The Veretekk Bully Pulpit Newsletter

"V2 is on its way"

The GodFather Speaks
We are delivering V2, a massive upgrade in several phases.
Enter Phase one:

The Hammer and the CPTs

Say goodbye to the Hammer. The Hammer is ancient technology from the 90s. It totally depends on Free FFAs and unsolicited email that it used to generate. Today Google and other search engines don't even consider nor index FFA sites so your links on those FFA sites gets no traffic whatsoever. FFA systems used to number in the millions. Like FFAUSA and FFANET. There are still many around, but not like it used to be.

Today when you submit to the FFA sites you get nothing but spam with forged return email addresses that send your message to Spam traps and black holes. And that leads us to the other issue we have had with the CPT email addresses.

Say good by to CPTs. The CPTs are the primary by product caused by the Hammer. CPTs are Captured incoming email. In other words, the incoming email spam sent to your Veretekk email address has up to now been captured into your mailing system called the Bully Pulpit as a CPT. A year ago we culled these leads to only be 30 days old then deleted them. Up until then this toxic waste dump of email addresses used to accrue into the millions in our system. This toxic dump of email spam traps and undeliverables and black hole email caused Veretekk endless issues with spam accusations and blacklisting.

CPTs will continue to be delivered to your POP email account. We will be giving you a Spamassasin rating for these email so you can block them with your filters if you want. We will also be routing these CPTs into your Veremail verification system so you can send an email challenge to them to verify if they want to deliver the email to you. If they verify they will show up in your Bully Pulpit as authorized verified legitimate email.

Summary:

The Hammer and CPT are no longer effective and actually hurt you and us. We are taking them out of Veretekk. We have better options that are far more effective for marketing on the Internet.

FYI:

The Hammer will still be available via Leadsomatic and Blastomatic. I HIGHLY recommend you promote these sites to build premium leads. It is your choice if you want to use them. If you want to access your Veretekk Leadsomatic account just go to http://leadsomatic.com and log in with your same Veretekk username and password. This only works for Leadsomatic and not other Veretekk portals like Blastomatic.


The Drill

The Drill is being installed into all of your Portal Control Panels to replace the Hammer. The Drill actually works great in producing effective back links to help you build SEO advantages in top search engine placement.

The Drill is a sophisticated tool that also back links all your post into one large daisy chain so the search engine robots index everything in your portfolio of sites. Drilling is a simple but powerful alternative to the Hammer. The Drill is current new technology.

Now all your portals have drill linking installed.


The Conference room

I am sure most if not all of you have experienced our amazing conference room system. The quality of voice, the enhanced video camera system, the recording capabilities make this system one of the best if not THE BEST system available on the Internet.

This month your Veretekk Gold system will include a 5 seat conference room with all the same features found in Vereconference. However, until the V2 front page is installed (Phase 3) you will have access to your room via FORM code and email links.

Don't worry we will teach you how to build a free page or blog or website with the forms and fields to invite people in.


The New Commission Plan

About a year ago we started to navigate Veretekk toward tremendous value above what we have already been delivering. Real stuff, not hype. Since last year we have opened the Bully Pulpit (The email system that allows you to email all your leads safely) from once a week to once a day.

We also opened the Veremail leads import upload function from 10,000 per day to UNLIMITED.

Just these two improvements more than justified the small increase in subscriptions but we waited. We wanted to deliver so much more. Over deliver actually. With the small subscription increase you also get the following being delivered this month:

I assume you all know what http://freeffas.com does. It delivers 1000+ leads per day for $10 per month. Now, those same leads are automatically delivered in your Gold Veremail system. All you do is choose a verification letter and push a button and you get verified top quality leads pouring into your system.

We are also including a conference room with 5 seats which is worth and additional $17.50.

Then to make it completely fair and equitable, we will be paying all Silvers and Golds $10 per month for every Gold account on your front line.

This is a value of at least $37.50 per month that you will now receive with the monthly rate increase of only $14.95 making Veretekk the most valuable Social and Internet marketing system on the Internet.

Add to that the inclusion of our new Open House Presentations........


The Open House Presentations

The new V2 front page is going to allow anyone to join our presentations with out having to register. They just enter their name and bingo they are in the conference.

Our system will know whose sites they logged in from and make this clear in the room

These events will be non commercial non advertising informative slide show presentations teaching information on all things that have to do with marketing and building business and profits on the Internet.

These presentations will be conducted by trained Veretekk trainers and myself. These presentations will always be in three parts with part one open to the public, part two open to only Silver or Gold subscribers and part three open only to Gold subscribers.

Presentation one and two will also take the audience step by step into upgrading respectively so they are under the proper sponsored according to which Veretekk system they initially logged into the free open presentation.

Prior to these presentations we will send out a Bully Pulpit newsletter notification explaining and illustrating the presentation so you can disseminate this information and communicate it through your channels, blogs, emails, press releases, posts to forums, etc.

This new direction will allow the system of real people to process your visitors into real leads, and paying subscribers in your downlines.

This Monday we are conducting a real presentation. So be on time and ready to take notes and record, because without hype I say this, "We are about to create another paradigm shift on the Internet".

The significant difference from Veretekk (disregarding the technology) with all the other attempts to deliver a real Internet and Socialnet marketing system, is, with Veretekk, the biggest benefit is the live people that are there to help you.

This is not hype. From the CEO on down everyone in Veretekk is alive and there for your support and mentoring 24 hours a day. Don't just ask anyone, pick up the phone and call the CEO and ask him!

Now that is marketing at the speed of thought.

See you tonight.

Announcements
Presentation Marketing (Veretekk style)

Our first information presentation by Ron Wilczek, Veretekk Warrior. Do not miss this!

Restricted By The Gatekeeper
Do you remember when T.V., radio, and newspapers were the gate keepers of society and business? Do you remember when a person or business who needed to advertise a product or service had to ante up to the corporate giants to get their word out to the world. How many billions, perhaps trillions, of dollars have been spent on advertising? The success of many businesses was dependant on a huge marketing budget and correct choice of traditional media to get it's message across.

How many people in the last 5-15 years had great products or services but never achieved their income potential because they didn't have the necessary financial resources to advertise to the world? How many more people could be millionaires today if they had an opportunity to advertise to the mass public -- for little or no cost?

Tear Down The Gate
The Internet provided a no/low cost method for people to build a business. All they needed was a computer, a great idea, and access to the Internet to get started. The previous generation of marketers built their brands on television, movie screens, radio, magazines, and newspapers. The recent generation is doing it for a much lower cost with no need for a gatekeeper's huge fee or approval.

However, while the Internet provided an easy access to the world, it was for the most part impersonal. Internet shoppers constantly shopped for the best deal without loyalty to any product or business.

Enter Social Media
Now, take the Internet one step further. What if you could use the Internet to develop a personal relationship with people and turn them into loyal customers. What if people would want your product, service, or opportunity because they knew and liked you? What would it be like if you could tell the world who you were. Tell the world about your morals, principals, and beliefs -- and they liked and trusted you because of them? Perhaps they even thought you were cool for being who you were.

Enter the world of Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter, etc, etc, etc. Developing personal relationships with virtual strangers is just as simple as joining a social network and participating in online conversation. You can develop friendships and even become a center of influence, or a person who can shape the opinions of others because of your solid reputation of honesty and integrity.

Is It Worth Your Time?
An ever hear of Gary Vaynerchuk? Until 2006, at the age of 30, virtually no had heard of him. Then he discovered online videos.

Gary worked for his father for 12 years in his liquor store. Gary knew the business, but he had a passion for wine. He took that passion and started creating wine tasting videos. That's right -- he sat at table drinking wine in front of a video camera. But he wasn't a pretentious wine snob using wine lingo. Far from it. He was a down-to-earth person who told it like he saw it (and in this case like he tasted it). In one episode he says a wine "tastes like a racquetball."

People who saw his online videos liked his style and they liked him. They saw he was real, in touch with who he was, and he was honest. Gary was passionate about wine and everyone could tell. His short videos were fun to watch as he taught people what he knew about wine in an engaging manner. His videos became viral on the Internet and his audience became huge. So did his success ...

Learn More About Social Media and Gary
Join us this Monday evening at 6:00 PST, 9:00 EST time to learn more about Gary's success and how effective Social Media can increase the abundance in your life. We'll also talk about another real life example.

In the mean time, think about what you are passionate about? What are you an expert in? What makes you ecstatic to wake up in the morning? And how can social media work for you?


I am "The Political Pundit"
Are you ready to take your life back?

Values not Parties

Some of you think I am a Democrat, others think maybe I am a Republican. The truth is I was both. I am no longer a party man. I am a critical thinker and this is what we need to do. In the coming elections in America, you Americans should stop sending any money to your preferred political party, and send it to your statesmen of choice.

Find out who is running in your area. Who is your US Congressman, your Senator and your local hacks. Research them all and decide on their values and positions and choose the one that represents your positions and values.

It is time for a real change in America and it is up to us to place our support and make our vote based on critical logical decisions, not emotions. And that is another story for another time.

Praise the Lord
Veretekk is a faith based company

As V2 emerges faith is at the center of this mission

I have some disturbing news for all my beloved subscribers. Last week the doctors discovered that I have some congenital issues with my heart. It seems I have an artery that is not formed correctly and a few other arteries with moderate blockage.

What this means is that on February 11, 2010 I will be having a 4 hour open heart surgery as they do a major bypass for my heart.

The hospital I will be at is called St. Vincents in Billings, MT. The hospital is a faith based hospital which I was very pleased to discover. The admission nurse had me sign an acknowledgement form that I was made aware of this fact and that prayer was common within the hospital. That if this offended me in anyway they were very sorry but I was welcome to go to another hospital as an alternative.

This inspired me greatly. As Veretekk has always been based in faith I found this policy to be refreshing. As V2 evolves I will make sure that the sign up page has a similar disclosure that Veretekk is faith based and you will be exposed to prayer and praise to God. If this fact offends you then it is probably best you leave.

Now, it would do my heart well if you came this Monday to visit us. We have a great show in store for you and I will also be raising up prayers for healing for all of us as I get ready to walk through another major challenge in my life. But I know this, I will not be alone as Jesus will be carrying me through as He has always done in my life before.

God Bless all of you

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues...
Real People With Real Results!
Hi Everyone

I would like to give accolades to Manuel Washington, whom is a Trainer for the Veretekk.com system.

He has the patience of Job and the tenacity of a Fox Terrier to have a person understand his subject. He starts out giving each of us in attendance a choice of what we would like to discuss. It doesn’t matter to him. It is like having a talking book, but better as you get the answers right away. He never says, “He doesn’t know”. One hour of his training resolved many issues I had been trying to deal with on my own. If I didn’t understand the first way he presented information, he found another way to meet my level of comprehension. He doesn’t fudge with what could be uncomfortable questions and gives straight answers. He is not patronizing and does not posture.

I would recommend his training classes to anyone, even experienced folks. You certainly get your times worth and much more as he is so diversified and open. A true teacher.

I must confess... I was kind of skeptical at first because I was actually overwhelmed with all the features and services Veretekk Offered. By the way... these guys really know what they're doing too, getting on the first page of google with Veretekk is effortless! Veretekk's Marketing System beats all the competition hands-down and with all the new features being added... no one will ever come close!

What do I like most about Veretekk: The support is "Out of this World"... how many times have you had support straight from the CEO? You're never alone in Veretekk. There is always someone around that can answer questions and walk you through setting up your marketing system... day or night, 7/Days a Week. You almost feel like you're part of the family in Veretekk... they will pick you up when you're down and pat you on the back for your efforts!

Veretekk is the True Meaning of the word TEAM!

Todays Press Release
After several years of preparation, Veretekk is launching it's social network platform called V2

Carson City, NV - Veretekk.com, Inc. CEO Thomas Prendergast (co-founder and chief developer of the Veretekk Automated Marketing SystemTM) announced today that along with Mike Darling (President, Veretekk.com) the creators of Veretekk have made a strategic business decision to launch their latest platform called V2 this year.

Thomas Prendergast CEO of Veretekk has been on the Internet since the late 80s. A pioneer in the marketing sector with such inventions as the online application, self replicated website and self replicating PDF ebooks is about to launch another advanced marketing sensation.

"Since the mid 90s I have been focused on building a serious entrepreneurial social business web system. That system is called Veretekk. We started out building Veretekk years before there was anything recognized as a Social Network system.

"Veretekk's main features were lead development, email systems and training. No one comes close to the Veretekk lead development capabilities. Veretekk was the first verified lead system long before Aweber or Getresponse launched, explained Mike Darling

Thomas Prendergast added, "Veretekk has been in business for over 10 years going strong. The time has come for a huge upgrade of Veretekk. In the next months you are going to discover a paradigm shift in online marketing as our designers and engineers begin to deliver a social marketing solution that professional marketers have been looking for".

"A system that offers leads everyday, traffic portal hybrids infused with social marketing upgrades, state of the art conference rooms with quality and features that rival Gotomeeting, real unlimited hosting (that professional webmasters will appreciate) and live presentations, live training and top level mentors to help lead the way to your success and domination of the search engines. Thomas continued, but also stressed that, "Relationships and live interaction have always been the most important element in Veretekk. One of the new key features of V2 will be system wide collaboration in a full turn key environment." Thomas Prendergast ended this interview with his personal way of doing business, "Ethics, honesty and total accountability have always been my highest priority That is why, you can personally call me and that is why you will be completely impressed with V2, I guarantee it."

For more information regarding Veretekk and the Veretekk Warrior marketing group please come to our meeting tonight.

See you there,

Thomas Prendergast

Veretekk Creates the Everlasting Campaign

I could not resist writing this testimonial

I just got off the phone with a woman, who found me, via a "Xango Leads" blog post....this Blogger drone, was created by Tom Prendergast ( Veretekk CEO ) for a Trivita Campaign, over a year ago.

She wanted to know if I sold Xango Leads, as she was in the market...needless to say I told her no, that blog was part of a Trivita Campaign and....We Buy Customers, Not Leads

She wasn't impressed, said she had been in Trivita, and bought $50 customers, and it didn't pay off.

I shared the "Gift of Health" program...give away a $25 gift certificate...when used collect 70% commission....establishing New Customer, at less then half the Cost...I also told her about Keeping in Touch with her customer base.

Her response...."my Sponser never told me about that"

You can guess my response to her comment....needless to say she has been invited, to grab a Free Silver acct....and Make it to my Training Clases tues. and thurs. 8am PST....which she Readily Accepted>>>>>

WHY?...because she realized, with Veretekk, I can help her with Xango! Folks Veretekk really is All That...and Then Some

Thanks, Tom & Mike

Dear Tom and Mike,

Veretekk is a special place for me. I have some pretty serious health issues at times and Veretekk makes my world go round and round. It gives me a very good reason to live another day. I meet people daily through the Veretekk system that gives me the added energy and strength I need.

One such person is Anne Long who as I spend more and more time with I can tell she is wanting to learn something new everyday. To be successful in a business online you have to have a strong desire to make things work for you. Of course, you have to have direction as well and Ann I believe, sees the importance of learning how to market online for the betterment of any business or product and knows that Veretekk is the best platform to make that happen.

I need more and more people like Anne under my PCP and can see that happening in the near future. She is going to be a great Veretekkie and I am proud to work with her and call her a friend.

Thanks to my training within my Veretekk Gold account I enjoy some of the surpises when researching my SEO efforts.

I have one personal website about compostion and design in creating fine art ( just do a Google search for "create great art") and I have a WordPress blog and a Free-Press-Release linked to it. Today, early this morning, I found five positions for my art website, press release, blog on the first page of 1,690,000,000 entries for that set of key words! Thank You, Veretekk for being the only place where I have found such valuable training!

The fees I charge for helping others get their websites on the first page are helping to pay for my Veretekk Gold membership - and that aint all bad.

4. The Christmas Spirit comes early
The Veretekk Bully Pulpit Newsletter

"The Christmas Spirit comes early"

The GodFather Speaks
I paid you early this month. It has been a tough year and Christmas is coming.

By the way, I am now in Wyoming and loving it. Still waiting for the moving van and am about to go get Annette and move her here too. But, wow, did I make the right decision moving here. Anyway, back to the article....

You may have noticed that I paid your commissions early this month. It has been a tough year for everyone. Some it has been devastating others a struggle but everyone knows we are in an economic shift, as I predicted many years ago would happen.

I will make every attempt to pay you early next month as well all in the spirit of Christmas. You know, the holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Emanuel, our savior who died for our sins? God Bless you!

This recession or depression depending on how you look at it, is supposedly recovering, but the unemployment rate is not coming down. Large companies are beginning to post profits and the stock market continues to climb.

Want my opinion? I know you do! Many companies have taken advantage of this major downturn to shed their overheads. That includes debt as well as employees to become lean so they can compete in the global economy. This partially explains the continuing rise in unemployment as companies recover in profit.

As new businesses are launched, they are not hiring employees as they used to because they can easily outsource, automation and the Internet. Did you know you can hire a virtual assistant for around $300 per month? What is a virtual assistant? Think of having a full time administrative assistant (used to be called a secretary), to write your articles, to make your phone calls, to post to your blogs, to take your calls, to do your support, etc. These are real live people from the Philippines, India, etc.

With US regulations, taxes, workman's comp, medical benefits, unemployment insurance, withholdings etc. and it is going to get worse with the current leadership in this country, is it no wonder?

But there is an economy and that economy can make you wealthy if you know what to do. Getting or looking for a job is not it. Starting your own business is.

There has never been a better time to launch your own business. Veretekk is positioned to help you succeed at building a viable business online. We are here to help. Keep reading as I am going to give you the tools you will need in today's business environment.

I look forward to leading Veretekk into a whole new ball game come this January 2010 and really look forward to seeing you all the following week from my new home in Wyoming.

God Bless you all,

Thomas Prendergast
CEO
Veretekk.com, Inc.

Get a free Plat Control Panel for a year (limited offer)
Yep you read that right! Receive over $5,000 in value by having 10 or more Gold Veretekk subscribers in your front line.

When you build a front line of 10 or more Veretekk Golds, you will receive a Platinum Control Panel for the entire 2010 year at no cost to you absolutely free.

You have heard about the Platinum Control Panel right? Look at the testimonials below. These are real subscribers just like you who have this panel. Many are paying subscribers and some have received the limited Platinum for free from m y last promotion.

Flat out the Platinum Control Panel is the most powerful marketing system on the Internet. In fact many subscribers that have quit in the past are coming back in droves and reactivating their Gold accounts as they join the Platinum Leaders in our new direction as we prepare for the massive launch of V2 (Veretekk 2.0)

This offer is only good until December 31, 2009.

Get an additional 10 Veretekk Gold systems for a year (limited offer)

Now wait a dog on minute here. You mean to tell me I can also get an additional 10 Veretekk Gold systems for free too? Yep! It is the same offer as above, BUT, if you have 20+ Veretekk Gold accounts in your front line, you will also receive 10 key worded Veretekk Gold systems to ad to your Plat Control Panel for the entire year of 2010.

That is an additional value of over $5000.

To claim these incentives you need to Skype me your username and tell me you are ready to receive your Plat Control Panel for a year and give me your username. After I verify that you have 10+ or 20+ I will activate your Platinum Control Panel and contact you to interview you. If you pass the muster on the Interview, and most do, then you will also be invited into our exclusive Warriors Plat team where you will get personal training on every possible advanced marketing strategy, techniques and the knowledge to make your Platinum Control Panel explode your business.

This is already happening to the current Warrior's in this exclusive club. Not all get invited. To become part of this team takes a solid commitment and true dedication. Those of you that have been denied, know why, don't you.

Don't be denied, be committed, to excellence and laser focus with the Warriors!

The Platinum Warriors team. The concept and the strategy.
So what exactly is this Warriors team we are building?

It is a collective of men and women who are all focused on learning how to use and exploit the incredible power of the Platinum Control Panel.

This Warrior team includes many of the Platinum Beta team that have over a year in experience, the winners of the October promotion for the launch of the Platinum system (they have PCPs until the end of 2009) and the trainers (all trainers get PCPs limited).

The Warrior team is being trained to know how to use the Platinum Control Panel exactly as it was built to do by me and assisted by the many experienced and professional Internet marketers in the group.. Since I designed it, it makes sense that I teach the Warrior group to understand and exploit every aspect of this new powerful system.

The team is building and it is becoming very clear that this is a team of extraordinary skills and purpose.

So what is the main purpose of this team? To facilitate all Gold Veretekk subscribers in getting their systems properly formatted. I am sure you have heard or have even thought or murmured, that Veretekk is a lot of work to set up. Yes this is true. Veretekk is very sophisticated and that means very comprehensive. This level of sophistication and power comes with a price and that price is it takes time and effort to make Veretekk literally explode your business and take the search engines as well as plow your leads for you.

I am sensitive to this time configuration challenge that many have complained about. On one hand to make a simple push button automated marketing system is simply hogwash and hype. They don't exist nor work. Many of you that have left Veretekk for this seductive promise have returned because Veretekk, though challenging, does in fact work and work very well indeed!

We have a solution to this complexity issue. Interested? The Platinum Control Panel solves this issue in a very unique and dynamic way. Now listen up. One of the core systems in the Platinum Control Panel is the setting up of a Gold system. It simplifies and optimizes the entire process. What normally took over 8 hours to accomplish with a Gold system configuring all the Portals properly as well as linking all the portals together, creating keyworded back links, setting up other links, installing RSS feeds, etc. now takes about 5 minutes for a trained Platinum Control Panel owner.

Now a Veretekk subscriber wanting to upgrade to Gold can rest assured that the configuration process will no longer be an issue if they have a sponsor or upline with a Platinum Control Panel.

And, when we release V2, your front Veretekk site will broadcast to the world that you have a Platinum Control Panel (if you have one), among other assets, so the world will hunt you down to join you, because you have the muscle to do the heavy lifting for your customers. Are you listening to me?

Keep listening, because we are bringing on a paradigm shift that makes all the other wanna bees claims muffled and distant. Veretekk is about to change the rules of marketing yet again.

When it comes to Internet and Social Marketing, Veretekk is there and has always been there long before anyone else even knew what or where!

See you in the meetings.

Thomas Prendergast

Get FreeFfas leads for free.
Yes I love just giving it all away for free sometimes.

This January when we launch the V2 many of you will also get the Freeffa leads included with your Veretekk Gold system.

Huh?

Those of you that have a Gold Veretekk system this month and continue to keep that Gold come this January will get a very special surprise.

You all know that your FreeFFAs site offers free leads and over 600 per day everyday if you upgrade to the paid version. You know this right? Go see your FreeFFAs site here.

Well, those of you that have a Gold Veretekk system since November of this year will receive those leads everyday automatically in your Veremail system everyday for free. Just choose a Verification letter and press a button and bingo, you have sent your verification out to those leads with out any downloading, configuring or uploading. A big time saver and a valuable enhancement from us to show you our appreciation for your loyal business.

Not sure what I am talking about?

Come to our meeting next Monday and I will explain all of this to you so you understand the value, power and advanced nature of what sets Veretekk apart from every other system out there that tries to compete with us.

See you Monday

Thomas Prendergast
 




The Flood Of Testimonials Continues...
Real People With Real Results!
12 plus years ago I started doing business online or rather it started doing business on me. Right off the bat I knew there was lots that I needed to learn. I took a big chance and paid $6000 plus to help me understand

What in the world I should do. Yes, I did learn some things that helped me down the road, but nothing of substantial benefit that would help me prosper. I knew that my time in the teacher/coaching world was coming to an end due to some health issues and I sure needed to make myself ready. Well, I became the sucker of all suckers. I bought every tool that came my way that had the slightest little twist in marketing online. Those that sold me the tools are still laughing at me all the way to the bank.

But I finally gathered enough resources in my brain to come up with what I was sure I needed. I don't consider myself one of the dumbest guys on the Internet, but I am down there pretty close to the bottom. I can honestly say I am not an expert in any phase of Internet marketing but I do have the ability to steer individuals away from spending large amounts of money on tools, programs, and leads.

Through all the trials and errors when Veretekk came along I knew immediately it was a program that I felt I had found the fountain of youth. It gave me a tremendous boost in what I knew every marketer needed. I have made this statement in every conference I have performed and that is "I would never have a business online without the Veretekk marketing system."

If you are a Silver member my advice is to upgrade to a Gold membership and get under someone that has a Platinum Control Panel. You will never regret that move and will become your own marketing guru.

Veretekk Internet Consultant
 


I have been in MLM business since Feb 2008. I have looked at other marketing systems on line to market my business with. There are many of them online; I have not found another one that is so special like the Veretekk system. One of the reasons that Veretekk system is like no other one is because the owner of Veretekk can relate to people that has difficult challenges in life.

I was a paying member in Veretekk in 2005 but did not have a business that I want to work as much as I do now with the business I am involved in now. So I made the choice to stop Veretekk. When I got involved in the MLM business in Feb 2008, I choose to try other system out there that was quit a bit more money than Veretekk system but I found out there the training they have it was more of a sales pitch to get people involve in other marketing systems. I am talking about hundreds and even some weeks they were pushing thousands of dollars to invest.

After about a year in half of doing that I made the choice to come back and become a paying member on board with Veretekk. For around 50 dollars per month I been able to build my data base up just using the Veremail system over 400 opt in emails which means I can email them every day to start to brand my name in about 60 days.

I am being educated on SEO training, key words, blogging, making professional website, just to name some of the education that you could get from Veretekk marketing system.

Oh and do not worry Tom Prendergast, the owner is a very patience person.

Russell Falls

Note from Thomas Prendergast: Russell is blessed with Cerebral Palsy. I say blessed because despite this significant affliction, Russell rises above with positive attitude and determination and succeeds where others who have no handicap whine and complain how unfair the world is. Russell is a member of our Platinum Panel Warriors group and is one of my outstanding students. Yes I am patient because of blessings from champions like Russell. Welcome back Russell, I knew you would return.
 


Veretekk is unique in many respects. For years we have seen this marketing system build and build. Portal Marketing, Mailing Services and Daily Training were the core. With in each of these services changes were made that improved their function and providing greater benefits to members. Veretekk has not remained static. Many that looked at using Veretekk for success in this business left. In part because they were over-whelmed by all that they found here or did not understand our marketing strategy. We give away valuable services to folks wishing to market on line ..Off line too! It is only after we get to know each other that the inevitable question comes up "and what do you market on the Internet?'

The Good News is that Veretekk is going to change come January 2010! V2 will provide services that look into a future where the Internet is market place for the world. There are major changes coming to America and for that matter the people around the world. To meet this opportunity Tom Prendergast along with a core of Gold Veretekk members are pulling all the stops to make the launch a major success. This Team is armed with a tool developed by Tom and Mike, field tested by a beta group with huge result!... called the Platinum Control Panel. The PCP is now focused on the launches success and will be in a vital position to insure that as new V2 members join, their success will mean our success. You see our mission has not changed, Give and you will receive.... that is why I joined and I have been here since March 5 2005

5. All About Platinum
The Veretekk Bully Pulpit Newsletter

"All About Platinum"

The GodFather Speaks
The release of V2 is coming and the Platinum Control System is here!

As I prepare the final leg of my move to Wyoming and the final farewell to Southern California I reflect on the long journey we have all been on for sometime.

California is where I built Veretekk starting back to 1996 when I first moved here. 2001 was when things really started to change for me as well I am thinking most of you. That is when I dedicated myself to building the most advanced and comprehensive Marketing System on the Internet. That is also the same time the mother of my children ran off and challenges to many to count began. It has been a very long 8 years leading up to this point. The divorce was final this year, Veretekk stage one completed last year and the economy ran into a reef as predicted many years ago.

Veretekk has matured and is now poised and ready to grow into the next amazing platform we are calling V2. This year we delivered daily mailing broadcasting compared to once a week with your Bully Pulpit and we also upgraded the Veremail system to allow unlimited email lead databases on a daily basis. These two major improvements in our system have now paved the way for the V2 releases.

Least we forget the release of the Platinum Control Panel at the beginning of this month. Since that release we have around 100 Plat Control Subscribers including the well-experienced BETA team. This Plat Control Panel group has been formed into the Warrior Group of about 60 and are in daily training with me as I teach them and prepare them to become a reckoning marketing force for the launching of Veretekk 2.0 this coming January.

Veretekk Gold members will be well served by getting together with a Plat Control owner or buying one themselves and taking that leadership position within Veretekk.

It has already become clear that Plat Control leaders are already experiencing a surge in Veretekk Gold upgrades. With the combination of having a Plat Control Panel and the excellent training I am affording the Plat owners that have joined the Warriors group it is becoming very clear that a new paradigm shift within online marketing is beginning within Veretekk.

This shift is partially due to a group work focus instead of each individual pursuing Internet milestones for their own benefit. It incorporates that magic formulae called Chaos that works so well with Veretekk. The team recipe and the Plat leader with a multitude of Veretekk Golds is that perfect shift for the coming future of success on the Internet.

Many of the challenges individuals are faced with today especially SEO are solved with this new Veretekk technology and techniques only afforded by this unique combination of technology, technique and team focus.

I will be in the process of moving to Wyoming this week and will not be around for this Monday conference but have handed the meeting over to the Platinum Control Warrior team. You will recognize them by their color in the conference.

Jim Gras will head up the meeting. He is a seasoned and successful Veretekk subscriber and Beta Plat Control Panel owner.

Do not miss this meeting, this is the beginning of our new drive toward 2010 with many releases of tools and technologies coming as we prepare the final launch of V2.

Another enhancement to expect in January 2010 with the V2 launch is the inclusion of the FreeFfas leads built right into your Veremail system at no additional cost. Just log into your Veretekk Gold system, go to Veremail, choose ffa leads, pick a letter and push the button. Bingo, job is done and your list gets bigger. Simple as that. Now that is value!

