2006-11-08T11:45:00.000Z

Hi everyone - Andy your SU upline again.

You may only qualify for this giveaway one time and one time only, but you still may qualify for each of the other 2 bonus offers this month.

We lift our wallets to you! Good Luck!

So you see, you still have time to get those two or three enrollees before the end of the month and get them started too.

$500 plus would come in handy for Christmas wouldn't it?

Good luck

Lessons From Geese

2006-10-24T07:13:00.000Z

I came across this little message which has some important lessons for those of us in network marketing. I hope you find it helpful too:

FACT: As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the birds that follows. By flying in a V formation, the whole flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone.

People who share a common direction and a sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are travelling on the thrust of one another.

FACT: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front of it.

If we have as much sense as a goose we stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. We are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.

FACT: When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies to the point position.

It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, people are interdependent on each others skills, capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.

FACT: The geese flying in formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement is the quality of honking we seek.

FACT: When a goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then they launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.

If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

Team Ad Co-op Update

2006-09-26T22:09:00.000Z

Hello again - Andy your Success University upline again

Last week I brought news to you of the ad co-op I'm launching just for our downline, with a start date of 1st October.

I mentioned the co-op operates on a rotator and I want to show you what that actually means.

I've just added a few names so far to just 3 of the different rotators that we'll be using in different promotions.

The first one will use the 'One Chance' page and will be in the welcome email in the GetResponse PowerLeads series:

Test this link

Try it - each time you click on it a different username will come up and that gives each co-op member an equal opportunity to get the signup. Obviously if someone has bought more than one share, their page will be entered into the rotator the same amount of times as the number of shares they bought.

The second rotator is the 'free trial' signup page which will be in all but the first of the GR Powerleads emails.

Test this link

Again, try it and see the names change.

The third rotator has the '/new' lead capture pages for use in search engines etc., but each co-op member has the option of choosing their '/slim' page if they prefer.

Test this link

All rotators will be reset on the day the co-op starts, so it doesn't matter how many times they're clicked on now.

I need people to commit NOW, as I need to get all this and the promotions in place for the 1st October and I've provided PayPal payment options in the team blog at the bottom of the post about the co-op.

Obviously you don't need to re-enroll into SU! That's there for non-members who might visit the blog and you'll see if you click that link that I've added the rotator link in there, so each co-op member gets that exposure free of charge.

Each share is $50 per month. There is a PayPal button on the blog to make the $50 payment.

In the first broadcast about the co-op, I made an offer just for October, and that offer was based on this premise from Ziz Ziglar "You can have everything in life that you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want."

So, bearing that in mind, the offer is that for anyone buying 2 shares, i.e. at $100, I personally will add at my expense another $50 share making that $150 worth of shares for the month of October. To take advantage of that, subscribe by using the $100 button and you will automatically get the $150 worth, as I'm the one who's setting it all up.

It's important that you know that this is no affiliate exercise. I take absolutely nothing out of the monies paid into the co-op. 100% of all subscriptions will be used for the promotions except for any handling fees levied by PayPal.

A spreadsheet showing all fees received and fees paid out for the promotions, together with receipts for all payments will be available for any shareholder to see at any time.

So, test the links to see how the rotator works then go to the bottom of the post to subscribe.

If you don't have a PayPal account, you can either open one now, or let me know and I can make arrangements for credit/debit card payment.

Please come on board for the co-op as we're about to take off!

At Last - our Ad Co-op's here!

2006-09-19T15:18:00.000Z

Hi Team - Andy your Success University upline here.

I've been mentioning it for a while now but at last I can announce that with effect from 1st October, we will have our own team ad co-op, exclusively for our downline. The timing is good as historically this has proved to be the prime time of year to recruit.

Firstly, what is an ad co-op?

An ad co-op is when someone puts together an advertising portfolio and then sells shares in it to others.

Secondly, how will it benefit you?

In two ways really. Buying shares in an ad co-op removes from you the task of creating all your own promotions. You get the benefit of someone else's experience and effort and also a greater spread across various promotion methods than you could achieve for yourself for the same money.

Also, and this is the most important bit, as this co-op is exclusively for our downline, every new enrollee benefits the whole team, not just the person whose personal signup it is. That's because each new member increases the matrix from which we all get paid our monthly dual team binary payments. That important element is missing from other ad co-ops.

Never has the T.E.A.M. acronym been more relevant:

Together
Everyone
Achieves
More

Initially, the promotions will be based around Daegan Smith's and SU's own email series in GetResponse; exposure in ts25, TrafficSwarm and Topsurfer traffic exchanges and ezine solo ads but the latter have to be booked a little time in advance. That gives us 3 of the 4 legs Cristina mentioned in Day 5 of our training series. The 4th leg will come from other miscellaneous promotions depending on what is currently available and also how much money is in the kitty, which will of course be determined by how many are in the co-op.

