What I’d Do If I Had To Start All Over Again…

So what would I do if I had to start all over from scratch? No money… No list… No name recognition? Well here’s the answer in Today’s “Ask Mike” video, and I GUARANTEE that you’ll be surprised by the answer.

I’d love to hear your comments and thoughts as well!

    Awesome video Mike! This new blog is great! Look forward to all the great content you provide.

  2. Steve Conn says:

    Mike, you rock. You break it down so simply and don’t fill it with fluff

  3. Jeff Hoffman says:

    Mike,

    Fantastic video, man. I never knew you could write so well with the mouse! LOL.

    I think this video will help a lot of people. I know what you’re teaching is spot on, because it was only when I focused on the 3 things you mention that things really turned around for me.

    Now that I’m out of lead poverty, myself, I need to put that co-op in place. ;)

    Warm Regards,
    Jeff

  4. Mike says:

    Hey Mike, is it just me or is the video not playing for some reason?

    Thanks, Mike

  5. Byron says:

    Great info thanks

  6. Great Wisdom & Leadership shared Mike.

    Co-Op “Offer” is powerful! It’s synchronistic that you would mention that …our co-op worked wonders in a previous business opportunity I was in 6 years ago. Going to look @ starting that again within our new business.

    You Rock Mike!

    See you around Austin bro,
    Matthew

  7. Jason says:

    Solid video Mike. We’re trying to start a co-op right now. Do you have any recommended resources for co-op/ad rotation software? I’m not a programmer and I haven’t found much on Google. I’d appreciate any tips you could provide and I’m sure others would as well.

    Thanks!

    Jason

  8. Mike,

    I never thought of that, but you’re right about one thing. Pay per click is one of the main source of getting leads.

    Great video.

    Sidney

  9. Mike, thanks for being the switch for my lightbulb. I will be working on a co-op for my team. Have watched them for years, but watching does not produce growth and income, execution does.

    In Service,

    Jack

  10. Mike,

    Great video. If people would learn to master a skill set and then give away free education (value) upfront to build a list, they would be successful.

    I personally enjoy building an MLM on the backend, but I do so through offering value upfront.

    The video you just recorded is worth thousands in the hands of those who pay attention.

    Thanks for all the value you add over and over to our industry!

    Hey Mike:
    I really enjoyed your video and it was quite a coincidence(I know there are no real coincidences!!) because just this week I have been contemplating joining a co-op. I had never heard of them until this past week. For me personally, I am not interested in running the co-op myself. There are certain aspects of my business that I really like to spend a lot of time on, such as writing. By handing my PPC over to a co-op, it will free up time to spend on what I am good at.
    You always deliver value Mike! Thanks.

    Jan

  12. Mike, you’re a master. Great info, clear, honest, right to the point as you always do. You even gave me a great idea in this video! I mean, I’d heard it before but this time it clicked! You know what I mean? Thanks a lot, kind regards

  13. Jim Swank says:

    Great video but unless you learned PPC for free, you started with the money to get the PPC Training. But again, it was good info. The key is your ability to start a fire, a money making fire. We just need to know how to start the fire.

  14. John DeSotle says:

    Mike,
    Great insight. I have worked coop’s with my past career and not only is this a great fit for the home based, but you have opened up my mind to others. It’s all about the way we think, mindset, From my part of the universe, thank you.

  15. Mike,

    Just got started and there is so much to learn. Thanks for creating MLM Traffic Formula and all the other great resources. NOW WHERE DO I START?

  16. Tracey Hausel says:

    Mike,

    I love how you can pack so much content in such a short time. Looking forward to this blog’s updates.

  17. Seth Badu says:

    Hey Mike,

    Great post. I had a really good feeling that if you had to start all over again you would go about using PPC as I know you swear my PPC as the best traffic generation method on the planet. So I wasn’t so surprised from that aspect.

    But turning it into an incentive for prospects to join your team was a sucker shot to my blind side. I deffinitely wasn’t expectiing that.

