May 02 New Website Up and RunningHello
Sorry again for taking so long to add an entry. I've been working on my new website and business opportunity. Check it out at: http://brandornow.com
If we can help your business in any way ( we know the Gift and Incentive Program will) please get in touch with me and I will outline how it all works.
Talk to you soon, have a great summer! January 13 Sorry It's been so long!Hello Everyone
Happy New Year! It may be bleak for some but there is opportunity out there. Thousands will be looking and needing information on home-based businesses and the ins and outs of marketing on-line. I have seen most of the programs and guru's spouting their 'snake-oil'. The only one that is easily understandable, is from a friend of mine in England 'Latif'. He has put together a no nosense program that will not separate you from too much of your money. It is a one-time $100 fee and everything is sent to you in PDF files for you to save/review at your own speed. Here is the link, this is all you need to understand and to get going. The rest will fall into place later on. Visit: http://brandor.snatch2.hop.clickbank.net
Coming soon: The straight goods on PPC (pay-per-click) advertising. Something else you will need to understand down the road. Take care everyone. (One day, in the near future, you will thank me for weeding out all the con-men/gurus, and saving you thousands of dollars!) September 21 Old School works too!Hi Everyone
Boy, it's already Fall. Listen just a quick note to let you know, that is if you haven't figured it out yet, there is no wrong way to market. Warm Lists, cold lists, the gas station approach, wearing a button, they all work in fact it's probably a good idea to 'mix it up'. You see folks, what you need to realize is: the the genie is out of the bottle so-to-speak with regards to Web 2.0 strategies. Everybody is using video and the community/blog sites. Nothing wrong with that but belly to belly (one on one) works too but you have to do it the right way! You need a sizzle call, you need to have it on CD and as a link and you give it out /email to everyone and then deal with the interest you get back. I have a great one for you and it's generic, you can use it for any biz! Visit: 15 years left dot com and listen to the podcast, it's free (10 min) and it will change your life (or if it doesn't , you won't be able to say: 'Nobody told me'!) It is information from one of the legends in Network Marketing. Break out of your comfort zone, do something you haven't done! Get back to me and I'll show you what else you can use to grow your biz!. Remember, we're fishing not hunting.
May the joy be with you.

seven to seven fig at gmail dot com August 29 Transparency On_LineHello again
I hope everyone is well and enjoying what's left of the summer!
We all have heard the horror stories of ID theft and phishing on-line. Here are a few tips to consider:
1) Never give any information at any URL (web-site) or email unless you see a name and at the least a phone number, if there's an address that's even better. You can learn a lot from the 'Contact Us' tab too. When I visit a site, it is usually the first thing I check. Any reputable firm will have a way for you to contact them. It might take some time, either you are on hold or you have to email them but there is some form of communication possible.
2) Always use a credit card for anything you buy on-line. That way you have recourse with your card company if something's not right down the road. Never send cash in a magazine in a courier envelope. I am not a big Pay-Pal fan but it is secure as an option. Wiring money can be dangerous as well if it's not through a bank.
Getting things done on-line can be a real time-saver (and gas-saver!) once you know how to proceed, so take your time, ask any questions. I can always be reached. Again if you are looking to take charge of your life, read the 'seven to seven figure program' blog below and find out how you can start a great 'portable' business and build a career in the financial markets that you can be proud of. Not MLM, not like anything you've ever-seen!
You may be one of the seven, cruising with myself and my wife, all expenses paid! Visit: one year plan dot net /sorchard
Have a great long weekend!