I've decided to set the monthly fee at $50 a share but if you're looking to develop this as a business, that is the minimum you should consider investing. If you were starting an offline business, you'd have to put up thousands to get it off the ground.

This is my introductory offer for October only, to kickstart this venture:

For every Premium Member (there really is no point in promoting SU unless you're a Premium Member as you only get 50% of available commissions), who buys at least 2 shares (min $100), I will buy another share for you. And this is a full $50 share, not a $5 share pretending to be a $50 one!

There will be total transparency around monetary issues and you will all get to see the rotator software which handles the even distribution of interest across all links.

In the first instance, I need some indication of interest so that I can be prepared. Please indicate your interest by emailing me at andypoole57@yahoo.com, if you want to be a part of the co-op and how many shares you will want.

This mutually beneficial venture is the best way by far to create momentum in our downlines, so let's make the most of it.

To become a member of this Ad Co-op, first join Success University here if you're not already a mamber.

Dear Employee, Your Job Sucks!

2006-09-09T12:51:00.000Z

You may or may not have heard of the Dear Employee, your job sucks! report but it's proving to be a valuable tool for recruiting to Success University

So what is it?

It's a 67-page report called "Dear Employee, Your Job Sucks" that was written to help new associates build their Success University organisations.

The report covers some or all of their advertising costs with its backend affiliate commissions. It handles common objections and misunderstandings about the networking industry. It also trains them (as many are brand new to marketing). Dear Employee is a value-added educational resource they can send to their leads/prospects instead of a standard sales pitch about Success University. It also acts as a lead generator (links to the contact form). And much more...

The report was released last year, received over 800 downloads in the first week, won the Lyons International Free Report contest and was featured on Internet Marketing NewsWatch twice.

Dear Employee, when branded, builds 6 income streams (one of which alone pays $400 per sale) and makes the marketing and sponsoring for Success University relatively simple.

This tool is great as a supplement to Success University marketing efforts as it is free for an associate to use (no shipping costs, etc). In fact even hosting of a copy can be provided for free. Graphic work (professionally designed) is also provided free of charge.

The report (branded with all affiliate links including Success University prospecting links) can be posted on a website or a blog; It can be emailed to a mailing list as a free gift; It can be sent to current downline as additional training; It can be emailed to previous prospects as a follow-up and further marketing; The report can be offered as an educational piece to brand new leads; It can be posted on networks such as MySpace, Ryze, Squidoo and more; Link to it in your email signature and all forum signatures; Use the squeeze page (opt-in prospecting page) provided and advertise it to create more and more leads for Success University...

A full training forum in Stone Evans' training site is available with hundreds of marketing ideas for traffic generation to your custom report.

Some of the top Success University leaders have reviewed and/or are using this tool including Daegan Smith and Mike Ward.

I'm making a free copy of the report available for download here and you can use this to promote your Success University business by distributing it as described above. This of course is my branded version but if you want you can get your own branded copy by going to page 64. Take it, try it and see if it works for you.

In the 24 hours since I started promoting it, I've had over 130 downloads!

Please feel free to post comments

Good luck

Don't Re-invent The Wheel

2006-08-21T09:24:00.000Z

Hello everyone - Andy Poole here from your Success University Upline.

It's probably down to the fact that we like to be creative, or even that sometimes we think we know better, that leads us to try to do things differently.

I know in my time in Success University, I've experimented with different promotion methods and I've tried all sort of different approaches to prospects, leads and new enrollees, with varying degrees of success.

Last night I listened in to Chris and Julie Chojnowski's training call and I was reminded by them that we already have all the tools we need to create success, provided by SU and that these tools are the same ones that all the big hitters in SU have used themselves to create their success. Chris and Julie's message was

"Do what the successful people do"

. If it worked for them, why wouldn't it work for you?

It's difficult to argue against that logic and so I'm going back to basics and looking at just what tools we have that are freely provided for our use - tools that have a proven track record of success.

When you get right down to looking at the website and the back office, it truly is a treasure trove of wonderful material.

There are all the learning courses, which aid personal development but also give excellent tuition in how to market your SU business.

There are all the marketing tools, such as the Infomercial on the home page, the scripts, welcome emails and many other resources in the Document Library.

There are simple but powerful explanations of the great Compensation Plan, in both document and audio format.

There's the Boot Camp which is a great way to get going with your business, especially by completing your goals sheet.

And perhaps the most powerful tool of all is the regular, live training calls. Because of the time difference with me being in the UK and these calls taking place in the middle of the night my time, I've been guilty of not taking advantage of these as much as I should.