    At this point in time it really doesn’t take much effort on your part to drive a ton of traffic to a website. All you have to do is say your name and people come to you like flies on…..(well you know)

    You are a great inspiration to the industry Mike. Keep up the Great Leadership.

    To your success and nothing less,

    Seth Badu

  18. Venessa says:

    Fabulous idea ! The lightbulb really went off for me ! I am going to try to start a local co-op TODAY !

    Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou !!!

  19. catalina says:

    great info this might help alot

  20. Gloria Booth says:

    Thanks Mike. I’m loving your style of attraction marketing through giving value.

    Very thought provoking video. The concept is fantastic although I’m not sure I know enough about successful ppc to implement it, but it’s definately one for the pot.

    Thanks again
    Gloria

  21. Vipul Shah says:

    Hey Mike

    Your video is awesome and fueled many ideas for my organization, A co-op as you mentioned is the best way to take full advantage of the MLM system and a total win-win-win when implemented right! It’s a matter of putting all the pieces together and get a system like this going.

  22. Daniel says:

    What can i say Priceless Mike you are the light at the end of the tunnel for many and myself. and for me personally a angel on earth that has come into my life at the right time.I am honored to know you and blessed.Give me a shout soon…..

    Mike

    You have change my entire mentality/vision and probably this is the first time i have the opportunity to express my gratitude for your products… so officially, Thank you!

    About the blog: Clean and Simple. Looks great.

    About the video: Again, Simplicity and makes me think about the basics. Like Jeff, its time to put that co-op in place.

    Fantastic, Mike!! Excellent and practical information that virtually “anybody” can use and become successful over time.

  31. I have had hubdreds of promises, are you going to deliver?

  32. LadyJW says:

    Thanks Mike. You are awesome. I just love your how to, no nonsense, straight up talk/attitude.

  33. John Harrington says:

    Nice job on the message in video. Your doing a great job.
    Keep it up.

    John

  34. Chuck says:

    Great ideas, both the starting over again tip, and the video answers.

  35. Ron Diomedes says:

    Hey Mike, Great nugget. You in fact offer two sources of information:
    1 gain a skill set
    2 use O.P.M.

  36. Mike and Tim,

    Good karma for you both. So many great comments of appreciation. What a great feeling you must have helping so many people.

    Your work has been an inspiration and is being used in my organization right now. Much thanks.

  37. Jay Couture says:

    Mike, the Man..the Myth..the Legend! LOL Good work on a simple, effective and …BELIEVABLE set of instructions on how to do this correctly. In a sea of marketing “crap” we have on the internet, it is good to finally get a down-home results focused approach on how-to with out breaking the bank. Here’s to success. Salud!

  38. Blanchard Warren says:

    When you talk about pay per click, what do you mean? I have Jim Yaghi’s course and Perry Marshall’s material. If you mean Google Adwords, I don’t how you would use it to get leads. Or do you mean getting involved with a company that provdes pay per click leads?

  39. suresh aka WINR LLC says:

    Mike – this is a great idea……how about doing a Video on building a List…..thanks

    Suresh

  40. Mike,

    Great Video. Once again you are right on point. Back in the 90′s I would create co-ops for direct mail marketing and display advertising in magazines. This gave my business a huge advantage. In fact I utilized this strategy to build a downline of well over 3500 distributors within a years time frame.

  41. Rene says:

    What a phenominal, valubale piece of information. A fantastic insight. Keep up the good work. One day I’ll make it to Austin, so I can personally shake your hand.

  42. Dave Lovett says:

    Coop Article Timing Was Eerie!

    Mike,

    Wow! It was like reading my mind and that is so eerie. So many people have asked me in the last few months about how I could help them get some leads on Google for our networking business.

    I’ve been sending them to learn to fish for themselves with Yaghi’s course on your PPC Domination but behind the scenes, I have been looking all over the place to put a coop in place just to get them started.

    As always, you are so in tune with the marketplace!

