VXD understands you need every advantage to succeed in your business and is committed to helping you every step of the way. As you start out, you, as a business owner, you have two primary goals:

1. Introduce your product to buyers and consumers.

2. Build your team - your sales force. In network marketing this often involves contacting people you have never met and then recruiting them and training them to build their own business alongside yours.

To accomplish your goals you need to ADVERTISE. In fact, probably the most time consuming and perhaps the most costly aspect of your business will be marketing and advertising. Offline, you have your print media, mail marketing, radio, television, and cable. Some mediums, like broadcast advertising, can be quite expensive. Other media, like classified ads or business cards - can be very cost effective. What ever your budget, you simply must advertise to get the word out about your product, your business and your opportunity.

Online, you have LOTS of choices. A challenge sometimes is sorting through all those choices and finding the tools which work for you. Vocalixdirect has assembled resources for the Basic Vocalixdirect member and organized them on this website. VXD also has live training to further assist you. Consult our schedule for dates and times of training.

The next couple sections of RC helps you get started marketing on the Internet.

The Two Major Catagories of Internet Marketing...

Permission Marketing

1. Whether free or paid for, Marketing is a privilege it is NOT a right

2. Free or Paid for, all Internet Marketing is based upon PERMISSION

3. Free or Paid for, you join sites to gain permission to market, to contact members, to contact your down line, to contact those whom you have sponsored.

4. Even if you purchase products, upgrades or services to market - they are still PERMISSION based.

5. When you join any venue you give your permission to receive emails until the time you leave that program. The Program, the owners, your Sponsor can only contact you as long as you are a member of that specific program.

6. Once you leave a program - no one can email or contact you any further. Always remember to 'Opt-Out' of any program you leave.

7. Once you leave a program - contact those you sponsored to obtain permission to continue to email them. Make sure you put in an Opt-out statement or mechanizim in your email to them.

8. If you are using so called ‘bulk leads’ you have purchased or obtained from programs - the responsibility for marketing and Spam complaints fall upon you.

9. Protect yourself from Spam complaints by marketing responsibly and including full disclaimers and the clause to ‘opt out’ of receiving future emails from you. Once you are contacted by a person requesting an opt-out or that you no longer contact them, remove them from your list immediately and do not contact them again.

10. Legitimate and responsible opt-in marketing venues that you join (safe lists, safeadlists, etc) protect you in many ways. Your personal information is never revealed to the members. Once you leave, your information is purged from the databases of those programs. If it was not, and the program or owner contacts you without your permission - Spam. However, make sure you have indeed un-enrolled in a venue BEFORE complaining. False Spam complaints are as serious as actual Spam.

11. Before you report anyone for Spam make sure you are not a member of that program or list. If you are not, report Spam to both your email service and the email the Spam came from. You need to see your Full Email Headers. Every email service has a function that enables Full Email Headers. Each email service has a specific department for Spam reports. Examples: Yahoo is abuse@yahoo.com, Hotmail is report_spam@hotmail.com MSN is report_spam@msn.com. Forward the Spam email with Full Headers to the applicable email service.

12. Repeating a very important point: make sure you have indeed un-enrolled in a venue BEFORE complaining. False Spam complaints are as serious as actual Spam. Market responsibly. Report Spam and abuse responsibly.
