If you don’t already have a MySpace profile go to
www.MySpace.com and sign up for your site. There are not costs to have an account and there are more than 200,000,000 users.
Once you have a site, you will have to add your information to make it your own. There is plenty of help to guide you.
Some things to think about when building out your profile:
Put in a good photo of yourself (leave your spouse and kids out). One where you appear friendly, helpful, and honest. It should be interesting to look at and stick out a bit if you were going to put it next to most of the other photos on MySpace. DO NOT put pictures of you in front of expensive toys like a Lexus, a big home, or a pool. Everyone does that and it sends the wrong message.
Feel free to make this site your own. It’s about YOU! What you write and the other things you add tell a story about you. You want to write about what make you unique and ATTRACTIVE to others. If you don’t know what that is, ask you better half and your friends.
Add back ground graphics to make your site visually appealing, but also easy to look at and read. Look at other site to get ideas. If you find one that you like, somewhere on the page you will find an icon or a link to the site to get that layout (usually in the upper left corner).
These are the basics. You can add and change things as you go (and you will). The key is to just get started. You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it started.

YES!!**Secret**Marketing Tactics
Building Your Network
Once you have your site set up, you need to get “friends”, lots of friends, thousands of friends. To do this effectively, you need help. I strongly recommend FriendBlaster Pro. The license is only about $30 for one site. If you are cash conscious you can use an unregistered version that restricts you to 50 invites a day. This is pretty good and adds up to 350 invites a week. Once you have the software you get free updates for life.
Download it here: Friend Adder Software
Add me as your friend first. Don’t add your real friends for fun. Only add people who are in your target market. My target market is MLM., network marketers, and home business owners. You can use FriendBlaster to search for people in your target market.
Send at least 50 invite a day EVERYDAY. More in the beginning if you have the license.
To significantly increase your response to invites, send a message to each person you add. The software will do this for you. This is also you first opportunity to start branding yourself.
Write a short generic message that introduces YOU, not your product. Don’t try to get fancy and pull in their “name”. Most people don’t use their name and have odd symbols. It just looks funny and is obvious that you are using a “bot” or software. Just put in something like: “I was looking around at profiles and found you. You seem really interesting, so I though I would add you as a friend so we can chat.” Then put a very short blurb about your self, something to draw them to you as a person, not a business. People do business with people, not companies.
That’s it. You will start adding friends. Chat with them. Get to know them as people, don’t pitch them. If they pitch you, it’s a sure sign of an amateur.
Have fun with the people. There are a few mean people out there, but most are nice and some you will really like.

Building Your List With Leads
What are leads?
First of all let me give you a very brief description of what leads are and how people become leads.
Leads are generated through advertising. An ad is put in a magazine, newspaper, online, etc. People see those ads and respond to them with their contact information (name, address, phone, & email). Those leads are collected and sold (usually more than once).
The leads I use were responses to information about home businesses or working from home – type ads.
Why use leads that you buy?
Leads are an essential part of bringing people into your business. No one knows enough people to keep their business alive without new leads.
This is just one pillar of your marketing business. You should have at least three pillars, but five or more to have an effective/successful business. A pillar is a marketing leg that you use to drive business.
Why not just email my leads?
I get information everyday and I sort it as quickly as I can so I can move on with my work.
Want to know my numbers for the last 7 days? Here they are:
1,000+ e-mails deleted without opening
-0- pieces of mail for a business opportunity
-3- calls to join their program on the phone
Hmmmm……
When people get hundreds or thousands of emails each week that they don’t read past the subject line, the chances of getting someone to actually opening your email (especially if they don’t know you) is VERY SLIM.
Which method is most like to get MY attention?
What about your attention?
What about the attention of your prospects?
Need I say more about e-mailing only?
So, forget the “heyday” of e-mailing only.
Answer this:
What would it take to get your attention these days from a total stranger?
Just an e-mail?
What if someone called you first? They were professional and sounded excited, educated and happy.
Then, they followed up with an e-mail to you?
Then, 3-5 days later a lonely postcard appeared, out of nowhere offering you to visit their website to get FREE information, etc.
Would you be impressed?
Would you check it out?
