The following is a guest post regarding the business opportunity with FreedomRocks.
FreedomRocks has a unique value proposition: achieve financial freedom using two dynamic income generating vehicles – network marketing and managed FOREX and futures trading programs. FreedomRocks is offering their program at exactly the right time. According to the popular financial media, the average person has lost over 40% of their net worth during the past 18 months. During this same period, it is likely these same people have gone deeper in debt. If they are baby boomers, they are now wondering will it be possible to build a retirement nest-egg while funding their children’s education, paying for health care, and perhaps paying for the care of their elderly parents.
If a baby boomer is relying on the traditional returns of the typical stock and bond portfolio, 7-9% per year, to rebuild their retirement nest-egg, it is mathematically impossible for them to recover the 40% loss and be able to retire in the next 10 to 15 years.
FreedomRocks provides an alternative way for baby-boomers to reach their retirement goals. Freedom Rocks can show them how to effectively reduce their debt, build additional income through network marketing, and then build their portfolios through leveraged but risk-controlled FOREX and futures trading programs. ~Written by Richard Anastasi

Zealous Marketing had the opportunity to sit with Blake Mallen, CMO and Ryan Blair, CEO of ViSalus. The following is a review based on that meeting with Zealous CEO, Joe Perez on January 28, 2009.

ViSalus is an innovative concept that has effectively grafted a superior network marketing product in the health and wellness space with an optimized social networking platform - Vi-Net. The timing is near perfect, in my opinion, as the these are significant trends/shifts in cyberspace at the present. After sampling their product line and reviewing their ingredient/functionality comparisons to health industry leaders, I must admit I was very impressed overall with their potential in these saturated markets.
Features of the Vi-Net Social Network in their own words:
• A social network for ViSalus Distributors, Customers and Friends
• An interactive daily guide to reach your life, health and prosperity goals!
• A place to track your nutrition and weight using sophisticated online tools
• The most efficient group management technology in direct sales
• A virtual academy with video training delivered online all the time!
• A suite of marketing and exposure tools to help you build your business fast!
• A community of like-minded people empowering and supporting each other.
In my initial research (and for the sake of getting this first post published expediently), these are the ups and downs that are being addressed as I write.
Downsides
- Saturated market with substantial Direct Response Marketing and PR Optimization required by ViSalus on a national/global scale for independent distributors to compete in the health and wellness space effectively
- Negative “propaganda” slandering the ViSalus brand in SERP’s (search engine results pages) because of their network marketing related business model - however, this is always to be expected in this space
- The ViSalus Social Network Vi-Net is the first major integration of these trends (network marketing and social networking) and may see alot of the competition “jump on the bandwagon” in months to come
Upsides
- ViSalus is backed by a successful publicly traded corporation - Blyth BTH. Blyth provides ViSalus capital, leverageable assets and domain expertise to facilitate ViSalus‘ aggressive expansion plans over the next several years. This is a network marketing industry first!
- Superior products - dietary supplement formulations supported by a highly credible expert scientific advisory board.
- Extremely lucrative compensation structure that is able to payout expediently due to their capital and assets - incentivized by a practical and attainable BMW car program.
- Vi-Net, the Visalus Social Network, has simplified features for a wider range of interactivity by novices through experts in social networking with easy mobile picture and video integration for personalization and building content.
In closing, I feel that the ViSalus business opportunity is definitely a worthwhile investment and solid business opportunity in the short term with explosive viral marketability. I do, however, have much more research to complete before we can project long-term/sustainability. Overall, I am confident in predicting that this company will become a major player in the industry well within their first 3 years.

Zealous Marketing has entered negotiations with Green Leaf Apartments to provide geo-targeted SEO for 6 of their Green Leaf Apartments communities. Zealous Marketing has started the strategic proposal process by beginning research and development on over 500 keyword phrases and long-tail search terms and is currently providing real-time analytics for geo-targeted search terms and IP targeting.

Green Leaf Partners is a Northern California-based real estate investment firm that specializes in acquiring, repositioning and operating multi-family communities in markets that demonstrate positive growth fundamentals and have a constrained apartment supply. The firm was founded in 2008 as an affiliate of RCMG and K. Wayne Rice and Associates, Inc (KWR). Green Leaf Partners intends to create an investment fund to capitalize on RCMG’s and KWR’s investment opportunities and expertise.
KWR was founded in 1994 by Wayne Rice. Since then Wayne has successfully acquired approximately 5,000 units and generated an average IRR of 23.5% in markets throughout the country. In 2006, Wayne and the members of his team founded RCMG as an affiliate of KWR with the intention of leveraging KWR’s strategy and track record into larger institutional-type assets. In less than two years RCMG acquired over 1,000 units in markets throughout the country. All of the company’s assets are well positioned to generate attractive returns.
In 2008, the principals of RCMG decided to create a fund to capitalize on an attractive apartment owner’s market that the principals foresee over the next three to five years. Green Leaf Partners aims to brand its apartment assets under a new name -“Green Leaf Apartments” - demonstrating the company’s commitment to sustainable and environmentally-friendly housing. Environmentally friendly practices will help the company gain recognition in the market for its forward -thinking approach to unlocking value in older apartment assets through the addition of select environmentally-friendly upgrades.
Zealous Marketing has been asked to create a strategic web estate development proposal to include geo-targeted SEO as well as becoming dedicated webmasters for all of Green Leaf Apartments projects in the future.

