As we get closer to the official launch of uVme, I just keep getting more amazed at well things are going with so little input from myself. Not that I would be affecting the success of the overall endeavor, but the growth happening in my own business group.

In fact, at first I did promote the uVme business strongly using the methods in my MLM training course because I was at a point in my business cycle where I had some time to focus on it. Through those efforts there were about a hundred people that joined my group. Out of those, perhaps a dozen continued to work on bringing new members in. Since there is no cost to join and promote the business (at least until the launch in January) it's pretty easy to introduce new people.

Then a couple of months ago the thing happened that we all like to see in our businesses - explosive growth!

It turns out that my earlier business building efforts reached into Thailand where dozens of people are joining my group each week. And that is the power of having a business that works globally. I've been in network marketing businesses where you need to ship a physical product and you always end up with a problem when you want to expand outside of your home country. Plus you have the expenses associated with shipping physical product and handling any returns.

With uVme there are none of those hassle because the product is entirely online. The product (the games) are turning out to be hugely popular and successful as reported by the beta testers. This is a business model that is easy to get behind and promote, so I'm going to enjoy seeing the efforts of all the people in my downline get rewarded as people both come in to play games or come along to join the business.

If you have not been introduced to uVme yet, check out this uVme intro video for an explanation on how it works.

I've been spending quite a bit of time in the social networks and helping a close group of marketers with site promotion. One of the tools we have been using is called TaggZilla. It's not the most intuitive creature to use, but when it is used properly, can help get exposure for your websites and your business to your target market.

To try and help clarify some right (and wrong) ways to go about using this tool, I put together some "how to" videos. Initially this was just going to be for our own little group, but thought other people would find this useful, even if you're not using TaggZilla. The first two videos (parts 1 and 2) will reveal some powerful methods for getting your own site into the social circles.

Of course it helps to have a few friends to help the process along, which is what TaggZilla is designed to do. So the next videos (submission - parts 1 and 2) show how to properly use the TaggZilla submission process.

The headline probably has you scratching your head and wondering where on earth I'm going to go with this.  I'm training for a marathon, you can read about it at  www.yourmarathontraining.com, and as I grunt out each mile, I am reminded of how similar the process is when you're struggling with a sales letter, and article, or a simple AutoResponder.

When you're writing you have one goal - to write a polished piece of copy.

When you're training for a marathon you have one goal - to be able to run 26 miles. 

Both tasks are much easier to accomplish if you break them into manageable steps. 

You can't go out and run 26 miles right away and you can't always sit down and write a perfect piece of copy.  During the difficult days, when putting one foot in front of the other, I deal with it by breaking the run into stages.  I'll run to the fence line. I'll run to the next stop sign, I'll run to the end of the block…you see the pattern.  Small steps. 

The same holds true if you're struggling with writing your copy. 

A letter, article, and even an email require:

• A headline
• An intro paragraph
• Relevant key points or benefits in the body of your copy
• A closing
• Occasionally it requires a signature or bio

These features of your copy are easy small steps you can take to make the project more manageable.   And don't forget to take breaks in between each stage of the process.  Over training will burn you out!  You'll lose focus and enthusiasm.  The same thing happens when you're writing an important piece of copy. 

Happy writing!
