Money Secrets

So, Mike Dillard is ready to release the Traffic Formula 2 training course to home business owners. Given that I’m such a huge fan of Mike Dillard and his Magnetic Sponsoring manual, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that I’m eagerly awaiting the release.

The original Traffic Formula blew me away but since then I’ve bought more of Mike’s stuff and honestly can’t think of anyone else who over delivers as much he does. And I know that every testimonial on every guru’s sales page says the same thing, but how often do you find it to be true after you’ve actually bought the product? The answer is probably ‘not very often, if ever’.

My only concern with the release of TF2 is that Mike is giving away the formula before you’ve even bought the course. I’m sure there’s method in his madness but I can’t help thinking that a lot of home business owners are going to watch the free training DVD and then put their business into overdrive without actually buying the course.

And have you seen the capture page? Have to admit it’s one very cool looking page.

But enough gushing from me. Why am I calling it The Total Home Business Training Course?

Because as much as Mike calls it Traffic Formula, he is sooooooo wrong. See, that title conjures up thoughts of how to get traffic. Nothing else. Just traffic. How to get it, where to get it, etc.

But this course isn’t just about getting traffic. It really is a blueprint for home business owners to start, build and explode their business dealings online.

And yes, of course that includes getting traffic. You’d be pretty stumped to try and build a business without it. But it isn’t just the traffic. It’s about you, your business, your reputation, your list, your relationships, your business blueprint.

If more home business owners invested in this type of training instead of chasing the holy grail of the next shiny ‘get rich quick’ scam, there’d be a whole lot more successful business out there.

And yes, I’m biased. I freely admit it. If it wasn’t for Mike’s teachings and his continued advice I wouldn’t be here writing this and you wouldn’t be reading it. I wouldn’t be waking up to money mysteriously appearing in my bank account while I slept. I wouldn’t know the people who’ve signed up to my list and gone on to become not just customers, but friends and business partners.

So do yourself a favour and get this course. Read it, study it, apply it. I’ll see you at the top.

One of the biggest frustrations for home business owners just setting up is the problem of information overload. There’s just too much on offer, and the time spent on searching for training on your specific learning needs is time spent away from actually growing your business. Which is why so many folks are tempted by the ‘ready made’ offers.

Maybe you know how to create a website, but you don’t know how to optimise it for the search engines. Maybe you need to know how to create articles, how to create videos, how to split test your capture pages, how to increase your traffic, how to start a blog, how to use social marketing to your best advantage, how to get more backlinks to your site… the list goes on.

And if you actually find what you’re looking for, it turns out that you can’t understand it because they’ve assumed you know certain other things that you don’t have a clue about! So off you go, looking for more training.

Home business training is a huge market in it’s own right. A very profitable ‘niche’ for those who’ve learned the skills already and are able to pass it on. And yet, instead of increasing the success of home business owners, the sheer abundance of training available usually results in paralysis and failure because it perpetuates the myth that you need to know everything before you can start earning money.

So how do you avoid it?

Well, I don’t know your personality and how you approach things so what worked for me may not work for you. But the best tips below will go a long way if not in helping you avoid information overload, to at least showing you where to start.

These steps may not work for everyone, but if you’re wanting to be a successful home business owner instead of a frustrated one, you need to figure out a way to avoid the information overload trap in your own business.

And here’s another tip. (Consider it a bonus ) Don’t be tempted to sign up for every guru’s list. Pick a couple who are experts in what you want to learn, and once you’ve learned what you need from them, unsubscribe and move on to the next one. Being on too many lists at one time is a guaranteed route to failure.

If you’re a total newbie then try and find an ‘all in one’ training programme that at least gives you all you need in one place. You may have to pay for it but it’s usually worth it for the time savings. Time you can spend on taking action and it’s action remember that’s going to earn you money. You can check out the newbie resources for what I consider some of the best options.

Alternatively, if you know what you’re looking for, and if you’re the kind of person who prefers to learn by watching, then check out the free video training site I put up for you. Just search for whatever you’re looking for and customise your training to your own particular needs.