Listening to Chris and Julie reminded me of what I'm missing. I'm part of the group that's setting up the training side in the UK which will benefit those who live over here and others who are in similar time zones but for those who can take advantage of the US timed ones, I strongly recommend you do.

The Opportunity calls in particular are there for one purpose - to do the selling for you. You see, we think we have to do the selling ourselves, when the best way to have it done is already provided.

These calls are on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm CST and the timings of the UK based ones will be broadcast soon. Do what you can to get any prospect or lead onto these calls and let the system do the rest.

I also strongly recommend the Fast Start Training calls given by Ned Rae on Saturday mornings at 11am CST. A must for the newbie marketer!!

AS I stated in the headline, 'Don't reinvent the wheel'. Explore all the tools you already have and use them to the max.

Believe and it will happen

2006-08-06T15:44:00.000Z

Hi everyone - Andy here again from your SU upline.

What do these people all have in common?

Myriam from Malaysia
Debra from South Carolina
Danny from Singapore
Safriti from Malaysia
Dan from Las vegas
Monica from Washington State
Jenny from Houston

No idea? Well, they've all signed up directly under me, just within the last week.

It's great isn't it? Some are Premium members and some are 'Free Trialers' (who of course will see the benefits of upgrading to Premium pretty soon if they've any sense!!)

Yes, this has been a good week but who knows, that could be how it's going to be for me from now on as all the things which have brought me this success this week, are still in place for the next week and the week after that.

The point about sharing this with you is not to gloat but to highlight a point.

I'm an average sort of guy. A bit shy and not one normally to try to stand out. I joined SU in April of this year. Prior to that I had just a few weeks experience of Internet Marketing, so not a lot.

On joining I had a few signups as a result of warm market contacts (friends, family etc.) and a bit of early success in online referrals. Then it dried up for a while. No matter what I did, the new signups just weren't coming. I was committing money and time and doing what I was led to believe was right, but nothing significant was happening. I got into a frame of mind of thinking this isn't working and guess what?

It was when I got an email from Mike Ward from Stone Evans' team, that I saw what this industry is all about.

I sent a broadcast about Mike's email at the time and it's recorded on the team blog under It Just Takes Two.

I'd been looking at it as a mechanical process, whereby you should get a response as a direct result of your actions. This industry doesn't work like that though. It is about belief. It's about a mind set, a positivity, a certainty that you have it in you to be successful for yourself and for others.

All of the materials in the back office are about creating this frame of mind. The Boot Camp, the Jim Rohn Success Plan, the countless achievement courses that are all there for us to get a belief that if we want something badly enough and commit to it, it WILL happen.

How else can I explain the results of this week? I now go about what I do, believing that I have it within me to succeed and more importantly, to help others succeed and that is picked up by people who are then drawn to it and that in return guarantees the success.

I'm currently talking with SU about running some of their online training in the UK. Our Aussie cousins have asked me to share some of my experiences with them in their online training. I've even booked tickets for SU's Second Anniversary Party in Texas in January 07, and know by then that the flights, hotel, etc., will be well within my reach.

Negativity attracts negativity. Positivity brings success.

Believe and be successful.

If anyone is thinking of going, would they please let me know and if there are enough showing interest to get at least a 10 pack bundle, the saving is worth it.

It's Celebration Time

2006-07-13T07:01:00.000Z

Hi everyone - Andy Poole here from your Success University upline.

Something happened yesterday which I want to share with you. The 50th person was enrolled into our 'team' and she is Claire Kennelly from Western Australia and her Sponsor is Val Hayward also from Western Australia. Welcome Claire and congratulations to Val who has now reached Counsellor level.

50 members in the team might not sound a lot but just think about it. I only joined SU in April this year. What that means is since then the people I've personally enrolled have then got their own enrollees and some of them have gone on and done the same and ditto. We're down to the fourth level in just three months.

I'm not talking about the matrix here or including spillover - that 50 is just personally enrolled members from me and you nice people in my downline.

The results of network marketing are exponential and these first few months are always going to be the leanest. The same level of activity over the next three months from everyone, will not just double the numbers but explode them into the hundreds as the new people coming in add their efforts to the volume.

The reason for mentioning the 50th person is just for the sake of interest though, (and to give pats on backs where due) as the real income comes from the matrix. My group volume, which includes spillover from above and below, currently stands at 539 ACTIVE members. I haven't included the many 'Free Trialers' who have yet to upgrade and who could add considerably to that number.

As mentioned in a previous broadcast, the secret to network marketing is to duplicate what you do to your immediate downline and to get them to do the same to theirs, and so on.

Do that and we all win.

Good luck and best wishes
Andy Poole

It Just Takes Two.

