International Smart Media Success Stories!

Thank you to our fantastic teams from around the world for sharing these photos and success stories! Here we share stories from just a few of our teams around the world: In Malaysia, the Philippines, New Zealand and South Africa.

Malaysia
One of our fantastic leaders, Tahir, has recently started building a terrific team in Malaysia. He says: “We have people in our team whose stories simply touched so many people, brought tears to so many eyes and inspired so many more.

There were people who fired their bosses within less than 3 weeks of being with Smart Media; people who for the first time took their mother to Subway to eat food and he felt so happy about it; a waiter who fired his boss so that he can go all out with Smart Media; a 19 year old kid who is an orphan, does a full time job at a cafe and in less than 3 weeks crossed over $1,000 and bought himself a brand new bike.

One of our team groups had organised an event for 100 people and 120 people showed up. It was one of many electrifying events that we've had!

I can go on and on and I was so happy to see how Smart Media is changing lives of so many people out here within just the first few months of me being here and how it will change lives of hundreds of thousands and maybe even millions of people, as our group grows around the world.

Philippines
Our business in the Philippines is another example of the excitement being created by Smart Media and Home Page Pays. We have many leadership groups developing and sales are coming in daily right across the Philippines.

We would like to acknowledge several leaders. We are grateful to Ricky and Noel who have been doing a magnificent job building their teams in the Philippines. Both have been fantastic leaders and have been conducting their own meetings.
We would also like to thank Denise who is working with closely Steve and some of her other teams to develop a very exciting business.

New Zealand

Gene, an amazing leader in New Zealand, is another person supporting a team in the Philippines. He shows how simple it is to build a global business. He says, “Some say New Zealand is the Country that’s further away from the rest of the world than anywhere else. And while it’s true, just look at a map of the world, there is so much that we do well that keeps us in touch with the world.

Take the Rugby World cup, our Rowing sport champs and so many other areas as well. Also in the Business world we do great things too. So now let’s look at the one business that is really close to my heart... Smart Media.

We have a great team here that is starting to make waves or should I say “ride the waves”.

I started doing webinars last year and in no time we had a team of several hundred people, so then we began our fortnightly breakfast meetings, which became a big hit. We have had to move venue twice as we outgrew them!!

Now we have a great venue which we won’t outgrow for a while, which also has good food... WOW!

Now that Smart Media Magazine has been released… all I can say is DOUBLE WOW!

Smart Media Magazine is the Story, the Presentation and our Credibility all in one.

I am a convert with “2-a-day, 20-in-play” that you will find in the Training section, as it’s the way to really get your business right to the top.

Now with Thousands of Members in NZ we are definitely on track to help make a better world.
I suggest you just DO the following:

    Do the basics
    Do them well
    Do them often
    Do not slow
    Do not quit
    Do become a success story
    See you all in the winner’s circle!”

Thank you Gene for all the tremendous things you are doing!

South Africa

One of our leaders in South Africa, Andrew says, “We knew we were onto something with Smart Media, but never in our wildest dreams did we realise just how big!

We are not anything special and I therefore rather I attribute it to the “no brainer” product Smart Media has developed in HPP. Yes, of course it has taken hard work, but working hard to make our business a success has been an absolute pleasure.

Dean and I decided to take Smart Media seriously 10 months ago and now we have almost 1000 Reps in South African team, which is growing rapidly with new members joining each day. If you had told us this would happen a year ago, we would not have believed it as we have both previously dabbled in Network Marketing with only varying degrees of success.

We simply started using the tools, such as the videos on the website and the international webinars. Soon our team began to grow and in early February Dean and I started doing our own South Africa specific webinars. Along with the international webinars, these turned out to be a great hit and we regularly had over 40 people attending and sometimes up to 100.

Then, in March, people started requesting we do live events. The first was a huge success with over 50 people attending.

As our team grew, we had similar events being held by leaders in other parts of South Africa. We could not have got to where we are today without them. THAT is what this business is about isn’t it? Duplication and leverage!

During this time, we have experienced amazing support from Smart Media corporate and David Martin himself. Recently, we had server issues in a certain area in South Africa which had nothing to do with the company, yet David felt he needed to look at it personally in order for our members to have the best possible experience with HPP.

Lawrence, one of our team leaders was one of the people with the server issues, so David took control of his computer in order to run a "live test" and obtain data that could be submitted to "TELKOM SA". David had things popping up on his computer that we have never seen before. Our future is in the right hands from an IT perspective… David Martin is a computer wizz.

We all felt that what we took away from the webinar with David is his passion and the focus. We can’t communicate all of his insight as this was confidential, however, what we can tell you is that he makes decisions that impact the company in the most positive manner; he has integrity and he certainly knows where Smart Media is going. Be assured, the fantastic new product developments will allow anyone who takes action to earn extraordinary income.”

