It's finally happened!

You finally get to see a video from me without having to look at me.

Several of the newer online systems in network marketing have a "Tell A Friend" feature which is supposed to make it easier to "tell your friends" about your business. There are a couple of problems inherent in those systems, though. Because it's potentially sending the same emails to thousands of people, email servers can see it as unsolicited commerical email (UCE) and block it from ever getting to the destination. The server sending the mail could even get blocked outright for similar reasons.

Another problem I have with these systems is that while the message may be full of information you do want to share with your friends, it doesn't have your voice. So this week I show how to use the positive features of a system like this (the email full of information) along with adding your own voice and increasing the odds of the message actually getting through and getting read.

While this video is done specifically with the "eVo" system, it's applicable to most "Tell A Friend" systems.

You're going to be seeing a bit more about how network marketing, online social networks and online games stand to make a select group of people a nice income. Even if you're not interested in joining the business or playing the games, the processes that I'm using to promote this new business are universally applicable.

So whether or not you participate, you will get to see how to reach new markets, spread the word, and use some of the very specific online techniques to find the right audience for your business. You're also going to see how not everything goes 100% the way it's projected.

Being network marketers, we're used to getting passionate about our products and business opportunity. We're also used to hearing how passionate other people are about their product or business opportunity. Which is why I think it's really funny (as in "laugh out loud" funny) when we're surprised that everyone we tell about it doesn't get as excited as we do. Ah, but there's magic in that realization.

It's pretty rare that I get excited right off the bat about a new business venture. There are a lot of great ideas, but most of them have been done before. So it's a matter of trying to position yourself to beat the "other guys".

Just before the weekend I heard from a new marketing buddy about an opportunity that I've actually thought about developing myself: combining two of my big interests - gaming and marketing. Finally, it's being done!

The number of people playing games online is growing four times faster than the number of new people getting on the internet. This is a huge market in a fun industry and we have a golden window of opportunity get in front of it.