2006-06-16T15:32:00.000Z

Hi - Andy Poole from your Success University upline here again.

I was reminded recently of a powerful fact about Network Marketing, and which was one of the reasons I thought this type of system was right for me in the first place.

It was in a recent team broadcast message from Mike Ward, Stone Evans' Mr Fixit, and part of his message was this:

"This is how anyone with no marketing money can simply get two people and duplicate this to create a massive team!! 1, 2, 4, 8, 16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,4096. Look at those duplication #'s, more than 8000 people on your team by teaching one simple principle, find 2 that are willing to go to work, who will find two and teach them how to do the same." Mike Ward.

It's quite a simple yet powerful fact really isn't it?

We can all get caught up in trying to get massive sales ourselves. We look at the Compensation Plan and see the rewards for getting the matrix into the high hundreds and it's easy to think that we bear the sole responsibility for getting all those new people ourselves.

But of course we don't though, do we? . Those numbers are based on the accumulated effort of us all and that what each of us does individually counts for everyone else in the team.

If we recruited lots of people ourselves, we'd certainly do well from Fast Start Bonuses (only if they were Premium members though), but if none of those signups did anything themselves, there'd be no matrix built and no residual income. The huge long term income comes from building the matrix. We only need six active personal referrals to be eligible for commissions for life.

So I've come to the conclusion that a large part of my efforts need to be directed away from just focusing on recruiting and more on to ensuring those already recruited understand the principle of this duplication process.

Each of us must support, encourage and cajole our downlines to get hold of this simple principle - it just takes two from each of us and for that to keep going on and on down the line . We all have the Team Broadcast facility to contact our downline, plus email, telephone, Skype or whatever contact means you've established. So let's use them to get this message across.

Understanding this principle of duplication, lifts a huge load off us individually to have be solely focused on just getting new signups.

The power of network marketing is in the duplication just keeping on going down the line.

From now on, 'It Just Takes Two' is going to be my mantra and I recommend it becomes yours too.

Good luck
Andy Poole

More Co-op News

2006-06-09T20:15:00.000Z

Hello Team

Andy here again from your Success University upline.

Following on from my mail of a few days ago, I have an update on the Success University co-op ventures.

I brought to your attention details of the current co-op in Stone's Training Forum

This is run by Bahamas Joe, and access can be gained HERE

I've been in this one for just over a month and it's produced quite a few leads and at least one Premium enrollee.

The second one started by PeterC is no longer running.

Another one is run by Rachel Long and is based around her 'email marketing on steroids' campaign.

Details of this co-op are HERE

I've not taken advantage of this one personally so can't report first hand but I do know people who do use her co-op which seems to produce steady trickle of leads but she does offer a 100% guarantee.

I think it's fair to make the following point. You have to promote your Success University membership in order to be successful. Unless you're already an experienced and successful Internet Marketer, utilising the knowledge, buying power and spread of risk that a co-op offers, has to be a better option than remaining on your own steep learning curve.

If you need further information, please feel free to ask

kind regards

Success University Co-ops

2006-06-06T07:57:00.000Z

I'm currently testing various advertising and promotion methods:

Bought in leads
Popunders
Traffic exchanges
Ezines

with a view to forming a co-op for my downline.

In the meantime, many others already have Success University co-ops up and running and I've joined all of the ones I've seen so far.

The way it works is, a co-op is formed, usually with a set limit on the numbers allowed to join. Often though, when that number is exceeded, a second co-op is then created. You elect to join and then pay the required fee. So far I've paid between £11 and $100 for my shares. Some are a one-off co-op, others are to run monthly.

The advantages of being in a co-op are:

You tap into the marketing skills of a more experienced marketer
You don't have to do all the testing to find out what is working and what's not
Economies of scale kick in and you can get more bang for your buck
Your share is spread over different forms of promotion

The places to go to get access to the ones I've seen are:

Success University Training
This is Stone Evans' own forum which I've mentioned previously. Scroll down to 'Paid Promotions'

Success U Co-op
This is the site that's mentioned in the 'ezine ad' thread in the training forum and is where you go to enroll.

Warrior Forum
The major internet marketers forum but for this purpose you'll need to scroll down to the 'Plug-in-Profits' forum. P-i-P being Stone Evans' other online venture.

Please be aware that none of the above have anything to do offically with Success University themselves, although the connection through Stone is very close and the co-ops are set up by private individuals, so it's being done on a basis of trust.

A major advantage of co-ops, is that not only are they an easier option for us but they're an excellent tool for getting inexperienced marketers in your downline up and running.

Good luck

The benefit of being in Stone's downline

2006-05-31T16:11:00.000Z

Stone Evans, who is creating massive waves in Success University at the moment is my immediate upline and so anyone who enrolls through me, will be in his downline too. This has significant advantages for us all as the matrix explodes from his enormous recruiting effort and gives us great income potential.

