As internet marketers, we are always looking for drive traffic to our blog and affiliate websites.  Using social media is a good way to do this, but syndicating your content across the internet can be a daunting task.  There’s YouTube, Twitter, Linked In, and a host of other social media accounts!   Even if you are just marketing on Facebook, it can be a challenge to post your content to the industry standard of 20-30 groups daily.  You can either syndicate manually, which can take FOREVER, or use content submitters like Ping.fm or Onlywire.com.  In my opinion, Ramcage.com will take content syndication to the next level.

What is RAMCAGE?

RAMCAGE stands for Rapid Affiliate Marketing Cooperative Alliance of Global Entrepreneurs.  Ramcage is your own personal web portal. You can manage all your accounts with the push of a button. All you need is one login and one password. No more need for an excel spreadsheet of logins and passwords because there are too many to remember!

Syndicate to all of your Facebook Groups With the Push of a Button

Everybody knows that EVERYBODY is on Facebook! As stated above, it is an industry standard to post your content in 25-30 Facebook groups daily.  How long does that take you? How tedious is that? I know that I have skipped posting in groups many days because of this.  Not only is it tedious but, you have to be careful not to go too fast, or Facebook will think you’re a spammer. Let’s assume it takes you 1 minute per group – that’s 20-30 minutes gone. With Ramcage, You get to post to ALL the groups you want at the push of a button. Suddenly that 30 minutes worth of work is reduced to a snap! You also have access to your Facebook fan page. You never have to physically visit Facebook to perform these tasks. You can do it all from your Ramcage dashboard.

How cool is it to be able to manage these platforms from ONE place?  Sure, you can use other submitters to submit text, but to be able to submit videos and photos from Ramcage is something new and exciting!

Ramcage offers you the ability to manage when your content is submitted. With other submitters, you add your content and are left to their mercy as to when your content will show up. With Ramcage you can submit your content real-time OR you can pre-schedule it. Regardless, you control when your content is distributed for you to receive the maximum feedback from your target audience.

Get Paid To Use Social Media

Ramcage is a revenue-generating social media system. It is currently in Pre-Launch, and offers all the previous discussed services for $9 per month.  For $9 per month, you can post to all your Facebook Groups, your Twitter account, your LinkedIn account, your Blogger account, AND your YouTube account in a matter of seconds!  Once you’re a part of the Ramcage community, you can market to others. You get paid a commission based on your referrals. Soon the Ramcage compensation plan will not only DOUBLE the payout of the Current Ramcage plan, it will also extend the payout levels from 5 levels to 9.

Ramcage allows you to track marketing campaign results! You can tell what’s working and what’s not. You can make changes to your marketing based on the results Ramcage provides. It takes out the guesswork!

Ramcage is shaping up to be the next step in syndication tools. If you are like me, you are always looking for tools that fit into your budget.  For $9/month, it is affordable, even for the smallest pocketbook. Just the ability alone to syndicate to all your Facebook groups at once makes this tool that you definitely need in your marketing arsenal!

Trying to wade through the vast number of hosting companies on the Internet to find the gem that you want for your business can be a real pain. With so many of these companies setting up shop overseas, there are some out there that can take your money and deliver little in return.

They give you poor service with too much down time, customer service representatives who don’t care about the company’s reputation (or your business) and fees that keep going up.   I was fortunate to be a member of My Lead System Pro (MLSP) when I started looking for a hosting company for my blog 2 years ago.  MLSP highly recommends Hostgator because it was and still is the choice of most internet marketers.   I have been very happy with my service and have no desire to change.  This HostGator review will show you the difference one company can make in helping entrepreneurs with reliable hosting options.

The company was started by a college student who recognized the need for a hosting company that could offer more to its customers – one that would build a good reputation and create strong ties with the community.

Located in Houston, Texas, this company has proven over the years it’s been in business that they look out for their customers. With their 99.9% uptime, the management with HostGator knows what it takes to keep customers happy.

They’ve also streamlined the hosting process so that you don’t have to have your websites scattered with various hosting companies. They can handle everything you have and they give you unlimited space and unlimited domain hosting with most plans.

