An Apology

May 30, 2014

First I want to apologize to the current owner of the space where I "rent" for the bike shop. 

I mentioned in my last blog that I was considering moving the bike shop to a more suitable location and some reasons why I felt that might be a good idea.  After re-reading what I had written I realize that I probably should have worded it differently. 

By the way I also considered the possibility of finding someone to run the bike shop part time on the days I am working and leaving it right where it is at.  I have considered buying a portable building and moving the stuff from the shop into that. I have considered many things and will keep trying to figure out what is the best way to go. It is probably going to be a rather difficult transition to go from being able to just run out to the shop anytime I want to having a full time job that takes up 40 plus hours per week. It has even been rough with working around my current work schedule but so far we have made it work. It will take some effort but we will get through it if it is meant to be.

You see I do really enjoy working on the bikes, I enjoy talking with the people about the bikes, I enjoy helping people solve their bike problems and I do enjoy running the bike shop.  I even had a lot of fun putting that Chinese Bicycle Motor on a bike and making it go, which is one reason I mentioned a more open space. The smell of the gasoline from the Gasoline Motor and the smell from various cleaners and such that I use can get pretty intense so working outside or in a more open area could be advantageous.

One good thing I found out from this though is that at least one person actually reads the blog, I was kind of wondering about that.

Bible Verse from Devotional:

  1 I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. 2 I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself. 3 You said, "I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David my servant, 4 'I will establish your line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.' " "Selah" 5 The heavens praise your wonders, O LORD, your faithfulness too, in the assembly of the holy ones. 6 For who in the skies above can compare with the LORD? Who is like the LORD among the heavenly beings? 7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him. 8 O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you. 9 You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them. 10 You crushed Rahab like one of the slain; with your strong arm you scattered your enemies.

Why I am an Internet Marketer

March 29, 2014

Psalms 54 1-7

1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. 3 Strangers are attacking me; ruthless men seek my life-- men without regard for God. "Selah" 4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. 5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy them. 6 I will sacrifice a freewill offering to you; I will praise your name, O LORD, for it is good. 7 For he has delivered me from all my troubles, and my eyes have looked in triumph on my foes.

May I ask a question of anyone reading this before I actually get into the "meat" of the blog?
What is your take on me sharing a bible verse with each post?  I have a book that was written by many preachers from many Churches including an excellent Pastor by the name of Brad Bowen from Heritage Church right here in Moultrie Georgia, it is a Daily devotional and the verse you see at the beginning of each blog is the verse for that day.  Ruth and I have been married for 43 years, it will be 44 in September and through this life the lord has come to our aid many times. I hope no one minds, but I do plan to keep sharing a verse with you and I do hope you read it. Each verse also has in the book a short explanation by a Pastor, and if anyone would like I will be happy to share that as well, just leave a comment here on the blog and I will be harpy to share.

I operate a small bicycle shop here in Moulrie Georgia, I love the bikes and the people that ride them, have a lot of fun but make very little money at the shop. I have some idea on promoting the shop on the Internet and stuff like that. I am slowly getting all that set up. I have a website for the bike shop and I do drive some traffic there, but have not really been actively working on that site for a while. I am however Marketing some other programs (2) on the Internet.

I don't really care for MLM or Network Marketing, not that it is a bad way to go but it is really not cheap and it does take a long time to get a decent amount of followers to actually begin to make a profit, I know you are always told about the people that join an MLM and make money in the 1st 24 hours are have been in for 2 months and are making 50,000.00 a month or some other unbelievable story. I have found that these are usually either outright lies or there were a bunch of circumstances you are not being told on how these people dis these extraordinary feats.

I have promoted as many as 7 different programs at the same time, have over 6000 names on a mailing list and have sent out literally millions of ads over the last several years. I heard a very smart, very wealthy marketer the other day that spoke about "laser targeting" and trimming the fat off your marketing efforts and I realized that I was exactly the person he was speaking about. I decide right then to look at all the programs I was in and take the ones I felt the best about and just promote those, in fact I decided to simply drop out altogether of 5 of the 7 I was trying to promote. So as of today I am only promoting 2 programs, both are Matrix type marketing systems and I really feel these are the best 2 programs for me. Does that mean they are the best programs for you? I would say NO. You have to look at the programs you are in, decide if they have the potential you want, decide if you enjoy the program enough to want to promote it and if you are actually using the program yourself. If you are not using the program, why would the people you sponsor. If the people you sponsor don't use the program how are you going to make any money by promoting and recruiting?

1 thing I have noticed is that many people think they can simply place a few ads, and people will sign up, then even if the do get a few sign ups which is not likely they never contact the people they sponsored and after a while they drop out. If you sponsor someone or recruit someone my advice would be to make sure to contact that person, welcome them to your group, help them and even keep in contact with them, send them an email every day, give them a call once or twice a week for the first few weeks, ask them what you can do to help them. 4 of the 5 programs I dropped in the last 2 weeks I did not even know who my sponsor was. I know who my sponsor is in both of the 2 programs I decided to keep. I am still of course going to keep the bike shop which I own, but I also know the 2 people that are my sponsors in the programs I decided to keep. 1 is Gareth Morgan and the other is Redd Daniels, both of these people have contacted me before and after I joined the program they were promoting.  If you friend me on Facebook here  you will see that I share posts from both of these marketers. Redd really likes to send out some Inspirational posts.  I may start doing that.

One other very good Internet Marketer that I really have liked and worked with some over the years is a man out of Trilby Florida named Mark Hendricks, I have learned a lot from Mark and you will notice that I share a bit of his posts also. 

Just in case anyone wants to know here are the 2 programs I decided to keep promoting the first My Sponsor is Redd Daniels an it only costs 1.75 to get started, and you have the potential to make a good amount of money from it paid directly to your pay pal or other similar account click here for details

My sponsor is Gareth Morgan in the second program and is a really great program that is getting better all the time. They just introduced a Silver Upgrade, but even without that it was a great program. Th really neat thing about this program is that you can use it to promote any other program or you can make it a "business" in itself and use it to promote it. Here is the link for it 

One thing that I will do is contact you as soon as I hear you have joined ad I will do whatever I can to assist you in promoting your links as well as help you with ads and will even mention you on my blogs, welcome you to forums etc. I like to be helpful and involved, so if you want to join a program where I am the sponsor you can expect a call on your phone, some emails and texts and I will do whatever I can to help you become successful. I will not build your program for you, I will not do all the work for you, but I will do everything I can to help.

Hope you have enjoyed this and that you will comment on my blog and rmablings here.

Have a great and blessed day
