“Pay It Forward” is one of my favorite catch phrases, mottos, words of wisdom and whatever other title you want to give it.
It’s the idea of doing something good “forward” meaning to a 3rd party, versus just repaying favors because you feel you “owe” them.
In the mainstream… it was born from this movie:
Suppose your car breaks down one morning… in a panic, you call a friend who had the day off and ask him to drive you. He does. He just did you a favor… it would be simple to say I “owe you” (which is true). But what about also doing a favor for someone else in the world? Randomly. Without expecting anything in return. Without feeling an obligation. Just for the sake of it?
That’s “paying it forward”.
And I believe in it whole heartedly.
In fact…
Here is a picture of me wearing a Pay It Forward bracelet that I was given by Trevor ‘Toe Cracker’ Crook, a world respected top-copywriter (he was one of the featured speakers at my annual Canada Marketing Summit):
I aim to earn the title of “The Genie” more and more seeing as I really focus on random acts like this in my life.
I also aim to GIVE without expecting anything in return.
This page, the resources here that cost me time (and sometimes even money) to assemble and, of course, years of experience… this is just ONE example.
And I believe MANY can benefit from learning of the freebies at this page. I’d invite you to tell others of this freebies series: on your blog, to your newsletter subscribers, via your forum signature, through your Facebook status, with Twitter, directly to your friends, to your downline, etc.
Below is a short checklist of how you can tell others of http://RobTheGenieToth.com and this free cash-creation content …
* post a mention on your blog
* change your Facebook status and post the link there
* “tweet” it from your Twitter account
* add it as one of your ads on your traffic exchanges
* post it as a signature into your autoresponder emails
* change (or add to) your favorite forum’s signature with a short text message
* email your close peers directly
* contact all your directly sponsored associates (as this is great training for them on “lead/prospect generation” and costs them nothing)
* notify all of your past affiliates (again, this will help them better sell)
* send a broadcast mailing of this “gift” to your subscribers
* change your Skype status and mention it there
* bookmark it with your favorite bookmarketing service
* post a link to these freebies from your Squidoo and Hubpages
*** TIP ***
While all of the above will help others learn of what my team and I have assembled here for FREE… and while I’m sure everyone would thank you for the courtesy heads-up about all this, *YOU* actually benefit big if you notify downline partners or your own in house affiliates.
In each case, this traffic course and other freebies will turn them into better overall marketers. All for free. And YOU obviously benefit if your downline or your affiliate base has a lot more *trained* marketers in it.
Feel free to post a Comment on here and let me know what page you’ve posted a mention on … that will also give more traffic back to your own page.
(And if you learned of this from someone else’s mention… feel free to post a public “thank you” to them using the Leave A Comment link below).
Are You On Twitter? Use this form to send a tweet… it would be appreciated … AND THEN use the “Leave a Comment” link at the bottom-right to leave your Twitter username and increase your Twitter following. MY TIP: People need a reason to “follow” you, so give a quick 1 to 2 line bio about yourself along with your Twitter user id. Please send a quick Tweet below…

Rob you are awesome,
I remember seeing that movie years ago. At the time I had my Locksmith business going for 35 years before retirement. My wife used to get calls for Auto openings, the person on the other end would tell her that they did not have any money and all sorts of stories, or they had a child locked in the car or a small dog hit the button while at the gas pump. It was then up to me as to what I would do. On average it’s take no more than 5 to 10 second’s to open an automobile. I gave them a bill and told them if they could without taking food out of their children’s mouths to forget it. That gave me a good feeling. I got a lot of business through these people. Then about three years after I had opened a car for a young lady, I got a check in the mail. I could not believe it, so I mailed it back to her. What a feeling it is to pay back. That’s why I praise you for paying back it is very honorable of you to do this.
This is really just the second time I have bothered to make a comment, and the first was also to you.
So without further ado.
I say From Me and Mine to You and Yours, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy NewYear.
God Bless
Ted begin

I have sent a tweet to all of my followers on twitter and facebook. I hope they all download your wonderful lessons. I saw pay it forward and I love the concept.
Thanks Rob, for another great freebie. You are one of the few marketers whose emails I always read. Having been promoting your Future of Info Mktg. for a while now, I know you always provide useful information, and I look forward to it.
Quinton… “I downloaded the first audio but could not get it to open or play. It says unknown file.” …
The audios are standard .mp3 . It may be that during the download, the file was corrupted. Simply try it again. Otherwise, use an alternate media player to open the audio. Not much I can tell you, unfortunately, since it is indeed just MP3 and well over 1000 individuals have reviewed the audios.
If you do have troubles though, feel free to shoot in a support email.
I am in the process of starting on the internet and have been at a
standstill of where to start,I am what could be described as overloaded with information. However as soon as I download your whole parcel here,I know where I am going to start. In short, you are now not only my Genie, but my Hero as well. All of my future work will be based on what you have provided today and in the future.
I’ve recently downloaded a program called Ping Fire so I can Ping right from FireFox, so guess what my first Ping was about…that’s right me! LOL Just kidding, it was this: “Generate an unlimited number of web page visitors, opt-in subscribers, leads, prospects for any of your offers and promotions… http://www.howtogetprospects.com/”
Rob, what an awesome collection of material you are giving away. You are definitely living and breathing the “Pay if Forward” philosophy. You are a great ambassador and example for this movement. I to will be paying it forward and letting everyone know about your site. Good job man!
I want to thank you for all the information and downloads you’ve given us.
You are definitely “The Genie” – I’ll be posting a page on my blog
with your stuff on it,
Rob thanks, you are in fact a “Genie” I have had so much fun reading and learning from you. I wish you everything of the best in your future since you are an exceptional human and the concept “pay it forward” should be everyone’s catch phrase. By giving freely, you receive.
Thanks for your wonderful products, I have your past collection of “Traffic generation explosion” and now this one, You over deliver as usual. I’m a great beleiver in “pay it forward”, this is one of the lights that guided me through all my life and I have a page on my blog called “spread the love & pay it forward” as well.
Trevor ‘Toe Cracker’ Crook (an incredible copywriter if you ever need one) handed me a neat little bracelet with the words Pay It Forward on it during the 2009 Canada Marketing Summit where he was one of the 16 speakers I had the pleasure of hosting.
He gave me the bracelet out of the blue without even knowing that it was a concept I entirely believe in, preach and practice.
I still wear that bracelet from time to time… it sits here on my office bookshelf. Always close by.
If YOU would like a similar bracelet, he makes them available for FREE (yes, more freebies!)… head over to his page:

Hello again, Rob.
Must say I think the ‘Pay it Forward’ concept is a great idea.
Certainly will participate.
