The Magic Formula…Evergreen +1

I woke up to something I wouldn’t have believed a year ago…

Today TimTech paid out $1495 in affiliate commissions this week to our members which brought our totals to over $50,000 so far this year. Now I sit back and look at this and think to myself, it’s a pretty good example of how this whole Evergreen affiliate plan is working. Now we’ve added the whole concept of +1 and well…It’s going to be one heck of a finish for 2011!

You see, this business is NOT a sprint. It’s a marathon. And something we at TimTech have been screaming for is long term growth for businesses online. We are focusing on this…Call it the magic formula?

Evergreen +1

The main idea of this blog post is to show you that you do not need what the internet marketing world has been throwing down your throat for years…You don’t need a list of 10,000 people. You don’t need an ‘inner circle’…You don’t need a JV team…You need relationships with your members / downline / community…And you need a long term game plan.

Sure we like bumps. Everyone likes to ‘hit the jackpot’ once and while but folks, I cannot STRESS this enough…The real wealth in this business is long term residual income…Compounded using +1 over YEARS not weeks.

We are only in about month 9 or 10 of TimTech’s existence and we are doing the +1 model each and every day. We want those affiliate commissions to be over 100k in the spring time and we will make it happen.

You guys are the ones that have believed in this company’s vision and we cannot thank you enough. So here’s the the NEW formula for internet marketing success….Evergreen you business and Plus one everyday!

Awesome sauce!!!

The Biggest Joke In Internet Marketing

Launches!

Talk about a bunch of hot air. The entire ‘plan’ for years in the internet marketing industry has been…Launch a new program, get your buddies to help promote you, after the hype dies down in a few months, launch something new….Rinse and repeat.

There is no plans for growth of current websites, because these people know the quick bucks are in the launch of it. Big claims? Let’s break this down and look at it step by step.

A launch usually generates a lot of hype. And the most money in one sitting, so owners know that if they get enough of their friends and ‘JV partners’ to promote this, they can make a lot of money. The affiliates are happy too because of all the attention it’s getting so people are making money across the board. Everyone is happy.

But then something happens. This crazy concept and universal phenomenon called ‘time passing’. And when time passes, the hype goes away. And here’s where the bulk of the costs to the owner come in, lots of customer support issues (which costs money), lots of issues with scripts and maintenance (which costs money), and lots of actual hands on work to keep the program viable (which costs money and *gulp* effort*). This is bad in the owners eyes…

So why focus on all this work and maintaining of a program which is costing them money and effort…Why not just launch something new and get their ‘friends’ to do all the work and promote it. New money, less effort.

And the cycle repeats…

This has eaten away at the internet marketing industry, especially with the advent of social media, because now pissed off customers have places to vent and it’s not making Mr. IM Guru very happy….Have you noticed, there isn’t as many launches as there was a few years ago…The customer has spoken!

Now before I get lynched, YES, good new programs are being launched and yes I support these and will forever. However I’m very picky these days, because I’ve seen so many things I have supported in years gone by, have no value in this day and age. I learned my lesson and I apologize for anything that I have recommended in the past, that didn’t live up to expectations.

Not saying, I’m the be all end all of business (I have made my BULK of mistakes lol), but if I promote something these days, it’s because I believe in the real value to you, the member, not the benefit to the owner…

Thoughts? Comments? What do you think?