Three of their plans are the Hatchling Plan, the Baby Plan and the Business Plan. Most new businesses – especially Internet marketers just learning the ropes, choose to go with the Hatchling Plan, which does effectively meet their initial needs.

With the first one, you can get set up for only $3.96 a month if you pay for service for three years at a time. If that’s too long for you, then paying for it by the year is only $5.56 for the twelve months. The monthly plan for this one would be $7.16. They always have specials running, too – so be sure to check and see what current pricing is.

HostGator even offers a great way to make money by taking part in their reseller hosting plan. If you’re looking to start a business, then creating a web hosting company is easy to launch and it can be very profitable.

You can select what features you want to offer from your company and the only one who earns the profit from the reselling is you. It would be a shame in this HostGator review if the spotlight wasn’t placed on the company’s dedicated servers.

When your business grows, this is something you’ll want to invest in because you can have full control over your hosting environment unlike with shared servers. If you look at the plans HostGator offers, their willingness to give discounts, their determination to make contacting them a pleasant experience, then there really is no reason not to have your hosting needs served by them.

To Your Prosperity!

One Third  of 2012 is now drawing to a close with 8 more months to go.  It seems like it just flew by!  Are you where you want to be with your home business?  I am not where I want to be but I am also not where I used to be which is awesome!  Nevertheless, I know we would all like to finish out the rest of the year with a bang!  Below are 7 pointers for accelerating your home business success.

1.  Be Grateful for Life – Be focused on what you want but also be grateful for what you already have.  You don’t want to spend your life focusing so much on the negative that you can’t enjoy what’s good in your life.  Focusing on the positive aspects of your life will make you a much happier and more fulfilled person.

2.  Focus on what you have gained and not what you have lost. Even though you may have not accomplished all the goals you had set to accomplish at this point in time, focus on what you did accomplish.  I am sure that you will find that you accomplished much more than if you had set no goals at all.

3.  Take care of your body - As the old saying goes “If you don’t have your health then you don’t have anything.”  This is so true and we realize it more as we get older.  This is why it is so important to make sure you take time out to exercise, eat right, and get plenty of rest.

4.  Place your family first - Your business should never be more important than your family.  It’s great to have a huge bank account, but not at the expense of losing your spouse or have your children go haywire because you pay no attention to them.  Having wealth is not as enjoyable if you don’t have loved ones to share it with.

5.  Develop a team around you. Make sure that those in your inner circle are positive and uplifting.  Don’t listen to negative friends and family members.  Most of your friends and family are like crabs in barrel.  They are broke and they want to keep you down with them.  I am not saying to abandon your friends and family, just don’t take business advice from them.  Find people that are where you want to be financially and listen to them.

6.  Determine your personal faith. Whatever higher power that your believe in, plug into it.  You will need this as you are going through the struggles of building your business.

7.  Make the most out of difficult situations. We all face different challenges in our lives.  If you are in a difficult situation right now, just remember that it is only temporary.  Always remember the saying “And this too shall pass”.   5-10 years from now you will look back and realize that it wasn’t that bad.  Especially when you have achieved financial success and freedom.

These are just 7 pointers for accelerating your home business success. These pointers are not just good for business, but also for life.  I am sure that you could think of a few more.  Please share them in the comment section below.

When building a home based business it crucial that you follow the 6 keys to success that I have listed below.  The reason that you should take head it that you want your home based business to truly be a business and not just a hobby.  You must remember the reasons why you started your business and following these 6 keys will be easy for you.

1.  Build a business for the long term. – In your day to day business your are going to face obstacles.  This is not something that is just unique to business.  Having problems are a part of life.  You will have road bumps and challenges.  Don’t give up on your business just because of this.  It is a part of the journey.  You can’t be “just trying this thing out for 30 days.”  You have to think long term.

2.  Be aware of the emotional rollercoaster. – In the beginning of your business you will go through the emotional rollercoaster.  One minute you are up and one minute you are down.  You are excited one minute and the next minute you are not so excited.  You can come out a meeting or webinar for your primary company and you are “jacked out of your mind!”  You then call your friends and family and they think that you are crazy and you are back down again.  Just realize that this is normal and that everyone goes through it.

