Hello Adlanders, 

Only a few days back a dear friend wrote me and I quote

Oh I love fall and the changing of the leaves and crispness in the air. But mostly I hope you are enjoying the quietness and the way we slow down somewhat during this season”

So true right? It’s wonderful how the seasons are designed for our comfort & pleasure, each season having its own unique beauty! as the good book says ‘A time to reap and a time to sow, a time to be happy and a time to mourn……” yes there is a perfect time for everything and fall is one such season we enjoy !

Along with the lovely fall season I hope you will enjoy going through this edition of what we have brought you. I would like to thank all our contributing friends who have taken the time to write for us, we sure appreciate YOU!

We have here our 2nd ‘Tete a tete’ with Jeff O’Brien. Jeff as I discovered is one of our oldest members! He has been in Adland since 2002…wow that’s a good ‘long time ‘huh? Thank you Jeff, it was a pleasure doing this with you, and hope we will get to see you more around the community.

With that said folks, as always I invite you to give me your feedback and suggestions if any, sure do enjoy reading about what you have to say.

Till next time,

May all prosperity be yours!!

We can do no great things, only small things with great love. ~Mother Teresa

Adlandpro Support Tips

 
Set up an ad campaign!

Have you tried this?

Three ads, all with different headings and content in the ad body and all the contact and URL (web address) information is going to the same for each ad. Creating three different looking ads gives you three different appearances. What you have done is broadened the coverage with the viewers looking at the ads. Having one ad covering your product or services you provide is not going to get the job done.

If you have a single ad showing your product with no other ads to support it, can produce views and or sales contacts but it is a pretty good idea to give viewers different options. What appeals to the viewer in ad #1, they may not find in the other ads and other viewers may be attracted to what's in Ad #2 or #3 but not in #1.

Remember any two viewers can be looking for the same product and come across the same ad for this product, one may react to it and one may not, this is the exact reason there has to be variety. This should apply to any type of advertising method for example if you are using banner ads, try two image banners and two text banners.

The stats, information and feedback will give you plenty of ammunition for marketing purposes.     

Until next time,

Barry Scott

“ LoL”

Jokes from different countries. To start with we have Roger from the UK contributing some of his collections.

So are we ready for some British jokes ?? 

Brought to us by courtesy of  

 

Roger Macdivitt

Note: The place name in this joke is the longest place name in Britain. It is a welsh town.

Three tourists were driving through Wales. As they were approaching Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town's name

They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter one asked the blonde employee, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are... very slowly?" The girl leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrr, gerrrrrr, Kiiiiiing."

 

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend awake. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?" Holmes questioned.

Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, and then spoke. "Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent!!!!!

 

"When William Shakespeare went swimming one day he was obsessed with the notion that moths had been feeding on the back of his trunks! He asked a friend to investigate and make a thorough search. The friend replied, "No holes, bard."

 

 An English tourist is on holiday in a Cornish village when he spots what obviously is the village idiot sitting next to the horse trough. In his hand is an old stick, and tied to the end is a piece of string which is dangling in the water. The tourist decides to humour the fellow and asks: "Have you caught anything yet?" The village idiot looks up and studies the stranger, before saying: "Aye, you be the seventh today."

 

 A woman woke her husband one night and said, 'There's a burglar in the kitchen eating my home-made steak and kidney pie!'

'Oh dear: said her husband. 'Who shall I call, police or ambulance?'

 

Last night there was a big fight in our local fish and chip shop - a lot of fish got battered!!

INSIGHTS
We will have a monthly guest writer from Adland sharing their thoughts and insights with us.

 

This month we have a contribution from Sam Sunday

Most people believe that that ultimate knack for a man to succeed and the desire to accumulate wealth is, in most cases, influenced by the woman (or women) in his life. This must have given weight to the saying that “behind every successful man, there’s a woman” and of course, the fact that most successful and accomplished men fall within the family age of 30 to 50 years whence they must have had immense interaction with women and probably influentially infected in one way or the other by them.

This fact is vividly captured by Napoleon Hill in his all-time-classic, Think and Grow Rich where he explained that:

“Man's greatest motivating force is his desire to please woman! The hunter who excelled during prehistoric days, before the dawn of civilization, did so, because of his desire to appear great in the eyes of woman. Man's nature has not changed in this respect. The "hunter" of today brings home no skins of wild animals, but he indicates his desire for her favor by supplying fine clothes, motor cars, and wealth. Man has the same desire to please woman that he had before the dawn of civilization. The only thing that has changed, is his method of pleasing. Men who accumulate large fortunes, and attain to great heights of power and fame, do so, mainly, to satisfy their desire to please women.”