seven to seven fig at gmail dot com Brandor's 'Seven to Seven Figure' ProgramGood Day Everyone
I just wanted to let you know about a program we have recently put together. At Brandor we don't usually promote one particular company or Business Idea, however I came across something while I was over in Europe that is just exploding and just so positive in the effect it's having on people, not only as a business person but also as an individual on the whole. I was so inspired talking to some of the people involved that I came back and said I'm going to make the same goal, but with a longer time-frame. With the program outlined below: we want to help seven people get their enterprise's to a seven figure profit by 2012. Maybe more!, but the first seven will be cruising with me and my lovely wife, Martine on Brandor's dime!
The idea is genius and something I can get very passionate about. It combines on-line marketing with financial education and the possiblities are endless. The company is Carbon Copy Pro and in essence, it is an on-line marketing 'how to' guide that is completely 'turn-key', in other words, you just purchase it (under $500usd) and everyting you need to have a biz on-line is ready for you - your websites, auto-responders, merchant account's. It is really genius, they call it business in a box or BiB (don't worry if you don't understand all the terminology, you will in time and save a bundle doing so! Ask any on-line marketer how much all the trial and error cost him/her?) It can be a very expensive learning curve until now.
Once you understand how it all works, (I will personally show you; keep reviewing the Blogs here) Google presence, Yahoo, Zango, uTube, Blogs and Community, you will be amazed at how quickly you can start to see a return! The way it's set up is different from all other marketing plans as well. You start making money right away, not a lot but enough to cover your advertising (that is all you are really responsible for but that is why so many fail!) My son has signed on and in just over a month he's made almost $1000! (but he knows what he's doing on-line! LOL)
That is just the beginning though, the real money, as any savvy on-line marketer will tell you, is on the back-end. The product you can market, (if you so choose) is a complete financial education bundle that everyone really needs to understand. It's the subject we should have been taught in School. Just the tax advice alone and what you could save in a year, is worth the price! There is information on Debt Consolidation, understanding the stock market, real estate,how to set up a corporation, etc. Remember this is not MLM, it is not commissions of nickels and dimes, we're talking hundreds of dollars on one sale!
But here is the kicker, they are set to go public in the next couple of years! It is run by two gentlemen that worked on Wall St. for over 20 years and really 'know their onions'! They won't take on a partner unless they have a 10 year track-record. No fluff or hype, no 'time-share condo' type bait and switch tactics, where you go to a convention and boom! to talk to an expert, it costs you an additional $1000, not them, complete transparency. Very impressive group of men. Ther mission is to give the little guy a chance at some of the strategies the rich have used for years.
Anyways, if you want to know more, and you really should, everyone needs this information and most of all the contacts you could make to take your business to the next level, then contact me or visit: one year plan dot net /sorchard (Yes! I decided to sign up, too!) or fire off an email to: sevento sevenfig @gmail dot com You could be one of the seven! Nothing would make me happier! As the song says: Baby, let's cruise, away from here, can't wait! Are you coming? I can always be reached.

Onward and Up August 20 MLM can be tricky!Hello again
I hope all is well. I wanted to quickly talk to you about MLM or Network Marketing as a vehicle to realize your dreams. Many people are turned off to it because they think they must pitch their friends and family because that is what they are told by their leaders or 'upline'. Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact I would go so far as to say that if you are involved with one that 'demands your obedience' to a system, (making a list of everyone you know...... etc,) I would say get out now!
Web 2.0 strategies are changing the way business can be done. Your upline either understands that and doesn't want you to 'surpass' him or her(because that is what will happen!) or they are completely ignorant of what Web 2.0 is. In essence it is 'attraction marketing' using the communities and niche markets on Google, Yahoo and uTube to get the word out, so-to-speak. If you want to know more about these strategies, which are, by the way, free or very cheap, get in touch with me. I have some great information I'll be happy to share with you for free to help grow your business. Or if you are looking, don't sign up until you've looked at this. Ask your 'potential upline' how they feel about marketing on-line, use it as a gage for your decision. I will tell you straight, there is no point getting involved if they are going to be on your case for not following their 'proven duplication system.' At some point, maybe not right away, you will need to learn how to market online.
How can I help, I can always be reached. (Read my Aug 17/08 entry for more information on whay you should look at understanding how to market on-line.) If you have hit a plateau in your MLM and need leads, visit: sorchard.buildingonabudget.com as well as: betternetworker.com/members/sorchard
If you are still looking for a home biz, that is not MLM, this is one of the best out there, in my opinion. Check it out: oneyearplan.net/sorchard
Let me know what you think!