Thank you Andrew and Dean. You are another example of people who, in your own words, have merely "dabbled" in network marketing and yet with Smart Media, you have become true leaders and you and your team deserve all the success that is coming your way.

Special thanks to all of the leaders who have sent us photos of your success. For all the other leaders who sent us photos and success stories, we will include them in future announcements. These is just a few of the many success stories that leaders all around the world are having with Smart Media, Today.

Smart Media is the place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed... it is all about believing you can do it and taking action.

Today I wanted to share a thought with all of you. I was thinking of various markets for our Smart Media business.

Have you noticed how many direct marketers are now using the Social Networks and online sites to promote and brand themselves?

Guess what: they are all coming to Smart Media!

How do I know that for sure?
Simple: The same reason they are using Facebook and all the others.
What we offer with our Super Value Branding Package is much more
powerful and valuable to all of these people than anything else available.

Just read the Smart Media Magazine articles:
 

“Smart Media Advertising & Branding” Pages 20 - 23

“A Revolution in Advertising” Page 24

“The Worth Of 20 Minutes of Advertising” Page 25

Watch the Advertising Branding video. This is found on the Advertising
Page of your SMT website. Sub Menu of Product Page.
Imagine the magnitude of this market alone. Any person who is currently
in a network marketing business, affiliates, Internet marketers. Work from
Home Mums and Dads. The potential of this market is mind boggling and
you can very easily have as much of it as you desire.

I promise you, they are all coming. It is just a matter of who tells them first.
Someone is going to tell them and someone is going to get paid.

WHY not YOU?

The choice is yours and those of you that realize this and take action
will be very happy you did.

It really is simple, the people in this market are looking for a way to
build a list of potential members for their businesses. They are looking
for something that can help them promote their business and make
connections. You have everything they are looking for and much more.

The $400 Super Value Package is packed full of value and you also now
have a simple way to share this with them. Give them the Magazine and
point out the articles written above. You could also mention:

Pages 10 & 11 the article about 1 to 1001+ and The Money is in the list articles.

Then guide them to the advertising video.

I know some of you are already out there working this market everyday
and congratulations to you for being the first to see the magnitude of this
market. Right now you have everything in place to set yourselves up for
life. The only thing that can prevent YOUR success is YOU.

I wish everyone of you HUGE success with us and enjoy the journey.
Have fun and build connections.

When is the best time to tell people about Smart Media or Home Page Pays?

We realise everyone is very excited about HPP 2.0 and wants it released ASAP. Some of you are even waiting for its release before telling people about it, while others are already sharing it with everyone they know.

Who is right?

There is no right or wrong in this situation and each of us has to choose what we feel is best for us. I am sharing this information with you with the hope it may help you to understand how I feel.

Here is a very powerful story that shows it from both sides that might help with your decision.

This is a true story involving Stephen and Carol (Top SMT Reps)

Many years ago, both Stephen and Carol were told about a company that was starting up. They were given the opportunity to pre-purchase and pre-sell the product before it was released. All they had was the promise of what was coming. There was NO free offer and people had to either pay $200 to join, or wait. It was a direct sales company that had only one income stream, similar to our 2xInfinity income but it was capped at $20,000 weekly, where Smart Media is capped at a massive $50,000 weekly. The company had no free member offer and they could not even demonstrate or sample the product.

They each joined the company. Carol decided to wait while Stephen, believed in the company and told everyone about it and let them make their own choices:

1.    They could say, “No thanks, I am not interested”

2. They could wait until the product was released and then join

3. They could join now to get positioned and wait until the product was released before they told anyone

4. They could join now and do what he was doing… Tell everyone they knew now and let those people decide which of the 4 choices was best for them

After 120 days of pre-sales promotion, Stephen had a good team and was earning close to $2,000 per week. He had team members earning hundreds of dollars weekly but the fun REALLY started when the product was released…

In the next 30 days, Stephen’s income went from almost $2,000 per week to $20,000 per week and in the following 30 days it went to over $30,000+ per week! He had team members earning money they never thought was possible for them!

How did they achieve this within just 30 to 60 days of the product being released?

Because they took advantage of great timing and had the power of leverage working for them. They already had many people who had either joined or were ready to join who were set to tell everyone they knew. Stephen and his “movers” had already been doing it for 120 days so their work was done. All of those people that took action earned hundreds of thousands to millions.

Carol, on the other hand, only got going with that same company upon the release of the product. However, she found that many people had already joined or had heard about it from someone else. While Stephen was making a 7-figure income, Carol was only just getting started!!!

