One of the most positive
features of the Big Dogs program that we often tend to forget about is
it's 100% flexibility.
You can tailor your
involvement in the program to fit ANY monthly advertising budget -
whether you can afford to join just one or two of the C.H.I.P.
programs or ALL of them.
Just as importantly, the
leads generated by the C.H.I.P. programs are completely generic -
they can be used to promote virtually ANY program, product, or
service. You don't have to promote the Big Dogs program AT ALL,
if you choose not to!
Johnny Fernqvist, our
Alpha Dog from the beautiful country of Sweden, has used this
flexibility of the Big Dogs program to free himself from the drudgery
of ridiculously long work weeks, and to build an income in MULTIPLE
programs!
You'll learn a LOT
from him!...
Stan:
"Johnny, you've managed to be successful in several different
programs on and off the Internet. I congratulate you on this
feat, since so many folks have a difficult time doing well in just ONE
program. Care to tell us how all this started?"
Johnny:
"Love to, Stan. If I can assist other Big Dogs in any way
I'm happy to help out!"
"I am 37 years old, married with three children - age 13,
11, and 6. I have been programming computers more than 20 years and I
have a masters degree in computer science. The last 10 years I worked
50-60 hours per week as an expert consultant programmer, often
evenings, nights, and weekends. Combining that with family life was a
bit tough to say the least, so I was looking for something else."
"My wife found Amway and we worked together and
learned a lot about network marketing. Then a little more than two
years ago I became a HerbaLife distributor and lost 25 pounds in 2
months. I still keep my ideal weight now after two years. My first
three weeks in HerbaLife I made $600, the third month $1500. That was
in a very small part time effort because I was still working more
than full time as programmer. But after eight months I am proud to say
that I quit my job as a programmer. So the last year and a half
Herbalife has been my main income."
Stan:
"You had extensive computer experience, as well as an obvious
talent for network marketing. It sounds like you were ALREADY a
successful entrepreneur. So just what lead you to Big
Dogs?"
Johnny: "I did not have
much free time for my Herbalife business. (Remember, at that
time I was STILL working those 60 hour work weeks!)
Because of my time limitations I had to buy leads - as much
as $200 for just 20 leads! Normally 1 or 2 became customers
or distributors from one $200 package. So you can see that I
spent many thousands of dollars building my HerbaLife business."
"When I decided to quit my
job a year and a half ago I had to find a way to generate my own
leads, so I tried everything I could find on the internet but nothing
worked for me. One day I got an email from someone telling he had
also tried many of the programs I did, wasting a lot of money and
time, but then found a solution that was finally working for
him."
"Needless to say, that
solution was your Big Dogs program!"
"So I got to the 'Secrets of
the Big Dogs' website and ordered the ebook immediately. I read it the
same day and became angry at myself when I realized how naive I
had been about internet marketing. The next day I read the ebook one
more time and decided to became an Alpha Dog."
Stan:
"Now, as I understand it, at first you did not promote the Big
Dogs program at all. Correct?"
Johnny: "Correct, Stan.
First I only used the C.H.I.P. programs to generate leads for my
HerbaLife business. It was great to find out that I could generate
many more leads myself for less money than I used to pay before!
So I was happy, but at that point I was not really trying to sell the
'Secrets of the Big Dogs' ebook."
"Then
one day I read the Big Dogs Bulletin - I guess I was inspired by it.
I decided to go through the
Training Manual again and start promoting the Big Dogs also. So
I started to sell up to 10 ebooks per week and got some new
Alpha Dogs every month from that, and the checks started to come!
I think that the 'Secrets of the Big Dogs' ebook is a very good way to
learn the truth about internet marketing. The C.H.I.P. programs are
getting better and better. My favorite programs right now are
MultiLinks and iPostAd."
Stan:
"What about ads, Johnny? What type of sales messages and
subject lines are you using?"
Johnny: "When I am
promoting the Big Dogs program I use the ads from the AdVault on the
training manual site. Naturally, of course, I 'tweak' them a
little here and a little there to make them more personal. You
HAVE to do that so that they're different from the ads all the other
Big Dogs are using. But... the basic concepts and outlines are from
the AdVault."
"Now THIS is
important! I change the subject line every day and
the ad text once a week. Subject lines - no matter
how good they are become stale VERY quickly, allowing the best of
sales messages to go unread. Also, I run all my ads through the free
spam-checker I found in TrafficWave. Using a spam-checker these
days is a MUST! An ad that you labored for hours on and believe
to be absolute perfection may simply not make it through the spam
filters."
"And
I always, ALWAYS include my
email address, phone number and mail address."
Stan:
"You brought up a few very good points."
"First
of all the sales messages and subject lines we have in the AdVault ARE
very good. BUT!... If every Big Dog uses the same ads and
doesn't change them at all, they can quickly become 'invisible'
to prospects, no matter how well designed they are. We take
great pains to tell new Alpha Dogs that the AdVault ads should be used
as a roadmap, or a template, to design their OWN ads."
"Secondly,
I totally agree with you that before you place an ad, running it
through a spam-checker is crucial!"
"Now
then Johnny, in addition to the C.H.I.P. programs do you use any other
form of promotion?"
Johnny: "Actually, I
do, Stan. Like you yourself state in the ebook, the C.H.I.P. is
an incredible foundation upon which to build your
Internet promotional strategy. And like any foundation, it is
meant to be built upon, not just left to stagnate. I am
always testing new and different advertising techniques and programs.
(This is a continuous process, since most of the stuff out
there turns out to be garbage!) In addition I also do some
search engine marketing using WebPosition Gold, and also the Google
AdWords pay-per-click. I also still use the FFANET network
leads."
Stan:
"Wise words, indeed, Johnny! do you have any other 'irons
in the fire' right now?"
Johnny: "
In
fact I do! A few months ago I needed another domain name for my
search engine optimization. So I found the Global Domains
International program which offers personal domain names, reliable
web site hosting and email services for $10 per month, which I think
is very competitive. So I signed up and started to use my new domain.
But there is also a business opportunity connected with the G.D.I.
- you get $1 per month for all active domains in your network five
levels down. A couple of weeks ago I decided to give it a try
and used some of the C.H.I.P. programs to promote the G,D.I.
In just two weeks I signed up more than 30 paid affiliates into my G.D.I.
downline - all thanks to the Big Dogs system!
Of course many of my downline members then start to ask me where I get
all my leads from. Needless to say, I then introduce them
to Big Dogs, and it just goes on, and on, and on, and...
Stan:
"Johnny, I want to thank you for your time and your words of
wisdom! It's obvious that you run your business LIKE a business
and are making all the right moves. On behalf of all the other
Big Dogs out there in the trenches, congratulations on your
well-deserved success!"
