Morning coffee friends

Hi just an update while enjoying a cup of Energi ganoderma coffee :-)

So at the moment I have done another quick video reviewing a cup of coffee - I will have to do some reading on actual "coffee cupping" so I can use some more descriptive words than - "it's nice" - but at the moment action speaks louder than words so by regular video blogging and chatting about coffee I will build up another type of traffic - leading back either to here or over at income club pro where I'm housing my 'suite' of coffee tools.

I've just configured - but have yet to customize a coffee items review site - this will give my opinion (and yours if you do a video blog) of various coffee and related products I try out - youtube videos are preferred as they act as a free source of testimonials and can be made fun, serious or anyway you like too.

Our Coffee Review Site - send me a link to your coffee review on youtube and I'll add it here for free

The site is here ==> http://incomeclubpro.com/reviews I have yet to make it look coffee like!

I used a generic script and modified the categories for only coffee related items. (if you want your own copy the review script it'll cost you $7.00 USD (I'm not allowed to give it away!) you will have to install it yourself or I'll install it for you for $10.00 USD - note with this script I can only install it for admin to do reviews, i.e a basic install, if you want it configured any other way you'll have to hire a professional webmaster - I can give you advice on how to change catagories etc, no probs.

3 cash machine Still Broken ?

An update on Healthy Coffee Downline Builder - for the time being I've removed Dan weaver's 3 cash machine as, from e-mails he says his site was falsely flagged as an "attack site" - members can't log in - but until it is fixed I've changed 3CM to GDI - Global Domains International - I'll keep you updated as I get more information from Dan.

So if you have an account over at my Healthy Coffee Downline Club you will need to log in and update your affiliate code for that program to your GDI affiliate link (if you have one.)

I'll be setting up a script for a shop today, I also have a rotator script - that may be another free tool for coffee affiliates.

So Remember: - if you do a coffee review on youtube let me know about it (you can send me a link to your coffee review via @coffee2u on twitter) and I'll add your review to the review site, with your affiliate link in for free, the review site will go in the rotator and it will be the page rotator that goes into all the traffic exchanges.

Lastly a tip about twitter - remember that if you use twitter and syndicate out the RSS content to other websites and widgets - i.e like Ning, facebook etc. add the http:// to the web urls you tweet - as this makes them more likely to be active on your profiles on other websites other than twitter- as I've noticed that if I don't add the http:// and just start www. that the hyperlinks sometimes read as text only - i.e they aren't active links, people are unlikely (from my own experience) to take the time to copy and paste an unclickable link from a status update into their browser - people need it to be as easy as possible to get to your website, so rather than make them "jump through hoops" adding the http:// could increase your visitors.

Example Coffee Review - again notice I'm not pretending to be an expert (just yet!) but I'm getting used to talking / video blogging - while sipping away at various cups of coffee each time.

I'm trying out all the varieties of packet coffee first in the supermarket, ganoderma coffees with feature too - but I'm focusing on bringing together 'mainstream' coffee drinking with specialty coffee drinking - ganoderma coffee as I said, to me is just like another flavor coffee - focusing on this angle will steal the product away from the quackery bunch that make claims that are actually false - i.e the claims that it can cure cancer falls into that realm - so please don't get caught in that trap - it's one of the reasons I pulled the google alerts as the stories I was getting rebroadcast to my twitter account were largely, what we call here in the UK - BULLSHIT! hence my changeover to social median feeds from coffee bloggers instead - so are better quality - instant/sachet coffee is handy for single people or for at work - these benefits are much better than "miracles". Ganoderma is a "fungus" but like mushrooms is a vegetable, vegetables are wholesome and good for you like cornflakes! he he, I know! - but thinking of different perspectives / ways ganoderma can be seen in the minds eye - is good for marketing ideas - but don't quote me on the cornflake thing :P

First 2 video blogs from healthycoffee1 on youtube

lil update

Hi folks, I've received my first pouch of Energi coffee, but have yet to try it out as I plan to do a video of the first cup of each brand I try, but due to dental work I might not be able to taste much for the next couple weeks. So I'm just exploring ideas/places, and looking at other people's coffee websites. I should be getting my DXN distributor license soon, so I'll have a neat range of ganoderma products to share - I like the look of their lipsticks too :-)

I've got my printer up and running so I will be working on a local blog that will introduce this site (www.ilovegano.info) and CoffeeDrinker.org via postcards in shop windows and maybe a leaflet/flyer campaign - Ganobrand have got it right in the fact that business cards come in handy - my cards - well I might use vistaprint again, but window adds will do for starters

I am also still researching different membership site software as I want my favorite programs all in one place - a downline builder is one option - but a cheaper option is to create an ebook - so watch this space - as like I said I'm determined to crack this coffee niche - so if you haven't joined up to the programs I recommend yet, you'll get another chance to do so through the ebook I will design in a mo.

Later, Zara

Hi Coffee people, updates

Just an Update, as I say I have the Retail website nearly set up, a simple store with affiliate links to some products, the main point of it is a place to focus, where the only things for sale are coffee products. The coffee products are put on the blog and can be linked to on the menu page. Blog entries can be shared via RSS all over the web and to people's inboxes. www.coffeedrinker.org

Other news:

I've not heard back from the DXN distributor, so I have put that on a back burner for now, I've ordered some coffee via the back office of Healthy Coffee - their range of gano coffees look interesting - so I am keeping a 'paw' in that business opportunity to see how it develops.

The price to UK (from USA) was abt. £10.00 for a pack of coffee (abt. $17.00) plus £14.00 delivery (in USA delivery of coffee is nearer the $5.00 USD mark I think due to it's location - so in USA you get a good idea on shipping!)

The only other fee involved to start as a distributor is the back office fees at $9.99 per 3 months or $29.99 per year) I opted for the $9.99 quarterly charge for now. You get a month or two free back office to get to know where everything is/how to order etc.

I've decide to try the distributor routes into this MLM - working my way up the ladder from Distributor to see how everything works.

I imagine my coffee will take about 14 days to arrive - so I will create a CD for new potential affiliates - once I've tried the coffee and got some video of me drinking it, I'll add it to youtube and my site as a review, if you opt for an MLM for Healthy Coffee or GanoBrand (or all of them like I am) I recommend doing a video if you like the taste of it - then other affiliates can use it as a testimonial / recommendation on their sites too - pooling testimonals like this means each affiliate/distributor could have a selction of new testimonials on tap - you could have one from each of your upline/downline or pick from others if you don't have any.

You could do this with any brand or product.

I will still order some ganocafe soon either via GanodermaCoffee or Gano Excel (which I am still thinking about joining)

But the first lot should be Healthy Coffee 's Energi Black. I will chase up that DXN application but might end up applying via someone else once I have a refund sorted out.

The UK GanoCenter definately looks like it has gone, which is a shame as they offered 48 hour delivery.

I will be on the look out for a supplier that can do that in UK.
