Admin Update

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year! Quick update. I will send out a more in
depth update after the Christmas weekend.

The product is now in place. Normally members receive 1000
fresh leads but right now the system is set at 2000. See
official launch incentives below. Login to your members area
to download your leads.

The members forum is now live. We will be adding training
videos and more categories after the holidays. If you would
like you can check the forum out and converse with other
TVI-GAT members in there. To access the forum, you do not
need to login. It's currently a members only forum. Just
login to your TVI-GAT members area and look for the Forum
link on the left, near the bottom.

You will also notice a new Orientation Video. It's a GOOD
one. We already have lots of great feedback about it. You
can learn a lot about how the TVI-GAT system works and how
to use different parts of your members area by watching the
video. That's the first of several videos we'll be adding.

The official launch for TVI-GAT, up until now, has never
been announced or scheduled because we needed a product in
place to make us legal. Now that we have that I have set a
launch date for January 15, 2010. That will give everyone
at least 2 weeks to promote the official launch. Take
advantage of this. People react to launches very well. It
makes them feel like they are getting in early. Even though
we do have over 10,000 members, we will be building this
thing to 100,000+ so technically they are getting in early.

I am offering 2 incentives to anyone who joins between now
(actually 6 days ago when the product was available) and
Jan. 15th.

1) Members who join prior to launch will receive double
the normal leads. Currently set at 2000 and will go back
to 1000 the day we launch, so make sure they know to grab
their leads prior to the 15th.

2) Everyone who joins between now and midnight the night
of the 14th will receive one share in a company managed
ad campaign with at least $10,000 devoted to that campaign.
Note: This is an extra and the ad campaign will not start
until shortly after the launch date so nobody should plan
on this f.ree share supplying their 2 referrals. The launch
date is more than 2 weeks out and that could put someone in
NPA status by then so encourage people to either sponsor 2
or buy 2 and anyone extra they get from their free ad share
will likely give them sponsoring bonuses which I would
consider a rebate on their membership fee.

After this weekend I will type up a nice email ad and
subject line to help you promote the official launch and
you will see that ad appear in the ads section of your
members area.

Spend some time with your family this weekend. That's what
it's all about and what I intend to do. I don't plan on
working at all until Monday. I don't expect you to either.
This is my favorite holiday of the year and the only time
I get to see some people I care about. When the holidays
are over, I'll begin some major ad campaigns for TVI-GAT.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Admin Update

