Global Resorts Network vs EDC Gold, Passport to Wealth, Carbon Copy Pro

I have now been a GRN rep for a year and a half. In my first year I earned well over 6 figures and continue to make 30k a month online. This company has changed my life. I used to promote companies like EDC Gold, Passport to Wealth, Carbon Copy Pro, and programs that did not have real products.

Sure they claimed they had a product and they gave you access to a collection of outdated software and e-books that can be had anywhere on the internet for free. In fact 80% of these companies all use the exact same collection.

The reason most people don’t have a problem with this is because plain and simple the sales are being made to people who are only looking at the company as a way to make money and not on a product level.

What most people don’t realize if you product stinks you are reducing your market. You can only market to business builders. There are a lot of people looking to build a business but there are tons of people looking to sell there business as well. So why not sell something with a real product, which appeals to the masses.

This and many other reasons is why I left EDC Gold and moved to Global Resorts Network. I have never looked back and have been very successful and I feel good about the product I am promoting.

I have sold tons of memberships to people on a product only level. In all my time with EDC I never found one person that was excited to buy $1,000 worth of crappy software. With GRN our members save thousands on every vacation they take for the rest of their lives. So just using the product will allow a person to recoup their investment in just a couple of trips.

I have sold memberships to people who own $20k and $30k timeshares, that are amazed at what our members have access to for the measly $3k. Most are trying to sell their timeshares and are finding they aren’t worth the paper the deed is printed on.

The bottom line is EDC Gold, Passport to Wealth, Carbon Copy Pro, ETC just don’t have the extreme vale that Global Resorts Network has. Nor do they have as large of a market.

I personally and many other have said GRN is the best business opportunity out, there is no equal or comparable product and comp plan out there.

With so many choices out there for Online Businesses, we thought why not raise the bar and get rid of 95% of your choices. To do this all we did was raise the ethics bar in the Home Business Arena. We developed a short list of items that you need to look at before joining a home based business opportunity. When dealing with the List of Home Based Businesses, you should be aware that most of them hold around a 90% + failure rate. Use our list and hold them accountable.

The product + infrastructure must support a high percentage of new people entering the business opportunity. You need to be looking for a product that pays between $ 500 to $ 1000 on the lowest tier. This is to cover marketing costs and keep you from harassing your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. The old way of Network Marketing is dead. Do not be fooled by those who say it is easier to find someone at $ 100 than it is for $ 500. This is not true.

You will need to find out, How long will it take to start making money? If you do not start making money soon then your belief level and your motivation will fade and you will probably quit. This is the most common scenario with any Home Based Business person. If the money does not come in quickly enough to keep them in the game, you will start to lose people in your organization

Evaluate the person bringing you aboard the opportunity. If they have not developed a training system, then find the person above him that has a formal training program. If you find that the company has the training plan.. run away… do not join. Company training plans are inadequate and most of the time, do not hit the mark. That is why someone down from the company level should have the vision to create a training program and have the ability to teach you great things.

There must be a method of assisting you in setting up a budget and tracking your finances. Good luck in finding this. What a shame.

Most opportunities teach old techniques to grow Home Businesses due to the fact that they do not know any better. It’s a travesty. Make sure you research this before joining. Dig in and find out what resources are available. This nugget alone will reduce your list of home based businesses by over 80%.

Training system should meet the following: Webinars, Teleconferences, Video presentations, Live Work Shops and 1 on 1 instruction. This training needs to be above and beyond what the company offers. The sad fact is most of these opportunities do not offer this.

The opportunity must have global resources for you to tap into. The World is at our finger tips and it is getting smaller every day. 99.9% of the Network Marketers and Companies are clueless in this matter. In order to reach Financial Freedom, you will need this resource.

What are the Global Resources available to grow your business? Do not be disappointed if they say, “well we target the United States…”. If this comes up….RUN AWAY. If you can find an organization that has these resources in place you have found a Diamond.

How much time and money does the leader and others spend learning new strategies from outside the company? The answer to this question should be in excess of $ 20,000 per year. This is a true sign of a professional Organization.

Simple and straight to the point: How many people succeed and how many people fail? What are you doing to increase success rates?

Doing the proper due diligence will give you a better chance at success. If the opportunity is a good one you will know during the questioning. Take action and become Financially Free.

