A majority of network marketing companies pass off a very dangerous half-truth to their distributors. It goes something like this, "Anyone can do this network marketing business!" This idea is also implied in blanket statements like this one, "Make $20,000 a month in just 2 years!" This would lead anyone to believe that in just two years, they can go from zero to hero, regardless of their experience, skill sets, and financial status.

The simple fact of the matter is this, not all network marketers are created equal. All mlm distributors enter the race at different starting points, and some are definitely closer to the finish line than others. Some people have enormous head starts on others in terms of experience, skills, time, and money, and just because some people were able to successfully hit $20,000 a month in just two years doesn't mean that everyone will accomplish this.

The problem lies with network marketing companies pumping up their distributors to believe that anyone can immediately jump right into their business and achieve the same results as the big mlm players. What these network marketing newbies aren't told by their uplines, sponsors, or companies, is that often times the big, top money earners move from company to company. When this occurs, they pile all of their experience, their marketing system, their huge guru status, as well as a big portion of their downline into a U-haul and move everything with them. This makes it very easy for them to start earning massive commission checks almost immediately with their new mlm company.

And all the poor beginners hear about is how this brand new, wet behind the ears, distributor has soared from making nothing to $30,000 a month in less than six months time, and how they can do it too! They fail to realize that behind this person's rapid rise to mlm stardom is years of experience, thousands of dollars in expenses, countless hours of hard work, and often times extensive backgrounds in sales and marketing.

For example, what if someone like a stay-at-home mom, a fireman, a car mechanic, or a construction worker wants to start their own home based business? Do you think they'll see the same kind of results in the same time period as the successful network marketing professional? I highly doubt it. It's really absurd to think that everyone in network marketing is on a level playing field, because this simply isn't the case.

There are several factors that contribute to how fast brand-new mlm reps can start making the big bucks, with the first one being skills. The most important skills that a newbie can master are sales skills. Because when distributors are involved with a top mlm company, they're involved with selling things to people. Network marketing and sales go hand in hand, contrary to what your company and upline might have their distributors believing. Sales skills can definitely be learned by anyone who wants to. It's not a magic ability that people are born with.

The second factor is the amount of time they can put into their business. To be successful, distributors need to invest at least 8-10 hours of pure action time every week. This is the bare minimum! It would be better if they could spend 12-15 hours a week, but everyone's situation is different. Some successful mlm distributors don't have day jobs, so they can work on their business full time, while others have to go to work everyday. Ultimately it comes down to how well distributors manage their time.

The third factor is the amount of money that can be spent on their business. Often times network marketing companies mislead their distributors by telling them that all they'll need to pay for is the initial start-up fee, and their mandatory monthly product orders. They fail to teach them that an ongoing monthly marketing budget is absolutely essential for running their business at full potential.

They will need this money to generate qualified mlm leads, or mlm prospects to help grow their business. There are really only two ways for distributors to obtain their own leads, they can generate them using their own advertising, or they can pay someone to do this for them. Ultimately they should strive to generate their own network marketing leads, but purchasing them from someone is a really quick way to get started. Good leads are the lifeblood of any successful mlm business, and without them even the best mlm distributors will fail.

The success of your home internet business depends on your own skills. It takes a little bit work to find out the most successful guy, who has the skills and the will to help you.

However, your home internet business process must start with a self analysis, where the present status of your home internet business will be analyzed and, of course, your talents and skills.

1. The Upliner Can Help You To Select The Right Strategy.
There are an endless amount of different strategies to the home internet business but you just cannot execute them all. You have to select the ones, which fit to your talent and which you can then concentrate and collect a deep expertise.

By telling about your earlier experiences, your education and wishes, your upline gets the picture.

2.Discuss By Email With The Upline.
The relationship between the upline and downline is like between the teacher and the pupil, so the question is not about one quick question and answer. It needs regular emails and enough time.

A positive, winning attitude is the key success factor in your internet business and the same works in the relationships with your upline. Be active and ask, ask and ask. Your upline is also thankful, that you make him to think. It will increase his skills too.

3.How To Tell The Status Of Your Internet Business?
Two things are important. Be open and be honest. Do not try to be better than you are. If your internet business promotion gives a zero results and you want to make it better, explain what you did in detail and ask what you should change.

4.Do Not Get Angry If Your Upline Criticizes You.
A healthy critique is helpful because the most stupid thing would be to run the same errors and again wonder, why the results were as bad as earlier. Remember that your internet business is a know how business, where small things matter.

5.Upline Means The Leadership.
Marketers, who have downline members, have a duty to lead the downline members. However, they cannot lead you, if they do not know your internet business. To get a taylor made consultancy, you have to ask that.

6.Go Through The List Of The Upliners.
Your affiliate program must have a list of the marketers above you. If the list includes the rank, bronze, silver, gold etc., the better. Think simply and pick a person, who has the highest rank. He is so successful, because he has the best rank.

7.Surf The Web Site Of The Upliner And Ask How He Promotes.
Because your upliner markets the same products than you on site, surf through his site and I am 100 % sure that you will get a lot of good ideas.

8.Send Your Results To The Upline.
All business should be measurable. All decisions should be based on stats, so you have to be able to tell the present status of your home internet business in numbers. For instance if your strategy includes SEO, make a stat how your site has ranked according to each keyword.

If the results are bad, your upline can give you advice according the knowledge, which is based on your earlier discussions. In this case; write five SEO articles with the keyword in question.

I am quite sure, that you do not use your upline with the full potential. My dear reader, open your PC and start mailing to your upline.

If you're currently involved with a network marketing company or if you've ever been involved with one in the past than I can almost guarantee you that you've heard this whopper of a lie at one of your Thursday night hotel meetings: "Everyone is your prospect!" Or maybe it sounded something like this: "Everyone wants this, they just don't know it yet!"

This blatant lie has some network marketers talking to everyone within a three-foot radius of them about their awesome business opportunity. Whether it's a college student waiting tables at The Olive Garden or if it's a middle-aged cashier working the register at your local gas station, they all want in on your business! Listen to that nonsense! And to think this hogwash is passed off as an effective recruiting technique by network marketing companies to their distributors.

People wonder why network marketing has such a negative reputation. I can't imagine why. Maybe it's because these pre-historic methods of recruiting have placed network marketers on the same level as that one bum outside your gas station peddling "real gold chains." It's hard to take him seriously when he's offering you a "piece of jewelry" for only twenty bucks. The same can be said for network marketers who try to recruit anything that moves and breathes into their down-lines.

Here's the truth of the matter. In network marketing, everyone isn't your prospect. This might be hard to swallow, but it's true. Everyone doesn't have what it takes to run their own business and be an entrepreneur, and some people just don't want to! Some people really enjoy waking up and going to work, and some people have all the money that they'll ever need. Whatever the reason might be, you shouldn't spend your time and energy trying to convince anyone to become involved with your business. Because no one is worth your time until they've shown an interest in what you're offering.

I can bet dollars to donuts that you've all targeted that "perfect mlm prospect." That special someone who upon joining your business will explode your downline. This person just got layed off, has tremendous social skills, knows all the right people, and would be an absolutely perfect fit for your business. Sure, you could potentially approach them, but they're not worth spending any quality time on until they're seeking a solution to their problem.

If you decide to approach your prospect this way, it shows them that you're the type of business person who isn't professional or successful enough to invest in some respectable marketing methods. You're advertising yourself and your business in a very amateur way. Again, this gets into the whole issue of all the negativity surrounding the industry, and why distributors aren't taken seriously by their prospects.

It really boils down to this. You can't chase down prospects, and give them a feverish sales pitch about your latest business opportunity. It just won't work, because this method screams desperation! Your prospects will view you as an unprofessional nuisance. In network marketing this isn't a good image to have. Who finds who first is very important. When your prospect finds you and seeks your professional opinion, you're viewed as the expert. Positioning yourself this way is definitely one of the keys to successful recruiting.

It just doesn't make any sense to headhunt and force-feed prospects who aren't the least bit interested in what you have to offer. (Crazy as that may sound) There are lots of people in the world that want to start their own business, and the people you should be spending your time with are the ones who go out of their way looking for a way to do this.

------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

Leading a downline is a challenging part of any MLM or network marketing business. But effective leadership is a vital part of helping your downline to produce at top levels.

Here are eight success strategies for effective MLM leadership.

1. Ask questions. Effective leadership involves empowering your downline to do things for themselves. Allow your downline to solve their own problems and answer their own questions. Guiding them to the answers is a matter of asking the right questions as an upline:
"What do you think you could do in that situation?"
"What worked out the best for you with this business-building event?"
"How would you handle that differently next time?"
When you are tempted to tell team members what to do, ask a question instead and allow them to discover the answer for themselves.

2. Find each individual's personal strength. Many times, the network marketing industry is so focused on duplication that we forget the fact that each individual brings a unique set of skills, strengths, and experiences. Invest some time identifying particular ways that a person can be successful with your business - even if they are beyond the duplicable system that you have set up.

3. Lead, don't push. Effective leadership doesn't involve pushing, dragging, or bribing people to success. Leading is about walking out in front of people, successfully working the business so that they will want to follow you on their own accord. It's about making personal relationships with people so that they can ask you questions. Provide the information and tools they need, and then inspire them by successfully demonstrating the example yourself.

4. Manage your time effectively. As a leader, you're constantly identifying the one thing that is the most valuable use of your time, right now. Effective leaders don't allow each of their team members to chat away for hours on the phone. View yourself as a businessperson, and keep each conversation on task.

5. Teach that consistency is the key to success. Help your downline to understand that success is never about one isolated event. It's a marathon - not a sprint - with continual and consistent baby steps. Create a list of simple business building tasks, and teach them to keep a log of the tasks completed each day. Whether it's 3, 5, or 10 tasks, let them know that success depends on how many of these tasks they commit to completing on a consistent basis.

6. Keep consistent communication. Send team updates or newsletters via email to your downline at least every two weeks. Recognize achievements as much as possible. Everyone loves to see his or her name in print. This, in itself, can be tremendously motivating.

7. Know when to move on. Recognize that you can't make anyone do anything. You can lead, but if one of your downline won't follow - it might be a better use of your time to find a more self-motivated person than to beat yourself up to motivate someone who, for one reason or another, isn't working at the business.

8. Take five. Creating a large and successful network marketing team is so fun and rewarding that we sometimes forget to take breaks - and that can lead to burnout. Take some time off every now and then, and enjoy the journey.

Would you be interested in a business opportunity that would teach you skills and techniques for motivating your present downline - while giving you another income at the same time? Details are here:

------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

There are 4 different ways you can expose your business in an ezine. You can do so through solo ads, sponsor ads, classified ads or article. You should not just place an ad in any ezine. Take some time to do your due diligence by going to ezine directories. These directories have a list of ezines and their topics. If you're targeting Realtors, then look for ezines that go out to this group. Don't target people that are not interested in what you have to offer. Make sure to read the past archives of the ezine or subscribe and receive a copy. Once you find some ezines that match your criteria, then you're ready to go.

Solo Ads.

A solo ad is an ad that goes out by itself to the entire mailing list of the ezine. There are no other ads in that mailing. Imagine that! Obviously solo ads are the best way to advertise in an ezine, but they cost more too. When you speak with the ezine publisher before submitting your ad, ask if they would put in a recommendation. This could be a simple line like "check this out". This is important because the readers like and trust the ezine publisher and the recommendation could go a long way. Don't worry if you don't get a recommendation, but be sure to ask for one.

Sponsor Ads

A sponsor ad is usually about 3 to 7 lines long. It is placed at the top of the ezine when it goes out. This is also an effective way to use ezine advertisement because of the position of your ad. In this case, your ad headline should be able to capture the reader's attention and compel them to click on it. The easiest way to get a great headline is look for ads that capture your attention and imitate them. Sponsor ads can also be placed in the middle or at the bottom of the article. You want to place yours at the top. Sponsor ads are less expensive than solo ads.

Classified Ads

These are the same as the classified ads in your regular newspaper. There can be about 3 or more classified ads in each issue of an ezine. Check to make sure you're the only one with that ad in the issue. Your headline in a classified ad must be very compelling to get the reader to click. Classifieds are the least expensive way to use an ezine, but they're also the least effective. You get what you pay for.

Articles

Writing an article for an ezine is a very cost effective and highly effective way to use an ezine to market your network marketing business. You write an article that is in line with the ezine and submit it to the ezine publisher. Once it has been reviewed and accepted, the ezine goes out with your article. This positions you as an expert in the eyes of the reader. There's a resource box at the end of the article where you get to sell yourself. Include a link to your website or capture page in the resource box.

So there you have it. Ezines are an incredible way to explode your network marketing business. Take the time to find reliable ones that target your key audience with high quality content. Then, study the headlines of ads that grab your attention and incorporate their elements into your own ezine ads. Do this and watch your network marketing or MLM business grow by leaps and bounds. More importantly, you won't be hounding friends and family to join you. You'll have interested prospects chasing you for a change.

Turn professional-professionals get paid and amatures don't. There are only two network marketing activities that produce income; retailing and recruiting. To become successful at network marketing your time must be spent every day recruiting. You are guaranteed to become a millionaire in a year by talking to 30 people a day, 5 days a week. You can talk to them on the phone, in person, have them call you. You can rip up little sheets of toilet paper write on it I'm building a Pyramid Scheme. Do you have your piece?, and include your phone number. It does not matter how you contact them, but you must tell at least 30 people a day about your business. Building a Network Marketing business is all a numbers game. It is hard work spending 2 hours a day contacting people.

Contacting people and showing them your business is the step that most people fail at. If you don't tell anyone about your business, how are you going to grow it? Rich networkers know that they must spend 2 hours a day 5 days a week recruiting people into their business and poor networkers don't. Showing your business is the key to growing your business. Spend 2 hours a day 5 days a week recruiting and become a rich networker.

