It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that I’ve been completely absent for a big hunk of the summer.

No blog posts, no articles, not announcements of any kind.

I’ve had some family stuff going on that’s kept me away from my office and out of phone contact for a few months… which also means that I haven’t been able to return calls or keep in touch the way I would like to (Sorry about that!   ).

Family comes first.  I hope you understand.

On the other hand, the summer’s circumstances have brought a lot of clarity to my business and how I’ve been doing things.  You see, I normally spend a lot of time giving out free help, coaching, and advice to people trying to earn a living online or in their home business… much of it by phone.

Although I really enjoy the interaction and the opportunity to help others, I often answer the same questions over and over again.  In addition, spending so much time doing phone consultations leaves me very little time to do other things in my business.

And that’s what got me started on my latest project.

I wanted to find a way to continue to help others start and grow their businesses and provide one-on-one business coaching and mentoring without being tied to a phone all day (That gets old fast!)

Searching for an answer to that specific problem really started the whole ball rolling on a new community based website that I’ve developed specifically for both opportunity seekers and for those looking for help and training.

Although it just launched today, I designed it to be an all-in-one solution that uses attraction marketing to educate new prospects, get new business leads, recruit new team members, train new recruits, provide duplication, and teach people how to build their business online step-by-step.

I know — it sounds like a mouthful.

So I hope you’ll stop by and check it out for yourself.

At the very least, stop by the forum and introduce yourself!

Here’s a quicky post about a new article I posted on Escape Your Cubicle.

It’s called, “Why Your MLM Distributor Website Does Not Work” and it talks about why thos distributor websites don’t really work and what kind of website you should really be using to promote your network marketing business.

You’ll never get any tangible results as long as you’re depending on those company websites to make your sales and build your downline… so check out my article for more information about what you can do about it.

Today I took some time to create a new Hub for One Team Global… that’s one of the marketing groups that I’m working with in my new Nu Skin business.

What I really like about this particular marketing group is that they really have their act together.

One Team Global already has all the basic training for newly sponsored NuSkin reps in place… and that makes my job soooo much easier as I sponsor new people into the business.  I can spend 100% of my time working with my team on internet marketing and skip all the other stuff.

It’s awesome!

The reason that I bothered to create a hub is that it’s just another way to get my information out in the search engines and get more traffic and leads… simple as that!

Anyway, click the link if you’d like to take a look at my One Team Global Hub.

I took a long three day weekend off — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the end of last week.  We had a big weekend of Girl Scout Thinking Day, Boy Scout Pinewood Derby prep, church, etc.

Whew… sometimes I have to go back to work just to get a break sometimes!

Just kidding!  I am truly blessed to be able to take time off to do these kinds of special things with the kids.

Today I’ve been working on my Aweber autoresponders. To be more exact, I’ve been adding more great content to the backend of the autoresponder for my lead capture page at www.MLM-Genius.com.

The idea with this particular autoresponder series is to provide great information that gets people back to my website regularly and to build trust and credibility with the great content I provide.

The end game with this list is to sponsor people into either my Nu Skin or FDI business or to point them to great products where I’ll get an affiliate commission.

It’s a profit funnel that works really well!
