Homework assignment 4...First launch Notes.

First launch note!!

In order to have a succesful first launch, I want everyone to be made aware of the following

1. You may not get your links immediately...each acct is being hand verified. There may be a turn around time, before you get your link...DO NOT WORRY
2. The cost is $10.00/month and accepts Alertpay and Solid Trust Pay. If you use a credit card, you can use credit card with Alertpay, I have never used Solid Trust, so i do not know speciffically if Credit cards are accepted through STP.
3. When you sign up look to see if the Sponsor ID is "6135", however if sponsor ID is blank, do not worry as admin is aware of our launch, and will take care of the issue.
4. When you get to the payment page, you will have to choices.
a. Sign up for 15 day free trail or
b. Become a full paid member.
I recommend that you become a full paid member.

5. You may have mulitple accounts. ( I recommend that you sign up the first acct during launch, and when you get your link, sign up under that link.)


When we launch and you have signed up for the program, I want you to make 3 posts on the internet.


+++++DO NOT SPAM ANY LINKS THOUGH+++

First post, right in swom on your dashboard page.
Just log in to swom,
click dashboard.
and in the box, post something to the fact that "The Mass Launch group is having it's first launch now" or " I recieved "X' number of new downline members.
(or words to that effect).

Second post, again in swom. on your profile.
Click on profile and make a similar post as to post number 1.

Third post. again in swom, this time right in the group page of the mass swom group.

This will generate both excitement and curiosity about our group and will increae our mebership levels.
Plus you will be interacting with other swom members, (so that those of you who are already gold members will get higher influence ratings)

Of course, you are free to post anywhere else you might be a member of (myspace, facebook, twitter, forum groups etc..)

Your third homework assignment!

Again this is a simple read and understand what is being said!

Here is yet another post from Russ Howe , a leader in the industry on MLM's and the hype of spillover. Again thanks to Russ for providing this information.
As you all can see already Russ knows his stuff.
Don’t worry we will have information from others, but his information is great for putting you in the “right frame of mind”, and that is very important in your online marketing.

I have also edited some of this to reflect our group, here at SWOM.

Spillover: The Myth Exposed

Ah spillover. My least favorite word in all of online marketing. This does more harm than good.

I'm going to say something which you probably have never been told by any sponsor you have ever worked with anywhere else in the world:

Spillover is over-rated and not as good as it is made out to be.

I'm sorry, but it is true and I will prove it to you. This ties in perfectly with patience, PMA and hype. Alongside those, Spillover is the main reason why people fail in MLM. Spillover sounds great in theory; free signups from your upline,

But like with all things in MLM, people automatically then go back into that ancient 'get rich quick' mentality and assume 'Great! Join under somebody good and I don't have to do any work!

This is not true.
As an experienced internet marketer I can tell you I have honestly never seen anybody fill a matrix through spillover. EVER.

Usually all spillover does is make people impatient and want to cancel after a week if they have received no spillover from those above. It's quite rude to contact somebody and demand they give you signups, but this happens frequently. They think they could get more spillover elsewhere and threaten to cancel unless you give them signups instantly and my reply is always the same: Go.

I don't know what makes these guys think you or any other successful sponsor would ever want somebody like that underneath them enough to put up with that kind of demand, so when they go to somebody else the same thing happens. They will continue to struggle until they get past the myth of spillover and start learning how to market for themselves.

Why is spillover over-rated? Allow me to show you....
Let's say you are directly underneath me here in any program. You and some guys are on my level one and I must fill all your matrices for you. That means I need to bring in potentially thousands of people to fill your matrix

Remember, that's only if you are on my level 1.

Given that myself and any other good marketer will not be working alone and will have a team of people directly underneath them then nobody is going to be able to get a spot directly on my level 1, you could be on my level 3, 6, or 9.

I have never seen anybody fill a matrix through spillover. Ever.

All spillover does is make people think 'free money' and it actually helps them to fall into the traps of the mass promoters who rule the GDI leader boards saying things like 'Join me and I will build your downline for you on auto-pilot'. We've all seen those guys, right? LOL.

Here's a fact: Spillover is delivered fairly and is evenly spread. Once you have got a signup through spillover you will not receive another one until everybody else on the same level as you also receives one.

Many people view forced matrix programs as simply a race to get in at the top. The higher you get the better the spillover, right? Wrong, be careful.

What most companies will not tell you is that they have already filled the top levels of their program way before the pre-launch even started, with multiple accounts for the owner and his team, or perhaps top marketers who they wanted to be able to use the name of in their promotions, and dead spare accounts so they can all double their incomes. When you join up you have a slight chance of getting onto level 5-10, not level 1. So already spillover is going to be a disappointment to you but you haven't even been made aware of it. I know this happens because I've been invited to be put into countless companies before the pre-launch stage and have declined every single one because if a company can be this misleading to it's members before it's even started, what hope does it have? What most of these spillover-loving guys and girls don't realize is that they won't be getting the instant spillover they were 'guaranteed' - they ARE the spillover, to the guys at the top.

When people join a program and don't get massive spillover, they simply head off to the next one (there's always another one LOL) and do the exact same thing. And on and on for years. The buzz of thinking 'this one is the best thing ever' gets addictive to some people and they can never stop jumping ship. This is the hardest habit to get out of.

