Slippery When Wet

Sometimes the pavement can be slick. When the roads are wet it is easy to lose control. If you are not careful you could find yourself heading right for the ditch - YIKES!

Whenever we start out on a new endeavour, some might call us Rookies or Newbies while others say we are "Wet Behind The Ears." If you find yourself wet-behind-the-ears in your new Home Based Business it is best to take things slowly. A little due diligence and self analysis will go a long way towards helping you reach your destination. Acheiving your goals will be inevitable if you take your time and do it right.

There are precautions you can take to keep your Home Based Business from sliding into the ditch. Ask yourself a few questions before you charge full speed ahead.

Is a Home-Based Business really right for me?

This may be a hard pill to swallow but, if you are the type of person who goofs off whenever the boss is not around, you may not be a good candidate for a home based business. I personally prefer the term Working For Yourself rather than Working From Home because it reminds me that I am the boss... of me! Everyday you should ask yourself, "If this were a real business would I be fired?" Self-discipline will be vital to your success.

Am I willing to learn before I act?

All too many times, we charge full steam ahead with our blind ambition. Prepare to spend some time on training. Conference calls, forums, blogs, members areas as well as personal and professional associations can help you tremendously. Do not fall for every slick sales pitch at the drop of a hat. Read between the lines to wade through the hype. Most importantly, Ask Questions. The only dumb question is the one that is not asked. Do not be embarrassed to seek knowledge. A good quality mentor will always be eager to educate and assist you as you get started.

What is my time and money budget?

I hate to burst your bubble but, there is no magic program you can simply join for free and wait for money to start showering down on you from the heavens. There are sites out there that may give you this impression but again, you have to learn to sift through the hype. Is it possible to make a fortune online? Yes, absolutely! But, it will not happen over night. Just like everything else in life, you will get out of it what you put into it. In any business, whether online or offline, there will be start up costs and ongoing costs. The beauty of the Internet is that these costs can be kept to a minimum.

Of course there are many more question to be answered but these should help to get you headed down the road safely. There may be some wet roads winding through the hills and valleys but if you map out your journey properly you will arrive at your destination safely.

Rush Hour Traffic

Driving through rush hour traffic can be such a pain! The biggest part of the 'pain' is simply the fact that you have to be in the rush hour traffic in the first place.

As I trudged through my rush hour ritual I could not help but think about how awesome it would be to have that kind of massive traffic going to my website. You have to admit, that would be awesome wouldn't it?! There is one way you can get massive traffic to your site without spending a fortune.

Have you ever tried using Traffic Exchanges to get visitors to your site?

Many people will tell you that Traffic Exchanges are a waste of time. Not so, my friend. The fact is, many successful marketers not only recommend these free exchanges but they use these services themselves. They are able to build a marketing machine by referring other marketers to the exchanges and earning a percentage of the traffic that their referrals generate.

Most people who venture into Traffic Exchange marketing do so because they want to promote their own site, an affiliate program or their Network Marketing (MLM) business. They feel that spending time promoting their Exchanges to build downlines is a waste of time because it takes time away from their primary program - and they are right. But, I did discover a 'not so' secret strategy that will allow you to promote your site or program AND build downlines in the exchanges at the same time.

Currently I earn hundreds of hits to my site every day - even when I don't have time to surf myself. All because I found a way to get referrals to the best-of-the-best Traffic Exchanges without ever promoting the Exchanges myself. Have you ever heard of TrafficHoopla?

Most people familiar with TrafficHoopla think it is just a downline builder. What appeals most to me is the fact that TrafficHoopla is actually a Traffic Exchange Tester. They actually test dozens of the most popular Traffic Exchanges (and SafeLists) and deliver the results weekly. They are unbiased in their reporting. If an exchange does not pull it's weight, it will be dropped like a hot potato.

Because of their Testing, Tracking and Reporting you can have confidence in knowing that you are using (and recommending) the most effective Exchanges available. David Carr, TrafficHoopla's creator, developed this system to build his own Traffic Exchange Marketing Machine. So what is the 'secret' that helped me....

After studying the TrafficHoopla members area, it seemed that I had to choose between promoting my business OR building traffic. Then I discovered TrafficHoopla's affiliate rotator co-op. At only $15 per share it is quite a deal.

