If you don't know anything about comic books,
Juggernaut is a character in Marvel Comic's X-Men and
he's basically invincible.

Once he get's moving there's nothing that can stop him.

He's a giant imposing character and basically anything
he wants he gets. I like that idea!

As a kid whenever he was a character in one the comic
episodes on TV I felt drawn to this character and even
more so today as I help pave the way to success for
network marketers online.

I'd like to think I'm a little like him.

Any problem that get's in my way I find a way to bust
through it and really that's all there is to success in
business and in your network marketing.

What I mean is, as a network marketer you have problems
that you are faced with the second you start your
business.

-How to find people interested in your business

-How to present your business in a way that get's
people excited to jump on your bandwagon

-How to make it easy for others to do the same

And well . . .

If you can solve these problems you become something of
a network marketing Juggernaut yourself.

So I have a little bit of homework for you today . . .

Sit down and write out ever problem that you are having
in your business.

Set the piece of paper aside until tomorrow and then
come back and think of creative ways to solve those
unique problems you're faced with in your business.

Then next week set an action plan to implement your
solutions to your problems.

Then don't stop until each problem is solved.

What's going to happen when you do this?

Invariably you'll uncover more problems to overcome in
your business.

You'll take ownership of your business.

You'll take the first steps to becoming an entrepreneur
for your own situation.

And here's a hint . . .

An entrepreneur is nothing more than a person who
solves problem for a profit.

So in your brainstorming think of ways to profit in
your business every step of the way.

Do these things right and you'll be a Juggernaut in
your own right with hordes of folks chasing you down to
learn how to do what you do.



What if you could become an Internet network marketing
Juggernaut? What if nothing stop you from succeeding in
your network marketing efforts? What if you could have
hordes of people chasing you down to join your
business? ==> http://www.opportunity-waits.com

Just a quick marketing tip . . .

Test! Test! Test!

Marketing your business effectively is not about
finding one thing and doing it over and over and over
again, unless it's testing.

There is NO one way to do things right, let your
results be the marker of what works and what does not
and not what someone tells you to do.

So here's the tip, you see the headline for this email?

It came through testing, and compared to other
headlines tested this was the one that produced the
best results.

So you opened this email because my prior testing said
you would respond. Imagine honing that power in your
recruiting efforts . . .

Here's an easy way to find out what headlines produce
the best response in your business.

Brainstorm different headlines based on the ones you
see out there that get you to pay attention.

Write down about 10 in notepad.

Start a Google Adwords campaign and place all of your
headlines as ads. Give it about a week or 300 to 500
views per ad and then see which one wins.

Now you have an amazing response producing headline
that you can continue to use in your Adwords campaign,
you can use as a headline in emails to prospects, and
you can use as a headline on your lead capture or
landing pages.

You can even record it in audio and double the impact.

When you do this you'll be doing something that 95% of
marketers and 99% of network marketers never do, and
because of it you'll outperform them every time.

Enrolments for our team co-op continue to come in, we are
about 25 at my last count, so reserve your share now
if you don't want to miss out.

http://mlm-successsite.com/training/Coop%20Program.html

But I have some BAD news for you . . .

When you join our team co-op just like everything else in
life you NEVER get what you pay for.

In life if you buy a house you don't just get a house.

You get a water bill, an electric bill, homeowners
insurance, and a lawn to mow, etc . . .

(Let's not mention the price you pay if anything happens to
break or go wrong.)

Well our team co-op is no different.

That's right!

I guarantee you're NOT going to get what you pay for!

But luckily, when it comes to our team co-op it all works
the other way around.

Not only do I take on all the risk of performance, place all
the ads, track all the ads, create all the marketing
material, and follow up with all the leads on the team's
behalf, but you also get something else . . .

My goal with every team co-op is to not only to improve upon
what we did the month before and leave you with little to no
risk, but I always want to ensure that you get MORE than you
put on the line.

So . . .

For this month once the co-op reaches over 40 shares sold I
will personally ensure that each and every member of the
team co-op get's more than they pay because once we hit that
mark I will personally put $600 of my own money into the
promotional pot to ad towards your marketing.

This means that for every member of the co-op that reserves
a share at $80 you will actually get $95 worth of
advertising done on your behalf.

Further . . .

If we reach our full cap amount of 50 shares reserved I
will personally add $1200 out of my own pocket to put
towards our co-op marketing fund.

I think I'm probably a little insane for putting myself out
on the line like this again, but it's worth ever cent of it
to me.

If I can help our team grow in any way shape or form I'm
doing it.

If it means putting a heck of a lot of my own money on the
line to do it I'm more than happy to do it.

Why?

When I tried network marketing the first time around on my
own and met with dismal failure with little real help I
remembered what it felt like.

I was the only one out there pushing for my success. I was
the only one putting my money on the line to try to improve
my life.

It was a very frustrating feeling to have to know that when
it came down to it I was alone.

Well you are not alone and as long as I am a member of this
team and you will never be alone on your path to success.

Let's make history together!

We are at about 25 shares reserved. Reserve your's now
before it's to late!

5. August Bonuses
   
   Guys have you checked out this months bonuses – they are the best I have ever seen. I want you to take a look at the special Director bonus on offer this month.
   
   If you’re a student there is the real possibility of earning a lot of money this month. Lets break it down. To become a director you need to have 10 people you have personally sponsored and for 3 of those people to have become a counsellor (they have signed 5 people themselves)
   
   Now if you really go for it this month this is what you are going to earn in one month.
   
   10 personal sign ups = 10x$20 = $200
   15 sign ups by your team = 15*$5 = $75
   2x2 bonus =$1000 (You should be able to get two of these)
   Director Bonus =$1500
   Total =$2775
   
   You will actually earn more than this as there are other bonus payments but I just want to illustrate that this is really the month you want to pull out all of the stops. If your brand new to the business or have been in for a while you need to know that people have become a Director in days so with massive action one month is very achievable.
