Doubter’s and Negativity.

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

It’s another one of those mornings where I wake up and I say to myself, “What am I going to blog about today?” I take this internet presence thing very seriously so I have to write something each and every day. Friday I did not put out a blog because I worked on my website from 7 am that morning until 1030 pm that night and I wanted my new blog to be about my new website for Tube Launch. It was important that I jump on this product because it is only two months old and I see great potential coming from it. I even plan on buying it because it can’t hurt for thirty four dollars a month unless I just upload something that no one wants to buy from YouTube and if you can’t make thirty four dollars in thirty days, your not doing something right. At this point I am brain storming I came up with what I was going to write about. It just hit me so, the original title of this blog was going to be “Every Decision has Consequences”, but now it’s “Doubter’s and Negativity”.

When my Journey into Internet Marketing Began.

The number one thing that all beginners need when they decide to go into Internet Marketing is nothing but positive reinforcement when they decide to come on board. There are few of us who have started off alone and have made into this game and have been successful. The rest of us come in under someone else unless we have the money, the tools, and the know how to do it ourselves. We are all in the learning phases and we get better with time. My journey started in March of 2012 when I got fired from my job at Carbonite. I never though I would ever get fired from a job and it happened there and I left my last company of Oxford Networks for a dollar pay cut. I wanted to be able to grow and there was no room for growth at Oxford Networks so I went to Carbonite for thirteen dollars an hour. After Carbonite I went to go work at Insphere Insurance Solutions. I have a Master’s Degree in Information Technology and now I am going into a very foreign field of sales. Go figure.  I worked there until August and with no sales and poor training I left. I worked for Xbox Live for two months after that working directly from home doing technical support and I loved working with kids but when I got parents who were angry who didn’t even want to touch the Xbox it made me want to go to my refrigerator and get a beer. I was blitzed 75% of time when I worked from home for Xbox Live but I always got the job done. I just couldn’t handle the minimum wage for all the knowledge they wanted us to have.  I started receiving government disability in December and figured I could live off of 1,483.00 dollars a month. Not so much because I have to pick and choose what bills to pay. So last month I sat down with my good friend, whom I see as a father,  Roy Harper and a new friend Don Hamilton. Don ask me, “So Gerald what’s your claim to fame?” I answered, “I really don’t have one.” Roy piped up and said, “Gerald has a Master’s Degree and is unemployed.” We all laughed sitting down in Starbucks and Don said to Roy, “Sign him up for “Empower Network and Pure Leverage”. A few days later I was signed up for both of them and began working hard. I should have started working with these two items when I started working at Insphere. I would be more successful now because I five subscribers to Pure leverage after one month of work and over three hundred views of my blog on Empower Network in one month. Just think how successful I would be right now if I started this in March of 2012. So now your thinking, “Gerald this is suppose to be about doubters and negativity.” I am getting there because a week after I started I joined View Trakr, I wanted to take a gamble, and that’s where the doubting and negativity started for me yesterday morning.

Doubting and Negativity, yesterday on Facebook.

I will start off by giving you a little run down on what View Trakr is all about. It has been predicted that in the near future nearly 65% of all internet traffic will be streaming video. View Trakr has jumped on board and it is a platform you can use to share your favorite videos. You all ready do this for free on Facebook and other sites but you can get paid with each person who signs up based on your videos and once they become a paid member. You have to have four people sign up under you and then those four have to go out and find four before you start making any real money. This is why Tube Launch is a much better product and I posted my website and YouTube video on View Trakr’s Facebook group and here is a conversation I had with one of the big wigs of the company, Austin Zulauf. This is directly from my Facebook page with no edits.

    Ay there, Gerald…Great to have ya in YMC!…In that group we don’t promote other things though…I just wanted to let u know so u can stay in that group with us……Lemme know if u have any questions of need anything….

    10:45 am

    sorry about that. I told Sharon about it and she said I should post it. Oh well won’t happen again.

    10:47 am

    You’re good…We don’t have the rules posted…..

    10:47 am

    roger, so did it get deleted?

    10:48 am

    Yessir

    It happens, man….lol

    10:51 am

    No worries. I was going to delete it and saw that it was gone. I am not worried in the least bit. If anything I may be canceling View Trakr soon. I was given misleading information on accident.

  • 10:52 am

    Sounds good, my guy….We’re having a call today at noon CST just in case u wanna get on……n’ if u need anything, while you’re in, I’ve got over 2,000 reps in ViewTrakr n’ have some good systems for it if u need anything

  • 10:53 am

    Naaaaaaaah I was told that just by joining I would be apart of the group that gets 25 cents per new member for the life of the company and then I was told later on I needed to get to a certain level before that happens. I understand what I was told by accident but that was the absolute selling point for me and it’s gone.

  • 10:54 am

    LOL….The residual, bonus, team comission, check-match and profit sharing wasn’t appealing?

    BUT, I understand……….

  • 10:55 am

    Nope, requires hounding people to sign up.

  • 10:55 am

    LOL!!!…I work about 15 minutes a week to sign people up….

  • 10:55 am

    I have a better chance with empower network and pure leverage.

  • 10:55 am

    lmao!!!!!

    I’ve been a consultant in mlm for 11 years this October….I wouldn’t have to respectfully disagree….

  • 10:56 am

    You probably do and congrats on you.

  • 10:56 am

    But u do ur thing…I support your decision

  • 10:57 am

    sorry sounds like your selling and you are being absolutely disrespectful which makes my decision more final.

  • 11:07 am

    funny you laugh when both of those companies are more established then View Trakr is. I am a betting man and google will buy out this up start company and everyone will suffer.

  • 11:46 am

    Yessir, they ARE more established….Sorry u feel i was disrespectful….

    I have friends in both…

    I wish u the best

    My Personal Thoughts on the Conversation above.

    Any company that denies competition is in violation of Federal Trade Commissions regulations if the rules aren’t posted. As Austin stated above the rules are not posted and my post got deleted because it was a competing product. Tube Launch could actually work with View Trakr.  You could use them both in conjunction with the way they work and I will use that to my advantage. Another thing about this conversation is Austin is very condescending.  Do you see how many times in the conversation he straight up laughs at me and uses lots of periods such as …………..  What does that tell you? He is showing a very ugly side of the company. One thing I have always hated in life is when someone has gotten lucky enough to make it. They didn’t work to get to that point in their life it was handed to them. Austin only has to work 15 minutes a week. Am I suppose to respect that when he is looking down on me and not being positive? Words can get misconstrued especially in text messages it is better to speak face to face. All in all the View Trakr is in beta and launches June 1st. I will make my decision to leave then but between View Trakr and Tube Launch I can use them both to get the right people.

    Final Thoughts, Two Products who don’t care if you Advertise Competing products.

    Pure Leverage