    Tks,

    Dave

  43. Hi Mike, greetings from Norway.

  48. kevin Thomas says:

    Thanks for the tip Mike,the idea of using a co-op is something that’s rarely talked about within the network marketing industry and even though co-ops are nothing new as it relates to business per say the concept of using a co-op to generate start up costs for monetization and advertising expenses is a great idea.Anybody want to start one?

  49. John Davies says:

    That’s pretty frickin’ sweet Mike, and we all know that it worked out pretty well for you……(at the time) – but don’tcha think it’s a little “old skool”. Damn straight, brother.

  50. Nellita Haase says:

    Hi! Loved the idea of a video respone. Thanks for always sharing great information!

  51. Great Video Mike!
    I’ve been involved with your system for awhile now but it is always good to regroup and have another look from the start.

  52. Sandra says:

    Hi Mike, the PPC and co-op thing is great but how would I go about implementing it? How much do you need to start a PPC? And where can I get info on cost effective PPC? Thanks for your advice in advance.

    Warmest Regards,
    Sandra

  53. Gautam says:

    Thanks Mike . Was very informative

  54. Tom James says:

    Very interesting idea. Thanks for being so forthright, as always. I’m new at this, but I must say that your information has been more than worth the price of admission.

  55. I have hundreds of emails coming into my inbox everyday, but yours I look forward to the most. There is always a nugget in there somewhere, and this little video was no exception

  56. Lidia Abadia says:

    Hi Mike, thanks for sharing about the co-op. This idea is still a great solution for team building as lead generation is the most attractive selling point for any Network Marketer. I always enjoy reading your mail and watching your videos.

  57. Paul Goodrich says:

    Thanks….

  58. What perfect timing Mike, I was in the starting stages of doing this without any concrete advice, and now I know exactly how to take this to the next level.
    Great content, thank you.

  59. Great blog.
    Great Video, Mike.

  60. jay says:

    thanks for the great info .like always good info

  61. Great idea, Mike, and I’ll start working on my PPC skills. In the meantime…can you get Jim to get a co-op going? Just let me know when and I’ll put down my money!

  62. Faithson says:

    This will benefit for those like me which still finding my own way to get free traffic. :) Thanks Mike.

  63. Steven says:

    The advice you gave was great, I learned a lot of things I wouldn’t have even thought about.

    Thanks

  64. Damien says:

    Mike,

    That was money – baby!!!

    Hell yea!

    Damien

  65. Mike,

    Thank you for the insight. Always coming with new info…not just the same old boring stuff. Great concept with the co-op. Will be putting that into action. Look forward to the next video.

  66. Matej Varga says:

    Yes Mike,Skills are inevitable.

  67. eduardo says:

    i’m interested in the videos.

    thanks.

  68. ann pierce says:

    Thanks mike,I enjoyed your videos and advice well said!

  69. Yes, those gems of insight are so valuable. When we travel the road to success and look back it is so clear how and why. However looking at it from the other perspective when you are just starting out can be overwhelming.

    That is why as you stated getting started and taking action is the real treasure to your success with anything that you are doing. Act, evaluate, adjust and act!

    Learn forward it is all with in your reach when you take action towards your goal.

    Really like your blog design and your video marketing skills, thanks as well for the great info. on the video.

  72. I recently purchased a number of your products and have been somewhat overwelmed with information…I wasnt exactly sure where to begin to use the information that I have learned through your courses(I have been doing more thinking than taking action. One of the ideas that I had was exactly what you said in your “If I had to start all over video”. Your video verified were I will begin to take action!

    Many Thanks

    Matthew Aaron

  73. THANK YOU MIKE DILLARD. Wow I sat down when I hed ZERO DOLLARS and actaually CALLED my downline to do the next with me. I RAN OUT OF MONEY!!! My ad Publishers were calling me BIG TIME!!! With my back against the wall…. I guarenteed to not only get them shares but I was sooo HUNGRY!!! I told them I would get them totally ACTIVATED to GIVE THEM 10 percent MORE if they were the first number to come in with me and any recruiting material that worked for me?? IT would be my gift to them valued at (such and such dollar amount) THAT and a WHLOLE SLEW OF “PAYIN’ CUSTOMERS that would (with my help) EXPLODE your downline!! WHEN DO YOU WANT ME TO GET STARTED?? then i shut up (the silent close) and wait for response…and you know what happens next….another signup! thanks MIKE at least I am on the right track.

