I rarely bother attending free webinars these days. Apart from not having the time (or the ability to sit through sessions up to 3 hours long), most are little more than poorly-presented pitches for new products or training programs. But tomorrow (Wednesday in the USA, Thursday in Australia and Asia), Better Networker is presenting a free webinar by Katie [...]

A number of people have been concerned by my prolonged absence and written to ask if I’m okay, given my recent history of deteriorating health. (Thanks sincerely for your concern and your kind messages.) To make a tortuous saga somewhat shorter, I’ve been unwell again. I returned about 3-4 weeks ago very briefly, overdid things and ended [...]

This has nothing to do with network marketing directly, but it’s a problem that just keeps growing and interfering with your ability to build your business using email. Spammers discovered long ago how to use the ignorance, inexperience, laziness and thoughtlessness of other people to build their illegal mailing lists. They do it by starting all kinds of viral [...]

If you’re [...]

In a long-overdue step in the right direction, the California 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has declared the odious Amway/Quixtar dispute resolution process (and, because it forms part of the IBO Agreement, the entire IBO Agreement) procedurally and substantively “unconscionable” . + obsolete conscionable, from conscience (interpreted as a plural) + -able . In other words, it’s a blatant abuse of [...]

The US Patents Office has long been a standing joke around the world for awarding absurd patents that would be rejected out-of-hand in any other country. But now comes a new level of absurdity that’s directly targeting network marketing. (One can only look forward to the day when some US-based opportunist applies for a patent on [...]

A lock nut works on a simple principle: if you fasten an assembly together using a bolt and a nut, over time the nut can work loose and fall off, so that the assembly comes apart. To prevent this from happening, a second nut is used to lock the first nut in place securely. So how [...]

“If you ambition to abolish your cable to this autoresponder, artlessly bang already on the hotlink below.”

That’s one spun version of “If you want to unsubscribe from this autoresponder, simply click on the link below.” It concludes an almost-indecipherable bunch of gibberish that showed up in a Google Alert just now, featuring The Profit Clinic and [...]