I look forward to leading Veretekk into a whole new ball game come this January 2010 and really look forward to seeing you all the following week from my new home in Wyoming.

God Bless you all,

Thomas Prendergast

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues...
Real People With Real Results!
Thanks for this great Veretekk automated (internet) marketing system.

Having been involved in affiliate marketing of several products, I have seen big time improvement in my business with the use of tools provided from the Gold membership of Veretekk.

Anybody who is serious about becoming successful in internet marketing should be using Veretekk.

The investment you make in the Gold account and now in the Platinum Control Panel is nothing compared to what you gain back after you have put the system into work. The system will not do any good for you unless you consistently do your part by using the tools that are available in Veretekk.

I would like to thank Tom and Mike for spending their time and money into it, to keep the system up-to-date.

Tom,

It is with a great deal of gratitude that I contact you concerning one of your "warriors". I have been around for a long time, building circuits when Bill and his buddies were working in the garage. The only difference was that I was concentrating on PLC ladder logic. Well you know the story; he developed into the richest man in the world, while I invested in forty four MLM schemes. If you need the list send me an email.

A little over a year ago I purchased a share in the Platinum Control Panel development, and watched the ups and downs during its development. People would take control of my panel and then contact me and apologize; others would make use of it for their system and not even think twice of the inconvenience.

Did I mention that during my working career I have been employed with several of the largest engineering firms, names you would recognize? One of these firms has purchased the firm in Saint Louis, Missouri that manufactured the F15. The reason that I recall this experience is that the tolerances on the carbon resin wing fabrication machinery were within one one-thousandth of an inch. The point being, if everyone works as a team, the result is greater than the sum of each ones contribution.

Now, here is the rest of the story, this new Platinum Warriors group, with all indications, seems to be running like a well oiled Swiss watch. Oh, you want to know the name of the "warrior"? Robert Sterling!

Tom,

This is Don Jeffre (revenue4u) and I have been a Veretekk subscriber since the days of Permaworld, before the Veretekk affiliate program began in 2005. I have watched the program evolve from its infancy to the powerhouse marketing package we have today. The evolution continues with the just completed platinum control panel and the implementation of version 2.0 on the horizon. Wow, what a ride.

The one constant throughout the nearly 5 years has been that the power of the gold system has increased at least tenfold while the cost has remained the same. Where else are you going to find the marketing power of the gold system offered anywhere at any price. The answer is nowhere. A few years back a program called Referralware gave Veretekk some good competition. Yes, I was also a member of that one. The battle was waged and the victor emerged. The vanquished Referralware program was put out of business. Veretekk is still standing and getting more powerful all the time.

All this marketing muscle cannot help you unless you apply it to your online business. Are you still a free silver subscriber still trying to earn a living online without ever spending a dime. How is that working for you? That was a rhetorical question because we both know the answer. I liken a silver system to a first bicycle with training wheels. You cannot win a race against 10 speeds on one of those. Your silver membership is a training-wheels membership so you can look over the gold system. The gold system is where the real power is found.

Forget about looking at the gold system solely in terms of cost. Instead, do a cost-benefit analysis. Weigh the monthly cost of gold against the benefits. Shop the market for contact managers, autoresponders, lead generation tools, ad submitters blogs, rss feeders, conference rooms, seo tools and a comprehensive live training package where you learn how to use these features. I think you see my point. The gold system represents real value at a bargain price. Join in the excitement by upgrading to gold today and put your business on the fast track.

When I first came to Veretekk, I didn't know what this system was all about. I've been learning about internet marketing because my career of 30 years had virtually vanished with the recession. I had to come up with a new way to earn a living. As I started out in the Veretekk system I started to see the potential that this massive system had to offer.

This system has a great number of portals (I believe there are 42 portals) that perform many functions to help you get your business to the top of the search ergines. Blastomatic will send your ad out to 12 million sites. There is another portal where you can place countless classified ads and link them together in a daisy chain. There are many lead generating portals. Among the many features they have an e-mail system that currently, no one can match. You have the ability to send out up to 10,000 e-mails at a time, as many times as you want everyday. This system is a must for anyone looking to make money on the internet.

One of the many features that is tops in its class is the training they have to offer. They have live training on a daily basis along with training modules and video tutorials. The one thing about Veretekk that makes this company stand alone is its support. Not only do you have access to the training, but there are other members who are willing to help you out and even the CEO of Veretekk. Veretekk is like one big family. You couldn't find a company that offers so much for so little. This is the most complete system in the world.

I started out with a silver system and then upgraded to gold. The Gold System is an incredible system. Jamb packed with all the features that Veretekk has to offer. They have just come out with a new system called the Platinum Control Panel. I just recently acquired one and I am currently learning about what it has to offer. From what I see in the control panel, there is no way to stop anyone from owning the internet with whatever business they are in.

My name is John Park and I am telling you that with this ever changing internet, marketing strategies are always going to need to be updated. Google is the dominate search engine and Google changes constantly. If you don't keep up with the times you will be left behind. So take my advice and get involved in Veretekk and God Bless You in your venture.

John Park

6. Training Schedule Announcement
The Veretekk Bully Pulpit Newsletter

"Training Schedule Announcement"

The GodFather Speaks
But first do you know the rest of the story about autoresponders?

Veretekk has been delivering Online Marketing systems, automation and training for over 10 years. I have been involved in marketing on the Internet way before Yahoo was even around and long before Google showed up. My first search engine was a piece of software called Gopher.

Back in the very early 90's email was the only way most people marketed on the Internet. I did not. I did sell and I used AOL's classified ad system the first time out the gate. It worked, what can I say?

I built Veremail in 1997 and as I was about to reveal it at the 1998 Pre Paid Legal convention I was replaced by Tom Kulzer who at that meeting announced the up and coming email autoresponder system called Aweber. Very frustrating indeed.

A few years later came GetResponse from Poland founded by a sharp young kid whose name is Simon Grabowski.

Both these founders had a tough time at first in those early years dealing with Spam accusations and developing double opt in standards that Veremail incorporated right from the beginning.

Today they are world-class competitors. My hat is off to both of them.

Veremail has undergone many changes since those days. Instead of a stand-alone service it became integrated with Veretekk as part of a long-term solution to Internet Marketing.

Veremail is as effective as the best of the best and incorporates technology and hardware solutions that set Veremail to be the next leader in email marketing. But as things stand to day lets do some comparisons:

The differences between Get Response, Aweber and Veremail:

    Get Response:
  • Get Response costs $17.95 a month or $145.40 a year which equals to only $12.12 a month.
  • You can have a max of 10,001 - 25,000 subscribers at $145 per month.
  • Importing email databases is an extra charge.
    Aweber:
  • Aweber costs $19.00 a month for only 500 subscribers.
  • You can have a max of 10,001 - 25,000 subscribers at $149 per month.
  • Offers shopping cart integration.
  • Aweber allows you to remove the double opt-in feature. This is not a good idea to do though.
  • Importing email databases is an extra charge.
    Veremail:
  • Veretekk costs $54.95 per month
  • There are no up charges for larger subscriber lists.
  • There is no limit to how large your list can grow. Many subscribers have lists in excess of 50,000.
  • There are no limits as to how many leads you upload (import) into the system.
  • Veremail is fully integrated with Veretekk the leader in turnkey lead generation which incorporates 40+ unique sites for lead generation as well as SEO backlinks and rss feed generation.
  • Veremail has live interactive training and support from a large population of certified Internet professionals offering their expertise for your benefit.
  • Veremail is easy to learn and incorporate into your existing web pages and campaigns.
  • Veremail also posts to RSS feeds, Blog accounts and other Social Network Systems.
  • Veretekk Silver is free and Gold is free for the first 30 days.
  • Your own email address, web access and POP account. Protects you from spam complaints.
These are the basic differences but there is so much more that you get with Veretekk. The best thing to do is just take Veretekk for a spin and see for yourself.

Veretekk University!
Let the teaching begin!

For the next week I am offering training 3-4 times a day. As you know I am moving and will be on the road by next week. In the meantime I wanted to get the training started as we have many new things coming soon.

What to look for in my trainings?

    Total System Orientation:
  • I am sure you will be amazed at exactly what you do have in Veretekk. From customized PDF files and ebooks to dynamic Flash ads for each of your portals. Join me on this tour of discovery.
    Veremail:
  • Learn how to utilize the mailing engine in Veretekk. Unlimited leads uploads, redirect pages for setting up your campaigns, How to set up a campaign (Group),
    Forums
  • Why Veretekk gives you a definite edge and why you want to know this in preparation for V2. Forum commenting and interaction will improve your SEO and reputation and branding on the Internet. Especially if you are a trainer. Did you know our forum has an SEO section in it?
    Getting your Silvers verified when they fail to do so:
  • Often a Silver signup will occur and that subscriber lost the email we sent, did not receive it for some reason or got distracted (it happens). We have a solution and curious enough it will increase your Gold upgrades. If you are not doing this you are losing money!
    Swarming your Veretekk systems to improve lead generation:
  • For most subscribers that turn Gold, leads just start appearing, but you should not assume this will be the case. We did not design it to do that. But we can teach you how to get this system producing the leads you need.
    The Bully Pulpit
  • What are those Ffafarm leads? What can you do with them? Let me explain that and several of the other brilliant functions in the email broadcasting system called the Bully Pulpit.

I love teaching. Check the calendar, I am there. I look forward to you all being there as well.

The Platinum Control Panel
The Team is built and in training with The Godfather!

The core purpose of the PCP is to build top ranking search engine sites. Veretekk's goal from the very beginning was and is to deliver a system that produces leads for you effortlessly. We call them premium leads because they are not bought and sold. They are generated with your Veretekk system.

The key to Internet business is being found by someone looking to buy what you have for sale. Sounds easy enough. It isn't. The quest to sell is what generates unsolicited phone calls, email spam and spam faxes to this day. But when you or someone wants to buy a product or service, 99% of the time they consult the search engines and if you are there when they do and have what they are looking for, you get the sale.

The Plat Control Panel gives you the power to set up Veretekk Gold accounts within minutes. This is important as we move forward toward the launch date of the Veretekk 2 system. That system will be very sophisticated with greater configuration requirements. You will have a distinct advantage having a Plat Control Panel

The Plat Control Panel opens up unlimited possibilities for your Internet Marketing goals.

We now have a team of about 100 Plat Control Panel owners. The results are already starting to occur. Bottom line, Plats are getting the Gold upgrades in record numbers. Because Plats super charge Gold accounts. Get on the team or find a Plat Leader now. This is all in preperation of launching the massive V2 project in January.

The Flood Of Testimonials Continues...
Real People With Real Results!
Tom and Mike!

I am a Success.
Because of Veretekk...

You can find these kind of testimonials everywhere, just turn on the TV at 3 am. One infomercial after the next tells great stories of Internet wealth and success.

My story is just a little bit different, from the run of the mill success stories.

I did not make $50,000 in the first 30 days.

I don't have a sports car, and I don't Vacation on the Riviera.

But, I am successful, all the same…

Since I deal with ADD/ADHD there are a Lot of careers that just aren't--oh, WoW, did you see that cat--suitable.

As if that's not enough, I get terrible migraines (Don't you Dare call these things 'head-aches), that can drive me to bed in a dark room--for hours and some-times, days.

You can see how the 'average' career doesn't suit me well.

Again, a lot of people, who are in much the same situation as I (and a Whole lot of folks that deal with stuff I can't imagine) look to the Internet and Online Marketing, as an alternative, and answer, to the ever increasing problems associated with a 'normal' job.

Veretekk is an online entity.

The similarities stop there.

Veretekk supplied me with the Tools, Training and Support necessary for anyone wanting to operate an online business. I'm talking about All the tools I had been trying to acquire on my own, and Much better marketing resources than I was able to afford. All part of my small monthly fee and all in one place, I didn't have to remember what file I had put which program in. The big thing is, these online resources are already State of the Art-'You can't touch this' , cutting edge technology, and yet Tom Prendergast (CEO) and Mike Darling (Pres.) keep improving and adding to this massive marketing arsenal.

Live Training at Veretekk is a joy--and quite a shock, after having been to several trainings from MLMs and Affiliate Programs that made me call in--using My Long Distance Minutes. I'm also, rather hard of hearing, phones don't work to well for me either.(by the way…I have been to a Lot of Veretekk Classes, for almost 3 yrs. I have Never had 1 Trainer tell me about how great His/Her opportunity is.)

As the Internet and Online Marketing have changed, the training has changed to encompass the changes; adding and expanding the subject matter of classes as the need arose. It's almost as though I have attended several colleges and Tech Schools for the last few years (I still attend classes as often as I can possible work them into my schedule).

Successful?

I've made friends literally from all over the world. Not only from with-in Veretekk, but also from contacts I have made as part of my Marketing Efforts.

I have acquired a first rate continuing Education in the various fields of Internet Marketing , Computers and Web Site Design.

I have built a down-line and a huge list of eMail subscribers (hey, I'm impressed-- the guru's always say 'the money is in the List')

I have leads coming into my mailbox Constantly--and I Do mean Constantly.

After almost 2 years living in 1 room at a local Motel (with 3 dogs and 3 cats), we bought a nice home in the Country, just where I like to live.

This fall I launched my own SEO Company --relying Heavily on the resources available to me as a member of Veretekk. I actually have people calling me.

I'm doing something I love doing, and I'm learning Every Day.

Yea, I would say that I am Very Successful…

And it just keeps getting better.

Thank You, Tom
Thank You, Mike
Thanks to all of you wonderful folks that helped Train me

Thanks Veretekk

Veretekk and its leadership continue to surprise me with their cutting edge technologies and down to earth management style. They are arguably the best at what they do and yet the CEO answers his own telephone. After 20 years in the small business arena, I can tell you that this company is definitely a different animal. Whether you’re looking for a lead generation tool, database management, a list building system, daily SEO training and more – Veretekk has it ALL. I’ve looked for other comparable systems and nobody comes close to the value that Veretekk delivers day after day.

If you’re building an online business or an online presence for an off line business, you need to go now and sign up for a free silver system. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Take advantage of the no cost daily trainings, use the tools, learn about the system and I believe that you too will see the undeniable power that is Veretekk.

Veretekk - the Secret is out!

Veretekk is such a powerful tool that a person would normally want to keep this to themselves and not let anyone know their secret to success. Not so with Veretekk! The more people we share this with, the more powerful it becomes and the more success each and every one of us will achieve.

There was a time when the free training provided was absolutely critical for your success. Today, if independence is not so important, you can get by without configuration training. The reason for this is the PCP (Platinum Control Panel)... All you have to do is find someone with a PCP and pay them to configure your Veretekk System. Once this is complete, you have a MUCH MORE POWERFUL GOLD VERETEKK than you would have had before, even if you took all the training and spent all the hours necessary to manually configure. Then, all you do is push the buttons, write content for your automatically posted blogs and blogger drones and contact your leads.

The Veretekk Gold offers you 21 Traffic Portals to capture peoples interest, 20 SEO Portals to help boost your search engine rankings where you can also advertise to your hearts content. In addition, there are several tools to help you expose your primary opportunity or products. You have unlimited email power as well... No competitor can compare to everything you get with Veretekk Gold. Then when you step into the world of the PCP, your Veretekk Gold becomes infinitely more powerful.

Some facts about email systems. Veretekk's Veremail email systems are significantly different than any other email systems offered on the Internet. To illustrate this, we must break the system down into it's basic parts.

The database:

All email systems must have a database; otherwise you don't have anyone to send email to. But building that database is what clearly sets Veremail apart from all the rest. Let's illustrate this. With Veretekk you have many systems at work to build your list. Starting with the Traffic Portals, Veretekk owns over 40 (and always growing) unique domains that offer real services and systems for free in exchange for the subscribers name, address, phone number, some with survey results and double optin email addresses. These are real services, not just easily disseminated content.

Traffic Portals

What are real services? Real leads delivered from real lead systems that Veretekk owns. Everyday unique email leads, date, name and IP addresses. Real submission services that others charge $100 for on a per yearly basis. Real technology submitting your subscribers ads across the Internet with real results. Real state of the art Live Web based conference rooms. Also known as webinars, for free, that challenge brand name services with free access, excellent sound quality, excellent recording quality and superior support. Real state of the art PDF free Vacation coupons that really do deliver free 3 day vacation packages. The list continues with real software, real websites, real daily quotes, real stuff, not just some free report. Stuff people are looking for. Already turnkey and ready to go to work for you with little to no effort, that is turnkey, which means you start building your email list right out of the gate.

Your own capture pages

An important feature you also get submission forms that you can put right into your websites. These are often referred to as CAMPAIGNS, we call them GROUPS, many other companies limit how many campaigns you can have, we don't.. These forms are customized to redirect to any website you wish and send any set off custom autoresponders you build when the subscriber verifies from submitting your form. Your forms have many options depending on how much information you wish to collect.

Sequential email autoresponders

Once your subscriber has verified they begin receiving your campaign autoresponders and are also added to your email broadcasting control panel. This panel has all your leads organized according to what type of lead they are. Your GROUPS (campaigns) show up as Veremail Groups and categorized according to the name you labeled that group as. The email broadcasting control panel (Bully Pulpit) allows you to send email to your groups all or sub sets on a daily basis.

Database email uploads

You have the ability to upload as many email addresses into your system in sets up to 10,000 per upload. You have the choice to use 20 verification template emails for these uploads, and when that prospective owner of that email verifies, you have the choice to have the system send them a set or series of autoresponders you produced and…you can also set the system to redirect to any website you wish.

Since you also have an incoming email web mail system (yourname@veretekk.com) any email being sent to your email addresse(s) (You have the ability to make unlimited email addresses) also go to your own Veretekk POP account as well as your web based email account in the email broadcasting system (The Bully Pulpit).

Your own email account

When you sign up for an email account like Gmail, Yahoo, Live, etc. you are getting a web based email account and an email address like yourname@gmail.com, right? You all understand this I am sure.

If you have online access with someone like Comcast, you have an email address like yourname@comcast.com and it is accessed through your Outlook or Eudora email software and is reffered to as a POP account. I am making sense so far right?

If you sign up for an autoresponder system from anyone but Veretekk, you need an outside email like Gmail or your Comcast account and this makes no sense whatsoever if you give it some thought. There are solid reasons why your autoresponder system should be a complete turnkey system that includes your own email address both web based and POP account.

Total Integration

First of all it completes the circuit of your system. Everything in one place. Second it assures continuity in regards to good email practices and validity. When you sign up for Veretekk your Veremail email system is your email system, not a third party as a return address.

As Matt Keith of Global Distribution Network says, ""With any internet email responding system, there will be many individuals, companies and lists that your email will be placed on when responding to your own offers and newsletters. For most, this is an annoying part of the business and process, but you can turn this into an asset for yourself and your business. If someone is sending you an email for an offer of their own, then you can be sure that they are looking to build their list or their bottom line. If you set your email service and business up to "reverse market" to these individuals with your services, especially a service that generates leads like Veretekk, you can be sure to get a response back and you will begin to build leads from junk mail.""

Further Mo Youngs ads, "An email account with Gmail or hotmail now days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email."

Then there is the Spam complaint. If you are using an autoresponder system that utilizes a third party email like Aweber does ie: yourname@yahoo.com, then you loose! Your email account gets terminated, period. When you use a system that integrates their own mail servers to give you your own unique email address with a web based and POP email account that company bears the brunt of that complaint, defends against it and you win! Your email address is not terminated. Your service continues and you are exonerated.

Frank Marshal experienced this when his primary health related distributorship, without notice, terminated his affiliate position because of a spam complaint. However, the email message was delivered through Veretekk's mail servers and with Veretekk's validated mail search system, Veretekk was able to prove Frank was innocent and restore his health distributorship account back to normal.

No other autoresponder system can offer this. Only Veretekk does this.

Deliverability of the message.

When you are shopping for an autoresponder system, you want to make sure that system has a long term reputation on the Internet. That they utilize good email practices. That they are vigilant and communicate with the various policing systems like SpamCop and interact with all the top ISP services out there.

You want to make sure they have massive server redundancy so you can rest assured that the email is sending out quickly and effectively. To test this I use my own email server that has Spam Assassin but does not filter. You are welcome to use this address to test. The email address is [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] the password is 12345.

Go ahead and use the email address to signup into one of your portals like http://trivita.blastomatic.com

Then check for the email at http:mail2web.com. Enter the email address [emailme@workfrom-homejob.com] and password to receive the email. Use a timer. It will be less than a second for mail delivery. WARNING: Not all email systems are equal.

I have set up the Spam Assassin on this account to display the spam score for anything above 0.1. Anything below 5.0 usually gets delivered. Anything below 4.0 is considered good. Anything below 2.0 is considered excellent. Anything below 1.0 is perfection. You will see Veretekk email is in the excellent to perfection range.

View the source of the email and the content.

Here is a typical spam report for a Veretekk reply autoresponder

X-Spam-Report:
* 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
* 0.0 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
* 0.5 HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG HTML-only message, but there is no HTML tag
*- 0.4 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list <--NOTE we are on white lists THIS IS GOOD

Here are a few other samples:

Notice no Spam alert and the large notices of leads coming into my account

This is a typical header showing no issues with the email

Veretekk email delivers without issue to Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail as these illustrations show:

Gmail:

Yahoo

Hotmail

Bottom line summary:

The deliverability of Veremail is consistent and trustworthy. All email that Veretekk/Veremail sends is validated to be verified. You will never fear losing your email account, your web pages or being left alone to defend yourself against false spam accusations, period. No other autoresponder offers you this protection or level of personal service.

Veretekk/Veremail's Spam Assassin rating is well below 2.o and is usually at ZERO. Veretekk remains vigilant in keeping in communication with the Spam associations out there as well as the major ISPs to assure that Veretekk's Veremail is always delivered.

Veretekk does not raise your cost depending on how big your database gets. One low cost is guaranteed regardless as to no matter how large your mailing lists gets. Can all the other autoresponder systems out there guarantee that? No!

Veretekk / Veremail allows unlimited email address database uploads for verification to build your lists. UNLIMITED! No other autoresponder system out there offers this unlimited service.

Comments:

An email account with Gmail or hotmail now a days sounds unsophisticated. Email that comes from a legitimate domain has more credibility particularly when it is integrated with marketing keywords that reflect the subject of the email. Now I use Veretekk!
Mo Youngs

About 4 years ago my ISP shut down my email account with out notice after receiving a false spam complaint. It took me two weeks to convince them that the person had subscribed to my mailing system Group mail 5 and all my email had a method of self-removal.

When my account was cleared they gave me a new email address but I never got access to my old email address, which was most inconvenient. Now I use Veretekk!
David Ogden

I was shut down by my ISP about 7 years ago - even though I considered my list to be 'clean'. more recently my current ISP stopped me sending emails via a proprietary email software I've been using for 9 years because they claimed the 600 + emails I sent "Slowed their system down". They still do not allow me to send by that method. Now I use Veretekk!

8. Another chance to win a Platinum Control Panel
The Veretekk Bully Pulpit Newsletter

"Another chance to win a Platinum Control Panel"

The GodFather Speaks
What is your Creed?

Here is my creed: I believe in one God, the Creator of the universe. That he governs it by his providence. That he ought to be worshiped. That the most acceptable service we render to him is in doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be fundamental points in all sound religion.

Do you know who wrote that? It is a quote from Benjamin Franklin and I am assuming you know who he is right? I am a fan of Benjamin Franklin among many other leaders in our country's history.

It is this core value that motivated the building of Veretekk and most recently the Platinum Control Panel and last weeks promotion.

The Platinum Control Panel Promotion was a stunning success. Being that Veretekk is a God inspired project, the many blessings and undeniable miracles that have brought Veretekk this far, it is not uncommon however it still amazes me when God reveals himself in my endeavors. Let me explain.

The current political environment we are experiencing is making it harder and harder on the entrepreneurial individual's ability to succeed and this concern should be every ones in Veretekk as I assume we are all in pursuit of financial success in the process of doing business. The same with the cultural war we are experiencing. These issues most recently inspired an emotional and provocative meeting several weeks ago.

I did not point to one or other political party, I indict both the parties. Basically I am telling everyone, as I believe it is my responsibility to be the watchmen (CEO and Founder) looking over my flock (Veretekk subscribers) that we have a government that is not representing you, the entrepreneurs, as I believe is one of my responsibilities and should be theirs!

I am well read and educated in the affairs of economics, government and politics. I am a very critical thinker. I listen to all sides. Ed Schultz. Randy Rhodes, Alan Combs, Hightower, etc. as well as Shaun Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mike Savage and Limbaugh. These are talk show hosts from the far left to the far right and places in the middle. I don't listen to them all the time, but often when driving.

I watch CNN, Fox, NBC and CBS. I read a ton of blogs across the spectrum.

I do not trust anyone news outlet as being un-slanted. I am after all a critical thinker. I do not like seeing America being divided against it's self.

I happened to read a lot too and bought the book Common Sense because I read the original (From 200 years ago) and Glenn Beck was inspired to write this one. It is a great book and I decided to work at getting it passed around. Interesting I had one subscriber quit because I mentioned his name. Come on folks, really? Is that what we are all about?

From the beginning of launching Veretekk I have never held back my spiritual beliefs in Jesus Christ and I have always been a strong supporter of individual rights, limited government and free enterprise. Why all of a sudden I have a small percentage of subscribers threatening me to quit or accusing me of ruining their business because I feel free to discuss current issues and events that include God and Country seems to me to be a sign of the times.

A few weeks ago after getting threats from some subscribers because I offer up prayer and mentioned Glenn Beck I spent several days in prayer. What was this all about? Should I avoid these political controversies? I spent several hours with my pastor discussing this. He said, let the Holy Spirit guide you and I did just that.

The Platinum Control panel promotion was the result of weeks of prayer. The Platinum Control Panel is the fulcrum of the coming Veretekk V2. As the project completed, I felt compelled to offer it up for one individual based on their written essay on why they deserved to have this gift. I was inspired to make this offer. In our meeting last week I went further and asked anyone that felt compelled to send me a Skype with a small request as to why they wanted the Plat Panel.

And there in lies why I am writing this article. I was overwhelmed with the out pouring of my subscribers as each one shared with me how Veretekk has changed their life, a few even went so far to claim that Veretekk actually saved their life. Everyone one of the stories left me with tears and overwhelming love for you my subscribers.

So I decided to give the Plat System to everyone that sent me a Skype and I cut it off at 25. Why I did not choose beyond that number was just intuition, nothing else. This group of 25 is now called The Platinum Warriors. Come meet them tonight.

Now here is the core of this story. It is called love. I prayed to my Lord to help me decide to move forward with Veretekk or not. It has been a long year of many trials. I was starting to think that maybe Veretekk was no longer a blessing to that many people. Man oh man was I wrong. Then this promotion idea came along and then being completely overwhelmed by the results convinced me that Veretekk is just getting started!

Oh and one more thing, Jesus is very much alive and well in my life and in Veretekk. The Platinum Warriors are at the core of Veretekk as people who embody Christ and true believers of the Veretekk mission. I did not plan it that way, but I think I know who did.

Veretekk is more than just a company or an opportunity. It is a mission built with a vision focused on freeing people from the bonds of limited thinking, under employed or poorly retired.

May you all be richly blessed and God bless all of you, every single one!

See you tonight,

Why the Platinum Control Panel is integral to your success
And one more call for those that attend for a free Platinum Control Panel

With a growing base of Platinum Control Panel subscribers I wanted to share with you why this is a fundamental advantage to everyone that has a Gold Veretekk system. If your sponsor or upline has a Platinum Control Panel, they are being trained right now by me on how to use that power to take your Traffic Portals and put them into top Google search results. That means you will prosper from a significant increase in leads. This is good right? Not that the Veretekk system does not already produce leads, but if you want massive leads, this is how it is done. I know, I built Veretekk to do this and the following is an example of the generous results I get.

Right now we have two Platinum Control Panel teams that are going to be available as trainers, team captains and Veretekk Gold consultants. Many will be available to bring your Veretekk system into their Plat Panel and the primary goal will be to enable your system to reach greater goals in top Google searches for your Traffic Portals and lead generation.

Tonight I will launch the third team. Are you going to be part of this third team? You must attend to find out.

My goal is to build three major Platinum Control Panel teams with Veretekk. These teams will be there to help you get your Gold Veretekk system up an running faster. We need these teams in place for many reasons.

When we launch Veretekk V2, that system will be integrated into the teams of Platinum. The Platinum system will drive the technology that will be built into your Gold Veretekk account.

October 1st is just a few days away and the Platinum Control Panel is ready to launch

The monthly contest for a free Platinum Control Panel.
Contest begins October 01, 2009

Folks this is worth $6000 and will begin October 01, 2009

Each month I will choose one Veretekk subscriber to receive a free one year full subscription including the 10 Veretekk Golds with it.

This contest will be based on that particular Gold subscriber who has the most Gold upgrades for that particular month.

The winner will receive a full 1 year Platinum Controol Panel including the 10 Veretekk Gold accounts with it.

You may keep it for yourself, transfer it to someone else within Veretekk or sell it.

The only catch is you must be a Gold subscriber yourself.

I am the recipient of a Platinum Control Panel thanks to Tom's generosity.

That was this Friday evening, today Saturday a group of us met to start our first task. The training was so easy to follow. Once this task is completed it will amount to less than 2% of the power available in the Platinum Panel and will result in TONS of leads to my Veretekk System and my Primary Business....I am so EXCITED! Can you tell?

I've been learning about internet marketing for almost two years now. I've seen practically every system and product launch out there. Then I came across the Veretekk System. I started out by signing up with the silver account. The silver account has it's limitations, but I used what was available. Pretty soon after I saw what a great system I had here, I upgraded to Gold. This opened up a world of opportunities for me. This system stands alone, there is nothing out there in the world that even comes remotely close. It is packed with lead generating portals, a top notch e-mail system like none other and a first class training center with live trainers. The support is incredible, I feel like I've been adopted into a huge family. I just recently aquired the new Platinum control panel which takes the Veretekk System to a whole new level. If you are looking to build your business and take it to levels that you only dreamed possible, then you need to get into The Veretekk System.