Don't look for short cuts. There are many people in network marketing that are looking for a short cut and an easy way to build their business. They are looking for a system that will do it all for them. A system does not exist that will build a network marketing business for you. It-does-not-exist. The Network Marketing Business is about relationship building. Network Marketing is about people, not systems. The system is just a tool that helps with identifying people that you will contact. One great way to build your business is to contact people that have expressed an interest in working from home.

Belief- You must understand that your company is the best company. Belief in your company is essential. How to you gain belief? Purchase your company's products and start using them. Believe in them. Believe in the company's objective for this world. Does your company stand for something more than just selling products? Does your company help improve people's lives, or help the environment?

Focus-Choose one company. You must choose one company and believe in the company. It is impossible to excel at anything unless you focus exclusively on that one task

Don't Quit: There is no book written with the title "Quit and Grow Rich". Building a Network marketing business is hard work and takes consistent effort. You must continue to call people or reach people and tell them about your business. Your effort will pay off because Network marketing is the only industry that multiplies quality of life by income earned. As your income increases you will have more time to do what you want to do.

Are you faced with the two challenges of not having enough money to advertise and not enough qualified prospects to share your business with? Are your family and friends sick and tired and bored to death by your constant nagging about your opportunity? You're not alone in that mess. Here comes the funded proposal system to your rescue. Take advantage of it.

A funded proposal is a system of doing business where you generate money to fund your advertising on the front end and introduce the prospects to your opportunity on the back end.

It works like this. You find a system that is set up to sell a very valuable ebook at a small cost and you plug into it. The system should provide you with a lead capture page. This page will capture the prospect's contact information for you. When the prospect buys the valuable eBook, they get great information and you get some money to help you advertise.

The beauty of the funded proposal is that you are earning while generating qualified leads for your primary business. The lead is qualified because this is someone who is investing time and money to learn how to build a business online.

A great funded proposal system will have a system to store the leads you generate and also send out auto responder emails to them. This is important because most people take a while before they buy. By having an auto responder email go out to them with more valuable information, they see you as an expert and eventually buy.

The auto responder emails need to be personalized with your name. This looks like the emails are coming directly from you to them. But they're really coming from the excellent funded proposal system you plugged into.

You will have some leads or prospects who will call you to find out about your network marketing opportunity. But most of them won't. So, you pick up the phone and call the ones who buy the eBook. Only the buyers. This is because you're only interested in qualified prospects who've shown interest by investing in themselves. You can choose not to call and just continue by email. But calling will greatly increase your sign up rate.

The prospects just don't stumble upon your funded proposal lead capture page. You have to actively promote the page by advertising it.

It is exciting to make big money working from home. Very few actually do though for numerous reasons, and this article series is devoted to revealing why few succeed, how those that do succeed accomplish their success, and what you can expect if you really want to find success working from home.

Back to the sharks. When you get your returned phone call(s), you have no idea is calling you. But be sure of one thing, they are doing it in the hope of getting paid. Nothing wrong with getting paid, but not everyone conducts business with the same ethical standards. In fact there are way too many individuals in the industry that will tell you whatever they think you want to hear to get you to move forward with their business.

The process is simple - they call you - tell you how busy they are - then give you some websites to go see and a conference call to attend. Easy enough, anyone can learn to do that right? Then they insist that they are professionals, insist that you be the same and be at either of a couple of choices of "appointments" with them to get your questions answered. You agree on a time and then you are off to do your research.

So you go to that call, check out the website - everything looks so good, but as a normal person you have some questions; and you should. You are about to make a decision that is important, and your time and energy is the #1 resource you are risking, not the money. Money is replaceable. Your time and your emotional state and health is not.

You are really interested so you keep your follow up appointment with what seems like your harmless tour guide.. You have so many questions, and you are excited. Here's where you can be vulnerable to the seasoned professional you are about to meet. You are about to be 3-wayed to someone that has more experience at "closing". They intend to "close" you, which means, have you pull out your credit card or you get sent to the bank to get certified funds.

Meanwhile you are thinking you are just trying to get questions answered so you can consider your options.

The call comes as scheduled, the person that you first spoke with then tells you they are new to the business (in most cases) or says that they want to show you what kind of up line support you are going to get when you join, "so if you don't mind, I'd like to bring in John Hammerhead into the conversation. He's a great guy, a lot of fun to work with, and very successful. He's teaching me the ins and outs of this business, and will be teaching you".

Now in your mind something is a bit amiss right? The yellow caution light is flashing in your mind, and your original contact person can sense new resistance developing in you; and he/she should. You built rapport with that first person that called you. You wanted to speak with them more, and now here comes someone you don't know. You are about to experience the home based business shark bite.

Of course John Hammerhead is very busy so as you ask questions, he gives you short answers, and says "don't worry - you'll learn all of that when you get started". Get started you are thinking? I'm just still learning about all of this home business stuff, your brain shouts at you.

Then it happens, John Hammerhead goes for the "BITE" (close) - "well let's get you started?"

If John Hammerhead has done his job, all along the way, he has painted the picture that this is easy, just follow the "SYSTEM", and we'll be here to help all along the way.

Meanwhile you have not had enough time to Google the company or research any other businesses. You are not ready ... John Hammerhead is ready and expects you to be too because " he's looking for decisive people". Who is this all about anyway? It's about you, your life, your goals, your dreams - not John Hammerhead.

For so many people that is the first experience, you pull out your credit card and go to the website and sign up. You just signed up for your first home based business. It will probably not be your last.

At the end of the call you are congratulated for being decisive and committed to your future, etc. Meanwhile, John Hammerhead just bit a chuck out of your checking account. And you can be guaranteed that, if you enrolled in your home business this way, then you will almost certainly regret it at some point, and write it off as lesson 1 at some point in your not to distant future.

My first experience at learning about home business was from watching a TV commercial late at night. I went to the website, put my information in, and almost immediately my phone rang. People from about 8 different companies called me. I connected with one particular guy that seemed honest enough.

I had very specific criteria. No selling to friends and family and drop ship completely from Internet ordering were the headlines. Jim the "Vitamin salesman" was not resonating with me, but I figured IF it was totally turnkey online, it would just be another stream of income. After all, people buy lots of vitamins.

Jack Greatwhite just kept saying yes. I went to their call. Everyone was making all this money, it sounded great. When Jack Greatwhite called me back, he already had Bill Thebullshark on the phone with him. I was instantly in a 2 on 1. I re-capped my criteria, and told them that if everything I heard was true I was in. They said yes again. I ordered the "IPB decision kit" for $500. They got me to go ahead and signup for the marketing system, for a year (big mistake), but I felt these guys were being honest with me.

When I got my kit, the first thing I did was read the "manual" that came with it (very unusual for me), but I wanted to see their marketing model. And there is it was, on page 3 "circle of Influence", friends and family, blah, blah, blah. Right about the time I finished reading the manual, I was packing up everything to ship back, and Jack Greatwhite just happened to call. I questioned him on the "drop ship" program and then he said I needed to either sell X dollars in product first (of course by having them all shipped to my house first) for a couple of thousand dollars, or buy my way in at a higher level.

I confronted him, and essentially politely called him a liar. He back peddled and got Bill Thebullshark back on the phone, and they settled me down a little bit. At the time I didn't realize they were trying to get me past the 72 hour period with which I could get a refund (which they successfully did).

A week later, I called to cancel everything, request my refund (that's when I found out that the 10 day period began when I put my credit card in the website, not when I received my product evaluation kit. It was now day 11. I wanted a refund on the marketing system. Of course I had clicked on an agreement that said it was non-refundable. So it was a $750 lesson and introduction into the world of the dangerous shark infested waters of MLM. One year later the old wound was opened and salted when the company that provides that company's marketing system started charging my credit card without my permission. After an hour or so of my time on the phone, I finally got the charges reversed. Unbelievable.

Are all people in network marketing and home based business sharks and pilferers? Absolutely not. In fact, when 4 months later I looked again after responding to what I thought was a job ad in the newspaper. I saw the sharks coming and got back in the boat fast.

This whole exercise though led me to find a business that was legitimate, and I was able to do very well at. But I swore to myself on day 1 that if I ever had to resort to those tactics to make money, I would quit the business. (which I did in February 2007).

The best advice is take your time looking, don't let a seasoned "Networker" (shark) bully you or make you feel inadequate because you want to "think" about a particular business. Thinking about it is exactly what you should do along with some Serious Due Diligence (Research). How to go about this is the subject of another article.

I was taken advantage of because at the time I was moving "away" from a situation, and everything sounded better than where I was. By the time I picked my right business, I was moving "towards" a goal, and therefore no one was able to push or bully me.

Either you or someone you know has been the victim of a GUMP (Good Unsuspecting Money People) hunter in MLM or direct sales, creating much of the negative view of the industry.

Some network marketing, direct sales, MLM companies or other home based business opportunities in many cases have tremendous value propositions. Most do not, and they are populated with lots of hungry sharks.

OK...So you're tired, frustrated and almost ready to give up on your dreams? Well, don't. Instead, take a deep breath, relax. You've found what you've been looking for.
You want to get to the top of your company's compensation plan? Here are 5 simple steps that will get you there.

Step 1. Make Up Your Mind.

You may think you've made up your mind to get to the top, but you haven't. You'll know when you do. If you've not decided consciously to get to the top, chances are you won't. Make up your mind about it. Think about it. How will getting to the top of your compensation plan change your life? Will your family be affected? How? No, really, think about it. Once you've thought about it, if you still want it, then make up your mind. A mind made up will not waver easily. So whatever happens, DON'T change your mind. This is a solid promise to yourself and the beginning of a miracle.

Step 2. Write It Down.

Writing this goal down engages your mind, emotions and actions. This builds your commitment to get to the top. Your mind thinks it, your heart feels, your body acts it. Take this seriously. Use a notebook you like or a fancy paper. Make sure to put the date on it. Each day, take some time to write it out and read it. Write it in the present tense. Write " I'm a ...in XYZ company". Be sure to use "I am".

Step 3. Pretend It.

Do you day dream? Yes, you do. Create a day dream about your goal to get to the top of your compensation plan. Let's do it now. Relax your body, mind and emotions. Pretend that you're at the top, this moment. Watch a movie of you in your mind. You hear your name called, you see thousands of reps and hear their thunderous applause. You feel the excitement. Smile, yes smile big. You're at the top and lovin' it. Day dream for about 10 minutes or more. The best times to pretend this way are when you wake up and just before you go to sleep. This will explode your belief.

Step 4. Work Your Plan.

Plan your work and work your plan. Decide on the actions you'll take daily to get to the top. Then take these actions. Be honest with yourself. Do you know what actions you need to take? Do you need some skills? Your actions should be in the areas of Prospecting, Presenting, and Closing. Don't forget personal development. When you plan your work and work your plan, you move in the direction of your goal. Give this your best shot every day.

Step 5. Let Go, Let Gratitude.

When you make up your mind, write it down, pretend it, work your plan, you've done your part. Really you have. Simply count your blessings and give thanks for them. Let the miracle work it self out. Don't fret or worry. Be at peace and know you're at the top. Give thanks for other areas of your life. Help others in gratitude. Let go. Let gratitude flow in your life. Even in the way you treat other people and react to situations. There's no where for you to go but the top.

These simple steps have helped a lot of people get to the top of their compensation plans. They can help you too. You must practice the steps persistently and consistently. Just make up your mind, write it down, pretend it, work your plan, and let go, let gratitude.

Cheers!

Prospecting is the life blood of your network marketing business. To Prospect means to consistently look for the right people to share your business opportunity or products and services with. The key to hold on to in prospecting is to know that you're sorting. You're looking for people who are open to looking at what you've got. You're also not out to convince anyone. I cringe when I hear new network marketers talk about convincing others to join them when they really should be sorting. Some people will be open and some will not. Once you understand and accept this simple fact, you'll begin building your business without stress.

There are many different ways of prospecting. You can choose the methods you're most comfortable with to start out so that you can develop confidence in yourself and your ability to succeed in your business. There is a never ending supply of prospects and a variety of ways to access them. Remember, your goal is to sort through them and find the ones who're open to looking at your opportunity.

Friends, Family, and Acquaintances

This is generally referred to as your warm market. Again, not everyone in your warm market will be open, but some will. There are many different opinions on using this method, but I've found that it's still the least expensive and easiest way for a lot of new people to get their network marketing business off the ground. This is because they know, like and trust you and would be open to listen just because it's you. A lot of people are already familiar with network marketing, so chances are your friends and family have heard about it. Some of them may have been involved in a network marketing company before.

Before prospecting your warm market, make a list of their names and phone numbers. This is your blue print. When you start a business, everyone you know should be aware of what you offer. If you don't talk to them, someone else will and you may end up regretting it. Write their names and numbers in a note book. No, your cell phone doesn't count. Don't prejudge anyone. Sometimes, the people you least expect will be the ones who're actually open. As you make your list, call each person and simply ask them if they're open to hearing about business opportunities. There are many variations to this question so speak with your upline. Take brief notes on each person you contact and their response. Be sure to ask for referrals from those who're not open. This way, you keep your list or blue print growing.

Situational Prospecting

This type of prospecting may be warm or cold depending on your relationship to the prospect. In this case, you're out and about and meet someone you believe is sharp. You may begin a conversation to see if they have the qualities you're looking for. If they do, then simply ask them if they're open to looking at business opportunities. If they are, give them your card or flyer and take their number as well. Do not start explaining your business opportunity to them right away. Set an appointment for a time when you can both be focused on your opportunity. You can practice situational prospecting anywhere. It could be at your job, out shopping, at your child's school or play ground, at a parade or fair, at a party, in the elevator, while getting your car serviced and just about anywhere there are people. Be sure to add the names and numbers to your list and take notes when you speak with them.