Napoleon Hill believes that if you take women out of men’s lives, their attainment of success and great wealth would be useless to most of them. This conception is however contested by a few men especially the young and energetic ones. A young friend of mine is convinced that his desire for success and wealth is mostly influence by his wish to make a name for himself and leave a legacy behind. Another is working so hard to preserve his family name rather than please his wife or any other woman. Yet still others say they want to satisfy their family as a whole especially the children and not the women.

What is your opinion about this issue? Be a bit personal and tell us what influences or pushes you most, in your quest to succeed in all your endeavors and make wealth at the end of the day. I know most men will not admit that they are easily influenced by the women they prefer, because it is in the nature of the male to want to be recognized as the stronger of the species: can this be part of the influence?

This question is not for men only, the ladies are in even better position to assess their spouses and partners and confirm or disprove this notion.

By the way, if you’ve not read or have a copy of Napoleon Hill's book, Think and Grow Rich, you can download a free copy of the e-book version here: >>CLICK TO DOWNLOAD<<

Thanks for getting involved.

 

MENTOR’S MOMENT WITH MARY GUARIGLIA

 

Hello my Adland friends,

I trust what you have been reading so far has been helpful to you.

This month we are going to deal with ……….

Red Flags - They Have Powerful Information For You!

Our afternoon Skills call the other day was full of powerful information about why you need to read your company Policies & Procedures.

With 30 years in network marketing, Michael Dlouhy has learned and taught us the #1 feature you must have in place for success:

Company Management Experience With Integrity.

People ask me all the time, "How do I know if my company has integrity?"
The answer is simple: read your Company Policies & Procedures. If you can't find them on the website, it's a Big Red Flag. Some companies say you can't read them until after you join. Big Red Flag

Why are they ashamed of their P&P's? Why don't they want you to read them? The P&P's are YOUR contract to be in business with them - written by the Company Lawyers! Every time any distributor ever gets a termination letter, it says, "You have Violated the Policies & Procedures." They never say you Violated "Terms & Conditions." It's always "Policies & Procedures."

Most reps never actually read their P and P's. You need to do it ... it may really open your eyes. At least you'll know exactly what to look for and how to protect yourself. Below are some Clauses that show NO or Very Little Integrity with the Company Management. If you find any of these, you should consider finding a company with Management Integrity.

Here Are Some Of The Bad Clauses: BIG RED FLAGS

1.) We the company reserve the right to cancel your distributorship with or without cause.
Also could say your contract.

2.) You have a yearly renewal contract. This goes back to # 1 Clause. In the event you have a yearly renewal they can opt to not renew it.

3.) If you have “ONGOING” or “CONTINUED” anything, you can never build it once, retire and walk away and still collect your residual checks. The key words here are “ONGOING” and CONTINUED”.

4.) You have to give up your right to a trial, if you are accused of Violating the Policies and Procedures.

And if these weren’t bad enough for you, here are a few more,


5.) You are held responsible for any family members who act as a distributor in your behalf even if they are not signed up with you. Example: You are the distributor, but not your wife, (it is not a joint partnership), and your wife talks to someone about your products, services, opportunity or company. She happens to say something that is against the Policies and Procedures, and it is reported to the company. You are held liable as if you yourself said it.6.) You are not allowed to advertise on the Social Sites or Social Business Sites, and if you are reported doing so, you have Violated the Policies and Procedures. This clause gets really sticky, because personal messaging people on these sites about your product, service, company, and opportunity is also usually a Violation of your Policies and Procedures. It falls under the same category as e-mail.

7.) We the Company have the right to modify these Policies and Procedures. Once they are modified and you do not like what they added or changed you are 1.) given the right to give up your distributorship or 2.) Agree even though you do not agree and continue working with the Company.

8.) We the Company have the right to change how we distribute the products. We at any time can 1.) Go to Direct Sales, 2.) Mail Order or 3.) Close it’s doors.

So what is my suggestion to you? Go find your Policies and Procedures, read them from the back to the front, why? All the bad stuff is usually in the back. And if you find even one of these Clauses, BEWARE! Why? It isn’t in your BEST INTEREST!

Now that you have finally read your Policies and Procedures, you will want to find out why they are bad and not in your best interest. Download your Free E-Book here at:
