Those new Kia commercials featuring Blake Edwards are pretty amusing...

Seconds left in the 3rd qtr...the Garden faithful on their feet shouting DEFENSE!...something I have not experienced in a long time.

Reach Out and SOC Someone

"SendOutCards is fast, easy and fun".  "SOC; it's simple and it works".  "Send cards and help others send cards".  I hear these slogans all the time.  Is that really all there is to becoming a successful SOC distributor?  Well, actually, that's not all there is to it.  It also requires a lot of work to be successful as a SendOutCards distributor.  You do have to work hard but it's not hard work. 

Someone once said, "most people will miss a great opportunity because it arrives looking like work."  Let me break down each of these slogans to better understand what it takes to be successful at sending these wholesale greeting cards.

Is it really fast, easy and fun sending cards with this system?  Absolutely.  First of all you can send one card or 500 wholesale greeting cards with postage already included in less than 5 minutes.  Second, it's as easy as sending a regular email and a lot more fun.  Especially when you get a call from the person you sent the card to.  I don't expect anything in return when I send out cards but it feels really good when someone does respond with a nice comment.  Here are just three of several comments I've received in response to a card I sent:

"Hey Roland, it's Mary Wilhite, the card was absolutely gorgeous!!! Good touch, good taste...I love the art, I love everything! I look forward to talking to you! Oh, and thank you for the gift card!  I just love Starbucks!"

"I love this photo and everyone here at work loves it as well. Yes, I would like to design a card because I have another favorite photo that I would really like to see on a card." P. Burwell

"Thank you again for all your help.  I can't wait to hear from everybody on how much they LOVE  the invites. Please say help to Marge for me. Thanks Roland!"  D. Hanna

Can you really become successful by sending cards and helping others to send cards?  Yes, you can.  The process of sending cards and helping others to send cards requires action on your part.  Your success is in direct proportion to your ability to master this process.  There are many distributors, including myself, who have done well in this area who are willing to help you.  And it doesn't matter who sponsored who.  It doesn't matter whose organization you're in--everybody in SOC helps everybody.  All you need to do is ask.

Is it really that simple and does it really work?  Yes, on both counts.  There is no reason to try and guess what your next step should be when you become a distributor.  SOC provides the "daily 8".  This is a system of 8 easy steps that you should strive to achieve each day.  Keeping track of your progress will give you instant feedback on your progress.  Having a slow week?  Check your daily 8 status. Your success is in direct proportion to your commitment to your daily 8.  SOC also provides a simple business plan called the 90 day action plan that is designed to guide you on the path to become a successful distributor in the shortest amount of time possible.  Please note that this is an action plan--the key word being action--your success will be in direct proportion to the action that you take.

So, in essence, SOC really is fast, easy and fun and all you have to do is send cards and help other people do the same.  And it works--if you work it.  You have to work hard but it's not hard work.

How to Get 30,000 to 120,000 Site Views in 30 Days

I just stumbled upon a very cool method to get a lot of free targeted traffic to your website or blog.  This traffic generating strategy is easy and fast to learn and implement.  All you need is a Twitter account, a Posterous account and a blog or website. Five simple steps:

1. Create or obtain a "how to" document to which you have permission to post and/or share on Posterous (it will be rejected if there are any copyright issues).
2. Extract as many key points, sentences and/or impact statements from the "how to" document as you can.
3. Post the document to your Posterous site with a link to your main blog or website (make sure your blog or website is relevant to the topic of your "how to" document).
4. Convert each key point, sentence and/or impact statement into a tweet with a link to the Posterous site.
5. Start sending the tweets at the rate of one, two, three or four tweets per hour.

• Note 1: I use SocialOomph to manage my tweets. It saves me at least 2 hours per day. Try it free for 30 days and see your traffic soar: SocialOomph.

• Note 2: Depending on the quality of the tweet, you can expect to receive an average of 100 site views per tweet on your Posterous site.

That's 1000 – 4000 site views per day.
Do this everyday; that's 30,000 – 120,000 site views in 30 days.  As a result of this traffic you will see an increase in your blog or website traffic.
Here are examples of my Posterous sites that have been getting tons of traffic using this simple method:

The Science of Getting Rich  500 views per day

Simple Freedom  400 views per day

Article Writing Handbook  200 views per day

Give it a try and have fun playing in the traffic (but don't get hurt--don't use this to spam people).

• P.S. if you need any help setting any of this up, or if you need help creating or obtaining a "how to" document, or if you need help creating a free blog or website, contact me at rcbonay@gmail.com and I'll help you get started.

The Science of Getting Rich

I love this book...it was written by Warren D. Wattles and published way back in 1910.  It's in the public domain so you can search for it online and download it for free.
