Information on how to build an an online business

How to set up a chat room on AOL.

***At the end of this letter is a four page letter on "How to Recruit out of a Chat Room."

Several folks have asked my how to do this. Here are some tips.
This was done on AOL, and if you visit other chat rooms you will have to adapt to that environment. Many of your contacts will be on AOL, and you may use this information to train them. I wrote this site for the DHS Club, but it will work with any online business.

Go to the top of the main AOL screen, and click on People.

Click on Member Chat if you want anyone to be able to come in the room
Click on Private Chat if you just want it for a limited number of folks.

On Member chat, pick which category you would like to be listed in, and think of a creative name for the room to attract people. Entrepreneur, Making Money, MLM Success, or whatever you can dream up to make people come to the room.

Then you just do some other task and wait for people to come in the room. You should position that window, so you can see it if you are writing a letter or some other task. It is good to have another member of DHSC in there with you, and you can carry on a conversation, and others will look and either join in or leave. If someone comes in room, greet them, and find out about their lives. Then if they seem interested you can talk to them about your business. Do not force feed someone. They may come back later and talk to you. No one wants it crammed down their throat.

In Private Chat, we can make a room for DHSC, and it will not be listed in the main AOL listings, but others can find you if they click on your name in their buddy list.

About Buddy Lists. I always put all my plps in it, and VIPs, and upline support. I create a separate Buddy List Group for all of the above. If I see several on line at once, I can just click on Buddy Chat at the bottom of the box, and all in that Group will be invited into the room. If you do not know how to set up buddy list, go to Keyword and type Buddy List. It is real easy.

Hope this answers some of your questions. Tools are to be used. Some work better for other folks. You just have to experiment and see if it works for you.

Millions of lonely, hungry, tired and angry people are out there looking for someone to talk to, to lean on, to learn from, and to help carry their burden.

"HOW TO RECRUIT OUT OF A CHAT ROOM"

This process will help you weed out those folks who are not good prospects. Many people who come in to chat rooms, have no particular agenda in mind. The title of the room is very important. It needs to communicate what you want to talk about. Words like Entrepreneur and Success, attract the right kind of people. Here are a few names you could use: Entrepreneurs R Us, Success, Inc., Innovative Ideas, Making Money, Business Opp, New Home Business, Web Miracles. Think up your own name and see if it draws people.

The rest of this information is geared toward AOL chatrooms. I can get you free 30 day access to try it out, and observe me if you like. Email me your name and address and I will send you a free AOL service for a month.

When you open a room, be sure you make it a member room and not a private chat, or no one will come in. After you open the room, go the People Connection, and look in Find a Chat and see if your room is listed. You probably want to put it in News, Sports, and Finance, but any category will work.

It is best to team up with a DHSC buddy and work the room. Use your downline folks and teach them as they watch you. Agree ahead of time which one is going to be the leader of the room, and chief spokesperson. Any members who come to observe, should do just that. Speak only when spoken to, and do not interrupt. The room host has an agenda in mind, and when another person interrupts the flow of the room, people lose interest and leave. The more DHSC folks you can get to join up with you, the better. A room with 6 or 7 is more attractive than a room with 2. When a new person enters the room, Greet them with an introduction. Hi, my name is Jim. What is yours?

Every attempt should now be made to get a two way conversation going with the person. Remember, others should just watch, unless asked by the host to join in or take over.

Before Beginning, make sure you have your pull down favorite file, on your desktop for instant ready use. Have all your DHSC files in one folder, for easy access. If other DHSC folks are in the room, leave them to work the room for you. You should leave the room, and while your prospect is accessing the first link, go back in the room and tell the other member you will be on a personal IM with the prospect. Leave the other person in the room, even while you are Instant Messaging them, since it creates more interest if there are more folks in the room. More people will click on a room with 6-8 folks than they will with 1 or 2. Then follow the ideas in this actual talk. You must tailor to your own story, or use your upline’s story, until you have one of your own. NOTE** Be prepared for a lot of spam while you are in the room. It is a necessary evil, but just delete it when you are finished.

Icebreaker Questions:

1. Ken, where are you from? I am from Virginia.

2. What kind of work do you do? Do you enjoy your work. After this question try to find something in common with them and comment on that. This is called throwing out the net.

3. Ken, Do you ever do any kind of Internet business or are you just on here for fun?

4. Have you ever considered starting your own home based business? Or, have you ever considered starting your own Internet business (or on line business)?

5. No matter what they answer, proceed with the next question. This question will tell you if they are interested.

6. Ken, would you have a few minutes for me to show you an exciting new concept in Home Based Business over the Internet? (Or depending on his prior responses, you might substitute Internet Shopping Club, or Multi Level Marketing Business, Or use the Phrase Building your own business). Or Being your own boss.

7.If he says Yes, then say, Ken, let me IM (Instant Message) you so we can talk easier. (already have his name ready to IM, and type something like “Come on in”)

8. Once you have him in a one on one situation, you can begin your presentation.

9. The following conversation was recently done on an IM with a person who contacted me on an ad I ran. .

I have deleted the preliminary information of getting to know this person. This took about 3 minutes. I have not corrected punctuation or spelling in this, since I rapidly type in information while I am in a chat room.