Leads and the Internet

This is a whole new world for many network marketers and it takes time and practice to become proficient. There are many companies that generate leads of opportunity seekers and sell these leads to network marketers. This method takes time and skill because you're dealing with people who don't know you. So, there's no trust initially. There are many resources online to teach you how to approach leads and you must do your home work. Leads can cost a lot of money, so tread carefully. Some lead companies offer free trial leads and free training to help you with the skills you'd need. Take advantage of these.

You can also learn to generate your own leads online using a variety of methods. Having a web presence is essential to capture the information of the prospects. For this, you use a lead capture page. Then you'll need an auto-responder system to follow up with them and determine their level of interest in looking at what you've got. You'll need to learn how to generate traffic to your lead capture page. You can do this by using online and offline methods. Every flyer, business card, newspaper ad, article, press release, email, ezine, ebook, and any other methods you use, must have your website or lead page web address. These are ways to send people to you, so that you can use the auto responder and telephone to find out if they're open to looking at your business opportunity.

There are many different ways of finding the right people for your network marketing business. They'll require persistence and consistency on your part. They may be frustrating sometimes, but they'll eventually pay off. So, pick one or several, but stay focused and committed to your goals. Stay in phase one, prospecting, no matter how big your team grows. Remember that you're sorting for the right people and although not everyone will be open, some will. With prospecting, success in your network marketing business is yours for the taking.

There are a couple of things the novice or marketer newbie can do to improve vastly their Internet marketing results. When people decide to start a Internet home business, they are usually in less than favorable financial circumstances and look to cut their investment wherever they can. This leads them to seek out and use cheap or in most cases free services to help get them going in their new business.

The problem with this is it often end up costing more money than what it saves you. The first places people will usually turn to are free e-mail accounts from the likes of Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, and others. The problem with this is they have just lumped themselves in the same category of many spammers and other less then reputable online marketers that use these accounts like revolving doors to use and throw away when they get closed down.

The other main problem with this is one loses their golden opportunity to brand themselves and make themselves and their product stand out as something different. Also many people when evaluating the validity of an offer and a marketer start with the e-mail address when it says Hotmail or one of the many other free services it says amateur and unprofessional. How can you expect others to take you seriously if your not even willing to invest a lousy $10 a year into a domain name that says who you are.

The other reason your own domain name is a good idea is it now gives you the ability to make your own website with your company name on it and your unique address that makes you stand out and brands you and your company. This also goes a long way toward making you look legitimate, professional, and serious about your business. You now have one place you can send your potential clients to that will give them more information about whom they are about to do business with.

Many of these marketers receive misinformation that you can start a Internet business for nothing, little or free and make incredible riches for doing basically nothing. This is not true it and is often an out and out lie. The Internet is no different then building a business in the physical world, it will take time, hard work, and dedication and yes capital investment.

While it is true, you can spend substantially less money in creating a Internet business do not cheap out on the things that are going to help you stand out from the rest of the crowd. If you do not give yourself the very most basic tools, to start with you are going to end up making your new business a much harder time to get started then it has to be.

So lose the free e-mail and start branding yourself with a great domain name and you will already be ahead of about 95% of newbie and novice marketers out there. Put your new domain name on everything you can from your car to your business card this will help drive some free traffic to you.

Over the weekend, my husband and I went to check out a newer timeshare in town. We already own a timeshare, but the sales person we spoke with described this place in such a positive way that we thought it would be worth investigating. And the added benefit was that we could observe their sales process, which is always a learning opportunity.

This time we were both anything but impressed. I could go on and on about the things that the different sales people did that only damaged the relationship they were trying to build. But the ultimate blow came at the end of the day.

I have only been to a few timeshare presentations. At this one, they began by grouping about 8-10 couples and taking them to a boring little room with a salesman, who delivered an hour-long talk about all the reasons you "should" be a timeshare owner.

I wrote, "should" because he truly said, "you should" this and "you should" that throughout his presentation. This is probably one of the biggest No-Nos in sales. As adults, we like to be spoken to like adults. No one prefers to be treated like a child. As soon as anyone says, "you should," he/she is using the language of a parent, not an adult. Who wants to take their time to go to a sales presentation and be told what they should be doing? Oh, but I digress.

After that "sweatbox" presentation, each couple met with another salesperson, who then tried to close just that couple on buying a timeshare. If the couple said, "No," as we did, the supposed Big Kahuna, the ultimate sales guru, was brought in to close the deal.

I have to admit, I was expecting some great salesmanship from him. But once I saw him in action, I understood why his whole sales force was anything but persuasive. His means of building rapport consisted of bashing his competition. And here is the kicker... he KNEW that we owned a timeshare with the company he was bashing! I hope you know that's just foolish.

In so many words, he told us that we were dumb to have invested with that company instead of his. I can think of better ways to build rapport with one's prospects, how about you?

On the opposite side of the spectrum is the company with which we own a timeshare. To begin with, the sales people there did not group all of us together and send us to a sweatbox. Instead, a sales person greeted each couple and then escorted that individual couple somewhere beautiful and comfortable at the resort.

The saleswoman who met with us spent her time asking us question after question about us and our family. After thirty minutes or so of a truly fun "Kaffee Klatsch," this woman really understood our challenges and our desires. Instead of telling us what we should do, she empathized that our schedule did not allow much travel time, although it seemed like we wished it did. She then suggested that we take advantage of the special offer they had going on by getting the smallest timeshare unit, until our schedule could allow for more travel time.

Hmm... which one would you buy from, if you wanted a timeshare?

When you bash your competition, you run the risk of insulting your prospects, that have potentially bought from your competition. This is definitely important in the world of direct sales and network marketing. If the prospect you are talking to has not already sold for a direct sales company or been with another network marketing company, he/she could easily have a few friends who have. You do not ever want to run the risk of bad-mouthing a company with which your prospect previously was or currently is affiliated. You also do not want to run the risk of bashing products that your prospect might actually like. Let your prospects bad-mouth, while you just listen.

In addition, if the only way you can talk about your company or your products is by bashing another's, what you actually broadcast is that you don't have many beneficial things to say about your own. Sit down and decipher the most beneficial benefits of your company and its products. Prospects find acclaim far more convincing than slander. It's good to remember the old saying, "If you sling mud, you are bound to get it on yourself."

It never benefits you to belittle or defame your competition. By doing so, you don't make yourself look better than it; you make yourself look worse.

There are some basic things just about everyone getting into network marketing or direct sales is told to do. Work your warm market. Talk about your opportunity every chance you get.

Too bad those really aren't effective for a lot of people. You're far more likely to really annoy your family and friends and get very few signups that way. With all the companies out there, all the possibilities available to any person you might talk to, it can be very hard to sell people on why they should join your opportunity.

Don't forget how hard it is to actually get people working their business when you get them signed up. I can tell you from personal experience that even when you are successful and want to help family members get going, most of those who express interest still won't go anywhere with whatever you give them. Many people just don't have the drive.

So what do you do?

You want to find people who want to do what you do. You want them to come to you.

And that means you need to stop lying to them. You want them to expect to work. No more telling prospects that the product sells itself. You know full well it doesn't. You probably even know that just talking to people about how much you love the products you sell is a form of selling, even if you insist that no selling is involved in your opportunity.

No matter what you were told by your upline, you know that success does not come easily. Success comes after hard work. If it were easy, everyone would do it and there would be no money in it.

One of the major keys is to have a good system in place to help your prospects along. Some companies make it incredibly difficult to market your opportunity online, but if you can do it the possibilities are just about endless. All you need is something to offer people who are interested in your business and a genuine desire to help them out.

The wonderful thing about this is that once you have a system in place, you can attract solid prospects to you, rather than buying leads and wasting money. If people see you as a valuable resource, one willing to help them succeed, they will come to you and their success will fuel your own.

Honesty really is the best policy, especially in business. If you can attract people to your business by telling them what they really need to know in order to succeed you will gain their respect and trust. With that you have a better chance at building a business relationship that will benefit the both of you.

There has been a new hope for individuals and families alike spreading throughout the United States and the world. A hope that they can work a satisfying and rewarding job from their home. A chance to own a business emerges to the forefront and has created a craze we call Multi-Level Marketing. Multi-Level Network Marketing offers the opportunity for those individuals with little or no resources the opportunity to own their own business, be their own boss, and most importantly, gives them control of their own destiny.

Multi-Level Marketing truly is a business where the more self-motivated a person is and the more time the person spends obtaining their goals the more the pay off is. MLM Marketing holds the promise of good part-time income to becoming substantially wealthy, if -not a millionaire. There are over a half of a million people in the United States that are millionaires, 20% of them made their fortunes with Multi-Level Marketing businesses. What is Multi-Level Marketing and how does it work? Multi-Level marketing is a simple concept that has had its share of good and bad publicity. Many reputable companies have made many individuals affiliated with their companies a good, solid turnaround on their investments, while a few companies in the past have taken the consumer for a ride.

MLM Network marketing had an uphill battle in establishing a good reputation. However, in recent years, MLM marketing has done just that. Many companies have proven time and time again that they're here to stay. They have delivered quality products to their consumers and have kept their promises to their employees. How does it work? Most network marketing companies have a product to sell. When you buy your business you usually have two options with MLM, you can just sell the product, make a basic commission and work solely with customer delivery and satisfaction. Or you could sell a product and offer the chance for an established customer, friend, or anyone that's interested to become an own business owner as you are. This is called recruitment.

When your recruit goes out and sells and recruits, then you make commissions on not only the products you sell, then the sales of your recruits and their recruits. This system is usually done in pyramid format with you being the top of the pyramid and all your recruits and your recruit's recruits falling beneath you. The sales trickle down the pyramid and the commissions go up. Make sense? Most MLM companies will present you with a chart that explains the setup of how their recruitment system works as well as percentages you will be paid on commission. If you're interested in a MLM Network marketing plan, it's best to speak with someone that has been affiliated with the company for some time and has actually received money. This can help you avoid a scam usually but not always. Another thing you might try is contacting the Better Business Bureau and ask about reports. Whatever you decide, there's probably a MLM Network marketing company right for you.

Are leaders born or made? The old adage states that leaders are in fact born. I disagree with that partially. Anyone can learn to become a leader, and be a successful one at that. That is the key, learning. Leadership is a process, one that requires learning and understanding.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between the leaders in network marketing and the people that struggle everyday? They have an understanding, that in order to be successful you must take what each day gives you and learn from it and grow. Being a successful leader simply requires that you never stop learning. I have always believed that the day you stop learning is really the day you stop living. In business, they day you stop learning is the day that your business stops growing.

Business Leadership

First you must understand the difference between management and leadership. Management controls and directs people and resources using already established guidelines. Whereas leadership is when you set new directions and create a new vision for group. This difference is where people get lost. Look at your business, are you giving the people under you the same information that you were given to start your business or are you the one looking for ways to improve the business, not only for yourself but those people under you. A successful business leader is someone who is constantly looking for ways to improve and grow and teach his followers the same.

The process of learning for business leadership means that you spend the time to become familiar with the different theories of leadership. Practice your skills daily in all areas of your life. Family, friends, your co-workers, the neighbor next door, the clerk at the grocery store will see by your actions the type of leader that you are by the way you interact with them. How you live your life, the organization and attention to responsibilities that you have. Being a successful leader of your self proves that you can be a successful business leader.

Learning is so important

Survey after survey shows that overall that at least 92% find learning to be a confidence builder and enjoyable. Learning something new and mastering that gives you a sense of accomplishment and purpose. In the last century we have progressed from the Industrial Age through the Information Age to now the Knowledge Age. It will be vital to be able to obtain, assimilate and apply knowledge, the right knowledge effectively over the next hundred years. Success of a person will no longer be based solely on what they have done but also by what they will be able to do. How willing that person will be to learn and adapt in the future.

Learning is the key to achieving our fullest potential. It has the power to transform us, allowing us to become more successful at home, at work and within our community. Learning helps us find new solutions to our problems and change not only our own attitude but those of the people around us.

Ways to Learn

It is scientifically proven that people learn in different ways. Understanding how you learn is the key to making learning fun. There are people that learn best by reading. If you are one of those people then read books on leadership, philosophy, psychology and famous leaders. Learning to understand people and yourself are important in becoming a successful leader. Some people learn by listening, so use technology to help you. There are books on CD and audio, you can even download them on to an iPod or MP3 player. Some people learn by doing, so they get the idea and then they try it, practice it and perfect it. Maybe you are one of those people that learn better by combining the different techniques. There isn't any one right way to learn, and the only people that can't learn are those that don't want to.

Lead Through Learning

People have to believe that they can achieve something that seems beyond their reach. So offering an encouraging and supportive environment helps to increase their willingness to try. It is a wonderful thing to be a leader that is constantly evolving and finding new ways to improve, but you also need to offer those opportunities to the people that you are leading.

Repetition is also important to leading through learning. The chances of a person retaining a concept that has been introduced to them dramatically increases the more that they are exposed to it. So don't just show them on Monday and figure that they will be able to use it the following Monday. Less then 2% of people will be able to remember and use the concept. People need to be exposed to a concept 6 times in the course of a week. They then will retain that for 15 years. How can I prove this, look at TV commercials - who doesn't remember the little gray haired lady yelling "Where's the beef?!" Repetition, repetition, repetition is the key to success.

To be a successful leader, you must be a lifelong learner. Leadership does not only apply to our professional lives, but our personal life as well. From the way we handle a situation at work to the way we interact with the everyday people in our life. Being a leader is not something that you do, it is something that you are.

This cyclic arrangement is what drives companies and the merchandise they sell on the internet.

