PPC Domination Secret Revealed
One of network marketing's top guru's has just opened his hidden vault, and revealed why his success took MLM by storm. From waiting tables to 7 figures in 18 months, he set a ground breaking pace that brought massive accolades and prestige. This came from a hungry crowd of frustrated network marketers, who have being trying to find the PPC Domination secret for years and left them asking just one question. How did he do it? Here is his story:
His name is Mike Dillard. He is a MLM sponsoring and lead generation coach with over 300,000 students in 65 different countries. Many of his students generate hundreds—sometimes even thousands—of leads per WEEK using his methods of PPC Domination. And even his smaller websites get more traffic and leads than most of the major MLM company sites combined.
Anyway, here's why this is important for you:
A few months ago at a live event, a friend walked over and asked him what method of advertising he would use if he were to start all over from scratch again.Well the answer he gave was simple… he wouldn't start with SEO, social media sites, or magazine ads... he would start with Pay-Per-Click.
That was his first choice years ago, and it’s still how he personally generates 100’s of leads every single day online. In fact, it’s the only method of advertising he used to become the #2 distributor in his company in less than 4 months.
ALL of the leads he generated came straight from Google Adwords. And you can do the same, even if you’re on a budget. (Most people think Adwords is expensive, but they’re wrong). When you use his method, you’ll actually make a profit every single time you produce a new lead. He’ll show you how in just a second, but first, I need to give you a warning…
The majority of people who use Google Adwords, end up paying a hefty “Stupid tax”, which basically means, that if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re going to pay for your mistakes in a big way.You see, pay-per-click, or Google Adwords is actually really simple to use, and the single most effective method of advertising in the entire world. You don’t need to be a computer wizard to generate 100’s of leads every single day like he does. You just need someone to show you exactly how to use it.
Fortunately, he had a secret weapon on his side named Jim Yaghi. Jim is Mike Dillard's in-house PPC expert at Magnetic Sponsoring. He brought him onto his team about six months ago, so he could take some time off and do a bit of travelling. It was a great decision, because Jim turned out to be genius at pay-per-click.
Together, Jim Yaghi and Mike Dillard have mastered pay-per-click, and on a typical day, they produce over 150 leads per day for their business. But here’s the real kicker...
Most people spend anywhere from $1.00 to $10.00 for every lead they produce. Well Jim and Mike make a profit of $4.45 with every single lead they get. That means after they pay the Google bill, their still putting $4.45 in their pocket every single time they produce a lead.
That's $667.00 per day, which is $20,016.00/Mo... AND 4,500 new leads for their business. That's PPC Domination! That means that their actually getting paid to produce leads for their business, and if you want to learn how to do the same, today’s your chance…
A few months ago, Mike Dillard presented Jim Yaghi with an unusual idea. I asked him, "Jim, why don't you create an Google AdWords video course for the average network marketer, who has never used pay-per-click ads or who struggles with it now?" Long story short... Jim agreed and (for a limited time) it's available to the public.
He calls it: "PPC Domination"

Top 12 Email Deliverability Tips
Have you ever been frustrated by sent emails being returned? All of that precious marketing time you wasted could have been avoided by keeping up with stringent email rules and regulations. Take some time to learn the facts, and make your marketing efforts count.
Ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to subscriber inboxes is an increasingly difficult battle in the age of spam filtering. Open and click thru response rates can be dramatically affected by as much as 20-30% due to incorrect spam filter classification. Here are the top 8 email deliverability tips:
Permission
Confirming that the people who ask for your information have actually requested to be on your list is the number one step in the battle for deliverability. You should be using a process called confirmed opt-in or verified opt-in to send a unique link to the attempted subscriber when they request information. Before adding the person to your list they must click that unique link verifying that they are indeed the same person that owns the email address and requested to subscribe.
Subscriber Addresses
When requesting website visitors to opt-in ask for their “real” or “primary” email address instead of a free email address like Yahoo or Hotmail. Free emails tend to be throw away accounts and typically have a shorter lifetime than a primary ISP address.
List Maintenance
Always promptly remove undeliverable addresses that bounce when sending email to them. An address that bounces with a permanent error 2-3 times in a 30 day period should be removed from the list. ISP’s track what percentage of your newsletters bounce and will block them if you attempt to continually deliver messages to closed subscriber mailboxes.
Message Format
Usage of HTML messages to allow for text formatting, multiple columns, images, and brand recognition is growing in popularity and is widely supported by most email client software. Most spam is also HTML formatted and thus differentiating between requested email and spam HTML messages can be difficult. A 2004 study by AWeber .com shows that plain text messages are undeliverable 1.15% of the time and HTML only messages were undeliverable 2.3%. If sending HTML it is important to always send a plain text alternative message, also called text/HTML multi-part mime format.
Content
Many ISP’s filter based on the content that appears within the message text.
Website URL:
Research potential newsletter advertisers before allowing them to place ads in your newsletter issues. If they have used their website URL to send spam, just having their URL appear in your newsletter could cause the entire message to be filtered.
