3 Simple Tips To Generate An Insane Amount of Network Marketing Leads Using Safelists
I use safelist marketing as a main component of my marketing efforts. Primarily, because safelist marketing is extremely cost-effective. But, I don’t use a marketing strategy just because it is cheap…it has to work as well! Safelist marketing does work and I am going to show you today some simple tips to maximize your safelist marketing and improve your results by up to 300% or even more!
Keep in mind that when people sign up for a safelist account, the generally use a “list email” to receive the emails from other members. The reason being is that you can receive 1000s of emails every day depending on how many safelist accounts you have. This “list email” address is a secondary email address specifically used to receive safelist emails. Not everybody looks at the safelist emails they receive but there are enough marketers out there who are either just looking for opportunities and will read the emails or who are clicking on emails to earn credits so that they can send out their own email ads. The key question is “How Do I Get My Email To Stand Out From The Rest”?
1. USE WHITE SPACE: One way to get your emails to stand out from the pack is by the use of “white space”. The eye is naturally drawn to something that is different or unique. Indent your subject line by 5-10 spaces with the space bar to create white space. This will make your subject line actually look like it is beginning towards the middle of most other subject lines, making yours different and helping it to stand out.
2. INTRIGUING SUBJECT LINES: It is imperative to write eye-catching or intriguing subject lines to make sure that enough people open your emails. My most effective subject lines either ask a question or contain an incomplete thought. For example…”I Used To Make $0.00 Also…Until…” I like to make use of the “…” as it’s eye catching as well creates a desire to learn the answer. Test out your own subject lines and stick with the ones that give you the best results.
3. CONSISTENCY: The most important piece of the marketing puzzle, and where many network marketers fail, is consistency. You need to send out your email ads every day. If you do this simple task, you will be more effective than 95% of your competition. Marketing on a safelist is similar to having a small store on a busy 4 lane “main street usa” road with a lot of competition. Every day, those business owners hang signs telling the people that drive by their store every day that they have slashed prices or are having a sale or have the best Pizza in town. Today might not be the right day for you to shop there but if they can keep catching your eye, one day you will stop in. It’s the same with Safelists.
Follow these 3 simple tips and start driving insane amounts of targeted network marketing leads to your site immediately!
Pyxism Compensation Review
In this post I want to review the extraordinary compensation plan offered by Pyxism, one of the hottest new programs to hit network marketing in a long time.
Pyxism is a new network marketing program in the discount travel niche. Pyxism’s product will be the “best of the best” certificate based vacations, offering members cruises and 4-5 star resort vacations for pennies on the dollar. That’s great and all but…
Why should you Join Pyxism and What’s the Compensation Plan?
Pyxism’s compensation model is a True Follow-Me 2×3 Matrix. With a True Follow-Me matrix, your team never splits and will always remain in tact. Those of you in TVI or Dream Style Vacation Club now understand the power of Pyxism’s compensation plan! It is of utmost importance to encourage teamwork in Network Marketing and Pyxism has nailed it. In addition to encouraging teamwork, it takes 50% less members to cycle the first board (Compass Board) and 500% – 700% less members to cycle the big board (Horizon Board) than their competition!
The boards consist of 15 positions. The positions fill from top to bottom rather than bottom to top — another key point. A member is required to refer 2 paying members to Pyxism one-time to qualify to cycle. Then, as with any network marketing business opportunity, duplication of your team is paramount. Everyone must bring in 2 people.
Here is a Pyxism Compensation Review summary: How Do You Make Money With Pyxism?
When you join for the one-time fee of $325, you receive a vacation voucher valued at $300. After completion of the Compass Matrix and sponsoring your 2 members:

Why Is The Network Marketing Failure Rate So High?
Why Is The Network Marketing Failure Rate So High?
I got to thinking about this yesterday and thought I’d write a quick post about my opinion of why the network marketing failure rate is so high and causes so many people to quit. To learn what I think about how most people choose the wrong business opportunities to join, which hurts their chances of success…More About The Network Marketing Failure Rate.
In my humble opinion, network marketing offers tremendous opportunity for wealth creation for the average person. The entry fee to start your online business is inexpensive and the upside is great. The low entry fee is why many people who do not have the entrepreneurial drive get involved. They are suckered in by claims by companies of making gobs of money while the marketer is either sleeping or on the beach.
To succeed online, it takes work. To most people, this is a 4-letter word George Carlin should have included in his skit from years ago (those of you my age will know what I’m talking about)! To give you an example, I received an email from one of my downline members recently who had received an email from his downline member. His downline member was wondering if the program she had joined was really going to work because she hadn’t gotten any sign-ups in her 1 day of marketing! She was thinking that the program might be a scam! This, unfortunately, is the mindset of the majority of “network marketers” and contributes greatly to the 97% failure rate and high attrition rates that we always hear about. This failure rate is the same with people starting off-line businesses as well.
Most people are just not cut out to run their own business. It’s not in their make-up and that’s OK. But, this makes the failure rate arbitrarily high. I have no way of proving this but the failure rate of people who actually apply themselves and have a success-oriented mindset is much lower than 97%. Probably lower than 50%.