Multilevel or network marketing is one of the most profitable ways to make money online. If you have an established multilevel marketing business you understand the need to make sure the people you pick to help you with your business and work for you should be hard working, willing to put forth a good effort, and understand that they will profit from their business endeavor. When looking reviewing membership to your multilevel marketing program you may want to consider the following points in your selection process. Multilevel marketing works in the following way. You begin a marketing company and then train several people to become part of the marketing company. You hand over a piece of your company to these new individuals. As they are making a profit you get a small bit of what they are making. They then train other people and once again you make a little bit of profit from both levels of marketing. This continues for all levels and profits is made on each level from the people below them. Multilevel marketing is a great way to build a team working environment.

Anyone who is interested in working your multilevel marketing program has to have hope that they will succeed. If they do not have hope it is your job to give them home and encourage them to succeed. Remind them that they want a better life for themselves and their family. Assert that everyone must sacrifice to get what they want out of life.

The term network marketing is generally used in two ways. It is used as a synonym for multi-level marketing and is often mistaken for a pyramid scheme. In a typical MLM business, you will connect yourself with a parent company as an independent contractor. You will be compensated based on your sales of the products, as well as the sales that those in your downline have achieved. In this type of business, your commission will only be earned when you or your downline sell the company's products. You cannot earn money from recruiting alone. Sometimes it can be difficult to determine which network marketing business is legitimate and which is merely a scam. New MLM businesses may use terms like affiliate marketing or home-based business franchising.

When you think of network or relationship marketing, you probably think of having to go door to door, organizing open house parties and presentations, and hitting up your friends and family, as well as anyone you come into contact with. Sure, you could do these things; however, most people do not see doing this as a particularly reasonable way to do business. There is another way. How would you like it if people approached you to join your business? Would it not be great if you did not have to conduct face to face meetings at all? The way to avoid having to do all of that is to run your network marketing business by using the internet.

Some people do not think that you can run a successful networking business solely online, but the truth is that you can. Creating a website and sitting back waiting for the cash to roll in is not the way to run a successful network marketing business online. You will still have to work just as hard in a network or MLM business online as you would at managing an offline network marketing business. Also, running the business solely online just means that you will be getting your lead generation and pre-qualification work done. It does not mean that you will never have to make connections in the real world or speak to a person face to face.

One thing you need to know about running a marketing business is that it is simply a numbers game. This is what make it the perfect business to be run online. Anyone who runs a website will tell you that their focus is the traffic that they generate. You will want to get as many people to your website as you can. Statistics show that 2% to 4% of visitors will click on a link that can garner revenue for you. Of those, 1% of them will purchase something after clicking on your link. This is why high traffic is so important to your business.

Network marketing is a fairly simple business when you get down to the bare bones of it. It is all about generating good leads, qualifying those leads, and then following up on them until the lead takes the action that you want them to or they tell you to stop contacting them.

Network marketing with software is a relatively inexpensive way to begin your own affiliate program. To get started, all you have to do is purchase some affiliate software or you can go with a third party network marketing service that can run the program for you. However, if you decide to go with a third party, be away that they can charge you thousands of dollars in order to set up the service and to maintain it. If you are on a tight budget like most people, your best bet will be to buy the software and run the program yourself.

Affiliate programs have reshaped how business on the internet is done. You can create a virtual sales force through affiliate sales channels. This will allow you to market your product without having to pay anything up front. The only time you have to pay is if your affiliates get you results by sending you referrals, leads, or getting you sales. You can take the money that you save from not paying up front and reinvest it in your business or your marketing strategy.

There are a few different ways that you can pay your affiliates for sending you new clients, leads, or garnering you a sale. You can either pay them by pay per lead, pay per click, pay per email, pay per sale, pay per impression, or pay per download. You can pay them either with a commission-based percentage or a flat fee that is based on each transaction. It is totally up to you how you reward your affiliates for working for you.

Do you know how affiliate software works? After you get an affiliate to join your program, he or she will get an affiliate ID that the affiliate software will be able to recognize him or her by. Any banners that he or she put up on their website will also be identified using the same affiliate ID. When a visitor clicks on their banner or link, they will reach the affiliate merchant website from the affiliate's website. Then a cookie will be placed on his or her computer by the affiliate software program. The length of time that this cookie will last can vary. When the visitor purchases something from the merchant's website, the affiliate software will record the sale in a datable and link it to the specific affiliate ID. Each time that visitor makes a purchase, the affiliate will garner a commission on it until the cookie on their computer expires. The affiliate will then be notified by email about the sale.

You will want to use an affiliate software program if you are an affiliate merchant. You can buy and install this software on your server; however, you will need to perform your own upgrades at your own expense. If you go with a third party, they will supply the software for you and perform any upgrades and maintenance themselves.

Anyone with a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) business is always looking to expand it and make it grow, and if you have one of them or are involved in an MLM program, you probably are too. Now, more and more people are using the Internet to get people to join, as it provides you with a number of different opportunities to promote your business and help it grow. However, one of the increasingly popular methods used by MLM businesses and programs is to use guaranteed sign ups, as they are proving more effective at growing your downline than other forms of Internet advertising and recruitment.

Guaranteed sign ups provide MLM businesses with information from individuals who have shown an interest in joining your program. These sign ups have occurred through individuals manually entering their information and details to show they are interested in your business. Now it's up to you to sell them on your MLM program and why they should join your downline.

If you are utilizing other methods of advertising and recruiting for your MLM business or program, you should consider switching to using guaranteed sign ups, as they are going to provide you with more solid leads, which will require you to spend less time converting these prospective leads into individuals joining your program. Guaranteed sign ups are the most effective method of securing leads for your business.

Many times individuals with MLM programs spent countless hours advertising their program in various places on the Internet and sending emails to cold contacts, which are often generated from a marketing firms list and are not interested in your program at all. Many also waste money by purchasing traffic and advertising in hopes this will eventually result in people joining their program. However, all of this is a waste of your time, money and energy, as guaranteed sign ups can do the job for you much better in a shorter time period for a much cheaper cost.

Guaranteed sign ups will provide you with people who are interested in learning more about your program and how they can benefit from joining it. They have become a solid lead as they have taken the initiative to show their interest, and now it is up to you to convert this lead into joining the program. They are much more likely to join than individuals you are cold contacting or who are seeing an ad on a website for your program.

As you can see one of the best ways to increase the downline of your MLM program is through guaranteed sign ups. These provide you with credible, solid leads of individuals who have manually shown an interest in learning more about your program and maybe even join it. However, once you have their information it's up to you to sell them on joining and convert them into part of your downline.

Network marketing software is also called affiliate programs, referral programs, and associate programs. It is fairly inexpensive to begin your own affiliate program. All you need to do is purchase affiliate software or you can choose a service that will run your program for you. If you do choose someone to run the affiliate program for you, keep in mind that it can cost you thousands of dollars to have it set up and to maintain it through them. If you have a budget and want to keep your profits, then it is best to do it yourself and buy the software.

Affiliate programs have changed how business on the internet is conducted. Merchants are able to create a virtual sales force by using affiliate sales channels. This enables them to market their product without having to pay anything up front. They only pay if they get results from their affiliates. This way the merchant can turn the wasted advertising dollars into more products.

Since the merchant only pay their affiliates when they produce results when they use an affiliate software program, then they do not have to pay any up front fees. You will only pay your affiliates when they send you a sale or a new lead. You can either pay them by pay per lead, pay per click, pay per sale, pay per email, pay per impression, or pay per download. You will want to pay them a commission-based percentage or a flat fee based per transaction. It is up to you how you reward your affiliates.

How does affiliate software work? After an affiliate joins your program, he or she will receive an affiliate ID that the affiliate software will recognize him by. The banners and such that he or she puts up on their web pages will also be identified by this same affiliate ID. Whenever a visitor clicks on their banner or link and reaches the affiliate merchant website from the affiliate's website, a cookie will be placed on his or her computer by the affiliate software. How long this cookie will last can vary. Once the visitor makes a purchase from the merchant's website, the affiliate software will record the sale in its database and associate it with the specific affiliate ID. Every time that visitor makes a purchase the affiliate will get a commission on it until the cookie expires. Lastly, the affiliate is notified by email of the sale.

If you are an affiliate merchant, then you need to be using an affiliate software program. You can buy and install this tracking software in your server. You will have to upgrade this software on your own and under your own expenses. If you do decide to go with an affiliate network service, then they supply the affiliate software for you. They also will update the software whenever it needs it, thus eliminating the cost to you.

A network marketing affiliate program is a very popular means of promoting a web business where the affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber, or customer that they provide through his or her efforts. It is the modern version of paying someone a finder's fee for bringing in new clients and customers. Sometimes the compensation is based on a certain amount for each visit, known as pay per click, registrant, known as pay per lead, or a commission for each customer or sale, known as pay per sale, or a combination of those.

One of the most attractive parts of getting involved in an affiliate program, is that there is no payment due to an affiliate until you get results. You can run your own affiliate program or have a third party run it for you; however, if you choose to do the latter, be prepared to spend thousands of dollars in set up fees and maintenance fees. There are many businesses that owe their growth and success to a an affiliate program. Generally, though, the increase in sales is around 15% to 20 % of online revenue.

There are some advertisers that offer what is known as multi-tier affiliate programs. These types of network marketing affiliate programs distribute commission into a hierarchical referral network of sign-ups and sub-affiliates. Snowballing is a type of system that rewards a chain of hierarchical publishers; however, most network marketing affiliate programs are simple single tier programs.

If you are a merchant and are thinking about adding a network marketing based affiliate program to your promoting strategy, then you should research the many different solutions available to you, such as standalone software, hosted services, shopping carts with affiliate features, and third party affiliate networks.

Since network marketing affiliate programs are so convenient and work so well, they have fast become the industry's main means of online marketing. There are currently four methods for affiliates to earn commissions through affiliate marketing. Here are a couple of ways for the affiliate to earn a commission. The first is pay per impression. This means that the merchant website will pay the affiliate a certain amount of money for every 1000 impressions. An impression is a page view or display of the ad. The ad can be a text ad, a banner image, or rich media. The next is pay per click. This is where the merchant will pay the affiliate a certain amount of money every time a visitor clicks on the advertiser's ad. Many affiliate programs have almost moved to using only pay per lead or pay per sale models. These are also known as performance marketing and the commission that is paid is generally a percentage of the referred sales or a fixed dollar amount.

Network Marketing Leads, something that's essential for you to build and maintain a successful, profitable business. What is a lead? A Network Marketing Lead is a list of potential customers or potential recruits. How important is it for you to have a lead? It is vital for your business and the growth of your business for you to have leads. No leads. No sales. No recruits. Are you seeing a pattern here?
If you are approaching a network marketing plan with no strategy or no lead you are in the middle of an ocean in a boat with not paddle. Nice image? Not really. Now imagine the sharks that are surrounding you. Those are the other representatives that are using smart business practices and generating lists of marketing leads and going with it. They are in the business to be successful and the truth is, they are probably contacting or have already contacted a lead that you knew simply because you have not taken the time to plan an attack or generate a list of leads.

Seem a little harsh? Well, sometimes business is harsh. And the sharks surrounding you aren't always vicious. They are people with the same dream you have. They want to experience successful network marketing business and hopefully make a lot of money. The difference is they are following those leads and you are in your boat in the ocean without a paddle. Don't worry, however, the sharks won't circle you long if they realize you have no plan, they'll circle and eat everything around you and then move on to a more plentiful section of the ocean. Are you getting my drift? So it's important to plan and follow those leads.

Now that I have your attention how do you generate a network marketing lead? Good question. The first step is to sit down and brainstorm with a friend or spouse. Think of everyone you know well and even by association. Make a list, write their names down and where you can contact them at and even when. Leave a space for you to jot down results of the contact that way you will have data for later use and a list on their answer. You might think you can remember everyone's answer off hand and if you can, your list is too short, add more people! Remember the sharks.

If they are interesting in listening to your sales pitch ask them to bring at least 2 other people to listen to it as well. See how the word is spreading fast? If they aren't interested, ask them to make a referral or the name of someone who they think might be interested. After you have hit this territory, many companies buy leads from marketing companies. You might want to go this route depending on the company you are with and their policies.

Are you interested in changing careers? Have you wondered how you could afford to be a full time stay at home parent? Do you want to set your own hours, career goals, and salary? MLM, or multi level marketing, just might be the ideal path for you. With MLM, you determine how much you work, what hours you devote to your MLM business opportunity, and best of all, how much money you will bring home!

But what exactly is MLM and how does it work? Multi Level Marketing means that companies choose to sell products by using independent distributors rather than stocking their products in storefronts. They also allow these independent distributors to build and manage their own sales force to increase their earnings. Independent distributors do this by recruiting, motivating, supplying, and training others to sell the company's products. The distributors' compensation comes from a percentage of their product sales. This percentage is sometimes fixed but more often is dependent on their total sales, with higher earnings percentages resulting from higher sales. Distributors who recruit and train other salespeople will also earn a percentage of the sales of their sales group. The independent representatives that each distributor signs up are often referred to as their 'downline'.

MLM opportunities come in a wide array of varieties and specialties. No matter what your personal interests are, you can be almost positive that you will find a MLM opportunity that interests you and about which you can be enthusiastic and excited. And when you are excited and knowledgeable about your MLM product, your customers will be excited, too! This is how your MLM opportunity can earn the most rewards for you- sharing the product with customers, and sharing the opportunity for growth with interested individuals so they can also start their own MLM journey.

Several of the most well known MLM opportunities involve makeup and personal care sales. These are often a great way to get started with multi level marketing, because the companies are well established and well known to many people. Starting with a well known company like these is a great way to learn how to manage your MLM business before you move to selling things that might require more sales work on your part to convince customers to buy from you. Also, since some of these makeup and personal care companies have very low start up fees, you can get started right away with your new MLM opportunity.

