Article Video Robot is an online tool that will convert an online article into a video. You can paste the article into the software, add some music and presto a video is produced. You can use the music that’s supplied with the service or you can add your own voice.  AVR will provide the images for you to go along with your video. After that, AVR has one click publishing to 18 video sharing sites.  That alone is very cool!

I found AVR quite easy to use. I feel that sometimes the voices generated to read the article do seem a little robotic, but the technology is rapidly advancing.

AVR has a free trial where you can try the service completely free with no credit card needed. You can use coupon code “cscarpero50″ (without the quotes) to get the service at half price.

Mike Dillard is a pioneer in the field of promoting network marketing online. His most famous course is a book called Magnetic Sponsoring. The premise behind Magnetic Sponsoring is that people follow YOU as opposed to your company. Therefore, you should promote YOURSELF first in everything that you do.

He has some very valid points. A lot of what he says has however been taken way out of context. Mike is a genius at using the intetnet to generate leads and showing others how to do the same. However, a lot of marketers think that this means they no longer have to use the phone to market. This is completely false! In later interviews, Mike does correct himeself and says that the phone is and should be a useful tool in network marketing. Unfortunately, too many people want the easy way out and won’t follow his advice.

Mike also promotes a new strategy called GPT or Get Paid Today. It basically says that traditional MLM is dead and you should instead do the Aussie 2 Ups. He fails to mention that the Aussie 2 Up type companies are very expensive, have caused more lawsuits than anyone and are constantly under FTC investigation. So, why would you want to join a company like that?? Look, if you don’t like MLM, that’s fine. Go do affiliate marketing instead.

Still, overall Mike gives some great advice and Magnetic Sponsoring should be in the toolchest of any serious network marketer.

Todd Falcone

Todd Falcone is a network marketeting trainer that specializes in teaching people how to cold call professionals to recruit them into a network marketing.

Todd offers a free conference call and free You Tube videos. His conference calls are great. I especially love the live dials that he does. His calls may be a little TOO good. When I bought his insider secrets course, it basically said the things that were on the calls. For “finding” realtors, he said profound things like, “look them up on Google” No kidding! I ended up selling my course on Ebay and got most of my money back.

However, I found his Black Book of Scripts to be a very underrated product in Todd’s catalog.

Ted Thomas

Carlos | in real estate | Comments (0)

Ted Thomas does infomercials about tax deed/tax lien investing among other things. I bought one of his courses several years ago.

When, I first got it my first thought was, “this is it?”. It had a lot of very generic information about tax liens. I mean VERY. No real meat to go with. I’ve heard that his seminars are pretty much a sham as well.

There is money to be made in tax liens, as I later did find out. Ted is just not the source to get it from.

I’ve looked on various forums and many, many, many people have said the same thing about ol Ted.

If you are new to tax liens, instead get a book called The 16% Solution by Joel Moskowitz. It’s the best $16 you will ever spend.

Wendy Patton

Carlos | in real estate | Comments (0)

Wendy teaches about lease option buying.  She promotes something called “sandwich leasing”. A sandwich lease is where she gets one lease option from the seller and then does another lease option with the buyer. It’s an interesting concept. I bought her course, but never did complete a deal. Honestly, I it’s probably my fault as I didn’t apply myself enough to the process.

Wendy is a sweet lady and does like to help her students. One time, I sent her brownies for Christmas and she did call me personally to thank me. I was shocked when she did that. It meant a lot to me.

One thing that I didn’t like from Wendy was her affiliation with a Florida condo buying group trip dureing the height of the real estate bubble. I was very skeptical about the whole promotion and sure enough those people lost a lot of money on the deal.

Still, Wendy is quite loved by the investor community. Here are some comments that I found about Wendy…

“This book is very well written. Excellent. Three months after reading her “Lease Option/Subject To” book I was able to do a lease option deal with a motivated seller. Now that I am ready to exercise my option, I was having problems finding a mortgage broker that can refinance a lease option deal. I emailed Wendy Patton and she responded in less than 24 hours with 5 mortgage brokers that can do the refinance. Bottom line, this is a Great Book! and a Great Author!”- Sivada from Lakewood, New Jersey

“My partner and I have been real estate investors for years. We looked to Wendy’s course/information to give us an edge with new tactics and to increase our sandwich lease/option deals. Her info did that and more. Great info for novice or experienced investors. One of the best values in the real estate investment course arena. A must have if you want to do lease/options transactions.” Mike from Kansas City

“Her info on lease purchases may be great but I signed up for one of her pre-construction bootcamps/buying trips. Many of those on the trip kept in contact with each other. What we found was that many of the deals were not “deals” and could be found. Many investors experienced moving targets where the financing changed mid stream etc. What I found was that on a pre-con condo I bought for $82, I am unable to rent it out, because the builder built the back unit first, so when you go to see the property you have to ride through construction and it is unappealing to many. Also, the $105-110 that it was supposed to appraise for is actually $83K. This is because the units that settled a month or two before mine have created the comps on the market. If they had done $90,000 with 10,000 seller concession or something to that effect at least we would have had equity to appease our sense. We went in thinking that she and her group are professionals and really know their way around pre-construction. We have since found out that is not the case. She has broken ties with the business partner she had then, but I don’t know if anything is any better. They have offered return trips for half off, and I have relayed all of my dis-satisfaction but never got a call back. Not surprised.” bonnie rakes from NJ

Dani Johnson

Carlos | in network marketing | Comments (0)

Dani Johnson a very popular network marketing trainer. She is famous for going from a broke cocktail waitress to multi millionaire.

Her story is quite inspiring. She’s quite direct and motivational at her trainings. But us she worth it? Well, it depends.

I first started listening to Dani in early 2008. I went to 3 First Steps and one Dynasty. The first thing you should know is she is a very conservative Christian and not afraid to show it. If her brand of Christianity offends you, it’s definitely not something you want to attend. I’ve been to events where she’s done exorcisms. I’ve seen a lot of people get “saved” and seen some pretty crazy things at her events.  Her husband, Hans has some pretty radical ideas as well. For example, he has promoted websites that say 9-11 was a conspiracy. Stuff like that. A little paranoid sometimes, but he did open my eyes to a lot of things.

I do like a lot of the things she talks about, especially about debt. It’s something that will benefit a lot of people.

As for her MLM teachings, they are solid and helpful.  Dani does have a free portion on her website at DaniJohnson.com and if you are curious about her, that’s the best place to start.

Here are some things that others have said about Dani:

“Dani Johnson is awesome. I joined her free membership site and am very pleased with it. She sends me emails a few times a week that are very helpful to me. I like the fact that her website is free. All she asks is that you let 3 of your friends know about it. Plus if you refer 5 more she will give you copy of Prospecting and Closing Script book. She has lots of great products that are for sale. I just have not gotten around to buying any as there is so much for me to learn just going to her site. One can also reserve a seat so you can hear her free training. She speaks like a pro and is very easy to understand. None of that mumbo jumbo that others may push off on you. I really think that she wants you to succeed just as she has. She is an honest woman and she really knows her stuff. I highly recommend every one to join as it will not cost you a single cent.”

Here’s another one…

“Ive been acquainted with Dani Johnson about 2 years. She has helped and continues to inspire me. I get an email from her almost weekly, on different subjects, and not necessarily about me spending more money with her.

My experience with Dani has been excellent, and I recommend her services to all.”