Believe me, I wanted to send you all an update over a week ago. I've been waiting for a server upgrade first because our server has been pounded with such heavy traffic that the load, even on a dedicated server with dual processors, has been too much. The last mass update sent out took over 3 and a half hours to process.
The good news is, we now have a new, second, more powerful server added and online. The new server is the newest i7 8-core processor with 8Gb of fast DDR3 RAM. It did not replace the old server. It was added to it.
I have been so eager to get this update out so I can tell you all how successful our new ad co-op has been! After just one week our overall site traffic and new paid members increased 50-80%. Several more people qualified to be enrolled in TVI Express within days of the new co-op launching. We went from 60,000 hits a day to just under 100,000 hits a day and from 150 to 250 paying signup's a day. That was all with only 850 shares sold during that first week.
The ad co-op is therefore highly recommended. It's inexpensive and passive. We try to keep most of the ad campaign shares at $15 or less on purpose. That way you only need 1 referral bonus to cover your cost. Sometimes you will see some ads that cost less than $10 per share and sometimes they are more than $15 but most of the time they will be within $10 to $15 per share.
Remember, when you buy a share in the ad co-op any referrals delivered to your downline, to someone who paid for referrals, will give you a $15 sponsorship bonus, paid instantly to your account balance and then to your AlertPay account the following Thursday. Our splash page converts very well and we have a follow up message series that also converts well.
We have about 5 or 6 people now managing the ad campains in the co-op. Each person has lots of marketing experience and several sources they know are very responsive. We are also each testing new sources all the time. You also have access to statistics for every ad campaign once it runs the 2nd time, so you can see what the performance has been like in the past.
You know I have been pushing TVI-GAT as a true, and huge, team effort, right? Well think of the ad co-op as every member's way to make that happen. If every existing member purchased just one share for $10 every month that would give us a $100,000+ advertising budget. Do you think that kind of advertising would generate some referrals? You bet it will. Only $10 a month spread out among all the members can really make a huge difference and that's the kind of team effort I want to be involved with. Don't you? Everyone benefits but no single person has to do all the work.
One thing I would like to add, because some of the ad managers have asked me to inform you of this, is that not all ad campaigns start as soon as the shares are all sold out. I had one for example that is all Ezine solo ads. Ezines are not published daily. More like bi-weekly or even monthly. The one drawback is the waiting time but the advantage makes it worth the wait. The response rate is normally twice that of safelist contact solo ads. So please don't hound the ad managers. Just keep track of the clicks in your members area and you will know when the ad goes out.
We are currently working on the product module. That should be finished and online very soon. Probably within 3 days. That's the one thing we need to make us a legal entity and also allows me to announce an official launch date. Technically, since we have been up and running for 2 and a half months now, people already in will feel like we launched a while back, but if we can add to our advertising that we are about to launch, it will create a huge surge in memberships so plan on taking advantage of that.
Some of you may have heard some more false rumors about TVI Express lately. I want everyone to know TVI Express is not only paying but there are now many more people cycling every week for that $10,000 than there were just a month ago. If you've been with TVI-GAT long enough to witness our growing pains, try to imagine a company going through 100 times more growth or traffic. It's TVI's popularity that is the reason TVI-GAT is so popular. The rumors you might hear about TVI are 99% created by networkers who find TVI to be a threat to them and some other business they are trying to promote. It's their strategy, and not a very good one, to discredit TVI any way they can so they can divert people's attention toward some other program. The best due diligence you can get is your own. By talking to someone in TVI and asking them if they or their upline are cycling and getting paid. The answer to that question is a FIRM YES.
Our Alexa traffic ranking now puts us in the top 26,000 websites in the world, and the top 6000 in the USA. All this with absolutely no SEO technology implemented yet and only 33 other websites linked to ours. This is a phenomenal accomplishment.
Christmas is right around the corner. Personally, I will spend every minute I can promoting TVI-GAT straight through the holidays but like most people I will want to spend some quality time with my family as well.

Programmer Update

We are happy to announce that we have activated a new software package to facilitate an advertising co-operative system.
We have several TVI-GAT members who have a good deal of experience in online advertising who have been approved to manage coop advertising campaigns in our system.
Log into your back office and click on "Purchase Co-op Advertising" on the left menu to see a list of available ads that are slated to run. You may purchase any number of available shares from the coop for your or any other member account you choose. Once an ads shares are sold out, the ad will be run and you will receive a "share" (rotated disbursal) of the traffic that is generated from the advertising directly to your system capture page!
This is our latest development in arming our members to the teeth with options that keep you in control of your business growth ... enjoy!
NOTE: As this is a brand new system, many of our professional advertisers have just set up new AlertPay Accounts and integrated them with our system to be fully automated through the payment process. As this is the case, some of them can not yet accept credit card payments, but are working on applications and will have that functionality in the next few days. If you have an AlertPay balance, you can purchase shares now. If you need to pay with a credit card, PayPal or some other method, please review the Ad Description when viewing an ad as many of our advertisers have special instructions to accommodate other payment methods.
TVI-GAT has developed this software to help facilitate teamwork and cooperative advertising cost sharing, but need members to remember that when you purchase shares in an advertising campaign, you are purchasing directly from the advertiser and not from the company.
ALSO: We are receiving a good number of tickets from members asking when their Purchased Referrals will be delivered. We want to explain one more time to everyone how the Referral Purchasing System works.
When you purchase referrals, you are paying for the right to have your account take priority over someone else who has NOT paid for referrals when spillover (over sponsorship) comes from your upline. It is NOT the company that is solely responsible for providing delivery of your purchased referrals, but your upline, including the company at the top of the matrix. We CAN NOT GUARANTEE when purchased referrals will be delivered. This is entirely dependent on your upline and position in the matrix and how many above you have also purchased referrals. We see many members receive delivery of their paid referrals very quickly and many that wait weeks or more for delivery. Again, TVI-GAT does not have a magical box of paid members waiting to fill your paid applications. The company works in conjunction with your upline to sponsor as many new members as we can to fill the paid referrals.
On the same note, we know it is never fun to "sit and wait" for someone upline to build your business and although we have the paid referral system, would never advise a member to "wait" and not be proactive in building their business. We encourage all of our members to actively market and promote the program. If you have paid for referrals and subsequently sponsor new members, you will automatically receive a refund for your paid referral. With our new Coop Advertising program, you now have yet another very easy way to "take control" of your business and be pro-active without having any marketing skills at all. Many of the share costs in the advertising coop are cheaper than purchasing referrals, so be sure to use this new tool before you just purchase referrals and then wait for something to happen.
We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday and look forward to helping make the rest of your holiday season a great one!

What We Are Working On

We have had a few complaints about the graphic image on the
livingdreams.biz splash page. I don't want to turn this into
a big political debate with anyone but I did not personally
create that splash page and didn't ever think about it as a
political statement. I thought it was humorous and it's the
financial statement that got my attention.

What I wanted to do was wait until my video guy gets me a
nice video to replace that graphic with but that might take
too long so today I removed that graphic and the large text
from the top of the splash page.

If anyone opened a support ticket about that graphic it will
not get a reply. We are going to resolve any tickets like
that. Some of them were rude and even vulgar and there is no
excuse for adults acting like that.

Yesterday and today we are working on the TVI Express
Enrollment process. The programming for this includes making
the money available for paid referral refunds and sponsoring
bonus to pay out on our weekly payday's. Payday is every
Thursday so we are trying our best to get this part done by
this evening so we can do our first payday today. Worst case,
if we run into delays, we should be able to pay out tomorrow.
Then every Thursday after that.

Part of the TVI Express Enrollment process is automating as
much of that as we can. That part will be done no later than
tomorrow and I will start feeding more people into TVI shortly
after that and probably over the weekend as well. Then I
think we will always have people ready to go into TVI on a
daily basis and that number will gradually grow.

Remember, you earn $100 when you cycle. You earn $20 when one
of your 2 direct referrals cycle. You earn $15 anytime you
recruit someone who falls in your downline under someone who
purchased referrals. Those are the 3 ways you can earn. The
first 2 cycles for you and your referrals are held in escrow,
but do show up in your account balance, to feed you into TVI
Express.

Any sponsoring bonuses are pooled separately so you can get
that money in your pocket weekly. After you are enrolled in
TVI Express, any other cycles for your or your referrals are
paid to your AlertPay account on Thursday's.

We actually have a lot going on in the background that you
all don't know about. For example, I'm working with a company
that I'm about to hire to insure our domain and IP address is
whitelisted with every major ISP and ESP out there. I also
just set up an account with an off-site SMTP mailer service
so updates like this will get out faster and they guarantee
100% deliverability. I'm also working on setting up a merchant
account to accept credit card payments.

There's a LOT more on the list. Most of the other items are
going to be done by Ben, the programmer, and he expects to
complete everything within the next 7 days.

Example of things still to come...

- The Non-Performing Affiliate program. This is the Matrix
Anti-Stall feature I spoke about before.
- The Product Distribution Module
- Integrated Ad Co-Op
- Feature packed Forum with Members Only and Public sides
- Professional quality videos, one of which will be 12-15
minutes explaining exactly how TVI-GAT works step by step
- Additional splash pages for members to choose from. This
will include different designs and some that are designed to
target a specific audience.
- Ability to customize the secondary splash page by uploading
a picture of yourself to use instead of my picture.
- A Getting Started section in the members area that walks
new members through the steps they need to take after they
join
- Addition of a multiple position purchase option so people
can, for example, buy a 3 pack and pay one time and the system
creates all 3 positions at one time
- Translation of the entire website to other languages.
Spanish will be the first one we do.
- Implement SEO technology once the site is complete


The tasks above are not listed in order. When the product is
in place I will announce an official launch date for TVI-GAT.
That's what will make us legal and hence, the reason I have
not announced a launch date yet.

P.S. Our Alexa ranking continues to skyrocket. When I checked
about 3 days ago we were up to 42,000 and that's a 3 month
average. The previous day's rank was 13,200. There are
millions of websites out there.