3.  Make a decision that you are going to be a leader. All the rewards happen once you become a leader.  You don’t need to know how or what to do.  Once you make the decision that you are going to lead, then the universe will rise up to help you.

4.  Get to work. Get busy trying to find out what you need to do to move the ranks in your primary business and just do it!  The alternative is the 40/40/40 plan.  Work for 40 years for 40 hours a week only to retire on 40% of your income.  Instead, put your all into the next 5 years in your home business and be able to retire and not have to work or worry about money.  What you have to realize that you are compressing 40 years of work into 5 years and that is going to take some commitment and dedication.

5.  Enjoy the process. Whether you in the learning stage or a seasoned pro, enjoy whatever stage you are in right now.

6.  Save your money. If you are going  to become wealthy you need to have money saved.  You don’t want to make tons of money only to spend it on toys that you don’t need.  I’m not saying that you should not have fun with your money but don’t break the bank by living beyond your means.  Always pay yourself first no matter how much money you make.  If you can’t save when you make a small amount then you will not save when you start to make the big money.

I hope that these keys to success will help you as you build your home business!

Everyone knows that I love quotes.  It is something about the wisdom of the words that inspire my spirit.  Well I decided to take a break from the network marketing quotes that I usually find to celebrate love this Valentine’s Day. I hope you enjoy.  Please tell me which one is your favorite!  Also share one that you might have.

5.  “Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end. – Germaine De Stael

4.  “True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself.  It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart – Honore de Balzac

3.  “Love doesn’t make the world go round, Love is what make the ride worthwhile.” – Franklin Jones

2.  It is with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye -  Antoine de Saint – Exupery

If you are taking the time to read this then you must be a person that is concerned about being healthy and you are considering becoming a distributor with Akea Life.  I commend you on doing your due diligence.  In this review I will cover the company, products, compensation plan, and whether or not  Akea Life seems like a legitimate network marketing business.  I would also like to let you know that I am not a distributor with the company so you can rest assured that this is a true third party review.

Who is Akea Life?

Akea Live was founded in 2010 and is based in Raleigh, NC.  The company provides health and wellness products through the network marketing model.  The company is lead by William King.  Mr. King was inspired by longetivity hot spots – In these hot spots the people live longer than anywhere in the world.  Mr. King has held numerous executive positions including President and CEO of 900 Solutions Inc, President and CEO of Voice Tel of Austin, and Business Manager of Capital Ford.  He is also a highly knowledgeable health and wellness advodcate.

Akea Life’s Product

Akea Essentials is the first and only supplement based on longevity hot spots. Akea Essentials comes in the form of a powder that can be mixed with water or juice.  Essentials is a combination of herbs, spices, grains, whole foods, probiotics and fibers.  Essentials is made with 90% organic ingredients and is free of gluten, yeast egg, preservatives, sweeteners, dairy, salt, starch, and artificial flavoring.  This product is supposed to be good for increasing energy, immune system support, digestion, mental clarity, and it also prevents joint pain and helps with weight management.

Cost and Compensation Plan

You can join Akea Life at 3 levels with the lowest entry point being at $79.  Each package includes marketing tools, business tools, and a personal Akea website.  The compensation plan is a binary structure with one leg on the left and one leg on the right.  Akea Consultants can earn retail profit, team commissions, and various bonuses. Commissions and bonuses are paid weekly.

Is Akea Life a Good Network Marketing Opportunity?

Health and wellness is a becoming a booming  industry because people are becoming more aware of their health and about what they put in their bodies.  Akea Life seems like a good opportunity because they are in this field and they have set themselves apart by basing their supplement ingredients on the diets of people that live in longevity hot spots.  With all that said it is still not enough for you to be successful in your business.  You still must have a way to get team members into your business once your friends and family run out.  This is why I recommend that you use a marketing system to help you generate leads and help you make money even when prospects say no to your business.  If you combine online attraction marketing and traditional offline marketing techniques, then the sky is the limit for your success!

Nothing beats the excitement you feel when you first start to make money online. Ever since I got my first computer I have dreamed of being able to make a six figure income from home.