Thomas Prendergast crosses the finish line...
After 10 years it is done!

Veretekk™ is a vision that dates back to 1992. It started to solidify in 1998 with the beginning of Inetekk.com, Inc. The year 2002 it became known as Veretekk™. Since that time I have literally spent 20 hours a day building and tons of money in hardware and technology. NOTE: I must give Mike Darling major KUDOS for seeing this vision and rolling up his sleeves and joining me in this endeavor around 1998. Without his support and tireless commitment, Veretekk™ would have never become what it is today.

I am delighted to announce that everything I wanted Veretekk to be has been accomplished. Every detail in Veretekk™ is done. The Portal Control Panels are all standardized and completed. Veremail™ has major upgrades. All the details are completed and now I get to graduate from the boiler room development to heading up the Marketing at the Speed of Thought campaign.

This is a major accomplishment and I would like to invite all of you to attend our Sunday conference as I unveil all the little details and benifits that are now at your disposal. This will be a fashion show of sorts as we parade all the new details and enhancements found throughout your Veretekk™ system.

As I move into marketing I will also be hosting major training sessions starting Monday December 03, 2007. Check the calendar for the times and dates. These trainings are called "Veretekk™ from start to finish", [From Start Up to a Finished Marketing Machine]. I will be recording these events as I build the new training modules in the Veretraining™ area of your Veretekk™ back office.

From here on out, Mike Darling will be taking the lead in the continued growth and development of new and exciting enhancements to Vetetekk.

I will be driving Veretekk to new heights with Press Releases, radio shows, SEO domination and major Internet recognition.

MERRY   CHRISTMAS

Dear Tom and Mike I just wanted to say a few things about my Veretekk experience. I was "playing" at marketing on the net. I purchased a bunch of "Guru" programs and read tons of their ebook and still I wasn't any closer to success than when I started. Fortunately for me I met one of your trainers who pointed me toward the Veretekk system and what I learned in the very first week made me HUNGRY for more. If I first started her I would have saved a ton of aggrevation and frustration, not to mention enough to have paid for my Gold system for the next 10 years. There is no doubt in my mind Veretekk is #1 Thanks for the leg up and I will join you at the top!

12. 2007-08-24 Possible New Veretekk Packages, Google Adsense


Major Veretekk™ Updates And Program Enhancements!!!
More Value... And More Money In Your Pocket!

After well over 10 years of business (more than 7 years under the Veretekk™ name), it is time again for the system to enjoy a major round of updates and improvements. We are currently in the 3rd year since the Veretekk™ affiliate program was added and we think it's high time to crank the system up to the next level!

In the coming weeks you will see a number of additional corporate Bully Pulpit emails that include additional announcements and details of various aspects of the system. But if you really want to get the inside scoop, we encourage you to be on the Sunday conferences! In addition to being able to explain all of the exciting system enhancements, it offers a direct way of getting your questions answered.

The main change to Veretekk™ is that the different subscriber packages are being focused on their specific purposes, and simultaneously expanded to be even more effective in producing the results each is intended to produce. What's it all mean? Simple. It means even more powerful tools to help your business succeed and a LOT more money in your pocket through commissions and passive residual income!

These changes will NOT all take place immediately (although some have already begun... read on below!) This information is being provided to start making people aware of things to come. There will be plenty of time to decide what you want to do with your own Veretekk™ account. The tentative cut-over date for the new system is October 1, 2007. There will be announcements between now and then explaining the conversion process.

The following is a brief description of the new Bronze, Silver, and Gold systems. You may also follow the link below for a more in-depth comparison of the packages.

Click here to compare all 3 systems.
 


Registration Fee - Free
Subscription Fee - Free

The Veretekk Bronze system is designed for the tire kickers. It provides you a way to explore the Veretekk system to see what's available and get a general idea of the various features and functions and see how it all works. It does not come with any Traffic Portals, Profit Portals, or SEO Portals - just a Veretekk affiliate website. Almost all of the functions throughout the system are in place simply to show you how things function, but prevent access to using the tools themselves. That said, Bronze is a real system and can be used to generate income. Anytime someone signs up for a Veretekk system through your Affiliate Site and decides to upgrade to either Silver or Gold, you get paid $60.00! Not bad for never having to spend a penny yourself...
 


Registration Fee - $99.95
Subscription Fee - $10.00/month

The Veretekk Silver system is specifically designed to be a powerful Search Engine Optimization (SEO) system. It includes 20 Traffic Portals and 10 SEO Portals as well as the Portal Control Panel for managing the content on these websites. It also includes the VereTracking Code Tracker tool which allows you to evaluate the traffic statistics to each of your sites. Numerous people have utilized the Silver system to consistently push their own websites to the top of the search engines. Don't know how? No problem because Silver also comes with live hands-on training from SEO experts offered every few hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the Silver online VoIP VereConference room. At just $10/month, Veretekk Silver is an incredible value for anyone interested in getting a top search engine ranking!
 


Registration Fee - $99.95
Subscription Fee - $42.95/month

The Veretekk Gold system is the most advanced and effective online lead generation and automated marketing system available in the world. It includes everything you get with Silver, and a whole LOT more. If you think of the Silver system as a dependable fishing boat that will help you to reel in results, Veretekk Gold is the aircraft carrier! As you explore the Bronze and Silver systems and start to understand how things fit together you will inevitably be drawn towards Veretekk Gold. Every subscriber is different... some recognize the incredible power of Veretekk Gold within hours of signing up for a Bronze system. Others may upgrade to Silver and use that system for months before they start to see the forest through the trees. Regardless of whether it takes a day or a month, at some point the light bulb comes on and you will become immediately overwhelmed by the sheer gravity and awesome power of what Veretekk Gold can offer you. When this happens, it's time to upgrade to Gold and watch your business explode!
 


New SEO Portals Are Here!
Search Engine Optimization Just Got That Much Easier...

One of the first enhancements of the new Silver and Gold systems is already complete! You now have 20 new portals as part of your system (yes - that's right... "twenty" new portals, totally under your control!) These are a different type of portal from the Traffic and Profit portals you have become familiar with. The "SEO Portals" are designed specifically to aide with Search Engine Optimization (SEO), not lead generation or direct marketing. As with all portals you have full control over the content (displayed text, hyperlinks, title/meta tags, photo upload, etc.) through the PORTAL MARKETING section of your Veretekk™ back office. There will be live training available for Silvers and Golds to learn how to leverage these new portals as part of your SEO efforts.
 


Veretekk™ Offers Integration With Google Adsense™!
Just One More Way To Create Residual Income From Your System...

Recognizing that many Veretekk™ subscribers also have accounts with Google Adsense™, offering the ability to integrate the 2 functions was far overdue! For those not familiar with Google Adsense™, it is a free service offered by Google™ that allows people to display Google ads on their own websites - and pays out commissions to the owner anytime a visitor clicks on one of the ads. For more information click here.

As we are in the process of adding lots of new goodies and portals to the system in anticipation of the new Bronze, Silver, and Gold packages, it's the perfect opportunity to make this leap. As mentioned above, a number of new "SEO Portals" have been added to the Silver and Gold systems. However, 10 of these new SEO Portals (which are only available in the Gold system) have Google Adsense™ functionality embedded within them. Veretekk™ Gold subscribers can now go to the CONFIGURATION area within their back office and configure their Google Adsense™ settings so that the ads displayed on these websites are associated with their own personal Google Adsense™ account!

This is just a first step with Google Adsense™ integration. Look for more updates in the future as we expand the availability of these features into new areas of the system.

Here Are Just A Few From This Week Alone...
Yes, Tom and Mike, I AM blown away with the whole Veretekk™ system and the way you are constantly making things better for all of us. Great training and fantastic search engine optimization make this a very special business. I am proud to be associated with Veretekk and Inetekk™.

Veretekk™ will be undergoing "Major Surgery" in the weeks to come as Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling take on the task of restructuring the number one LEAD GENERATION system on the Internet! The surgery, although far from life-threatening, will significantly improve way Veretekk™ walks, talks, and overall system performance. In the months to come the Veretekk™ system will become a Webmaster and Entrepreneur’s dream and the envy of all other lead generation systems. The Veretekk™ members themselves will be the beneficiaries of these changes. All three membership levels will strategically put the average subscriber into a RESIDUAL cyclone of income that will make anyone who observes what is taking place and not participating literally blush with shame! With a nucleolus of over 50,000 members and the new wave of internet beginners, the future looks bright for anyone with the smarts to do a du-diligence on Veretekk™ to see that it offers everything it says and much, much more!

Over the last year Leadsomatic™ has become one of the Veretekk™ systems fastest growing Profit Portals. It just so happens that the same people were responsible for the "Major Surgery" on Leadsomatic™ as are now reworking Veretekk™. As a member of both Veretekk™ and Leadsomatic™ I would like to personally thank both Tom Prendergast and Mike Darling for a job well done and would like to ask my fellow Veretekk™ brothers and sisters to take a few minutes of their time and show our leaders just how much we have all been able to "see the light" - inspired by the resolve of two visionaries who believe in helping the average Joe compete with all the "big money boys" in the LEADS and LEADS GENERATION arena.

PS. I believe in ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE... let's really prove we are worthy to WALK THE WALK AND TALK THE TALK!!!

This week was another one where there have been a number of minor system updates and improvements in Veretekk™, but all of which have again been dwarfed by the results flooding from the Leadsomatic™ system! As such this week's Bully Pulpit is going to be short and sweet - providing you the latest stats so that you can evaluate the results for yourself.

Since the Leadsomatic™ system enhancements on 6/1/07 there have now literally been hundreds of new signups... and hundreds of upgrades to the full system! There are thousands of dollars in commissions pending for the month of June alone - and we're just over half way through the month! The percentage of upgrades to the paid system of total signups since 6/1 is an incredible 28% conversion rate! That is a MASSIVE statistic! If you have paid attention to the Bully Pulpits from the last few weeks, you can see that as huge a percentage as it has been it's actually increased a little more in recent weeks! Simply amazing. Perhaps even more incredible is that for every 6 people that have upgraded, less than 1 has cancelled! Folks that's called retention at its finest!

But beyond the basic statistics, we have received a flood of comments and feedback from Veretekk™ subscribers about the sheer number of premium leads they are seeing generated by their system... Not just Leadsomatic™ leads but tons of leads coming in from all of their other traffic portals as well. Do you know why this is happening? BECAUSE VERETEKK™ WORKS! What's happening is that a lot of you have started really promoting your Leadsomatic™ site because there is new information and stats for you to use in your marketing efforts. As you do this and people go to your Leadsomatic™ website the rest of your system is kicking into gear. Prospects are following the links on your site to your other traffic portals as well. They are receiving your sequential mail sets as they signup into Leadsomatic™ and your other portals. Your automated marketing system is doing just that! We are pleased to hear from so many people about the great results they are seeing...

If you have not taken a close look at your Leadsomatic™ portal to understand how it can start producing massive leads for your business (and a nice passive income at the same time), it's not too late. Go check it out and get to work. You won't be disappointed!

Our Subscribers Know Best!
Don't Just Take Our Word For It...
This week marks my two year anniversary with Veretekk™ and I have to share this with you. Not only have I received a commission each and every month since joining I have also reduced my operating costs for doing business online to absolutely nothing as I was one of those individuals that was spending $300 - $500 per month on leads. Most importantly it has been the best education I have ever received and got paid for it. The exciting thing is that we all have a database of our own within the system. I subscribe to a Vereconference™ room and after listening to Tom and Mike on one of the calls decided to try a few things they suggested and a couple of my own ideas. To make a long story short I was able to generate even more leads and "paying leads" out of my existing data base by learning how to use the tools that we have in front of us. Once again Thank You Mike and Tom for creating what we have here and allowing us to be your partners in the field and continually moving forward.

Hi Tom and Mike, Just wanted to drop a short but honest, testimonial. Both of you gentlemen are doing tons of unheard of things with the Marketing World on the internet. I have been Gold for some time now. I must admit at times that Veretekk™ is overwhelming. I have no intention of giving up, I will keep up and I will make lifelong friends and income (icing on the cake) LOL. Mike keep up the good work, that's what keeps Tom so young. LOL Again, thank you both.

14. 2007-06-15 Leadsomatic Results Flooding In!


Leadsomatic™ Continues To Explode!
Are You Riding The Wave? (or is it rolling over you...?)

Well there's a lot going on this week at Veretekk™, but the standard system updates and announcements are being eclipsed by the explosion of activity and results from the Leadsomatic™ system! In the first 2 weeks since the new system updates were implemented the number of new members as well as upgrades has skyrocketed!

But as usual, rather than simply blowing smoke at you and just creating a bunch of unfounded hype, here are a few statistics that say it all... There are now well over 10,000 members in Leadsomatic™! That's a pretty impressive statistic for any business, but the speed at which Leadsomatic™ has reached that level (with very little promotion) is even more telling. Hundreds and hundreds of high quality premium leads have been generated by Veretekk™ subscribers since 6/1 alone and there are already thousands of dollars in commissions pending for the month of June - and we're not even half way though it!

The reasons why these results are occurring are obvious - Leadsomatic™ offers a simple, straight forward service that anyone can understand - but that also has REAL VALUE... something strangely missing from a lot of online services these days! However, the proof of this value is not shown through the number of sign-up's or upgrades. If you want to evaluate the value of a company or service like Leadsomatic™ you need to look at the cancellation rate. After all, lots of "pump and dump" companies are able to generate a ton of signup's but they still end up fading away quickly because after a month or so of joining, the customers come to see that there is no value and end up canceling their service.

So how about Leadsomatic™? Since the system updates the cancellation rate is less than 12%!!! That is an incredible stat (especially when you consider that a large portion of those members didn't actually cancel, but rather had their credit card declined when the monthly charge was attempted - and will end up correcting their billing information in order to reactivate their account.)

If you haven't figured it out yet, Leadsomatic™ is a powerful tool to help you generate great leads for your business, and get paid a passive income while you do it! You don't even have to spend a penny... that's called the "real thing". Go check it out for yourself. Login to your own Leadsomatic™ back office with your Veretekk™ username and password:

Play around with the system - you'll be impressed with what you find! But then TAKE SOME ACTION... don't just sit there and do whatever you were doing before you got this email. Action with Leadsomatic™ will mean results. It's up to you whether you want to make it all happen.

Picture for a moment an advertisement that you wrote to promote your online business. Imagine this ad going out to 2 Billion Websites on the internet with one push of button. Wouldn't it be amazing if there was a system that could produce this kind of a result? Ad Submission, as a marketing strategy, can be a process. It can be a time consuming task if performed manually. And not all automated systems produce the results an effective marketer desires. Ad Submit with Leadsomatic™ is a whole new success story. This service is accessed through a unique and innovative Profit Portal within the Veretekk™ Lead Generation System. Full access to the Leadsomatic™ ad submission service includes a search engine submission tool, a keyword ranking detection system, and the very powerful automated ad submission to 2 billion websites. All of this can be utilized for only $10.00 per month, which is far less than many competitive services charge. The Hammer™ submission tool that drives Leadsomatic™ is a powerful machine that runs very effectively. It successfully gets the ads placed on all of the 2 billion sites that are listed on the submission page, with one push of a button. Additionally, to entice marketers who like multiple streams of income, the Leadsomatic™ system is profit producing. When a Leadsomatic™ affiliate member refers other savvy marketers, he will receive monthly commissions as long as the memberships stay active. Effective marketers are continuously using various methods of marketing in order to achieve optimal results for increasing business. Ad submission is one marketing tool, and the Leadsomatic™ brand of ad submission is the choice that delivers results.

Dear Tom and Mike, So many times things appear to be more difficult than they really are. When I went to the Leadsomatic™ portal and began to use it I was blown away by the simplicity of how it worked. I was able to use it and found it to be very effective. My daughter says "If I can understand it then it must be simple", I think she is joking, but its true. Referencing the old saying "Give a man a fish and he will eat today, but teach a man to fish and he will eat forever". You both are teaching people to fish and the complete Veretekk™ system is the Rod, Reel, and Bait. Keep up the great work. I am proud to be a member of Veretekk™.

15. 2007-06-08 Leadsomatic Goes Big, Advanced HTML Trainings!


The new Hammer has been released
Leadsomatic leads the way!

You can literal place billions of ads with the Hammer! With no limits on how many times you submit, you can quickly produce billions of ads across the Internet....With the largest database of sites and places to submit ads, Leadsomatic dominates the ad submission market place.....

Thousands are addicted to The Hammer™! We know... it's a pretty cool feature. But as with everything in Veretekk™, when we see ways to improve the system we go for it! The Hammer™ has undergone some significant upgrades. We have delivered some really powerful improvements. Here are some of them:

1) More websites and systems have been added to the submission database!
2) New steps/functionality have been added to The Hammer™ mechanism!
3) More submissions will work, and more CPT leads will be created!

And for those paying attention, can you guess what else has happened? That's right, Leadsomatic™ has also been upgraded! More leads, more results, more profit... That's what this is all about!
 




Leadsomatic™ - The Explosion Has Begun!!!
Here Come The Initial Results...

As expected, the Hammer updates to Leadsomatic™ have started an avalanche of activity... new signups and upgrades like never before!!! Many of you are already well aware of this as you are watching leads pour into your system from promoting your Leadsomatic™ portal.

Since the system upgrades to Leadsomatic™ on 6/1/07 there have already been 100's of new member signups! These numbers will continue to grow. How many of these Premium Leads will you generate for your business??? It's all up to you - take action and start promoting your portal!

What about upgrades, commissions, and residual income? Since the updates less than a week ago over 70 people have upgraded to a paid membership! That represents $100's more each and every month in commissions to Veretekk subscribers... getting paid to do nothing more than generate leads for your own business!

But the second wave of Leadsomatic™ has just begun. Don't miss out on this one. You can sit back and watch or jump in and profit. It's all up to you... (Did we mention that this costs you nothing?!?!) We will bring you more statistics next week, but it's a good bet things are only going to grow!

Portal education by the Architect!
Once a week Thomas Prendergast explores another Traffic Portal

Veretekk™ has many traffic portals. "What the heck are traffic portals? What do they do anyway? How do I promoe them?". you ask?

Each week I will pick a unique portal, explain what it does, why it was built and show you the tools Veretekk™ has built into the system to help you promote it. Each week a different portal will be addressed.
 




The popular beginners HTML class is back by Thomas Prendergast
This is a very popular class. Come early!

This class is for all. Knowing a little HTML is a good thing. It is the language of the Internet.

I will concentrate on teaching you very basic code so you can easily make nicely designed HTML letter or simple pages.
 




Advanced HTML
Requested from my advanced basic students.
Starts at 5pm PST

OK, you have been after me to take my HTML knowledge to another level. Alright already, come see me and I will show you all kinds of cool tips. Forms, CSS DIVISIONAL tags, coloring scroll bars, etc.

If you are new to HTML come on in anyway. You never know what you might learn.
 





Calling All Trainers
Weekly meetings have been posted in the calendar.

These meetings are for all of the trainers to address needs, ideas, etc. to make a better training environment. I will also orientate new trainers as needed.

See you there. This meeting is only for trainers and the times are posted in the Veretekk™ calendar.
 




The Truth Is Obvious!
People Simply Love Veretekk™...
I am brand new with Veretekk™ and upgraded to gold almost immediately yesterday and today attended two training sessions by Mr Lorne Timchuk - which was fabulous and made at least part of the system very clear... the system is expansive to say the least but i can already see the power... well done Veretekk™ you are superb!

Blind Success? This week actually marks the end of my first year in Veretekk™. It was last January when I heard and joined this amazing system. Quite honestly I had no clue what it was going to do for me... or what HTML even meant. After going to classes, setting things up (some), and being taught some amazing things like basic HTML (which by the way means Hyper Text something ... smiles - it seems you don't even need to know!) I decided to take a leap and take what I have newly learned and put my passion for Personal Development online to share with the world. Now sorry to make this long but to step back a bit... I was born visually impaired... not to get your sympathy... but to instill within you the idea that if I can succeed at this anyone can. You see due to my vision no one would hire me even with a 4 year degree. So 10 years ago next month I hired myself and have not looked back...

Now here I find myself with one year of Veretekk™ under my belt and quite honestly I was wondering if it was working for me. I even went the entire month of October with no computer and in the middle of a move to a new home. Feeling a bit behind and having to reset up my computer, I did a search on the web for my keywords, Personal Development Success, and low and behold I found my simple site right there in the #2 spot hugged between 2 of the BIG dogs. Woo HOO! I literally fell over not expecting this - I was just checking out the competition! Just imagine what more I will be able to do once I learn the other 99% of the stuff Veretekk™ has to teach me... grin. Super big HUGS to you Tom and Mike and the rest of you who helped me reach this SUCCESS! Expect Miracles...

16. 2007-05-25 Leadsomatic Pumping Up...


Leadsomatic™ - New Hammer Will Launch June 1, 2006!!!
Hang On Because The Upgrades Are Complete!

As we reported in last week's Bully Pulpit, the numbers for Leadsomatic™ have told the story since it's worldwide launch last September. This Profit Portal has proven to be an exceptional generator of Premium Leads for Veretekk subscribers, but better yet has also created solid residual income streams at the same time!

Leadsomatic™ is about to get a steroid injection!!!

The new upgrade will transform The Hammer™ into a more powerful version than it has ever been! The database has been updated to include new systems and websites to post your ads to and now runs completely on a SQL-driven back end (for all you non-techies, that means the software will function even faster and better than it did before!) But one of the biggest things that is making a difference in causing HUGE results is the return of...

The Email Verification Function!

This allows subscribers to verify their email address into the various email validation systems before blasting your ad out with The Hammer™ submission tool. Since a lot of the websites and systems that Leadsomatic™ submits to use these email validation systems, your ads will get published to more and more websites!

So Veretekk subscribers, this is your final advance notice...

This is your last chance to get ahead of the curve... The upgrade to Leadsomatic™ will officially occur on June 1, 2007. Starting next week we will begin a series of widespread marketing campaigns to all of the existing Leadsomatic™ members and beyond. Now is the time to position yourself in front of the wave. Start promoting this new launch and your personal Leadsomatic™ portal everywhere you can, and watch the results roll in!
 


The Call Continues!
Do You Have What It Takes?

Since announcing the call for Master Distributors last week, we have been inundated with applicants! This is very good. We welcome any/all of you who believe you have what it takes to be part of this special team. What does it take? Simple... while it's great if you have a strong track record of Internet success, have built very large successful online businesses, and have a large sphere of influence - it's much more important that you have the drive and motivation needed to be successful.

What the heck does that mean?

Most people are not successful in online business. It's an obvious reality. What's not so obvious are the reasons why. The fact is that most people will never be successful - not because they don't know what they need to do... it's because they are not willing to buckle down AND DO IT! Success is not easy. It requires hard work and daily dedication to your business. However, for those that are willing to put in the time and effort... those who want it so bad they can taste it... then the only thing missing is the "magic formula" to make all that hard work translate into success.

Well that's where becoming a Master Distributor comes in. This is a group people that will be working together to follow a proven process of creating a successful business. There will be expertise in this group. However, those without the prior experience will quickly learn the ropes and be taught the tips and tricks that add up to a profitable business. Leadsomatic™ is not the first, nor the last Profit Portal that a Master Distributor program has been developed for. As with all the rest, this new group will be successful - the numbers show clearly that failure is not an option. The question is, if you are interested in becoming a Master Distributor, are you willing to make the commitment necessary to be successful?

Think you are? Contact us and make your case. We will be holding some closed door meetings in the near future to start the process of formalizing this group. We will accept as many people as we feel are the real deal. In the end, few will make the final cut. It all comes down to your dedication and work ethic - do you have it in you to be successful?
 


17. 2007-05-18 Leadsomatic Upgrades Coming!


Major Leadsomatic™ Upgrades Are Coming!!!
More Effective... More Results... More Money!

Since it's official worldwide launch on September 1, 2006, memberships in Leadsomatic™ have exploded! Not surprisingly there have been more and more new sign-ups each and every month. Plus, there has been a huge percentage of free members that have upgraded to the full/paid membership for just $10/month. In fact, more people have upgraded than have cancelled every single month since the system was launched! All of this can mean just one thing...

Leadsomatic™ is the real deal... and it's here to stay!

We have some exciting news to share with you, but before we do... in the interest of full disclosure, here are the recent statistics for Leadsomatic™. As always, we feel it's important to share the actual numbers with you in order for you to be able to make an informed business decision. As you will see, there is money to be made with Leadsomatic™ - as of the date of this email:

9,818 new Leadsomatic™ members
2,588 members have upgraded
That is a massive 26% upgrade rate!!!

Now those are the overall numbers. As you know, there has been no recent corporate promotion of Leadsomatic™ for the past few months. So you might expect the numbers to have dropped off a little, right? Well... not really:

682 new Leadsomatic™ members in April 2007
159 members upgraded in April 2007
That's over 23% upgrading with no corporate marketing or advertising!

What about since the start of May?
877% more people have upgraded than have cancelled!

These are impressive numbers for any business. So why does Leadsomatic™ work so well? It's pretty obvious, really - the system and service is really simple to understand. Users can blast their ads out to websites all over the Internet, as often as they want, with as many different ads as they want, all for just $10/month. The affiliate program is easy to understand too. You get paid $2/person for all upgraded members that signed up through your website, plus a percentage of the Profit Pool each and every month. So you might wonder about how much value the Profit Pool has added?

The Leadsomatic™ Profit Pool for April 2007 was $1413.00
There were 471 shares for April 2007
That equals a value of $3/share for April 2007
When added to the direct $2/member commission that's $5/member!

You can do the math. With just 2 upgrades your own paid membership is paid for!!! This is why Leadsomatic™ just continues to explode. It's a straight forward service that has real value that's obvious to anyone that looks at it... plus it pays out good money. Simple and lucrative - that's a great combination!

But Hang On... Here Is The BIG NEWS!

The massive upgrade of The Hammer (which is the submission engine that runs Leadsomatic™) is now complete! That's right, it's totally done and tested... just sitting there waiting to be activated! The new Hammer is totally database driven which means it can submit to even more websites than every before, much faster than it ever has! Plus a new function has been added to EMAIL VERIFY before you blast out your ad! This single component has increased results many 100%'s as it allows you to verify your email address with the various 3rd party validation systems before you blast out your ad to all of the websites (some of which subscribe to these validation services). Bottom line is that you will see a stream of email and activity each time you process your submissions - like never before!



So When Does The New System Get Activated?!?

Very soon. We are giving you, the Veretekk™ subscribers, the advance heads up to give you the opportunity to get positioned to capitalize on the new upgrades. If you have not taken a close look at Leadsomatic™, now is the time. You may be missing out on a great lead generation tool... or worse yet, missing out on a solid passive income stream!

So climb aboard and hang on. Leadsomatic™ is about to fire off the booster rockets!
 


Calling For Master Distributors!
Leadsomatic™ Is About To Start Moving...

We are now accepting applicants to become Master Distributors (MD) for the Leadsomatic™ business opportunity. Normally this occurs at the time of the initial company launch. However, with Leadsomatic™ we felt it was important to delay the establishment of this group, knowing that this big upgrade would occur within the first year. As a result, this is a great Master Distributor opportunity - i.e. Leadsomatic™ has proven itself to be a safe bet! Unlike other companies who call for Master Distributors prior to launching the system, with Leadsomatic™ there's no risk of the company never launching... or the service/product failing. This is your chance to become a Master Distributor for a business that is already proven and succeeding!!!

So What's Involved With Being A Master Distributor?

We are looking for a small group of highly motivated people. We recognize that most Veretekk™ subscribers already have a primary business they are using the system to promote - this is not for you. However, if you are currently looking for a new business to promote, or are between primary businesses and are as excited about the new Leadsomatic™ system as we are, we want to hear from you!

Leadsomatic™, while a very valuable and useful product, is also a complete business opportunity. Becoming a Master Distributor is a serious commitment, but one that offers serious potential rewards. If you are interested in aggressively promoting Leadsomatic™ as your primary business and are motivated to go the extra distance to organize and facilitate web conferences, training sessions, etc. you may have what it takes to become a Master Distributor.

Master Distributors work directly with the company. They are part of the "inner circle" of Leadsomatic™ and are privy to company information and upcoming features and events not available to general members. Master Distributors form a top tier advisory committee and high level focus group for the company that assists with long term strategic planning, the prioritization of new system developments and engineering, and planning of special events. They are expected to manage their own Leadsomatic™ leadership team and tightly coordinate and manage the daily/weekly web conferences in the Leadsomatic™ Community Room (coming soon).

If you are ready and able to make the commitment, the benefits of becoming a Master Distributor are significant. In addition to increased corporate access, you will have access to closed door strategic marketing meetings, special marketing/sales tools in advance of general members, as well as having new members that sign up on the root level website placed in your Leadsomatic™ downline.

If you are interested in becoming a Leadsomatic™ Master Distributor, please Skpye Tom Prendergast () a brief outline for why you should be considered as well as your background/experience, previous successes, and evidence of leadership abilities. If you are not already an experienced leader you will need to provide additional information to make your case. Over the coming 1-2 weeks we will be holding one or more private meetings with Master Distributors and their personal leadership teams to coordinate for the official launch of the upgraded system.
 


Thomas Prendergast returns...
Weekly training from the CEO!

I am frustrated. I am sure many of you have felt this from me. Why? Because, Veretekk is a world-class application. It stands head and shoulders above the MLM industry. It does what it says and says what it does. It gives much more value than we charge for it.