New Capture Page

We are happy to announce the release of your newly integrated prospect capture system!

Log into your back office and view your new capture system link at the top of each page in red.

Your capture page is designed to capture the personal contact information of your prospects that respond to your advertising.

When a prospect visits your capture page and enters their personal information, they will be added to your new Contact Manager (in your back office on the left menu), be inserted into an administratively run autoresponder that will automatically market to them via email on your behalf and you will be notified via email that your have a new prospect and provide their contact information.

The purpose of a capture system is to enable you to become personally involved with your prospects at the beginning of the sales process, so please be sure to contact your prospects that respond to your ads, identify yourself and help them get the answers they need to make a decision.

Your new Contact Manager is a very simple feature that will allow you to keep track of your prospects and take notes on your prospects as you speak with them personally.

Since each member now has a personal site at www.livingdreams.biz, please start marketing your personal capture page instead of the root address (www.livingdreams.biz). The system is currently designed to be reverse compatible and will still ask prospects who their sponsor is if you have older marketing out there, but we will be removing this feature in 2 weeks, so be sure to start advertising your new capture link instead of www.livingdreams.biz and update any marketing you can that is already live.

Enjoy!

Update from Clay - Still a LOT More Coming

I know it's been too long since I sent you an update myself
and I want to apologize for that. Honestly I've been so busy
I find it hard to believe that it's been almost 7 days since
we put the new software online.

Ok, down to business. We're getting lots of praises about
the new software but we're also getting some complaints from
people about referrals not being delivered yet. Anyone who
says that just doesn't have a clue what's been going on and
what I'm trying to do right now.

Definitely do not use the last month as a fair measure of
how long it takes to cycle or to get referrals you paid for.
Everyone should know we have never guaranteed a certain time
frame for delivery of referrals. We DO guarantee that you
will get them. What you may not understand is where all these
referrals come from.

Everyone has people above them or the company (Me) doing some
advertising to generate referrals. As those people come in
they trickle down the pipe filling the first empty holes
available. If the system gets down to your 1st level and you
have NOT paid for referrals but someone else on the same
level has, the software will give priority to the person who
bought referrals. So if you're sitting there not doing a
thing, you'll be waiting for a while.

Now that you know how that works, I need to also tell you this
program has NOT officially launched yet. I will not announce
an official launch date until we have 3 more things in place.


1) Integration of our LivingDreams.biz splash page and the
autoresponder follow up series with our affiliate site.

2) The TVI Express enrollment process - the system will track
who is qualified to enter TVI and when.

3) Our Product distribution module - The product will make us
legal. I have made arrangements with a leads provider that I
have used for many years to provide me with quality, fresh
leads on a daily basis. Every paid member will receive 1000
fresh bizopp seeker type leads for their $37. Leads will
include all contact information including phone numbers.

Look at number 1 above. Although the traffic and paid signup's
have more than doubled (daily) since the new software was put
online, there are still a lot of good marketers in TVI-GAT
who know better than to spend money on advertising when there
is no follow up series and no way to capture those visitors.
Myself included. I have pooled thousands of dollars ready to
start some major, major advertising campaigns but I will not
spend that money when I know those 2 things are not there yet.

When that is done, everyone will receive an update letting you
know. I expect the referral delivery rate to increase by 500%
or better. Today I got with the programmer to list all the
additions and enhancements still left to fulfill as part of
our original contract and I put that list in priority order.
Integration of the livingdreams.biz site is now at the top of
that list.

What we are working on right now:

1) A few more enhancements to the administrative area to help
me help you in a more expedient manner.

2) Integrating the livingdreams.biz splash/capture page, the
autoresponder follow up series, and adding a Contact Manager
to the tviglobalassistteam.com affiliate sites.

3) Add the TVI Express enrollment process.


For the next 2 weeks you are going to see a lot of additions
and enhancements. The list is long but the time frame to
complete each one is not. I will try to do a better job of
keeping you posted on our status. You deserve to have better
communication.

Two weeks from now we will be in full swing AND we will have
a new ad co-op in place. We will go from a few dozen people
actively promoting TVI-GAT to 1000's of people all promoting
us and providing referrals to our downline.