My motivation has always been simple. I want the freedom to live life on my own terms.  To be able to do what I want when I feel like it. I want to feel the security of having a regular income. Finally I want the spending power to be able to buy what I want and go where I want. Not much to ask.

I now know that I went by the long route when I set out to learn how to make money online. I wasted an enormous amount of time, energy and money on learning things I didn’t need to know and doing things that are a complete waste of time.

The most annoying thing of all was that the gurus who are reaping the amazing rewards of their success are so poor at showing others how they do it. However, they are very good at charging a lot for their information and then making it hard to understand what they mean.

Here are the lessons that I have learned. I consider that they are the real secrets of making money online.

First, start with a niche market.

I know this is different from how people do things in the real world, but in cyber space this is the best place to start. The easiest way is to pick on a group of people just like you. People with whom you share a problem.

Second, find a product that solves their problem.

There are millions of them out there.  I use a funded proposal called MLSP or My Lead System Pro.  This system teaches frustrated marketers how to make money on the internet and has affiliate programs built in that provide income while your are building your primary business.

Third, build a blog about your niche.

By doing this you will be seen as an authority in the whatever niche you choose and this will help you build credibility.

Fourth, drive traffic to that web site.

There are many ways you can do this: Social Media, Article Marketing, PPC, Solo Ads, Banner Advertising, etc.  Just be sure that you master one or two marketing techniques before you move on to learn any new ones.

Imagine my excitement when, by simply applying this formula, I started receiving e-mails saying: “Congratulations, you have a new team member or You just made a sale!”

The excitement grew when I went to my online bank account and saw the money sitting there, right under my name.

And the excitement reached fever pitch when the ‘congratulations’ e-mails started coming in ever-increasing numbers.

My advice is simple; don’t wait, use the simple formula I’ve outlined, be consistent in your marketing efforts and you will be sure to reap the rewards!

As an entrepreneur building your business can be no easy feat.  You have to be able to handle every obstacle that comes along and not let challenges stop you.  You have to be willing to take risks, goal oriented and willing to work until the job gets done.  There are certain traits that all entrepreneurs have in common and below I have listed my top 8.

8.   Entrepreneurs associate themselves with other successful people. Many time when we start off in business we find ourselves jealous of others that are more successful than us.  That is because we have always been taught to have a poverty mindset.  We must re-train our mind to have an abundance mindset so we can realize that we can have the same things that other successful people have.  So go ahead and surround yourself with others that are successful because it will help you to grow.

7.   Entrepreneurs mastermind together. Entrepreneurs can mastermind in a challenge (like the 100 Day Biz Builder Challenge) or at an event (like No Excuses Summit 3) or in an internet marketing community (like My Lead System Pro).  It does not matter how you master mind just so long as you do it.

6.   Entrepreneurs are coachable. Entrepreneurs are receptive to constructive criticism.  They know that it can only help them to get better at what they do.

5.   Entrepreneurs invest in their education. You should not be afraid to learn new things whether it’s by reading, attending a webinar, or attending a live event.  You don’t know what it is that you don’t know.   You may learn just one nugget and that nugget may be worth 10xs more than what you spent.

4.   Entrepreneurs know when to ask for help. You should know what you are good at.  Do those things yourself, but outsource the things that you don’t know because that will save you a lot of time, money and energy!

3.   Entrepreneurs manage themselves, their time, and their business well. You should always make sure that you do what most important first and then do the things that are not as critical.

2.   Entrepreneurs are not afraid to share their knowledge. Many times we are afraid to share the latest marketing technique that we have found.  There is no need for this because 95% of the people you show will not take action.  By sharing what you know you are able to connect the 5% that will take action.

1.   Entrepreneurs have a strong work ethic. That is why many of us don’t get much sleep.  There are so many things on our plates and not enough hours in the day to get them done.  That is why you must set a schedule for yourself and use a system to help you through your daily tasks as you build your business.

These are my top 8 traits of an Entrepreneur.  I know that I did not get them all.  Please comment on any that you feel I have missed.

“Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them.”

