Do you remember when you first started your blog?  Remember how excited you were, and how easy it was to write posts?  Well, after a few dozen blog posts it seems like you have talked about everything sometimes, doesn't it?

A few weeks ago I picked up an idea from one of the Internet marketing "gurus" about how to quickly create content for your blog.  I really like it because it helps leverage technology, which I'm always a big fan of.  The technology is voice recognition software.

How This Works for You

Most people can talk more prolifically than they can write, and in fact I'm dictating this to my computer right now!

At first, I was a bit hesitant about trying out this technology.  My previous experience with voice recognition software had not been real positive.  But now, I have taken some time to learn how this works and have put it to great use.

It has been awhile since I've talked about building up the "you" brand, but I think it's time to re-emphasize it. With a growing number of marketers going to social networks to practice their trade, I have seen a lot of bad examples of what you should not do in those networks.

Let's look at some of this, shall we?

Stop Selling!

The main thing that people really ought to pay attention to is how they are coming across to other people. The first thing is stop selling. Imagine you're going to a cocktail party, and you know that you're going to meet some really interesting people in there. And you could probably have really good conversations with them. What is also going through your head is that you're a marketer and these people would be a great audience for your product.

Get that thought out of your head right now!

You go to a cocktail party to meet some friends and make new friends. And not just friends for the sake of marketing to them later. It's true that some of them may do business with you in the future, but you can't know that right now. The people you talk to may actually be a great fit for what you offer, but if you come across too strong that's going to turn them off immediately.

When I was first introduced to uVme several months ago, I thought it was a perfect combination of business and product.  I really enjoy playing games, whether online or off-line, and network marketing is something I've been doing for many years.  So combining the two was just a great opportunity.

Now that we are finally into launch and half a chance to play the games, it seems like a dream come true.  Here you get to play games and call it work!

I've been going in and trying out the games every day since the launch, playing some free games playing some with an entry fee, and seeing that more people are there each day.  What's really enticing about it is that you can play any of the games for free for as long as you want.  And when you're feeling confident enough, you can wage as little as one dollar and have the chance to make back $1.50.

This may not seem like much, but as your business grows, and you have dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people all playing games every day than it really begins to add up.  And since these games only take a few minutes to play each, it's nice to take a little break from whatever else you're doing and bump up your skill a little bit.

So if you find yourself wanting to take a break for a few minutes sometime in the day had over to the uVme.com site and try the games.  It won't cost you anything am sure you will have a bit of fun doing it.  :-).

I had an enlightening conversation with a network marketing business colleague the other day.  This is someone I've known for years and who originally taught me to prospect via telephone.  He has a nice system for doing that, but it turned out to be just not my thing, and also not a thing for people who want to do Internet marketing combined with network marketing.

He was calling to ask me what I thought about a new MLM training course he had come across.  This is kind of ironic, since I had told him about my experience in Internet marketing and network marketing as well as the trading course that I support here.

He Was Pretty Excited

Now my friend was pretty excited about the system.  I can understand that as it is pretty exciting when you learn how to combine Internet marketing with network marketing.  It opens up a whole new world of possibilities for you.  He was learning about affiliate marketing, creating your own products, and learning how to create your own personality on the Internet for people to find.  Of course, these are all things that I teach here and in the MLM training course I support.

I let them go on for quite awhile and he was me a lot of the things that I had told him previously, but he wasn't paying attention then apparently. When he finally wound down little, I tried to explain to him that we do the same thing in our course.  But he would have none of it.  And he would go on another tirade for several more minutes.  I would try to contribute some of my experience and knowledge on the subject, but  he would just completely ignore what I had said and go back on another tirade.