Zealous Marketing has acquired the domain entity (entity is defined as including the most important extensions of that domain name including .net, .org, .biz, .info etc…) Twisted Bid and will be developing a private label auction targeted to the younger demographic ages 18-24 in initial launch phases. Upon being able to ascertain solid analytics regarding that demo, Twisted Bid will then begin launching in test phases for the purposes of defining successful marketing platforms for this niche. As I write this post, the domains are propagating and we are excited and highly optimistic on the revenue and analytics this project will provide.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 24, 2008 — After successful test launches in European markets, new online auction house, DubLi, launches in North and South America.
DubLi is an innovative online reverse auction platform that was strategically launched for beta testing in European markets and generated 1.3 million users in 6 months. Due to the unique DubLi business model and marketing strategy generating a buzz in the network marketing community, DubLi is currently spreading virally through the US internet and affiliate marketing space at an exponential rate.
DubLi has taken an innovative approach to online auctions by offering members the ability to purchase or “win” products and vehicles in three unique auction formats — where the item price goes down instead of up. Products range from automobiles, solid gold bars, and high-end electronics, to trendy personal care products and authentic designer fashion accessories such as Calvin Klein, Louis Vitton and Gucci.
DubLioffers shoppers 3 exclusive online auction platforms in which to shop, each with a unique format. The user is required to register then purchase or have been gifted DubLi credits to become a member and shop in the DubLi auctions. DubLi credits have a cash value of $.80 each and are spent to reveal the price of a particular item for auction. Revealing the price, by spending a single DubLi credit, reduces the cost of the item. Should the user choose not to purchase the item at that precise moment for the price revealed, the price is reduced for the next user. To continue this example, the next user would click to reveal the price and thereby reduce it further should they choose not to purchase and so on. However, in the Zero auction, the goal is to spend your DubLi credits to reduce the price of the item to $0.00. The item is “won” by the user who is the last to click, revealing the price, which reduces it to zero.
The affordability, interactivity/entertainment value, ease of use and quality of products of the DubLi online auction are the key factors in DubLi’s projected success. “We are eager to see the market share of EBay’s reported $59 billion last year that DubLi is able to capture,” states Zealous Marketing CEO, Joe Perez.




At long last we have finally acquiesced to the requests from our subscribers and twitter friends to write, “at least the basics of what you do for press release optimization“, so here it goes.
by Joe Perez CEO, Zealous Marketing

So what we see here is the lack of “free music” anywhere in the first part of the press release. Now this is the VERY important area of your press release. You’ll want to have one keyword, if not the whole keyword set, in the headline and also in the summary (the “mini headline”). You also want to include the keyword at least 3-5 times in the press release body itself. Don’t over do it! The rule of thumb here is to have one keyword set text linked per hundred words. Getting to text links…

To insert anchor text is the same thing as hyperlinking. Simply highlight the word (like you would to delete it or format it) and right click the mouse and select hyperlink. Enter your website address or the web page on your website you would like the traffic to go to. For “white hat” sake, PLEASE make sure the website you are linking to is more than relevant for that keyword and not spam. An advanced technique here, and feel free to contact Zealous Marketing directly to expound on this, is to make sure your keyword is in your title tags for your website for OPTIMUM results.
These are the VERY BASICS of press release optimization. Perhaps, if time permits between projects, I’ll post the next level of press release optimization that includes how you can time your press release to coincide with the newsletters from various top level corporations that include RSS feeds in their newsletters. This now opens your press release to the entire audience and database of the top level corporations that have hundreds of thousands of newsletters going out! Or, if you just can’t wait for that post and would like a PR consultation, please contact us by clicking here, Contact Zealous Marketing. And as always, please feel free to Register Here and Leave Comments. Your feedback is welcome and greatly appreciated. OR, you can follow the CEO on Twitter.
PRESS RELEASE OPTIMIZATION UPDATE:
I have found an article to be extremely valuable in your next steps from here. This is a great collection of strategies and, although they can be expounded upon individually, this provides a GREAT reference point for key componants in your PR optimization.

Upon careful research of the DubLi REVERSE auction platform heading to the US after successful beta testing in Germany (to the tune of 1.3 Million users in 6 months), Zealous Marketing has decided to aid in the North and South American launch of DubLi and become a “licensee” of the DubLi Business Model.