Many people seeking to build their own business and future are looking for an easy push button solution that does not exist. The same mindset causes these people to join and 30-60 days later quit, because they didn't make any money. I hang my head and cry.

Ask yourself. Are you like this in the way you do business? Did Bill Gates (Microsoft) quit because software was so difficult to write? Did Irwin Jacob (Qualcomm) quit because his counselor's told him there was no future in science or engineering? Did Fred Smith (FedEx) quit because he received an F for his business thesis outlining Federal Express?

I never quit! I am frustrated! Why are many in this industry so eager to start and just as eager to quit? Why?

So I am coming back to training. And prepare to have your butt kicked. Starting next weekend you will find me all over the training calendar. And I am glad to be back.

18. 2007-03-30 Major RSS Enhancements, Antarctica Mike Darling Returns!


Leadsomatic Goes Ballistic!!!
Major Updates Coming Soon

We have not reported to you recently about Leadsomatic... but as those of you actively promoting that portal know, it's not because things aren't happening! This powerful Profit Portal continues to generate a massive amount of premium leads each and every day. A number of subscribers have discovered the power of grouping their sequential mailers so that a given Traffic Portal starts to promote Leadsomatic to new prospects... thus leading them down their sales funnel and directly into their business!

Results are results... and the numbers don't lie. Beyond basic lead generation Leadsomatic has consistently had a huge number of upgrades to the paid service each month since it was launched. Of course each time someone upgrades it means a Veretekk subscriber gets paid a commission! That's what Profit Portals are all about...

As you know, we like to make things as transparent as possible - so that you can evaluate the real results of each Profit Portal for yourself and determine how much effort you want to focus on that income stream. Well, as you know Inetekk has done virtually NOTHING to promote Leadsomatic for the past few months... but, just looking at the numbers since the start of March over 25% of free members have upgraded to the paid service! Guys, that is a HUGE conversion percentage for ANY business!!! But what about cancellations you may ask? During the same time period there have been 5.3 times as many people that have upgraded than have cancelled. Again... these are phenomenal statistics! If you are not enjoying a massive influx of premium leads from Leadsomatic and/or seeing a slowly rising stable residual income, you need to take a closer look at what you are missing with Leadsomatic!

Okay, on to the real news... In the near future Leadsomatic will undergo a major update. There will be some new and improved features. The effectiveness and value of the system will increase even further. It will generate even more leads. The numbers don't lie, which means it will generate even more commissions for Veretekk subscribers (silver or gold!)

This notice is just a teaser. You will see more in the coming weeks as the dates become finalized. Now is the time to contact your team and start organizing. You do not want to miss the next wave with Leadsomatic!

An always popular (and fun!) tool to use, upgrades to The Drill have now been completed in order to weed out the occasional 404 or DNS error associated with the old system. You can now drill away to your heart's content and all of your posts, and the daisy chain of links between them will function as they should!

Drill away...!
 


New BlogFather Enhancements!
Edit Function For Posts Now Active...

The first in a long list of upgrades and enhancements scheduled for the BlogFather system is complete. Users now have the ability to edit and/or delete their previously posted blog entries through the BlogFather back office! In delivering this function some technical improvements were made to the data back end, establishing the needed foundation to start bringing on even more features and functions to the BlogFather system.

Keep an eye out for more things on the way!
 


Veretekk RSS Feed Enhancement!
Edit Function For Posts Now Active...

In adding this functionality to the BlogFather system, it obviously made sense to update the RSS Feeds area within the Communication section of your Veretekk back office as well. Veretekk subscribers now have the ability to edit and/or delete their RSS posts after they have been submitted. There will be a few more additions to this part of the system, but ultimately the bulk of the blogging technology will be installed at BlogFather.net.
 


Mike Darling's Return From Antarctica!
As Promised... Photos And More!

I'd like to thank all of you for your kind words regarding the amazing photos I was able to bring back from Antarctica and the Falkland Islands. The trip was absolutely extraordinary in every possible way. Numerous people have been asking for me to upload photos for people to see. However, I decided to take it a step further. Of the 2000-3000 photos I took I have selected 63 of them as limited edition photographs available for sale. I will be matching the profits personally and all of the money will go to the Save the Albatross Fund by Birds Australia. It's the least I can do to give back for this touching journey.

If you would like more information, check out the press release.

The limited edition photographs are available at www.MikeDarling.com.

If you see something you like, I encourage you to act, and I will match your funds. It's really a great cause!

Sincerely,

Mike Darling

Hello I am so excited! I had my first silver signup today. That might not be exciting to some, but to me it means I am helping someone to be able to grow their business. While I don't have a business I love to be able to help others. The training is excellent and the trainers are so patient with those of us who really have no idea what we are doing. I think it is wonderful what your company is doing and I'm so proud to be a tiny part of it. Thanks again.

Paul Staton, who has been using Talk Shoe for some time.

Folks, this is going to be another historical conference because this conference will be broadcasted live via Talk Shoe.
 


VereCare™ is here.
Hello, how may I help you?

Verecare™ has been in phase one for a week now. Phase one is Inetekk and Veretekk support only from strategic areas in the system, like lost passwords. It has been working great especially with the lost passwords issues.

Pat Hoffman has taken this position on and is doing a great job. Maybe we will hear from her this coming Sunday conference.


What exactly is VereCare™? It is a self-replicating live operator system that allows your visitors to communicate with you live with out downloading any software. As you are working on your computer you will be alerted that someone on your site or in your webcasting room needs assistance. Within seconds you can be communicating or joining your customer live in your Vereconference™ room.

Once you have a VereCare™ account, you will be able to network with other VereCare™ operators and communicate without email or broadcast to your network right from your Desk Top.

Right now VereCare™ is in it's first stage. You will now see it being used for Veretekk™ customer support for lost passwords in the Veretekk™ login areas and for sales and customer support at Inetekk™.

Very soon it will become an integral upgrade feature in paid Vereconference™ rooms and also part of the Veretekk™ Gold system.

Then we will be launching VereCare.com a stand alone Live Operator Profit Portal. So stay tuned.
 


Vanity Responders Update!
Field Test Report

The Vanity autoresponders were getting reports from the subscribers that it was not working. Actually not working for some. So we sent in the field engineers and discovered that in fact it was not working, IF, you had set the autoresponder to send out a custom sequential set. We found the problem and further testing has been successful.

I will be making some comments on how to test the autoresponders and what in fact to expect from them.

One of the best things about Veretekk is that since I joined over 4 months ago, I've never had to pay the subscription price out of my own pocket! Veretekk has consistantly made sales for me so that my own system has been paid for every month....Plus, a little additional income for me! What could be better than that! Thank you Veretekk!

It is said of the game, Backgammon, it only takes a few minutes to learn to play. It takes a lifetime to master. Veretekk isn’t that complex but it keeps on growing and the possibilities with it are exponential. So while the learning curve is sharply upward in the beginning, it levels out like a modern airliner when you reach altitude. If you will invest the time to immerse yourself into the Veretekk culture, the mission of helping others, you will find fulfillment, satisfaction and success in the accomplishment of your chosen goals

I am finding that Gold Members who have been away from the system for a while are coming back. They say it is the New Vereconference that has regained their interest. They are really excited about the many uses and possibilities of the system. I am also finding that the people that are trying out the Vereconference System for the first time are people that are already in business and have a definite vision of how VereConference will help their business. All The Best! Think It, Ink It, Expect It, Accept It, Be Greatful for It, Let Go And Let God!

VereConference™ Up Date!
Vereconference™ interest continues to sore!

Another week and the interest in Vereconference™ continues to sore. I am flying out to Arizona in a week to meet with a large well know MLM company to discuss a large Conference system with them with all the whistles and bells. They called, sent me plane tickets and are putting me up in a nice hotel so they can get moving on a large online training system for their subscribers. It was the Calendar system that sold them.

I heard from another subscriber that a well know radio talk show host, Dr. Laura, is planning on doing her first online Webinar. I have told you all that we are positioned at the very beginning of a huge trend.

The ideas and creative juices are flowing and major players are starting to take notice. There are many competitors for VOIP rooms, but there are none that come close to the price and value of what Vereconference™ offers and delivers. The Value added features like the calendar are proprietary technologies no one else even comes close to having.

If you have stories about your Vereconference™ success bring them to this Sunday's conference. We want to hear them.

Real People With Real Results!
It's difficult to find adequate words to describe my experience with Veretekk™! WOW! I've personally seen firsthand the hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence of both the CEO and the President of this company, as well as it's members and trainers -- there is so much more here than meets the eye -- ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!

I can sincerely say in my 30+ years in direct sales, marketing and advertising, this is unlike anything I've ever known. The more I see and learn, the more I WANT to see and learn. As I interact with the company and the trainers and others in the community ... the empowerment of people here is unparalleled ANYWHERE in this industry. I'm here to stay, and I am on a MISSION to share this with as many people as possible!

It's about time there's a company who just doesn't talk the talk, but actually walks the walk and delivers! Thank you Tom, Mike and everyone in the Veretekk™ community! It's an honor and a privilege to be here with you all.

How long does a person have to spend hard earned money trying to acquire the right tools, and needed exposure, that never works. How much money does a person have to spend before realizing what their doing is not working. It's really surprising how many people are scammed every day, but still they refuse to change for fear of appearing to be a looser.

Not So! What you are is misled, WHY WOULD YOU PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR ADVERTISING? Veretekk™ does it all for you for free. Try it, what do you have to loose, unless you like giving money away, if you like it, upgrade to gold, for even better packages and tools, if you so wish. You will be amazed how quick thing can change in your favor, and put a new positive spin on an otherwise failing situation, don't let pride get in your way.

You can do this, get out to millions, turn your self around, if you haven't noticed everyone on the Internet is trying to sell you something, turn it around and sell back to them, every email you receive is potential money, Veretekk™ has the tools to make this happen, and it's free, or you can just upgrade, either way you can come out a winner. You need to be situated on the inside looking out as opposed to on the outside looking in. everything that you need is here in one place, stop looking. join use, save your money, make money, you can have it all, why settle for less. Thank you

21. 2007-02-10 VereConference, VereTrainer Seals, Mike Darling Antarctica, Veretekk Brain Trust


VereConference™ Picks Up Steam!
Leads And Commissions Are Exploding!

Well the first week of the worldwide re-launch of VereConference™ has come and gone... and not surprisingly, the new Profit Portal is exceeding expectations! Inetekk™ always strives to make any/all pertinent business information, data, and statistics completely transparent for subscribers to see. Why? Simple, because the system really works and the results speak for themselves! We have no interest in create unfounded hype, or simply talking to hear ourselves speak... So, here are the results, plain and simple for you to review!

As with all of the Veretekk™ Traffic Portals, the primary purpose of VereConference™ is to function as a powerful lead generator for your business. In the first week of operation this new portal is showing signs of being on track with some of the most successful Traffic Portals to date! While there has been no formal or official corporate marketing effort (yet), there are already over 450 new VereConference™ room owners in less than a week! Unlike some other Traffic Portals, these leads represent the very highest quality Premium Leads out there. These are real people, who have gone to Veretekk™ subscribers' portals and signed up locally (i.e. no remote submissions), and have then followed through to login and actually use the system for days on end.

The second purpose of all Veretekk™ Profit Portals is for the leads you are developing to actually create an additional (passive/residual) stream of revenue for your business (whatever it may be). Well VereConference™ is quickly excelling in this area as well. In just one week of operation over 180 commissions have already been earned! That's $100's in extra revenue going to Veretekk™ subscribers, simply for generating leads for their own businesses!

Now are you ready for some even bigger news?!?!

With the launch of the new VereConference™ system Inetekk™ has established a direct license to the conferencing software (hence the reason we have been able to improve the user interface, control panel, and traffic portal so substantially). However, one additional side effect of this new business model is that we suddenly find there is a surplus of revenue available from each paid room upgrade/sale. We could have simply added this revenue to Inetekk™'s bottom line, but in keeping with our corporate philosophy that you, our subscriber, should be put first and be the one that benefits from new revenue, we have made some changes.

VereConference™ already offers the lowest prices in the industry. In fact we have gotten so much positive feedback about pricing that we decided that instead of dropping prices too much further, we have increased commissions! And not just a little... boy have we ever increased commissions! The amount varies based on the size of the room sold, but just to pick one example... A 200 person room used to cost $439.95 and has now been reduced to just $400. But the commissions for a 200 person room used to be $88.52 (level 1) and $25.29 (level 2). With the new commission structure it is now $160.00 (level 1) and $40.00 (level 2) - that's a commission increase of almost 100% on both levels!!!

We have also been somewhat surprised to have received quite a number of requests from subscribers to be able to offer larger sized rooms. In fact, a handful of subscribers have reported prospects interested in rooms as large as 1500 or even 2000 people rooms! As a result, we have activated 9 more room size options from 200 seats to 2000 seats to meet this additional market demand. Just pick a vertical market... software sales companies, insurance, real estate, entertainment, education... you name it! People and companies are coming out of the wood work with an interest for this product... Send them to your VereConference™ portal at http://%%username%%.vereconference.com and you'll get paid when they upgrade!

With the activation of the new HIGHER commissions, LOWER room prices, and availability of even larger sized rooms, this new Veretekk™ Profit Portal may prove to be the most powerful and lucrative yet!
 


VereTrainers, Distinguish Yourselves!
New Secure Seal Provides Postive Validation For Trainers...

In addition to world class business and marketing tools, Veretekk™ offers live, hands-on training virtually 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to support both free and paid members worldwide. These personalized training sessions are facilitated by over 100 professional VereTrainers, each specializing in one or more aspects of online marketing, business development, or leadership training.

If you see an image on the web like the one below, you can click on it to instantly verify that person as an accredited VereTrainer.


(Note: inactive sample only.)

They are ethical and professional leaders, motivated and committed to doing their best and offering a quality experience to those who attend the their trainings. Legitimate trainers verified through this system are credible and worthy of your trust. (Report any feedback otherwise to Inetekk.com, Inc. at 858-863-9099. Exceedingly high standards are maintained. Trainers in violation are immediately dismissed.)
 


A Few Thoughts From Inetekk's President, Mike Darling...
Another Dream Come True!

Veretekk™ has been a labor of love for well over a decade. I can't express just how much it means to have been a part of something that has touched so many people, empowering average people to literally change their lives. The ongoing stream of testimonials we receive each and every week truly does inspire me to continue pushing the cutting edge with new innovations and system enhancements every single day. I am touched beyond words at the results so many of you have shared with us over the years and impact the system has had on you and your families. Inetekk™ continues to be a dream come true for me as well - as it provides me a way to put my own personal strengths and gifts to work for you... in order to make a difference in thousands of lives, and just maybe... play a small part in making the world a better place for all of us.

Next week I will strive to fulfill another lifelong dream as I embark on an expedition to Antarctica. I am sharing this with you in this week's Bully Pulpit for 2 reasons. The first is just to let you know that I will be out of the country and unavailable from 2/12 through 3/1. (Sorry, I will be completely "unplugged" for the first time in my adult life as there will be no phone, internet, etc.) So for those of you attempting to contact me during that time, I appreciate your patience and understanding. I will return for the Sunday web conference on 3/4/2007.

The second reason is a little more personal. So many of our subscribers are elated with the results they achieve through Veretekk™ by simply being able to create an additional $100/month, $500/month, $1000/month, etc. or so in passive income to help fund their current lifestyles. However, there are also those that are determined to transcend their current reality and achieve a completely different lifestyle for themselves and their families. It is this group of people I wish to speak directly to... You see, anyone willing to make the personal commitment can achieve incredible results through Veretekk™. A number of our subscribers have done just that and earn significant 4 and 5-figure monthly incomes as a result of using the system. These are people just like you and me. They did not come to Veretekk™ with any special skills or experience. They simply saw what was placed before them and recognized that with hard, dedicated work they could achieve their dreams. Many have done just that - and completely transformed their lives.

I feel it appropriate to pause prior to what will be an amazing 17-day vacation that takes me through some of Earth's most amazing places, and draw attention to the fact that YOU can start living your dreams as well - the moment you make that commitment to yourself and your family! My intention is not to gloat at my own success - quite the opposite. I want to challenge you. Stop wasting time. Stop messing around. Get serious about your life and take control! Decide right now as you are reading this that you have had enough! But most importantly... DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I challenge you to reach for your own potential. You may surprise yourself to find out what you really are capable of. Engage yourself in your business, whatever it may be. Get active! Take advantage of the live, hands on training offered for free from Veretekk - it is here specifically to help your business, no catches! I will be activating a number of new features within Veretekk™ upon my return from The White Continent in March. Several are intended to reduce confusion about "what to do" with the system or "where to start". As we combine this with other easy-to-understand flash training tools the system will take on "simplicity" like never before.

Just remember, "simple" does not mean "easy". You will work harder than you have at anything ever before. But the promise that awaits, like so many others before you, is that if you just follow the "simple" steps with consistency and hard work you will achieve the success you are seeking. My hope is that in the months to follow we can include brief articles in our Bully Pulpits to recognize those subscribers who have transcended their own realty... improved their lifestyle... and are out traveling to the "Antarctica" of their own dreams.

The gauntlet has been thrown down.
Will you accept my challenge?


Sincerely,

Mike Darling, President
Inetekk.com, Inc.
 
 

South America - Are You Ready?
Inetekk™ President Mike Darling To Visit Santiago, Buenos Aires...

As a side note to my comments above, I will be traveling through both Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina as I make my way to/from Antarctica the next couple weeks. For those Veretekk™ subscribers living in or near these areas, let me know if you are available to meet! I always like to make it a point to visit with our members face to face whenever possible, and of course we love and support all of our South American subscribers!

 

Contact me via Skype (missoulamike) prior to 2/12 and let me know.
Hope to see you soon!

Sincerely,

Mike Darling
 


The Much Anticipated Veretekk™ BrainTrust Is Formed!
A "Think Tank" Of Industry Experts, Leaders, And Business Professionals

Almost a year in the works, the Veretekk™ BrainTrust has been established. The concept is simple. Veretekk™ has been widely acknowledged by industry leaders, expert marketers, and business professionals as consistently setting the market standard for best in class marketing technologies and industry leading business building tools. However, in order to have continuously held the system to this standard, for years we have routinely consulted with business leaders to ensure the system continues to stay on the cutting edge.

The feedback and expertise of numerous industry leaders and professionals is now culminated into a "Think Tank" for online business and marketing to aide in the creative process and innovation needed for the ongoing development of Veretekk™. This pool of experience has now been formalized as the Veretekk™ "BrainTrust", providing Inetekk the ability to leverage these great minds, continuously vitalize our creative efforts, and keep the ideals of innovation and ingenuity alive within the development process.

Membership in the BrainTrust is by invitation only. Members are selected for their unique abilities, industry experience, market insight, and proven performance results. Membership is an honor. It supports or increases the credibility of the member and legitimizes their standing as an industry leader. Members have the ability to display a special image bug on their own websites that validates them as a verified BrainTurst member.

As a final note, this is just the beginning of starting this trust. It is designed to provide real value for all Veretekk subscribers. Not everybody will be invited to join. As we move forward we will be contacting certain Veretekk members as well as some non members that have the leadership qualities and industry experience we are looking for. (i.e. long term Gold subscribers, subscribers with significant downlines, popular trainers that pack their rooms, industry leaders, etc.). I think you know what we are looking for. The Veretekk™ BrainTrust will become a Board of Advisors for Veretekk™ among other functions. I am sure as we move forward, this too, will evolve into a major benefit for all Veretekk™ subscribers.


(Note: inactive sample only.)

We are excited to have finally taken the step to formalize the establishment of this important group of individuals. We are confident the mind-sharing it makes possible will benefit each and every Veretekk subscriber!

Real People With Real Results!
I am finding that Veretekk™ Gold Members who have been away from the system for a while are coming back... They say it is the new Vereconference™ system that has regained their interest. They are really excited about the many uses and possibilities of the system. I am also finding that the people that are trying out the Vereconference™ system for the first time are people that are already in business and have a definite vision of how VereConference™ will help their business. All The Best!

Oh my, Veretekk™ is definitely the answer to my problems. I'm sure many of you internet marketers and home business owners can relate. I found the greatest home business in the internet with the best product but there were no takers. I realized that I need to find a way to put this information to several qualified prospects. The trainers in Veretekk™ not only helped me learn this crucial technique in a short amount of time but I've been able to get my message across to prospects who recognize my name. Say goodbye to rejection with Veretekk™!

22. 2007-01-31 VereConference Worldwide Release Is Here!


VereConference™ Worldwide Re-Release Is Here!!!
Prepare To Be Blown Away... February 1, 2007!

One thing about Veretekk™ that I cherish, when they promise, they deliver. Always. Commissions are always on time and accurate. And now, they are about to deliver big on another promise.
Butch Hamilton SEO

Vereconference™ is ready. Sometime today, February 01, 2007, exactly 2 years from launching the Veretekk™ affiliate pre-launch, Vereconference™ will go live.

This isn't any ordinary promise and delivery either. Although the pricing and commissions are unchanged, that is the only thing that has not been overhauled and improved, and this is an understatement.

The conference room will have that familiar feel the previous conference room had, but with major new innovations. Primarily, the introduction of the whiteboard and direct upload ability of your PowerPoint presentations. Even the sound quality has been improved. The following features are now part of the Vereconference™ web casting rooms and back office controls:

  • Crystal Clear VoIP Conferencing
  • Synchronized Web Browsing (No more IFRAME issues)
  • Integrated Whiteboard (laser pointer, annotated notes, colored markers, copy and paste)
  • Presentation Publishing (PowerPoint, OpenDocument)
  • One-Click Web Page Annotation
  • Presentation Recording (slides, audio, whiteboard, text)
  • Cross Platform (Windows, Mac OS X)
  • Customizable Login Page
  • Brandable user interface: Your Logo and program icon
  • Massively Scalable (1000's of participants in a single room)
  • Instant text messaging with searchable text log
  • Multi-Lingual
  • Firewall & proxy server friendly
  • Professionally designed intuitive back office control panel.
  • Integrated Browser Favorites
  • Configurable window layout and color scheme
  • Individual user accounts and passwords
  • Extensive moderator controls
  • Texting area
  • Integrated Live Helper from your Desktop (coming soon)
  • RSS feed capability

    Fully staffed with expert Vereconference™ trainers available every day to help you learn the many features and tools. The Veretrainers™ will also help youlearn how to market your rooms and show you how to use them to build your businesses.

    Vereconference™ has been rebuilt from the ground up. Now you can give away 3 room Accounts instead of 2. You can upgrade, down grade or cancel whenever you want. No long term contracts. You have your own customizable calendar built right into your room and controlled from your back office. Your login page can be completely customized by you too. When we finish the room doorbell, it will ring your desktop when someone enters your conference room. This live helper feature can be used as a support chat function for visitors on any of your websites right to your desk top. It allows live chatting, the pushing of web pages as well as transferring the call to someone on your team, a fully integrated support management function.

    Our support staff will be around every day to help you utilize all of these benefits. Better yet, why don't you just go see for yourself.

    What you will see is Veretekk™ over delivering again on our promise. From Inetekk™ the company you have learned to trust.

    The God Father Mentors
    Walking on Water or Walking on Fire.
    This Saturday at 4pm PST


    I have been curious as to why so many think walking on fire develops success. When in fact, little mention if any is found in the Bible in this regard. However, there are over 100 passages in the Bible about walking on water. Water plays very crucial roles throughout the entire Bible. So does fire.

    I have learned that fire consumes and water heals. But then, being a surfer, I am a bit prejudiced towards water. And I believe the answer to this perplexing riddle lies right in the very center of the Bible.

    Curious, is it not?

    Be on time. Pay attention. Discover your who!




    Back to Basic HTML
    Bring your problem sites.
    Starts at 5pm PST

    With the introduction of the white board in our new Vereconference™ system, I want to show you where your HTML is causing you issues. This is an experiment I believe will produce great results.

    If you are new to HTML come on in anyway. You never know what you might learn.
     




    The Verdict Is In, And The People Have Spoken!
    Veretekkechnology™ Dominates Online Marketing...
    I signed as silver member when I first saw the Veretekk™ system, but did not have the funds to upgrade to gold. I made it my goal to upgrade. I saw the potential.

    This System is second to none. Tom Prendergast takes things to new levels with every new portal that opens. They offer every thing that an online / off line Marketer or business person could ever want for. The cost is affordable to ALL. Something I did not realize at first. I was paying out for numerous tools individually for my online work, not realizing that all I needed was the ones that are included within the system.

    The Support that I received from my upline and his upline has been fantastic. We are all one happy family, all working for the good of all. ALSO Tom and Mike are always on the look out for the latest new inventions, (that is if they have not thought of it first)

    Thanks VERETEKK™ we love you!

    I've been pondering what Veretekk™ has meant to me over the last few years. I have learned so many things and my knowledge has grown in so many ways and all because of my affiliation with Veretekk™.

    For eight years I struggled on the internet trying to learn the things I needed to know to be successful. That was a long hard road and I spent thousands of dollars trying to find the "one" thing that would open the door and finally unlock the secrets to success. Many so called mentors and guru marketers promised the keys to unlock the secrets to success but never delivered.

    I spent a lot money and time to find those keys only to end up frustrated and feeling inadequate because it just never happened for me the way they said it would. I read the books, attended the trainings and seminars and tried to implement what I had learned with very limited success. The companies or programs just never delivered what they promised. Some suddenly went out of business and most just disappeared into the cyberspace void I guess.

    When my best friend Peggy and I joined a business that offered the basic Veretekk™ system to do our marketing with, I was really skeptical. I used the free tools that came with the business opportunity but really didn’t have any interest in paying out more money for another “tool”. I was about ready to give up on internet marketing if this business didn’t pan out. Peggy, who is a bit of a visionary, convinced me (actually she twisted my arm – Thanks Peggy) to come with her to one of ‘Tom Prendergast’s’ free training sessions on how to market on the internet.

    It was clear from that very first training, Tom, that you were different. There was NO ‘hype’, NO hard sell and NO intimidation or threats of “losing if I didn’t buy right now.” So many companies then and now use fear of loss marketing strategies to get people to buy the hype and the promise and then rarely deliver the promise.

    So with my skepticism “tucked away in my pocket” but definitely not gone, I decided to give it a try. There was no affiliate program, just a good marketing system and great training on how to use the tools at hand to successfully market on the internet. There was a small fee to use the tools but the basics and training has ALWAYS been free!

    I am in awe of how much Veretekk™ has grown and changed over the last 2 years since you offered the Veretekk™ Affiliate Marketing Program. I now have access to some of the best marketing tools on the internet today, LIVE daily training on a variety of marketing topics, customizable lead generating portals, SPAM FREE email database, customized conference rooms, and multiple income generating tools and so much more!

    You and Mike Darling, never cease to amaze me! Veretekk™ just keeps getting better and better all the time. The “small fee” to use the tools has never changed and the training is still free! Thanks so much for being there Tom and Mike. Your commitment to helping people achieve success is evident in everything you do. You embody the concept of “faith based marketing” and cooperative growth. I am truly blessed to have found Veretekk™.

    I wanted to take a few moments to say how thankful I am to have found Veretekk™ almost 2 years ago. When I first found Veretekk™ I was at a crossroads in my online business. I had built a large customer base of people who were ordering products month after month, but I was essentially in business by myself.

    I started going to the Veretekk™ online conferences and it was like I had found a little community of people who were online marketers just like me. I attended classes and learned how to use the system, then found many more ways to market online.

    I soon became a trainer teaching my skills too. In a sense Veretekk™ is much like a university for online business people. I'm still pretty novice at html code and using tools such as Photoshop, but I'm confident that if I keep attending trainings I will master those skills too. Heck I even put my first "iframe" into a website yesterday.

    Thanks again Tom and Mike for creating an awesome community in Veretekk™.

    I just want to say a word of thanks to Tom Prendergast.

    You have a gift, and with that gift you empower people, and give them the training and resources to be successful. You teach people to believe in them selves and keep on going when the going gets tough. I’m blessed to have found veretekk™.

  • 23. 2007-01-26 VereConference Pre-Release!


    VereConference™ Worldwide Re-Release Is Coming!!!
    Prepare To Be Blown Away... February 1, 2007!

    Well folks... we told you there would be a few changes, and we have outdone ourselves again! Your new VereConference™ Profit Portal is going to exceed your expectations like you have never even dreamed of! Fully upgraded to the newest software version, offering numerous enhanced features/functions, bundled with a powerful and intuitive back office, offering MORE value than ever before, and still including a very lucrative affiliate program to put money in your pocket while you focus on building your primary business!

    The list of improvements is far too long to attempt to include here, but the following are a few highlights:

  • Unlimited FREE rooms for 3 people... not 2 people!
  • Feature rich White board including website screen capture
  • Simple, intuitive, easy-to-use control panel for your room
  • New emoticons! And new text color options!
  • Full support for IFRAMES! (no more having to click the green "back" button!)
  • Lowest cost in the industry
  • Highest commissions in the industry


  • All from Inetekk, Inc. - the company you've come to trust!

    Get the point?!? The new system is so hot it's on fire! And it will help light off your business as well... This Sunday during the 6pm PST web conference we will be providing a comprehensive sneak peak to everyone that's there. Although the new Profit Portal will not go live until 2/1/07, we will take you behind the curtain to see all the bells and whistles! Start calling your team and get them all there! You don't want to miss this one...
     


    Call VereConference™ Trainers!
    The Best Gift Is Teaching Others...

    As with each Profit Portal, we are looking for Veretekk members interested in becoming a VereTrainer for that specific portal. In the case of VereConference™, trainers will focus on the features and functionality of the rooms and back office control panel as well as be able to discuss the VereConference™ affiliate program. We are currently updating the mechanism and process to become a VereTrainer and plan to announce the new system next week. In the mean time, if you are interested in becoming a trainer for the VereConference™ system, please join us this Sunday for the web conference and stand by for more information on how to volunteer!
     