I bet you would if you had requested that type of information.
I use two lead sources.
You might ask why two?
Well, for two reasons.
1. Business stability. If anything happens to one of the lead companies I’m not totally starting over and can keep my daily activities going while I get another lead source.
2. I only use two so that I keep things simple.
Here is one lead company that I use.
Leadersclub
mywavepage
These also have affiliate programs so they are a good way to build and additional stream of residual income. Leads are like a monthly autoship program. I would ask that you use these links if you wish to purchase these leads. Thank you!
For information on creating your own postcard system read “Easy as a Postcard” In this blog.
I appreciate you and your endeavors.

Easy as a postcard…
The postcard system is an easy, inexpensive, and effective marketing pillar. With the onset of the internet people have lost track of this system, making it even more effective because so few people use it!
You can have postcards printed at your local printers for about .04 cents per card if you order 1000 or more at a time. Current postage is .24 cents for a total of .28 cents per card.
OR you can take advantage of the USPS services.
www.USPS.com
USPS charges about .22 cents for postage and .10 cents for the card, for a grand total of .32 cents per card. (This is as of August 2007. Check with them for the current rates.)
For .32 cents per card, here is what you get:
• Printed postcard
• Addressed postcard
• Prepaid postage on the card
• It gets mailed for you
Note: I use black ink on White paper for all my postcards. It is NOT worth the extra cost of printing in color. I put my photo on the card because I am branding my self. Plus, the photo helps me pull a better percentage as it shows that I’m a REAL person and nobody in their right mind would put their photo next to something that isn’t working…see the philosophy of that?)
You can always do it yourself or get your kids to do the peeling and sticking labels. Having the USPS costs a few cents more than you mailing it yourself, but it’s a BIG time saver.
Here are the three steps of what I do:
1. I dial each number and track what happens – spoke with them, left a message, disconnected, no answer/not available.
2. I type in each e-mail address and subject line and cut and paste the body of the e-mail. I also add something personal related to their name, email address, or hometown and send it.
3. After I make my quota of calls for the day, I upload those leads to the website:www.USPS.com.
4. I save that file and name it for the date that I’m calling so I can keep tabs on it. You can also send your postcards on a weekly basis.
mywavepage
ALERT!!Hidden **Secrets**?
The process is simple:
1) You get in the swing of things by calling 50 numbers a day. It will be uncomfortable at first.
2) You must understand that more people are going to say NO to you on the first contact than say YES.
3) You could dial fewer numbers or skip one of the steps. If you do that, you will reduce your response rate.
4) Your goal is to direct people to your capture page to build your list. Don’t sell, just get them in your list.
Should you choose to send fewer than 1000 postcards each month, here is the breakdown of leads/month to calls/day:
1000 leads a month is 50 calls a day
500 leads a month is 25 calls a day
200 leads a month is 10 calls a day
100 leads a month is 5 calls a day
The key is consistency. This is NOT a one time event, but a process. It takes time to get enough momentum for this to feel easy and to start seeing results. Obviously, the more you market, the better your results.
If you do this consistently, this will be a very solid pillar for your business.
The Skinning of The American Dream
Where Slavery Became Common Amongst The Common
Within America, in the land of the brave and the veritable nation of freedom, there resides the biggest industrial slave-labor camps ever to populate a country. The regional county is called work-force within a village called, The Prison of Hope.
Where dreams have been erased and men’s will power has been stripped.
401K Slave Trade
When stuck on a highway once, stitched with over 17,000 slaves lined up in a row, stuck in their cars and waiting to begin their nightmare, I unrolled my window once and asked the slave next to me, what is work to you?
His answer made me pull my chin. He answered with, “Work is only work when you wished you were somewhere else.” And so it goes.
Each morning these dead-heads with lost dreams inch ahead, slave style, tied by their golden 401K shackles, sipping their lattes, like a herd of cattle (add the ring in their noses), looking numb, as they solemnly point their $3 per gallon horses in the direction of their self imposed prison camps. Their dreams are held hostage, their hope has been arrested and each one is expected to mast their quarters by 0900 and that’s just the Sheep.
