Take a look at the index for the “Success In 10 Steps” ebook by Michael Dlouhy. You will see 93 - count ‘em! - 93 bullets under the 10 chapter headings.
The purpose of every one of these bullets is to give you an idea for the first sentence of a classified ad designed to get the reader to download the ebook. Every single bullet has some element in it that might arouse a prospect’s curiousity - and YOU have the ability to make these bullets even more effective.
When you advertise your ebook to get leads, go over the Index. Read all the bullet points and see if one or two really grab your attention. Jot down a short list of keywords - e.g., leads, prospects, extra income, money from home, etc. - and read down the list of Index bullets.
What NEW ideas do you come up with for headlines or classified ads? What nugget can you get out there that would really get someone’s attention and draw them in?
I’ve never seen any other book or ebook in network marketing written like this … to include all these possible ad wording ideas for you. You are certainly free to come up with your own ads. But as you play around with the “Success In 10 Steps” index, you might discover a real winner that rivets people’s attention and gets you the ebook downloads you want.

When you look to find new business partners in a cold market, you should ONLY ever focus on people actively looking to make money from home. It is a waste of your time to pursue anybody who has not recently demonstrated that desire.
OK. Let’s divide “people who want to make money from home” into 2 categories:
- Those who have experience in MLM.
- Those who don’t.
For a lot of reasons, the “Success In 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy ebook is targeted to group #1. The book addresses their specific frustrations. This is a group you do not have to explain MLM to … they already understand the concept. (And sometimes, the idea of and the reason for seeking “residual income” isn’t that easy for people to get.)
You could come up with a lot of other reasons, but the bottom line is that group #1 is just a lot more targeted. And there are millions of names in that group. It’s just a matter of finding the ones who are looking NOW for the right opportunity, and offering them a free copy of your ebook.
So you want to target current network marketers with this ebook. You are NOT targeting
- entrepreneurs
- work-at-home moms
- business executives
- investors
- coaches
- home business people
- etc., etc., etc.
Now … some of the MLMers you target will fall into one or more of these categories, and that is great. BUT you want to advertise to them ONLY if they have experience in MLM.
Why?
Because “Success In 10 Steps” is written for them. If they don’t already understand MLM, reading this ebook is a waste of their time and yours.
I know you must have a question about this. What is it? Please post a comment below.

One of the great advertising innovations that has come with the internet is Google Adwords. Adwords allows you to quickly get results from an ad, often in just a few hours’ time. Then you can run a second ad against your first ad, and compare results. Then you choose the better performer and run it against a new ad. Repeat this process over and over, and you consistently get better results. This is the absolute ideal for any advertiser who understands the game. It means you can be constantly improving.
Before Adwords, this process only worked offline and it took months. Adwords really cuts the time.
A lot of people find phrases and keywords that are much more effective than they ever dreamed by using this process. One very effective MLM keyword may not be a surprise, but it definitely gets people to act. And that word is:
Frustrated?
A big reason for the effectiveness of “Success In 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy is THAT keyword. The ebook answers the questions of frustrated network marketers … who REALLY want their questions answered. It’s eating away at them, why they just haven’t made it big. They are so darned … FRUSTRATED!!!!
I recommend you use that word in your advertising for “Success In 10 Steps.” Use it when you talk to your leads. Pound, pound, pound on “frustrated.” That word is worth its weight in gold.
Things change over time. It may not always be this way. But it definitely is true now. MLMers are frustrated, and they want answers now. Use that knowledge when you advertise to them and when you talk with them.
I appreciate you!

Michael & I created “Success In 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy in 2004. We had certain goals in mind in writing the ebook … which have been far exceeded. STS, as we lovingly call it, has become a network marketing legend.
I first found MLM in 1976. I’ve heard a ton of talk about “duplication” over the years. That means, you figure out a way that works to build your business, and you train a lot of others to do the exact same thing. Unfortunately, there’s very little actual duplication in network marketing.
But “Success In 10 Steps” changes all that, and that is its greatest achievement. When you advertise this ebook, you target your absolute best leads (current frustrated MLMers). And just by their very act of downloading and reading your ebook, you have demonstrated to them that your system works. It’s truly magical.
In these pages, you’ll learn a lot of useful tips & techniques from many people who’ve built successful businesses with “Success In 10 Steps”. If you dream of building a huge, profitable MLM business, I think you’ll find this information very useful.