One last note. This update is already longer than I wanted it
to end up! I think there has been some confusion about whether
it's ok to get more than 2 referrals. We have a lot of people
who got their 2 and stopped telling people because they thought
they were not allowed to sponsor anymore than 2. These are
people who are very capable of getting 10, 20 or even 50+
referrals and I feel like the old FAQ page might have been the
reason for this which makes it my fault.

Let me explain very briefly. If you have 2 referrals and you
can get more, those extra people will fall in your downline
and the system will build your downline evenly level by level.
They system will also look to see if someone down there paid
for referrals and put the new person there first. That way
you get the $15 sponsorship bonus. We have some members who
are making $500+ a week just from sponsorship bonuses. That
can be a whole new income stream for you or it can give you
an ever-growing advertising budget or both.

My recommendation to you is, if you have lists or paid
memberships or free advertising sources you know work well,
then by all means slam them all with ads about TVI-GAT right
now. When the splash page is integrated don't feel shy about
paying for good advertising. It's easy to get that money back
and then some. The more people YOU have above you and below
you doing the same thing, the faster you will get into TVI
Express and cycle for that $10,000.

I know this is November but I still plan on cycling in TVI
at least twice by Christmas. I can't do that without making
several of you cycle too. So who's with me? Let's rock this
thing!


Clay M.


P.S. Be sure to check out our current Alexa.com rankings.
We are already in the top 51,000 websites on the planet.
We are very excited to announce the transfer of TVI Global Assist Team to a brand new fully automated software system!

If you have not already been informed, here is where you can log into your new back office:

http://www.tviglobalassistteam.com/affiliate/affiliates

Your Username:
Your Password:
Once logged in, please visit your personal profile by clicking on "My Profile" on the left menu to update your contact information and other required fields.

NOTE: Your username with this new system must always remain an active email address! This is important. If you change your username to something that is not an email address, you won't receive any communication from the company nor your prospects.

NOTE: Your "Referrer ID" is the piece of text that goes on the end of your new affiliate link which is currently:

http://www.tvglobalassisteam.com/?aff=XXX
(Hint: The part after ?aff= is your Referrer ID)

If you change the Referrer ID, it will change your link once you log out and then log back in. Please initially set this to something a little less "cryptic" ... perhaps your first name and last name initial in all lower case with no spaces. This will be your new affiliate link!

We have configured the new system so that your old affiliate links will remain functional so long as you leave your Referrer ID like it is now, so if you have marketing campaigns running now, not to worry, you will receive credit for all prospects who visit the program using your old links so long as you don't change your Referrer ID.

CURRENT SYSTEM TRANSFER STATUS:

We have been working for a couple of weeks to develop a very solid core engine to run this already very successful company. The very largest immediate benefit is that the signup process is now fully automated and functions in real time verifying payments during signup ... no more paying and then sending emails! No more manual entry of applications!

The core engine and members' back offices are live now and we will be changing over to the new website (looks exactly the same), support center and other new features to the live environment over the next 60 minutes. Please bear with us during this transition period as websites can be a little "fickle" when being updated in a live environment. If you happen across a page that gives you an error or does not display correctly, please just give it a few minutes and try again. We expect to have the old system gone and the new one in place in the next 1 hour.

Also, your new back office is a "bare bones" system at the moment. We will be adding all kinds of important information like who your assigned TVI sponsor is, who your 2 TVI Referrals are, the ability to purchase referrals in real time, etc... over the next 24-48 hours.

Please feel free to explore your new back office, but do not be alarmed if it seems like pertinent information is missing ... because it currently is. Building the core database and bringing the new automated system online has been a major project and taken some time, but starting today, "beefing up" your back office and it's functionality is priority #1 and is not expected to take long.

Again, please bear with us over the next 24-48 hours as we bring these tools online for you. It would be very helpful if members could avoid sending in tickets to point out what is missing from your back office at this time. Give us 2 days and we are sure you will be very pleasantly surprised at what we have built for all of us.

Thank you very much in advance for you patience as we prepare to formally launch TVI Global Assist Team and put you in a position to earn a substantial income online with the program!

Thanks,

Ben Davis, Lead Programmer