Highway To Hell
And their Jailors get to their Prisons even earlier. Because the Sheppard’s who HERD the sheep are expected to meet their posts to the ringing of the eighth bell past midnight. Which means the bosses have to leave their slave quarters and begin their highway into hell by five thirty a.m. That’s early. Very early.
5:30 a.m.
Legalized Government Pyramid Scheme / Lottery
I again, eager as I was to understand these industrial cogs even further, while watching them line up once, in a newspaper store, where the slaves each buy a “freedom ticket,” and a dream, for a buck (think lotto or government pyramid scheme) and I asked one of them, “Hey Fella, what is hell?”
I used the word “hell” only because if asked, that is what each one will always tell you that their work days are like; hell.
So there I was.
Amongst the mental weaklings who sold their dreams to another man and I asked, to one of them in their costumes complete with the red noose lynched around his neck (ID badge included), “Hey Fella, what is hell?”
mywavepage
And he whined back at me (these types are compulsive complainers) almost as if someone was about to push him off a “gang plank” of a Pirates ship, he summoned back to me, “Kind Sir, let me tell you what Hell is.”
He then pulled his scattered mind together and forewarned, “Hell is like, that is when the you in the mirror looking back at you is the person you COULD have been versus the you that you settled for.”
It must be hard to live within a world of small when in your head you are ten feet tall.
How Utterly Sad
Those educated beyond their means or even “the working poor” have NO CHOICE as to how many hours they must render to “the man.” Often they are required to labor into the darkness of debt and into Visa, who then they pay a “dummy tax” to each month.
Debt by the way is when you barrow from Paul to Pay Harry for items you buy from Mary that you actually can’t afford. That is how debt perpetuates and how the banking system earns Billions of dollars monthly from the working poor.
These slaves are never paid for WHO they are or for work they love.
Fifty weeks on. Two weeks off. “I owe, I owe so off to the prison camp I go.”
Card Carrying Slaves Work For Their Master
They are simply and ONLY paid for what their job title pays. Not a penny more. And even that is just enough to survive on—basically---so in order for VISA and MASTER-CARD to further earn off of them, the cogs must pay a monthly “royalty” or fee to them for everything that their families want, but these self-image victims can’t afford.
Well Boo-hoo. Did any of them have a GUN pointed to their heads? No.
No more than a three-ton Elephant seeks resistance or escape from the thin rope that his ankle is tied up with. It’s voluntary corporate slavery. That’s the sick part of their self imposed drama.
It’s voluntary for Petes sake!
They remain in their 8 X 8 corporate cells with fear written all over their faces because at anytime, without notice, their jailor can exercise more of his dominion and expire them at will.
That way, they can become jobless and spend the following next four months running through their cookie jar dough so they can again be confined by bankruptcy, but without first being victims of mortgage disaster and foreclosure.
All because the pink slip bit them where the sun never shines. And it continues. Non-stop and until chicken soup for the soul becomes one big bad joke.
The Skinning of The American Dream
Where Slavery Become Common Amongst The Common
So the pencil jockeys continue. Lock step. Often resting together at the water station, coiled up like caged rats, verbally biting each other and sinking each others hopes by trading distain for each others life trials and exposing each other to each of their own individual fears. Can you say, “cage monkeys!” But it gets worse.
It’s cooler dribble for the confined. Pass the gun.
All they ever speak about is how HARD they work, how TIRED they are and how they are only tolerated behind the bars of lost hope, versus celebrated. It’s pathetic at best to witness this each day. But it never stops.
Patience Often Steals Their Treasure
Don’t these slaves know that what you can endure persists? Or possibly even more sickening is how many of them have let patience steal their treasure. Oh well.
Then one day, many moons and years into time, they will be released out to pasture when at the age sixty five the slave master decides employee # 301 is no longer worthy to pull their weight of another man’s dream.
And they are released into yet another slave camp. The retirement camp where they are required yet again, to sit and stare out the window until death do they part. Cheery stuff.
But pain continues because even the few who decide to try to work AFTER and into retirement are whipped yet again by the pension people who yell, “You can’t work another day and stop trying to make ends meet, just rely on your pension you old goat!”