Plus, we get access to a lot of training and support, in additon to SU's own extensive provision.

The latest that I've just received from Stone is this comprehensive training material

Success University Training

and also this great support facility

Support forum

Both of the above are in addition to Success University's own training and support, as they are provided by our hero, Stone.

To our success

I've already done a post on here about TrafficSwarm and I've just started using this traffic exchange as well - ts25.

It's slightly more interesting than TrafficSwarm as you just don't surf for your own benefit, you are part of a syndicate of 25 people and also there are bonuses to aim for while surfing which adds an extra dimension. I surfed for about 3 hours yesterday (I got caried away!) and earned over 500 visits to my SU lead capture page.

There are 3 levels of membership offered. The "Silver" membership is free and is suitable for the beginner because it offers a chance to figure things out without spending any money. The "Gold" and "Platinum" membership options are suited to the web marketer who really wants to drive visitors to their website without having to put in a lot of time and effort.

I've also just found a couple of free places to post your ads. I've become a member of the first one and will report back on how effective it is.

There's no secret to this - the more you do and the more effort you put in, the more you'll get back.

This isn't a traffic exchange but does give you a list to email. I'm still a free member, so the list I get isn't extensive but every little helps!

Success University FAQs

2006-05-27T08:53:00.000Z

In your SU back office, there is a comprehensive FAQ section, but additional FAQs have been provided by Mike Ward, Stone Evans' support team leader, based on the questions he is frequently being asked. There is some duplcation but also some very useful additional support material.

The list is too long to post here but I have it as a word document and you can get it by emailing me at andy@andrewpoole.net

Rachel Long's Winning System

2006-05-18T19:37:00.000Z

As promised, I've been able to implement the recruiting system as used by at least two of Success University's top 15 seller for 2005.

It was created by Rachel Long, Success University's top recruiter in 2005, with close to 500 personal referrals to her name!

The system is a Newsletter/ezine, containing 30 emails which are sent out by an autoresponder over a 30 day period. Rachel calls it email marketing on steroids.

The idea is that we use it to obtain our own personal referrals and then pass on the system to those who we've recruited, for them to use in the same way and then pass on down the line and so on.

Not only will we earn well from the fast start bonuses, but with as many people as possible using the system down the line and enrolling masses of people, the matrix will just explode and provide us with considerable income for life.

What each of us will need to take advantage of the system is:

1. Be a Premium member of Success University. This is a one-off payment of $149.95 but not doing so will mean you will only get 50% of the commissions you would have received as a premium member. Go to your back office and upgrade to Premium if you haven't already done so.

2. Be a Pro member of Getresponse autoresponder. It does have to be Getresponse for reasons which will be explained later and being a free member is no good as your emails will carry other people's adverts, thus diluting the effect of your mailings. The cost of this is $17.95 per month or $145.40 for the year.

3. Finally, buy qualified Getresponse Power Leads. By this, it's meant that Getresponse will provide you with however many leads you buy of people who've specifically subscribed to your newsletter. These are the best quality leads and they will be put straight into your autoresponder by Getresponse, which is why you're using their autoresponder. You can buy these leads in different quantities, but they start at $89.95 for 200.

That's it. That's the system which I now have up and running myself. Even if you're not already a member of any of the above, the initial outlay can be as little as $257.85 which is a small investment in business terms. You're either serious about making money here or you're not.

I have detailed instructions on how to set the whole thing up which are currently in a Word document. I'll work on them a bit and then post them here but in the meantime, email me at andy@andrewpoole.net requesting a copy and I'll send it to you ASAP.

To our success.

As a personal Life-coach, part of the attraction of Success University to me is the access I get to the personal development materials in the 'Learn' part of the dual 'Learn & Earn' aspect of SU.

Also, a lot of the training materials are based on the principles of coaching - goal setting, committing to actions etc., so I shouldn't have been surprised to see in the following film clip from Fox TV, that Matt Morris, founder and President of SU is a Personal Development Coach. He's so young too!

SU Compensation Plan Overview

2006-05-16T16:38:00.000Z

I can't emphasize enough, the need to familiarise yourself with the compensation plan and the importance of understanding the placing structure.

The reason for this is not just so you'll know what you'll be earning but also to maximise those earnings for you and your downline.

Print off the Comp Plan from your back office - it's in document library - and then listen to Trisha Smith's audio on the plan, which is accessable from your back office main page.

It will be time well spent.

Success University Training. Day 5 - Online Marketing

2006-05-13T09:59:00.000Z

Now we move on to kickstarting the online marketing effort and this will be a work in progress as new things are tried and tested.

