NEW ARTICLES IN THE WORKS...


I am in the writing/editing stage of three new tutorials for your Seasilver business. When finished you will be notified in this blog and given the web address. These tutorials
are a direct result of your input and questions. Here are the three articles :(titles may change)

1. "Cause Related Marketing: Fundraising With Seasiver"

2. "How To Select Profitable Keywords & Key Phrases For Your Pay-Per-Click Advertising Programs"

3. "Be A Sifter & A Sorter... NOT A CONVINCER!"


As you read and review the various articles and tutorials with the SuccessWithSeasilver (tm) site, please make note of gaps in the information... or areas which you feel need additional information. Send me a short note pointing out the information you feel needs fleshed out. Your input and feedback is essential to make this the best training and marketing resource on the net. Remember this is a central training resource for your downlines! The better and more comprehensive we are able to make it... the easier it will be for your new distributors to get into a "profit-mode"... and the faster your organization will grow.

YOUR OWN DOMAIN NAME...????


One of the things you will notice when you visit my websites is that they each have their own exclusive domain names. Most of them are "re-directed" domains... meaning that when a visitor clicks on my www.seasilverwellness.com site they actually are being redirected my www.e-comprofits.com site which hosts my own Seasilver marketing site. In that site you will also notice additional links to both the .com & .net versions of my 'myseasilver' sites.


Why would I do that?

There are several good reasons to have your own domain name... here are a few:


CREDIBILITY: Your business will appear more credible with your own domain name. No long extensions to confuse the buyer.

MULTIPLE PATHWAYS IN SEARCH ENGINES: If you are involved in online or internet based marketing methods you can open multiple pathways to your sites by using different url's (domain names) to your various marketing sites... both the .com & .net versions of your 'myseasilver sites. By registering these domains with all the search engines & directories on the net you open up more than one way for a visitor to find you... and your marketing websites. That means more leads, and faster growth for your Seasilver business.


Here is my favorite source for low-cost domains: http://www.000domains.com . They are a fully approved ICANN domain registrar, have a very robust management area which allows you to do your own redirects, set up multiple e-mail address using your domain name, etc. They only charge $13.95 a year to register a new domain and that gives you full access to their free domain management area. I currently have over 100 domains purchased through them. My domains are hosted on their servers and redirected to wherever I want them to go. I have several domains which redirect to my 'myseasilver' urls... and several which go directly to other areas of my Seasilver business... i.e. www.SuccessWithSeasilver.com is redirected to that section of my site at my www.e-comprofits.com domain.


There are two ways to redirect a domain name... straight redirect... or stealth redirect. The straight redirect simply re-routes your visitor immediately to your chosen site and the site name which appears on the "address" portion of your web browser shows the site name where the traffic was re-routed to. Example: If I use a straight redirect of a given domain name to the bizop (.com) 'myseasilver' site... then the browser address field will show the 'myseasilver' domain.


If, on the other hand, I use a "stealth" redirect, the browser address field will continue to show the domain name that was clicked on originally. Example: If your redirected domain name was: SuperDuperSeasilver.com ... then the browser address field would continue to show SuperDuperSeasilver.com no matter where the actual site was hosted.


I am not suggesting here that you need a separate domain to function. You don't! I only point out that it is a viable marketing strategy that you might want to explore for your Seasilver business.

THIS WEEKS CHECK: :-)



Just got my check for last week.... $520.00 !



Remember... Seasilver Works... If You Do!

YOUR FOLLOW-UP, MAIL-OUT PACKAGE:...


Every product sale and/or telephone qualified product or business opportunity inquiry should be sent a follow-up response package by mail. Here is what I recommend that you include in your basic mail-out package:


1- Journey To Foundational Health booklet (28 pg)

1- Audio Cassette--"America's Unbalanced Diet" by Dr. David Friedman

1- Cover letter from you which begins to establish a personal relationship... and asks the customer/lead to take a specific action.

1- MMM Reprint (Money Makers Monthly reprint)

1- Any other inclosure or literature that you feel is an important selling or informational tool.

1- A promotional product (advertising specialty) that has all your contact information... i.e. a refridgerator magnet, note pads, pens, etc.


I mail out these "Profit-Kits" in a Priority Mail flat rate envelope. Give the prospect ample time to receive the package and then do a telephone follow-up. Remember... The Money Is In The Follow-up! Here's a quick tip: You will be able to project your number of new distributor sign-ups over time by knowing how many "Profit-Kits" you have sent. The more kits are in the works... the more distributors you will sign up. My goal is to put out at least 5 new kits per day... more if possible.