- William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, Scene i (58-90)

Hamlet may not have been talking about network marketing, but his words do apply. Almost every network marketer has experienced the “slings and arrows” of the naysayers, those often well-meaning friends and relatives that stand in the way of our making an “outrageous fortune!” Experienced network marketers, clothed in the armor of past success, are less vulnerable to outside influences. The new distributor, however, is vulnerable, and that “sea of troubles” can act as a barrier to reaching their true potential.

What did the knights of old do to prevent an injury? That’s right – they armed themselves. Their armor was heavy and cumbersome, and they needed a squire to help them prepare for battle. Well, the same is true for your new distributors. While the armor they must use is less cumbersome than that of the knights, you must help them arm themselves for success. In other words, you must be their squire.

What do I mean by “arming for success?”

When a new distributor joins your network marketing organization, they are moving into an environment that demands strong armor. There are a lot of “slings and arrows” that can hurt their chances for success and create a sea of troubles — of doubt, disbelief, even failure.

As Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert T. Kiyosaki points out, most people in this world are afraid to experience success. They are held back by negative thinking, and consequently suffer the pain of mediocrity. Because they have not been armed for success, and are more focused on security and survival, they subject themselves to a life of servitude and poverty and being someone else’s employee.

Arm your new distributors from negative thinking and potential disaster. How? By understanding why so many people are negative about network marketing and the prospects of the success it can bring.

Let’s face it. There are a lot of people out there that do not want you to become successful. When you are successful, you point out the lack of success in their lives. When you take away any excuses they’ve been hanging onto and you force them to look at their lives as they really are, it makes them very uncomfortable. You’ve heard of the expression “Misery loves company.” Well, it’s true.

Doug Firebaugh, network marketing guru, calls it the “Unspoken Understanding,” which is simply the silent agreement that most people have with each other, namely “don’t mention my mediocre life, and I won’t mention yours.” Your success and the success of your new distributors, just points out the naysayers’ mediocrity.

Leaders help others. If you are going to be successful in network marketing, you must arm your new distributors against people who will try to convince them their business won’t work.  Show your downline you want them to be successful. Encourage them. Show them how the most successful network marketers have achieved their success, and teach them to model those attitudes, habits, and actions. Remind your distributors that they are the CEO of their lives. Arm them with the power of positive thinking so they don’t let others live their lives for them with their negative attitudes.

To paraphrase Hamlet, by opposing negative thoughts, we end them.

It’s that time once again my friends for the Top 10 quotes of the year.  Here are my favorite from the past year!   Feel free to leave a quote that you love in the comments!

10. ‎”My whole life I have never stopped dreaming. We all have dreams, but here is what is different about dreams today: Now is the time to dream big, because even during tough times like these, you can still make your dreams happen. I know there’s a lot of pressure outside, inside — economic pressure, social pressure. Remember, pressure can crack pipes. But it can also create diamonds.” – Russell Simmons

9.  ’Discipline yourself to do the things you need to do when you need to do them, and the day will come when you will be able to do the things you want to do when you want to do them!’ – Zig Ziglar

8. ‎”It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because… All that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.” - Mark Cuban

7.   ‘The simple act of commitment is a powerful magnet for help. The moment we commit and quit holding back, all sorts of unforseen people, events and circumstances will rise up and assist us.” – William James

6. ‎”My advice has always been to “think positive” and find fuel in failure….One day you might look up and see me playing a game at 50, don’t laugh. Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion”. - Michael Jordan

5. ‎”Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” – Abraham Lincoln

4. ‘TRULY, “thoughts are things,” and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches, or other material objects” – Napoleon Hill

3. ‎”You never can tell what a thought will do in bringing you hate or love. For thoughts are things, and their airy wings are swifter than carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe, each thing creates it’s kind. And they are spread o’er the track to bring you back, whatever went out from your mind. - Ella Wheeler Wilcox

2. “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle… when the sun comes up, you’d better be running!” – African proverb

1. ‘ When you are doing BIG things, you become a BIG target! No matter what is thrown at you, have faith and keep moving forward. Remember… it’s hard to hit a moving target!’ – Unknown