Another contributing factor is “The grass is always greener on the other side”. This statement is rarely true. I’ve learned this the hard-way throughout the years in my offline business life. The key is to find a business opportunity, or a few, that you believe in and that are legitimate, and work those programs. If you don’t know how to market, learn. That’s what I’m doing with MyLeadSystemPro. I have been in sales and marketing for my entire 20 plus year career and had done some internet marketing but nothing like this. Online network marketing is dynamic and we all need to learn as much as we can and apply what we learn in our marketing efforts, even if it’s not perfect. This applies to any business: If you educate yourself consistently, you will know more than 95% of your competition. Most people are either overwhelmed or too lazy (sorry) to apply themselves.
Then, it is the sponsor’s job to relay this information onto their members. I have been involved in a few business opportunities where I never hear from my sponsor. Even when I reached out to them! I don’t think they’d answer the door if I showed up at their house and knocked! These people will never be successful. No matter what your experience level, you need to educate, mentor, and motivate your downline. Sometimes this can be difficult because they are not receptive but you still need to do it. This will come back to you ten-fold because your message will resonate with some.
Basically, it is my opinion that the network marketing failure rate is inflated by the people who shouldn’t be in the business to begin with. With a negative mindset, there is no way to be successful. Without seeking out and following a proven system, it will take a long time to realize some success and it might be too long. For those who are giving real effort, and consistently educating themselves, I assure you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Do not give up because this is a great business with plenty of room for everyone who wants to…to succeed. And create the lifestyle that they’ve always dreamed of.

Do Not Join Pyxism Until You Read This Review!
UPDATE: Pyxism has changed their compensation plan since the writing of this review. For a more current and accurate review, CLICK HERE
The new “hotshot” on the network marketing scene is Pyxism. While the company is virtually hype-free, the industry is creating a ton of hype surrounding the pending launch on January 11, 2010. You are probably trying to decide if you should join or not if you are reading this article. I hope that this honest Pyxism Review will provide you with the information necessary to make your decision.
First, I want to say that I am a paid member of Pyxism to get that out of the way! My Dominate Pyxism team is already growing rapidly and I want anyone who joins me to completely understand the “Pyxism Business Opportunity” to make sure it’s a business opportunity you want to be involved with and feel you can be successful at. It’s important to do your due diligence before joining any opportunity, and this is no different. There just happens to be less information because the company is in pre-launch so I hope I can shed some light.
What is Pyxism?
Pyxism is a 2×3 matrix board program in the discount travel niche. The travel industry is a $7 billion industry so we know that the industry is a strong one. And, with our current economy, the discount travel sector is very strong. There are a few other popular programs that appear to be similar to Pyxism such as TVI Express, Dream Style Vacation Club and Juugo to name a few. While each offers slightly different products, the compensation plan is what sets Pyxism apart from the competition. It is much easier to cycle in Pyxism with their revolutionary True Follow-Me Matrix.
In the True Follow-Me Matrix, teams never split. This encourages a solid teamwork foundation that will last forever. This is not the case with the other programs, which leave the members basically on their own. We know that not everyone is able to recruit a massive team for themselves and that’s OK. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure your success because that ensures our success. Sponsors as well as their sponsors have a monetary incentive to ensure that everyone on their team cycles. This sets Pyxism apart from their competition and was one of the main selling points for me.
Another important aspect of Pyxism’s True Follow-Me Matrix is that it only takes 14 people to cycle the Compass Board (first board) versus either 28 or 31 people in the competitions boards. Do the math! This will produce much faster cycling.
Then, to cycle the Horizon Board (Pyxism’s Big Board), it only takes 128 people versus an average of 934 to cycle their competitors big money boards. This is something that most people do not consider before joining a program and is really the most important aspect of the compensation plan.
What is Pyxism’s Compensation Plan?
When you join for the one-time fee of $299 (plus a $50 annual associate fee), you receive a vacation voucher valued at $299. After completion of the Compass Matrix and sponsoring your 2 members:
- Entry into Upper Level Horizon Matrix
- Automatic Re-Entry into Compass Matrix following your sponsor
- Additional $300 Value Vacation Voucher each time you re-enter the Compass Matrix
- $1250 Cash on your 2nd and all subsequent cycles of your Compass Matrix
- $1000 Vacation Voucher for completing the Compass Matrix and Entry to the Horizon Matrix
- $8000 Each time you cycle your Horizon matrix
- Automatic Re-entry into the Horizon Matrix
- $1000 Vacation Voucher for each time you re-enter the Horizon Matrix
- Your Sponsor receives $1000 each time you cycle the Horizon Matrix
- Your Sponsor’s Sponsor receives $1000 each time you cycle the Horizon Matrix
Summary
I highly encourage anyone considering the Pyxism business opportunity to sign-up for free HERE, take the tour and then attend one of the live webinars with the founder and owner, Lloyd Wilson. This way you can get a complete understanding of and feel for the company, their vision, the owner, and if Pyxism is for you. You will even be able to ask Lloyd questions to make sure that there is no doubt left.
It is my feeling that Pyxism is the best opportunity to come onto the network marketing scene in a very long time. It’s not just the compensation plan but the vision and transparency of the owner and just an overall positive feeling. Being able to join at the gound floor level (any network marketers dream!) is a major selling point. I truly believe that Pyxism is going to create a lot of millionaires.
