UPDATE: The Social Media Traffic Blueprint by Maria Andros, that I link to in this post, launches on 8th April 2009 at 1:00pm EST (USA). If you sign into Maria’s launch page from the link below you will receive access an hour earlier.
If you have arrived at this post after this time then the Twitter video may not be available. I will update the link when I have the new location but please do let me know if you have any trouble with accessing this great Twitter training. Ok on with my post …..
Anybody that’s worked with me in driving traffic through Social Networking sites knows that I looooove Twitter.
I may well be addicted to Twitter because it keeps social media super simple and it works. BUT there is right and a wrong way to use Twitter for Business. If you want results you need to position yourself correctly and obey the Twitter rules of engagement.
So how do you learn all of this? Well I learnt the insider secrets of Twitter from a true Social Media Marketing Rockstar – Maria Andros. Maria is a trusted mentor of mine and is known as the “Video Marketing Queen”.
Here’s a free video that Maria Andros just put online that teaches some of her most valuable techniques for Optimizing Your Twitter Profile to Drive Qualified Leads to Your Website (just opt-in on this page and you’ll be taken DIRECTLY to the video). Maria also has other Free Videos on how to Create Simple Videos that make you money that are packed full of content.
http://budurl.com/SMTB
Maria calls the video:
“How To Create A Twitter Profile That Makes You Money & Drives Qualified Leads To Your Website”
You won’t believe how much you can learn about how to leverage social media in 20 minutes. I’d estimate that this information is worth thousands of dollars in your business to you – if you use it. This video is full of amazing tips for how to market yourself , how to create a killer BIO that brands you- and MUCH more. All completley free of charge.
This page is for the launch of Maria’s new “Social Media Traffic Blueprint” and the value in the free videos gives you a good idea of the level of training that Maria offers.
Let me know what you think of the videos,

Yep that’s right I said “ridiculous guarantee” – but let me get to that in a moment.
The Renegade Professional Training System is, in my opinion, the ulitmate training program if you want to learn how to use attraction marketing and the internet to grow your online business. Period.
Our Renegade Marketer Review Blog contains lots of information on how we have utilised the Renegade Professional and Renegade University training systems to grow our income online.
In fact it was Mike Klingler’s training that enabled me to turn my business around from a cash swallowing, traditional MLM to a ‘new school’ network marketing business cranking out income at an ever increasing rate. I have recommended this training for over a year and have been privileged to watch the businesses (and lives) of several of our members be transformed by their implementation of this training.
Stepping this up a notch, Mike Klingler has joined forces with Ann Sieg, famous for her work “The Renegade Network Marketer“, to make Renegade Professional the Ultimate resource for “How-To” training on growing your business with internet based attraction marketing. Membership to the Renegade Professional has been closed while Mike and Ann upgraded the entire system. The exciting news is that the doors to Renegade Professional are just about to be opened again.
Renegade Professional opens for business on April the 2nd, 2009 at Midday (USA) EST
But an insider tip from me is that you can get access an entire hour earlier if you have already downloaded Ann’s newest e-book “The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto“. It won’t cost you a cent to download the book and you will be added to Ann’s VIP notification list for Renegade Professional. Plus you’ll will get complimentary access to trainings and additional resources.
I encourage you to download the Marketer’s Manifesto from this link and then you will get all of the lastest updates directly from Ann Sieg and a jumpstart on access to the Renegade Professional opening.
SO …. what’s this ridiculous guarantee?
As if the training in the Renegade Professional wasn’t valuable enough, Mike Klingler and Ann Sieg have just emailed me about a crazy guarantee they are offering to Renegade Professional members. Honestly I doubt that they will need to pay anybody this guarantee as their training is just “that good” – but nonetheless, I have never seen an offer like this behind any training.
Details are in Ann’s email to me below:
Mike and I are so confident our training
will work for you that we’re backing
it up with an unheard of guarantee.Listen carefully because you WON’T find
a deal like this anywhere else.EITHER YOU SUCCEED OR WE PAY YOU!