She LOST a huge advantage because she waited and was never able to catch the ones who had been working while she was waiting… something she has always regretted and it was a very big lesson learned.

Back to Smart Media, which has infinitely more of everything than that company ever had.

§  HPP 1.0 is in place NOW

§     We have the most powerful Branding and Advertising system online

§  We have an incredible payment plan that is as good as and we believe better than ANY other company… (see our pay plan videos in the sub-menu of the Opportunity page)

§  We show proof of HPP 2.0 working on our webinars with live demonstrations

§  We have an exceptional promotional tool to share the story with the Smart Media Magazine, which will show proof of who we are as a company and what we stand for.

In other words, you have every reason to tell everyone you know right now and let them decide for themselves:

1.    “No thanks, I am not interested”

2.  Join as a Free Member

3.  Join as a Rep. and wait until we release HPP 2.0 before telling anyone

4. Join as a Rep. and start telling everyone they know and letting those people decide for themselves what is the best choice for them

Members who are waiting to share Home Page Pays are making a decision for those people before they have not been given the chance to find out exactly what we have right now or to decide for themselves what is best for them.

Imagine holding back from contacting people you would love in your team and they then contact you about it! How will you feel about losing them?

I can personally share with you that if you had me on your list and you waited I would be very upset. I would feel this way because your waiting to tell me could have cost me potentially millions of dollars. You made a decision for me without asking me.

When we release HPP 2.0, should we wait for 3.0 or the mobile application?

We already have the most valuable free member program with HPP 1.0.

Let’s use Facebook as an example of a free member program success.

Facebook do NOT give their members:

§  Great prizes, such as laptop computers, iPod’s, Nintendo’s & cash

§  Educational video libraries - Smart Library & My University

§  100’s of pieces of free software

§  Top sites section

§  Multiple search engines in one place

§  Smart Points: Members are earning smart points right now

HPP 1.0 already has all of these features and more for our Free Members, which shows there is enough right now to build a massive global membership base.

What do you think will happen when we release HPP 2.0 with the Smart Points Shopping Store and the Smart Media Games and Edutainment Games?

How about the introduction of the “in-game” advertising and virtual goods! Did you know it is estimated that 12% of Facebook’s total revenue comes from games and virtual goods and they do not even own the games?!

Read the magazine articles and watch the Product video for full details and you will understand the enormity of this project and how the release of HPP 2.0 will create such a buzz on the Internet that we will have MILLIONS of members joining from all over the world. This is not us just hoping it might happen; we know this is what WILL happen.

We also hope you understand the very worst thing we could do is release 2.0 before it is ready. To gain the greatest impact on branding and market share, we want the release to have a HUGE impact right across the Internet. We want to have the Communication systems, Social Network feature and the Smart Point Reward Store ready and Smart Media Games with games that excite people to want to play them.

The important thing is to not waste any of the opportunities that are available right now. The way some of our teams are successfully building, shows we have more than enough to attract people to our company. There are even members earning hundreds of dollars a day who have never had success in MLM before, even though they have tried and yet they are having success here, right now, with HPP 1.0!

Of course, everything possible is being done to release HPP 2.0 ASAP. However, there is very good reason to be grateful for the time you have left before its release and do all you can to build like crazy NOW.

We will never have this window of time again and those who use this time wisely will be forever grateful, just like Stephen and some of his team in the true story. Those who decide to wait could regret it for the rest of their lives just like Carol. The choice is yours to make.

We hope this has been helpful in showing you how you can take huge advantage of timing right now and set yourselves up for life by helping others do the same.

Follow our simple 1, 2, 3 System and your success is assured!

7 Ways to be a Successful Sponsor!

Ok. So you signed-up to a new business opportunity, and tried to learn all the things about your new company, so you can support your new team members. Of course, knowledge always helps especially if you are trying to be a Good Team Leader and you want your team to be successful. You must create effective sponsoring and duplication strategies. You must learn how to lead and grow a large team in order to earn big residual income. Here are seven ways to be a good sponsor for your team.

1. As a team leader, you should always lead by example. Do all the things that you want your down-line to be able to follow. Always ask the question from yourself: Could all of my team members do this? Remember: Duplication is key to success!

2. Be especially supportive to every member of your team. Try to put yourself into their shoes. Don't forget: They are your gold currency and you succeed only if they succeed!

3. Work with your active members and help them with their questions, problems, or anything else that they ask you. If they send you an e-mail, always reply to them in the first 24 hours. Sooner if it is possible. Be compassionate. Show them you care. Caring will win your trust.

4. Recognise the good work and milestones of your team members. Everyone likes to be recognised and praised for their hard work and accomplishment.

