A ComF5 Review


Video Marketing can certainly be a very effective tool for marketing online. But it’s important, as anything else, that your do a thorough product research before committing to purchase it. It might be expensive investment that will not give the return you expect.
ComF5 offers a streaming video program that can be used to send a personalized video email to one person or to a group. Other features are live webcasting, video on demand, video auto responders and landing pages hosting. It's the perfect vehicle for any marketer to reach any niche market.
At the beginning of this year, I bought the software because I had been getting video emails from another marketer and got really excited about it. He, then, told me about all the features it offered and the discounted price from $400.00 to $99.00/month to become an affiliate. I quickly jumped at the opportunity.  
Well, the thing is if you are someone who has technical problems and are not electronically inclined, which is my case; you might have a bad experience with it. First off, they offer only very general video tutorials, leaving you in the dark for certain details. And technical support was far from offer qualified advice.
Whenever I looked for their help, even using their own technical lingo, they never understand what I needed. They kept passing the phone to somebody else. The impression I got was that they either didn’t know what they were doing or they just had bad customer service.  
At one specific occasion, I received wrong information and it was very frustrating. Fortunately, someone else in my group came to my rescue. However, I was never able learn how to use the tool with all of its benefits.
Besides wasting $396.00, I literally wasted a lot of my time trying to figure things out with ComF5 which should have been made obvious by the company. Later, I found out that I could have gotten all the features I had for only $39.00/month and then, if liked the product I could have become an affiliate. Obviously, I felt very cheated and decided to cancel it.
On the other hand, if you are a real geek and can easily figure electronic things out on your own, you can absolutely use this tool to make a big difference in your business.
So, my advice is, be wiser than I was. Shop around and find out what’s really best for you. Don’t just trust what you hear first hand. Check to see if there are other comparable products and check around for reviews.  If you decide that you’re going to purchase the product, see if it’s possible to have a free trial or perhaps, try it as a product only for $39.00, before you become an affiliate.
To your success!

Boost Your Brand

Recently, I came across Danielle Zack’s blog. Danielle is an entrepreneur and network marketer who enjoys life and all that it has to offer. But above all, she loves helping others.

I enjoyed what she had to say about branding. It seems like branding” and “tribe” are very popular subjects these days. Don’t you think?

The title of the article is “Top 3 Ways to Boost Your Brand in Social Media.” Here is the article for you to check it out. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:

So…you’re out there making friends, establishing relationships and sharing value in social media. Now you need to establish a real presence and ‘expert’ status for your brand. Kind of an overwhelming task if you don’t know where to start. Not to worry! Here are three ways you can really take your brand to the next level. Click here to continue reading it.


The one that resonated with me the most was “Partner with Bloggers”. As you make friendship with people in your niche, offer to make some kind of trade with them in the terms of blogging. It’s a win-win situation for both of you. What do you think?

I also liked her ending as she makes a wakeup call to those of us who have been hiding, thinking that we have nothing to offer. As Danielle said it, we all have something unique to offer because we all have had experiences in life and every experience counts. Let’s all stop and think about those experiences and start sharing them. I’m sure we can all learn from each other and grow together.

Got Video Maketing - Got Intelligent Means of Communication

Video marketing is the latest technology in terms of email hosting platform. It’s a new and exciting way to communicate. It’s an application that allows you to send videos embedded in your emails, that is, video emails. It’s a creative way to reach your friends and family, connect with people abroad and even communicate with your clients or prospects. It’s essential to make an impact on special occasions such as Christmas Holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries.

Being able to personalize your emails with a video is a great advantage because other social or Internet marketers as well as possible prospects will be able to recognize you, strengthening your branding. In addition, nowadays, people are in such hurry that they don’t usually read their emails. However, a video email can certainly grab their attention enticing their curiosity.

In addition to video emailing, a video marketing program allows companies to do trainings or meetings with their employees across the country; Realtors to show residences in the market to clients without having them leave home; entrepreneurs to hold webinars; salesmen to deliver presentations or do product demonstrations; restaurant managers to showcase banquet areas and food selections; clerics to talk to their congregations at home; professors to hold discussions with other colleagues. There are unlimited ways of using video marketing. It's just a matter of resourcefulness.

