Great info Gavin. I will start to create my own capture page for the Ten Ten Formula.

OK, so I had an idea earlier of making a new sub domain on your own domain, so say Power.myDomain

that forwards to empower blog address…

From what you say, they may follow the links before posting…. if so, no go!

would be interested if anyone has tried this option….

Great information and such a relief that there is another way to continue marketing when facebook closes their doors – another one opens.

You said “People are DELETION creatures, meaning that once we’ve seen something once, we don’t pay any attention to it”

This is SO TRUE…always market you and keep it fresh!!

Great info Gavin, once again!! I agree with the others, I’ve seen a lot on EN which switched me off. I hope everyone in it takes your lead and uses value rather then spam as a business model.

[Reply]

Gavin,
Thanks for the info. I know this is going to effect a lot of people, but I am thankful for our team. Promoting EN on the back in is the key

[Reply]

Thank you Gavin. This will be helpful for me to help my team and now I know how to help others with this when they start to get upset with what to do next. I had just set up my other blog and was getting it ready when all of this happened. Again thank you so very much for getting out this information.

[Reply]

Great info Gavin. I am not in the ten ten formula but this is some great advice anyone in EN can use.

What is interesting is that almost all of the successful folk do not promote EN on Facebook.

Thanks for sharing this information.

This is brilliant Gavin! You should never have all your eggs in one basket. Whether an EN marketer or other, it’s always good business practices to have various avenues of marketing. FB is not the only place to market! Thank you for this info and the value you add to the EN community and others.

This is a great lesson for marketers involved with any business. Don’t put all of your ‘marketing eggs’ in one basket. Diversification is important and finding a unique selling point. Great way to showcase your unique selling proposition with the creation of capture pages that don’t show Empower Network on the front end. Thanks for sharing.

[Reply]

Thanks Gavin,

Awesome…A very wise way to market! I have joined EN with my husband just a few weeks ago. When I first scanned it out, I didn’t like that they were doing it through Facebook. Had that funny feeling that it would get shut down eventually. I also noticed that many of the blogs on EN were all spammy. We did use a capture page via ppc.

Question to you Gavin? Can I get into the ten ten even though I’m not on your EN team, but am a part of Networking Superstars? Thanks Donna Merrill

P.S. I may have missed some emails because David an I were working with Daegan Smith on a project the past 6 weeks, putting together a webinar.

Good thing I haven’t put my eggs in one basket! Just applied for the ten ten formula I must have missed it b/c I have been working on a project. I am an affiliate of EN and have the same question as Suzanne

Providing a solution for those who might not know what do to right now – excellent post. Great video too.

[Reply]

Gavin great response to what has happened I think any business would suffer if it got banned from facebook that is to huge a market to lose. But the good that will come out of this is that people will learn how to market smarter and in a more value based way.

You’ve covered this topic well Gavin and I’m another one of those who is sick and tired of hearing about this program. I’m extremely happy for those who love it and are doing well but it’s not for everyone.

I’m curious about the commenting system that is attached to each blog. I’m sure that will remain in place but perhaps not post to Facebook.

Thanks for sharing with us how you’ve been able to get around this Gavin. Great job!

Gavin…great insight. It seems that way too many people are infected with the virus called “Diarrhea of SPAM”. People are tired of it. The really unfortunate thing is that it is usually a small percentage of the entire group that creates the problem. You are providing an intelligent work around that works. We must all learn to be innovative. We must use our heads. Create new ways to drive market share. Thanks.

[Reply]

Excellent solution Gavin. I can readily see that you have accumulated a great deal of knowledge as to how to have a pro active, productive online business. Over the next few weeks I am looking forward to learning more. Thanks.

[Reply]

Well, I’m not with Empower Marketing, but I’m sure that must have been a huge shock for those who are. I’m glad you here to help them with this issue, Gavin.

[Reply]

It just goes to show that you can’t just smack up a load of links and think you’re going to be rich over night, which is basically what a lot of new internet marketers expect to do. It’s no different Facebook canning EN to Google ‘slapping’ Squido and eZine Articles. If you’re going to do something, you need to do it right and to do that, you generally need experienced guidance, which is exactly what you get here guys…

[Reply]

You’re slick Gavin:)

Although I don’t use EN, hopefully what you share here will help some folks!

[Reply]

I am a newbie to all of this so I am not familiar with Empower Network. After reading all that you had to say, maybe that isn’t such a bad thing. Being new to something has it advantages at times. In this case it certainly does. I am not having the difficulties other are having as a result of FB’s actions.

[Reply]

Hi Gavin. Great article to encourage people who are in the Empower Network. Like you said, there is probably mass panic at this point. It’s great to have leaders out there like you who when you run into a glitch, you bounce back and then inform people what to do and encourage them in the process. Love that about you. Really first class.

[Reply]

Just goes to show you can get too much of a good thing! To be honest I have had numerous spam messages from people I don’t know via FB all trying to sell me one thing or another. I agree that it should not happen, but it is the minority who are spoiling it for the majority, I’m sure. Great for those who have spread their net much wider and do not rely on this source though. Hopefully it might filter out some of the unscrupulous ones.

Enjoy the journey.

Hey Gavin,
As always, you present solutions to problems that can creep up on us internet marketers. I don’t use Facebook for my main source of traffic. In fact, FB has become some what of a joke when you are looking at ways that businesses are built. Specifically, there IPO nightmare. People have lost a lot of money in all their spammy hype. Maybe they will go the way of MySpace.

[Reply]

Aw… the growing pains of a new business that is rapidly adding numbers. It is hard to manage the growth of something that is moving as fast as EN. This kind of thing happens when moving in this way. Knowing Dave & Dave this will work itself out and they will continue on their journey of “Guru / Facebook Slaying”

[Reply]

Thanks Gavin, for these tips. It goes to proves that spamming does more harm than good. i hope people learn from this.

[Reply]

I just love this Gavin!! Of all the stuff I’ve seen floating around, this is the most straight forward, informative solution. It not only makes perfect sense, but this is ‘proper professional’ marketing…no shortcuts. Brilliant content as usual

[Reply]

Hi Gavin,

Leave it to you to step up and take leadership on this problem. The people in your Ten Ten Formula are learning correct marketing strategies. I’m sure EN will come back on its feet shortly. But people have to realize they cannot just go out there like a bunch of wild horses.

Gavin, you have always been a leader since I’ve met you and only hope that others will follow your methodology in EN. It is the only way it will work.

BRAVO!
Donna Merrill

[Reply]

Gavin yes it is unfortunate what has happened but hopefully the people do decide to stay will become much better marketers for it. Now they will have to be creative and put some thought into their efforts instead of this pray and spray method we have seen.

As a fellow All In Lifestyle Club member, I can honestly say that the greatest thing about going this route, rather than simply joining Empower Network (which is a great platform, by the way) is not just the approach of not doing the same thing every other Tom, Dick and Harry Empower Network user out there is doing, and not even the great tools that are offered as bonuses, but the actual real-life relationship that are being built within the group. This is true social networking as it’s meant to be!

[Reply]

Gavin… am not happy that our links cannot be freely shared on Facebook…but I am also not sad about it. Real marketers are going to continue earning income and will be able to keep moving forward with ease. I haven’t found that y business is suffering. Others are finding it to be more difficult. I just pray that marketers who are unsure of what to do now can reach out ad find the help that they need. EN is still a great company, and I am grateful for what it offers us! Love your article, Gavin!