Multi Level Marketing is not for everyone. It requires you to be organized, enthusiastic, and outgoing. However, if you are willing to put in the time and effort to make your MLM opportunity a success, you will be rewarded with the career of your dreams.

It is easy to become overwhelmed by the prospect of failure, and during trying times resources seem scarce and the task of turning things around can appear daunting. But there are still key points and important things to keep in mind.

Knowing the customer base is essential. Customers are the life blood of any company. Often times, marketing strategies may not be the direct cause of home business failure. There is a likelihood that a home business is failing because the good or service being offered doesnt have the sufficient customer base to become successful. Those beginning a home business find it alluring to start up a venture that is based upon a hobby, but this is not always the key to marketing success. Research is needed to make sure a product, service, or idea will sell. If a business finds that it simply lacks an effective customer base for a specific product, it is necessary for the business to change its product completely. No amount of marketing strategy will allow for a product to sell or for that business to do well if there is a nonessential demand for it.

Switching an advertising approach can bring about great change in business. It is a good idea to diversify methods of advertising, and a business should never put all of its advertising eggs in one basket. Advertising is expensive, but necessary. When considering an outlet for advertising, a small business must research the newspaper, website, or circulation to understand the customer potential to be had in a particular audience. For example, a business has the potential to turn things around by switching their ad from appearing in a free weekly newspaper to a daily subscription based circulation.

Allow for customer feed back. Struggling home business owners should listen closely to all of the positive and negative things customers have to say about all aspects of their particular product or service. In doing so, the business owner should keep track of how often certain concepts, themes, or ideas are repeated, good or bad. In order to save any business, its management must focus on maintaining its strengths, repairing or eliminating problems, and breaking new ground in the road ahead.

Incentives can generate greater earnings and increase customer traffic. There are many different ways to offer incentives to new and existing customers. It is certainly difficult for any business owner to part with earning potential when things are rough. An incentive is essentially a direct investment in the customer, and is an investment that doesnt directly require the giving-up of funds or capital. But a struggling business owner shouldnt create incentives that can further damage their business and a thorough analysis of an incentives business impact should be made before hand. Some great examples of incentives include, but are not limited to, frequent purchase rewards, special offers for first time buyers, and customer referral programs.

Saving a home business is not easy. Entrepreneurs should remain positive and focused. There are may creative ways to readjust failed or failing marketing strategies with the understanding that customers are at the core of a businesses success

Network marketing, also called multi level marketing, is not for everyone. It can be very fruitful for those who are lucky enough to find a legitimate firm, and for those who have the gift of gab. Shy folks, or those whose circle of friends and family is small, or those unwilling to sell to their inner circle, might not be happy as a network marketer.

Network marketing begins with the help of folks you know. Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Longaberger Baskets, Tupperware and Discovery Toys are all examples of multi-level marketing firms. New distributors of each start their sales campaign with friends and family and a close circle of co-workers and whomever else they know personally and to whom they can solicit sales of their product.

The reason network marketing has gotten a bad name in the past is that there were fraudulent pyramid schemes that provided a sumptuous living for those who started the scheme with little money left over for additional distributors.

With a legitimate network marketing firm, however, this home based business can be rewarding both financially and personally. Most MLM firms are businesses that offer distributors repeat customers, as they sell products that consumers use over and over again throughout their lifetime.

Many people who start out as distributors with legitimate network marketing firms fail because they don't realize how much of the business is outside sales, and because they aren't committed and self-motivated enough to put in the long hours it takes up front to get the business going.

To be successful in network marketing you need great training and ongoing support. You need products or services that the average person needs and wants and will use time and time again. These products should be consumable and have their own unique offering.

To be successful in network marketing you also need a mentor, someone experienced in the product and industry who will give you tips when you first start out and guide you along the way. This person should be there to encourage you when the road gets bumpy too.

The most important part of your success in multi-level marketing is the training. Sales skills including good closing skills are essential. Many people can get their foot in the door, create the relationship with the consumer that sets up the trust, but cannot ask for the sale. They just can't close - especially with personal acquaintances. This is where training comes in. Listen to others who have been there and succeeded. Read books, attend seminars, sign up for courses, practice on your friends. Learn how to close that sale. It's the most important sales tactic you'll ever learn.

Before you decide on a particular network marketing firm and product, find out about their training. Determine if they'll teach you how to sell their product, and if there is additional training later as you find particular stumbling blocks or new products are introduced. The answer to these questions should be an important factor in the decision you make on what firm to join

Many people who get tired of jobs think of entering some kind of home business. The temptation of being your own boss and making more money than what they get from the job can surely tilt the scales in favor of having a home business of their own. Establishing a home business is not as easy as one would believe. You will need to develop a whole set of new attitudes to ensure home business success.

Here are some tips that will help ensure success in your home business.

The very first thing that you should fling out of the window is your "employee attitude". When you are working for someone else, your responsibility is limited to the job that you perform. You are not required to look beyond that since it is not your territory. But, a home business demands a complete shift in attitude. Being the boss, you are responsible for all that is happening. The entire responsibility of running the business now lies on your shoulders. The way you handle your home business will determine its success.

You will need to get out of that 9 to 5 working-hour mold, since your business will demand more of your time. Initially, you may have to put in a lot of effort to set-up business. You may not be able to fix any time limits to your work, while working at a frantic pace. However, once you are settled, you can expect sanity to prevail. Business demands its pound of flesh, and you should be ready to make those sacrifices to ensure home business success.

You should also learn to take critical decisions, which can have a lasting impact on your business and those associated with it. Your decision is critical because it is final and binding. You will not have anyone overriding your decision, as was in the case of your job. The whole scenario may appear overwhelming, but you will get used to handling this part of the business with time.

If you believe in playing safe, then business is not your cup of tea. You will have to inculcate a sense of risk-taking. No one is expected to risk his or her everything, but business involves a certain degree of risk at all times. You should be prepared for that and get out of the cocooned existence you had been living so far.

You will also have to do away with the run-of-the-mill thinking. Out-of-the-box thinkers are likely to have a better rate of success in business. You need to be creative in your thinking, and be ready to take risks when it matters. If you study the lives of successful entrepreneurs, you will find that their approach to business was different and novel in many ways. They were always a few steps ahead of the competition.

To take a leaf from the book of successful entrepreneurs, it is important to realize that knowledge pays. You need to know as much as you can about your business and the market conditions where you operate. Knowledge will keep you ahead of the competition and spell success for you.

Most home based businesses fail because people love the flexi-time concept. They attach little importance to time schedules and get carried away by doing whatever, whenever. This is a great recipe for business disaster. Business, home based or otherwise, requires strict discipline. You will have to form a timetable and strictly adhere to it. Time is of great essence and your home business could do with better time-management. Proper time utility, coupled with timely decisions is the key to your home business success.

These tips can surely help you achieve home business success, since you have a lot at stake to prove your abilities to make it big in business.

Opt-in emailing may be one of the best ways to acquire that all important MLM lead. There are a number of companies that offer excellent MLM lead resources at reasonable prices. Many of these MLM lead vendors offer a sample look at their leads or even a trial listing to see if this opt-in method will work for the firm.

A good MLM lead list provider will be able to provide a firm with a list whose contacts are accurate and fresh. The advantage of an MLM lead that comes through opt-in emailing is that it is almost sure to be a person who has a strong interest in the particular field or industry.

A reputable MLM lead firm will offer a number of ways to qualify and specify particular MLM lead lists. One online vendor, for example, can break down the MLM lead list by age and geographic location. They can provide a listing of names whose interest was express either in the last 30 days, 60 days or as far out as 90 days - whichever you choose. You can as well indicate the income range for the MLM leads you want.

You can market the opt-in email MLM lead by e-mail, fax, telephone, direct mail, broadcast or a combination of any of these media. The list will include the prospect's name, address, telephone and e-mail address.

This particular MLM lead vendor guarantees that the opt-in list you receive will be exclusively yours for 90 days. You can therefore feel confident that the MLM lead you approach will not have been inundated by similar offers. What an advantage that your prospect has yet to be contacted by your competitor. Timing, as they say, is everything.

Another assurance from this vendor is that not only is the list opt-in, but it is double opt-in. What this means is that every lead that receives your MLM messages has not only asked for your information but has also responded to an email from the vendor reconfirming the request to receive further e-mail messages.

One thing that's very important to keep in mind, however, is that you can have the most wonderful MLM lead list in the world but if you don't follow the other steps to MLM marketing success your business campaign will fail. Besides getting your message to the right people you must send the right message. Your subject line must be enticing, and you must have an urgent call to action. People are always intrigued by the offer of something free, something easy, something fun, and something that will make them lots of money.

Getting them to take action right now is another tactic that must appear in your marketing message. Limited offers that are nearly irresistible are the best calls to action. "Half Off this Weekend Only." "Call Today - Limited Supply Might be Gone Tomorrow." These are examples of strong calls to action that can help get your prospects moving - on the Web or on the phone asking to buy your product or service. Or sell it themselves as a distributor.

As with any business, you have to work to make money in MLM. Most people believe having an MLM residual income business means you will not have to work at it.

Part of the fault lies with the promoters who constantly say, no selling of the opportunity or product is required. Discouraged sign ups into opportunities have quickly dropped out for this reason for decades now.

Some things you should know about MLM, which everyone who gets into it should know, are below so you do not get discouraged with misconceptions.

MLM was popular for decades because the income model residual program that typically made it up is designed to earn a worker steady monthly income for years from a one time sale. This means that when someone makes a sale to a customer one time and that customer buys renewals of that sale monthly, on a long time basis, that they are earning a perpetual income.

The way most MLM pay out plans was set was so that someone, who was very lucky, could make a good monthly income from the work of others even if they did nothing. Pay out like this seldom happened resulting in lazy, do nothing, members dropping out in droves when they found out that they were not getting something for nothing.

Many people did join this business opportunity looking for the lucky break piece of cake where they had nothing to do but collect easy monthly checks. Many companies started up making this promise and many failed just as fast. This seriously damaged the general image of network marketing companies.

The ideal concept of this business system is that each team member is helping the company sell their products. Steadily adding new members to further build the team is another way for each member to build their business.

The companies usually said that it is not a necessity, but an option to recruit members to help build the business. A few marketers are capable of doing this.

Some member workers can only sell items and make a big income. This takes someone who is creative and a good speaker and sales man or woman. The other alternative is to buy some product by yourself every month and just advertise for workers to work the business with you.

A good team, built slowly and deliberately can help you to make a good residual income. Some of us can do this. Most of us cannot do this.

Selling products that are bought every month by your same customers builds a cash flow for you. The more team sellers you have the better. Some marketers refuse to let weak people, who have no intention of working the business, join in their groups.

This is an excellent strategy in this or any business. As long as everyone is making an effort to sell products everyone is more likely to make money from this business.

Multi level marketing is a high risk business opportunity. With this or any business there are very good and very bad points. If network marketing is a good business that you are suited to and you feel the inclination to work with it, learn the business, and build the opportunity then it will be a good choice for you.

The obstructions can be over come. If you have the skills to do it you can still succeed at it. Usually the stars of this business have no idea that they can be good at it, in the beginning.

Taking applications through your advertising is a good way to build this business. Interview each interested party. Tell them what it is all about and sort out the good workers from the bad ones.

This way your drop outs will fall dramatically with a full team of workers who are determined to succeed. They will feed off your serious attitude and that of the others in your group.

As this is a business, if you always run it like a business, you will likely do well at it. You want to be part of a company with experienced, extremely honest management. You want unique products and, if possible, a unique marketing system that is easily duplicated within the company and extremely difficult to duplicate outside of the company to limit marketing competition.

MLM is a way to build a good business and income, like any other business but it does take time to build. Expect little or no results in the first full year. Learn the business and understand, like and use the products so you can share them with others to sell them when you are ready. Some people make their living solely from building MLM residual income.

As with any other business that is a good personality and skill fit for you it is possible to make a lot of money. It does take lots of smart ideas and knowledge and a unique marketing niche product and ideas to make it.

For the large majority of people this is not the business to get into because they will not be able to handle the requirements of massive time and work skills to do it. The only way to find out if it is for you is to give it a try on a low budget basis. If your skills are right for this business it can be great for you.

As the end of the first quarter draws near, it's time to review your e-mail efforts to determine if you're still on the road to success. Though sales and response rates are key indicators to how well your program is performing, there are 12 critical areas where you can rate your program's effectiveness to forecast how well you can expect the rest of the year to go.

The questions were initially proposed by Andy Goldman, an associate director of my company's e-mail practice. "These questions represent categories that are core areas for analysis with our clients' e-mail marketing programs," said Goldman. "They reflect the entire customer journey with e-mail, and they lead to a consideration of areas for growth and optimization."

Will your e-mail efforts succeed in 2006? Find out by answering these questions for your organization's programs, then answer them for your top two competitors. Comparing results will offer some clear direction of how the rest of 2006 should be managed.

The E-Mail Marketing Success Forecast

* Opt-in environment:

o How simple is it to access your opt-in environment? Is your subscription link buried on your Web site?

o How well does the opt-in process explain all the communication types available and establish relevance?

o Does your opt-in process decrease attrition by providing examples of the content people will receive if they sign up?

o Is there a place where potential subscribers can see samples or access live versions of prior e-mail content (old newsletter versions, etc.)?

o Is the registration process labor intensive? (If e-mail isn't one of the first four requested fields, you run the risk of losing up to 50 percent of interested parties.)

* Creative and content:

o Does your subject line advise the e-mail's purpose and the offer?

o Is the copy format readable under all e-mail circumstance? Does it render well on a mobile device or BlackBerry? Are the text versions actually designed?

o Is the message visually optimized? For example, are images strategically placed to move the eye toward the call to action?

o Does the e-mail's layout support the brand? Does it carry a consistent brand message through the entire user flow?