Go through the training and complete all the
action steps according to our instructions.If after 90 days you’re not generating free
leads for your business or leads that you’re
making a profit with…Let us know we’ll put you in our group
coaching program for another 90 days!Once you’re at this stage it’s often just
one little thing in your marketing that needs
to get fine tuned in order to start getting the
results you’re after.We’ll pick apart what you’re doing and
help you identify what needs to be fixed.If after that time you’re still not generating
leads at no-cost or a profit let us know and
we’ll not only refund you everything you paid…——————————————
WE’LL ALSO PERSONALLY CUT YOU A
CHECK FOR AN EXTRA $300.00 DOLLARS!
——————————————So let me ask you this, okay?
When was the last time you saw a networking
company guarantee your success like this?In fact, when was the last time you saw
anyone guarantee your success like this?This is how serious Mike and I are about
wanting you to succeed.And it’s how confident we are in our stuff!
You see, if we DON’T deliver on our end
we’re not only $300 in the hole…But we’re also out all the time we spent
working with you!Let that sink in for a minute.
If you go through all the training modules
and follow the action steps we give you…YOU WILL GENERATE YOUR OWN LEADS FOR FREE!
We absolutely guarantee it.
My advice is to download a copy of Ann’s “Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto“, jump on the early bird opportunity to join Renegade Professional and then get into action with your marketing and put Mike and Ann’s guarantee to the test!
What could happen? Well…. you could just get a thriving business like ours!
Have an Awesome Day

Mark and I are often asked for our recommended home business or more directly, “what business are you in?”. While we are happy to support marketers from any direct sales company to grow their home businesses with our training we do have a primary business that we promote. This business is Carbon Copy Pro.
For complete details on the CarbonCopyPro business and why we believe it is the ‘ULTIMATE internet based Home Business’, go to our website at www.CarbonCopy-Pro.com or click on the banner on the right of this page. I have also compiled an article that answers the most frequently asked questions on CarbonCopyPro and you will find the complete article here.
Below is a few of the major points to consider when investigating the “CarbonCopyPro Business”:
So What is the “CarbonCopyPro Business”?
Carbon Copy Pro is an automated, turn-key internet based marketing system promoting financial education and wealth creation products of Wealth Masters International.
How do I Get Started in a CarbonCopyPro Business?
1) Visit our Carbon Copy Pro website at: www.CarbonCopy-Pro.com and sign in with your name and email address.
2) After viewing videos and reading through the information you are prompted to submit an “Application”.
3) Once you have paid your application fee (see costs below) you can immediately access your application and submit this online. All new members are required to submit an application. Carbon Copy Pro see this as being crucial to weeding out the time wasters and also to helping you decide if a CarbonCopyPro business is really right for you.
4) The CarbonCopyPro call centre contacts all applicants to advise if your application has been accepted and answers any questions you may have. If you live outside of the USA or Canada they will usually contact you via email rather than telephoning you, but you still have full access to the call centre if you would prefer to speak to somebody and live web chat.
5) Once you Application has been accepted, your next step is to purchase Carbon CopyPro’s Business in a Box or BIB
6) As soon as you have purchased your CarbonCopyPro BIB you can access your ‘back office’ marketing suite and establish your account.
7) The CarbonCopyPro Marketing System then takes you step by step in setting up your membership profiles at both CarbonCopyPro and Wealth Masters International. Including setting up your websites, autoresponders and marketing system.
8 ) Your last step is to choose your initial product purchase from Wealth Masters International. It is not compulsory to purchase any of the WMI products to operate a Carbon Copy Pro business, but you will dramatically restrict your commission earning potential if you don’t purchase a WMI product.
Then you need to begin following the training provided in your CarbonCopyPro back office and start marketing your business. Your goal with your new business is to drive traffic to your websites and create leads that then go through the 8 step process above as well to become your new members.
So How Much Does it Cost to Start a CarbonCopyPro Business?
The following costs to set-up a CarbonCopyPro business are subject to change but are provided as a guide to expenses and quoted in US Dollars. All costs are shown as you progress through the application process at our www.CarbonCopy-Pro.com website
1) Carbon Copy Pro Application: $49 + shipping fees
The application is delivered digitally and lodged online. The shipping fees are for the “Inside Out DVD” and workbook by Jay Kubassek and Mike Dillard that is included in your application fee. An awesome DVD that usually retails for $149 online – so the application fee actually makes this a bargain.
