Fraidy has a "New" Opportunity?

Well, it seems that this Amazing New Opportunity starts on January 12, 2009 and it's then that all will be revealed.

All Fraidy can tell you is that it's a European business model not seen outside Europe before, or at least not seen in the USA before.

Apart from that ... Fraidy can say nothing more!

Will it be something for you to be involved with? Will even The Fraidy Cat Marketer be involved? Fraidy doesn't know the answer to either question.

But one thing's for sure: Fraidy will certainly check it out on January 12, which for Fraidy, will probably be January 13, Perth, Western Australia time. And then Fraidy will let you know his thoughts on it.

Just one other thing that Fraidy would like to mention: Have you checked out ZenZuu yet. No? Then click the link and check it out as the ZenZuu owners reckon that the 80% revenue share will change social networking platforms forever.

Well, that's all for now.

Fraidy.

What's up with Paystone, Fraidy?

I tell you this, good people. Thomas Prendergast is right on the ball when it comes to his people.

We all got an email from him today saying that Paystone is going out of business, and if there are any unclaimed monies with Paystone to transfer them to our bank accounts real quick smart. Any monies that aren't claimed by Dec 31, 2008 will be forfeited to Paystone. Now that's rough. Miaow! Scratch! Here's the section straight from Tom's email.

______________

Important Alert!
Paystone is Closing! Cash Out Your Balance Now!

We were very surprised today to discover that Paystone is closing its business. Go to www.paystone.com to read their official annoucement, but the bottom line is that they have suspended their service as of 12/19/2008. Inetekk was not notified ahead of time that this would occur (in fact, as of right now still no one from Paystone has called to let us know!) But, for all of you that have paid attention to recent Veretekk bully pulpit emails the past couple months can see, God works in mysterious ways... because, Veretekk has already paid its last commission to customers using Paystone as we migrate to Alert Pay. It was sheer coincidence that we made the decision to proceed with that change starting a month or so ago, because now it's clear that had we not done so, the abrupt decision by Paystone to halt its service would be creating a serious issue for Veretekk and all of its loyal customers that receive commissions each month! All is well however, and we will process the first run of commissions through Alert Pay as scheduled on January 10, 2009 (commissions for December).

We are sending out this email because in reading the Paystone announcement it appears that you must cash out any balance you have in your Paystone account by 12/31 or else lose it! So if you have not already done so, go transfer any balance you have in your Paystone account to your own bank account right away! Subscribers that had any pending commission payments from Inetekk that they had not yet accepted in Paystone have already had those pending commissions removed.
______________


Now, that's pretty poor coming from a business in the Internet world. Fraidy gives this move a full four scratches across the cheek to Paystone and it's Owners/Managers.

So if you have any dealings with Paystone, get you and your money right out of town. Miaow.

And then sidle up to AlertPay and say, "G'Day. I want one of your accounts, just like The Fraidy Cat Marketer said I could get."

And I've got to get out of this blog, because this is the fourth post for today!

Why is spam still making it to my inbox?

And the spam article

_______________________________________



Spam is all invasive and is almost impossible to keep out of an email inbox, no matter what filters you use. The only perfectly spam-free inbox is one that is never used! And that's hardly useful, is it.

One thing to remember is this: email was never designed to be a mass-communication tool, and so was therefore never designed for mass use.

Hence the ease at which spammers can send spam.

Spammers use a variety of methods to get into your inbox, one way being to crawl the web and gather every email address they find. They can then use these addresses themselves, and also sell them to other spammers. Hence, once you're on one list, you'll get on many spammers' lists. Often, once this happens, the only answer is to quit that email address and choose another. Not very convenient, is it.

So what is the definitive and total answer to keeping spam out of email inboxes?

In my view it has to be the use of desktop technology that allows for two-way communication, and ditch email for good.

If the desktop application is not two-way, then email would have to be used for the reply, and that means that our initial problem still exists.

In short, what we need is a paradigm shift in relation to Internet mail, and as such we must opt to use a private and closed system, rather than the undesigned and outmoded 1970's technology, which is email.

This introduces you to the new net world of Private Internet Mail, and a unique two-way private Internet mail system, where spammers and others can not get in. Hence, spam is history: defeated.

Get Rid of Cash-Register Eyes in Your MLM Business

Fraidy'll simply post the articles right here.