The company will promote your TrafficHoopla link for you at least 2000 times AND Guarantee you five new members. You can only purchase two shares at a time on a monthly subscription but you can purchase more subscriptions if you like. Each new TrafficHoopla associate could ultimately join all 20 of the recommended exchanges and promote the system themselves.

If you really think about it, this is a much better long term strategy than upgrading at the individual Traffic Exchanges. Each free exchange also offers upgraded memberships ranging in price from $5 to $20 per month. Upgrading in a half dozen or more will set you back $30 to $120 per month. The upgrades often include some traffic credits but not nearly as much as you could earn for free by building your downlines.

For more info about how you can create your own Rush Hour Traffic System visit TrafficHoopla Today. The TrafficHoopla system is free, the affiliate rotator co-op is optional.

NOTE: In order to honor the Guarantee, TrafficHoopla limits the number of co-op shares available. Get yours while you still can.

Networking is a Great Big Frienship Festival

"To A Friends House

The Road Is Never Long"

- Dutch Proverb

A few days ago I celebrated Canada Day by driving down the highway to pop in at The Friendship Festival in Fort Erie. Patty (my wife) and I went to her sister's house because they have an awesome view of the fireworks from their back yard. Yes, they were quite impressive again this year.

The Friendship Festival's roots began in the late 70's as an "I Survived The Blizzard of 1977" celebration. It actually started out as an event to commemorate that eventful time. The international get-together was brought about by students of Fort Erie Secondary School (Ontario side) and Lafayette High School (New York State side).

Eventually, the Festival outgrew the high school theme and was ultimately replaced by further reaching theme. Now the Friendship Festival represents the long-standing peaceful and friendly relationship between the United States and Canada. It also celebrates the Freedom and Independence the people of both countries enjoy. Currently the Festival annually covers a seven to ten day period to include events surrounding Canada Day (July 1st) and Independence Day (July 4th).

I know first hand just how friendly the relations can get between the two Nations. My mother was born and raised in Buffalo, New York and my father grew up right across the border in Fort Erie, Ontario. They had friendly relations at least three times that I know of - I have two sisters.

Because of my Parental International Relations I have always been able to personally celebrate both Canada Day here at home and Independence Day with my family and friends State-side. Even though I am officially Canadian, I have never really considered myself to be any more Canadian than American. As a full-time truck driver I spend a good portion of time in both countries.

The time we spent at the Festival got me to thinking about how our Networking Business can bring people together. It does not matter where we live or how we live. What does matter is that we share common ground. We all have dreams for a better future. We all want security for our family. We all want to live life on our own terms.

It is these common ties that allow us to come together for the greater good - despite whatever differences we may have. Any way, as far as I am concerned, the differences should be celebrated just as much.

If you are building a Networking Business (MLM), don't get so hung up on trying to make people do it your way. Everyone is going to have their own pace, their own way of looking at their business, their own idea of what 'success' is and their own idea of what their business should provide for them.

My Top Recommendation:

As you travel down your road to success, create your own Networking Friendship Festival. Invite anyone and everyone. Tell them they can 'Come-As-You-Are' whenever they are ready. Before you know it, you could be travelling the world to visit all your associates. Of course it could be a tax deductible expense if you organize it properly. And you would not even have to worry about when you get back!

Let Freedom (and Friendship) Reign.

Welcome To The MLM Expediter Blog

My name is Bill Darton and I created this Blog to show people how I used my everyday experinces as an Expedited Truck Driver to help me build my MLM Business.

Hopefully you will see how you can do the same no matter what your profession. One thing I learned early on in my MLM career was the difference between Principles and Practices. A Principal will apply in many (or all) situations where as a Practice applies to a specific situation.

We all have experiences in our everyday life that we can use to motivate, encourage and inspire ourselves in many ways. My stories, anecdotes and musings will illustrate how I take Principals and Practices and transpose them from my day job to my business. One of my favourite ways is to take the negative things that happen on the job and use them to motivate me to get home and work that much harder on my business.

You don't have to be a trucker to enjoy this blog. My posts will be more so related to work generally and driving specifically.

Visit often and enjoy the ride.