  74. JByrd says:

    It was great material, but I don’t have a team or money so how do I start a co-op. I just purchase material and have just started going through it. I look forward to hearing more from you and to all I am going to learn in your trainings.

  75. Tim Reed says:

    Hi Mike,
    Very informative video but still I have a question.Like affiliate, can I have ad in your Co-Op marketing and how much monthly will cost me per URL? And how to get there?
    Thanks a lot.

    Warmest regards,
    Lenka N.

  79. Matt says:

    Hey Mike – Great Info as always. Thanks for taking the time to share.

    Thanks Again!!

  80. Jane says:

    Hi Mike,
    Its good to finally get a way of reaching you. Thanks for all your mails,they have been nice.
    My concern is personal …with respect to where i leave.
    Can i possibly do your business from Nigeria? I will be glad if you can address such limitations as payment plans etc. Credit cards are not widely used in my country yet,have you got any alternative transaction option?
    Best wishes.
    Jane.

  81. Very interesting & eye-opening! Thanks for sharing!

  82. Pip says:

    Tanks for the info Mike. Like others I’m unsure how to set up a Co-op. Can you do a training on this?
    Thanks

  86. Greg Martin says:

    WOW… yes that was a light bulb moment for me. Thanks Mike that was awesome. I can see myself doing the same co-op idea with my business.

    Great one… bring us more.

  87. David Foster says:

    Hey Mike!

    Great information. I was just talking to Lehman yesterday about this question that he had asked you and some other top earners on the Internet. I am actually working on these very things.

    I have watched you since 2004 and remember when I first subscribed to your list, I received a CD, and I will not mention any names, but it was “magic” and then I watched you leave that for what you do now and that has been a HUGE inspiration to me, and has me on the rise to become the social networking guru…and I owe it all to you!

    Thanks man!!
    David

  88. Wow, what a fantastic idea. I guess I was on the right track, trying to figure out how to do PPC for others to raise cash for my own campaigns. This is brilliant, all the converted leads end up under your own COOP campaign…got some work to do.

    All the best!
    Jason

  89. OH! Ya baby you are always spot on when it come to promoting and gaining a huge advantage when building a business.

  93. Dan Pine says:

    Hey Mike,

    I must say I’m a little upset–you always give away the good stuff for free. Not that most people will implement what you give them, but you really should be charging for this stuff.

    I’m not sure if this will help anyone out here, but we have a few openings available in our ad coop if someone’s looking for one to get in on. Just shoot me an email to dan@createbuildinnovate.com if you’re interested in details.

    Keep up the good work Mike!

  94. Mike, I’ve been in the business for over 3 yrs with little success. I’m in the process of rebuilding my team which I had over 400+ reps but now down to 40 active. I need this!!

  95. Mike, I’ve been in the business for over 3 yrs with little success. I’m in the process of rebuilding my team which I had over 400+ reps but now down to 40 active. Can you help!!

  96. Hey Mike! This is Eddys Velasquez from Victoria, Texas.
    I like the co-op idea but by asking the people to buy shared from you…how did you receive their money?…online or cash or how did you do it?…
    I look forward to the MLM Traffic Formula 2.0
    and I know that by the end of the year I should have a good testimonial for you to put on your programs!

  97. Nancy Campbell says:

    Mike,

    Thanks for answering a key question that I am sure many newbies like myself have been asking. I have found your resources to be tremendous and learn something from every email, video, tweet, etc. It helps to have an area to focus on as I continue to develop my skills and encourage my team to do the same.
    Thanks again for the actionable advice.