I'm sure many, if not all of us are on limited resources so initially this will be about free and relatively low cost promotions.

I've already done a post on TrafficSwarm which is a traffic exchange which you can use for free or upgrade and have access to more of their services. Take the time to check that out as it's quite simple to set up and you can have up to 10 ads running even in the free version.

There are many more traffic exchanges which you can find by searching 'traffic exchange' in Google or similar. You can also do the same by searching for free online classified ads. I've not used these yet but they need to be evaluated.

As there's such a lot of 'energy' around SU at present, I'm going to invest some money to cash in on this. So today I have a solo ad going out promoting SU and I'll report back in a day or so on its progress.

I'm also considering buying some quality leads through GetResponse probably the best autoresponder around and I already have platinum membership with them, so I ought to utilise that as much as I can.

I also have an account with Adminder an ad tracking company and they're offering a relatively low cost popunder programme which I will evaluate too.

This would be a good spot for you all to add your comments about what you've done that's been effective, or ask for advice about something you're considering doing.

The whole point of this blog is for us all to help each other maximise our involvement with SU.

To our success!

Your own Personal Referrals - How to deal with them

2006-05-11T16:05:00.000Z

This is the email we all want to receive from Success University:

"Way to go (your own name) you just enrolled someone"

That means that someone has signed up to SU through your link, i.e. with you as their sponsor. Several things are important here and all of it is available in your back office, but it won't hurt to repeat it here.

In your 'preferences' the default for new signups is that they're placed in your 'holding tank'. You can change this preference to other settings and you'll need to read and listen to the compensation plan to know about the options.

So, if your setting is the default, either act on the information in the comp plan, or ask your sponsor what best to do, or post a query here.

People invest in people, not businesses. So it's important you make contact with your personal referral right away, to welcome them to your downline and offer yourself to them for advice, which your sponsor will help you with if you don't know the answer. How you make contact is up to you but as they may be from anywhere in the world, email is probably best.

Ultimately, both you and the new person benefit from them upgrading to Premium membership. Of course I'd say that but bcoming a premium member enables everyone to earn double commissions. In my view there's no point in being a member unless you're premium status. Why would anyone want to earn only half the commission available?

The premium upgrade cost is $149.50, which includes the first monthly fee, so the real cost is $100. Anyone would regret not paying it when they miss out on half of the commission they would have earned over the coming years!

The way network marketing works is by you passing on to your downline what you've learned from above. The deeper the learning and success goes, the greater your own personal income from SU will be. It's as simple as that.

With all the new business being created around and for us, there is no excuse for not making the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It's Starting to Happen Now!

2006-05-11T14:01:00.000Z

The last 48 hours or so have seen a massive increase in signups in Success University most of which is probably down to Stone's promised marketing efforts. So much so that the servers have been down this morning but thankfully they're back to normal now.

Those of us in Stone's co-op will see the biggest reward from that effort but even if you're not in the co-op, the results of it will benefit everyone in SU by filling your downline. These won't count as personal referrals, unless you're in the co-op, but they will count as 2/3rds of the people you need to get the binary matrix bonuses, which is where the real income comes in over a period of time.

Do what you can to help yourself too. TrafficSwarm is easy and free and you can run up to 10 ads in there. See the post on here about setting up TrafficSwarm.

Good luck and get prepared

Success University Training. Day 4 - Offline Marketing

2006-05-02T15:30:00.000Z

Today, it's time to launch your offline marketing campaign.

What do I mean by offline marketing?

Offline marketing is advertising your online business through offline channels such as newspapers, magazines, business cards, flyers, postcards, etc.

Offline marketing is a great way to stand out from the crowd. Most people who start an online affiliate marketing business ONLY advertise online where competition is at it's most fierce. That's not smart marketing. In fact, a lot of people who try, but ultimately fail to produce profits online could have made a fortune if they'd invested the same amount of effort and energy promoting their online business using offline marketing strategies.

Why is offline marketing of an online business so effective?

Mostly, because your ads stand out more. Offline, there are only a handful of intelligent marketers promoting their Internet business. This is a huge opportunity for you.

Wherever you live, there are people all around you right now who are hoping to find a way to make extra money. You have a great solution for many of these people but they will never know about it until you tell them through your offline marketing efforts.

So what are your offline options?

1. Newspaper Classified Ads
Look through your local newspaper and those of nearby towns or cities and see what they offer. Newspaper classifieds can be relatively cheap.

Here's a couple of sample ads just to give an idea:

STOP reading classified ads
Make money from
them instead... I'll
show you how:

Don't Read This Ad
Until you've tried
everything else on
this page. When
they all fail you,
I'll show you how
to make real money:

You will need to decide how they contact you; website address, telephone etc., and put that in the ad.