Video marketing is certainly very appealing to small business owners because TV advertising is expensive and in general, newspapers and radio ads don’t give them a substantial return. They can make effective email campaigns using this system which permits them to combine visual communication, branding and advertising. It also allows them to send auto responders and keep their buyers interested.

Video, in general, is a medium that search engines favor. Using the appropriate keywords for your target market and a video title that will grab their attention, can be a very compelling way to market.

I had the opportunity to use a video marketing software called ComF5 and I can affirm that it is a very interesting tool. However, there is a catch to it. Please, be sure to read my review post about it.

To your success!

Effective MLM Training

The majority of the people realize that there are challenges in MLM because they have been reliable in taking action and been literally pursuing whatever techniques they have acquired in their effective MLM training. Nevertheless, they haven't achieved the outcomes they desired.

If you have been doing your business continuously as you should, but it's still not working for you, it's almost certainly because the training you have received is not as powerful as it should have be. I'm not indicating that you ought to completely get rid of your instruction. On the other hand, you most likely could strengthen it and redesign it using a number of major company principles and develop some skills which typically aren't taught in network marketing.

Exactly why would you require external training rather than carrying out just what you're currently doing? Well, the basic principal of network marketing is that everyone you know is your prospective client and that you need to offer all of them your wonderful product and opportunity. However, there is an easier way to position yourself, to ensure that those who are truly serious about buying your product or joining your business will approach you rather than you having to chase them.

In multi-level marketing, in lieu of instructing you on professional enterprise advertising approaches and abilities, which attract competent potential customers to you, they educate you with cunning sales concepts and techniques designed to compel buyers to hopefully wish to purchase what you're offering them. They also teach you how to respond being rejected. They inform you that you will get plenty of no's before you can get a yes. They ask their distributors to keep doing whatever they have learned and they will eventually sell. Distributors wind up internalizing a defective business design that is founded on hope, chance and a sense of desperation.

Consequently, MLMers have earned the reputation of being pushy sales people instead solutions providers. When you can actually supply a solution to your prospects demands, then the buyers will be drawn to you. If your opportunity or product really were the crème de la crème, people would naturally be attracted to you instead of you having to chase them.

It's possible to learn to be a professional entrepreneur who has interest in providing solutions to your prospects needs. When this happens, your prospects will run to you like bees run to flowers. And this will happen when they have already been sold on you and your product. It's not about you. It's rather about the solutions you can provide to your prospects.

That's the main reason you may need improved, effective MLM training to become equipped with the basics of business marketing and to improve the relevant skills you need to present yourself as a solutions and service provider. Don't push your buyers anymore, attract them to you instead.

Renegade Marketer

I had read Ann Sieg’s ebook "The Renegade Network Marketer", which teaches about the New MLM model, and was feeling quite overwhelmed with all the information. Even though I knew marketing online was the way to go, I did not know how to get it going. Fortunately, a little after that, I also found The Renegade University with Mike Klinger and his well trained coaches. Thanks to them I have been able to structure my business online. There two great things about this training program: It’s complete – you learn everything you’re going to need; and it can be done at your own pace.

These two consecrated gurus of the Internet Marketing world are joining forces and making Renegade University even more especial. For this reason, they are giving the site a makeover and the training for new students is in recession probably until the end of March. Meanwhile, you can grab a free copy of Ann Sieg’s recently launched ebook The Attraction Marketer's Manifesto. It’s a must read for any marketer. She’s over delivered, as usual, answering all the possible questions ever asked about Internet network marketing in it. You can also check out this video interview in which Mike tells Ann the reason for his creating Renegade University. You will see with your own eyes how professional they are and how much they care about helping any marketer.

Origin Of The Renegade University

It all started because Mike Klingler, a successful network marketer, was unable to get his downline or partners to duplicate his success. As he searched on the Internet for a solution to his problem, he found an ebook written by Ann Sieg, called “The Renegade Network Marketer”..

This ebook gave Mike the complete picture of what he and his partners needed to do to bring their business to the Web and to get it to the next level. Everyone in his team, even the most technically challenged, was now able to reciprocate his teachings and very quickly start to generate leads or prospects to either partner with them or to purchase their products or services. Instead of chasing after people to do business with, prospects were voluntarily coming to them to either partner or purchase their products. This is called Attraction Marketing – the basis of Mike’s teachings at the Renegade University .