    Calling For Master Distributors!
    Is It The Right Place And Right Time For You?

    With the worldwide launch of the new VereConference™ system imminent, we are looking for a small group of highly motivated people interested in becoming a Master Distributor. We recognize that most Veretekk subscribers already have a primary business they are using the system to promote - this is not for you. However, if you are currently looking for a new business to promote, or are between primary businesses and are as excited about the new VereConference™ system as we are, we want to hear from you!

    VereConference™, while a very valuable and useful product, is also a complete business opportunity. Becoming a Master Distributor is a serious commitment, but one that offers serious potential rewards. If you are interested in aggressively promoting VereConference™ as your primary business and are motivated to go the extra distance to organize and facilitate web conferences, training sessions, etc. you may have what it takes to become a Master Distributor.

    Master Distributors are front line to the company. They are part of the "inner circle" of VereConference™ and are privy to company information and upcoming features and events not available to general members. Master Distributors form a top tier advisory committee and high level focus group for the company that assists with long term strategic planning, the prioritization of new system developments and engineering, and planning of special events. They are expected to manage their own VereConference™ leadership team and tightly coordinate and manage the daily/weekly web conferences in the VereConference™ Community Room.

    If you are ready and able to make the commitment, the benefits of becoming a Master Distributor are significant. In addition to increased corporate access, you will have access to closed door strategic marketing meetings, special marketing/sales tools in advance of general members, as well as having new members that sign up on the root level website placed in your VereConference™ downline.

    If you are interested in becoming a VereConference™ Master Distributor, please Skpye Tom Prendergast () a brief outline for why you should be considered as well as your background/experience, previous successes, and evidence of leadership abilities. If you are not already an experienced leader you will need to provide additional information to make your case. Between Sunday and the official VereConference™ launch on 2/1/07 we will be holding one or more private meetings with Master Distributors and their personal leadership teams to coordinate for the official release.

    24. 2007-01-19 Gold Hammer, eTracking New Databases, Advanced Training


    Major Hammer Updates Now Over 50% Complete!
    New Functionality And Submission To Even More Systems!

    Thousands are addicted to The Hammer™! We know... it's a pretty cool feature. But as with everything in Veretekk™, when we see ways to improve the system we go for it! The Hammer™ is currently undergoing some significant upgrades. While a firm date is not yet established, we are pushing hard to have it released in early February. There are some really powerful improvements happening. We can't give all of the details away just yet, but here are the general improvements:

    1) More websites and systems will be added to the submission database!
    2) New steps/functionality will be added to The Hammer™ mechanism!
    3) More submissions will work, and more CPT leads will be created!

    And for those paying attention, can you guess what will happen next? That's right, Leadsomatic™ has a big upgrade coming too! More leads, more results, more profit... That's what it's all about!
     


    Get Ready For eTracking™ To Explode Your Leads!
    New Database Server Upgrades Nearing Completion

    As you know, eTracking™ (and 1-Family™) have been undergoing some changes. The system has continued to function well, however for the past couple months we had to deactivate the ability to process remote submissions to your eTracking™ portal. As we reported previously, the "problem" was that remote submissions had grown so massive that they were actually starting to affect system performance in other areas of Veretekk™! Obviously we can't have that... BUT... we also wanted to help you leverage the power of remote submissions to your eTracking™ portal.

    We've been kind of quiet about it, but the new eTracking™ databases are nearly complete! In fact, we have partially activated the new system and are in the beta testing stages already. What's this all about? What's it mean? Basically we have isolated the eTracking™ system on to its own unique set of database servers. This new server farm is engineered to provide maximum performance. No matter how large the remote submission volume gets, it will never affect your eTracking™ portal - or any other part of your Veretekk™ system!

    Feel free to start using your eTracking™ portal full throttle. Please report any issues you find during this final stage of beta testing. 1-Family is next... the same powerful set up will be created for remote classified submissions.

    Oh... one side note. Do you realize how unique Veretekk™ is??? Pay attention to the companies you work with - 99.999% of online businesses out there don't even own their own dedicated server! They spend $100/month or so to host their system on a shared server provided by some web hosting company. The few that actually do have their own server try to make a big deal about it. Well... BIG DEAL! Make sure you understand the difference...

    Veretekk™ is made up of 100's of servers - each with its own dedicated purpose. We have entire "server farms" specifically dedicated to handle various system functions. For example, we have a server farm for our main databases. (And now we have a new separate farm specifically for the eTracking™ databases.) There are farms specifically for WWW servers that process and display the webpages you see. There are farms specifically to handle incoming email, others for outgoing email, others for your POP email account. There is an FFAFarm server farm. The list goes on an on... The point is, every aspect of this system is designed with world class engineering standards. Every aspect of the system is also fully redundant (that means we have duplicate servers for every farm!) Anyone can create a company or website that "looks" like the real deal. But make sure you ask them detailed questions about the technology they use before you risk your hard earned money!
     


    VereConference™ Updates Underway
    Sorry For The Disruption!

    As you may know, TTC Global Talk was the company that provided the back end service utilized thorough your VereConference™ Profit Portal. On January 12th Inetekk received formal notice that TTC Global Talk has been sold to another company. As a result of this recent acquisition, some changes are necessary with the VereConference™ system. The new company no longer supports the ability to give away the free 2-person conference rooms. Obviously as this is the critical component of your VereConference™ portal that allows you to generate leads, we are working hard to find a new service provider so that this feature is still available.

    Inetekk was notified on January 17th that as a result of the policy change, the free conference rooms have been deactivated immediately. We apologize to those of you currently using a free room that have been affected. As this change has come rather quickly, we do not currently have a way to prevent this temporary loss of service. Please bear with us. We anticipate the ability to fully reactivate your VereConference™ portal including the ability to give away free rooms on February 1, 2007.

    All paid rooms purchased through the VereConference™ system should continue to function as normal through February 1st. At that time we will notify you of the options available.
     


    The Art of Mentoring!
    Mentoring is my calling!
    Starts this Saturday at 4pm PST


    What makes one person a dynamic performer and another a mediocre player? It has nothing to do with talent, upbringing, race, or income bracket. It has to do with a seed. A seed in you that lives with a nagging feeling that you could be something more than what you have settled for.

    Veretekk attracts people like you because you have that seed. Some of you have a dormant seed. Others have a sprouted seed. Still others are becoming massive red wood trees.

    I know what it is that wakes you up and puts fire in your belly. I will be sharing this with you this Saturday at 4pm in the Gold Conference room.

    I will have two of my personally mentored victims as guests at this training ;^). One, a young man who spent several years in jail, is a recovering drug addict, and an incredible artist and musician. Today I am proud to call him my friend. He gets it. Look out world, here comes Clarke Kujawa. The kid is on fire!

    Another friend who I just started mentoring less than two weeks ago has already turned her poor me, mlm junky, pathetic life around. God laid a lesson on her and the next day with a little help she got it and has turned her life around 180 degrees.

    Look folks, you don't need to spend 1,000s of dollars to lay the foundation in your life to become very successful. I have never taken or paid for any type of mind altering mentoring from anyone to learn what it takes to succeed.

    I will clearly illustrate every step you need to take, so you can pursue and achieve your dreams, by helping you lay the rock solid foundation, that guaranties, you will reach those dreams!

    Be on time. Pay attention. Know your why!




    Advanced HTML
    Requested from my advanced basic students.
    Starts at 5pm PST

    OK, you have been after me to take my HTML knowledge to another level. Alright already, come see me at 4pm this Saturday and I will show you all kinds of cool tips. Forms, CSS DIVISIONAL tags, coloring scroll bars, etc.

    If you are new to HTML come on in anyway. You never know what you might learn.
     


    Is Your Site Lost on the Web?
    SEO...Search Engine Optimization for the little guys
    Starts at 6pm PST

    We are also going to have a ton of SEO training this Saturday as well. Butch Hamilton will be sharing his wealth of information along with Tom Prendergast.

    Starts right after the MENTORING class at 5pm PST and will run for 2 hours. Keyword search, back links, rss feads, the works! Do not miss this! 
     




    The Truth Is Obvious!
    People Simply Love Veretekk™...
    I am brand new with Veretekk™ and upgraded to gold almost immediately yesterday and today attended two training sessions by Mr Lorne Timchuk - which was fabulous and made at least part of the system very clear... the system is expansive to say the least but i can already see the power... well done Veretekk™ you are superb!

    Blind Success? This week actually marks the end of my first year in Veretekk™. It was last January when I heard and joined this amazing system. Quite honestly I had no clue what it was going to do for me... or what HTML even meant. After going to classes, setting things up (some), and being taught some amazing things like basic HTML (which by the way means Hyper Text something ... smiles - it seems you don't even need to know!) I decided to take a leap and take what I have newly learned and put my passion for Personal Development online to share with the world. Now sorry to make this long but to step back a bit... I was born visually impaired... not to get your sympathy... but to instill within you the idea that if I can succeed at this anyone can. You see due to my vision no one would hire me even with a 4 year degree. So 10 years ago next month I hired myself and have not looked back...

    Now here I find myself with one year of Veretekk™ under my belt and quite honestly I was wondering if it was working for me. I even went the entire month of October with no computer and in the middle of a move to a new home. Feeling a bit behind and having to reset up my computer, I did a search on the web for my keywords, Personal Development Success, and low and behold I found my simple site right there in the #2 spot hugged between 2 of the BIG dogs. Woo HOO! I literally fell over not expecting this - I was just checking out the competition! Just imagine what more I will be able to do once I learn the other 99% of the stuff Veretekk™ has to teach me... grin. Super big HUGS to you Tom and Mike and the rest of you who helped me reach this SUCCESS! Expect Miracles...

    Congratlations To Tim Romero!
    Another Veretekk™ Success Story...

    Over the years Veretekk™ has been the launching pad for numerous successful individuals and companies. So often people have grown personally, professionally, and financially as a result of their affiliation with Veretekk™. While most subscribers derive benefits from Veretekk™ by using the system directly in order to grow their primary business, others have used the system as a way to branch out and enjoy the indirect value it offers as well. For example, there are subscribers who have gone out and created their very own search engine optimization company - based on the what they have learned here. Others have benefited from the wonderful community and family of Veretekk™ members, and in so doing have expanded their personal sphere of influence and expanded their businesses!

    We want to wish Tim a very sincere congratulations for the sale of TTC Global Talk! We are pleased to have been able to draw exposure to his business through its affiliation with Veretekk™ this past year. As many of you know, Tim has always sought to maintain a direct connection with customers, and in doing so been attentive to market needs. We are happy that the culmination of working with Veretekk™ helped to lead to the eventual successful sale of his company! We wish Tim and the new owners the very best, and are excited for them as they continue with the pursuits of their dreams.

    We have also appreciated Tim as one of our many selfless VereTrainers - all of which volunteer a portion of their time to teaching other Veretekk™ members. While Tim may understandably be busy working on new projects for the future, we hope (as we do with all our VereTrainers that must move on from active participation in our training programs) that he will find time occasionally to participate in web conferences and of course will remain a part of the broader Veretekk™ family of subscribers. Given the special nature of the relationship with this particular VereTrainer, we wanted to pause to include these comments in this week's Bully. Thank you Tim, for everything!
     


    25. 2007-01-05 Veretekk RSS Feeds, BlogFather, and Leadsomatic!


    Powerful RSS Feed Publishing Technology!
    Now An Integrated Part Of Your Veretekk System...

    Veretekk added the ability to include RSS Feeds in your Traffic Portals early last year, but now another major milestone has been reached. As a part of the Veretekk Gold system you now have the ability to create and publish your own RSS Feeds! This type of tool is available elsewhere at a cost of $29-$49/month... now it's a part of your existing system at no additional cost!!!

    But that's just the beginning... As always, we figure... there's no sense in adding something that you can get elsewhere. We might as well dramatically increase the value of the tool itself! Like all software of this type, your Veretekk RSS feed includes links and images that allow you to have it syndicated by other people. i.e. They can subscribe to your feed and have the content show up on their website, cell phone, iPod, etc. But in addition to this you can easily configure your Veretekk RSS feed to show up on any/all of your Traffic Portals! This "One Click Syndication" allows you to update dozens of websites and feeds instantly!

    The impact of this is staggering. And it's about a lot more than just making the content show up on your Traffic Portals. This is a serious SEO marketing tool for the professional online marketer. The best part is, it's incredibly simple to understand and use! Just get on the SEO trainings for the details...

    So, for those of you having to waste money on other RSS Feed publishing tools, first please accept our apology for not delivering this to you faster! And second, please accept this gift and put that money back in your pocket... for your business... WHERE IT BELONGS.

    To access your Veretekk RSS feed go to the COMMUNICATION section of your back office and click RSS FEED.
     


    The World's First Self-Replicating Blog System Is Here!!!
    Provides You Power SEO Techniques, And Direct RSS Feed Publishing...

    As if the new Veretekk RSS feed wasn't enough, we decided to go ahead and blow the lid off the entire industry by launching your newest Traffic Portal - BlogFather.net: the world's first self-replicating blog system! This portal is going to BLOW YOUR MIND. If you are unfamiliar with the whole concept of a weblog (aka Blog), it's actually a simple concept. Blogs are basically the same as a personal online diary or webpage, except they are written in a language (XML) that allows the contents to be read and displayed in other places.

    Blogs have become an important component on the Internet. Millions of people and businesses worldwide use them for a myriad of purposes. They can also serve as a powerful tool to online marketers - both for publishing information to subscribers, but also for increase website traffic, getting a higher ranking in the search engines, and more. With BlogFather you now have the ability to give away personal Blogs to prospects for free!

    But here's the twist... Your new Veretekk RSS feed actually publishes to the BlogFather system! So in effect you have your very own personal Blog system as well!

    BlogFather is a very special type of system, and the first of its kind. Each Blog created is classified into a Channel (similar to a category) so that visitors to the site can search through millions of Blogs very much the same way you would search through an online forum or even a search engine. As a result, the contents on this traffic portal are changing constantly. This design will make BlogFather.net and the Blogs it contains rank very high in the search engines! You have just been handed another "Unfair Advantage" from Veretekk!


    http://%%username%%.blogfather.net


    Note: There will be a LOT of enhancements to the BlogFather system in the coming weeks and months. Please post your suggestions in the Veretekk forum. What you see today is just the beginning...
     


    MAJOR Leadsomatic Updates Are Coming!!!
    The Hammer Is About To Enter A Growth Squirt...

    Congratulations to those of you who have already established a solid residule income promoting Leadsomatic! As we have been focused on a number of new projects the past couple months we have not provided any status updates on Leadsomatic, but... membership and commissions continue to soar!!!

    It has now been 4 months since the official worldwide launch of the system and we are happy to report that both new memberships and paid upgrades have continued to grow exponentially! A number of people have made Leadsomatic their primary business and are starting to see the fruits of their labor! In such a small period of time many subscribers have already established stable, ongoing revenue streams of $100's per month! All that for a simple $10 and a little consist effort!

    Well, we have more good news on the way... In fact, we have a MAJOR announcement coming about Leadsomatic. It is currently undergoing a serious upgrade that is going to explode the value and potential it can offer you - both for lead generation and additional monthly revenue. This announcement is such a big deal that we can't even tell you what it is in this email... We will, however, spill the beans on this Sunday's web conference - so make sure you are there!
     


    Thousands Agree - Veretekk Dominates Online Marketing!
    Real People... Real Stories... Your's Could Be Next!
    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for getting me back on to Gold! I didn't realize what I was missing until it was gone.

    Thanks again,

    26. 2006-12-29 Spam Assassin Email Functions Are Here!


    Veretekk Offers Unparalleled Email Deliverability!
    No Other System Can Come Close...

    Every year during the Holiday's, Mike and I, audit the entire Veretekk system. During this time we make massive improvements, gleaning the system. You may have noticed some of these improvements. Like the back office windows being bigger, loading faster, etc. Part of this audit is checking all system emails and default autoresponders deliverability via testing them with Spam Assassin.

    By the way, there has been some grumbling that Veretekk's default autoresponders are not spam filter optimized. This is not the case. The following is a partial result of this full audit. NOTE: All email from the Veretekk system averages around 1.5 points.

    You can test these results yourself at any 3rd Party tool such as:
    Spam Assassin's result form: http://www.lyris.com/resources/contentchecker

    As you can see I tested using two systems. As each system can give different results. All email Veretekk sends out is well below the threshold reported by both Spam Assassin reports. Double blind testing assures accurate analysis.

    Although I do advocate making your own autoresponders, you can rest assured that the default autoresponders and all Veretekk email is delivering. If you are being told to turn off your autoresponders in your Traffic Portals, we recommend you ignore this misguided advice.

    You can also rest assured that Veretekk has personal relationships with the majority of the big ISPs as well as the top 20 spam reporting systems, like MAPS, SORBS, SpamCop and Spamhause. We have been in this business for over 10 years. Our email even delivers to AOL! I will discuss this further on this Sunday's conference.

    Even More Bully Pulpit Enhancements!
    HTML Editor Feature Now Active!

    As if the recent additions to the Bully Pulpit tool weren't enough, we've gone and added even more! Last week we announced the ability for you to control the From Email address you use to send out your Bully Pulpits as well as the ability to assign Sequential Mail sets of any size to your vanity autoresponders. In addition to this, we've added the following features:

    1) HTML Editor - You now have the ability to compose your HTML code in your Bully Pulpit and easily preview what it will look like. When you are satisfied with the content you can transfer the code to the HTML Email screen with the click of a button in order to send out your email.

    2) Group Send Status - The listing of lead groups in your Bully Pulpit is now colored coated. Those listed in red denote the fact that it has not yet been 7 days since you sent them your last Bully Pulpit (and hence cannot be emailed yet). Those in black are eligable to receive email. This simple enhancement allows you to determine the status of each group at a glance.



    3) Email Analyzer - We have also added an tool to help you analyze your email content based on SpamAssassin rules and criteria. Note: this tool is still in beta, but is working very well. You will find it on the Text Email and HTML Email screens.

    And don't worry... we're never done! Additional features will continued to be added to your Bully Pulpit in the future...
     


    Upcoming System Maintenance
    Email List Upload Function Will Be Down

    Over the coming days the Upload Email List function in Veremail Gold will be periodically down for maintenance. This disruption should be short lived and not extend over more than 2-3 days maximum from the time is starts. This down time is needed in order to activate the latest, greatest features in Veremail Gold. Stay tuned for next week's Bully Pulpit to find out about the new enhancements!
     


    Thousands Can't Be Wrong!
    Will You Have A Happy New Year?
    I started working with my veretekk system again this past August. Upgraded to gold again… went to classes and went to work… since August 23rd, 2006: three golds and 15 silvers (not counting my 2 additional silver accounts) in my genealogy… in my bully pulpit: in addition to the golds and silvers: 15 blastomatic, 1 classifieds, 1 computer giveaway, 1 daily message, 5 etracking, 1 free website, 4 freeffa, 1 leadsomatic, 1 webcatch, 3571 total email cpt, and 459 total veremail. This has happened since August 23rd, 2006. The seo training has resulted in a jump from 30,000 hits to my kennel website over a 3 year period to 41,198 since the end of august. I have by no means mastered this system… but I’m learning… and I like what I’m seeing. I see can see the potential... if you go to the training… and go to work… it works…

    27. 2006-12-21 Veremail, Email, Bully Pulpit Enhancements, Oh My!


    The Improved Email List Upload Process Is Here!
    Server Side Processing Combined With Optimized Email Deliverability...

    There are several explosive updates to tell you about Veremail... Sit down, take a deep breath, and do not read past the point where your head starts spinning without repeating the process!

    Server Side List Upload Processing - the email list upload function in Veremail Gold is now fully converted to process your list upload on the server rather than in your browser. What's that mean? Simple - it means increased reliability and stability for list uploads as they will no longer be affected by the processing power of your own computer, the speed of your internet connection, or your lack of patience to wait for the upload to complete! (if that's the case...) The system now uploads your file to the server and then the rest of the process occurs on the server side as soon as possible. If there are a lot of uploads occurring at one time it may take a few minutes. Otherwise you may find it works a lot faster than before. You will know your list has been processed when you see it show up in the MY EMAIL LISTS section.

    Optimized Email Deliverability Complete - as with the rest of the major email systems in Veretekk (your bully pulpits, sequential emails, autoresponders, verification emails, system emails, etc.) the Veremail list upload process now sends verification emails out on its very own protected IP address. We now have an entire outgoing server farm dedicated to processing these emails so the speed at which they are sent out has improved dramatically. Plus this new optimized IP address allows for a higher deliverability rate than ever before. Only Veretekk offers this type of unique email system!

    Veremail Welcomes Your MarketCenters! - the new multiple MarketCenter functionality is now fully integrated into Veremail as well. In addition to being able to assign any MarketCenter you want to your Veremail Groups, you can also now assign one to your manual verifications as well as your email list uploads. As soon as a prospect clicks the verification link, not only will they be verified and added to your lead database, they will automatically be instantly taken to the MarketCenter you have selected! Powerful, powerful tools...
     


    Major Enhancement To Your Bully Pulpit!
    You Can Now Send Mail From Any Vanity Or Stealth Email Address!

    You have probably noticed that email is sending and delivering from your Veretekk system like never before... Leads are flowing in and the Bully Pulpit is cranking your emails out. But we decided, why stop there? Why not multiply the value of your Bully Pulpit beyond your wildest expectations?!?! Well, brace yourself...

    You can now control the From Email address in your Bully Pulpit! This is a massive enhancement to your system! But listen to this... not only can you select from any of your 22 vanity email addresses, you can also select from any of your Stealth Email addresses as well! This means you can create and use an unlimited number of email addresses for your Bully Pulpit!!!

    Stop and think a minute about what this means. It's a lot bigger than simply being able change where your Bully Pulpit is sent from... This added flexibility allows you to:

    1) Assign unique autoresponders to your From Email address for when people respond to your Bully Pulpit messages!

    2) Different From Email addresses means that email capture (CPT) leads created when people respond to your Bully can be separated into different groups depending on the content/focus of your mail campaign!

    3) You can use your Veretekk POP mail account to filter incoming emails in response to your Bully Pulpit messages since they will be sent to the specific From Email address you used!

    This is a tremendous system enhancement - truely making Veretekk the only tool you will ever need for email marketing! If you're not sure you fully understand the magnitude of this upgrade or how to use it to explode your own business, PLEASE get on the live trainings! You will be glad you did...
     


    Vanity Autoresponder Restrictions Lifted!
    You Can Now Assign Any Sized Mail Set...

    For over 10 years now Veretekk has offered an advanced email address and autoresponder we have referred to as your "vanity email" address (%%username%%@veretekk.com). The main difference of this autoresponder from any other autoresponder service is that in addition to sending out emails to prospects that email you at this address, it also captures their email address and saves it as an "email capture" or CPT lead in your database. The system also allows you to protect your personal email address when marketing online. All emails sent to your vanity address are forwarded to your Veretekk POP email account.

    Last summer we kicked it up a notch by expanding the number of vanity email addresses from 1 to 22! Ever since you have had the ability to use these different vanity emails in your marketing efforts as a means for differentiating between marketing campaigns, separating groups of leads, and using different autoreponders for different purposes. As mentioned above, you now even have the ability to select which vanity email address you want to use as the From Email in your Bully Pulpits!

    But we have outdone ourselves again...

    Until now there has been a restriction on the autoresponders you could set up for your vanity emails. The system limited you to assigning a sequential mail set that only contained 1 email. i.e. so if a prospect emailed you at one of your vanity address, you could only have a single email go back to them as an autoresponder. Well... NO MORE! That restriction has been lifted. You can now assign any type of autoresponder you want to any/all of your 22 vanity email addresses!

    This really is huge news... Taking this steps secures Veretekk as the most powerful autoresponder system in the world (much less all of the other features and functions!) Through the combination of the Sequential Mailer and Vanity Responder tools you now have the ability to:

  • Create an unlimited number of Sequential Mail sets
  • Each with 1 to an unlimited number of emails
  • Each email configured to go out after a set number of days
  • Assign these mails sets to any of your 22 vanity email addresses
  • Fully manage and configure your system on the fly
  • Capture email responses to your vanity emails as leads
  • Receive all of the incoming email, easily filtered into groups in your POP account

    We challenge you to find a more robust autoresponder system anywhere. You will not find it. We are resolved that whatever features, functions, and tools Veretekk offers will be the best of class. Now you can put autoresponders into that category as well.
     


    MarketCenter Invitation Enhancements!
    Expanded Functionality Gives You More Control

    Now that your MarketCenter has expanded from 1 to an unlimited number for you to manage and promote, the MarketCenter invitation function inside the Premium Leads area has been updated as well. You now have the ability to control which MarketCenter your invitation takes your prospects to as well as which of your vanity email addresses it is sent from! The system also updates the notes for your prospect automatically to record which MarketCenter you invited them to.

    Life just got easier. What do you plan to do about it???
     


    Facts Tell, But Stories Sell...
    Are You Sold On Veretekk Yet???
    Hi Fellow Veretekk Member,

    I would just like to share my feelings before and after my first training class as a Veretekk Trainer on Nov 21st.

    After getting calmly ready from early afternoon when the time came to click on mic. button all of a sudden I became nervous and shaky like a leave in the wind.

    As soon as the training class began I started to feel more and more at ease, and after a while by seeing the good responses and the participation from the fellow members in the room I came to realize that even with my small support many others where seeing something good in what I was saying.

    That made me want to do more for the next sessions. I want to personally thank Tom and Mike for this opportunity and I would like to encourage everyone to step up and become a trainer in any area of the system, so that everyone could benefit from your experiences.

    After my first experience as a trainer, my hat goes off to all the Veretrainers who have been working here before me for all they’ve done for some of my team members. I hope that I can repay you all back someday with some of my own training time in the near future.

    BULLY TO ALL VERE TRAINERS!! They are AWESOME!!

    I first joined in March and didn't think much about it until it started to work for me and I got plenty of people emailing me from Veretek - you really do say what you are going to do, Veretek. I needed leads that didn't cost much because I had already a web site and a very pricey job on the Net that I needed leads for, but I haven't got any money from, becuase I didn't have any leads! When I started getting more emails from Veretek and Veremail, it made me think that Veretek is cool and they have so much for "zero dollars". I'm someone that became more interested in Veretek becuase they had done what they said from Blastomatic - sent me lots of leads. That's where I realized I really liked Veretek but didn't like the email so much, but then thought like everyone does in this business - that you need a good list of leads if you are going to get somewhere in any business.

    I think I will be going Gold soon, after just the second day now of getting configured with the silver system, this Veretek has everything you will ever need. I like it, but I need an autoresponder to help with all the emails - but this is just the start of my other business I now have with veretek who say what they are going to do from the very start. Thanks Veretekk! It hasn't been long but I know it is a good place...

    28. 2006-12-15 Veretekk Down Under and Top Secret Announcements!


    Veretekk Is All About Promoting Your Primary Business!
    New: Manage An Unlimited Number Of Opportunities!

    Yea sure... Veretekk has a profitable affiliate program... and many people promote Veretekk as their primary business. But, the system was designed over the past 10 years with a different focus - Veretekk is designed to help you promote YOUR business, not ours!

    In staying true with that concept, we've gone and done it again... with a massive upgrade to the MarketCenter functionality. Previously your MarketCenter was used basically for when a Silver subscriber below you logged into their Veretekk system. Before accessing their own back office they would pass through your MarketCenter. By default, Silver subsribers are unable to modify their MarketCenters (they are hard coded to promote your own Veretekk system). However, Gold subscribers have the ability to customize their MarketCenter to promote any business they want. This basic foundation stays the same, but...

    We have started to exponentially explode the value and effectiveness of your MarketCenter!

    Let me explain... first of all, Gold subscribers now have the ability to create an unlimited number of MarketCenters which means you can now manage multiple online businesses through a single Veretekk account! But it gets even better... we have started to expand the number of places your MarketCenter(s) show up! As of today, in addition to the login for Silver Veretekk members it shows up on several of your traffic portals and/or the back offices of those portals (where your prospects sign in to use those tools).


    You'll also find this great new feature intertwined with the Veremail Groups function. You can assign any MarketCenter you want to any Veremail Group you have created and by using the form code, when a prospect signs up they will immediately see your MarketCenter below the email verification message. When they open and click the verification link in the email, the result page will again display your MarketCenter!

    What's it all mean? It means that if you want to promote multiple businesses using Veretekk, it's easier than ever! When you combine this new functionality with the use of custom Sequential Mailers, the possibilities are endless!!! For example, you could set up your Blastomatic portal specifically to promote your ABC Business by having a special sequential mailer go out to prospects when they sign up, and having them see a special MarketCenter when they login to their Blastomatic control panel. You could duplicate this entire process for your VereTracking site to have it promote your XYZ Business!

    Watch as this new MarketCenter function floods into all areas of the system!
    Better be ready to call some leads...!
     


    Veretekk Down Under Is Coming!
    The First Regional Veretekk Portal Is In Soft-Launch...

    Those of you who have been on recent Sunday conferences have already gotten the sneak peek, but for all the rest - are you interested in expanding your business into Australia and New Zealand? Well get ready, because the time is near!

    Regional Portals are a new addition to your Veretekk portfolio. The concept is simple: Business is all about relationships. Being successful in online business and especially network marketing takes this to the next level. It's all about community! This is a central reason for how and why Veretekk is so effective for 10,000's of people -- there is an entire community of people (especially the VereTrainers) standing together to help the new guy! If someone in your downline ends of being a lousy sponsor to the people below him, no problem! Veretekk offers those "orphans" in your downline a home.

    But the concept of a global community of online marketers can only go so far. There are realities that get in the way, such as dramatic time zone differences, language and cultural barriers, etc. This is where Regional Portals come in - they act as a community within the community. In the case of Veretekk Down Under it means that Australians and New Zealanders now have a corner of Veretekk to call their own! They have VereTrainers living in the area to assist them - with training and event times that work for them!

