We are going to try something new this year. The last week of each month we will spend some time working together on advertising. For January that falls on the 31st. If you have not yet upgraded in the Grand Retirement Plan, for the first two existing members that upgrade The Grand Retirement Team will spend one half hour each advertising your link during the training session.
Take action, do the upgrade and get some help advertising your link.
Remember we have the referral contest going on, we want to help you get your referrals and give the prize money away.
We will be offering other incentives for current upgraded members to have your link advertised as well, so stay turned and make 2011 the best year of your life.

How to Build a List of Prospects to Market to
A couple of months ago after promoting my websites with mixed results
using safelists and traffic exchanges I decided to concentrate on
building traffic first. After all, it's no secret that traffic equals
prospects which equals sales.
I joined Traffic Hoopla, which is a free traffic builder, not a traffic
exchange. There is an upgrade which I do suggest but it's not neccesary
to reap the benefits of this program.
Traffic Hoopla exists to build traffic. Traffic building is important,
no essential, to a successful online business. The goalis to build
ongoing daily traffic and I strongly reccomend building traffic first,
then your business.
There's no such thing as overnight success, but after 2 months of daily
promoting my Traffic Hoopla site I'm getting 6-8 signups per week.
I'm also getting signups with the safelists and traffic exchanges I've
joined that generate more hits to my Traffic Hoopla site. This now
gives me a list of prospects that I can market my primary business to.
Each week Traffic Hoopla independently tests and lists the current
best advertising resources and ranks them based on stats.
You can also earn referral awards. Although it's not required, you
are rewarded for referring others mostly by a percentage of traffic
they earn, and often, commissions,and if they refer others you get
more traffic.
Although all the TE's and Safelists are free to join I did upgrade at
EuropeanSafelist. It's only $7 a month and rewards you with credits,
500 opt-in leads a month and an autoresponder. I felt it was a real
good investment for the cost.

Continuing to Grow!
Well it has been a couple weeks since we did an update on what's happening here at The Grand Retirement Plan!
We launched on August 3, 2010. Since then, we have a team of over 200!
It is wonderful to have so many join us!
We have been granted use of the F5M-MC training room for some really intense marketing training . Currently, we are reviewing some of the social and business networking web sites that GRP endorses on our membership site.
Don't worry if you know nothing about these sites, they will all be reviewed in our Monday Trainings.
We began with AdlandPro and will end when we have gone through every program. We want our members to be able to participate in the best programs available today!(don't worry, our training won't stop there. This is just the beginning!)
Our training for next week will be some in depth classified ad posting! Brenda will be hosting this and we will all have ads to post!
In our experience, classified ads, social networking and forum posting are the best marketing techniques for targeted, interested traffic to your opportunity. We have chosen the best places that we have found, but don't be afraid to look for others. There are many good forums and classified posting sites. If you have a question about a site you are thinking of joining and posting to, please ask.
Here is a tip, most opportunities and tools you sign up for, have a forum. Check them out! Read the rules for posting to see if you are able to use links in your signature. If you can, by all means, sign up and learn about the opportunity or tools and participate in some conversations!

Building and joining a team
When some marketers have learned and earned a lot, they often like to share the wealth and get a group together and show them just how they achieved success.
An option for getting the word out and showing others how you became successful is to start a team of internet marketers that would like to achieve the same success.
Building a team takes dedication, determination, and a plan of action. There are many ways a team can be built. A membership site is a common tool that many online team builders use. The site will need a good script, training material, planning, and members who know how to set everything up.
Some teams start as small groups getting together to discuss advertising strategies and business goals. This can often blossom into a full blown project. Members are added as successes and milestones are crossed. If a new team needs to know how to work with membership site scripts and set up, the team will seek out and invite members with those skills.
As the team grows, so will membership. As more members join and begin working toward the same goal, the team will see more success. Each member of a team has a responsibility to do whatever you can to promote, support and help your team reach specific goals. Attend meetings, and trainings. Participate in groups and forums. Show team loyalty whenever possible. The more visible the team is as a unit, the better results for everyone on the team.
It takes a lot of hard work and determination to create a successful internet business. It can be easier to work as a team. Goals can be met faster with several members working together. There are so many opportunities available online to earn an income. Once you find that opportunity, are successful, share your experience, and grow your business even bigger by creating and nurturing a team to success.

Team Growth and Organization
As a team grows and develops, they begin to work as a single unit. Each supporting the other and linking together to complete a puzzle. Once all the pieces are linked, the puzzle is complete. Complete Success is what a team strives for. It can take some time to locate the right pieces to complete the puzzle.
If the team's main focus is internet based, the entire team needs to be visible. An internet team will most likely have programs and opportunities that they participate in and use. When new members join, they need to become familiar with and active in those programs and opportunities.
As new members join, the team presence will grow. Unified activity will produce good results as a team grows and becomes organized. To be successful and grow, a team should work together in a few carefully chosen social networks and forums.
Once the team organizes and begins to show a more unified presence, they will become more visible to others looking to join a successful team. In a social setting, all members of a team will have different connections.

A Little Blogging Lesson
Blogging is an important part of earning an online income. Google Blogger, and WordPress are the most popular blogging platforms. Both are excellent for blogging, if you set it up for success. New blogs or existing blogs, there are some things that you shouldn't forget to include!
Don't rely on another marketers blog! While it is a good thing to comment and participate on other blogs, that should not be the only way you blog. Set up your own blog, with your own ideas and topic. If you only participate, you will make others money, but not yourself.
Don't be all over the place. Focus, focus, focus! Focus on one topic. Find your niche and stick to it. If you happen to find another interesting topic, simply start another blog. What will bring you income and traffic is focus.