* List and usage:

o Do you have an established cadence that's clearly communicated to the readers (e.g., a monthly newsletter or seasonal update)?

o Do you have a third-party list rental strategy? For example, are you renting lists your competitors just used? Do your offers under-perform compared to your competitors'?

o Do your programs have triggers built into them? Meaning, when someone opts in, does she receive a welcome e-mail? When she downloads a white paper, does she get a follow-up e-mail to verify receipt and take advantage of a cross- or up-sell opportunity?

Setting out on your own to build a network marketing business initially appears to be a daunting task, and it can be, but it is also a most satisfying accomplishment. Most large network marketing businesses take several years or more to build, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

I have heard of people making ninety thousand dollars a month after their first year. Although there have been numerous books about Network marketing from such names as George Faiva, Tim Sales, Zig Ziglar and a host of others, you will find if you research the subject in depth that very few Network marketing downlines were built in exactly the same fashion.

There are so many ways to build a downline (also known as an 'organization', 'sales force' or 'community') that this type of business definately favors the creative mind. Perhaps the toughest aspect of network marketing or multi-level marketing (mlm) is the patience it requires to succeed.

Unfortunately, a large percentage of people who join mlm drop out or are mostly inactive, which is of course very frustrating. Nonetheless, most individuals who stay with the business and work it coinsistently are handsomely rewarded in the end. A major positive aspect of network marketing is the the modest level of investment.

Many multi-level marketing organizations can be launched for as little as $1000 and under. Compare this to a franchise, most of which require at least $100,000 to start (and in many cases much more) and which are not immune to employee and other problems normally associated with brick and mortar and food service businesses. The payout is not immediete on these types of business systems either.

In Network marketing, however, you deal have to sometimes deal with a negative stigma in some people's minds regarding the industry. Cliche's such as "is this a pyramid scheme?" or "is this a Ponzi scheme" are occasionally uttered by some prospects. In addition, friends and family are often not supportive in the beginning because of the high dropout rate or other factors.

It appears that the 'old school' or Wave 2 network marketing methods had something to do with this attitude. In that way of thinking, you were often expected to buy large quantities of product and store it in your garage or basement, drag neighbors to mlm meetings and so on.

Those days are generally over, but their memory persists for some people. These days, most products are drop shipped directly by the company and training and recruiting are generally done via conference call. Network marketing has come a long way, and attitudes are changing ever so slowly.

What is called 'Wave4' Network marketing has come into view, and it is characterized by conference calls for training, more sophisticated lead generation techniques, drop shipping and more use of the internet. It is estimated by some including Robert Kiyosaki that since we are now in the information age, network marketing will become more and more popular. In the industrial age, there was more job security; people could often expect to work the same job all of their life and the company would take care of their retirement.

But the information age, which we have been in since around 1992 or so, characterized by more frequent job changes, which will result in less job security, and especially fewer retirement benefits. This will influence more people to give network marketing a chance, the arguement goes; Time will tell.

There are other compelling reasons to believe this industry will grow considerably. Modern technology, and especially the PC, has allowed people to enter this business who never could have in the past. The industry has changed considerably and has been embraced by big corporate players such as At&T.

There is the misconception among some people that a network marketing company is similiar to a ponzi scheme or a pyramid scheme. But this is not at all the case. Many sincere men and women are building legitimate businesses with this proven system. In fact, when Donald Trump was asked years ago in New York by David Letterman what he would do if he happened to lose all of his wealth and had to start over again, he replied that he would find a good network marketing company and would get to work. In my opinion Network Marketing will get bigger and gain more recognition and credibility in the near future.

------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

Building a massive network is what the business
of Network Marketing is all about. The money is
in your down line. This is where you want the majority
of your money to be coming from because you do not
have to do much for it. All you had to do was
develop leaders. However, the only way you will
find these leaders is by talking to A LOT of
people, and I do mean A LOT because they do not
come around too often. They are a rare bread.
I am not saying that when you do find them they
are going to be leaders out the gate, because,
most likely, they are not; that is why you are there.

You are there to guide them and get them to their
full potential. Show them the ropes, and show them
what they need to do, to be as successful as you.
Take them out prospecting with you, tell them to
come to the weekly briefings to see your teams
presentations, show them how to present the system
your team has set up, give them the personal
development products they need to grow as a person
and as a leader, and find their WHY.

The WHY is critical, not only for your prospects, but
for yourself as well, because every time that they
are feeling lazy and unmotivated you can bring
up their WHY to increase the chances of getting
them back in action.

When talking to your prospects and recruits it is
also important that you avoid talking about your
own personal gains. They can care less about how
your doing, they want to get the ball rolling for
themselves, so show them how they can do that.
Help make them some money. Develop Rapport with
them and have genuine interest in them and their
own personal goals, this way they feel comfortable
with you and as a result, you get in contact with
their referrals. It becomes a win-win situation
for both of you.

Furthermore, when developing your down line it is
important that you focus on quality, rather than
quantity. This is the problem that many people
have; they have the quantity, but they do not have
the quality because they were to busy focusing on
recruiting rather than developing the leaders that
they really needed to grow their business. A lot of
people will have a lot of people in their down line;
however, become confused by the lack of production
going on. This is because they lack quality, and they have
no leaders to duplicate the system for them. Another
important note you should make is that you should
work with the willing and the hungry. Usually you
will find that the people that are the hungriest to
achieve something more in life are the leaders that
will lead your team and duplicate for you.

Moreover, something that I can not stress enough is
FOLLOW UP! It is critical that you follow up with
people. Network Marketing is not the traditional
route to success for most people, so although they
may start the business, most of them still have a
little bit of resistance due to the old programming
they are accustomed to, which is go to school, get
a degree, and get a good job so that you can work
for someone else for the rest of your life and be
miserable waking up every single morning doing it.
Believe me, there will be times when you talk to
someone about the business and they are not too sure
if they want to get started or not, or they say
something like, well, when you start getting results
get back to me. I am telling you now, make sure you do!

The fortune is in the follow up...

One crucial facet of having successful Internet home businesses is selling wholesale and retail products with online capability. You might focus on local customers, perhaps through your local publications sites or pure play classified sites such as Craigs list dot com or local auction vendors.

Most of those advertisers are still going to want to complete the transactions online. Your Internet business must allow them to do that to be successful. This is hard core customary habit they are used to and will not change from it.

There are some inter net vendors that will help you do that. In fact small, new and hungry entrepreneurs, especially those with an Internet home business, may find that the easiest and most affordable way, to offer the opportunity to purchase their products online is by advertising it through local newspapers.

There the electric vendor and merchant account has already partnered with the newspaper and the advertiser merchants and can take advantage of that relationship that is already in existence by placing ads with the papers.

For example, take a look at the Tampa Tribune. This paper site has partnered with the vendor AdPay dot com, to offer electronic components to private parties and companies.

Internet home business entrepreneurs and other merchants can post their ad to the Tribune site, download photos of the products they are selling along with a description and the asking price.

Both users and potential buyers can view all the ads and check off the ones they want added to their list of possible buys. Then they can ask for more information from the sellers. They can make an offer to buy it and complete a Click N Buy transaction.

Clicking on the more information and make an offer link would display the zoom in photo of the item along with several ways to communicate with the seller. This is whether it is an Internet business, big company, or private party.

The information options are to ask the advertiser a question by e-mail, then to do a keyword search for other products or information by this particular advertiser. If the seller is Joan Jewelry, an Internet home business, for example, keyword searching Joan Jewelry would bring up all the other products Joan has for sale.

This could also display an article last week about her store opening, or her jewelry web log site address.

Other neat actions available to the buyer with this e online service include opportunities to find similar listings with one click (from any advertiser on the site, whether Internet home business, large business or private persons); to add the item to the user watch list, send the ad to a friend by e-mail, also to report the ad as inappropriate.

The small Internet home business entrepreneur, depending on the particular papers, would pay per click, or a percentage of the sale of the ad to the paper, or pay preset ad rates.

Whichever way the business pays the newspaper for the opportunity to add e-commerce to her or his enterprise, it is always considerably less costly up front and less time consuming and learning intensive than trying to set up a home business merchant account and online capability on your own site. Is this good or what?

If you think that an MLM business might be for you, you will probably need some guidance in deciding which firms are legitimate and which multi level marketing companies are really disguised fraudulent pyramid schemes. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, to separate the good business opportunities from the bad.

Is the marketing and management of the MLM firm legal and ethical as far as you can tell?

Is the company well known and in business for at least two years?

Is there really a product or is this a pyramid scheme that relies for its profit the proceeds from signing up new distributors?

What are the company's history and its track record for customer service to consumers and distributors? Are you able to talk to current or former distributors to determine if they are treated well and honestly?

Is the company's product consumable, unique and of sound quality? Might I buy and use this product if I saw it available at the price this company is asking? 
Is the market for this product or service expanding or saturated? Are its prospects for growth sound?

Does the brand name of the product or products have a readily recognized name, and good reputation? Is it packaged attractively?

If the MLM company is global is your compensation plan as a distributor set up seamlessly, so you don't have to sign up more than once?

Are the products costly enough and priced highly enough that you can make a good income with a reasonable amount of sales?

What are your requirements for having inventory on hand? You don't want to get stuck with a house full of MLM products you can't get rid of should you change your mind about working for the firm.  

Is the upfront cost reasonable, and one you can afford? Are you compelled to work a number of hours you'll be hard pressed to complete on a regular basis?
If the multi level marketing firm requires an upfront fee to join you should be receiving something tangible for your money, such as advertising and marketing materials and help, and sample packs of inventory. Find out what you get for your fee.

Ask if the MLM will provide a Web page or site, or help you set one up? Whether the site is your own or an extension of the MLM firm's site, determine how easy to navigate, professional looking and comprehensive that site is and will be. What kind of technical support and bandwidth will be included? Is there an administrative tool that lets you keep track of your customers, your sales and your compensation? Is it customizable so you can change your contact information and other details as you need? Will this includes artwork for marketing and advertising? Would your customers be able to access online information about products and pricing, and a way to contact you?

Would you, as a distributor for this MLM firm, receive news and product updates on a regular basis?  
The last question you must ask yourself before you decide on this firm and its products as your MLM of choice is do you like and are you enthused about its product or products? In other words, can you believe in it enough to sell it convincingly?

Marketing offline is a great way to compliment your online campaigns. It helps target people who otherwise might not spot your online presence. Plus it helps you target people who have Internet access and email when you include your URL or web site address in all of your ads. To help you make the most of your offline marketing, here are a few tips from the pros:

1. INSERTS - Ask for media kits from print publications that target your industry readers. Find out their rates for inserts. And have their advertising department help you create a marketing insert for your products and services that targets Internet users and includes your URL and email address. Do include a phone number (toll-free, if possible) for those who have technical difficulties or prefer to call.

2. TEACH - Hold affordable (or free) offline classes at a local community center or other educational facility. Share your knowledge in your area of expertise with attendees. And make sure to distribute handouts with complete contact information, including your website and email address. Be pro-active and post-active by announcing your classes in a press release to the local media; radio, television, print publications. And follow up by inviting students to enter feedback and referrals in your website form after the class if over. Capture their contact information, enter it into your database, and follow up regularly - sending them your ezine and product / service announcements, both via email and regular postal mail.

3. ORGANIZATIONS - Target your offline marketing to groups of people who will actually be interested in your product or service; i.e. local associations and organizations. Check your Yellow Pages for groups near you and find out when their meetings are. Call ahead to make sure guests are welcome. Then go and network at an easy pace, not fast. Slowly work your way into the group and make sure it would be a good fit for you; you'll want to give at first, then you'll receive later on (maybe after your first year, even).

Gradually distribute your business cards - with your website and email address on them. Volunteer to teach about your area of expertise if the chance arises, of course distributing your marketing materials with our website and email address on them, too.

Use caution, before rushing to join during or after the first meeting. Take your time to make sure the group would be a good fit for you and your business operations. Sometimes group operations are lacking or suffer due to board member turnover, the economy, new industry laws, etc. So you might benefit from waiting to join for several months down the road, or trying a different group all together. So reach out and advertise offline to compliment your online strategy. And remember to include your website and email address on all of your marketing tools.

Business networking is a decade old concept of doing business, which has grown immensely. With the advent of internet, business networking has gone from strength to strength and has generated millions of dollars in business. Although business networking is individual based and marketing oriented, it has brought to the fore many a product that eluded the reach of many people.

These business networks have a business model that is also known as multi level marketing. The business model follows the system of appointing individual distributors that work with the company by selling the products as well as appointing other distributors under them. Basically the earning of the individual is partly from margins generated by sale of goods and a percentage of sales achieved by the distributors they appoint. A business network individual grows by appointing distributors under him and motivating them to appoint more under them. The level of earning under each network depends upon the network statistics and percentages as laid down by the parent company.

Many innovative business networking schemes keep cropping up anew day after day and one need not be surprised if an invitation comes your way. They are easy to run and easy to sell. This is so, because these business networks target the people near and around a business person, like relatives, friends, colleagues and acquaintances. When a good business networking opportunity comes across, it becomes keeping in touch and earning money all the more fun.

These business networking schemes also help increase your circle of friends and acquaintances and help to increase one's social influence and business presence that may be unrelated to the network business itself.

The best way to go about taking up a business networking proposition is to select the bets available sponsor. The sponsor should be able to guide a new independent distributor in the initial stages of business and help learn the finer nuances. He or she should be able to act as a friend, philosopher and guide. Taking the business slow at the beginning would be good, so that a new distributor can break teeth into it. Most business networking programs offer excellent and peerless training sessions that change your outlook towards life forever.