    Now... don't make the mistake of thinking, "Who cares? I live in the US, or Europe, etc. Why should I bother promoting this portal?" It's simple - you should care if you have ever wanted to expand your business into these areas! Because now you have a specialized traffic portal that you can use to specifically appeal to this market, but better yet you also have an entire support structure of local people ready to help train and support your downline!

    WHO ELSE DOES THIS???
    I mean, come on!!!

    Veretekk Down Under is in "soft launch". That means we'll announce an official launch sometime after the new year once all of the pieces are in place. But in the mean time, the system is already fully installed into your Veretekk system. It has its own Portal Control Panel and will work right now to generate leads for you. Keep in mind though that until the official launch, we may need to change or update things, so don't be concerned if something you configure goes away.

    Your Veretekk Down Under regional portal is at:

    We have some serious enhancements scheduled to be activated next week! But if you want to hear about them ahead of everyone else, make sure you get on the Sunday web conference! We're talking major value here! We're so excited about this stuff that we can't even risk hinting at it... without giving it all away!

    So join us this Sunday for the weekly State of the System address. The details are listed below. We often let a few secrets out during these Sunday conferences, but from now on when you see this "Top Secret" notice in the weekly Bully Pulpit you'll know something serious is about to happen...

    We Just Can't Count Them All!
    Testimonials Continue To Flow...
    I want to tell you how happy we are with the Veretekk lead generating system. What an affordable way to build a high quaility lead list! Veretekk has increased our business and the businesses of our team members.

    Does Veretekk Have Several Heroes About. Yes I believe Veretekk has many heroes amongst the 50 thousand strong. I have been with Veretekk now closing in on 2 years. I have had my ups and downs but through it all I have stayed focused on what Veretekk is all about due to several people. This particular Testimonial is directed at Tom Prentergast the father figure, hero, mentor and any other word that describes a person who is on a mission and knows exactly what his Savior put him on earth for. And the most outstanding part is each and every one of us fit into his personal mission. Like most of us Tom probably took the long way around to find out what his calling was. The fact of it all is Tom did just that and each week he takes some time to remind us all that he overcome many hardships along the path of life and finally feels comfortable where he is. I would like to thank Tom personally for listening to me when it was needed. Calling me when he was in doubt and keeping me on the strait and narrow when it was called for. A true man of his word that in time will be one of the 22nd Century Heroes amongst the business entrepreneur set. If someone was to ask me who Tom reminds me most of as a hero figure I would have to say Robin Hood. Tom of course could not use the same tactics as Robin Hood used but I bet he would love to be able to. (grin). Robin Hood as most of us know Took or Robbed from the wealthy and gave to the poor. Tom is his own right dose the exact same thing. He empowers the average Joe to be able to compete with the successful entrepreneurs. This is an exceptional thing in to days society and he dose this out of the kindness of his heart. It has taken many years for Tom to reach his goal which is to help you and I out. THANKS TOM PRENTERGAST YOU HAVE EARNED THE HONOR OF BEING MY HERO. PLEASE CONTINUE MAKING MY LIFE A BETTER PLACE TO BE. A special man who needs to hear it from this group just how much we appreciate his tenacious direction in life.

    29. 2006-11-23 Special Thanksgiving Edition!


    Revolutionary New Lead Analysis Tool!
    Precision Marketing At Its Best!

    E·mail Tol·er·ance (ee-meyl tol-er-uh ns)
    - adjective
         1. an indication of receptiveness of a marketing prospect to receiving email.
         2. a representation of how much Spam an email address receives.
    - noun
         1. an integer representing how commonly found an email address is online.
              a. an integer representing how widely dispersed an email is.
                   i. a large number indicates it can be found on numerous email lists.
                   ii. a small number indicate fewer people have the email address.
         2. a number representing the quality of an email lead.
         3. a powerful marketing tool available only from Veretekk!

    Hold on tight because this announcement is one of the biggest bomb shells in recent history from Veretekk!!!

    Your Veremail system has been upgraded to include the Email Tolerance level for every single Veremail lead in your database. What's Email Tolerance? Simple, it is a measure that reflects the number of times that particular email address can be found throughout the entire Veremail database. Why is that important? For starters it allows you to evaluate each of your leads to know which are being flooded by marketing emails and which are truly valuable and unique to you!

    This may sound like a simple, easy-to-deliver concept... but is it NOT! Veremail is the most powerful bulk email marketing system in the world. The combined lead database contains 10's of millions of verified email addresses from 10,000's of Veretekk subscribers. Simply put, it is the largest system of its kind in existence. This background information is important because it explains why...

    Veretekk is the only company that is in a position to even BE ABLE to deliver this tool!

    You see, smaller email marketing systems that only contain 1,000's or 10,000's of verified leads "could" offer something like this, but there would be no value in it! Their databases are so small that they are meaningless compared to the global Internet market. The sheer size of the Veremail email database makes it representative of the broader industry as a whole. If an email address is contained 500 times in the Veremail database, it is safe to assume it is also contained on lots of Spam mailing lists and is receiving a ton of junk email. On the other hand, if an email address is only found a few times in the Veremail database, this indicates that it is a PRIME email address that has a much higher probability of actually reading the email you send them!

    Delivering this feature has been no small challenge... As of today, every single time a prospect clicks the link in a Veremail verification email, the system instantly searches the entire Veremail database... 10,000,000's of listings... to determine how many times it that email is already verified. It then updates all of the lead records with that email address to reflect the new Email Tolerance value. This is happening millions of times a month! As a result, the hardware requirements are staggering! All of the recent server upgrades we have been reporting have finally made this possible.

    Simply put, Veremail's new Email Toerance feature will revolutionize the way people think about bulk email marketing. Veretekk Gold subscribers have the ability to upload email lists into their Veremail system (up to 10,000 email addresses per day!) In addition to having access to complete statistical analysis of your lists, you now have the ability to evaluate the quality of the prospects that verify in addition to the quality of the list itself!

    Folks, this is the Michael Jordan slam dunk... the Tiger Woods hole in one... the Veretekk of online marketing!

    30. 2006-11-17 New Updates And Announcements!


    Phase 1 Server Enhancements Complete!!!
    Stability And Reliability Like Never Before!

    After nearly 10 years I get to take a few weeks off. It couldn't be better timing. Can you feel it? Can you see that light? Did you notice there is no more tunnel? I am ecstatic that Veretekk is now in the light and the long dark tunnel is behind us. For the last ten years I have fought, struggled, prayed as we scratched into existent this great system called Veretekk. With the installation of the last batch of servers (with more coming), our system is rocking. The email is going out on time in all categories (Bully Pulpit, auto responders, Sequential email). The issues with the Sequential default letters is resolved. Things are smoothing out. Now Mike and I can start concentrating on more very cool marketing developments.

    But Veretekk is more than just a great system. It is about the community. The Veretekk community has become a very special family. If you have not accessed our online conference training, you are missing out. It is very unique. Staffed by nearly 100 volunteer Veretekk subscribers who are the core of our training. Once you start attending you discover a family of like minded Veretekkies. You discover a spirit of others like you. And everyone works together to help each other.

    This is my primary goal building Veretekk. The community. You see, I have joined many MLM companies and I have never had a sponsor who ever cared for anything more than the kill. Once recruited, I have always been left alone to figure things out myself. I have always been an orphan in every business I have ever done. The only time I ever hear from my sponsor after being recruited, is when they are on the hunt again, trying to recruit me into another deal. I call this fowl play. This is why I built Veretekk. And here is the why.

    After many years of developing a real comprehensive marketing system, I knew the crowning glory was in training and building the cohesive element of the relationship. So Veretekk is the foster parent. We step up and without obligation we train you, help you, empower you to succeed. What a combination. The best marketing tools on the Internet with the most comprehensive training and support.

    Just leave the big stuff to us. We are and will deliver. You just need to get into the community. Get on the trainings. Become a trainer yourself. Experience for the first time, the success that has eluded you. Experience Veretekk. We believe and act accordingly, that we will leave no one behind. Are you in good hands? You are with us!

    FYI: I will not be available until November 27, 2006. No worry, Mike and the crew will take care fo you...

    No Other System Can Even Come Close...

    If you have not yet grasped the significance of the recent server additions and upgrades, now is the time to understand a few things. While the details of the system configuration, server farm organization, and other technical details are proprietary and confidential to Inetekk, we have created a basic white paper that diagrams the general information for how outgoing email is processed through Veretekk. Take a look:

    View the Veretekk Outgoing Email Diagram.

    No other "would-be online marketing company" does anything close! The vast majority of businesses simply use a single server to process email. In fact, the vast majority actually use a single SHARED server to process their email (which means a lot of other companies use the same server). This is why most companies have trouble with email. They are not willing to make the investment to do things right!

    For over 10 years Veretekk has used a dedicated email server (no one else shares it). In reality, we use dozens and dozens of outgoing mail servers, load balanced together in order to handle the massive amount of email that passes through them each day. But throwing hardware at email challenges will simply ensure that the mail is sent... not that the email actually gets delivered! While there may be a few other online marketing companies out there that actually use dedicated mail servers, and may have even purchased multiple servers to handle the load, this is the reason they still struggle with email deliverability.

    As you can see from the outgoing email diagram, Veretekk has invested heavily in a monumental engineering effort to separate the various types of outgoing email in Veretekk into categories. Each type of email goes out on a unique IP address that's assigned to that type of email. All Veretekk email is 100% spam free (double opt-in verified, and fully verifiable through the search function at http://inetekk.com. But, should an illegitimate spam complaint occur that causes one of our IP addresses to be temporarily blacklisted by renegade services such as SpamCop, it will only affect that particular type of Veretekk email... all other kinds of email will continue to be sent and delivered as normal!

    But it goes well beyond dealing with occasional blacklisting issues... In order to process the various categories of Veretekk email, we have created an entire outgoing mail server farm for each type of email! We are constantly adding new mail servers to keep up with the exploding growth of Veretekk, but by creating these separate server farms it means that if we experience a momentary backlog of email for a certain function (i.e. due to a spike in that type of email for whatever reason), it will only affect that particular type of email... all other email will keep flowing uninterrupted! Some mail farms have just 2 servers... others have dozens and dozens!

    It's important for you to understand the general idea here. When you do, you will come to see that Vererekk is simply the only online marketing company in the entire world that works this way. It will help you to understand why Veretekk works when so many other companies out there fail to deliver on the promises they make. Not only will you gain appreciation for the powerful tool in front of you, it will provide you ammunition when talking to your leads about why your system is absolutely better than all the rest!
     


    Improved Veremail Email List Upload Process!
    Rock Solid Stability And Results...

    For those of you who have not tried out the PDF Portfolio, you are missing out on a powerful system tool! This technology was pioneered by Inetekk in the mid 90's and even now, few companies offer the ability to create customized PDF marketing materials that can be dynamically created and altered by you online. The system allows you to create individualized marketing materials that you can then print out and use for offline marketing. You can actually create a steady stream of online leads from offline marketing - these print materials will funnel prospects into your Veretekk system!

    Well, the PDF Portfolio is long overdue for an update! And we have done just that. You can't tell the difference from just looking at it, but the entire backend file and database structure has been rebuilt from the ground up. Why??? Simple, because we're ready to EXPLODE the volume and content of PDF marketing materials available to you!

    Call For Materials!

    Have a great idea for a marketing flyer? Form letter? Business Card? Promotional gimmic? etc? etc? etc? Send it to us and we'll add it to the Portfolio! We're now actively accepting suggestions to expand these materials. The only restrictions are that they cannot promote any particular primary business opportunity (as Veretekk is an equal opportunity marketing system!) Send us you ideas and we'll get them on the list!!!
     


    Attention: Call Your Blinkies Or Lose Them!
    Enhancements Coming For Unverified Silver Leads...

    When someone signs up for a free Veretekk Silver system through your affiliate site, but never ends up actually logging into the system, they show up in your genealogy as a blinking Silver subscriber - affectionately referred to as a "Blinkie". Those of you who attend training sessions know it's critical that you call these people to help them out, answer their questions, and show them how to login to their system. Many times their ISP simply filtered out the email that contained their login information. (You can help them out by clicking on their name in your genealogy, then click on their email address and it will allow you to personally send them their login information.)

    The problem with Blinkies is that they consume system resources... take up space in the server farms with their accounts... prevent anyone else from using that username... and are not even a verified lead since they never logged into the system! Over the years it's been up to you, our subscriber, to contact these people and help them out - creating a relationship with them that will ultimately help build your business. But now help is on the way!

    We are about to implement a new function to handle these unverified Silver leads. Over a period of 30 days after they signup for the account the system will automatically contact them with their account details and encourage them to login to the system and look around. However, as they approach the end of this period the system will start warning them that their account will be deleted if they fail to login. On the 30th day their account will be purged out of the system. Any/all leads it may have accumulated will automatically be transfered to your account.

    In order to implement this new process we will be deleting ALL unverified Silver accounts that are more than 30 days old next week! So... if you haven't called these people yet, this is your last chance!!! Plan on seeing these old unverified leads disappear by midnight PST on Wednesday, 11/22/06. After that the system will start processing any remaining Blinkies in your downline on a daily basis. If you fail to call them within 30 days they will be deleted.

    NOTE: This new function is NOT designed to replace your needing to call these unverified leads! But hopefully it will help reduce the number of them that occur...

    The results from Veretekk are nothing short of miraculous. In such a short period of time I have not only been able to generate quality premium leads for my business but I have noticed that there have been several higher organic listings inside the search engines as a result of using the Veretekk system. I love the easy step by step training classes which lay everything out for you from start to finish leaving nothing to figure out on your own. I really feel as if I'm apart of something great... Everyone is so concerned about my success. I feel like a member of a Big Family! I have only utilized some of the tools that are available with great results I can't wait to see what happens when I start using all of them. Thanks so much for everything!

    I signed on with a company 3 weeks ago, which lead me to Veretekk. After signing me up, I never heard from my enroller to help with training. I had trouble printing out the rep agreement, so I called support and got directly through to Tom Prendergast. He was so helpful - now I'm a gold member and I AM SO excited about this system. I think it's incredible that I can't get help from my enroller (who promised me plenty of hands-on training), but I WAS able to get help - within minutes - from the CEO. YOU GUYS ROCK - and so does VERETEKK!! I'm planning on getting rich and retiring early because of you.

    Listen To What People Are Saying!
    The Veretekk Revolution Is Underway!
    I have been working and using the Internet since the late 80's running from one opportunity to another without significant success. When I discovered Veretekk, I signed up as a Silver but not doing anything with the system for 6 months. I tried a few others scams and I decided to go back and to try Veretekk. This system is complete and very cheap! Just the training worths at least 3-4 times the money you put in. Stop looking for anything else but stick with Veretekk because you have it all!

    Recently I have been overwhelmed with Blast-O-Matic and FreeFAA leads. Every person I have reached my conversation goes anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Every conversation has been positive, I just don't have enough time in my day to contact all of them!

    Although this is a real problem for me, it is a good problem to have! The trainings by the volunteers are a must if you want the same "problem".

    33. 2006-10-13 More Exciting Information And Announcements!


    Leadsomatic Month #1 Was A Huge Success!
    $1,000's In Commissions Already Paid Out!

    The results from the first month post-launch for Leadsomatic are in... what a month!!! Those of you who have been promoting this Profit Portal are already well aware of the lead generation results it offers. Those of you that have not yet clued into this powerful Premium Lead generator need to do so - you're missing out big time!

    Leadsomatic leads, membership upgrades, and commissions continue to swell. Here are the results after commissions were paid for month #1 on 10/10/2006. Over 3800 new members have joined - representing the best possible type of Premium Lead! Almost 1000 of those members have upgraded to the full/paid Leadsomatic membership - that's an unheard of upgrade ratio! For the month of September, over 100 Veretekk subscribers were paid commissions from their Leadsomatic Profit Portal - that means over 100 people got PAID to generate leads for THEIR OWN business!!! Folks, that's what Veretekk's Profit Portals are all about!

    The Leadsomatic Profit Pool for September contained 486 shares with a total value of $1458.00 - meaning an individual share value of $3/share that was paid out in addition to the $2/signup direct commission for each upgraded member. As a result, a $5/upgrade commission was paid for each member... 2 upgrades and your own paid membership is paid for!!!

    NOW... pay attention! The Profit Pool for October is ALREADY up to over $1000.00! This month is on target to surpass September, so promote your portal! The more upgrades you have, the more direct commissions and shares of the profit pool you receive! (Not to mention... the more Premium Leads for YOUR BUSINESS!)

    I signed up for veretekk March 21 2005. I jumped to gold pretty quickly … started on some training then… crashed and burned. Veretekk didn’t crash and burn .. I did. Physically… crashed… became ill and continued to get worse until I had surgery in September 2005. I was sniffing around a body bag before surgery… checking it out for size so to speak. It’s taken a year of recovery to be sort of “up to par” …still have toxins working their way out of my system.

    Through the course of that hellish year my veretekk system dropped back to silver… I was in no shape to take care of finances.. so they didn’t get taken care of. Never occurred to me to tell Tom about it… but then nothing much was occurring to me but blinding pain. Recovery has taken a while… my immune system was already compromised… I had west Nile virus summer into autumn of 2003. Nasty stuff… if you aren’t allergic to mosquito repellent … USE IT! You do not want west Nile virus… been there done that… you won’t like it!

    Meanwhile the Pomeranian kennel had to be taken care of and so did the large breed rescues… I lost count of the times I woke up sprawled in a dog run or exercise yard surrounded my dogs… licking me …trying to wake me up. I remember waking up, in one of the large yards (100ft by 100ft) with Lu Lu (yellow lab) and Yoda (Malamute/wolf hybrid) standing guard over me… nuzzling my neck and face trying to get me to wake up… there were 4 large dogs and 3 small in that pack.

    Anyway…this isn’t a whine session…what happened… happened… I survived… and am a stronger person psychologically for it… still working on that strength/endurance bit with this body. But it’s coming along.

    I started working with my veretekk system again this past august. Upgraded to gold again… went to classes and went to work… since August 23rd, 2006: three golds and 15 silvers (not counting my 2 additional silver accounts) in my genealogy… in my bully pulpit: in addition to the golds and silvers: 15 blastomatic, 1 classifieds, 1 computer giveaway, 1 daily message, 5 etracking, 1 free website, 4 freeffa, 1 leadsomatic, 1 webcatch, 3571 total email cpt, and 459 total veremail. This has happened since August 23rd, 2006. The seo training has resulted in a jump from 30,000 hits to my kennel website over a 3 year period to 41,198 since the end of august. I have by no means mastered this system… but I’m learning… and I like what I’m seeing. I see can see the potential... if you go to the training… and go to work… it works…

    The New Veretekk Public Forum Is Here!
    Better Functionality And A New Look To Match!

    The old Veretekk online forum had been with us for the better part of a decade. That's as a good a reason as any to update it with a fresh new system! The new board offers several new features that we expect will make everyone's life a little easier.

    For the next week or so, we'll be keeping an eye on things so please post any bugs or issues you might have on the forum itself. We expect a smooth transition, but as always it's possible a glitch or two could be uncovered now that the new forum has been placed in production. We rely on your feedback for that type of thing... so let us know if you have issues!

    If you haven't seen the new forum, just login to your back office and click the Veretraining tab at the top followed by the FORUM link on the left side of the screen. Hope you like it!

    35. 2006-09-29 Here Come More Updates And Announcements!!!


    I Once Was Blind, But Now Can See!
    Veretekk Now Accessible To The Visually Impaired...

    As part of an ongoing corporate initiative, we have completed adjustments to all of the Portal Control Panels (PCPs) so that they are all compatible with screen reader software used by the visually impaired to read websites. This is an important milestone for Veretekk as it keeps us on target with our mission to provide unparalleled marketing tools to people from all walks of life. You may be surprised to know that Veretekk has a lot of blind subscribers. These improvements make the system even more accessible to all of them.

    So if your vision is fine, what does all of this mean to you? A lot, actually. These improvements just opened up a whole new market segment for you to market to! Veretekk, the only system of it's kind, is now totally accessible to the blind. You can capitalize on this by marketing to the blind and growing your downline!
     
    "Thanks!... Thanks!... Thanks!... Yessss! Wowsee Wow!... Thanks Tom, and Mike for fixing the drop down menues in the portal control panels so that blind people are able to configure their portals. It works perfectly... Just great! Now that I have found this new accessible part of the Veretekk system, I am getting used to using the functions. It's a most of the time, difficult task dealing with blindness, or any major handicap for that matter. I think it's an even harder task trying to use the computer, and the internet... let alone trying to make a little money, or run any kind of business on the internet. Most people don't realize what handicapped people go through, and in my case, totally blind people, trying to use their computers, and the internet. When I found Veretekk, I was blown away with the awesomeness of this powerful program. I thought, "Wow... I finally found something that a blind person can use to market on the internet, and it really works! When I ran into the ever present snag for blind people... links, and dropdown menus that just don't show up in the screen readers interface (software that allows blind people to read websites, and computer programs) I was Sooo discouraged! So... I sent Tom, Veretekk's CEO, some info about the problems that blind people go through when surfing the internet, and trying to interact with websites. I was totally shocked when he actually said that he would do something about the problem! Not only that!... He actually called me! Where can you find that kind of support?... A Call From The CEO of the company! Veretekk is totally awesome... It really works... and It is very affordable! The round the clock live training is top notch! What's even better... They tell you the whole truth about internet marketing... It takes time to be successful. Thanks Tom!... Thanks Mike!... You don't know just how much I appreciate your efforts. Veretekk is pure marketing Awesomeness!"

    Updates And Adjustments To The Back Office
    Minor Reorganization Of Some System Components To Be More Intuitive...

    Many of you have noticed some subtle changes to sections of the Veretekk back office. These adjustments come after listening to a lot of subscriber feedback about where certain functions are located in the system. As always, one of our goals is to make Veretekk as intuitive as possible. We have moved a few things around to support that effort:

    You'll notice the addition of the MY ACCOUNT section, accessible from the main page in the back office. This is now the section that contains ACCOUNTING, COMMISSIONS, GENEALOGY, CHANGE SPONSOR, and RESIGNATION. We have also added a CHARGEBACKS section to make Inetekk's chargeback policy more visible in the back office.

    Another important change is that the SEQUENTIAL MAILER function has been moved to the CONFIGURATION section. Previously it was located in COMMUNICATION, but numerous subscribers have pointed out that the Sequential Mailer function is really part of configuring your system to send out automated emails (rather than a function that directly emails people like the Bully Pulpit, Premium Leads, and other areas found in COMMUNICATION.)

    We know that change can be painful, hence the reason we are careful to avoid making too many changes to the back office unless they are absolutely needed. This should be all for now. We appreciate all of your input and feedback.
     


    The Spam Report Function
    Now Reflects The Multiple IP Address Used By Veretekk!

    As a reflection of our ongoing IP Address email optimization plan, we have updated the Spam Report function found in the VERETRAINING section. Now that the system is using multiple IP addresses, specifically differentiated for certain email functions in the system, you now have the ability to use this tool to determine the blacklisting status for each IP address.

    At Veretekk we strive to make everything as transparent as possible! We have nothing to hide. In fact we want you to see these types of things because it proves what we are saying is actually true! We want you to be able to go and see for yourself whether or not an IP address is blacklisted. The fact that they are not clearly shows that email deliverability is at an all time high! Show us one single email marketing company willing to do this!!! (None of them will... they don't want you to see the truth.)

    If you're not familiar with the Spam Report function, go check it out. This is a great place to go if/when you or your prospect are not receiving email. If you find that the IP address is question is not blacklisted in a ton of systems, it almost certainly means your ISP is filtering your email. On the other hand, for some reason if you find that a particular IP address is heavily blacklisted at some point in time, that will explain why you're not getting that email. Again, totally transparent. That's our policy.

This is a direct result of the sophisticated IP address mapping plan that we have been implementing piece by piece over the past couple months. Not only has this resulting in your bully pulpits being sent almost immediately, deliverability rates have improved drastically!

    How..? What does that mean? You see, there are basically 2 factors associated with any email system. The first is how fast your email gets sent. This is by far the easiest of the factors to control and improve (although it does get tricky with massive, world class mail systems such as Veretekk offers - sending millions of emails each day!) The second factor is what percentage of these emails are actually getting delivered? This is a much more complex and challenging issue. Veretekk stands alone as the only online marketing company that is constantly fighting on your behalf to ensure that your email actually gets delivered. Part of this equation has been specializing the use of our IP addresses such that certain components of the system use specific IP addresses to send email that are distinctly different from other system emails. Doing so has insulated certain types of "higher risk" email (e.g. Veremail list uploads) from lower risk emails (such as your bully pulpits). This is an important part of the reason why you are seeing a higher and higher percentage of your emails actually get delivered.

    But we're not done yet... We will continue to keep you updated as we work towards fully completing this IP address adjustment. You will continue to see email deliverability get better and better as a result.
     



    Notice: eTracking.net / 1-Family.com Under Construction.
    Remote Submissions Have Exploded!

    Many of you may have noticed that the submission sections for the eTracking and 1-Family Traffic Portals have been put Under Construction. While this might appear to be bad news on the surface, it's actually a great situation and opportunity to expand these powerful systems. So, what happened? Basically, remote submissions to these systems have gotten so high that they can completely overwhelm the servers that have been handling them! Rather than allowing this happen (which would mean the submissions would still be accepted, but would cause frustrating loading problems for other web pages in the system), we decided to take this opportunity to dramatically expand both Traffic Portals.

    We are now in the process of adding multiple servers to handle the increased submission load for eTracking and 1-Family. The result will be an extremely robust platform for both of these Traffic Portals - equivalent to the server farms already established for portals like FFAFarm.com. As we bring them back online they will each be capable of handling virtually unlimited incoming submissions.

    So, what's in it for you? -- More leads!!! As the submission threshold is increased, there will be more and more leads generated that are automatically assigned to Veretekk Gold members at random. Taking this next step with these 2 portals will permanently strengthen their ability to produce results. And that's what this is all about...
     


    Veretekk Testimonials Have Exploded!
    Multitudes Of Subscribers Are Seeing The Big Picture!

    For years we have gotten a constant stream of unsolicited testimonials from Veretekk subscribers (and others) on various aspects of the system. We have seen a spike in recent weeks and thought it would be nice to share a handful of these comments with all of our subscribers. Therefore, each week we will include one or two in the corporate Bully Pulpit for you to read and put to use for your own good.
    My name is Al Turnquist. I am the CEO of a very successful MLM company and endorse Veretekk with great pride! I have been a loyal fan and subscriber to Veretekk since February 2006. I love Veretekk! It is the most amazing system and my words just don't do it justice. Tom and Mike, the owners, are geniuses!

    But that is not what impressed me today. Today, I received an email from the company that hosts my servers, they sent me a serious spam complaint with threats of fines and server shutdown resulting from Inetekk email. I immediately contacted Tom and he assured me everything would be fine. He instructed me to send the Colo.s abuse guy to the Inetekk site and put the complainer's email into the abuse search function. Sure enough, the guy complaining was proved to be officially opted into Inetekk, end of story! The abuse guy was impressed and apologized.

    Tom calls this "Third Party Validation". I call it bloody genius. I just fell more in love with Veretekk today! Thanks Tom and Mike! Oh, and Happy Birthday Tom.

    Since I started using the Veretekk system a couple of years ago I've experienced a dramatic increase in income from my home business. Not only does Veretekk generate massive traffic for anything I want, it also generates Premium Leads for me, people that recognize my name when I call them & give me no rejection. I've also learned, because of Veretekk, just how easy it is to get on the 1st page of the major search engines for free. In fact, I now teach others how to do it. A nice side benefit of Veretekk is that it also has an Affiliate Program that consistently generates thousands of dollars a month for me... Heck, you'd need a million dollars in the bank drawing interest to equal what I earn just from the Veretekk Affiliate Program each month, not to mention what it's done for the other businesses I'm involved with from home. It's been a major factor in the success of my home business and I strongly recommend it.

    It finally happened. I have been going to training and doing what the trainers teach but for the first 5-6 weeks not much happened. Then it happened. I sent out a Bully Pulpit letter inviting the readers to Blastomatic and Traffic Swarm. Well now my Traffic Swarm account is overflowiing so much they advised me to add some more sites to get more circulation. Then I finally had to turn off the text messaging for Blastomatic leads because it was going off every few minutes. In less than a week I have more than 150 premium leads and more than 20 are Silver sign ups. Whew! I honestly can't call all the leads I have. I'm trying and will keep it up but I'm not able to contain my enthusiasm for the Veretekk System and what it can do for our prospects. That's all for now but I'm sure the story on not yet told. ...to infinity and beyond (Buzz Lightyear :-)

    Leadsomatic continues to grow...

    As expected, the Leadsomatic explosion is continuing. There are now over 3000 members! Lead generation for Veretekk subscribers is approaching exponential growth with this powerful new Profit Portal. At the half way point of the first month post-launch there are already over 85 Veretekk subscribers with pending commissions from their Leadsomatic portal!

    VereText Explodes Internationally!!!
    94 New Cellular Carriers Added to this Powerful Text Messaging System!

    A week ago VereText was announcement and released as the newest component to the Veretek system. This new tool allows you to receive a text message each time you receive a Premium Lead from one of your traffic portals. Now you can contact your prospects instantly when they signup into one of your Traffic Portals!

    Along with the announcement, we asked the 250 people who attended last Sunday's web conference (many of whom live in various countries around the world) to let us know about the cellular carriers in their area in order for us to perform the needed research and development to add them to the VereText functionality. We asked... and you responded!