Words/phrases:
Choose your language carefully when crafting messages. Avoid hot button topics often found in spam such as medication, mortgages, making money, and pornography. If you do need to use words that might be filtered, don’t attempt to obfuscate words with extra characters or odd spelling, you’ll just make your messages appear more spam like.
Images:
Avoid creating messages that are entirely images. Use images sparingly, if at all. Commonly used open rate tracking technology uses images to calculate opens. You may choose to disable open rate tracking to avoid being filtered based on image content.
Attachments:
With viruses running rampant and spreading thru the usage of malicious email attachments many users are wary of attached documents. It’s often better to link to files via a website URL to reduce recipient fear of attachments and reduce the overall message size.
CAN-SPAM Compliance
The January 2004 Federal CAN-SPAM law introduced a number of rules regarding the delivery of email. It’s important you have your legal counsel review your practices and ensure you are in compliance. The two most important rules include having a valid postal mail address listed in all commercial messages and a working unsubscribe link that is promptly honored to remove the subscriber from future messages.
Reputation
Reputation services are often used by large ISP’s as a way to vet email senders regarding their email practices and policies. Businesses listed with these services are then given less stringent filtering or no filtering at all. Several reputation services are:
•http://www.isipp.com/iadb.php
•http://www.bondedsender.com
•http://www.habeas.com
Relationships & Whitelisting
Contact with major ISP’s and email providers is essential in letting them know about your requested subscriber email. Many large providers such as AOL and Yahoo have specific whitelisting programs and postmaster website areas to ensure your email is delivered as long as you meet their policies and procedures in handling your opt-in list.
Email deliverability is about ensuring requested opt-in email is delivered to the intended recipient. While no single tip will enable you to get 100% of your email delivered each one utilized as a group can go a long way to reaching that goal.

Top 5 Confirmed Opt-in Myths Exposed
Confirmed opt-in as defined by SpamHaus, who is one of the most respected anti spam organizations in the world:
Known as “COI” in the legitimate bulk email industry, also known as “Confirmed Opt-in”, “Verified Opt-in” or sometimes “Double Opt-in”. With Closed-Loop Opt-in the Recipient has verifiably confirmed permission for the address to be included on the specific mailing list, by confirming (responding to) the list subscription request verification. This is the standard practice for all responsible Internet mailing lists, it ensures users are properly subscribed, from a working address, and with the address owner’s consent. In the event of “spam” accusation:
The Bulk Email Sender is fully and legally protected because the reply to the Subscription Confirmation Request received back from the recipient proves that the recipient did in fact opt-in and grant verifiable consent for the mailings. Source: SpamHaus Website
Numerous myths have circulated regarding confirmed opt-in and its effects. There are many misconceptions out there, and we'd like to help clear those up. Here are the top 5 opt-in myths:
Some addresses entered into your form will not confirm — that much is true. The percentage of addresses that don’t confirm depends on many factors, including the quality of your traffic and how effective your thank-you page, confirmation message and incentive for confirming are.
Percentages aside, there are compelling reasons that having fewer addresses on your list is a good thing. Sometimes less is better.I know. You may be asking, “How can a decreased list size be a good thing?” Well, let’s consider: 5-20% of all web form submissions are undeliverable right off the bat.This means that of your total list size you can cut that by 5-20% because these email addresses are simply dead. Remember these are not temporary undeliverable but permanent dead addresses.
Now, add on the bogus and malicious sign ups that undoubtedly will happen. For example, someone comes to your website and decides to put in bob@aol.com. Well, bob@aol.com was once a real email address and because you were not using confirmed opt-in you are now classified as an unintentional spammer.
A recent study by MarketingSherpa and KnowledgeStorm found that only 68% of users always enter a valid email address. So, nearly a third of respondents knowingly enter bogus email addresses. ISPs do not differentiate between unintentional spammers or actual spammers. The potential for you to be blocked or even worse, blacklisted, remains the same.
My Mailing List Is Different! I Don’t Need Confirmed Opt-In
Let’s be clear, confirmed opt-in is for all businesses, plain and simple. Anyone collecting subscribers and in turn sending email needs to confirm that those people intended to sign up to your mailing list and want to receive your email. In this age of email regulations and massive volumes of spam email, deliverability can be an issue. Why increase your chances of not getting delivered by putting yourself at risk.
No One Else Uses Confirmed Opt-In. Why Should I?
This is simply not accurate. Our own campaigns here at AWeber use confirmed opt-in for all email marketing activities. When someone signs up for a Test Drive of AWeber, they must confirm. After setting up an account, if they want to receive our customer training email course, they must confirm. The same goes for our affiliates and their email training. Even when someone subscribes to our blog, they must confirm. Ok, but AWeber must practice what they preach, who else?
If you want to sign up for the mailing lists of these organizations you will need to first confirm:
CNN Microsoft, Oprah, CNet bellagio.com, IRS.gov weather.com, ign.com maxim.com,
tgifridays.com, olivegarden.com, pbs.org, visitpa.com, Whitehouse.gov, The list goes on and on!