2) Business in a Box (BIB): $395 + shipping The BiB includes 3 DVD’s on Developing a “Millionaire Mindset”, “Understanding Online Marketing” and “Web 2.0 Mastery”. The DVD’s are accompanied by two manuals – The first manual is designed to help you work on your mindset and goal setting to establish the foundation for your new business. While the Second manual is a substantial marketing course and plan to drive traffic to your new CarbonCopyPro website and also help you navigate the CarbonCopyPro Business back office and system.
Your BIB purchase price includes your WMI Annual Consultant Fee (regularly $99) and your first month’s payment for the CarbonCopyPro Marketing, Training and Support system (regularly $149). As a bonus you will receive a discount code for $400 off your WMI product purchase within your first 5 days of joining.
3) CarbonCopyPro Business System Membership: $149/month (1st month included in price of BIB) This monthly membership pays for all of your CarbonCopyPro Business websites, autoresponders, call centre follow up to to all of your applicants, extensive marketing training (tutorials, videos and live calls) and support.
4) Wealth Masters International Consultant Membership: $99 Annual Fee (included in BIB price) and $24.95-$49.95/month (dependent upon your level of membership).
5) WMI Product Purchase: Price varies dependent upon the product you chose. Wealth Masters Financial Wellbeing Training course (or Level 1) product is $1995. Remember too that you can access a Quickstart Discount of $400 from your BIB purchase if purchasing this product within 5 days of activating your account.
6) Marketing and Business Running Expenses – you dictate these based on the type and magnitude of advertising that you chose. You will definitely require a computer and good internet connection plus a reliable phone service to access training calls. Mark and I use Skype and highly recommend it.
Will a CarbonCopyPro Business Work For Me?
Honestly I believe that only you can answer that question. There are dozens of testimonials on the CarbonCopy Pro website and we now know first hand that it is possible to make an extraordinary income with a CarbonCopyPro Business.
A Six figure income in your first year is definitely possible if you get to work.
Only you can decide if it is the right business model for you and if you have the internal drive to succeed at a CarbonCopyPro Business, or in any business of your own for that matter.
My advice is to do your due diligence, complete the application process, and read the information on the website thoroughly.
If you have questions after you have been through the applciation process and website please do not hesitate to contact us.

Ann managed to dig out my “true story” and how ugly my business (and life) had become prior to working with her and Mike Klingler at Renegade Professional.

Have an Awesome Day – Zoe
Are you marketing your business on the internet? If so then you may already know that there are alot of ways to generate leads online – the options can be staggering and confusing (to say the least). If you have bowed to the Google gods for paid search advertising then you may also have discovered that online lead generation can be very, very expensive.
But it doesn’t have to be. There are affective ways to generate laser targetted leads for your business without ‘breaking the bank’. One of my favourite sites for lead generation online is SQUIDOO.
Squidoo is basically an article posting site on steroids. Rather than writing articles you can upload a variety of content to your own “lenses” – Squidoo’s fancy name for pages.
To find out my favourite methods of Web 2.0 lead generation checkout my Squidoo lens:
http://www.squidoo.com/internetmarketingfornetworkmarketers
I have just sent out the following information to my subscribers to alert them to a f.ree training by Mike Klingler from Renegade Professional. Mike shows you click by click how to maximise squidoo and many, many more methods for creating “Internet Real Estate”.
Thanks Mike – Just AWESOME!!!
Enjoy ….
Hi All If you've always wanted to attract your own leads and customers online but have been too confusedto even know where to start, this video is for you:
http://maz.attractionmarketingmanifesto.com/onlinerealestate/ There's a ton of information (AND misinformation) to sift and sort through online, but usually you have to pay for the really good stuff. Well, Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler are bucking this trend. They've just released ANOTHER free video and this time it's over 90 minutes of actual training from inside their new program, Renegade Professional. I have to tell you, I've purchased a lot of different online training courses before. Some of them good, some of them bad.

I encourage you to go watch both of them, follow along and actually DO what they're teaching you. Right now, today. The strategies they'll be sharing with you don't cost anything to implement.