NEVER join any program under anybody who is using spillover as the main reason to join under them - because that is usually the key giveaway sign that they are poor sponsors. A good sponsor would tell you to join them because they are going to help you, not promise silly results which mathematically cannot be delivered. If you are one of those that market this way you are also putting yourself in a very dangerous position - after all, if you're telling people they should join under you because you are under ME or some other top guru, or whoever else and they'll get 'crazy spillover' then why wouldn't this guy just skip you and come directly to us where they could perhaps get a higher spot than they could under you? Sounds like most of the help they'll be getting wouldn't be coming from you anyway, so there's nothing stopping them.. You'll also only attract freeloaders by promising instant spillover.. They will give you their free trial period, or in a few rare cases you'll be lucky enough to get 1 month at the MOST, and when they haven't received the crazy spillover you promised you are at square 1 again and it's your own fault. What did you expect? You lied to them, after all..

Although the Mass Launch Group is designed to give spillover to everyone over time, you will be hurting yourself if you do not do any marketing your self. If you are just “freeloading” and never marketing, you will never learn, and you will not make any real money online.

I credit all my success to not believing hype, not trusting anybody until they have proved themselves to me, having faith and patience in myself and viewing this as a long-term opportunity not a quick venture to get spillover.

Like I said earlier, work at this whenever you can and once you are earning more from this than your present job I'd suggest concentrating on your online opp on a permanent basis.

Proceed to our first launch notes.

2nd Homework assignment

Here is you 2nd homework assignment. Again, it is simply read and understand what is being said.

Here is another post from Russ, a leader in the MLM industry on the "Hype" in MLM's. Thanks to Russ for this information

________________________

Hype is Everywhere!

If you don't know me personally, then you are about to find out that the one thing I hate more than internet guru's is hype. Do not buy into it. It takes a lot to get me interested in a company.

Hype is everywhere in MLM. The saying 'The grass is always greener on the other side' has never been truer than in this industry. There are constantly new companies starting up promising completely insane results, crazy spillover, instant downlines, money for doing nothing.... It is tempting to anyone. I know. I did it.

Because this is the internet, people are always looking for a free ride and this has started a trend of pre-launch frenzies. Rather than find a good company and work with them, people join up to one company in pre-launch and if they don't get 'crazy spillover' they quit after the first month and join the next company in pre-launch full of hope and hype again, thinking this is the next big one. This can get addictive. Again, I have never known anybody who has made any money doing this.

Sticking with this one company (or in our case 2) will be paramount to your success.

You will undoubtedly be offered the chance to join other companies who offer 'superior systems' like I do every day, but if you want to achieve long-term success you must simply look past their hype and stare the facts straight in the face.

Your First "Homework" assignment.

Hello Fellow Team Members...
Here is your first homework assignment.
All you have to do is read and understand this.

I did not write this, but a fellow marketer, and friend wrote this.
Thanks Russ!
___________________________________________________________________


97% of people in MLM fail.
Why?


A lot of the time this comes down to the fact they are simply using a program which is not very good, or one which offers little or no support to its members. This is not the fault of the affiliate, they just haven't found the right program yet.

However, there are a lot of things which affiliate marketers do which can directly cause them to fail – some of which are actually done without even realising it. I've seen plenty of people in good systems who fail to make it. These pitfalls are usually bad habits which we have picked up along our journey, stuff which has never worked for us but we continue making those same old mistakes. This comes down to mental training.



Positive Mental Attitude & Patience

A positive mental attitude & patience. It sounds simple enough, but honestly the MLM industry is FULL of people who lack these and it is wide open to anyone that does posses them, trust me I know!

Some people come into an online business with a defeatist attitude already in place. They are expecting it to be a scam because most online opportunities are, let's face it! However once it is proven to them that it is not a scam and it is is a genuine company who pay out real money, for many there seems to be a stigma attached to 'online opportunities' which makes them think that because it is online they will be able to earn money for doing nothing. I have never known anybody to make money this way, in fact a large portion of the 97% 'failure' rate is down to people doing this very thing. In my opinion, people don't 'fail', people quit.

I highly recommend you treat this as a second job. Work at it whenever you can. Once you are earning enough from this to out-perform your main job, switch your focus entirely and make this your main job.

In any MLM, it is expected to take up to three months to break into profits and begin building your income. This is a transitional period in which you learn the ropes and figure out the type of leader you are going to be. So many people simply give themselves their 'free trial period' to get into profits and if they haven't made it they just quit and say they were scammed. People do not fail in MLM, they usually just quit.

When people join a new program they are brimming with hype, expectation and positivity but the MLM industry is the absolute worst I have ever seen for watching how quickly people lose faith in themselves. Everybody goes through a rough patch. No business starts with a bang then just keeps getting better. However in this industry it seems as if somebody who doesn't get a signup for longer than a week starts wanting to quit or blames their upline for not providing spillover. It's absurd to think people want 100% results, 100% of the time (usually for 10% effort). From my experience, the people who do this are normally the kind that want to get instant results for as little effort as they can, so I want to make sure none of you fall into this trap because it NEVER works out for them. Usually, a month is enough time to get past all the hype and excitement of a new company and see how somebody genuinely feels about it.

Patience is a very, very important factor in MLM. In fact it's possibly the most important thing. Rather than stressing every time you don't get a signup in a few days you need to keep faith in yourself. If you believe in the company you will succeed. If you don't believe In a company it will show in your advertising and videos in particular and you'll be crippling your own chances. Nothing is achieved overnight. This will be a mental test like nothing you've tried before.