5. Send out to your team weekly newsletters, with the recognition and praise of the hard workers, and encouragement or advice what to do next. For a new affiliate, every step to success can be overwhelming. We all have our doubts and unsecured feeling occasionally and a friendly encouragement from the sponsor might help them emotionally get back on track.

6. When your down-line is slowing down with their activities or involvement, or if you want them to reach their goal, set-up some contest for a prize. Some members might like challenges and like to get a prize. Everybody likes to win a prize.

7. Finally: always educate yourself with reading new materials, books, tapes, videos on leadership and this way you can find new creative ways to motivate all your team members. Learn from the big success leaders. There are plenty out there on the internet.

To your Success, please share your views and comments!

5 Reasons why people won't comment on your Blog!

Touchy subject, I know! But have you ever wondered why your blog isn’t getting more comments? I mean you’ve put a lot of work into each post, you’ve searched for the right keywords, you finally figured out how all this SEO stuff really works, you’ve written the killer headlines, you’ve promoted your content on social media sites, you’ve commented on other blogs and you are getting the traffic but still no positive results.

I’ve been to some blogs recently and was just really surprised to see no comments at all while others had very few. After looking their blog over, I instinctively knew why. Here are a few tips that just may help.

1. You Aren’t Asking for Comments

I know this seems kind of silly right! I mean if the content is good and the people are coming then you shouldn’t have to ask. But trust me, it’s for the best.

I used to visit blogs all the time and I read their content but you know what! They never asked me to leave a comment so I didn’t. Dah! I know, seems really ridiculous but I’m serious. I didn’t know they wanted me to leave a comment.

Now remember, you may be a pro at this and you just know that if you run across some great content then you definitely are going to leave them a comment but others just aren’t sure.

The best solution is at the end of each post ask your reader to leave a comment or open up a line of communication by asking them questions and let them know that you would appreciate them adding to the conversation. Give it a try, you’ll be surprised.

2. You Aren’t Sharing the Love

Yep, that’s right. You want to share the love! What do I mean by that?

I know that a lot of blog owners are looking for that link juice. That’s a part of the blogging world my friend and there’s nothing wrong with that. Getting those backlinks to their blog is how the search engines start really paying attention to their content. Trust me, you want some of that too.

So how can you help out your fellow bloggers? Add the CommentLuv plug-in to your blog. It gives your commenters a link back to their site and if they register at the ComLuv site they will be able to choose any one of their last 10 posts to be displayed in their comment. It’s great exposure and a great way for their readers to follow your link back to your site. Win/win for everyone involved.

3. You Don’t Make It Easy For Us

So I know there is a lot of debate lately over the different types of commenting systems. Let’s see, there’s the old fashion kind (what I have here on my blog), then you have the Disque and Livefrye systems. Some people are offended that they would be asked to sign up for yet another service before they can leave a comment so this does turn some people off.

I have gotten used to the Disque because you can comment as an Open ID but the Livefrye you have to sign up for an account. What I really am finding interesting is that a few of the bloggers I visit regularly who recently made such a big deal about Livefrye being so cool because it will actually tracks their comments have gone back to using the good old fashion one again. So, just take into consideration that you want to make it easy for your commenter, not turn them off.

4. No Interaction:

Another reason for very few comments is perhaps there is no interaction taking place among the readers.

There are a few things you can do to remedy this quickly. I have two plug-ins that I really love that help me, the blog owner, know when someone has replied to a comment and then you as a commenter, being able to add to the conversation and know when others reply.

The first one is the ReplyMe plug-in which will notify the blog owner via email when they receive a reply on an already approved comment. The second one is the Subscribe to Comments plug-in so that the commenter can subscribe so that when others reply to their comment, they will be notified so they can remain part of the conversation. It is especially helpful when leaving a guest post so that you can reply to what others are saying.

5. You Don’t Care That I’m Here

Let’s face it, we all like some type of recognition that you appreciate us commenting over at your place. Now what better way to do this than to put a Top Commenter Widget over on your sidebar so we’ll be able to see who has been visiting your blog the most and leaving their comments.

You can set this widget up any way you like either with their photos or a list of names with the number of comments they’ve made. Either way, it’s a nice tribute to your blog commenters saying that you appreciate them being here. It’s a very kind gesture.

Recognise Anything?

Have you noticed that some of the above is missing from your blog or maybe some of these things you haven’t implemented yet? These may be some of the reasons your blog hasn’t gotten the attention it so richly deserves.

Make these few changes and additions and watch your comments pick up.

Your turn! Have you noticed that you receive comments because you have a lot of these things implemented over at your place? Or are you not receiving the number of comments you would like and now understand why. Would love to hear your comments and yes, I’ll ask for them. I learned my lesson early on so comment away. Please! :-)