Special Slavery Note: The Federal Government doesn’t allow the old to out earn their pensions without yet another Dummy Tax being their just desserts
I Am The Son of a Capitalist and a Good News Merchant. I Am Free!
I know these prisoners of hope exist because I live free amongst them. I am free. I decide how much money I will earn because I actually believed in American capitalism. I decide my own hours, decide my own destiny and I denied ANY man to define my worth outside of my own ambition and outside of my own imagination.
I Have Earned in a Month What a Slave Earns All Doggone Year!
I can vacation when and where I want and as often as I want. I only do work that I love and as such I work for a loving and NOT for a living. I am a F/T dad and a part-time Millionaire. I pick my kids up from school and earn income world wide. Because I exercise the inspiration and have 6 Billion people world wide on the internet who help me earn more money than I need as a Good News Merchant.
WhoIsLopazeLasane
The Skinning of The American Dream
Where The Common Become The Meal of The Those in The Culture of Smart
I work seven days because I love what I do, loaf when I want and because I love to make money and to help people I see to erase the lines between work and play. I call my home America. That’s right. I actually took advantage of the Constitution of the United States.
My Commute is Across The Hall To Our Home Office
I don’t work to survive. I am like Oprah, Arnold and Johnny who worked to express more of who THEY were instead of working to express someone (a boss or a company) else.
I have seen slaves who have had to uproot their families and head north just to remain employed. I have seen fathers snatch their children and run for the hills because Daddy was relocated to a work camp all the way across the country.
New school. New friends. New boss. Sad children. What a horrible way to live.
Wives cry. Wives also lose their friends and the slave trade persists.
The 97% Who Failed To Pay The Price of Freedom Are Employed By The 3% Who Decided To Pay It
But alas, there is a way out. How? Because each slave is allowed to BUY their way out and EACH slave is allowed to BUY his or her freedom. The price is TIME and energy and an investment into SELF versus a life exchanged for another man’s dream.
The Weak Man Refuses To Discipline Himself
The cost is NOT too high, yet it does seem like TOO MUCH money for those without the courage to pay the price.
The Price of Personal Discipline is Too High For Many People
The PRICE is this. You must be able to become your own master. Most shudder the thought. Most slaves decide that’s TOO BIG of a price. But that’s the price. You MUST willfully decide to MASTER SELF. You must decide to discipline yourself and to teach yourself the TRADE of inspiration, ambition and increase.
It takes guts, spine, time and ambition. But it is all for not and won’t work unless the slave is willing to pay THE PRICE of being able to MASTER over self. Not someone else.
What the slave resists is the fact that what he desires is OUTSIDE of his comfort zone and the cogs remain employed because going out of their comfort zone is too big of an idea for the little sullen Sheep who work for us.
www.myspace.com/networkbiz
How utterly painful it must be to live a life that is in torment compared to what lies within a mans head. It must be a living hell to be free in your MIND but shackled to a desk of hate that only reminds you of your own lack of ability to MASTER ones self. Oh well.

Amen. The Skinning of The American Dream
Where Slavery is Common Amongst Those Too Weak To Stand Up
PS: If you love what you do and spend your days exercising SELF and being who you were born to be, consider yourself a King. Because no greater gift can one give to himself that is he who decides to be SELF rather than being a reflection of someone who pays them. Prostitutes do that and so do many slaves. They “sell out” and decide to be a reflection of somebody else instead of living a life that celebrates them.
Do you.
Stand.
RISE I say!!!
Money can’t buy happiness. You know that. But being yourself can; often even in spite of money. It’s not about money. But it is about being able to afford the freedom to be your ENTIRE self versus the one you maybe settled for.
Share this please with 10,000 friends.
Your better is located in your BEST so be and do ALL that you can and your plenty will follow. When all you can do is all you can do then all you can do is enough.
Doing all you can do isn’t stopping at five o’clock or fetching another man’s Star-Bucks.
Be your own best friend. Who cares if it takes 16 hour days to locate the person YOU were born to be. It worked for Edison and Hanks and it’s worked for me and Millions of OTHER slaves who decided to PAY the price.
WhoIsLopazeLasane
You must decide simply to MASTER your SELF.
Teach people that those that fail to MASTER themselves end up being a slave to someone else.
