Do you know about drop cards? When used in
conjunction with a funded proposal, you will be
implementing very effective, modern strategies.
If you haven't heard of drop cards or a funded
proposal you must be new to this industry or you
have been struggling to make money with the same
old strategies that people have been failing with
for years, it is time to get with the program.

Either way, today is your lucky day because you
will know exactly what these are shortly. You
will also know how a funded proposal works.
 

Drop cards are printed to look exactly like real
money making them difficult to throw away. Some
people make them into business cards. They are
available in any size bill but the $100 bill is
best.

They are the same width as real money but only
2/3 the length, so, when folded in half, they are
the size of a business card or credit card and
they look like a $100 bill that has been folded
in thirds.  

People naturally pick them up. Then they open
them to see your catchy slogans and your email
address and the URL of your site.

If the lines you have printed get their interest,
you can get some quality leads this way. It is a
good idea to make them curious.

If someone is interested, they'll contact you.
The best leads in this industry are those that
seek you out. If you've tried to convince your
friends and family that they need your product or
opportunity, then you know the difference of
someone who is asking questions.

Interested leads are much more worth your time
than those who are just listening so they won't
hurt their feelings.  

Next to explain what a funded proposal is. Simply
put, it is a system for you to use to make money
while you build your main network marketing or
MLM business.

Affiliate marketing is how it works. This is
where you earn some money for each person who
buys that you sent to the site.

There are sites with products and you would earn
money for every one they bought there. If it is a
service, you would get monthly commissions. If
you used a limited personal contact list for
leads you would be years behind those using the
Internet and it's unlimited potential for leads.
There would be a few tools required for Internet
marketing.

These resources and services that everyone who
markets online needs would be the affiliates you
would promote.

All of these tools would be used for building
your list of prospects and shown to them for
their use also. Each prospect that uses them
would earn you some money for you to use for
advertising. This is the basic marketing model of
all the income leaders.

One other thing, drop cards and all of the other
resources needed for marketing would be
integrated into your funded proposal. Not to
mention, the funded proposal would be an
affiliate for you too.

This is how the modern network marketer is using
the internet and the most modern tools at their
disposal.  

OK, now you have your funded proposal and your
drop cards and I am going to give you 15 ways to
use them. Just remember, these are all marketing
zones and it is better to ask for forgiveness
than it is to ask for permission.  

1. At the gas pump you can slide one into the
credit card slot of each pump nearby.

2. Bookstore, inside books and magazines for
personal growth, success, entrepreneurs, and MLM

Mall, Upper end department stores, in the pockets
of jeans and other clothes

4. Stores selling leather jackets, in the pockets

5. Mall benches, food court, walkways

6. Escalator

7. Elevator

8. Wall-Mart - inside of Success and entrepreneur
magazines

9. Restaurant bathrooms and parking lots

10. Newspaper stands - open the stand and put one
in each newspaper

11. Airport - same places as in malls and on
airplanes in the Sky-Mall magazines

12. Waiters - When you have a great one, use
this, "We really enjoyed having you as our server
and appreciate what a hard worker you are. Could
I ask you one question?" wait for answer, then
"Do you keep your options open when it comes to
making extra money?" Then "I don't want to go
into it now but I'm going to leave something on
the table for you to check out later" Then leave
a GOOD tip and a drop card. That way they know
you are leaving something for them.

13. Hotel - The next time you stay at a hotel,
leave a $5 or more tip and a drop card and a note
that says "I know your job can't be very much fun
but you are the type of person I need on my team
because you will do what it takes to make money.
If you keep your options open when it comes to
making money, check this out and send me a
message."

14. Junk mail - When you sort through your mail
you should keep the envelopes that say "No
postage necessary when mailed in the United
States." Send only a drop card back in the
envelope. The mail clerk is stuck in a mail room
and may be looking to get out. You may as well
put it to good use, it is for marketing.

15. Just remember, they are called drop cards, so
drop them, just don't be obvious about it. People
will pick them up, and either throw them away or
keep them long enough to show to a friend. You
never know when someone will come in contact and
decide the timing is right.    

All these strategies can be done without leaving
your comfort zone. Just be creative and
consistent. Any members you sign up with these
strategies will use them too because they will
have proof that they work. This is rejection free
marketing and the leads are high quality.
