Developing a Work Structure

Day Six: As you may have noticed, I took a little break from blogging my Varolo success these past few days. But, that doesn't mean that I haven't been working. Varolo is rather addictive, only because I want it to work so badly. However, I do have other things to do, so, I have decided to create a work structure.

First thing in the morning I check my stats to see if I have any new recruits. If they are confirmed, I send them an 'Introduction Note.' I then move on to other things that I need to do to get my day started.

Later in the day, I will put in a little work, do some promoting, make changes to my blog, send out some tweets, make a few posts on Facebook, etc - trying not to allow that to take up too much of my time. It's very easy to lose track of time. Therefore, I suggest that if you don't want to get lost in it, set a timer to whatever time you want to work, then, when the timer goes off - STOP and move on to something else. I am going to use my oven timer; it's loud and I can hear it easily.

Sometimes, I watch ads all through the day, but, I prefer to watch them in the evening when I am winding down for the day. This is just my little work structure; you will find something that works for you.

Oh yeah, my village is up to 4, 5 including me. Not exactly where I want it to be, because my goal is 30 for the week. I am way behind, but, I am not going to sweat the small stuff, I know what I need to do and that is increase my recruitment by placing more ads and placing my link in more places. It is only Tuesday and I have already watched 135 ads. I am well on my way to level two, I just need 6 more villagers. I am positive that won't be long now.

If you haven't joined Varolo yet, please join my village. We are a happy bunch - small, but, growing. I DARE YOU TO JOIN!!! LOL

Varolo Launch

Varolo has officially launched! While users have been able to earn money, win jackpots, earn achievements and points for a while now, with the official launch we will be enforcing advertiser price minimums. Currently that is at $0.01/ad view. On May 1, 2011, that will increase to a 2 cent minimum. This will continue to increase as the popularity of Varolo grows. Each time it increases, users will begin to earn more money on each ad viewed by someone in their village. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE WILL “GRANDFATHER” ADVERTISERS THAT HAVE EXISTING CONTRACTS OR AD CAMPAIGNS RUNNING WITH VAROLO AT THEIR ORIGINAL PRICE UNLESS THEY STOP THEIR CAMPAIGN OR THEIR CONTRACT ENDS. Then they would be subject to the higher price if they initiate a new ad or contract. What this means is many users won’t see an immediate bump in earnings on May 1st. It will take some time as the new advertisers come on board paying the new higher rate.

When Things Go Wrong

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Off to a Great Start

Day Three: I woke up with a fresh outlook. Marketing on my mind. I have decided not to concentrate on making money. While, that is the ultimate goal, but, my concentration should be primarily marketing. Getting my link viewed by as many people as I can as many ways as I can. The first thing that came to mind is, of course, this blog. I wanted to document my progress with Varolo from beginning to end. Because Varolo is a new launch program; I particularly like that I am in on the ground floor in a sense. Although the program has been around for nearly a year, it is still young and not saturated like a lot of programs of it's type. Therefore, I can apply aged marketing strategies to a new baby. Thus, my journey is off to a great start.

I created a fan page on Facebook. And placed ads on several online classified sites. There are thousands of these sites and most of them are free to post. Right now, FREE is good. If Varolo does well, then, I can start paying for advertising. I have watched 24 ads, which brought my total views to 73 for the week. I didn't make it to 140, but, I didn't complete the level either. So, I will start over for the new week. My goal is to get 30 sign ups. So far I have 2 sign ups, which brings my village total to 3. *jumping for joy*

Onwards and Upwards!!!

Day Two: The second day of my journey with Varolo was a little more informed. I started thinking with the mind of a marketer. Just who would I let in on this opportunity? How would I introduce them and how would I help them be successful? I placed one ad, as my referrer suggested. Hoping that I would get a world wind of responses. I only got one sign up. Oddly, enough that sent me into the celebration mode. One ad, one sign up. So, the next time. I need to place more ads - lesson learned. If I place 5 ads, maybe I will get 5 sign ups, or if I place 10 ads, maybe I will get 10 sign up, so on and so forth. I got it. I watched 29 ads, bringing my total viewing to 49.

The Journey Begins

My journey with Varolo has begun. I answered an ad in the job section for sales. I found out quickly, while this can be a job, it definitely isn't sales. I would classify this as promoting or marketing. Thus, my journey begins as a marketer.

Day One: I simply familiarized myself with the site. I click on everything on the site that was click-able. I also googled 'varolo' to find any information, positive reviews, success stories, etc. I also googled 'varolo scams' just to see if there were any scam reports. I amazingly found none. I did find some misinformation and criticisms of Varolo, that from going over the site myself, I soon learned weren't true, to my relief. One misinformation that I found was that the site give out your personal information. Not true. The site has a menu that let you choose view your information and how much of it can be viewed. I found that I prefer that only referrer can view my information for now. Later, I am sure that I will want downline to be able to see more of me. The goal is to watch 140 ads per week/20 a day. I watched 20 ads and rated them successfully.