CEOFort500: I was fortunate to hook up with a bunch of tremendous men and women, who formed a business last year, and the interaction between us is tremendous. I have made several life long friends out of this
xxx: that is wonderful, I really think that's what this life is all about..
CEOFort500: The company was founded by a fellow named Dick Burke, and his objective was to help folks save money on anything they purchase, so hence he formed the Home shoppers club, and they run it with real integrity and honesty. It is growing at 35% per month
CEOFort500: I have been able to learn a tremendous amount about Internet business.
xxx: How would I access it to see what you have, that is a wonderful concept....
CEOFort500: Let me tell you a little history and I will send you a link to look at it
xxx: Thank you I would appreciate that
CEOFort500: Around the 15th of Sep, I received an email from a guy named Jeff Casey, and he explained the club concept
CEOFort500: They had a program, that you could sign up for free, and then you could watch them build you a downline organization, while you did nothing but observe.
CEOFort500: So, I put my name on the bottom of the list, out of curiosity.
CEOFort500: Then I kept checking back, and sure enough folks were being put underneath me at a rapid pace
CEOFort500: By the 30th of Sept, I had made up my mind to take them up on the 30 days guarantee and sign up
CEOFort500: Since then the ride has been awesome and I plan on climbing all the way up the ladder with these folks
CEOFort500: Now let me show you what happened.
CEOFort500: 952 Dufault Line Report Clik on that My name is 8th from the top
CEOFort500: See the folks in bold print, have joined the club. The others are Postlaunch folks who have not jointed yet
xxx: That's Amazing!
CEOFort500: that all happened in a little over a month Now all those folks were put in by other folks in the line I only signed up 3 of them
CEOFort500: They use a process called Vertical Integration, and Team building concept, placing one under the other
xxx: How big an investment do you make?
CEOFort500: It is free to sign up, and you can watch us build it for you, and then if you join, is 49.95
xxx: That sounds great.
CEOFort500: then there is a 25 dollar a month fee, that is erased when you sign up your first two. It took me 21 days to do that and now I am free for the rest of my life
CEOFort500: Now, it is all profit from here on in
CEOFort500: Now look at this
CEOFort500: 6402 Jim Young - 2nd Line Report
CEOFort500: After you sponsor your first person, you start your own line. This line is about two weeks old.
CEOFort500: Three members have joined so far, and 3 more probably will in the next few days
CEOFort500: Then when I get ten under me in that line, I am promoted for the third time to Team Captain. Now you ready for this
CEOFort500: You get paid anywhere from 50 cents to 5.50 for each member under you in both lines, down 20 levels deep depending upon your rank in the company. Let me show you how that works
CEOFort500: 952 Dufault Line Report
CEOFort500: go there and Clik on Rosemary under me and count her members
xxx: OK
CEOFort500: Now Rosemary is in my second level that means I get paid on all her seven members. And on and on 20 levels deep in that line, and ten levels deep in line 2. It is called Geometric Progression. It grows by leaps and bounds
CEOFort500: You think you got the picture
CEOFort500: 165 - Harold Hill Two Now Harold has been in about six months, Look at what has happened to him Keep in mind that six months ago, Harold was on the bottom of that list.
xxx: Think so, would you email me with particulars, so I could read through it......
CEOFort500: Sure do you know how to save a link to your favorite place file
xxx: yes I do
CEOFort500: Mentored by a Millionaire - FREE 30 day Program.
CEOFort500: The Discount Home Shopping Club
CEOFort500: The DHS Club
CEOFort500: that should keep you busy for a while
xxx: Thank you and yes it should, its awesome.......and you have only been in since Sept.? Amazing
CEOFort500: if you think you might be interested holler back at me. I can tell you that you will probably be pleasantly surprised at the response
CEOFort500: When you look at my web page, it has a free sign up, You just put your name on the email, and send it and type Postlaunch 6402. Then you sit back and watch what we will do
xxx: I will do that, would be nice to generate a little extra income.........and meet some new people too.
CEOFort500: I guarantee you will not be bored for the next thirty days
xxx: That would be nice, but I think that your information will help me understand this.
xxx: This has been a learning experience, thank you and I will get back with you, have some mail to answer, again thanks........
CEOFort500: we use what we call a tag team approach to membership. When someone signs up for free, about 30 different folks will tell you their story. These folks are very encouraging, and share their individual stories with you. I really forward to the future with this club.
CEOFort500: Night enjoyed the chat
xxx: Night, thank you.

If at anytime during the conversation, they lose interest, ask them if you can send them a letter with your personal story, so they may look at it later, if they change their mind.

*********This is my first draft, and I will refine it as we go along. Any suggestions are appreciated. Folks, we need to gear up for the coming onslaught of new members, and we need to take the time to train them. Most of the new folks don’t know a lot about basic Internet protocol, or how to use files, bookmarks and the such. If we want them to learn, we have to fall back and train them.

I suggest if you want to do this, that you print out this file, and read it over several times, and leave it beside your computer as you try to work a chat room.






Instant Message on signing up a new member

I have not edited this for spelling or punctuation. When I am in a chat with someone, I do my best, but some mistakes are in this. I have changed names and places in this real life example.