_______________________________________

Do you have cash-register eyes when it comes to people?

With your current and past MLM companies do you see or have you ever seen the people in your downline as simply things and not the same as yourself?

Do you only think about yourself and getting what you want in business and not providing value to your downline?

If you do or if you ever did, then you have been guilty of having cash-register eyes.

So what should you do about it?

How should you stop this malady; this disease of MLM and network-marketing business?

Just think for a moment of what you want in your chosen MLM business: Don't you want financial security, an easy life style, no money-worries, the opportunities to travel, etc?

Of course you do.

And so do the individual people who make up your downline. So how do you go about this?

Simple. Treat them with respect and treat them as you would like to be treated. Stop calling them your downline and refer to them as your business colleagues. Talk to them as people, and not just a cash cow, because if you do, then in time, without you doing much of anything else, you will most likely make money from their activities because they will want to do the money-making activities for themselves.

Is this a mercenary way to think?

No, simply because that is how all business works, even when you work at a J.O.B.

If you have a good boss at your job, then most likely you will be more productive and make him money. As a result you will be paid a small amount of money called a wage or salary. This is a preset amount most of the time, no matter how much money your work produces. This is your share of the profits.

When you have a team in an MLM business, then because you put in the effort in the beginning to find, train, encourage and generally manage your team, your MLM company rewards you with a share of the profits that they produce. Even board members of large corporations can be paid these same types of monies, and in these cases they are called bonuses, even if the company does not produce a profit.

In MLM businesses these bonuses are only paid on sales made by your team. Hence a truer reward system.

Therefore shouldn't you build a large team and reap the rewards?

So STOP! with the cash-register eyes and treat your team as people.

They will reward you well!

What Fraidy has learned in the last few days

A while ago Fraidy wrote a couple of articles and posted them online in various article banks.

Yesterday Fraidy googled them and found a great store of sites had them correctly on their pages. That is his name was mentioned, and his bio was in place.

However, Fraidy saw that a couple of sites didn't!

Miaow, scratch!

Fraidy'll probably get a couple of emails of to the domain registrars and have that rectified in the next few day. But then again, he may not, preferring for these deeds to backfire on them.

The articles were "Get Rid of Cash-Register Eyes in Your MLM Business" and "Why is spam still making it to my inbox?"

As Fraidy had some old links in these articles that would no longer do him any good, Fraidy quickly re-registered them so that anyone clicking on the articles would at least have a chance to read The Fraidy Cat Marketer's blog, miaow!

While Fraidy no longer has an MLM affiliation, the information there is still relevant. As for the Spam article, that did lead to Fraidy's MLM opportunity, which for him, did not pan out. A pity: the concept was good.

Once Fraidy can learn how to place the articles on this blog, then they will be.

And that's a Fraidy bye to you.

Fraidy: What have you done for the last week?

Has it been a week since my last post?

Yikes! And slips! (as we used to say when we played marbles as boys.)

It has been. But I have not been idle. No, Sir!

I've been attending trainings for Veretekk and working on my website at andreaskrokene.com, which is a work-in-progress.

And today I received an email from another company that I'm promoting AmazingNewopportunity.com and I sent it out to my fellow pre-enrollees.

So, that gives you an idea of what my last 7-days has been like.

Not to mention the several hundred emails I get each day as a consequence of Internet marketing, and that rotten scourge, spam.

Oh, yes. Just to keep you in the loop with this new company. Here's their email

______________________________

Andreas,

January 12th you have an appointment, mark your calendar now because as a VIP Pre-enrollee, on this important day, you will have in your possession valuable details disclosing our powerful income producing business model - which for you as a first-mover, could completely change your financial future. We recognize you'd like to have all the details now, but complete secrecy is required by this European entry into North America. You'll understand why very soon.

What I can share with you right now is this:

The business model you will be working with is web centric and "system dependent" ...a plug-and-play business model; motion picture, multi-media driven marketing systems, contact management systems, lead generation, training, reporting and product fulfillment all take place online. What you bring is your income goal for 2009 and beyond, and the willingness to learn and act on a new pathway to abundance.

Two former network marketing company owners are combining their years of experience to open North America for the UK based company January 12th. They know well the pitfalls of the industry, what works, what does not work - and how to train, lead and motivate. Working with them you will be empowered to earn more money, faster and easier than ever before.