The key to classifieds is consistency. Sales come through familiarity.

2. Flyers
There is an option to get business cards and flyers printed through SU but it's a US printing firm so not practical for those of us around the globe. You already have enough promotional copy in the form of capture pages to be able to create a good flyer which your print shop will make look good for you.

You can then do this with them:

Method 1) You could put these flyers on all the doors in your neighbourhood and surrounding neighbourhoods... or pay someone to do this for you. There are many services who do this kind of flyer distribution for a small fee.

Method 2) You could take small stacks of 10-15 of these flyers and distribute them in local retail establishments who support this type of grassroots marketing. Many grocery stores, restaurants and other local business establishments have a place already dedicated for your flyers.

Method 3) Visit a local college campus and find areas where you can post your flyers. Think about it... Students are always looking for ways to make extra money.

Method 4) Get creative! What other ways can you think of to get your flyers passed around? If the 3 ideas suggested don't work for you, come up with your own. You know yourself and your neighborhood best. Decide now how you want to get your flyers distributed and just do it!

3. Business Cards
Everyone you know should get one of your cards plus lots of people you don't know.
The golden rule of business cards is they don't work if they're left in the wrapper back home!

These are just a few ideas to get your offline marketing campaign up and running.

Good luck

Wow - take a look at this!

2006-05-02T07:11:00.000Z

In Day 1 training, I recommended you get familiar with your websites and urls.

If you did that, you will have seen that the lead capture pages (those ending in '/new' and '/slim', were almost identical apart from the sign up fields.

This is risky posting this as those at SU Towers are constantly changing and improving things but as at the time of writing this, the '/new' page has changed to this:

http://apoole1.successuniversity.com/new.aspx

I hope it's still there by the time you read this!!

Update.

Just so you don't think I've lost the plot, the above link takes you to three different ads on a rotation basis. Click on it a few times and see if it changes.

Success University Training. Day 3.- The Warm Market

2006-05-01T19:13:00.000Z

Today's training is the start of the process of you attracting clients. No business of any kind or anywhere can survive if it doesn't have clients or customers. How you go about getting those clients though is the important bit.

In respect of this business venture, you can get clients from:

the warm market: people you already know; family, friends and aquaintances, or
the cool market: people who are strangers to you

and you can attract those clients as a result of:
offline means: chats, telephone calls, letters, flyers etc., or
online means: websites, blogs, emails etc.

Today we will concentrate on the warm market.

HERE IS THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS

It's estimated that there are 300 people on this planet with whom you have a reasonable amount of influence. Take advantage of this fact. Make sure that every person within your own circle of influence KNOWS that you are in business for yourself, and make sure they understand what your business offers.

You can do it in person.

You can do it with a personal letter.

You can do it with a phone call.

You can do it with email.

You can even do it telepathically if you're able!

The important thing is to JUST DO IT.

I suggest you make a list of all the people you know. Write or type down the person's name and how to contact them.

Just take the next few hours of your day and think of everyone you know. Make one column with the person's name and make another column with the method you would prefer to communicate with this person (example: face-to-face, personal letter, telephone, email, etc.).

Whatever you do, don't underestimate the power of this list and also remember, you only get the one chance to tell these people for the first time!

In your back office, you have examples of 'scripts' to use for both warm and cold markets. You have examples of emails, one of which I've adapted and placed here on this blog.

It's possible that someone you know persuaded you that Success University has the potential to make you wealthy, so if they and you believe that to be true, why would you keep that from those in your circle of influence?

Good luck and as ever, feel free to use the comments link below for queries or comments.

Success University Training. Day 2 - The Compensation Plan

2006-05-01T12:43:00.000Z

Hi again

Today's training is finding out about SU's incredible compensation plan. This explains to you the enormous earning potential that is yours, now that you've joined our team.

Success University's earning aspect is a multi level marketing plan, which means you not only get rewarded by your own efforts but also by the efforts of those who you've introduced to SU and by those who others in your same binary leg have introduced.

Firstly, login in to your back office through 'student login' from your main website. Then click on 'resources' and then 'document library'. You will see in the list of documents that are there for your benefit, one called 'compenstion plan', click on it and a written version of the plan will appear and I recommend that you print it off now.

Secondly, still in your back office home page, you'll see a box marked 'updates'. Click on the 'compensation plan training' link which will take you to a 40 minute audio file which is probably the most important 40 minutes you'll spend while in SU.

Listening to this explanation of the compensation plan, whilst reading off the written version, will give you an understanfing of the financial rewards that are yours for the taking if you commit to making your membership of SU a success.

Read, listen and get excited!

As ever, leave queries and comments in the box below.

Success University Training. Day 1 - Familiarisation

2006-05-01T10:06:00.000Z

Hi again and welcome to the first day of your step-by-step training which will help you get maximum advantage from the income generating aspect of Success University.

