Last week I also received 1000 new promotional postcards to mail. I think these postcards are responsible for at least half of the 15 referrals I have received so far from this program, and I am more than happy to pay for the postage to mail them out. The postcards promote the program as a home business opportunity. They can either go to my GCFN website or ask them to call in directly for a free consultation: 1-800-719-8268 xS1147.
I've mailed a total of 750 postcards so far (not including this new batch of 1000). Obviously, I'm hoping for another larger check in the next few weeks, but I realize until I really get into a rhythm with promotion, and get my own website up, my results probably won't be consistent. I'd prefer to be making money from webtraffic without having to send out postcards. But, it does seem that postcards are pretty effective at getting leads.
My media coach has been telling me to place ads in magazines as a more "advanced" step. That's definitely on my to-do list now. I'm going to have to arrange the magazine ads myself, and I've never done it before. I'm expecting a media coach to give me some help in that department.
One of the nice things with the 1000 postcards I just received from Mary Gersten's team at the Certified Media Placement Specialist program, is that they put the labels on the postcards for me this time. This saves me a lot of time!!
I'm really happy I joined this home-based business program. I was accepted as a CMPS student in July. Now it's October (just 3 months later!), and while I still have several thousand dollars more to make back to recoup my initial investment, I have confidence that I am learning some really useful skills in promotion, advertising, and marketing...and by next spring, I will have made a profit that should keep growing as long as I remain consistent in the program.
If you want to take a look at the CMPS program for yourself, you can apply online at http://www.cashflowurl.com/. With what you already know from this blog, you can avoid making bad choices in what you sign-up for, and probably even do better than I have so far.
It's not a "get rich quick scheme" - that is for sure - but most things that claim to make tons of money quickly are downright scams.
Compared to how I felt a month or two ago, it's amazing my change in attitude, isn't it? But now I have confidence that the Global Cash Flow Network is a legitimate company, and the material I've received is starting to really show value for me. A few months from now, I'm not just going to be making money promoting this GCFN/CMPS program...I'm going to be promoting other products as well on my own websites. That's what this program TEACHES and I'm glad I'm learning all about it!
Until next time!
