Hi.

If you have been making money online (or trying to) for any length of time, I’m sure you have seen ads for various prelaunches. If you haven’t seen anything like that, let me explain what it is.

A prelaunch is when an opportunity or product is going to be released, and it is announced ahead of time. This can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.

Personally, I “really” dislike them. I have gotten involved in them before, but it usually turned out to be a disaster. Let me tell you how I see it. Please don’t be angry at me for my opinion if you like prelaunches

My reasons for disliking them:

#1 — They stop people from buying! I have seen this happen again and again. My sales and signups are going along fine. Then I announce that a company is launching (whenever) and my sales slow down to a mere trickle. Why? Because my buyers are obviously waiting for the new opportunity or product. They need to make sure they have the money to join it once it gets here. Even those who “aren’t sure’ they are joining the prelaunched opportunity hold onto their money just in case

#2 — They are often boring (yawn) by the time they launch due to all of the prelaunch hype. What causes most people to open their wallets and pay for an opportunity? Excitement (hype), of course! If you aren’t excited about something, chances are you aren’t going to get involved. Launches can be very exciting, but prelaunches actually take away from that. By the time people can actually pay to join (after delayed launches, website trouble, etc.) many people are just sick of hearing about it. I know I sure am!

#3 — They can cause even the most respected marketers to look silly. I’ve seen it over and over. Something is going to launch and supposedly make everyone a fortune from spillover, spillunder, etc. It’s advertised all over the place by all of the marketers. Then the launch is delayed. Then it’s delayed again. And again. After a few of these delays the excitement is totally destroyed. The people stop listening. I know I have by this time, and if I’m advertising the prelaunch I’m downright embarassed. When I see “prelaunch” advertised anymore I am simply not interested. Sure, I may end up joining the opportunity on launch day (that’s when I make the most money), but I’m sure not going to go around advertising the prelaunch. There is just too much chance of it going wrong. It’s not worth the risk to me.

Now, on a positive note, I LOVE launches! I have made $1000s from them and will always love them. There is nothing more exciting about working online than launch day! You will make most of your money from an opportunity on that day or close to it. Why? Because no one is in it yet You have every single person on the Internet to advertise to. The sky’s the limit! Plus you have the biggest chance of getting spillover closest to the launch.

How I now do launches (not prelaunches):

#1 — I make sure I’m on peoples’ contact lists so that I am always notified when they find a new opportunity or product. I actually “want” to be on your contact list. So if you have one please get in touch with me and make sure I’m on it. That’s one of the most important things I do online — stay informed of the newest and hottest opportunities and products. Without that knowledge I simply couldn’t make a decent income online

#2 — If I do see a prelaunch advertised I keep the note and try to be prepared for the launch. I won’t be advertising the prelaunches anymore (I’m done with that — unless I personally know the company) but I will get ads ready, etc. so that once it does launch I can start getting the word out immediately. I know that time is crucial on launch day, so I want to be ready.

Now, if you want to make sure you know what opportunities I join please make sure you are on my contact list. You can do that by subscribing to my blog updates (link is above or at the bottom of this post). I always announce any new thing I’m in to my contact list first. Make sure to use an email address that does not block any ads. You’ll want to make sure you are able to know when things launch. Also check my Twitter page (link is above).

Again, to those who love prelaunches … please don’t be mad at me for stating why I dislike them I’m only voicing my opinion here — not trying to step on anyone’s toes.

I can’t wait for the next big launch! So if you ever hear of anything big on the horizon, please write and let me know! I sure wouldn’t want to miss it!

Take care,
Paula

Hi.

Wow! I just counted up my signups from just last month, and
I had 42 NEW paid upgrades come in! Plus I’ve already had upgrades
come in this month.

Maybe that doesn’t sound like very many signups to you, but this opportunity is
STILL converting that good … after TWO YEARS!

If you have joined any new launches “at all” I’m sure you’ve
noticed that the signups slow (a lot) after a month or so …
and sometimes they slow after just a week or two.

This opportunity has been converting like crazy for me every
single month.

I have honestly never seen anything like it. Even after all
the “new” launches that come and go, it’s still my #1 business
opportunity. It still converts the BEST — still pays the BEST!

Check it out for free today and we’ll start building your
downline FOR YOU! You’ll be in the money FAST!

Hi.

I’ve been seeing things written lately (on social network sites, blogs, and elsewhere) on why one needs to be “extremely professional” (implying excellent copywriting skills, fancy website, etc.) in order to make it in any online business — whether it be MLM, direct sales, or other. At first that may sound right, but after thinking about it for awhile, I’ve come to the conclusion that that statement isn’t really all that “true”

You see, professionalism can be viewed in different ways by different types of people. Let’s say, for instance, that you are a total newbie when it comes to making money online. You’ve never been in an MLM before, and, in fact, you aren’t even sure what the initials MLM stand for — or why you should ever consider joining one. You have a question (just a little one) but you don’t know who to ask. You do a quick search on Google and one of the first pages to come up is “Internet Guru Mr. Smith’s” website or blog. His website is gorgeous, obviously designed professionally by one of the best Internet Designers available. It’s obvious he’s spent a great deal of money on his fancy website. When you search for him on the social media sites you come to pages that are all beautifully designed — with fancy graphics and a layout that would cause even a graphic designer to ooooh and awwww. Do you write Internet Guru Mr. Smith and ask him your question? Or do you simply move on to the next website listed in your Google search?

I can tell you what “I” would do. I would go on. Why? Because I would be pretty sure that “Internet Guru Mr. Smith” doesn’t really have the time (or the inclination) to write me back. Why did I come to that assumption? Mainly because his page was so extremely professional that he came across more like a “corporation” than as a “person”. That’s why. With his over-fanciness and over-professionalism he’s coming across as a machine instead of someone others can relate to.

I’ve had people write me about my various websites before and ask if they could design them for me for free (to make them better). My answer is always, “Thanks, but no thanks”. While I do appreciate the kind gesture, I don’t ever want to come across as “too” professional. That would cause me to lose everything that I love about working online.

I love just being myself and learning as I go. I love playing with PhotoShop and putting up website header graphics that would cause the famous Gurus to cringe. lol. I love chatting at the social networks (like Twitter, YouTube, etc.) and not worrying what people think about me. I love that I’m still learning and still “teachable”. I seriously doubt I’ll ever know even close to everything about working online. In fact, I can tell you “for sure” that I know next to nothing about search engine optimization, blog optimization, etc. All I know is that it’s smart to get listed in the search engines and that it’s fun to post on my blog (like I’m doing now)! lol

So there. That’s my take on “over-professionalism”. I’ll probably never be a real professional, and I really don’t ever want to be. I’m just plain ole’ Paula Frye, the West Virginia girl who moved to Ohio back in 1978

If you have a question about something, write! My email address is under the “about Paula Frye” tab. There are times that I miss an email or two because of all the ads I get in my inbox, but I’d never not write back “on purpose”. I don’t have all the answers, but I can sure tell you what works for me.

I am making a full-time income online, and you can see what types of opportunities are making me money at http://www.paulafrye.com. I don’t have any fancy teachings written up, but I have figured out a thing or two about what types of opportunities bring me the best (and quickest) results.

So the next time you think you “can’t” do something because you’re just a newbie, remember that everyone was new once. Every single person who works online! Even “Internet Guru Mr. Smith”. You “can” do great things — Just always be yourself and don’t ever become “too professional” to enjoy the little things about working online.

Take care,
Paula
