Making the Connection -
A Workshop on The Millionaire’s Handbook

There have been many books on Networking. They all make a very good case for the power of connecting with others, but there is none that so effectively spells out the best strategies and tactics to use. The Millionaire’s Handbook by Mel Kaufmann, guides you step-by-step to find and connect with the people you need to meet…at Networking Events, and anywhere else you may have an opportunity to engage another.

Saturday, January 17th in Mission Valley. More information

Calendar News

We continue to update and streamline the Guide & Calendars. This week we are featuring:

• A more compact look to the “All Events” view
• Sponsorships
• Reactions to the Business Opportunity Category

We decided that the “All Events” calendar view was too cumbersome with the overabundance of referral club chapters. We considered giving them their own pages, but opted for keeping them in with everyone else and consolidating them. Now, all multiple chapters meeting at the same time will be consolidated into one listing. It’s much more manageable now. Of course, if you want to break out of the pack, you can always get an affordable Featured Listing and be on the opening page! (and in Special Mentions).

Sponsorships Our traffic numbers will now suppport advertising. For the last 6 years I have never made a serious pitch for advertising because I felt the traffic would not support it. That has changed..dramatically. Our interactive Web 2.0 platform is performing…beyond our projections. We are just moving out of Beta and have only done a fraction of our planned marketing.

We will ultimately use an advertising agency. Our prices will then rise. If you want to reach our readers…the small business person…networkers and networking hosts at out low introductory prices then click here for details.

Business Opportunity Category “BizOpps” In the last Issue we debuted the “BizOpp” listing, and that got a flurry of activity. Alan Underkofler has reserved the Send Out Cards exclusive listing for the State of California. Adam Packard has reserved Send Out Card exclusive listing for Arizona. This is on a First-Come basis. Watch for their listings up soon.

Why are we offering this? In this economy, people are looking for jobs, considering self-employment, perhaps wanting a side business, and business opportunities. There are a variety of companies that offer opportunities for part-time and full-time income. We are connecting people offering BizOpps with the people considering BizOpps.

FYI…This is not limited to Multi-Level Marketing. You will see a listing for Link System® Trainers, as well!

It works like this: Each Networking Guide & Calendar has a category specifically for Business Opportunities. Your BizOpp listing is exclusive (much like exclusive category referral groups…only one PrePaid Legal, only one Arbonne, etc.). Representatives subscribe to all guides in any given state…or national. Our National Business Opportunity subscribers represent Isagenix, World Ventures and Forever Freedom, International. This means that all leads generated worldwide would go to one representative. Sound interesting? Available categories could include:

• Send Out Cards (CA, AZ excluded)
• PrePaid Legal
• Arbonne
• Juice Plus,
• ……and more!
