''Spammers'' OR ''People That Need Help''

People are often banned for spamming.
I'm sure you've noticed lots of blatant advertising as soon as you join.
I don't know about you but I see two different types of people acussed of spamming:

1. PEOPLE THAT SPAM ON PURPOSE
* The ones that come accross as ''know it all'' personalities, with ''the best thing since sliced bread'' poster. I'm sure that you've seen some of those posters sometimes.
They are flashy with all the bells and wistles attached.
Or, they might just describe a huge so called ''money maker''. The more hype involved, the better. You know what I mean.
They'll put that poster or script in e-mails, videos, profiles etc... Depending on the personality type, some will post just one time, and others don't ever give up on stuffing it in your face.
I remember one example when I got an advertising post right in my guestbook. No hello, no nothing attached to it.
I wrote to the person asking if he was aware that he was spamming. His answer back was unbelievable.
He pretty much said that I would not take what he was offering, so that is why he post it in my guestbook.
I wonder if it ever occur to him that maybe I just don't want his stuff.


2. PEOPLE THAT DON'T KNOW THEY ARE SPAMMING

* The ones that are new to the business with nobody helping them. I've been there, a few years ago, uneducated, excited about my new opportunity and eager to show it to everyone in sight.
I had no help, I had no system to follow and I was in a business model full of hype.
The only thing I had was an upline that I only heard from if I didn't buy anything that month.


I did not know where to advertise, the little money I had went on buying useless leads and phone scripts from big ''guru's''. I was like a blindfolded person trying to catch anything with a pulse.
I was joining business communities, forums and I was placing ads everywhere I could,
hoping that someone will join me. After all, there is word out there that we are all numbers, right?
So there I was playing a numbers game in complete darkness.


Nobody offered me any help, all I was told was ''you're spamming, we'll ban you'' .
I was like an child yelled at over and over but not told what he did wrong or how to make it right.
Did anybody come out and say: ''Let me help you'' ? Nooooo.
Well, there were the ocasional ''let me help you for a price'' offers but that does not count.

Most of us have challenges in the beginning, even you, big guru's out there started somewhere. Did you somehow forget?
Next time you see a so called ''spammer'' ask yourself if that could have been you years ago with no help, no money and no hope. Take a step back and think before you point the finger.

I hope that I helped someone today!

Your Profile Can Make You Or Break You...


You are the message....

Your profile should be about you...
A profile name as XYZ Money Maker will do you a huge diservice.
You either will not be remembered at all or even worse, someone will google your name a year from now and the search will come up empty,
or attached to some hypey link .
Your Google ''attachment'' will stay there for a long long time so choose your opportunities and profile wisely.


It is You that people are looking for so come out from behind that link. Come out...come out, wherever you are...
What's your name, tell us a bit about yourself...
A link covering you might be just like a bad tattoo that you regret getting 10 years later.


Your name stays the same. A picture of you attached to the name would be great to have.
People do have a photographic memory, and if you stay long enough in one place they will remember you.


Are you holding on to ''the grass is greener on the other side'' mentality? I can tell you now that the grass is really greener only if you are educated.
Otherwise, you'll end up on the same type of lawn, different landlord, and you won't know the difference.
If you jump from place to place and from company to company, I suggest that you take a break today and look around.
Ask yourself why is that happening...
Did you ever actually due your due diligence before you jumped at... ''ground floor, now is the time'' opportunity, or at the... ''we've been around for decades and our product gives you wings'' opportunity?
And due diligence does not mean listening to what your ''superstar space commander'' top income earner tells you every Saturday morning via conference call.
It also does not matter that the companies board of directors came straight from Wall Street. That does not put any money in your pocket...Of course, if you want to, you can find out from them how to make money... on Wall Street.
It's like going to a dentist for eye surgery. He can be the best dentist in the world but that does not do you any good, does it?

If you did not research, now would be a good time to start...Your life depends on it, I promise you.
Going back to the profile, if nobody told you that branding yourself is the right way, then you definitely don't have a proven system to follow.

The proven system is not the upline, by the way...
The proven system is an actual system to follow step by step. And not all systems are created equal. Again, that is where due diligence comes into play again...

Education is very important. Put a few hours into learning what works and what does not in this industry. A few hours go a long way. Your financial future depends on it.

And don't forget that YOU ARE THE MESSAGE!
Stop hiding behind a logo or a bottle of juice and let people see you.
Did you know that the first thing people are considering before they join is who did the presentation?
How can people join you if they don't know you're there?

I hope that I've helped someone today!

I appreciate you,
Daniela Riess

Professional Pointer VS Guru

''How to Be a guru'' type materials are some of the best sellers in this industry.
Is that really what you need to become to be successful? Is it a must?
Or maybe what we really need is a team of people that we can go to for answers...

Very few people are considered gurus in this industry and we have a lot to learn from them,
we can use their knowledge on our road to success.
It's not essential to your success to become one of them...

One of my favorite chapters in '' Think and Grow Rich'' by Napoleon Hill
is called Specialized Knowledge. By reading that I was reassured that we don't need to become a ''guru''in order to be successful .
All we need is a ''Master Mind'' group that can supply the knowledge we require.


''Any man is educated who knows where to get the knowledge when he needs it, and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action. Through the assistance of his ''Master Mind'' group Henry Ford had at his command all the specialized knowledge he needed to enable him to become one of the wealthiest man in America. It was not essential that he have this knowledge in his own mind.''
Napoleon Hill

Being a guru is not essential to your financial future.
Becoming a professional pointer is.

Find your

''Master Mind'' group.
Remember what Dr. Hill would say :
''Specialized knowledge may be found just around the corner - any corner!''

I appreciate you,
