I thought I'd share a few tid-bits of information about working from home,
leads, traffic portals and
lead generation that I have acquired during the past couple of weeks. This could be of particular interest to anyone
starting a home based business.
First, I think it's important to reveal that, as I go about my
V*eret*ekk work on what is now a daily basis, I realise more and more how far I have come in the past 12 months. Not only has my knowledge increased substantially since upgrading to the GOLD system my chances of survival
working from home and making a decent business online are ten times what they were before I began - and getting better everyday!
I have to tell you that this by itself has brought about a big change in my attitude towards what I do online – especially with respect to
leads and
lead generation -and how I do it. I've been able to direct my effort more accurately and develop a clear vision of where I want to be going. coupled with this I've been able to reflect on the lifetime skills acquired and and mould them into my Internet marketing business. Boy does that make me feel good! Not only is the fog starting to clear but momentum is building - I like that.
There's no doubt that since I determined I should become a Veretekk trainer, I have become more aware of what matters to newbies and that enables me to structure the delivery of my classes a little better. Without exception, people
working from home who attend those classes leave me saying how much they enjoyed the experience and how much more there is to the V*eret*ekk system than they ever thought!This is especially true in terms of helping them
generate leads.
And so it is- even for those of us who've been in the community for sometime. theres' still new things we learn about this amazing system developed by Thomas Prendergast and Mike Darling. Sometimes I think of it as though we are all living on a massive, self-controlled galactic spacecraft - filled with a honeycomb of living spaces where we all work. For the most part we visit only the areas we have to or know of in order to achieve our immediate needs - blasts some ads, submit to
Google or even send a Bully Pulpit email out once a week.
But occasionally, when we get to move to a different part of the craft we discovery other interesting aspects and capabilities,meet new people, we marvel and jump for joy at the realisation of being a "super-structure" that can journey anywhere, take on anything and be confident of success - regardless of the 'enemy' Having set this 'background' for this email I'd like to go a little more deeply into sharing my thoughts as to why I see things this way:
1.
FREE LEADS FOR LIFE!Did you know for instance that this fabulous source of
free leads has now been monetised? (That means we can get paid when others buy!) I always thought- when I first joined V*eret*ekk that being able download 30,000 plus
leads FR**EE every month was great - for I had plenty of occasions where I spend good money and heaps of time on the telephone talking to so-called "
Fresh-Leads" which proved to be anything BUT that ! I've often reflected that "Even 1,000 - 2,000 of these
FR**EE leads is more effective than any others I have purchased.
So when Mike Darling announced the monetising of FREEFFAS.com I jumped in to th UPGRADE. Why? Well f
or just $10 per month I could download around 60,000 - 80,000 fresh leads and even get a commission if others came to my site and opted for the same chance! It got even better when I realised I could first "join up under my self" (at my own GOLD FreeFFas.com" and receive a commision for doing so! So I became my own first customer - how good is that?
2.
BLASTOMATICAs if the FreeFFas.co upgrade wasn't enough, I- like hundreds - possibly thousands of others really started to jump for joy when Mike Darling announced a similar upgrade for Blastomatic. Now Blastomatic - which has for many been seen as the best FR**EE tool in the Veretekk arsenal - not only is the best way to Blast your ads to 12 Million sites it now delivers FR**ee
leads too! Wow! it just gets better and better doesn't it? especially when you can now upgrade Blastomatic and receive 5000 +
leads per day for just $14.95 per month. That is $150,000
leads per month or jsut 1 CENT PER
LEAD" Can you believe it? I mean IT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER! And to top it all, you can (GOLD members only) join-up under yourself and receive your first commission! All this sounds great for anyone working from home - and it is - but allow me put this a bit more into perspective with TWO instances that that I can relate to and make comparisons.
FIRST - Through a V*eret*ekk colleague I learnt about an Autorsponder system that had a special 30 days Trial offer for "Just" $99.00 and 100,000
leads. Now get this; * After 30 Days the monthly charge is $195.00 - how many leads involved - 100,000!! #!%^ What I quickly learned was that:
- *For the Trial I only had 50,000 leads to play with
- * The autoresponder - loaded with a set of generic emails - didn't really suit the products I wanted to promote ! To change the emails would have cost me about two days work!
- * The Autoresponder was User – “UN-friendly”! - in fact, after 3 weeks, I still have difficulty in understanding much of it's functions and "Help"text !
- * So far as I can see, I have "hooked" only 7 people after 21 days BUT... - I don't know who they are - no information as to which email offer they responded to - I can't single them out for further 'special attention"!
After 2 weeks working with the 50,000 leads, I received additional leads - (125 to be exact). "Well", I thought "I wonder how good THESE will be"? (That's right DON’T hold your breath! I started phoning the leads and within the first 10 calls to people on the list I was told by 2 people that they had never been consulted or ever agreed to particiate insuch a list!
As an incomplete exercise this has reminded me of something I have known for a while - when you buy leads from anywhere - other than V*eret*ekk; you just don't get anywhere-near the same freshness,value and quality. For just consider the results of this little exercise:
100,000 leads @ $99.00 = 10 CENTS per lead (That's TEN times the cost of V*eret*ekk leads Strike - rate has been 7 - but I don't know anymore - they could be "Clicks" for all I know. I certainly haven't noticed a significant jump in my earnings this month!
So thus far these "7 HITS" have cost me $10.60 each and my frustration and "personal downtime" amounts to 7-8 hours. Worst part is - I CAN'T EVEN DEFINE THESE " HITS" AS LEADS!
Now, lets compare that with another 'New" Biz-opp which costs $49.95 per month (again I plan to try for 2-3 months;
- * So the cost per lead has been - 6 weeks = $74.94 / 1800 (50% bounce-backs) leads = 4 CENTS per lead
- * There have been 13 sign-ups - at a cost of $5.76 each
- * Of the 13 sign-ups 2 have become Affiliates - so the cost per Affiliate so far is $$37.44
Against this the Income from sales has been $49.95. - a net loss of $24.99. I'm thinking at the moment that if another sale comes in during the remaining 2 weeks, I may at least "Break-even"!
Given the way THIS program is operating (At least 50 % of the emails sent bounce back) I may stick with it a little longer. as the coast per actual lead is tolerable. Well I think that's enough of that - except for one thing, what have the leads from Ve*re*tekk yielded?
Well so far as I can make out (because these leads get spread over a large number and variety of opportunties) I have spent the following:
Upgrade on Free FFas.com - Cost $10.00 Less commission on sign-up $5.00 = $5.00
- * Number of leads harvested so far - 140,000 so cost per lead is $5.00 / 140,000 = Less than HALF a CENT per lead ! Upgrade on Blastomatic.com Cost $14.95 Less commission on sign-up =$5.00 = $9.95/4 (weeks) =$ 2.48 * Number of leads harvested so far - 60,000 so cost per lead is $2.48 / 60,000 = Less than HALF a CENT each!
Total expenditure FREEFFas and Blastomatic (to date) = $ $2.48 + $5.00 = $7.48 Number of leads processed ....................................= 140,000 + 60,000 = 200,000 KNOWN Income .......................................................= $160.00 profit / Loss ............................................................= $160.00 - $7.48 = $152.52 Profit. Considering these leads have been measured over less than one month (less than a week for Blastomatic) they are BY FAR the BEST Value - when compared to the two other sources and promise an even better yield given time.
