I Feel Like I’m In Jail!

by Aaron Chen • May 26th, 2010

So as most of you already know, I’m on vacation right now in Shanghai, China.

Yup, went back to where I was based for 5 years just to take a break and see some old friends. Maybe check out the 2010 Expo that everyone is talking about.

And I actually do like to put in a bit of time into work while I’m on vacation since I can basically plug in from anywhere. So right now I’m sitting in my hotel lobby just trying to upload some videos onto Youtube and comment on some blog posts etc.

But guess what?!

I’ve been away from China for so long that I completely forgot that almost ALL the social sites are banned here!

Can you freakin believe that?!

And I couldn’t figure it out for 15 minutes. I kept trying to refresh Facebook and Youtube and nothing was working. Then I remembered that they basically control the flow of information very heavily on the Internet here, especially on social sites.

So this vacation, has now ended up being a REAL vacation, because I literally CANNOT work!

HA!

No Facebook. No Twitter. No Youtube.

Holy crap!

Some would call that a blessing in …

How NOT To Market…

by Aaron Chen • May 25th, 2010

(Click on the 4 arrows on the video console to enlarge if necessary)

If you’ve been marketing online for a while, you will know exactly what I’m talking about, and I guarantee that you have received many of these types of emails and messages. And will probably have a bit of a giggle while watching the video.

Whatever you do, DO NOT market like this. It shouldn’t even be called marketing. I would categorize this more as spamming.

You don’t want to be labeled as a “spammer” do you?

I didn’t think so.

I know I don’t.

It’s bad for business.

But you know what? If you have been marketing like this, it’s not your fault.

You were probably told to market this way by your upline or mentor. So what do you do when you first get started in this business? You listen and follow exactly what they tell you to do.

The worst part is, your upline may not be the best person to listen to when it comes to marketing online.

Not because they aren’t a nice person. But because they’re probably not an experienced online marketer. And again, it’s NOT their fault. So don’t …

From A Dream To Reality

by Aaron Chen • May 24th, 2010

People always ask me what the secret to success is. What is the one thing I would recommend to make a Network Marketing business successful? And my answer is always the same. There is NO secret. Unfortunately, there isn’t ONE single piece of advice, information or action that you can use to move your business from a brand new entity to a well-oiled, money making machine.

Just like any business that you try to start up, it requires lots of blood, sweat and tears. Literally. It requires long hours of testing, tweaking and changing to see what really works. It requires strong resolve and the ability to overcome your weaknesses in the face of adversity. It requires a strong will and the blind passion of an entrepreneur to push forward when everyone tells you to stop dreaming. But most importantly, it requires an unwavering belief that you will make it!

If there really is a secret to being successful in this business and anything in life, this would be it.

Results really come from hard work. From being patient and persistent and always staying the course. Continually educating yourself and improving your skill set as well as having a positive …

Master SEO To Get On Google’s 1st Page

by Aaron Chen • May 23rd, 2010

There is one strategy in the Network Marketing industry that is like the holy grail of marketing strategies. It is unfortunately also one of the toughest to master, however when understood and done well can really open the flood gates for a massive amount of free leads into your MLM business. Let me repeat that. An unlimited amount of FREE leads.

This strategy is called Search Engine Optimization, or better known as SEO. Now don’t let this technical term confuse you or turn you off. All it means is that your website will show up on the 1^st page of Google when people type in a certain keyword term that they are researching. Now the reason why this strategy is so powerful, is because studies show that more people tend to click on the organic results in Google rather than the sponsored advertising or pay per click ads on the right hand side. They also put more weight behind the natural search results because they are not paid for and is what Google deems as relevant based on the word that is being searched for.