Day 1 is about familiarising yourself with your websites and urls and the first bit of information is taken from your Boot Camp #1 email from Matt Morris, which you will receive soon if you haven't already done so.

1. What are my website's that I should be promoting?

Your main website is http://APoole1.successuniversity.com This is the site you might want to give out to the people you know personally... be sure to tell them to watch the movie and to click on the "14-Day Free Trial" link.

This also the site you use to get to your 'Back Office'. Click on 'Student Login' and enter your username and password and all your sales and learning materials are here. Just go through the various drop-down menus to see what you have inlcuding looking at the free bonuses you've got just for joining SU.

The sites you should use for all advertising are:
http://APoole1.successuniversity.com/new This is what we call a lead capture page... it requires your prospect to fill in their name, phone number and email address in order for them to see the website. This is important because it allows you to follow up with a phone call to the people who visit your site AND it enters their email address into a follow-up autoresponder with email letters that are proven to produce the highest percentage of enrollments possible.

For those of you who might want to advertise outside of your country and cannot call your visitors, you can use this page http://APoole1.successuniversity.com/slim This page only asks for a first name and email address so you will see a higher percentage of people fill in the form than your /new page.

Your main sales page which you can use to get people to sign up straight away without getting their details is http://APoole1.successuniversity.com/specialoffer

Remember to replace my username 'Apoole1' with your own username in all of the above links. The pages are exactly the same as mine but you will need to direct people to your sites, not mine, for you to earn income.

Taking time to become totally familiar with your sites and your back office, will make the following training days that much easier.

If you have any queries or comments on Day 1, just feel free to make them by emailing me at andypoole57@yahoo.com

Good luck and see you on Day 2.

My version of Stone's email/ad

Andy Poole

end solo ad text

You can use this ad exactly as it is here (remembering to put your own username where mine says 'apoole1') or you can tinker with it until you're happy with it.

I've just paid $33 to use this as a solo ad in an ezine with 22,000 subscribers. It will go out in a week or so and I'll keep fingers crossed.

I'm also going to send it to my email list. If you don't yet have a list, you can buy them but you need to be careful as there's a lot of rubbish being sold amongst the good ones.

Good luck

Traffic Swarm & Instant Buzz

2006-04-26T13:24:00.000Z

Included in your SU marketing materials are a couple of pages to use in traffic exchanges. Traffic exchanges are sites where you earn credits by looking at other members sites, which you can then use to expose your own ads to them.

Both of these sites offer free membership (I'm still setting up Instantbuzz but I believe that's true) and as you already have the sales page, why not use it?

Here they are:

http://apoole1.successuniversity.com/trafficswarm/default.aspx

http://apoole1.successuniversity.com/instantbuzz/default.aspx

Obviously these are my pages but if you replace my username 'apoole1' with your own, the pages that come up will be your very own sales pages.

You already have SU acccounts, so you'll need to set up Traffic Swarm and Instant Buzz accounts.

Make sure you only set up the free options though!

When you have your TS & IB id's, send an email to traffic@plugandplay.com with those id's and your SU username, requesting details of the ads.

Here's the follow up info on setting up your TrafficSwarm ad:

- Login to your TS account

- Scroll down to the "Manage Your Site Promotions" section.

- Cick "Add a New Site Address".

- Step One: Enter the following:
http://username.successuniversity.com/trafficswarm/default.aspx (replace 'username' with your own username)

- Step Two: Enter the following:
#1 Cash Generator 4 TrafficSwarm Members

- Step Three: Enter the following:
$500,000 in commissions paid last year – FREE system
For TrafficSwarm Members…

- Step Four: Put a check mark next to 3 relevant boxes.

- Step Five: Leave this area blank.

Then click the "Update" button at the bottom of the page. When you've completed the five steps above, the free ad that you've set up on Traffic Swarm will look like this:

#1 Cash Generator 4 TrafficSwarm Members
$500,000 in commissions paid last year – FREE system
For TrafficSwarm Members…

SU provide three variations of the ad and you can choose which you prefer, or you can make up your own and send traffic to any of your lead capture pages. Here they are:

It's me again!

I should have put this in the first post but better late than never.

Why not leave a simple message about your self in the comment box below and include a mention of how you came into Success University.

Welcome to the Team

2006-04-25T16:38:00.000Z

Hi everyone

I'm Andy Poole from the UK and this is a blog I've created for my downline (team) in Success University. If you've had notification of this blog then you are in my downline somewhere.

It's a place where we can ask questions, share successes, provide motivation, in fact anything that's relevant to our joint and interdependent success in this venture.

Good luck everyone and see you here as often as you like.