The industry sector represents trillions of dollars annually to our global economy and is unscathed by the current troubled economy. Who wants job security (which no longer exists) when you can have financial security operating your own business in a recession proof industry.

The UK based founders are successful business executives with 2 decades of experience in network marketing. Their successes and highly-regarded reputations have been built founded on principals of integrity, trust and respect for others.

The European designed, 'direct deposit' compensation plan is completely revolutionary. Its ingenious simplicity centers around the power of 2. It will be the template for future compensation plans in the industry. Your maximum earnings potential can be realized with this compensation model. Your team will share in the abundance.

January 12th you will have knowledge which could completely transform your financial future.

Andreas, build your VIP Pre-enrollment data base now. You have everything to gain and nothing to loose. If you join us January 12th you could have a rapidly accelerated income because you prepared early. If you choose not to join us, you own the data base you've built so do with it as you please.

Login to your private, personal VIP Pre-enrollment site. See the rapidly growing number of people pre-enrolling. Use our pre-written VIP Invitation to share your pre-enrollment site with others. Do this daily! Build now...January 12th is coming at us quickly.

This Fraidy Cat Gets Sooooo Confused. Do You?

Part of the problem on the Internet is the soul-destroying information overload, which I am so affected by.

A lot of the time when joining one programme, or similar it becomes necessary to join other membership sites as part of the deal.

This confuses the oomph out of me, and The Fraidy Cat Marketer goes into a tail-spin. Nothing gets done. Is that the same with you, too?

I thought so. It's a common problem; one that won't go away any time soon.

So what's the answer? The easy part is personal organisation.

The hard part is; How do we do it, Fraidy Cat?

Good question. I'll work on it and get back to you.

Miaow for now.

Jaffa is No Fraidy Cat

I used to write a blog called "Jaffa the Cat Says", which was written in my cat Jaffa's voice. I should have kept it going. But the problem with it was me! I found it difficult to get ideas to write about.

"With a cat! Are you crazy?" you boom.

"Well, actually, it was my fraidy catness and my self-judging mentality that got the better of me." I defend, "And, well, er, um: I was scared to be me with Jaffa's voice."

Just like when my young son, David, was a boy and he wanted to go "fishing" with his cane pole, string and home-made hook in the stormwater drain and I didn't take him. I was scared of what "other" people might think!

Now, it's a matter of (a sound coming from my mouth with my tongue waving and spit flying everywhere) and I no longer care too much. (Well, sort of. Some things can be hard to shake.) Now David is nearly 21 and it's a bit late for those games!

Oh, well. That's life.

So getting back to Jaffa; she's now about 12, and pity any cat that comes into her domain. She chases them out of it. It does not matter in the slightest if it's a tom cat or a female. No other cat is welcome. This is Jaffa's domain; and she is queen.

The last time I saw her chase a cat it was a tom and I watched as Jaffa chased him out to the front boundary, which is when Jaffa stopped chasing him.

Poor Thomas! He went walking up the street flicking his tail growling and grizzling. But he has NOT been back.

Other times that Jaffa has had fights with cats, fur flew like confetti; mostly the other cat's.

Jaffa is the boss.

So this fraidy cat has to remember that and just do what needs to be done in marketing. Send out his email campaigns, make those calls, etc.

And with the training I'm getting with Veretekk my confidence is growing, also my knowledge.

So join me and send an email to homecrew@veretekk.com and see what it's all about. In the worst case scenario you'll learn a bit about marketing if you take advantage of the free training available.

Friday, December 5, 2008

So what has The Fraidy Cat Marketer been doin' since last post?

Good question. And here's the answer.

I've put my Fraidy Catness aside and I've joined a couple of programmes, listened to some Internet marketing training and generally had a good time.

But for the moment I'll only tell you about one.

And that's ... wait for it... Veretekk.

Veretekk is a lead generation Company that has to be checked out to believe.

No! That's not hype. Just fact. Check it out for yourself.

Go here http://homecrew.veretekk.com sign up for a free silver account and start taking advantage of all the free tools and training.

Try it for a week or a month and then see if you should upgrade.

But really put it through it's paces and use the training.

eMail me at homecrew@veretekk.com

That'll do for now.

Bye.