Only you can decide to take action and change your financial situation, so take action and find the right opportunity. Your family deserves it.

Home Based businesses just got easier. A new group of professional has just enter the fray and it will prove to be revolutionary. Using cutting edge technology and the ability to reach thousands will set the new apart from the old. Even the multi-millionaires are embracing this technology as viable means to build wealth. Develop your list of home based businesses to your advantage and make it happen. You can attain financial freedom, it is a choice.

Ann’s report certainly has stirred up some hot responses across the MLM world. Some are angry, others are enthusiastic. Her biggest supporters are those who are unhappy with their progress in their network marketing business.

Hands up if you are struggling with your MLM business? - You are not alone! Look at these startling statistics:

- Around 90% of distributors will quit their new business in the first 3 months, usually because they are finding it too difficult and expensive.

- More than 95% will quit within the first 12 months.

- Even more worrying, around 80% never sponsor a single new recruit into their business. Most of the others sponsor one or two people who quickly drop out.

If you find these figures worrying, then you are right to feel that way! Ann Sieg has blown the lid off facts that many experienced MLMers have suspected, but have been afraid to face up to. She exposes all of the ‘lies’ that are passed down from our uplines about how to grow a successful network marketing business.

Network marketing can be the best way to achieve financial success and independence for many people. And yet, as the statistics show, the great majority fall at the first obstacle. Why? Mainly because we are still being handed down methods that went out of date five or ten years ago.

Online business directories are becoming a useful tool for people around the world. A Business Directory is normally published free of charge for users. Businesses get a free listing which is usually a name, address and phone number. If they want more information displayed they have to pay a fee. The World Wide Web is where many people are turning to find all sorts of different information. Now online directories are just another useful portal where people are directed to information on the internet.

Small and Large businesses are benefiting from increased internet exposure to potential clients with these directory services. Businesses and householders can now ask for a private number which means that their number is no longer listed. This has the advantage of reducing unsolicited calls but can harm the ability of a business to generate sales. For a small yearly or monthly fee, businesses can get advanced advertising to clients through online business directories.

Online directories are useful tools for consumers as they provide instant and accurate information on particular items, services, products and companies. In the old days these were limited and barley used due to the low download speeds and the time it took to find a phone number. Companies are getting new customers by being listed on online business directories. Therefore, the potential for more sales through new customers is vastly improved for companies.

Another great benefit to being listed on an online business directory is that customers who are specifically looking for your products or services will find your company. Many people also use internet directories to enhance the ratings of their websites online. It is important that there is a live web link in your business listing and you focus only on the well known and reputable directories. Listed companies can also become a part of a networking community, where companies can benefit from enhanced business relationships.

There are millions of people searching the internet for businesses, products and services, why would you not take the opportunity to benefit from internet exposure Search engines love inbound links from quality sources but dislike link farms which just sell links. Generally speaking the more inbound links a website has the higher it appears for its search terms. Watch your business grow, as more people are able to find your website, company information, products and services using an online business directory.

Internet Lead Systems for Realtors have been expanding over the last few years and continues to grow. Realtors tired of door knocking and cold-calling has led to the internet becoming the “stomping ground” for many Real Estate Agents. The problem with the internet is the saturation of all these Realtors seeking clients. As most Buyers and Sellers choose to ‘Shop Around” online as more information is available via the internet, Realtors have become frustrated. While may Real Estate Agents continue to struggle finding leads online, some have learned how to capitalize with Buyer and Seller friendly websites that draw leads to them.

Realtors looking to generate more leads will find the tips below useful. Not only will these tips tell you how to get more leads, but they will also help you turn those leads into successful sales!

Get yourself top placements with Google, Yahoo and MSN search engines!

Buyers and Sellers now begin their searches with top search engines so your website needs to rank high! A successful way to do this is with separate websites for Buyers and Sellers. As search criteria is different for Sellers than Buyers, you will need high ranking websites for BOTH!

Offer something free with your website

Don’t make them about you, make them about your clients! A free service such as CMAs where they don’t need to call you. This can be done via an ‘online form’. Sellers don’t want to always give out their contact number but usually have no problem giving out their email address.

Go above and beyond!

