About Me
My Journey
In 1999 my wife and I started a business, Cash Flow Programs, after seeing Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) speak at a seminar. I was inspired!
I immediately bought his board game, CASHFLOW. Once I played it a few times, I invited some friends over to do likewise. We had fun. From there things snowballed until we were running big Cash Flow nights in hotel function rooms! To keep pace we purchased 10 games – at almost $300 a pop.
But it was fun and that’s all I wanted – to have some fun. From there we decided that we should turn our fun game nights into a business. And that’s how Cash Flow Programs was born. I love doing deals and making sales. But there is something I love more than thatI love to teach. People say I’m a natural at it.
Not Everything Goes to Plan
In 2005 I got the idea to start a home loan brokerage.
I thought it would be a natural extension to our activities in real estate. I was wrong. After spending a fortune, and losing the best part of a million dollars, we stopped the business, and closed the office in 2008. In hindsight, my wife and I were probably the wrong people to be involved in this type of business. In other words we were not a ‘good fit’. This was not helped by the life threatening illness my wife contracted during this period. Something had to give.
My Start As An Internet Marketer
In 2006 I was looking for another source of income. I was fascinated by the Internet, even though I did not have a clue as to how it worked, or how to make money from it. But I knew some people were making money, and I liked the idea of working from home – or anywhere for that matter. Finding the right business model to align myself with, was a challenge. But within a couple of months, I had found a great upmarket educational product, focused on wealth and self development.
I also liked the high profit margin, as well as the marketing system the supplier company had developed. Less than a month after starting in September 2006, I made my first dollars. And I have been making them ever since.
How Can I Help You?
If we do business together I will mentor you into this great industry. I will teach you the same techniques I have used to make good money from early on.
Dearest Kim,I’m starting to wonder about the nice guy finishing first. I am trying everything to help others and I am getting nowhere. Cancer forced me to turn to the internet, now I love it and I want to help others do the same, to remain productive in life and not give up. I am doing the affiliate marketing, I have followed Mike Dilliard, Joe Schroeder, Diane Hochman, Rosalind Gardner, oh my the list goes on. I understand they are all here for money, but geez the little guy on Social Security has a hard time with these $700 packages. I have 2 websites, simmonswebmarketing.ws & simmonswebmarketing.com, I am starting a new one Cynthia L Simmons to promote my Ebook “A Breast Cancer Notification”. How do I get my feet off the ground?

Hi Cynthia Thank you for your comments. If you have followed some of the gurus, as stated, the question I have for you is this: "What have you done with the information you learned?" Because i know their strategies are sound, and if correctly implemented - work very well. Implementation is key, and maybe you have a problem with implementing what you have learned. If so, let me know the specific problem, and i will see if I can help. Kim
Hi Kim, What a great blog. Good to 'meet' with you again. Keep up the great work! Richard, UK.
Long time no hear Richard! Great to connect again. Kim
Kim, since you hadn't replied to Chris above re Dubli, let me put in my 2 cents. Dubli is NOT a nice example of MLM. It's presence in the industry does harm, and risks tainting others. People have a right to know what you stand for - and against. Nice work on this blog (especially this post, Kim http://kimwillis.net/learn-how-to-generate-mlm-leads-with-blogging/) and nice videos too.
Hi Martin I've been moving house - back on deck now. Thanks for your comments. I'm still not sure about Dubli. Time will tell I guess
If you are interested in making some money I am launching an internet based deal of the day business in Australia. If you marketed the site i would offer 10% of first weeks profits as payment. The bigger you make us the more $ you can make.. Contact me if you are interested?
Great Blog. Your article is what I did to get started Robert inspired me too.

Hi Cynthia All of the mentors mentioned are good people. Their info is first class. The info you supplied is too scant to diagnose the problem. But first step is to get a URL that features the keyword you are bidding for. Therefore Simmons Web Marketing will not do the job. Kim
Yep, I also got hooked on Kiyosaki 's first book and CASH FLOW game. First hear about him in an mlm meeting and went to several seminars where he spoke. Also go the kids game for my children. We recently got his latest book, also interesting. Where are you located? BTW who is the last video you have on your site, I recognize the first two, but ...... What mlm etc are you in or helped you along the way? Tenny
Yes, I had large groups of people playing the board game Cash Flow. That was more than 10 years ago, but it was good fun. In ref to mlm, the best experience I had was with Herbalife 20 years ago. I was mentored by the then Number 1 distributor in the world. It had a profound effect on me. I no longer participate in MLM - I stick to affiliate marketing and direct sales programs.
Excuse me Kim, If you want to market a product or service on the internet then do it. But don't bag other companies like Dubli. Dubli is an evolving company, it will take 7 - 10 years to reach a tipping point. You obviously don't understand the business model after reading your posts. So please stick to Carbon Copy pro or whatever you are selling, I'm sure Jay would not like you bagging other companies for your own gain. Good luck, but please be fair.
Hi Kim, I like your work and have enjoyed reading your blog. I would like to introduce a subject, not new but just something many internet marketer and entrepreneurs have not really explored, that is 'Virtual Real Estate'. What is it? How do you earn money from it? Is it a sellable asset? Does it grow in value? Welcome any thoughts from you and others who follow your blog.