    We are pleased to announce that in less than a week from the initial unveiling of VereText, the system now has international functionality and has been expanded to include over 94 cellular carriers that are popular in various areas around the world! Now your entire global downline can benefit from this existing new enhancement. Thanks to all of you for your valuable input!
     


    38. 2006-08-26 New systems, tools, and training keep pouring in!


    Lead Notification for Today's World!
    Automated Text Messaging of Premium Leads to Your Cell Phone

    In the continuing spirit of innovation and in keeping with Veretekk's reputation for constantly pushing the cutting edge of available technology, we are happpy to announce the merging of Traffic Portal lead generation with cellular text messaging! Veretekk Gold subscribers now have the ability to configure any/all of their Traffic Portals to send an automated lead notification to their cell phone the instant a prospect verified their email address!

    This powerful new feature will allow you to reach out and call your prospects the moment they signup into one of your portals. Research has shown that the faster you are able to call a Premium Lead, the better the response. Now you can blow them away by contacting them the second they sign up... without having to sit in front of your computer all day watching for lead notification emails!

    To configure your VereText settings, simply log into your Veretekk back office and go to the Configuration area - click Text Messaging. All you have to do is enter your 10 digit cell phone number (sorry, USA only for now!) and select the cellular carrier to have service with. On the following page you can designate which of your Traffic Portals you want to receive text message lead notifications from. Choose them all, or just those you want to focus on... it's up to you - you have full control!
     


    Powerful New Veretekk Training Tools!
    Learn the system and watch your business and success expand...

    Over the years of building the Veretekk interface, I have resisted building training systems and manuals. Now that I am satisfied with the current state of affairs, the time has come to build a world class training structure, with visual aids, interactive instruction and personalized PDF manuals.

    This is time intensive and the work has begun. The first fully functional training system will be unveiled this Sunday and the first training for setting up Outlook Express will be this Monday at 12 noon Pacific Coast Time. This Sunday we will be showing you, for the first time, the original interface design, that has evolved to the Veretekk back office you see today. The only thing left to add to what we originally conceived is this training function I am now building. Want to see where we are headed with this? Be at the conference this Sunday.

    We will be building these new training platforms for all the trainers. This means explicit, easy to follow instructions, for processes like, using the Veremail software download that makes exporting and importing leads easy and fast, how to use the Hammer, what to expect, and why, setting up your Market Center and why, learning HTML and how and where to use it, setting up your own domains and web sites using Veretekk resources to build world class sites, etc.! Setting up Outlook Express right, the first time, for you newbies, using email software, instead of depending on web based software. Setting up filters and rules in your Outlook Express, so you can manage the email that comes in easily and effectively. This knowledge will improve your marketing efforts 100%!

    Starting September I will be back with all new training and tools. I am looking forward to it. I hope you will be too.

    Recap of New Pre-Launch Announcements
    Official Worldwide Launch Set For September 1, 2006!

    As described in yesterday's Bully Pulpit, momentum and anticipation surrounding the worldwide launch of Leadsomatic is growing to a feverish pitch! The following is an abbreviated re-cap of the recent announcements:

    1) Veretekk Genealogies Will Remain Intact! - The goal of Leadsomatic is to 1) Create another lead generation source for your business, and 2) Create an additional revenue stream for you! Rather than creating a "free for all" rush that forces Veretekk subscribers to scramble in order to hold on to the potential value their existing Veretekk downline offers them, we have increased the integration between Veretekk and Leadsomatic. Every Veretekk subscriber automatically has a free membership account in Leadsomatic. i.e. You and your Veretekk downline can login to Leadsomatic using your Veretekk username and password. (You/they do not need to signup for a new account.) What does this mean for you??? Simple - if someone below you in Veretekk upgrades to a paying Leadsomatic membership, you will automatically get the commission! (assuming you are qualified to do so - see Leadsomatic for details.)

    2) Window of Opportunity to Upgrade in Leadsomatic - Thus far the Leadsomatic system has operated very smoothly during the pre-launch period. However, the ability to upgrade to the paid membership has been blocked (and full membership is required to have access to The Hammer submission tool to blast your advertisement to over 2 Billion websites!) As the final step in our beta testing, we will open up the ability to upgrade for a short period of time. During this time the system will function fully to process the $10 signup/monthly fee, pay commissions, and provide you access to the full Leadsomatic service including The Hammer. However, for testing purposes we will only accept the first 50 people to upgrade! After that we will close down the upgrade option until the official worldwide launch on September 1, 2006. The option to upgrade during pre-launch will open at 5:00pm PST on Sunday, 8/27/2006.

    2. Tips for Business Success in Today's Tough Market Place
    By Storm Castle

    Does your company do business to business prospecting? Have you ever considered using an outbound telemarketing company? If you are wondering if your business will be able to endure the current economic troubles, this article is exactly what you need to read. There are six tips that can help your business find success even in a bad economy.

    The following six tips are ways your company can not only survive, but thrive during tough economic times. Increasing your marketing budget, using the power of leverage, focusing your efforts where they will be most effective, properly training your employees, providing excellent customer service and keeping a positive attitude are all ways to keep your business profitable in difficult economic times.

    The first way for increasing profits during a recession may sound backwards, but increasing the amount of money you spend on marketing your business instead of reducing it is one thing that can help your business make a profit during a recession. Countless businesses make the mistake of considering their marketing an expense instead of an investment and wind up destroying their businesses by cutting back in this area.

    The second tip is to use the power of leverage by hiring a business to business prospecting company to do outbound telemarketing for your business. This helps your team use their time more wisely.

    The next tip is to focus your efforts where they will be most effective, which is spending time closing sales. When the telemarketing programs do their job effectively your team can spend the majority of their time making sales which means increased profits for you.

    The fourth tip involves properly training your employees to work with the highly qualified leads they receive from these lead generation companies. Proper training will help them make the most of these leads and sales will go through the roof regardless of what is happening in the economy.

    The fifth tip for business success in tough economic times is to provide excellent customer service. Getting repeat business is much more cost effective and profitable than having to constantly prospect for new business so it is vital to keep your current customers happy.

    The sixth and final tip for business success in tough economic times is keeping a positive attitude. People have a tendency to create the exact amount of success they believe they will and your positive attitude will be reflected in your employees' attitudes and achievements as well as your own.

    Implementing the six ways listed above can help your business to increase profits during a recession. Business to business prospecting is one area to concentrate your marketing efforts in since this will make four of the six ways happen. Then all you have to worry about are the last two ways including treating your clients to outstanding service and maintaining an optimistic outlook.

    4. Secret Exposed: How the Google Search Engine Really Works
    By Henry Zeng

    While we don't often think about - or even care - how the Google search engine works, it is very important for an online marketer who is using search engine optimization, or natural search marketing for their online business to understand the basic principles that drive Google.

    There are three main parts to Google: Googlebot, The Indexer, and the Query Processor. Each of these three parts is crucial to online businesses, believe it or not. Let's take a deep look at each of these Google elements to see how they work.

    Googlebot is the search engine spider that comes to your website and spiders your pages. It isn't an actual spider, of course.

    It actually works more like a web browser by calling a server and requesting pages, and downloading them - just as you do when you open your browser, type in an URI, and then the web page loads.

    Googlebot, however, is run by big number of computers and performs this task much faster than one user could on their home or work personal computer. And Googlebot doesn't know if a website exists until a URL is put into their Add URL form, or until they find a link point to that site on another web page.

    When Googlebot comes to a page, they take all the links from that page, and put them in a queue for crawling, and repeat this process over and over again. Once Googlebot has found a link, and downloaded the page, it hands that page off to the Indexer.

    The Indexer stores the pages in Google's Index Data base. The Index then sorts all of the pages in its data base, alphabetically, by looking at all of the keywords on the pages. The Indexer does not pay any attention to what Google calls stop words, such as is, on, or, why, how, etc. It just pays attention to more important keyword type words.

    The Indexer, after Indexing pages, waits for the Google Query Processor to ask it for a list of documents. A keyword is given to the Query Processor, which in turn asks the Indexer for a list of stored websites contain that keyword.

    The Indexer then supplies the Query processor with a list of the documents, and the Query processor presents the documents to the user who requested the keyphrase.

    You see, each element is important to the others. It all starts with the Googlebot finding your web page link on another site, or by you going to Google and using the Add form to submit your site.

    8. Adelaide Small Business Need SEO
    By Dr S Ausman

    There are no secrets on how to rank high with the major search engines because effective search engine optimizations are now immense. What is search engine optimization? Before we discuss that thing, you have to understand first how search engines work and a bit of know-how.

    Search engines are into providing their users with the most relevant and up-to-date information to match the search term that was used. They are sophisticated pieces of technology which allow users to quickly find relevant websites by searching for a word or a phrase. Search engine results are useless to users if the information doesn't relate to the search term, or if the results are old. People expect the most up-to-date and fresh information that is useful to them.

    Updating your website everyday and adding some materials will help you get noticed by the search engines. So, if you are going to sell any type of product or service online, you have to optimize your website for the search engines, in order to boost traffic and sales. It is because over 90% of your business will likely come directly from search engine results. And for that reason, it is absolutely important to optimize your site for search engines for you to have the greatest deals in the entire world.

    Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process by which webmasters or online business owners utilize strategic copy to augment their website's status. It is certain that the internet has grown so fast over the years and the competition for the best search engine position has created an enormous market. Therefore, better understanding the fundamental elements of Search Engine Optimization is vital for an online business' success.

    Making use of effective search engine optimization techniques will improve the page rank of your website. There are many tricks that can be used to increase page rank; the most effective method is to provide high quality content consistently. This seems like a simple concept but there are many websites that fails to provide content that visitors find interesting. Sites which provide content that are interesting, well-written and regularly updated create highly engaged visitors who are more likely to return to the website in the coming days. So, if you can set your website apart from those boring, lifeless sites then do it. You'll surely have a step closer to achieving high page rank through search engine optimization.

    The next significant factor for an effective search engine optimization is to include keywords and phrases within your content. To make sure that you are properly targeting your market, you have to make sure that the keywords and phrases you have on your site are the keywords and phrase that your site is actually optimized for. The more keywords you use in your content, the more likely it is that online visitors will find your site when they do some research with those words. If you are unfailing with these techniques, then your overall search engine optimization will increase, boosting your page rank.

    You should also have to develop a linking strategy as a part of your search engine optimization. Not only does this provide free advertising for your site, but it makes the impression that your site is imperative because of its affiliated links. For each link that you have pointing back to you, that is another chance for your potential customer to find you. The more inbound links that you have pointing to your site, the higher you will be ranked in the search engines.

    Another is to develop a content stratagem. People who get to search from the internet are looking for information. The more information you provide for them and the more helpful it is, the more likely you will make the sale. Writing articles is the most effective way to build up content for your site. When writing articles to post on your site, make sure that you develop a clear means of arranging their content. You can do this by simply adding a new page to your site. This will allow room for extra articles to be added as you write them, and will allow you to build up an archive of articles which will maintain to draw online visitors. Make sure also that you have included your archived articles in a directory that is next to the root web of your site so that the search engines will catalog your online articles.

    Always keep in mind that search engine optimization methods are important in developing your site's status. With that thing in mind, make sure that you write high-quality, keyword rich content and link your site to and from a deliberate family of other sites. These things will help improve your site's popularity and coerce increased business through your online business.

    10. Get More Business with Autoresponders
    By David Jessee

    These days, most everyone is familiar with an autoresponder, although many don't know why they are beneficial to businesses. If you aren't familiar with autoresponders, you would probably find yourself amazed with them. An autoresponder can help your business by automatically emailing your clients and customers with a preset message that will help to increase your sales.

    An autoresponder can help your list of clients grow, even send each one of them their own personalized email message. If you choose, you can also follow up each individual email with repeated emails, varying the content whenever you wish. These programs will also allow you to keep track of conversations, and send out broadcast email messages whenever you have news or new products to offer your clients.

    As research in the past has shown, personalized email from autoresponders is a great way to boost your business. When you send a personalized email to one of your clients, the autoresponder by can address him or her by their name - which always makes a customer take notice. While you could do this yourself using traditional email, it could take you a few hours if you have a long list of customers.

    Autoresponders make sending personalized email a snap. All you need to do is set up your email template, then select where you like the name to go. You can add everyone in your customer list to the autoresponder, which makes sending emails a snap. Once you have everything ready to go, all you need to do is send out the emails with one simple click. Best of all, you don't have to set it up again when you need to send out broadcast messages.

    Although there are some people who will buy products after one or two emails, most people require about seven or eight emails before they will purchase anything. Autoresponders can really help you there, as they will do all of the emailing for you. You dont have to keep sending manual emails or anything like that. All you need to do is set up the email address, type in your preset message, and then feel free to send it as many times as you like.

    Through the use of an autoresponder you can really boost your business. If you run an Internet marketing business, this tool will prove to be invaluable. You can spend less time sending messages and more time doing what you enjoy. If you've never tried an autoresponder before, you owe it yourself to check out everything they will do for you and your business. Online businesses can get a lot of emails on a daily basis, which is where the autoresponder will really start to shine and show you just how great of an asset it really is.

    12. Adwords Management - 7 Keys to Success: Part 1
    By George Kristopher

    Most people advertising in Adwords today don't realize that they are losing tons of customers and leads all due to the fact that they don't know the 7 Key things they must do to set up a successful adwords campaign. If you follow these 7 key steps to setting up your adwords campaign, not only will your ad show up a lot higher in Google, but you'll also pay less per click than people advertising below you! Applying these 7 Crucial Steps will increase the amount of clicks you're getting per day and at the same time decrease the amount of money you're having to spend now!

    Optimize Your Campaign For Google Are all of your keywords stuffed into one or just a few adgroups? Google hates it when campaigns are like this and determines that your campaign has 0 Relevancy! I know this strategy works, so for all of my clients I make their campaigns Super Relevant by taking each individual keyword and putting it in ad adgroup all on it's own! I know, it's days worth of work, but it reduces their click cost by an incredible amount! If you don't follow crucial step #1 you're going to be slapped! This means that Google will charge you insane amounts of money for your clicks and give your ads horrible placement.

    Optimize your ads for Google The structure of your ads play a huge role in determining how much you pay per click. Just like in step #1 Google is obsessed with "Relevancy". Google's idea of a perfect ad actually has the keyword that was searched on show up twice in the ad; Once in the ad title, and once in the ad text. If Google see's that your ad displaying for the keyword, "injury attorney" actually has the keyword "injury attorney" appearing in your ad title and inyour ad text then Google is going to reward your ad for being perfectly relevant to the keyword that was searched on.

    Google is going to reward you in two ways, 1) by charging you less per click and 2) by giving your ad a higher ad placement! But that's not all! Who searches on the keyword "injury attorney" will be more inclined to click on your ad because the actual keyword they searched on shows up twice in your ad! That means that by optimizing your ads you get more clicks, you spend less, AND you get higher ad placement! It's a win win situation!

    You might ask, "Well how will I ever have time to write a super targeted ad like that for every keyword I have? That seems impossible!" Well, if you don't have time you should make time. My company write a super targeted ad for EVERY keyword that you have! It's a huge load of work, but we've found it's definitely worth it for our clients. Stay tuned for part 2 of this article series, on "Optimizing your site for Google and Keyword Swiping".

    16. Google Gets Voice
    Google GrandCentral has grown all up is being relaunched as Google Voice. This service will continue in beta testing with many new features. Grand Central was a start up "one-number access" telephone service that was purchased by Google soon after its debut.

    This service will be styled similar to the Skype telephony business model, in that some of the calls are free, and international long distance will be offered at attractive rates way below what normal phone charges would be. As an example, calls to Canada reportedly will be one cent per minute.

    This will be a great service for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and small office/home office workers, which now includes distance workers, telecommuters and digital nomads. Get in line and queue up for a free Google Voice number.

    From The Blogosphere:

    Google Voice Blog: Moving to Google Voice!

    We are happy to announce that we have made a number of improvements to GrandCentral and are relaunching the service as Google Voice.

    Google Voice Speaks of World Domination

    Google Voice is a free service that offers "one number for life," so I recently came across your blog and have been reading along.

    Get Ready For Google Voice

    The folks over at Google are working on a new project called Google Voice. According to the Google Blog site the first beta testing will be for GrandCentral [...]




    17. Depression Cooking Teaches
    Check out Google Trends this morning, and you will see that Great Depression Cooking tops the charts. The television news anchors are starting to own up to the fact that we are in a depression, and not just your ordinary run of the mill recession.

    Imports are down 24% and the economy in the US alone shrank over 6% in just one month. If you think there is any good news in this, it probably is only the fact we need to learn to individually become self reliant again. We can't sustain an economy where the only growth is in government.

    If you have already lost your job, and are scratching your head as to what you will do when the unemployment insurance runs out, you may have figured out that it probably won't be a job like you had before. We are headed back to a more mercantile style society, where we each make and trade goods and services. Do you believe you can now start your own small office-home office based on new skills found learned and linked on the Internet?

    If you are on your own SOHO quest, you may want to consider investing in and learning about working online. In many ways it is a quite separate and parallel economy. Almost unrelated to what is happening in the real world sector.

    An alternative avocation is taking up the art of Depression Style Cooking.




    18. SpiderWeb Will Rock the Web
    Whoa Baby! This blog is getting whiskers. Anyone that has followed my path will know that I now have been heavy into educating myself about Internet marketing. Thus, the reason for no posts.

    But I have been busy investigating. One of the schemes is a beta program known as The SpideWeb Marketing System. If you have seen it in passing, but did not consider it...keep looking. This had the potential to be the next big monetizing scheme for the web.


    Many have tried to create a self-sustained or auto-pilot system. This supposedly started out with 12 streams of income, but now has 22. I have a gut feeling you have to work it like any other business.

    It still is in beta, so don't hope for much. I had numerous conversation with the owners and management team of this system about creating an inner circle training program. Alas, everyone wants something for nothing. You can generate free leads, but then you have to know what to do with them.

    Check out my blog on the subject, too, at "The SpiderWeb System Information and Reviews".


    19. How to Produce 365 Videos in One Year
    (Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

    If you have been involved in the blogosphere for long, you know that many bloggers are gravitating towards video aka Video blogs, Vlogs, Vidcasts, or a Video Podcast.

    This is a heads up on Mark Wielgus at 45n5.com. Mark is on top of online trends, and I am here to tell you that he researches, tests, and reports on things you will come to appreciate on a daily basis. All the information in this post was gleaned from 45n5. My belief is that Mark combines some marketing savvy with geekdom knowhow. He even writes simple, but useful utility programs and then gives them away for free on the blog. Here is a recent link to one he dubs "Keyword Scrubber".

    45n5.com has turned into one of the few blogs I simply must check out on a daily basis. Now Mark is committed to deciphering Affiliate Marketing as a top priority. Another project he is combining with this effort is his personal mission to produce and post a video every day in 2008.

    I think with 365 videos in the planning, his little experiment is one to watch for trends, plus the techniques, tips and tricks he is bound to uncover along the way. So, if you want to make 365 videos in one year, watch this guy in 2008 and I think you will learn something.



    20. Prioritize Your Blogging for 2008
    (Archived in: Social Media Marketing Social Media Optimization)

    Welcome to the New Year! I have been spending the last week planning for 2008, which has included changes to my blogging style. If you follow my blogs, you know that I have decided to concentrate on Digital Nomads and The Rugged Notebooks Blog as my main focus for blogging, and with less frequent posting to this blog and The Sovereign Journey.

    This is not for a lack or loss of interest, but merely a necessity of time management. Regardless, my blog niche revolves around the central theme of mobility and using technology to be independent. So, you can always check back here and/or catch my more frequent updates at the Rugged Notebooks or Digital Nomads sites. My plan this year is to move to private domains.

    One thing I have been doing is writing more focused posts...themed, if you will, or a series of posts on a subject of interest. Recently, this has had a major slant towards telecom, and in particular new gadgets like MagicJack and VoIP telephoney solutions like Google GrandCentral.

    I am finding that being more focused on a particular subject area makes it easier and more interesting to research, test, review, and write. I think my readers appreciate it a well and it is helping in the SERPS.

    If you are still blogging, drop me a line and let me know how you are getting on. There seems to have been a drop in the number of friends I met online in 2007 that have continued to blog, or scaled back like I have. -Digital Nomad


    21. Twelve Step Program for Email Addicts
    (Archived in: Online Usability Reviews)

    I saw this over at the BigString 2.0 website and thought it was good advice. BigString is an interesting concept in itself, which I will let you discover for yourself. These 12 items have been edited somewhat, so not to get dinged for duplicate content. There were some typos in the original text anyway. Enjoy.

    1. Do not send email when you are angry. Wait until you calm down before you send that email. Feelings and thoughts can be difficult to interpret and easily misconstrued.

    2. Never send a sarcastic email that could be taken out of context. Sarcasm and email do not mix. You can easily offend someone in an email without intent to do so.

    3. Do not send email gossip. You never know where the email will end up. Just make a commitment to yourself not to participate in any gossip.

    4. Never end significant relationships via email. Email is the equivalent of an electronic paper trail. Not good for any sour ending, whether business or personal.

    5. If you don't want your boss or coworkers to see it, better not send that email from work.

    6. Never put anything in writing that may come back to haunt you. A good overall policy. Not just for email.

    7. Never, ever, hit ‘Reply to All’ when you just want to send an email to one individual.

    8. Don’t email pictures of yourself to others. Especially, online acquaintances and complete strangers.

    9. Don’t make promises or commitments via email that you cannot or will not keep.

    10. When you send attachments, be sure that you have selected the correct files and documents.

    11. Good advice from New York Governor Elliot Spitzer, “Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email.â€

    12. Try BigString recallable email. If you do happen to make errors...the recallable, erasable, and non-forwardable features will help to correct such mistakes.



    22. How to Build 10-Minute Affiliate Website Mashups
    (Archived in: Online Income Reviews)

    If you are searching for ways to be innovative with your online marketing, then here is another plug for many of the ideas featured at 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. No, this is not a paid post.

    This is the good stuff, it's an addendum to the post on "30 Websites in 30 Days", and Mark calls this his YouTube-Ebay-Amazon Affiliate Website Mashup Thingy.



    I have had a few email exchanges with Mark, and these are a few of his cautionary thoughts by way of how he has explained the ideas behind how it should work. Most people will not succeed with this mashup concept, or any other website scripting without the underlying concept and knowledge (or experience from learning) of how to build such a niche site.

    Cranking out "out of the box" and rubber stamp solutions is what everybody else is doing. Doing the same thing that everyone else is doing online will bring the same results...which happens to be not making any money online. This also happens to mirror Einstein's theory of insanity, and he was no dummy. It's also making many people wealthy for some pretty worthless online information products.

    So, if you use the script out of the box, most of your money will be made from luck or successful keyword research (aka) what words and topics you use to build these niche minisites in mass production.

    Now is the time to learn. Take the time to consider doing it right. - Digital Nomad

    A 25 Year Old Entrepreneur Making a Living Online from Home


    You probably have read about or heard of The Rich Jerk and Chis X of Day Job Killer. If not you better stop and do a Google search right now. About 2 years ago, Holly Mann, a young mother started to successfully market directly against high profile Internet marketing gurus like these guys.

    Living in a foreign country with no job and few resources, Holly decided she could research, design, and deliver a kinder and gentler approach to online marketing. Evidently she found her niche selling "How-To" information, because she has become successful in a short period of time (well, a couple of years).

    "Honest Riches 2" is a 95 page proven guide. Holly shows all the techniques she has used to make money online through affiliate programs starting with no website and no start-up money, then on to free websites that can easily be setup with little or no experience, including free advertising that most people don't know or think about.

    Yes, it seems possible to make money online and work from home just about anywhere (Holly lives in Thailand), but don't quit your day job just yet. You need a system and you need the right tools and knowledge to be successful. Changing your career is a life altering decision.

    Before taking the leap, do plenty of due diligence and adequate research for information and resources about starting an online business and becoming an online entrepreneur. This e-book is geared for beginners, but is a valuable resource for all online marketers. No "get-rich-quick" schemes here....like any real business endeavor, it involves some effort and some work. But you will learn strategies and techniques to start making money right away.

    24. John Chow Calls It Quits on Agloco
    (Archive in: Weblogs and Business)

    After many attempts at beating a dead horse, everyone involved in the Agloco fiasco can now uncross their fingers. It ain't gonna happen. Even John Chow has finally admitted defeat along with almost 30,000 signed up in his Agloco network.


    Here is a partial screenshot of his last post on the subject, and here is a link to the post about the Agloco demise at TechCruch. Like John says...it shows that all those MBAs don't always muster up success, even the second time around. For posterity, watch the video on the Agloco viewbar attributes, and think about all the gurus that were on board for this.



    25. How to Build 30 Websites in 30 Days
    (Archive in Ecommerce SOHO Online Usability)

    It may sound implausible, but it is not impossible. Follow this Digital Nomad and you know that just feeding the blogs is not going to cut it anymore. Blogging should be part of your online marketing network, but not a diversion.

    I have been searching heavy for the folks that are making it online and not the wannabes. One such source is 45n5.com authored by Mark Wielgus. This guy tells it straight. You have to hunt an peck to find the good stuff, and you will have to piece it together, but I think a good start is on this website.

    Mark will show you how to find a niche, create a website in 10 minutes, and then shove it in the pipeline with some SEO tricks. Theoretically, there is no reason why you could not do this everyday for a month and then have 30 minisites up and running for affiliate programs in thirty days. That's if you want to have a website between you and the merchant.



    I am finding that you maybe don't even need a website to market affiliate programs, but you do have to commit to spending some money for Google Adword campaigns. Better have a pad and pen ready.

    There is always something to learn. Take the time to learn something new each day. - Digital Nomad


    American Jobs: Going, Going...
    Jane Birnbaum
    2005
    Reprinted from: AFLCIO.org

    Corporations are escalating efforts to ship out jobs that pay well and build the middle class—and now they are aiming their axes at workers in the nation’s fast-growing white-collar sector.

    The U.S. recession that began in March 2001 officially ended in November 2001, say the National Bureau of Economic Research and other analysts.

    So why are so many workers still out of jobs?

    “We’ve declared victory over the recession, and we’re still laying off a couple hundred thousand workers a month,” says Rep. Pete Stark (D-Calif.). “If it weren’t so painful for so many people who are out of work, it would be hilarious. But it isn’t.”

    The U.S. economy has 3.2 million fewer jobs today than it did when President George W. Bush took office, including 2.5 million fewer manufacturing jobs. Bush appears headed for the dubious distinction of being the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a decline in total employment during his term in office.

    In the past three years, nearly one in five U.S. workers was laid off from the job, according to The Disposable Worker: Living in a Job-Loss Economy, a Rutgers University¡V University of Connecticut report released in late July. Among workers laid off from full-time work, roughly one-fourth were earning less than $40,000 annually, the report finds.

    In July, a total of 15 million U.S. workers were either unemployed, underemployed or too discouraged to job hunt, according to the Labor Department.

    In contrast, within a year after the official end of the last recession in March 1991, the nation had embarked on six straight months of solid job growth.

    This time, say economists, there are crucial differences: Companies are sending well-paying manufacturing and service jobs to countries with few, if any, protections for workers and the environment. And these jobs are probably not coming back.

    “The movement of jobs and production overseas is handcuffing the recovery,” according to Mark Xandi, chief economist at Economy.com, as quoted in the New York Times.

    “With NAFTA, the World Trade Organization and other trade deals of the last decade, American corporations are now tapping into a global supply of workers who can be trained to do everything from design to production, maintenance to marketing,” says Jeff Faux, economist and founding president of the Economic Policy Institute. “And while these workers become more productive, their pay doesn’t rise, because in many of these countries, to be a labor organizer means you risk winding up in a ditch with a bullet in your head.”

    American jobs sent out of the country aren’t likely to return anytime soon. “As long as employers can take advantage of much lower labor costs in other countries, there’s no compelling reason to bring back many of these well-paying jobs,” says Ron Hira, an engineer and assistant professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. “Policymakers seem to be at a loss as to what to do about this problem.”

    Meanwhile, the Bush administration directs multimillion-dollar tax cuts to the wealthy while supporting trade laws that encourage offshore outsourcing. And even as Bush opposes unemployment insurance extensions for some 1 million Americans who have exhausted their benefits, his administration refuses to embrace job-creating programs that would repair the nation’s infrastructure and help balance devastated state budgets.

    “The Bush administration doesn’t seem to care about jobs,” says Center for Economic and Policy Research co-founder Dean Baker. “To retain and create jobs, there have to be policy changes, and I don’t think this administration is willing to make them.”

    Manufacturing: America’s Foundation Is Crumbling
    Photo Credit: Bill Burke/Page One
    “American taxpayers...do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs.”
    —USWA President Leo Gerard

    Manufacturing jobs traditionally have provided high wages and good benefits that allow workers to care for their families. But 2.5 million manufacturing jobs have disappeared since President Bush took office in early 2001.

    Multinational corporations are transferring jobs to countries where workers earn low wages and have few or no protections. And small U.S. businesses are laying off workers or shutting their doors because they can’t meet foreign competitors’ prices.

    African American workers have been hit particularly hard. Because of manufacturing job losses, the unemployment rate among African Americans is rising twice as fast as it is for whites and faster than in any downturn since the mid-1970s. “The number of jobs and the types of jobs that have been lost has severely diminished the standing of many blacks in the middle class,” says William Lucy, president of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and AFSCME secretary-treasurer.

    Manufacturing job loss starts the downward spiral

    The loss of good manufacturing jobs has ripped apart communities and permanently lowered living standards for families throughout the United States, including in Rockford, Ill., 70 miles from Chicago. The northern Illinois city is historically second only to Cleveland as a center for machine tooling, the making of tools used in machine manufacturing.

    Machine tooling, which traditionally employs the most highly skilled manufacturing workers including members of the Machinists and UAW, is the bedrock of America’s manufacturing industry.