Automated emails of new listings are OK, but a nice personal email goes a long way. These “new listing” email programs are a great tool, but without a personal touch they are all the same!

Website must be user friendly.

Sellers searching for a CMA online don’t want to spend time on a Realtors website just to find out they need to compose a long email explaining their home. If they do end up typing a long email about their home, they will likely copy that email and send it to 10 other Realtors in your area. A Seller wants a basic template where they just fill in the fields.

Offer Free tools to your Buyers and Sellers

Most Buyers and Sellers do lots of research before choosing to work with a Realtor. Get the upper edge on your competition by offering a free eBook.

Realtors are often found offering their clients the exact same tools as any other Realtor in their office making the competition fierce. You need to differentiate yourself from the rest and explore your options. The internet has proven itself to be the way of the future for marketing Real Estate Services and with Buyers and Sellers shopping online; you MUST make sure you have a presence on ‘the net’. Having the best negotiating skills is great but if you are the only one that knows this, you will find yourself struggling to make a living in this industry.

So you want to be rich. Great, so does everyone else on this planet. So you want to do it without work…Great so does everyone else on this planet, but this is not a Disney Movie so forget the get rich quick schemes, roll up your sleeves and find a real mentor. A mentor or life coach that has real world experience as a Corporate Executive, Out Sourcing, Building Global teams and experience putting together World Class Training Systems.

I would love to ask them why the failure rate in their organization is greater than 85% or higher for the people they are teaching. It is simple…their system is not a real system. They try to attract people and tell them it is easy, well if were so easy then why are your people failing. Grab a list of Home Based Businesses and put them to through our test.

Wow, I found a system that does everything for me and I make money….RUN AWAY from that system. IT IS A SCAM. You can do better by learning a few ways to market and make money and adjust your methods as you learn more. The system approach usually is developed to put money into an already successful person’s pocket. That system does not want to take the time to help their team, but instead can see more money being made by creating a system and charging you for it.

Sorry to rain on your parade but if you really want to change your life you need to find a mentor that will teach you how to go global. The earth is a small place and for those who know how to penetrate global markets, the money is real nice. The bad news is that out of all the mentors out there less than 1% have these skills. If you truly want Financial Freedom, then begin to build your Wealth Building Machine today. Find a Global Mentor and make your life easier.

One critical step to reaching True Financial Freedom is to map out where your income is going, what expenses can you get rid of, and putting yourself on a budget. There is no magic pill, no get rich quick scheme or magic system that can do this for you. You are the one that will have to commit to this and make it happen. Now the chances of you doing this by yourself is very slim. So find a mentor that can turn you on to a process that will do this for you. Once it is set up, it will do most of number crunching and tracking for you. A system that has won awards and has patents pending on its abilities and the development. Get Your Wealth Building Machine up and running by taking this step.

If putting yourself on a budget, increasing your income and finding a mentor is so important then why are the Gurus that are making this big money not reinvesting this money to raise the success rates of their associates? It is because they are happy with a 95% failure rate. Pure and simple. They make their money and they will tell you that it is your job to make yours. This statement is true on the surface, but by allowing a 95% failure rate these fat cats are just being lazy and not living up to their agreement with assisting you in achieving True Financial Freedom.

Does your mentor have Global Business Contacts? The kind of contacts that allow for outsourcing very important projects for pennies on the dollar? Chances are…no they don’t. If they do, then you are paying over $ 5,000 per month to have access to these individuals. In case you missed it, you must have a global business. Everything is moving to the Global Market. The good news is that you do not have to pay $ 5000 to get this advice as your mentor should teach you all they know. Can you mentor put up a sales letter, squeeze page, optin letter and / or website in 13 languages? Probably not. If you are going to reach True Financial Freedom without working yourself to death, then you need to find a mentor that is willing to teach you the techniques in this paragraph. The a great mentor will teach you how to build your Global Wealth Building Machine. This is the key to reaching True Financial Freedom.

Global Mentors are the new power brokers in personal achievement. The top 1% of these mentors will cut your learning time, give you a solid blue print to success and turn you on to awesome outsourcing companies to assist your journey to True Financial Freedom. If your mentor does not have Global Contracts or Global sites with training for you to use. RUN AWAY. You will be headed for disaster.