Subscribers In My Market Don’t Know How To Confirm
The simple solution is to tell them. The first page after someone fills in an opt-in form, commonly called a “thank you page” should tell the visitor exactly what to do next. Often this is done most effectively with a picture showing visitors what the confirmation email will look like.One variation of this myth is:
“Subscribers in my market don’t know how to click an email link.”Honestly, if they can’t click a link then you probably should be marketing your business offline. If someone can find your website online I guarantee they can click a link.
My Sales Will Decrease Because Of Confirmed Opt-In
Have you tested this assumption? The answer is always, “No, but I just assume” or “No, my colleague told me it would hurt sales”. It’s best not to assume anything, but rather to seek out your own answers by testing and observing your own campaigns. We have found from our own testing that while the raw number of email addresses on our list declined when we switched to confirmed opt-in, sales did not.This means that the people who did confirm were the ones that truly wanted the information that they had to offer and the ones that didn’t were not left to bloat the mailing list.
Grow Your Business Without Risk
Will your results be exactly the same as AWeber or even anyone else? This can only be determined by proper testing and measuring.Use confirmed opt-in as an opportunity to make sure that your lists are 100% clean and that you know without a doubt that 100% of the people receiving your mail have specifically requested it themselves.Spend your time and energy building your business with subscribers who want to hear from you rather than dealing with issues created by people who don’t want to hear from you.

The simple solution is to tell them. The first page after someone fills in an opt-in form, commonly called a “thank you page” should tell the visitor exactly what to do next. Often this is done most effectively with a picture showing visitors what the confirmation email will look like.One variation of this myth is:
“Subscribers in my market don’t know how to click an email link.”Honestly, if they can’t click a link then you probably should be marketing your business offline. If someone can find your website online I guarantee they can click a link.
My Sales Will Decrease Because Of Confirmed Opt-In
Have you tested this assumption? The answer is always, “No, but I just assume” or “No, my colleague told me it would hurt sales”. It’s best not to assume anything, but rather to seek out your own answers by testing and observing your own campaigns. We have found from our own testing that while the raw number of email addresses on our list declined when we switched to confirmed opt-in, sales did not.This means that the people who did confirm were the ones that truly wanted the information that they had to offer and the ones that didn’t were not left to bloat the mailing list.
Grow Your Business Without Risk
Will your results be exactly the same as AWeber or even anyone else? This can only be determined by proper testing and measuring.Use confirmed opt-in as an opportunity to make sure that your lists are 100% clean and that you know without a doubt that 100% of the people receiving your mail have specifically requested it themselves.Spend your time and energy building your business with subscribers who want to hear from you rather than dealing with issues created by people who don’t want to hear from you.

Want Prospects, Don't Make These 7 Mistakes
It's no wonder the network marketing industry has a bad name. But who's to blame? Uplines with their never fail marketing strategies, or the entrepreneur, who is blindly just doing what his upline told him. First, let's take a look at the 7 biggest mistakes when prospecting and the mindset your told to use:
This could be your biggest mistake. Do you have any idea what it's like to be hated by everyone you know? Well, that's exactly what's going to happen when you start shamelessly pitching your opportunity at everyone that comes within 3 ft. of you. Trust me, I've been there. People won't talk to you at work, you won't be invited to parties, and your family jokes about you behind your back.
We Share Products, It's Not Really Sales
Do you believe this load of *****. Uplines tell people this in a brainwashing attempt to motivate them. There's no pressure, because you're not really selling anything, your sharing. Well let me tell you something, if your offering a product or service to someone in exchange for money, IT'S SALES!
Anyone Can Do This
This is the biggest con in network marketing history. Yes anyone can implement the marketing strategies your upline gives you, but they don't work, and you won't make any money. Why do they use them? Because it's the only way they can get the average person with no marketing skills into the business, giving companies a higher sign-up total.
We'll Build Your Business For You
Everyone gets scammed on this one. It's always a honeymoon when you start, with big promises and commitment, but in no time they have run off with a new prospect, just to start the process all over again. This is the reason you have to learn marketing skills, trust no one.
Are Products Are The Best In The World
Do you know if it's the best product in the world. But you're going to go around and tell everyone it is, aren't you. This is your reputation on the line, how foolish are you going to feel when family and friends don't agree with you. But your upline has you here, because you don't have time to do your own independent research.
It Will Work, If You Have Enough Belief
This is used when you've done all the wonderful prospecting methods your upline gave you, and you've got zilch, no prospects, and no money. In fact your losing money, paying that mandatory monthly website fee and product order. In fact it's your fault your not successful, you just have to believe a little harder.
We Have A Proven System
No they don't, in fact the most successful people in network marketing don't use those prospecting methods at all! The business would never have any new prospects if they knew what it actually takes to be successful in network marketing. Nothing can replace actual marketing skills and knowledge. You will not learn this with any mlm opportunity.
Conclusion
As rough as it sounds, there is some good news. Yes, the average person can learn, and make money in network marketing opportunities, but you must learn marketing skills first. Luckily, there are experts in the industry that are giving back, and sharing valuable marketing training for little or no cost. Learn the truth about Network Marketing with this no cost report.