Warning: Do Not do cold mailings. Send only to telephone qualified prospects. It is far too expensive to do cold mailings with this kit... besides it just does not work. Let the web sites sift and sort for you and deliver quality leads. You then re-qualify with a quick phone call. On the basis of the results of your qualifying telephone follow-up you decide who gets mailed the kit. Always send the full kit to every retail customer. Much of your re-order strength will be determined by whether or not you mail out the information kit to retail customers.

YOUR ONLINE DISTRIBUTOR SUPPORT TOOLS...



Here are four essential online SuccessWithSeasilver (tm) Team resources:



http://www.SuccessWithSeasilver.com.... this is our prime team training and support site. It contains helpful articles & tutorials, fast start menu, resources, etc. You should plan on visiting this site at least once per week, after your initial comprehensive review, in order to keep up with the latest materials.



http://www.SeasilverDistributors.com ... this site is a national Seasilver Distributor locator site which is listed with all search engines, directories, etc. The marketing strategy here is to list all of our team members in the State that they reside in. This is a free lead generator. Your email and web address will be hotlinked and your full contact information will be listed. Anyone looking for a distributor in your state will see your contact information and have the opportunity to contact you directly.



http://seasilversuccess.blogspot.com ... Our Web Log (or BLOG as it is called) provides a quick and easy way to stay in touch with our entire downline organization quickly and easily. It is a simple log of information listed in chronological order as posted. It allows for the instant distribution of important distributor information to our SuccessWithSeasilver (tm) Team. All distributors should place a short-cut link to this site on their active desktop to allow for fast referral at least once per day. You should share this Blogger address with your entire downline organization and encourage them to access it daily... it is here that you will find the most up-to-date and timely distributor information.



http://admin.myseasilver.com ... This is the "admin" section of your 'MySeasilver" web sites. It is an essential resource of the latest information regarding the use of the 'myseasilver' system to aggressively promote your Seasilver business online. Order the upgraded/advanced version of the site immediately if you are serious about making money with Seasilver. It is an incredible resource that will make you a ton of money if you use it correctly. I strongly suggest you remove-disable the "flash" intros to both your .com (bizop) and your .net (retail product) versions to maximize your lead generation. Also, do not forget to add your toll free number ( if you have one), and activate your distributor status in the CONFIG section of the admin page. Once you have the upgraded version... and the configuration set properly to insure the lead capture page and the order page are operational... you should order one or more units of "dirt cheap leads"... and then set-up a minimum of three Pay-Per-Click (PPC's) to drive quality traffic to your web sites. Let the web sites to the sifting and sorting for you...and you follow-up with enthusiastic and motivated people who have requested more information.

This is truly a sales nirvana... it is a home-based business on Auto-Pilot.

LABEL YOUR PRODUCT AND LITERATURE: Never hand out any literature or product without a label on the item which shows your name, address, phone/fax/email, and web site addresses. This also goes for audio tapes. Tapes especially tend to be passed around to other family members, neighbors, business associates, church members, etc. Make sure your I.D. in on everything with a command to action...."For additional Free Info Contact:"

Aloha...

PROTECT YOUR RETAIL ACCOUNTS... by calling in the contact information of everyone that you sell retail product to, to the Home Office--1-800-299-8256. Tell the order desk operator that you want to list your retail accounts on the computer. This will protect your accounts and put them into your retail downline as their ordering sponsor.

Should that retail customer ever decide to call the Company directly to place an order the commission will automatically be paid to you as their registered sponsor. Remember, the companies toll free number is listed on all the literature and on the product itself. It is very possible, that when re-order time comes around, that the customer will simply pick up the phone and call the toll free number that is listed on the product. Make sure you have protected your commissions by having the company add your retail customers to the database with YOU as their sponsor.

Well, I have embarked on a new adventure... blogging. This communications tool will allow me to post helpful information, ideas, tips, resources, and the very latest information available to our SuccessWithSeasilver (tm) Team. Instead of the usual problems with email... i.e. filtering, spam, etc., now you will have available a web based communications resource to receive the very latest business building ideas and tools.

You should plan on stopping by here at least daily. You may want to put a short-cut to this site on your desk top (right click--select "create shortcut"--and click) in order to making accessing this Blog easy and simple.

Make sure you pass this Blog site url on to your downlines so that they too may benefit from the timely information posted here.

This Blog will not replace the other essential information resources you already have... i.e. 'myseasilver admin', successwithseasilver.com, etc. It will enhance and add-to those important resources, and allow me to quickly pass on information about your Seasilver business which will help you boost your profits, save you time and money, give you new and important marketing tools, information on exclusive advertising coops, etc.

Please note that this is a one-way communications tool... not a discussion list.

Warmest Aloha... Thom Reece