You should be looking for a business that you can earn money quickly. No not a get rich quick scheme but getting into business costs money and any business should be up and profitable within a short amount of time. Think of it this way, if I can have you earning money quickly now I have your interest and your attention. You are now excited and you are motivated to earn more. A true Global Mentor will assist you in your journey to True Financial Freedom.

Most people are totally unaware that they can make money simply if they take surveys online. While some pay little, there are some surveys that pay well. If you take a survey, your opinion can earn you money.

Surveys for money have been done for a long time but they are growing in popularity as word is getting out about them. Today, many people need another person’s opinion, gaining insight into an area where there is stress. For instance, if you have gone through a divorce, you could offer input into a survey for cash, making money but also helping another person.

Some of the paid surveys are from manufacturers, retailers, or distributors wanting to know information from a consumer’s standpoint. This might be information about a specific company, product, or service. Regardless, the surveys received are taken seriously and analyzed.

This might be taking a survey for cash specific to a tire store where you purchased tires. The goal here is that the management team may be looking for ways to better the customer service. Therefore, you would have questions specific to the purchase and support provided.

Another survey for cash might be about a general subject such as coffee. With this, you would be asked questions about preferred brands, flavors, beans versus ground, and so on. Again, the information received is compiled and then analyzed, which helps marketers.

Although you will never become wealthy, if you want to make some decent money, you can always do more than one survey at a time. Interestingly, some survey companies will pay well or they might offer you a point reward. For this, you would be able to buy things using the points you have earned for the surveys taken.

Companies getting ready to launch a product or service need information from surveys for them to succeed. This allows you to be paid to take surveys while also making products or services better for consumers. That way, the company can identify potential problems or successes prior to launch.

For companies to succeed, say in the introduction of a new product or service, they need survey information. Just imagine, getting paid to take surveys while also helping a company provide consumers with a better product or service. With the information collected, the downfalls and successes of the company can be identified.

For paid surveys, product test markets are a huge area needing help. For instance, with the information gathered, companies can determined the way in which a new idea or product is doing. With this, the company would have a much better understanding as to how that product is going to be received, meaning success or failure.

In addition, surveys for money are important specific to the economy. Companies that use surveys are learning new strategies for getting ahead of the competition. While it might not seem like a big deal at the time, the outcome can be quite substantial.

Therefore, if you would like to get involved with taking surveys for money, realize you are doing something great for you and the company.

Business directories are specialised, informative and easy-to-use listings of businesses provided in a single compilation. With access to a business directory, consumers and other businesses can easily find out about a particular company offering the services or products they are looking for. Online business directories are even more convenient for the average user.

A few business directories categorise their listings in alphabetical order; so, if you are searching for an electrical equipment manufacturer, the companies belonging to that category will all be listed under the letter ‘E’. But, most business directories list companies under their specific service type, so their classifications fall under terms such as electronics, business services, shopping, cars and automotive, financial & legal services, home appliances, transport etc.

Even business directories have taken to the new trend now, with the majority of directories presenting their listings online for free or for a nominal charge. The online business directories charging a fee for their listings generally offer the same services as a free directory, but the difference is usually dependent on who publishes the directory.

The free online business directories are those which exchange links with their listed companies, which means both parties place a link to direct visitors to each other’s websites. These reciprocal links act as web traffic generators for the directories as well as the businesses. These free business directories make money from the advertisers who sponsor them.

Basic business listings are not the only thing offered by these online business directories. Some even offer dedicated web pages, job advertising and picture galleries for further prominence for a listed business. While these are optional services, any business listed with the directory can make use of this advantageous offers. Most business directories ask for a payment for these additional services, but there are a few which provide everything for no cost.

Submitting a listing to a free online business directory takes only a few minutes. You’ll need to provide company information such as business name, registration number, address, telephone number and email address etc.

These business directories keep the basic information brief and if you need more information about a particular company, you must follow a link to either the web page within the directory or the company’s main website. After your business listing is submitted to a directory, all visitors can easily find it by navigating through the main page index.

The majority of business directories, both online and offline, concentrate on providing business information for those companies within a specific region. As a practice, the regions are based on city, neighbourhood, province, district, state etc. Business directories for the entire country or global versions are quite rare, particularly online.
