"I don't care about thousands of MLM millionaires. I'm committed to creating millions of network marketing 'thousandaires'. InterNetwork Marketing makes that possible for (almost) everyone... which, of course, includes you and me."
Hi, I'm John Fogg.
I'm interested in meeting and working with authentic, intelligent, sincere and serious people who want to learn how they can develop a thriving network marketing enterprise online. If that's you...I want to help (and...to learn).

(There is.) Check out the resources below to learn more.
If you've questions... please contact me.

The Power & Magic of InterNetwork Marketing
(from TheGreatestNetworkerWeblog 07.19.07)
Success in marketing always comes down to one three-sided thing. And...
Success in network marketing always comes down to that same thing.
Saying the right things to the right people at the right time.
Saying the right things to the right people at the right time.
Saying the right things to the right people at the right time.
Saying the right things...
to the right people...
at the right time.
"Saying the right things" is, of course, critically important. (And you can begin to learn some valuable and useful new ways of doing that here:
Squidoo.com/SpeakingAndListening.)
But the power and magic of InterNetwork Marketing lies in (all) the way(s) Web 2.0 (and above) helps you find the right people… at the right time…and more of them than was ever possible before.
And btw, this is NOT that easy, because it requires hard and smart work and a good amount of both. (Sorry, but it's time somebody said that.)

InterNetwork Marketing can be a morass...
That is to say, something that hinders, engulfs, or overwhelms.
Besides the fact that there are dozens of different approaches and strategies out here/up there… and your job must be to find your own mix of the two or three that fit your skills to fix your focus on (because any&8212;much less many—more than that will cripple ALL your efforts and have you spinning your wheels in very costly mud)&8230; the biggest question is "Who can you trust?" Which of the myriad of Internet marketing icons, offerings and gurus are the REAL DEAL?

Whose Space...
Of everyone on the Internet, 64% visit MySpace, 29% visit FaceBook, 35% visit YouTube, 27% visit Wikipedia. Social Marketing is the biggest "where it's at" there is online.
Waaaay back on August 8, I wrote in TheFoggBlogg that there were 195,465,953 folks on MySpace (give or take those thousands with multiple pages), adding that that was, "approximately 3 percent of the world's population" and... "If MySpace was a country, it would be the fifth largest population in the world, right behind Indonesia and ahead of Brazil."On August 21 (at 3:13 AM), MySpace had 197,638,350 members... 2,172,397 more people had joined in a little less than two weeks. That's 167,000+ a day.
On September 1, MySpace was up to 198,794,572. 1,156,222 more members in 10 days. That's only 115,000 or so per day. Do you suppose they were slipping?
Today (01.09.08), MySpace has 218,439,664.
There has never been a marketplace like it... ever.
Whose Space (continued)
The old gray mare... Old dogs, new tricks... But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now... and on the "old" adages go.
Least you believe all that Gen Y propaganda (and I do...), the world is not going to heaven in a hip hop basket. If you're an older (as I are), we are not dead yet in terms of Web 2.0. Encouragement here below from the fun-learning collector's of news and views at http://reveries.com.
"They're starting to understand their age group-they're living it," says Susan Ayers. She's talking about venture capitalists and their new interest in older people as online users, reports Matt Richtel in The New York Times (9/12/07). It seems that a few v.c.'s, some of whom are growing older themselves, suspect that their high blood-pressure is caused by teens who "flit from one trendy site to the next." So they are turning their attentions-and investment dollars-to "a host of new social networking sites aimed at baby boomers and graying computer users." Says Paul Kedrosky, a venture capitalist: "The older demographic has a bunch of interesting characteristics... not the least of which is that they hang around." More of the article here >>
(The piece ends) Peter Petzaris, president of Multiply.com, says "96 percent of the company's active users returned each month," suggesting a certain "stickiness" that youth-oriented sites may not be able to match. In any case, the raw numbers certainly favor boomer networks-"there are 78 million boomers-nearly three times the number of teenagers." What's more, "the number of internet users who are older than 55 is roughly the same as those who are aged 18-24, according to Neilsen/NetRatings.
___________________
Fascinating (to me). I've thought that if MySpace published their stats we'd learn that there was more of their 200,000 new members a day growth coming from an increasingly older demographic. We (the older ones) may not have the fast fingers trained by hours of Play Station needed for a life of text messaging, but I'm convinced more older people will be taking over Web 2.0 as time goes by...
"The one thing this generation hasn't done yet is network online."
Oh yeah. InterNetwork Marketing indeed.