It may sound strange, but it’s very, very difficult to find actual, honest-to-goodness duplication in network marketing. Most of the time, duplication goes exactly 1 level down. Why? Because the system being used is not duplicatable. People think it will be, but the proof is in the pudding. Usually, it just does not work.
Using the “Success In 10 Steps” ebook by Michael Dlouhy in our team, Michael sponsored Don. Don sponsored Paula. Paula sponsored Judi. Judi sponsored Sarah. Sarah sponsored Marilyn. They all sponsored a lot of other people too, using the ebook, but you should focus on THIS amazing leg for 1 important reason: they all made Diamond, a very high achievement (and well-rewarded and recognized) level in our company!
I’ve been in a lot of MLM companies over the years. I started in 1976. My buddy Michael Dlouhy started a couple years later, so we have a lot of experience between us. And yet, neither of us has ever seen duplication anything like this.
If you truly want to build a successful MLM business with ANY company, I feel pretty safe in saying you won’t find a better system to use. And that probably includes the rest of your life after today, too. Considering past performance of other systems, I doubt anybody will ever come up with a better system.
Most people who start in network marketing do not have a system that duplicates. Chances of success in that situation are pretty close to zero. “Success In 10 Steps” can make all the difference in your mlm future.
I appreciate you!

Did you know there’s no saltwater in saltwater taffy?
Taffy has actually been around for nearly 1000 years, which is pretty amazing. In Atlantic City, back in the 1880s, a lot of shops sprang up when they first put up the boardwalk. One guy sold several things in his shop, including taffy.
One day, the ocean arrived and inundated his shop. After the water receded, he surveyed the damage. Lots of stuff was ruined. But the taffy tasted fine. In a moment of marketing genius, he decided to call it “saltwater taffy.”
A lot of great marketing can happen by accident. The “Success In 10 Steps” ebook by Michael Dlouhy, so popular to so many MLMers now, was originally titled “The 10 Biggest MLM Marketing Mistakes and How You Can Avoid Them.”
Many of the ideas were the same as in the final book, but the big focus was different. As Michael & I talked about the book, I realized that the focus really needed to change. The 10 biggest MLM marketing mistakes was a good idea, but not for THIS book. So the title became “Success In 10 Steps.”
Aren’t you glad? That other much longer title would be much more of a challenge to get into your ads.
I appreciate you!

It’s painful trying to title and then write a page about yourself. When in doubt, keep it simple. Here’s “about me”:
- I live in Monticello, FL, in “the only Florida county without a single stoplight”. (They’re pretty proud of that here.)
- Married to Cheryl 35 years; father of 4; grandfather of 5 (Yikes! Can great-grandfather be far behind?)
- Discovered network marketing in a hotel conference room on Brickell Avenue in Miami in 1976.
- Drove a bus in Miami & Miami Beach for 16 years.
- Failed many times with many different MLM companies. Finally had success in 1993.
- Titled & introduced the audiotape “Dead Doctors Don’t Lie!”, the standard against which all other MLM promotions are measured. Over time, a quarter-BILLION of these tapes were sold. If you got 100 of these audiotapes in the mail, blame me.
- Retired from bus driving in 1994.
- Worked with Michael Dlouhy to write “Success In 10 Steps” in 2004.
- Wrote the book “Evil Medicine” in 2005.
- Worked with Michael Dlouhy to write “Powerful Networking Secrets” in 2005.
- To be painfully truthful, those close to me say my singing voice isn’t nearly as good as I think it is.
- I currently work closely with my team to help others learn to build their MLM business using “Success In 10 Steps.”

I saw a painting years ago that really made me think. In the foreground, size of the painting, was the back of a man. Slightly smaller was a mirror, where you could see his front view. So he’s looking at himself in the mirror. And behind that front view in that mirror, you could see another mirror … with, of course, the back view. And in that mirror, you could see another mirror, and so forth. It was fascinating to figure out that painting.
Reminds me a lot of the “Success In 10 Steps” ebook by Michael Dlouhy. Joe reads about how the ebook has the answers to his MLM frustrations, and he downloads it. He reads it, and then Joe wants to talk to you about what he’s read. Sometimes, Joe just writes out his “WHY”, as suggested in book, and he emails it to you. That is always pretty amazing and indicates a very strong prospect.
And when you talk with Joe to answer his questions, you explain that the most effective way for Joe to do network marketing is to advertise the ebook in places where frustrated MLMers are likely to see the ad. They’ll be intrigued, they’ll download the ebook, and they’ll call Joe. Some will email him their “WHY.” And this is very real to Joe, because it’s just like looking in the mirror. He knows it works exactly as you just explained, because that is exactly what HE did!
In MLM, what you’ll value more than anything else is real duplication. That makes anything possible. And the “Success In 10 Steps” ebook gives you the best tool ever to get duplication, because the prospect you are talking to realizes they are looking in the mirror.
I appreciate you!
