Laziness, Coolness, and India.

by Dave

Wow! Jim Rohn was right when he talked about “Easy Things.” They’re easy to do, and easy NOT to do! I went three days in a row without making a 30 day to a six figure income video or blog post. Shame on me, time to get back on track! Meantime, here’s what I have done in the last few days:

-Posted to my blog

-Created an RSS feed on http://edgemarketingblog.com for Edge Marketers to be able to automatically post their entries (great backlinks and free exposure!) If you are an edge marketer and would like to participate, simply send your blogs RSS feed to us and we’ll insert it for you!

-Done a couple of one on one training sessions with new team members

-Interviewed Alex McPhie and created a video of his training. He’s one of the most active social marketers in the Edge Marketing System, and shows us exactly how he got a front page Google listing for the term “edge marketing system.” Very cool training.

-Booked a trip to India. I know, it’s totally irrelevant to the 30 Minutes concept. But hey, it’s so cool, and it’s my first time going to India, that I just had to mention it. ;-)

-I realized I have been listening to the radio too much while I drive my car. Not good. What does Brian Tracy call the radio? “Bubble gum for the mind” I think he said. So I grabbed Jim Rohn’s 2004 Leadership Event (24 CD’s) and started listening to it while I drive. Much better!

Day 35 Payday, And More Automated Signups!

by Dave

Day 35 of my six figure income from home challenge.

First of all, payday happened on day 35, and here’s a shot of my weekly income:

$73.85 this week. Up by 12 bucks. So I have plenty of work cut out for me! Or do I? Actually, I don’t think I do. Rather, a six figure income will come from a large group of people doing a little bit, not from me doing a lot. So I’m going to continue to focus on duplication, training, and helping people in their own marketing. If all I do is create a group of people that just recruits one customer per month each, I’ll achieve my six figure income in about 10 months!

Also, I had 2 more signups from the e-mail I sent out. Check some of the recent e-mail marketing training on days 33 and 34. That’s it for today!