Making a Living From a Hobby You Love...
The first piece here piggy-backs on the one above from Jackie, Building your Business Online with Message Boards and Forums. It's from a (kind of) recent posting in TheFoggReport (07.10.07) was this article, MLM Niche Markets - 7 Steps to Profit. It's by home-based business and InterNetwork Marketing "expert" Richard Dennis. (Click on his name link to get to his website. It's filled with great InterNetwork Marketing material.) The piece is a to-the-point primer on Relationshipping, Friendshipping and Partnershipping on-line.
Here's another bit from Richard, albeit ambling an' a tad rambling... it's truly a multi-fact-pack of proven "know how to do" in a 60-minute audio with a grab bag of information on how you can get more traffic when you piggyback on well-known, high-traffic authority websites. It's here (actually there) on his website: How To Leverage High-Traffic Sites. Let me know what you learn that's valuable and useful. I've listened to it three times already!
The man also has a small "ton" of Squido pages and is a Top100 lensmaster. Also, check him out at Richard Dennis-EzineArticles.com where's he's an Expert Author with lots of "good to know" material for both off and online business building.

Promoting Your Business on the Internet
I recently recorded one of The MasterMind Sessions with Lasse Rouhiainen (the link is to his Squidoo page) titled "How to Promote Your Business On the Internet". Here's the Session description:The advent of web 2.0-social and business networks or "platforms" such as MySpace, LinkedIn, Ryze and websites like Squidoo, has placed the power of the Internet into everyone's hands. You no longer need the expense and expertise required to construct your own website to spread the word about you and your network marketing business world wide. And the even better news is...much to most of it is free! Lasse has thrown himself into learning and sharing his discoveries for promoting your business with a host of value-added strategies, relationship building and free online tools.
And here's the link to stream and/or download How to Promote Your Business On the Internet. It's about one hour long. (It's a no-charge, no-strings thing.)
I'm also asking Lasse to share some more resources with you here. He's a generous guy (and he is my "Personal Online Coach"), so I'll be posting my progress under his guidance and results here—literally.
To wit: 14 (yup, count 'em) new quick and clean knowledge resources from CoachLasse on YouTubeNAME: "How to Advertise a New Business" (04:11), "How to Use Google Trends Research Tool" (06:21) and "How to Do Powerful Forum Marketing" (07:10). Valuable and useful learning for InterNetwork Marketers and another "Thank you Lasse".
Here's an informative treat: European Web Two-Oh marketing expert Juho Tunkelo interviews Lasse about: The important points to consider when creating your first video... How you can use the online video sites for your marketing... How YOU can gain credibility by doing online video... and more useful, valuable things for building your business online.

and more traffic secrets and lead generators from Dennis Karginilla
I just completed and posted a MasterMind Session with Dennis Karganilla, a 29 year-old InterNetwork Marketing "wunderkind " who works exclusively with web platforms MySpace, and YouTube. Though I hate to dangle the "cash carrot" proof in front of people to make certain I get your attention (I'm going to do that now)and, Dennis' methods have brought in more than $400,000 in sales since February... income acquired by doing the very things he teaches about navigating the uncharted and somewhat seas of Web 2.0. (Perhaps "waves" is a better word.)
At any rate, for your viewing, learning, InterNetwork Marketing pleasure and profit, the below...

Yes, Dennis is selling his course(s). No I'm not an affiliate (yet). And, I expect you will learn a ton at no charge by investing some time in watching what Dennis and others are sharing about InterNetwork Marketing on YouTube.

How To Get Free MLM Leads + Traffic Secrets! (Vol. 1) 0 points
Shipping & Receiving
InterNetwork Marketing is all and always about speaking with people...
this business is just the same online as it is face-to-face, on the telephone, in print, using recordings or videos... The quality and quantity of these "conversation" and "connections" will lead directly to a person's success in any and every aspect of this business. (Which is why it all starts with learning speaking and listening understanding and skills.)
One of my teachers, Kurt Wright, said:
"The number one cause for network marketer's
failure is having the wrong agenda. They set out
to "GET" people to become customers...to "GET"
people into the business."
What do you do when someone (even some loved one) tries to GET you to do something?
Most people react to someone trying to GET them to do something-even when it's "good for them"—with resistance and a fight or flight response. It's the same on-line as off.
With Shipping & Receiving, the agenda is simply to CONNECT with people through CONVERSATION and see if your product/ service/ opportunity and especially you and that person are a FIT for each other. This approach is rejection free and has much higher odds for success.
The four phases of "Shipping" (in this order, because one MUST come before the other and leads to the next) are:
Relationshipping, Friendshipping, Partnershipping
and Leadershipping.
Do this "shipping" business well and you will receive all the personal, professional and financial rewards this remarkable business offers. The more and better your shipping is, the more and better your receiving will be.
There's more on Speaking & Listening and Shipping & Receiving in my Special Report, The 4 Cornershones of GET RICH SLOW. (Don't you just hate that title... Thing is, it really is the fast way of all.) It's a FR33 (cute) PDF. Just click the title link above.