No question about it; you provide one of the most valuable services imaginable. However, without an ongoing and ever-increasing number of new, quality prospects, you'll eventually run out of people with whom to share the benefits. You might even end up asking yourself that most dreaded of questions in the world of sales, which is, "Who do I talk to next, now that my original list of names has run out?" That thought can be downright discouraging, can't it? Then again, it need not happen.

Network marketing can be a very lucrative business to get into but finding the top network marketing company can be very frustrating. With so many scams and fly by night operations an individual can become very confused about what exactly they should be looking for in a top network marketing company.

Let me show you some tips on things to look for in a good solid company with a proven track record for success. But just remember just because you find a great network marketing company does not guarantee you success. It's up to the individual network marketer to work his business and have a solid plan for building their team and income.

The first thing that you need to do is eliminate any company that has not been around for at least five years. Doing this will assure you that the company is legitimate and distributors are earning enough money to stick with the company over time. Also you want to be secure about putting your money and time into something that will be around for a long time.

What About Products?

When looking for the top network marketing company it is vital that you look at what you are going to be selling and also ask yourself a few questions about the products that you are going to sell. Here is three important tests that must be passed in order to find the right company and the right products.

1. Do they offer unique niche products?
You don't want to be selling stuff that has a lot of competition or can be easily purchased elsewhere for a big discount.

2. Do people actually want to buy it?
You are going to need to sell something that people are going to really want. It has to have much value to the customer and not just accumulate dust in a garage. Many people try and quit network marketing because they end up buying stuff they don't use.

3. Does the product have long term income potential?
You have to stay away from companies that offer fad products. You can't build a long term residual income on something that will only be popular for a year or two. The best products are those which are high in demand with little competition and always needed by consumers.

How much should I invest?

When you are first starting out with network marketing especially if it's your first time you have to make sure that you don't put yourself into debt. You need to find a company that is free to sign up. There are some companies that will still let you earn smaller commissions for being a free member and give you the option to upgrade for a small monthly fee, usually no more than $25-30 a month to become an full distributor and earn full commissions.

You need a network marketing company that will give you the opportunity to earn enough income with the littlest effort to cover the costs of being a distributor and get into profit quickly.

Here are some things that you should look for in the marketing system:

1. Do they provide you with automation tools for your business such as auto-responders, lead capture pages and follow up emails for your prospects?

2. Do they have a complete marketing system with a step-by-step plan for promoting the opportunity and products?

3. Do they provide support by phone or email?

This brings us to one of the two most important things to look for in a top network marketing company.

You need a sponsor that cares!

You need a sponsor that is going to want you to succeed and care about your business. A good sponsor will provide you with coaching and support to help you get your network marketing business off the ground. Too many people in network marketing just sponsor people and forget all about them which leads to people becoming inactive and quitting due to lack of quick success. This is why 95% of all people who get into this business never make any money.

The last most important thing is just to make sure that you truly believe in your success as a network marketer and have a lot of fun doing it. You can have the best compensation plan in the world but if you do not enjoy what you are doing than you will never see success.

I hope that this list of things can help you find the top network marketing company that's right for you. As tempting as it may be, don't just jump at the first thing you see. Do a little research and you can be well on your way to building a lifetime of residual income with network marketing.

Why did you become a network marketer? Most people immediately respond, "for the money!" However, this is not the real reason.

No one subjects them to the hard work of building a business just for little pieces of paper with the faces of dead presidents. The truth is you work in order to obtain what those little pieces of paper can bring you.

The first thing you need to do is to find the reason WHY you are a network marketer. Is it the freedom to choose whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it? Maybe you are looking for a different lifestyle. If there is one thing that is critical to your network marketing success, this is it. If you don't have a reason, there is no motivation to succeed.

A network marketing business is a teaching and coaching business. If you don't like interaction with other people, a network marketing business probably is not for you. There's a concept that most network marketers just can't seem to get a handle on. You do not sponsor "reps," you sponsor "people!"

If you have to find a reason why you are building your business, then doesn't it stand to reason that other people will have to do the same thing? If that's the case, then why is it that network marketers continually focus on how much money your prospect can earn?

There's no way you are going to convince "Joe Sixpack," to get out of his Lazyboy recliner unless you find out what his motivation is. Most network marketers literally pound in the amount of money Joe can earn. They bombard him with message after message about how "Successful Sam" has just purchased his 10th Porsche, refurnished his 25,000 square foot cottage and promise Joe that he can do the same!

Just how realistic is this approach? Joe isn't stupid. He works long, hard hours at his job in order to provide for his family and truly believes that the best thing he can hope for is saving enough money by summer to pay for a camping trip. Then here you come, promising Joe that he can have everything that Sam has and he can have it if he will just sign that piece of paper making you his sponsor!

You will probably sponsor a few people that way, but if you are in business for the long haul you need to change your approach and do it fast.

The proper approach is so simple, but in your rush to sponsor another "rep" instead of helping another person, all too often you talk yourself into and straight out of sponsoring the Joes of the world.

God gave you two ears and one mouth and he did it for a reason. We are supposed to "listen" twice as much as we "speak."

Instead of pouncing on Joe with the latest and greatest network marketing program of all time, find out what Joe wants and needs. Ask him questions, lots of questions. In fact, in your first meeting with Joe, don't even mention your business! Yes, that's what I said. Don't even bring it up. Remove yourself from the super duper network marketing persona and spend time making a new friend.

Follow these recommendations and you are set to grow your business exponentially.

Multilevel marketing is picking up a lot of steam. Over the last fifty year plus it has gotten lots of men and women steamed or angry.

This is due in large part to the amount and quality of people online and offline that are hyping a multilevel marketing career and all of the profits and benefits that go along with it. If you are interested in it, you will have no problem finding information online to help you get started. I provide you very serious guidelines, in this article, about starting in it.

The bottom line is that mode of business marketing is here to stay, whether we like it or not. Attorney generals in all 50 US states have received tens of thousands of complaints of dishonesty and are frustrated with it going back three generations to the 1940 years of the last century. To the attorney generals it is a big irritation because of all the time they have had to spend on it due to all of the legitimate dishonesty claims they have had to handle in dealing with it.

However, this is still our, meaning the American, Canadian and British countries. It is the job of the government legal gal and guy attorneys, barristers and others to deal with this and so they have had to learn to deal and work with it. We do not like our governments telling us what we can and cannot do.

Too many of us have died and been injured in wars over the last thousand years to allow legal and government people to tell us how to live our lives. To tell us what we can and cannot do. Trust ourselves and not the government to decide.

As soon as a decent amount of people started to cash in on multilevel marketing starting with Amway years ago and a company even before that, the number of interested people began to increase. With this has come the notion that multilevel marketing is not going anywhere. The reality is that it is always going somewhere. Good or bad.

Government people and self proclaimed experts call it a pyramid. If a company has a genuine product it is not a pyramid in the sense that government rulers say. In truth, every religion, government and organization in the world is a pyramid when there is more than one person running it because someone is always ranked above someone else in someway.

The most dishonest pyramid scheme ever is the American social security program. Congressmen and Senators are literally stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from it everyday for so called social programs to get themselves reelected down the road. When you call or write them about this they say that YOU do not understand how it works. Nice, huh?

The problem is they do Not understand. It is that they have no right to the hard earned money we are working for everyday and that it is not theirs. They swarm you with dishonest arguments as to why they can do this. I have been in furious battle with them for years about this. Now they are also trying to tell us they understand MLM and we do not. Nonsense!

If you are not familiar with what this kind of marketing can do for and to you, you should bone up on the details as soon as you can. Network marketing is a way to make money when you sign people up for a certain service or product. It is generally defined as word of mouth advertising.

On the internet it is now word of print advertising. A very small percentage of the general population of the Earth have the talent to do this. To be successful you have to spend thousands of hours of study and work. Understandably, few of us have the stomach or will to do this. There are too many easier internet opportunities to compete with it. Affiliate marketing and article directories are the hottest new ones.

To take this further, with mlm, you can also make money when the people that you sign up recruit members of their own. So in general terms, you will make money with a pyramid type effect. There is nothing wrong with this as long as you have the unique skills and powerful work ethic to do it. It can be done but it is very hard to do. If you do not have the natural or hard earned talents, it is almost impossible to succeed at.

For people that are interested in online multi marketing, the optimum place to start searching is online. There are hundreds of companies that you can sign up with in order to make money with this marketing mode. Extremely few are legitimate. Just make sure that what you are doing is legal. Ninety nine percent of them are useless. No exaggeration here.

There are marketing schemes out there that are not legal in the majority of the states. Never consider a company that has been in business for less than five years. If you are new to it you will need a professional hand holder to guide you until you are able to stand on your own two feet at this. The companies will tell you they will do this. Sorry, the big lie is here. You are the man or woman who has to stand on your own two feet at this, not them.

After you start with virtually all companies the truth will come out. They will criticize and mock you for being lazy, impatient and stupid. If you have gone with a company this far it is time to hit the road and find another one, or more sensibly, get out of the multi marketing business permanently. I know because I have been successful with several different companies.

Several of them declared bankruptcy and kept millions of dollars for the founders. When this happens you are stuck. They are legally allowed to do this. Remember, this has happened many times over the years.

Some companies have great training programs, like Prepaid Legal, but you are the one who has to carry the ball All the time and get hit all the time. You can avoid this without any complications by getting hooked up with a network marketing campaign that is run by a reputable company.

Still, I repeat, you do all the heavy lifting. If you can do it, that is fine. If you cannot you are just wasting time and money from your life doing this. You must understand this.

If you are not sure if this kind of marketing is right for you, look into the benefits that it offers. There are many online forums devoted to it. By becoming a member you can ask questions of more experienced member leaders. They will be able to give you advice on where to start, and how to progress.

If they tell you it is easy, they might be telling the truth as they see it, because they are great natural sales people and love working long days and nights. I am like this myself. If this is you, and for some people it actually is, that is fine and go for it. If this is not you it is a waste of time and effort.

Simply put, you will want to read up as much as you can on a home business like network marketing before you get started. Like any other career, the more that you know about it the better chance you have of being a success. It is not welfare.

Someone else, no matter how talented, cannot do it for you. I hope you understand that by now. Since this style of marketing is relatively new, it is very important that you are familiar with the industry as a whole.

This method of marketing is definitely here to stay. Many companies now do it in a very modified level. Frustrated government people or not happy with it.

There are enough people out there making money with it, who are great sales people, so that the popularity will always be high. But, as I have taught you here, buyer be very aware. For people that are searching for a way to make cash online, this method of marketing is seldom a good option.

Overall, try it out if you are interested in a new way to make money online. However, apply the lessons above for your own time and financial security.

Anyone can make a success out of an online network marketing business if they have the instructions laid out for them. The biggest problem with getting the information you need to do this is that most successful network marketing owners want to keep their secrets to themselves rather than helping others to succeed. It only takes a few steps to get you on the right path to success in your network marketing venture. You will need to be social and willing to work hard, but you can have a successful online network marketing business.

The first thing you will need to have for your online network marketing business is personal experience of your product. If you can come up with a short story of how your product has changed your life, then people will listen to what you have to say. Once you get enough people purchasing your product, you will want to create a testimonial page on your website. Hearing your product has worked for other people will make more people want to buy your product.

After you come up with your own personal story, you will need to promote your online network marketing product. The more people hear about your product and business the more they will want to purchase it or get involved. You will need to know how to talk to people. If you want to secure the sale, then you need to learn how to listen twice as much as you talk. You need to be willing to find out what the customer is looking for and not just provide them with the necessary information, although you will need to do that as well.

Once you figure out what the customer is looking for, then you can tell them how your product is going to change their life and how you can help them. Make sure your customers know that you are there for them. Make them feel like they matter and they will be your customers for life. They will see that you are not just another sales guy trying to peddle their product. Either the customer will want your product or they won't. Just remember to relax.

Lastly, you will need a commitment to your business and believe in it more than anyone else. You will need to put in the time and the effort and go the distance to make you and your business stands out in the crowd. You do not want to be just like everyone else in your field. You will want to make that extra phone call, recruit that extra person, and provide your downline with that extra piece of advice. If you can pull all of these pieces together, then you will definitely make a huge success out of your online network marketing business.

Don't make someone else rich! What is the ultimate pyramid scheme? Your place of employment is, most likely, a fine example of a pyramid scheme. Think about it! The time that you are spending working for someone else is making them very rich. Why not take that time and make yourself rich? It is easier than you think!

Are you tired of trading your time for a paycheck? Are you sick and tired of going to work every day to make someone else rich? Do you hate your lifestyle? If any of the above is true for you, then read on.

Multi level marketing allows you to change your lifestyle and have more time to do what you want to do because Multilevel Marketing allows you to create residual income. Residual income is money that comes in month after month without you having to do any extra work. For example, residual income of $700 a month is the equivalent of investing $168,000 in a CD that returns five percent. There are MLM companies that only require a downline of 20 people or less to make a residual income of $700. You could go on vacation for a month, and still make $700. Now, that is powerful. So, remember, Multilevel marketing is not about making money; it's about residual income. When you understand the concept of residual income, the power of network marketing becomes crystal clear.

Six reasons that multilevel morketing will change your life:
1- Multilevel marketing allows you to work at home. Not only does multilevel marketing allow you to work at home, multilevel marketing allows you to live where ever you want to live. You can travel, live on a boat, in a camper, go camping, and bicycle across the country. With a laptop that has a wireless internet connection and you can continue to work your business from just about anywhere in the United States.

2- The internet has completely changed multilevel marketing. The internet allows you access to millions of people who are looking for a home based business. Let me repeat that. These people are looking for a home based business, just like you are. There were 264,837 searches for the key word "work at home" in the month of January, 2007. From the comfort of your own home, you have access to anyone in the world that has a computer.