You will have actually setup your first REAL marketing piece on the internet and will be in the process of generating leads and earning money. And if you've tried tons of online systems in the past and have never made a dime, you'll understand exactly why after you watch these (as well as what to do differently). Mike walks you through the process - one click at a time - of how to start promoting your own products and opportunity right away... not someone else's system. (There's not even anything for sale on this website and you could actually be getting calls from legitimate prospects about your business as soon as tomorrow by watching this.) He also shows you how to do it for different industries like health & wellness, legal services, and others (not to mention specific network marketing company examples). And both videos are totally free, so there's no reason not to check them out: http://maz.attractionmarketingmanifesto.com/onlinerealestate/ Have an Awesome Day, Zoe deLuca Internet Entrepreneur and Home Business Guide P.S. - You know, a lot of people are under the impression that they have to wait until they have a huge downline in order to experience the benefits of leverage and residual income. But you can start enjoying that right now. Go check out these free videos, follow along, and you'll be able to generate sales and leads for months and even years to come... All from just a few minutes worth of work today.

I love twitter – Ok I’ve become a bit of ‘twitter-holic’ but today I have a twitter dilemma!
First things first, if you don’t know what I am talking about – “what’s this Twitter thing you speak of?” – head on over to my twitter account – www.twitter.com/zdeluca
Twitter is social networking combined with a chat site that is taking the web by storm – seriously. Mike Klingler from the Renegade Professional has put together a video training series on Twitter that tells you everything you need to know about Twitter. You can get access to the Twitter training videos for free here:
Even if you are an experienced Twitter user I recommend these training videos to you (and feel free to share with your team).
Ok – so to my “Twitter Dilemma”.
On Twitter you connect with people two ways – they have the option to become “Followers” of yours and read your “tweets”. You can then chose to “Follow” others and see what they are tweeting about. Simple right?
The Dilemma comes from whether I should Follow everybody that Follows me? I’m a sociable person (that’s why I love Social media) so I have decided that if you follow me I will follow you right back. Suffice to say as long as you don’t use profanity, negativity or prejudice in your comments/profile then I’m interested in hearing what you have to say.
This has worked well for me in expanding my audience on Twitter to several thousand people and I have made connections with people from unexpected places and industires. I liked the fact that I was being a social “Twitterfly” and now use an automated service to follow everybody that is willing to listen into my tweets.
As my number of followers has grown however the number of replies has started to increase dramatically as well. Now I find I cannot possibly reply to every direct message I am receiving as there are just too many. I have limited my Twitter time each day and just enter the conversation that is going on at the time.
I was contemplating my navel about how many Twitter follwers are too many – or is there such a thing??? Should I follow everybody? DO I need to be more selective in who I follow? No that just sounds rude – doesn’t it? Why should people listen to me if I won’t ‘listen’ back? But what if I’m not responding to them – is that then rude? Ohh I’mmm not sure – I have a DILEMMA!
So right as I was pondering, the Twitterverse threw an email at me on this very subject. The message was from Mike Dillard, of Magnetic Sponsoring fame, an internet marketing mentor of mine. I have copied Mike’s email in full (below) and would love your thoughts, feedback, and of course, tweets on this subject.
Mike’s email:
I have a dilemma Zoe…
It’s been the source of an internal debate for a few weeks now, and I’d like to get your thoughts…
I’m talking about Twitter, and the single question that we must all eventually answer…
Do you follow someone just because they followed you? Or do you only follow people you genuinely know and want to follow?
Over the past few months, I’ve done both.
After talking to my good friend and social media maven, Perry Belcher, I decided to “reciprocal follow” everyone who was following me about two months ago.
There are two reasons you’d want to do this…
1: It’s polite.
2: It helps you gain exposure, which will help increase your number of followers.
As of today, I follow around 10,000 people, and have 11,900-ish followers at http://www.Twitter.com/Mike_Dillard
Looking back, I’m not convinced that was the best move to make, and here’s why…
It’s not the number of people who follow you on Twitter that matters, it’s the number of people who actually listen to you.
And if everyone is just “reciprocal following” everyone, not because they WANT to listen to that person, but because they’re trying to increase their exposure and number of followers, then we have a problem…
Everyone’s following everyone, but no one’s really listening.
When I had 8,000 followers and followed 50, I knew that all 8,000 people subscribed to my “Tweets” because they genuinely wanted to plug into my life, and hear what I had to say.
That’s no longer the case.
And it gets worse…
Once you follow 500+ people, you have to start using specialized software like www.TweetDeck.com, just to filter and manage so many messages.