It's all (and always) a conversation...
Whether with your mouth and ears or your fingers and eyes, successful InterNetwork Marketing requires you master the skills of Speaking & Listening
In the intro to my Squidoo lens about SpeakingAndListening I ask:
If you continue to speak the way you've been speaking...
If you keep on listening the way you listen now...
Will you achieve the results you desire in your life and work?
For some inexplicable and bizarre (to me) reasoning, many people beginning to build their network marketing businesses on-line have the idea they won't have to "talk to people". Very wrong! InterNetwork Marketing is exactly the same game as the "old fashioned" P2P (Person-To-Person) belly-to-belly deal... same rules... same strategies, talents, and skills required to win.
What's different about network marketing online is convenience (working only when and where you want), comfort (it's safe and secure; you only get as close and connected—and vulnerable—as you choose), reach (instead of dozens to hundreds, you have access to millions), speed (the Internet is mostly immediate and travel time is nil), choice (you only connect with the people you want to—and you know lots more about who and how they are before you contact) and rejection free (just click DELETE and they're gone... or you are). There's more, and that's already way more than enough.
Whether you're dealing with the subject line of an eMail, the headline and copy on a webpage or profile, the questions you ask/answer in an Instant Message, a weblog post or comment, dialogue in an online forum... it all comes up and down to your ability to speak and listen. And the more and better a speaker and listener you are, the greater the value and advantages people will believe they have in getting into relationship and partnership with you ('cause it's all and always about YOU.)
SpeakingAndListening is a great resource for you...all free...right here on Squidoo. Please visit, "Stop, Look & Listen" and leave me a comment about what you find most useful and valuable.

Now, about publishing those articles...
Everybody who is anybody speakes of aricles and newsletters as "required" bits and pieces of any InterNetwork Marketing effort. Even though I've got to be one of the top 5 creators and collectors of network marketing oriented material over the past 20 years... I'm "in research mode" and learning manner on the matter—happy to share what I learn with all of you. Check out what I've done so far here: John Milton Fogg, EzineArticles.com Expert AuthorSo, couple of new found things:
Lauri Harpf runs the A Promotion Guide website, offers free information about search engines, directories and other promotion methods. Valuable and useful stuff and this one specifically: Increase website traffic with articles, has a bunch of useful "learn more here" links and straight forward sound advice.
Here at Squidoo there's this:
The Article and Writing Resource Center
Copywriting, article marketing, how to write articles, how to publish articles, creating web content, creating ebooks, it's all there!
And (if not "Master", at least...) masterful lensmaster LuckyCharms (I do hope we're not talking breakfast cereal) has two star-studded lenses of immediate value:
Using Web Content to Enhance Your Internet Presence
This lens focuses on content on the web and how it can benefit your business and Internet presence. It talks about writing and creating articles, web sales copy, content driven web sites, copywriting, blogging, rss feeds and a host of other things relating to the web.
But then...how do you get started (even if you are a writer)?

More... (about publishing those articles)
Here's a gem... rather a a whole string of diamonds and pearls, from afore mentioned article marketing expert. Richard Dennis. I did one of The MasterMind Sessions with Richard back on Friday, August 10. It's here, along with the added support material, for you to hear. (Clicking the title links below will open in another window where you can listen streaming or with patience, download the Mp3.) I took what Richard taught me and became a Platinum Author on EzineArticles.com in less than 10 days. Valuable stuff.How To Succeed in Network Marketing the Write Way
Richard Dennis
I introduced this conversation with Richard as a "selfish Session", and it is... and it's not. Do what Richard does and you'll have a steady stream of prospects calling you. The man has such a wealth of experience I could pick his brain for hours! He's been in the business for 30 years... he's built a networking organization upwards of 35,000 distributors... and he created the prospecting phenom' audio "Dead Doctors Don't Lie!", which sold an astronomical 250 million copies! Richard is a master of lead generation through blogs, article marketing and leveraging "Authority" websites. (DO NOT miss the added support material Mp3.) Not a "writer". Richard says not to worry and explains exactly how to become one in a way any of you can do, too.
Additional support material
How To Leverage Authority Websites to Get Free MLM Leads

