Motivation, success and opportunity…

There is a website which somebody sent me a link to a few months back. I checked it out and very sceptically, signed up for the 9 day trial in order to more properly understand this “opportunity” and the business model behind it all. I really immersed myself in the literature that followed and have been going through this service/opportunity with a fine tooth comb in order to reach this stage where I now feel very comfortable referring this service to you.

One of the most difficult things to accomplish in this world is to stay motivated in the face of abject negativity, trials and tribulations (you know, the stuff life seems to relentlessly throw at you). I’ve come to understand and expect that things can, and very often do, go horribly wrong and when they do, it should not derail our plans or make us despondent and frustrated. To succeed in this life, one must develop or identify coping mechanisms that help us to always keep our eye on the prize and to keep us going during the very difficult times.

Now, I consider myself to have some fairly unique credentials when it comes to the online and business world. I started an online community before blogging or social media were buzz words. I was writing CGI scripts back in 1997 and getting my feet wet with Visual C++ programs. More recently, I launched a new media company about 4 years ago (before Mxit educated the market about mobile internet), with my company creating a number of very unique and technologically ahead-of-their-time products (who on this mailing list can remember the adverts for my products Blackpages and Mobilepages?). Most recently I was the editor of the leading online marketing publication, Marketingweb.co.za and as early as Monday, 5 October 2009, I was selected to give a 15 minute video-conference presentation (via Skype), to delegates of the World Social Media Summit 2009 held in Stockholm, Sweden.

The one thing that I’ve noticed is that the explosion of Facebook, mobile Internet usage and the outright democratisation of technology has put most corporate companies on high-alert. Traditional business models and traditional distribution methods are in grave danger as a new technological wave sweeps the world. Most companies are asking themselves why they should be spending so much money on above-the-line campaigns when there are other, cheaper, more effective marketing options available to them to connect them with their market?

Since everybody knows that word-of-mouth marketing is quite possibly the best form of marketing, social media and its hyper-connected, overlapping circles of friends and compounded peer influence, has made it the ideal vehicle to rapidly (often virally) spread new products and service information…and most corporates want in on the action. My prediction is that we’re on the verge of seeing the greatest reshuffle of corporate marketing strategy yet, where the consumer, now more than ever, has the power to make or break brands in a very short space of time. My gut feeling is that consumers will be driven by one factor and one factor only when they choose to use a particular service/product…they will be driven by the age-old question: “what’s in it for me??”.

Social media and the world’s current recessionary times will be the catalyst for the growth in popularity of numerous affiliate marketing programs, referral marketing and multi-level marketing programs which reward consumers for promoting and sharing a company’s products, information and services. While multi-level marketing (or MLM as it is popularly known) has developed a bit of a bad reputation with people associating it with pyramid schemes, in today’s hyper-connected world, MLM is in my view, showing itself to be a very viable alternative to some mainstream marketing methods.

Consider that Amway and Herbalife, two massive global conglomerates have used MLM as their sole distribution method very successfully for many years now. Also, locally we have Clientele Life having achieved phenomenal success with its IFA multi-level marketing system (a billboard in Rivonia says that there are 2 million IFA agents) and you realise that MLM, if implemented properly, can work.

With this in mind, I therefore have no qualms in recommending people in need of some daily motivation to this website (http://www.bemotivatedtoday.net/31583 – which incidentally also allows you to supplement your monthly income with a near-perfect, automated referral marketing system). Signup, check it out and interrogate the business model for your own peace of mind (I know I certainly have). The free ebooks which you get after you upgrade your account have been amazingly uplifting for me as I installed a PDF ebook reader on my phone and I’ve been devouring some of this life-changing motivational literature ever since.

Personally, I have been working on my own new digital marketing system which I will be communicating to you during the course of next week. It’s a hybrid system which borrows elements from various marketing methodologies with a unique 21st century spin to set it apart from anything you’ve seen before. The best part is that there will be no costs to join this network WHATSOEVER!

I’ll be opening the system up for prelaunch registrations next week so watch this space. In the meantime, visit http://www.bemotivatedtoday.net/31583 and go get yourself motivated.

There’s a very important link between success…and MOTIVATION…help motivate yourself towards achieving success in life.