    But the bedrock is crumbling. The Rockford area lost more than 20 percent of its manufacturing jobs—about 10,000—between May 2000 and 2003, according to MBG Information Services President and Economist Charles McMillion’s analysis of Department of Labor data.
    General manufacturing jobs have been among those lost in Rockford, including jobs held by Steelworkers Local 745 members at the Goodyear tire plant. USWA members at Goodyear now number 750, down from 1,650 in 1999, before the corporation shipped the jobs to Asia and South America.

    But most manufacturing jobs lost in Rockford have been in machine tooling. At Greenlee/Textron, which makes drill bits and tools for electrical contractors, about 180 Machinists now represented by IAM Local 1553 are employed today, down from about 900 in the late 1980s. The 112-year-old crown jewel of Rockford machine tooling—Ingersoll International—declared bankruptcy this spring and laid off 300 employees in Rockford and 70 in Michigan, leaving only skeleton crews of managers and a few contract workers.

    “The lesson of Rockford,” says Faux, “is it disproves the free traders’ argument that America could afford to lose manufacturing jobs in areas like textiles and steel because we would ultimately triumph in global competition by making the things hardest to make. In fact, those things are machine tools—and we’re losing them.”

    A loss of manufacturing jobs reverberates throughout the community—and ultimately the nation. When manufacturing factories aren’t being built, maintained or expanded, jobs disappear in areas such as construction.

    “Our union has about 30 percent unemployment,” says Mark Bramble, business agent for Electrical Workers Local 364 in Rockford. “Guys burn through their unemployment, lose all their benefits, get divorced and then go where the grass looks greener or settle for working as a greeter at Wal-Mart.”

    A question of national security

    There’s a sense of betrayal in Rockford these days. “Free trade was sold to America with the line that it helps us export more goods,” says Eric Anderberg, who manages his family’s 37-year-old machine tool company, Dial Machines Inc. “But what’s happened is the exportation of our jobs and means of production so multinational corporations can exploit foreign labor and sell their goods back to us.”

    Today Dial employs 40 workers, down from 75 in the late 1990s. It recently lost work to a lower-bidding Czech Republic manufacturer that nabbed a contract making parts for a supplier of General Electric Wind Energy Corp.

    Anderberg and other Rockford employers worry that a Chinese government-owned machine tooling company, which already has bought two divisions of Ingersoll International, may now be poised to buy another—one containing intellectual property, including high-level research and design and military technology. “I cannot understand how our government can justify not only the debasement of our manufacturing industries but also our national security in a time of war,” he says.

    The Rockford community and U.S. national security would get a boost from Buy America provisions House Armed Services Committee Chair Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) added to legislation authorizing the 2004 Pentagon budget.

    Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), who represents the Rockford area and helped write the bill, says, “The Pentagon wouldn’t care if everything it buys is made in China.” Joined by armsmakers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, the White House says the Buy America provisions are “burdensome, counterproductive and have the potential to degrade U.S. military capabilities.” But the administration does not mention jobs.

    “American steelworkers are also American taxpayers, and they do not want their tax dollars subsidizing the export of their jobs,” says USWA President Leo Gerard.

    White-Collar Jobs: America’s Growing Export

    Ask anyone which sector of the U.S. economy comes to mind as the most likely to be shipped overseas, and chances are he or she will say manufacturing.

    But though the United States lost 2.5 million manufacturing jobs since the Bush presidency beginning in 2001, U.S. corporations now are racing to outsource white-collar jobs—including work in computer sciences, engineering, entertainment, financial and medical services—to countries where workers earn far less.

    Terry Antisdel was a Chicago-area engineering associate for Lucent Technologies Inc. and its predecessor AT&T for 35 years until his entire 42-member International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers Local 81 was laid off in July. He figures his job will end up in India or China. “The words management used were a 'less-expensive offshore site,’ ” recalls Antisdel, who estimates Lucent will send a total of about 5,000 U.S. jobs offshore this year. “I feel let down,” he says. “Companies used to provide jobs for people, but now they’re just there to give money to executives, board members and shareholders.”

    In late July, the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers (WashTech), a Communications Workers of America affiliated group that helps high-tech workers win a voice at work, released a tape of a conference call in which IBM’s top human relations executives discussed transferring 3 million U.S. service jobs to countries such as China and India by 2015.

    Testifying in June before a House Committee on Small Business investigating the globalization of white-collar jobs, AFL-CIO Department for Professional Employees President Paul Almeida said, “If these cost-saving jobs shifts are taken to their logical extreme, even American corporations should be wondering where their future consumers will be located and how they will buy the goods and services.”

    A Forrester Research study predicts U.S. employers will move about 3.3 million white-collar service jobs and $136 billion in wages overseas in the next 15 years, up from $4 billion in 2000.

    White-collar jobs going and gone

    The jobs already are leaving. By the end of this year, General Electric will have sent a total of 20,000 aircraft and medical research and design jobs to India and China, according to Business Week. And the Accenture consulting firm, which incorporated in Bermuda after splitting from Enron accountant Arthur Andersen, plans to send 5,000 accounting and software jobs to the Philippines in 2004, the magazine says.

    According to WashTech, Microsoft plans to eliminate at least 800 full-time call-center jobs near Dallas and shift the work to India and Canada in the next fiscal year. It would be the largest one-time firing of full-time Microsoft employees in the company’s history. WashTech says a Microsoft senior vice president recently urged company managers to “pick something to move offshore today,” though Microsoft publicly has repeated it will not lay off U.S. workers and send the jobs offshore.

    While the Bush administration remains silent about offshore outsourcing, states such as New Jersey are considering corrective measures. New Jersey legislators acted after the state outsourced the electronic administration of welfare and food stamp benefits to a company that then sent the jobs to India. When New Jersey citizens called to ask about benefits, they were connected with Indian workers who gave Americanized names.

    A bill authored by state Assembly member Linda Greenstein (D) would have required such offshore subcontractors to disclose to New Jersey residents their employers’ true names and locations. But even this common- sense measure had no chance in the face
    of massive opposition launched by Indian and American corporate interests, such as Verizon.

    “We got a copy of an e-mail Verizon sent managers in New Jersey, thanking them for sending 1,800 e-mails opposing the bill,” says Don Rice, CWA’s New Jersey legislative coordinator. Activists and legislators hope to bring the bill to a vote before the legislative session ends this year.

    U.S. security at stake

    Offshore outsourcing of white-collar work also raises security concerns. U.S. firms are sending mapping and other such work to India, Pakistan, China, the Philippines and other countries with lower labor costs, says John Palatiello, administrator of the Council on Federal Procurement of Architectural and Engineering Services.

    “This practice raises issues regarding access to data about the location of¡Kcritical infrastructure by individuals in foreign countries who have not been through any degree of security clearance and where control of access to data simply does not exist.”

    Bush’s January 2002 State of the Union address made clear the danger of access to data by unfriendly foreign operatives: “Our discoveries in Afghanistan confirmed our worst fears....We have found diagrams of American nuclear power plants and public water facilities¡Ksurveillance maps of American cities and thorough descriptions of landmarks in America.”

    Activists are demanding Congress review trade and tax policies that encourage white-collar offshore outsourcing. Without government intervention, warns Almeida, “short-sighted corporate policy focused on saving a few bucks in the short run will have an enormous deleterious impact on the entire U.S. economy.”

    Low-Wage Jobs: Betray America’s Workers

    Photo Credit: Ernie Englander/The New Press

    Laid-off U.S. workers thrust into a hostile job market are discovering another ugly part of the American economy: low-wage work that pays too little to keep even a small family out of poverty.

    Nearly a quarter of all U.S. workers labor in jobs that pay little but are essential to society. Sixty percent of these workers are female, and many are people of color. They care for nursing home patients and clean offices at night. They prepare food, answer call-center phones and care for our children.

    These jobs generally pay less than the $8.85 hourly wage the U.S. government says it takes to keep a family of four out of poverty. Even so, many low-wage jobs offer only part-time hours, with few or no benefits. And workers in low-paying but essential jobs often are treated as disposable, quickly fired if they get sick or stay home with a sick child.

    As more good jobs leave the country, the percentage of low-wage jobs keeps growing. By 2010, about 30 percent of working Americans won’t be making even poverty wages, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. A Labor Department list of the 10 occupations likely to show the largest job growth this decade is dominated by jobs that typically pay poorly—food preparation, customer service, office clerking, security and food service.

    This world of low-wage jobs and the workers who do them is illuminated in The Betrayal of Work: How Low-Wage Jobs Fail 35 Million Americans, published on Labor Day by the New Press. “Traditionally, there was a promise in this country that if you worked hard, you could take care of your family,” explains author Beth Shulman, an attorney and former United Food and Commercial Workers vice president. “That promise has been broken¡Kand we have built our national prosperity on their backs.”

    No job is inherently low wage

    Workers in low-wage jobs frequently are labeled as lacking skills and in need of training to move into better-paying positions. But while education is a traditional route to higher pay, Shulman contends no job is inherently low wage.
    “Take autoworkers, who had horrible jobs that became good ones because of unions and social legislation,” she says. “The same thing must happen with currently low-paying service- sector jobs. In Las Vegas, for example, the housekeeper represented by the Hotel Employees Restaurant Employees has decent wages and benefits thanks to unionization.”

    Low-wage jobs tend to imprison the workers who perform them because of what Shulman calls a “piling on” of hardships. Workers in low-wage jobs are unlikely to have sick leave or health insurance or make enough money to afford reliable transportation or child day care. At the same time, they are likely to be in inflexible situations in which being late or missing work can result in a quick firing.

    “It’s not just that you make less money in these jobs, but you have none of the basic things many of us take for granted, such as health insurance, time to care for a family member, adequate child care, some kind of retirement security, even a telephone,” Shulman says. “And this applies to one in four U.S. workers.”

    Gap is growing between U.S. rich and poor

    As low-wage work continues to replace jobs that pay well, the U.S. economy increasingly resembles that of a less-developed nation, with a wide gulf between rich and poor. Among all western industrialized nations, the United States has the greatest income and wage inequalities, with the best-paid 10 percent of workers making 16.6 times the amount made by the lowest-paid 10 percent, according to a 2003 analysis by the United Nations Development Program. “That’s the way we’ve been moving for some time now and continue to move,” says Heather Boushey, a Center for Economic and Policy Research economist.

    To reverse this trend, the United States needs to change the rules of the game, according to Shulman. “For starters, we should immediately raise the minimum hourly wage to the poverty guideline for a family of four—$8.85 an hour versus the current $5.15 hourly federal minimum wage—and then have automatic increases so there’s not a big political battle every time it needs raising. Then, all Americans should have access to affordable health care. There are a variety of ways to do this, and we should just get it done.

    “Finally, all American workers should be able to care for their children—to have access to affordable child care, and to stay with them when they’re sick or go to a PTA meeting without getting fired. The consequences for the children of today’s low-wage workers are enormous—they’re following their parents into this low-wage world.”


    Companies in India celebrate
    "loss of American jobs"
    Mike Crane
    December 2004
    Reprinted from: Southern Party of Georgia website

    In our previous article we reported how various companies in India were employed by the Republican National Committee and the Bush Re-election campaign (see: India claims big election victory and laughs at Americans).

    One interesting comment that was documented in that article was:

    As Vivek Paul, Wipro VC, said after the Presidential poll, “The elections are over and so is the rhetoric; it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans.”

    Well a little research has found some estimates from within India about what that meant. First and foremost, it means that India is celebrating the "loss of American jobs." Folks, that is the jobs of friends, family or perhaps even your own.

    Specifically on November 4, with time zone changes, roughly a day after the polls close the following was published in the India Times:

    The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

    And that is why they believe that "it will be easier for American corporations to step out with their outsourcing plans." Does this mean that American companies put their plans on "hold" to minimize the impact on a close election?

    But the folks in India gloat a little more:

    Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

    A brief look at these numbers show what they call a documented American job loss of 48,237 for the first quarter of 2004. On an annual basis this would be 192,968 American jobs. And they expect American companies to now - step out - with their outsourcing plans.

    Some will say that 192,968 jobs is not very many. But as you will see in coming articles that is just what is called BPO and is not the whole picture.

    Lets look at the effect of three policies that affect American jobs:

    1. Outsourcing - In this article it has been shown that it is at least close to 200,00 jobs a year for the BPO segment and expected to increase
    2. H1-B visa program - allows high tech foreigners to take American jobs here without being counted in immigration totals. Used by many companies to train personnel for their foreign outsourcing programs. There are roughly a million H1-B visas active today.
    3. Legal immigration of about 1 million a year and illegal immigration of about 3 million a year resulting in lower American wages and increased social costs.

    Ladies and gentlemen, you are paying the salaries of the elected and appointed officials who are doing this to you. Is this what you want to pay for? If so, why are you reading material on this web site?

    If not, you are being ignored!

    It should be obvious to all that this trend can not continue forever. Are there any signs that it is getting better:

    A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

    That should answer that question beyond a reasonable doubt. Interesting that 15% of the outsourcing chief executives favor Red China! Remember these are the folks that make the big campaign contributions that have so much influence on many of your elected officials. How will you feel when YOUR job is sent to Red China?

    If you do not agree with these policies you are being ignored and your elected officials are representing special interests more than you! If you believe that this is a serious problem it is time to get involved now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be stop these destructive trends.

    The BPO and your elected officials are doing offshore calculus, are you?

    BPO biggies do offshore calculus
    TIMES NEWS NETWORK [ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2004 02:13:09 PM]

    India’s silicon valley is delighted to move out of the limelight. The industry is quietly celebrating that outsourcing and loss of American jobs will not be the hot-button issues any more.

    BPO bigwigs are already computing the gains from mega-offshoring plans on hold waiting for US presidential race to be over.

    Though most of the industry majors refuse to comment on who will safeguard their interests better, they feel that economic benefits of transfer of jobs to low cost destinations will now overshadow the political rhetoric against outsourcing in the run up to the US poll.

    The US presidential election was fueling the protests against job losses due to transfer of jobs.

    “American law will remain the same and the outsourcing will go up irrespective of who wins. Already, we see our clients getting ready for bigger offshoring plans,’’ says head of a leading Delhi-based BPO firm. Insiders also feel the American clients might be more open to talk about their outsourcing plans to low-cost destinations like India now.

    Though Kerry’s tax proposals that seek to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas could deter fence-sitter, analysts feel they are no more than short-term sentiment dampeners. After initially branding the shipping of jobs to countries like India and China as a threat to the US economy, Kerry has gone on record saying he can’t stop outsourcing.

    Clearly, what is of greater concern is that a clear decision comes soon, irrespective of whether it favours Bush or Kerry. Though Bush is more popular, the $ 2.6 billion BPO industry is convinced that “it will soon be difficult to differentiate between Democrats and Republicans.

    Obviously sector’s fate is closely tied up with the US elections, with US accounting for over 70 % of India’s IT exports. A recent study of A T Kearney shows that nine out of 10 chief executives wanted to outsource to India. 25 % of the respondents wanted IT and auto component work to be given to India, 15 % favoured China and 13 % Mexico.

    Of the documented jobs that left the US for other countries in January through March 2004, 23,396 went to Mexico, 8,283 to China, 3,895 to India, 4,419 to other Asian countries, 5,511 to Latin American countries other than Mexico and 2,933 to other countries.

     


    Costly Trade With China
    Millions of U.S. jobs displaced
    Robert E. Scott
    October 9, 2007
    Reprinted from: Economic Policy Institute

    Contrary to the predictions of its supporters, China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has failed to reduce its trade surplus with the United States or increase overall U.S. employment. The rise in the U.S. trade deficit with China between 1997 and 2006 has displaced production that could have supported 2,166,000 U.S. jobs. Most of these jobs (1.8 million) have been lost since China entered the WTO in 2001. Between 1997 and 2001, growing trade deficits displaced an average of 101,000 jobs per year, or slightly more than the total employment in Manchester, New Hampshire. Since China entered the WTO in 2001, job losses increased to an average of 353,000 per year—more than the total employment in greater Akron, Ohio. Between 2001 and 2006, jobs were displaced in every state and the District of Columbia. Nearly three-quarters of the jobs displaced were in manufacturing industries. Simply put, the promised benefits of trade liberalization with China have been unfulfilled.

    As a matter of policy, China tightly pegs its currency's value to that of the dollar at a rate that encourages a large bilateral surplus with the United States. Maintaining this peg required the purchase of about $200 billion in U.S. Treasury Bills and other securities in 2006 alone.1 This intervention makes the yuan artificially cheap and provides an effective subsidy on Chinese exports; best estimates are that the rate of this effective subsidy is roughly 40%. China also engages in extensive suppression of labor rights; it has been estimated that wages in China would be 47% to 85% higher in the absence of labor repression. China has also been accused of massive direct subsidization of export production. Finally, it maintains strict, non-tariff barriers to imports. As a result, China's exports to the United States of $288 billion in 2006 were six times greater than U.S. exports to China, which were only $52 billion (Table 1). China's trade surplus was responsible for 42.6% of the United States' total, non-oil trade deficit. This is by far the United States' most imbalanced trading relationship. Unless and until China revalues (raises) the yuan and eliminates these other trade distortions, the U.S. trade deficit and job losses will continue to grow rapidly in the future.

    Major findings of this study:

    • The 1.8 million jobs opportunities lost nationwide since 2001 are distributed among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, with the biggest losers, in numeric terms: California (-269,300), Texas (-136,900), New York (-105,900), Illinois (-79,900), Pennsylvania (-78,200), North Carolina (-77,200), Florida (-71,900), Ohio (-66,100), Georgia (-60,400), and Massachusetts (-59,300) (Table 2A).

    • The 10 hardest-hit states, as a share of total state employment, are: New Hampshire (-13,000, -2.1%), North Carolina (-77,200, -2.0%), California (-269,300, -1.8%), Massachusetts (-59,300, -1.8%), Rhode Island (-8,400, -1.8%), South Carolina (-29,200, -1.6%), Vermont (-4,900, -1.6%), Oregon (-25,700, -1.6%), Indiana (-45,200, -1.5%), and Georgia (-60,400, -1.5%) (Table 2B).

    China's entry into the WTO was supposed to bring it into compliance with an enforceable, rules-based regime, which would require that it open its markets to imports from the United States and other nations. The United States also negotiated a series of special safeguard measures designed to limit the disruptive effects of surging Chinese imports on domestic producers. However, the core of the agreement failed to include any protections to maintain or improve labor or environmental standards. As a result, China's entry into the WTO has further tilted the international economic playing field against domestic workers and firms, and in favor of multinational companies (MNCs) from the United States and other countries, and state- and privately-owned exporters in China. This has increased the global "race to the bottom" in wages and environmental quality and caused the closing of thousands of U.S. factories, decimating employment in a wide range of communities, states, and entire regions of the United States.

    False promises

    Proponents of China's entry into the WTO frequently claimed that it would create jobs in the United States, increase U.S. exports, and improve the trade deficit with China. President Clinton claimed that the agreement allowing China into the WTO, which was negotiated during his administration, "creates a win-win result for both countries" (Clinton 2000, 9). He argued that exports to China "now support hundreds of thousands of American jobs" and that "these figures can grow substantially with the new access to the Chinese market the WTO agreement creates" (Clinton 2000, 10). Others in the White House, such as Kenneth Liberthal, the special advisor to the president and senior director for Asia affairs at the National Security Council, echoed Clinton's assessment:

    Let's be clear as to why a trade deficit might decrease in the short term. China exports far more to the U.S. than it imports [from] the U.S….It will not grow as much as it would have grown without this agreement and over time clearly it will shrink with this agreement.2

    Promises about jobs and exports misrepresented the real effects of trade on the U.S. economy: trade both creates and destroys jobs. Increases in U.S. exports tend to create jobs in the United States, but increases in imports tend to destroy jobs as imports displace goods that otherwise would have been made in the United States by domestic workers.

    The impact of changes in trade on employment is estimated here by calculating the labor content of changes in the trade balance—the difference between exports and imports. Each $1 billion in computer exports to China from the United States supports American jobs. However, each $1 billion in computer imports from China displaces those American workers, who would have been employed making them in the United States. On balance, the net employment effect of trade flows depends on the growth in the trade deficit; not just exports. Another critically important promise made by the promoters of liberalized U.S.-China trade was that the United States would benefit because of increased exports to a large and growing consumer market in China. This market, in turn, was to be based on an expansion of the middle class that, it was claimed, would grow rapidly due to the wealth created in China by its entry into the WTO. However, the increase in U.S. exports to China has been overwhelmed by the growth of U.S. imports, as shown below.

    Growing trade deficits and job losses

    The U.S. trade deficit with China has increased from $50 billion in 1997 to $235 billion in 2006, an increase of $185 billion, as shown in Table 1. Between 1997 and 2001, prior to China's entry into the WTO, the deficit increased $9 billion per year on average. Between 2001 and 2006, after China entered the WTO, the deficit increased $30 billion per year on average.

    While it is true that exports support jobs in the United States, it is equally true that imports displace them. The net effect of trade flows on employment must look at the trade balance. The employment impacts of growing trade deficits are estimated in this paper using an input-output model that estimates the direct and indirect labor requirements of producing output in a given domestic industry. The model includes 200 U.S. industries, 86 of which are in the manufacturing sector (see this paper's methodology appendix for further details).3

    The model estimates the labor that would be required to produce a given volume of exports, and the labor that is displaced when a given volume of imports is substituted for domestic output.4 The job losses presented here represent an estimate of what sectoral employment levels would have been in the absence of growing trade deficits.5

    U.S. exports to China in 1997 supported 138,000 jobs, but U.S. imports displaced production that would have supported 736,000 jobs, as shown in the bottom half of Table 1. Therefore, the $49 billion trade deficit in 1997 displaced 736,300 jobs in that year. Job displacement rose to 1,000,000 jobs in 2001 and 2,763,000 in 2006. Prior to China's entry into the WTO, an average of 101,000 jobs per year were displaced by growing trade deficits between 1997 and 2001. After 2001, an average of 353,000 jobs per year were lost.

    Growth in trade deficits with China has reduced demand for goods produced in every region of the United States and has led to job displacement in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as shown in Table 2A and Figure A.6 More than 100,000 jobs were lost in California, Texas, and New York each. Jobs displaced due to growing deficits with China equaled or exceeded 2.0% of total employment in states such as North Carolina and New Hampshire, as shown in Table 2B. An alphabetical list of job losses by state is shown in Table 2C.

    Figure A

    Table 2c

    Growing trade deficits with China have clearly reduced domestic employment in traded goods industries, especially in the manufacturing sector, which has been hard hit by plant closings and job losses. Workers displaced by trade from the manufacturing sector have been shown to have particular difficulty in securing comparable employment elsewhere in the economy. More than one-third of workers displaced from manufacturing drop out of the labor force (Kletzer 2001, 101, Table D2). Average wages of those who secured re-employment fell 11% to 13%. Trade-related job displacement pushes many workers out of good jobs in manufacturing and other trade-related industries, often into lower-paying industries and frequently out of the labor market.

    Some economists have quibbled with job-loss numbers extrapolated from trade flows, based on the presumption that aggregate employment levels in the United States are set by a broad range of macroeconomic influences, not just by trade flows. There is a grain of truth to this—the trade balance is but one of many variables affecting aggregate job creation in the United States.

    That said, the employment impacts of trade identified in this paper can be interpreted as the "all else equal" effect of trade on domestic employment. The Federal Reserve, for example, may decide to cut interest rates to make up for job loss stemming from deteriorating trade balances (or any other economic influence), leaving net employment unchanged. This, however, does not change the fact that trade deficits by themselves are a net drain on employment.

    Administration officials and other economists have argued that the capital inflow that is the mirror-image of trade deficits supports jobs in the United States by keeping interest rates lower than they would be absent this inflow. During the late 1990s, for example, these capital inflows fought rising trade deficits to a draw in terms of aggregate employment effects, and, through much of the 2000s recovery, interest-sensitive industries (housing and construction, for example) have surely expanded more than they would have absent foreign capital inflows. While these claims may be correct from a simple accounting standpoint, they do not support assertions that trade flows are a useless indicator of job loss.

    First, and most simply, it is just not true that foreign capital inflows always make up trade-induced employment losses one-for-one. In the 2001 recession and the jobless recovery following, growing trade deficits accompanied aggregate job loss, even as interest rates scraped historical bottoms. Clearly, low interest rates do not always translate into enough growth in investment and consumption in interest-sensitive sectors to always sterilize the impact of growing trade deficits.

    Second, the job-loss numbers identified in this report are a good measure of just how unbalanced the U.S. economy has become due to rising trade deficits. Tradable goods industries have hemorrhaged jobs, while interest-sensitive, often non-tradable, industries have seen rapid growth. At that point in the future when trade deficits begin to close (and this will happen—it is only a question of when and how), the U.S. economy will need to return many of the jobs displaced by rising trade deficits out of non-tradable and into tradable industries. Moving millions of workers back and forth between sectors is no mean trick, and accomplishing it without a recession in between will be hard; trying to do it after another couple of years of deficit growth—and an even more lopsided U.S. economy—will be even harder.

    In short, while aggregate employment in the United States may well not respond job-for-job with the numbers reported in this paper on trade deficits with China, these numbers provide insight into how much harder other macroeconomic influences have to work to eliminate the employment drag from these deficits, and they provide a good (and ominous) measure of how lopsided employment growth in the U.S. economy has become owing to the unbalanced U.S.-China trade relationship.

    Conclusion

    The growing U.S. trade deficit with China has displaced huge numbers of jobs in the United States, and been a prime contributor to the crisis in manufacturing employment over the past six years. The current U.S.-China trade relationship is bad for both countries. The United States is piling up foreign debt, losing export capacity, and facing a more fragile macroeconomic environment. Meanwhile, China has become dependent on the U.S. consumer market for employment generation, has suppressed the purchasing power of its own middle class with a weak currency, and, most importantly, has held hundreds of billions of hard-currency reserves in low-yielding, risky assets, instead of investing them in public goods that could benefit Chinese households. Its repression of labor rights has suppressed wages, thus subsidizing its exports and making them artificially cheap. This relationship needs a fundamental change: addressing the exchange rate policies and labor standards issues in the Chinese economy are important first steps.

    Methodology

    This analysis utilizes an input-output model to estimate the relationships between changes in trade flows and production that could support domestic employment. The analysis covers trends in goods trade, which is dominated by manufactures. Services trade is not considered because of problems with the data, and because many of the services traded involve returns to capital and intellectual property that have little or no direct effect on employment. In addition, goods trade dominates the nation's international accounts.

    This study uses the model developed in Rothstein and Scott (1997a and 1997b). This approach solves four problems that are prevalent in previous research on the employment effects of trade. Some studies look only at the effects of exports and ignore imports. Some studies include re-exports (transshipments)—goods produced outside the United States and shipped through this country to other nations—as U.S. exports. The trade data used in many studies is usually not adjusted for inflation. Finally, a single employment multiplier is often applied to all industries, despite differences in labor productivity and utilization.7

    The model used here is based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' employment requirements tables, which were derived from the U.S. input-output tables that are published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. These tables are adjusted to 2000 price and productivity levels (BLS 2007b), in real, chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A base year with 2000 employment requirements was used to estimate the employment content of trade in all years covered in this study. This assumption was needed to control for the effects of technology. This technique isolates the effects of trade on employment from pure technology effects. This model is used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in goods trade flows in each of 200 industries. This study updates the 1987 input employment requirements table used in earlier reports in this series (Rothstein and Scott 1997a, 1997b).

    This analysis requires four-digit, trade data based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) (U.S. International Trade Commission 2007), deflated with industry-specific, chain-weighted price indices (BLS 2007a), which were updated using industry-specific producer price indexes (BLS 2007b).8 Trade data were downloaded from the U.S. International Trade Commission (2007) Web site in NAICS format. The data for 2006 are preliminary estimates; this report will be updated and expanded when the final 2006 trade data are released in June 2007. State-level employment effects are calculated by allocating imports and exports to the states on the basis of their share of four-digit, industry-level employment for 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau 2001).

    The trade data were converted into chain-weighted 2000 dollars. A domestic employment requirements table for a particular base year was used to estimate the employment effects of trade in each year of the analysis, holding technology constant. The domestic employment requirement calculates the labor required to produce all of a given product within the United States. Thus, it reflects the complete labor content of output, including jobs indirectly supported in service industries. The base year of 2000 was chosen for this study because it was an approximate mid-point in the data covered in this study.

    CPS data on employment by industry by was collected for each of the detailed sectors in the model. These data were used to calculate each state's share of national employment.

    1. These purchases financed about one-quarter of the U.S. $857 billion current account deficit in 2006 (the broadest measure of all U.S. trade and income flows). But for these purchases, the reduced demand would have put significant downward pressure on the U.S. dollar. A substantial depreciation in the dollar would begin to improve the U.S. trade deficit within a few years.

    4. For the purposes of this report, it is necessary to distinguish between exports produced domestically and re-exports—which are goods produced in other countries, imported into the United States, and then re-exported to other countries, in this case to China. Since re-exports are not produced domestically, their production does not support domestic employment and they are excluded from the model used here. See Table 1 for information about the levels of U.S. re-exports to China in this period.

    5. This model assumes that everything else is held constant and the results are counterfactual estimates.

    7. Other studies—see California State World Trade Commission (1996), which finds 47,600 jobs created in California from increased trade with Canada alone—have allocated all employment effects to the home state of the exporting company. This is problematic, because the production—along with any attendant job effects—need not have taken place in the exporter's state. If a California dealer buys cars from Chrysler and sells them to China, these studies will find job creation in California. However, the cars are not made in California; so the employment effects should instead be attributed to Michigan and other state with high levels of auto industry production. Likewise, if the same firm buys auto parts from China, the loss of employment will occur in auto-industry states, not in California.