And if you already use TweetDeck like me, you’ve probably set up a custom sub-list of real friends so you can separate all of their messages from the masses of people you don’t know.
How genuine is that?
In the end, reciprocal following simply dilutes the power of an application like Twitter because it’s a behavior that’s motivated by greed instead of authenticity, just so we can all enjoy the illusion of having “more followers”.
That doesn’t sit right with me, so after many days of thought, I’m going to do some surgery on my Twitter account and * gasp * “unfollow” the 10,000+ people I don’t truly know.
If you’re one of them, please do not take it personally. It’s not.
I’m sure I’ll lose quite a few people during this process, but that’s fine. If that’s what it costs to be authentic, then so be it.
And if you continue following me because you truly have an interest in what I have to say and offer, then THANK YOU. That’s what this tool is all about.
My Twitter address is http://www.Twitter.com/Mike_Dillard
In the end, I feel that any true “following” you build in your life should be based on providing real value, not the perpetuation of an illusion daisy-chained from one person to the next.
(If you feel strongly about this as well and would like to share this letter, you’re welcome to do so as you wish).
Sincerely,
Mike Dillard
Thanks Mike – I think?!?!? You made a clear argument for limiting who I follow to my selective handpicked group. BUT…. then I went to Twitter and read your post about starting to delete all your follows and re-establishing your list and I started thinking – “Hey Mike, if you delete me from the people you follow, does that mean that you don’t think I’m worth listening to?” In fact I tweeted you about it but the tweet hasn’t appeared in my Twitter stream so it appears I may already have bitten your “don’t follow dust”.
I extrapolated this further to how would my followers feel if I did this to them? And well…, I’m back to my dilemma because it doesn’t feel very well ‘good’. Granted there would be a thousand or so that probably wouldn’t even notice – these are the ones that Mike was talking about that just mass follow to build up numbers to blast their ads and links to. But what about the genuine ones? The ones that only tweet me very occassionally when they really would like me to ‘hear’ them? I’ve only sent tweets to Mike a couple of times and most of the time to thank him for sharing his knowledge or a great testimonial. Does that now mean I can’t do that? Infact my last tweet to Mike was to thank him for his ’soap box’ emails -that tell it like it is. So I guess this is another one of those!??!
Hmmm – call me old fashioned (or a sap) but I’m sticking with my “Follow Everybody Back” routine. If people are prepared to follow me then they are going to recieve my tweets. I think it’s only polite to do the same in return. If you slam me with ads or ideas I object to then I can, and will, hit that ‘unfollow’ button fast (I’ll probably add the block button as well).
As my follower numbers increase it will be interesting to see if I stick with my Social Party view of following everybody or if it just gets out of hand. I know @perrybelcher you seem to handle your massive list well and still keep everybody at ‘the party’ happy! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this issue!
Will I reply to every direct message (DM) that I receive – No. So please don’t be upset if I miss yours in the tweet stream. I will however enjoy reading as many of these as I can in my Twitter time each day and responding to some directly. Others I may just tweet about so the Twitterverse gets to share in your wisdom. If you want a reply then please tweet me with @zdeluca on the front of your tweet rather than sending me a DM. I will continue to use tweet deck and my tweet later auto follow function to handle my Twitter account. If you are currently following me and I haven’t follwed back – “tweet me up” about it!
If I want to persue a joint venture or relationship with you (talking buisness folks!) then I will tweet you my email address and we can connect that way. Otherwise stop by and say “hi” at Twitter. Better still tweet a link to this page (please) http://budurl.com/followornot
Oh and anybody that Mike Dillard is still following, @perrybelcher, @mikeklingler, @askDKlive, maybe even @mariaandros you can help me out here, please let Mike know I’m still following him and I appreciate all that he does for our industry – I just can’t reach him via Twitter any more. Which was the only way I had ever actually contacted him personally before.
Also please let Mike know the email was so great I shared it through my blog including live links because, once again, this is a stroke of Marketing Genius and I’m keen to see how many new “Followers” he gets on Twitter as a result.
If you don’t already subscribe to Mike Dillard’s marketing advice you need to. Go to his site and sign up (and get some great training as well) here: Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring
To everybody else follow me on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/zdeluca I’ll follow you back – yeah I will, well for now, oh yes I will – what a Dilemma! 
Tweet Soon!
Have an Awesome Day – Zoe
