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!

Thanks for sharing. I have just joined the GCFN and was somewhat skeptical at first, but information I've gathered - including learning your first-hand experience - has convinced me I'm in a pretty good program. I already own and operate a media-based business and have 30 years experience in radio and print media, so I joined with hopes of building up the cash flow from my already very busy website (average 700-800 visits per day). The teaching tools provided by GCFN are pretty good and the advertising advice is pretty much bang-on. I think we'll both eventually make our $5,000 back and then some, but with all ventures, it takes time. Good luck!
Hi,
I joined GCFN at the end of Sep. I have been doing everything that has been on my checklist. I am advertising wherever i can for free, as I am limited for funds. I did however buy the targeted traffic package. I find that there is almost too much info too quickly, with not enough time to read all of it.
I am envious of you though, I have not been as successful as you, yet. What is your secret? I am doing everything pretty much the same as you as i have read in your previous posts.
Also, i am finding it hard to send the mailers, as i am in australia. I had an argument with the post office lady the other day, because the GCFN notice said that for international customers i would be able to purchase the stamps at my local post office. She tried to tell me different. She was really impatient with me when i showed her that it was written in black and white that i was told they do! I ended up purchasing them online at the usps.
To date, I have received a $10 and $50 cheque. I just got a new prospect today when i checked my back office, but i have no idea what that means. Do you?
I would love to keep in contact with you as I am really frustrated that i cannot seem to make it, despite everything i am doing!
Kerry