Choosing your Keywords
Most techniques to improve your search engine rankings have one thing in common -- keywords. Choosing appropriate keywords is extremely important. Think about it: Keywords are what lead search engine users to your site.
How to choose your keywords
Choosing the right keywords is the first step to better search engine positioning. Analyze your business carefully and think of all the words that relate to your company or product.
Let's say you sell sheet metal. What words would you search for when looking for the same product? Ask your colleagues and friends to think about the same question. This is perhaps the most important stage in your war for a spot in search engines' top 20.
As you think about keywords, consider the following:
Who needs your products?
Think about who will use your products, then target them with keywords. For example, if you know that people in the fabrication industry need sheet metal, add words like "sheet metal fabrication" and "custom sheet metal" to your list.
Include variations of your keywords
People will search for your site using all sorts of keywords. Making your site easy to find means including misspelled, capitalized and plural keywords. Always include the longer forms of keywords too.
Avoid wrong keywords
Do not use "stop words" -particles like "and" and "the" and common words like "industry." Remember, the more specific your keywords are, the better the chance that people who find your site through search engines will actually benefit from its content.
Look at your competition
If you have any competitors that are doing well online, look at what terms they're advertising and ranking for. You can get ideas for your own terms by doing competitive research.
Use suggestion tools
Numerous suggestion tools are available to help you pick keywords and research keyword alternatives. Check out Digital Point's Keyword Suggestion Tool, which has results from both Overture and WordTracker, Google's Keyword Tool is also very useful.

Cool stuff that Informs, Involves and Inspires...
Dave Lakhani, described by some as a "Marketing Genius","Business Acceleration Strategist" and "Multipreneur" is a speaker, author and trainer. In his "spare time" he interviews smart people with something important to say. One such person is Seth Godin, and ion this interview with "The Man" of all things marketing, Dave plays Larry King with Seth about The Dip. Valuable and useful stuff.. Click the link to listen, learn and prosper.Dave Lakhani Interviews Seth Godin.
Now, the review...
I am a speaker and sometimes I "pander to the crowd". I'll say nice things about the people paying me. I've never found myself way out of integrity—and at times, I have stretched it a bit...(I usually notice this after the talk).
Not now, however. Not with this.
The last book I've read really IS The Dip by worldview lensmaster, Seth Godin. And...it IS one of the most valuable and useful in recent years (for me and all my projects). As the man says, it's "...a mind grenade, a little bit of insight that will help you see what's causing your organization (or you) to get stuck." Here's more:
What really sets superstars apart from everyone else is the
ability to escape dead ends quickly, while staying focused and
motivated when it really counts.
Winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt-until
they commit to beating the right Dip for the right reasons. In
fact, winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the
barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can
become number one in your niche, you'll get more than your
fair share of profits, glory, and long-term security.
Losers, on the other hand, fall into two basic traps. Either they
fail to stick out the Dip—they get to the moment of truth and
then give up-or they never even find the right Dip to conquer.
"I don't claim to have all the answers," Master Go' contends. "But I will teach you how to ask the right questions."
A book for all "Grasshoppers" invested in any endeavor from marriage, to losing weight, to InterNetwork Marketing. It's in a new catagory (think worldview) for books (think Self-Help): Seth-Help.
The Squidoo lens where you can learn (much more than just about the book) and buy is here: Squidoo.com/theDipBook
OPINION: If you don't read this book, (sorry or no) then you're and Internetdiot.
That's just my opinion. I could be wrong...
but I doubt it.
"95 percent of all the people in network marketing are struggling,
failing, and they will quit within the year. That's unnecessary and unacceptable! We can change that. Now."
InterNetwork Marketing shows you (one... wonderful... not the only... way) how to do that.

This Lens references some fantastic resources that I have also used to attract over 20,000 prospects in less than my first year of learning "Internet Network Marketing" hybrid.
As MarketMagnet had stated--the key is to find a great step-by-step training course (or a guide) who can show you the ropes.
We have just started this new era in business (combining the Internet with network marketing)... those who get in now and stay ahead of the curve will be positioned to assist the millions of people looking for answers.
Find a guide. Balance training with action and you'll do great things.
