Hi Everyone,
Pay-Per-Click marketing on Google is one of the hottest topics surrounding Internet marketing today. And my guess is that it’s going to become a much bigger method of online marketing going forward. If you intend on surviving online as a network marketer, you’re going to have to master PPC.
Given the opinion that most “Internet Marketers” are not overly familiar with PPC yet, I’ve taken the liberty to suggest my Top 3 PPC bloggers that you may want to check out. So without further blabbing outta me:
1) Andrew Goodman’s Blog: http://www.traffick.com
Andrew is a discerning educator in the area of PPC. In addition to his timely, well-detailed blogs, he inserts his own sense of humor that surprises you during a seemingly mundane topic and/or paragraph. Good show Andrew! Andrew’s target market seems to be Large to Enterprise-sized organizations, but I really learn a lot from his in-depth insights.
2) Brad Geddes’ Blog: http://ewhisper.net
Brad Geddes writes this blog and has his site jammed full of helpful articles. At times the site can be a little heavy on the advertising, but who among us hasn’t been guilty of this previously? ;-)
Overall, I think Brad writes insightful content, on topics/functionality less traveled than other bloggers in the PPC arena. Just one well-intentioned suggestion Brad? Readers don’t really get a flavor of you as a person. Brad, maybe lighten up the intensity of your writing just a touch? All in all, an extremely resourceful website.
3) PPC Advice: http://www.ppc-advice.com
This blog is written by Garry Przyklenk. I consider this a “working man’s” site on PPC how-to. Garry keeps it real-world in his blogs and doesn’t seem to veer off into theoretical pontification, which there’s already plenty of, if you ask me. You can tell that he’s been doing this for a while and he aims to help his readers avoid certain pitfalls that may, or may not have, robbed his personal bank account at one time in the past. Outstanding job Garry. The only thing I’d change about your site is to add more blogs. Your content is so helpful, I’d love to see you posting more often. :-)
Well Gang, there you have it. If you really are serious about becoming a successful Internet Network Marketer, you simply have to take time and follow folks like these and EDUCATE yourself on an on-going basis concerning topics like PPC.

Hi Folks,
I just wanted to take a few moments and express my overwhelming attraction to the network marketing industry. After a career, 1 1/2 decades long in “Corporate America,” I can’t believe the differences in philosophies.
In Corporate America everyone stays to themselves, covers their own ass, and does only what they HAVE to do, in order to keep their manager off their back. There’s a severe lack of training & support, and positive feedback is almost non-existent. Most organizations celebrate huge victories by saying, “Nice work…, but what have you done lately?” ”Do more with less and do it faster, with higher quality.”
Corporate America is just such a pressure cooker, but it’s really hard to see that until you’ve been out of it for a while. It’s almost like you end up with “battered worker” syndrome.
I was fortunate enough to be forced out of Corporate America via a layoff at the I.T. Services company I was working for. And let me tell you, I was terrified when that happened.
But through a wonderous act of the Universe, a new friend introduced me to network marketing. I had never taken a look at the industry, so I knew nothing about it, other than I hated when people from Amway would approach me at the gas station or grocery store and try to tell me that they could make me rich, before climbing back into their clunker car and driving off.
But after doing my own serious research on the specific opportunity my friend was bringing me, it only took a couple of weeks for me to notice some massive differences between my previous career and my new chosen path to success.
- Everyone I met in my new business venture in network marketing were incredible people. They were always there for me when I had questions and they made sure I was trained more than enough to make me comfortable going forward.
- Folks that I met were emotionally solid and seemed to thrive on personal growth, something very dear to me!
- The structure of network marketing ensures that people above you treat you with success, give you encouragement and reward your efforts with needed positive feedback. When I do well, the people above and below me benefit. Now that is the perfect structure if you ask me. It’s called fair!
- The more successful I became, the more I was rewarded financially. I directly controlled my own success, and I loved that fact. I came from a business where I could bust my ass to the point of mental breakdown and then someone else, completely out of my control, brought all of my efforts tumbling to the ground through carelessness. Sometimes even worse, ruining my business relationship with a customer that I may have spent months building. Very frustrating.
If you’re considering a career in network marketing, I can’t encourage you enough! The only caveat I will place on that endorsement is that you need to work with an up-line that understands cutting-edge technology and knows how to correctly apply it to network marketing. The future is the Internet…you know that right? You don’t want to be approaching people at a gas station or a grocery store, do you?

Hi Y’all,
So are you considering joining a network marketing company and becoming a true home-based entrepreneur?
Well, I think you’re spot on! I mean what other industry that you know of let’s you make an initial investment somewhere between $500-$1000 and start a legitimate business that has the opportunity to go global and earn you millions? The answer, none.
I think that the growth in network marketing is only really just started. And there are so many quality companies out there to choose from. But before you think I’m ga-ga over network marketing, let me explain one hang up I have that should be a deal breaker for you, if you encounter it.
While the business aspects of network marketing, (for example distribution, cost of goods sold, etc,) make great sense for the company itself, the way in which most companies teach you to build your business is an absolute laughing stock!
If the company or distributor you’re thinking of joining tells you that the way you make your money is by building a list of friends/family/business associates to hassle about joining you, you’d better RUN right now! That’s the most archaic way to approach this business and the fastest way to keep friends and family from wanting anything to do with you. Do you honestly think that trying to sell to people who are not interested in your message is the way to long-term marketing success? You can’t be serious. And don’t even get me started on “Home Parties” or “Hotel Meetings!” These are all the fossilized techniques from yesteryear of network marketing.
Today’s true entrepreneurs have moved their network marketing companies on to the Internet to reach a far broader audience and to take advantage of technological automations for their sales funnels. And if you’re using technology correctly, then your message is perfectly targeted at an audience who’s already receptive and actively searching information about it right now. If you’re doing things correctly, qualified and interested prospects are calling you to ask how they can join!
If you’d like some tailored, specific and FREE training on how to do network marketing the NEW way, just fill out the little opt-in box next to my video for the 7-Day Internet Mastermind Training Series. Seriously, before you spend any money on a “great opportunity,” take a week and learn how the folks who are at the top of every network marketing organization are REALLY getting their results.
Until my next post, I wish you all health & wealth!