SteveO August 17 You don't want a Drill, you want a Hole!Hello Everyone
It has been a while! I was in Europe for a few months and have been very busy with a couple of mergers and acquisitions. I will try to post a little more often from now on.
I wanted to talk today about 'on-line marketing' and the importance of laying the proper foundation. Not only is doing so essential in any endeavor you take on in life but it is really important in working with the internet because there are so many 'opinions' we'll say, out there in cybespace land. In fact, a large part of the internet is just that - getting information on a product or service and then researching and reviewing opinions on it or them. It's not a bad thing however it can be confusing. It can take away your focus, which is often the key to getting started. (Again this blog is directed towards those interested in starting a business on-line whether through MLM or Directly.)
So, as our title suggests, people want the hole not the drill. This principle applies to anything you want to market. In a nutshell, it means you have to sell the dream or desire the person interested has, not your product or service, that is secondary and is in essence 'imbedded' within your pitch so to speak. It should really be an option if you truly want to be effective.
Attacking from this flank, so to speak, takes off all the pressure. You are educating and showing them that you are interested in helping them build whatever it is they want to build. You are helping them see that it is all about 'attraction marketing' now on-line, drawing people that are already interested in starting a 'portable business' as I like to call it. (because now you don't need to be at home, all you need is a laptop and a cell phone!)
The key to making millions on line is to understand how to help others understand the exact same thing. It is a process, there is a learning curve and it will cost you some money to get going, because unfortunately Google and Yahoo charge, Companies that build web-sites charge. It's just the way it is.
I have come across an excellent program that is essentially 'turn-key' to help cut through the confusion and help you get started, if you are willing to invest in yourself and truly understand the concept of helping others will in time help you, then visit: one year plan dot net /sorchard If you are willing to spend $40 you will find out about a program that could turn you into an on-line marketing guru and change your life. (FYI: the $40 doesn't come to me. But if you're interested, it's the best $40 you'll ever spend!) Look at it this way: No matter what age you are, you will need to understand how marketing on-line works more and more as time goes on. That's all for now, stay tuned, remember, I can always be reached, check out the 'one year plan' site above. If you've been looking for your own biz, this is it!

We are also looking for investors (min: $50K) for a venture into the Art Market. Full details are available in our latest Business Plan and an Executive Summary will be sent to you on request. You can email your request to: steve dot orchard at gmail dot com. November 20 Business IntelligenceHi Everyone It has been a while since my last blog. I just wanted to talk for a few moments about a new phenomenon that is starting to play a bigger and bigger role in the business world: Business Intelligence. Yes, all those 'survey calls' you get folks are precisely that, to gather information about your business. What is interesting about it, is that it is industry-specific as well, Pharma, IT, Consulting. They all are targeted. If you are running a business, you may want to look into companies that specialize in it. It could help you market your goods. We can help. Call or email me for more information. Onward and Up! Steve March 03 Welcome to my Win Live SpaceHello and welcome to my 'Live Space'. Either I invited you or you just found me. In either case, I hope I can help in any way to grow your business or just make a new friend.
A little about me. I'm 49, 6'5", 240 lbs, father to a 21 year old son that makes me proud and is my source of inspiration. I had a very amicable break up with my ex, we were just too young! We are great friends to this day. That should tell you something about me. I don't have an enemy in the world. There are certain people I won't do business with but if they had a flat tire, I'd stop and help. The most important thing you can learn from me is that 'ego' is the source of so many of the problems we face today. If we all learned to keep our ego's in check, think of how great the world we live in would be. Business-wise as well as personally!
If you are struggling with your business, I know where you are coming from. I've had my share of failed attempts!
There are a few things you need to do though, no matter what.
1) You need to register a home-based business (either with an interest you have or something you are good at or somekind of Network Marketing / on-line biz. Why? For income tax purposes.
But let's be clear, you need to run it like a business. If it's a hobby or the tax dept assessment judges it as such- you lose. This is where we can help.
You see, marketing today is more than just Google, URL's and adware. It's about setting up your business right at the start. When you do that, the marketing end is easy because you can react quickly.
Here is an example: Internet Banking. The brick and mortar banks that had been around for years laughed in the early 90's at them. They're not laughing anymore! In fact, they are revamping their URL's, trying to compete but they have taken so much business away, they don't care. They are virtual, if they see client's want a 'branch' to go to, they open one or two! If they don't work out they close them. The ability to adapt is key.
Here is another: The IT Reseller business. There are hundreds of resellers for IT equipment in the country. Years ago, they all had warehouses and ordered inventory and managed it. Today, there are about 50 (what people in the industry refer to as virtual warehouses in the country) so in reality if you order from one of the top 4 resellers, they are all sourcing from the same place! So my point is, that if you wanted to open a 'reseller business' today you really don't need inventory, you just need to cut deals with the 'virtual's'. Don't you think you could spend a little more time on marketing, trying different approaches, if you didn't have to worry about inventory? It's all about setting up properly.
Stay tuned, we'll talk about what you need to do next in the following string. How to deal with biz plan 'operational systems' . If you have any questions, add them below or email them to me. Take Care,
Knowledge is only potential power!