3- Contribute to what you like to contribute to. Multilevel marketing allows you to be who you want to be. Since you are making your own money you are not tied to the rules and norms of the corporation that you work for. You are not constrained when you go to work and, the one I like is that you don't have to suck up to your boss.

4- You get to pick the people that you work with. You see there are only certain types of people that are going to expend the energy to succeed in the MLM business. These types of people are what I call the passionately curious. They are highly motivated to change their life style, because they hate their life style or they are broke. They are considerate, ask pertinent questions, are interested in what you have to say and take action.

5- Small start up expenses-with most MLM companies you can get started for as little as $20. Compare this to any brick and mortar business and you will see that the start up costs are the inverse of one another.

6- Help other people-Network marketing is a business that requires everyone to help one another in order to succeed. If you were to sign up to be my business partner I would benefit the most when you make the most money. My goal is for you to succeed. What a great concept! In a corporation, the exact inverse is true. If you were to work for me, the corporation executives make the most money when you make the least money. Where do you think their motivation is? The executive's goal is to get as much work you and pay you as little as possible. They are looking out for number one, just like you are.

With the powerful tool of the internet, network marketing is much easier than it has ever been before. All that is required to succeed is dedication, on your part, and good teachers that can show you how to put the internet to work for you so you can meet the right people.

There has been a new hope for individuals and families alike spreading throughout the United States and the world. A hope that they can work a satisfying and rewarding job from their home. A chance to own a business emerges to the forefront and has created a craze we call Multi-Level Marketing. Multi-Level Network Marketing offers the opportunity for those individuals with little or no resources the opportunity to own their own business, be their own boss, and most importantly, gives them control of their own destiny.

Multi-Level Marketing truly is a business where the more self-motivated a person is and the more time the person spends obtaining their goals the more the pay off is. MLM Marketing holds the promise of good part-time income to becoming substantially wealthy, if -not a millionaire. There are over a half of a million people in the United States that are millionaires, 20% of them made their fortunes with Multi-Level Marketing businesses. What is Multi-Level Marketing and how does it work? Multi-Level marketing is a simple concept that has had its share of good and bad publicity. Many reputable companies have made many individuals affiliated with their companies a good, solid turnaround on their investments, while a few companies in the past have taken the consumer for a ride.

MLM Network marketing had an uphill battle in establishing a good reputation. However, in recent years, MLM marketing has done just that. Many companies have proven time and time again that they're here to stay. They have delivered quality products to their consumers and have kept their promises to their employees. How does it work? Most network marketing companies have a product to sell. When you buy your business you usually have two options with MLM, you can just sell the product, make a basic commission and work solely with customer delivery and satisfaction. Or you could sell a product and offer the chance for an established customer, friend, or anyone that's interested to become an own business owner as you are. This is called recruitment.

When your recruit goes out and sells and recruits, then you make commissions on not only the products you sell, then the sales of your recruits and their recruits. This system is usually done in pyramid format with you being the top of the pyramid and all your recruits and your recruit's recruits falling beneath you. The sales trickle down the pyramid and the commissions go up. Make sense? Most MLM companies will present you with a chart that explains the setup of how their recruitment system works as well as percentages you will be paid on commission. If you're interested in a MLM Network marketing plan, it's best to speak with someone that has been affiliated with the company for some time and has actually received money. This can help you avoid a scam usually but not always. Another thing you might try is contacting the Better Business Bureau and ask about reports. Whatever you decide, there's probably a MLM Network marketing company right for you.

Are you curious about Internet marketing or network marketing? Not sure what it is, or how it works? Is it a modern day version of a pyramid scheme that is now on the Internet? No, it is not a pyramid scheme it is a network of individuals who sell products.

You probably have been one of those consumers. The way that network marketing functions is that certain individuals have an extensive knowledge of the products that are going to be sold.

This is not the same as going into a store and asking a sales person for information on a product, they then look at you as if you came from another planet, and they have no idea how to answer your question. Those with this information train others to be as knowledgeable as they are and then they train others to do the same tasks and so on. While the training takes place each representative will sell the products via word of mouth and everyone profits from these multiple efforts

Multi-level marketing (MLM) differs because they are a large company that will train individuals to sell a product and then these new representatives will train another when they have learned about the products and each works at various levels of compensation. In multi-level marketing (MLM) the companies financial growth does not depend on the amount of products sold. Their profit comes from the amount of individuals that are part of their company selling the products although they do require that the products are only sold through multi-level marketing (MLM) business.

In order to rise to the top of a company in the economy of today you usually have to work for them your entire life and that is not done as much as it was done 50 years ago. Most employees are always looking for the better off opportunity and will not hesitate to leave the firm they are with if they are offered a better financial package.

This is one of the draws of network marketing. They can make a residual income for the rest of their lives and work it as either a fulltime or part-time business. You can work a current job and do network marketing on the side until you are ready to do network marketing full time.

What most people like about this form of income is that there are no barriers to the amount of money you can make or any form of discrimination or the thought of not having enough qualifications. The risk is low, the financial requirement to start is low, and you do not have to restock items. Your primary investment is a good work ethic and a willingness to meet new people and let them know how their lives can change for the better.

Network marketing is a profession. In order to master any profession, you need proper training. Often people start a network marketing business with no or only minimal training. The training that network marketing companies teach is often not enough. How do I dare to say that? Just look at the numbers. Our industry has huge attrition rates. Majority of new network marketers fail to generate the extra income they are after when starting their businesses, and many just quit or start a new venture hoping for better success in the next one.

What do you need to become a network marketing professional?

First of all, you need to commit to personal development in order to build the correct mindset. You need to dedicate time daily to read personal development books and/ or listen to CDs and tapes to build a success mindset. You have probably heard the saying: The amount of money you make will always be in direct proportion to your personal growth. The most successful people have mentors and coaches in various areas of life.

Secondly, your task as a network marketer is to build a huge contact or lead database. It doesn't help to have a great product/service or opportunity, if you don't have enough prospects to share your product/service or recruiting information with. The biggest challenge network marketers face is how to generate quality leads. Network marketing companies teach people various methods to prospect and promote their businesses, e.g. their warm market, talk to anyone (so called 3 ft rule), advertise free in the internet and generate leads through your website, place ads in local newspapers, post flyers around town etc. Many network marketing companies also recommend to buy opportunity seeker leads the prices of which range from pennies to several dollars a piece. I personally believe that all of these methods work if you just work them long and persistently enough. However, the question is who has the persistency and funds to do it?
You need a simple methodology that works for you and you truly believe in yourself, and most importantly that is easy to duplicate and teach to your team members.

Thirdly, network marketing is a sales profession. If someone tells you that you don't have to sell anything when you join a network-marketing program, it is simply not true. You might not need to sell a product or service, but you need to sell an idea to the other person to get him or her involved. It is a form of selling and you need to get good at it before you can really succeed in network marketing. You need to know how to create a compelling message to invite the prospects to take a look at your information, you need to be able to answer the questions and concerns, and most importantly, you need to know the correct way to ask for the final decision i.e. close. Sales skills also comprises of being a good listener and the ability to build relationships.

If you master these three areas: correct mindset, methodology to generate prospects, sales skills, you are a network marketing professional.

Ever been in a scenario when someone asked you if you had a business card and you had to write your contact information on a slip of paper or a napkin?

It's not the ideal situation, is it?

Having a business card is integral to running a successful business and networking with other people. Business cards are an extension of you and your business.

Your business card is a portable and mini version of who you are, what you do, and how to get a hold of you. It's real estate in someone's Rolodex as well as in their mind.

Being able to quickly trade or give a business card to a potential client or business partner is not just convenient, it's a necessity and suggests that you are someone who takes their line of work seriously.

I can still remember various business cards over the years that have made an impact on me visually.

In fact, the card I have in mind at present is one that I received several months ago. It was from voice actor Daria M. Dutzmann. The branding was quite unique, had catchy colors and an obvious, identifiable theme.

Even though I haven't looked at this card for a couple of months (and do not have it in front of me now), it left an impact on me and because of its originality, it still owns a piece of my mental real estate today.

While it's good to be memorable and to brand effectively, it's also good to make sure that you have all of your bases covered regarding the information that you make available on your business card.

What should be included as mandatory business card information?

- Your business name
- A few words describing what you do (i.e. Professional Voice Talent, Composer, etc.)
- Your first name and last name
- Your business telephone number
- Your business email address
- Your business website
- Your business mailing address

I've seen all kinds of business cards and something I've noticed along the way is that paper quality matters. It's not necessarily about flashy colors all the time or how many of them you have. The difference that the weight of a piece of paper can make is incredible.

My sister-in-law Lisa, a graphic designer who specializes in letterpress, taught me long ago what the difference is between a common piece of paper and one that has rich, strong fibers that give a piece of paper that extra texture and durability.

If your business card selection is being made based purely on cost, don't skimp out on the weight or quality of paper that your cards are printed on. Cards that have a physical weight or robust feel to them are associated with strength, professionalism and are pleasing to touch and examine when held in your hand.

Although business cards are extremely important and for the most part are inexpensive, some people do not purchase them because of printing and shipping costs.

If you are a member of this camp, perhaps a beginner, re-branding, or just about to move locations, there are a couple of options you can consider for more economical business card production.

You could always design the card yourself at home using a template from a software package and print off the cards yourself or explore using services on the Internet that provide printing free of charge if you agree to list their company information on the back of the card.

Printing (ink related) and paper expenses may prove too costly to print up massive quantities of business cards at home, so the second option may be more viable for you to consider.

If you are looking to get some printing done online for next to nothing, if not nothing, these services are easy to find.

Why do they offer that option?

Every time you give a card out, they get advertising for their website and printing services. By printing off your cards in a high volume, they are in effect saving money on advertising by supplying you with business cards to give away to numerous contacts. It makes more sense to have your cards bear their information and give you the cards for free than it does to throw more money into advertising on their own.

You have cards, can use them, and are happy. They made you happy, have their name printed on your cards, and may also receive more business because of that fact.

Services that offer free products also give you the option to pay for your cards without printing their information on them. The choice is yours.

Now, those are just the basics.

While you need to have effective branding, clearly communicated contact information, and a paper weight that you are comfortable with, it is possible to add bells and whistles to your business cards if you have budgeted for them.

Recently voice talent Mike Massa gave me a very impressive mini package that accompanied his business card which included a compact disc (miniature size) with his voice over samples on it.

Ingenious!

The package itself is a plastic sleeve marginally larger than his business card with enough room to slip in the CD housing his commercial and narration demos, complete with his branding on the disc and play list, including a breakdown of all the spots in each demo so that when you are listening along, you know what is coming up next.

You could think of it as a miniature jewel case with inserts only this is a soft sleeve. There is still cover art as well as the play list and Mike's contact information. He has a regular business card in addition to this package, so if you are planning to present your prospects with something more tangible, be sure not to overlook the basic business card when marketing your talents.

Key points to remember:

- Brand effectively
- Include your full business contact information
- Be aware of the paper weight
- Do your research
- Always have a stack of business cards on hand wherever you go

Independent based MLM businesses have been around for decades.

Many ignorant attorney generals have bad mouthed MLM as chain letters or pyramids or both. For would be sign ups who have bought this opinion, it now makes it almost impossible for us average intelligence folks to build a downline because our prime time target market fellow human beings just do not believe us anymore.

There are many reasons for this. The young generations of workers, just out of school, are poisoned by the many cases of flat out dishonesty by networker marketers of these MLMs. They pick up on the wild claim hype of making fortunes in no time at all with virtually no mental or physical work.

They claim fabulous cures of almost all maladies by various health and nutrition products that come out via MLMs. Common sense tells them to stay out of it.

Some savvy health and nutrition companies pick up these items, one by one, as the MLMs go broke and start selling them directly to the public at very low prices. So the MLMs are having a benefit in the health and nutrition areas and some others besides. Unfortunately the financial benefit goes to the sharp retailers per above.

Unfortunately, some of the health and nutrition products do have fabulous benefits that make MDs an endangered species in many areas but, the truth of these good items virtually always gets exaggerated and few people end up believing them to have any benefits at all.

Another invention, the laundry ball, was marketed well by a company that went broke and now, years later, an energy company has taken this neat idea and improved it and sells the new and improved laundry ball with no exaggerated claims and makes a nice profit on them.

A legal discount package MLM is still successful. You can make it with this one but you need lots of money, talent and time and a very serious work ethic to make it with them.

If you have all of these you can do it. If you lack any of them you do not have a chance. The government has attacked this legitimate company with frivolous claims that the company has overcome.

Even the great Amway was attacked by the government but they also won and still exist.

I have been in no less than three MLM companies myself that had large amounts of money in the bank and they all declared bankruptcy and kept the money in the bank for themselves. This was legal by the way. I spent thousands of hours training studying and working these business opportunities, all for nought.

Affiliate programs on the internet have sucked away MLM talent by the tens of thousands. Ebay has sucked away more thousands of opportunity seekers with their auction business. The creative buying and selling real estate industry has sucked away many thousands of opportunity seekers also.

Many small niche businesses on and off the internet have sucked away more of the entrepreneur talent. So guess what? There is no more talent to recruit into MLM opportunities.

The only way an MLM can make it nowadays is if they have extremely unique and beneficial products that no one can touch. Sorry, my friends, there are many great copycats out there.

Mainland Communist China will copy anything they can get their hands on that works and they could care less about our laws or other international laws. Do you understand? The market for MLM is gone unless you have super products. If someone does have legitimate super products they can be found selling them on, you guessed it, the internet.

In fact, it's probably safe to say that virtually all MLM business is, or at least certainly can be, home based. That's often the beauty of the MLM industry and the primary intrigue for those who join an MLM as a distributor.

Some products marketed on the internet have been filled up in just weeks or months. No more sales or recruiting people were needed.

The first home based MLM business was Nutralite, which is now a subsidiary of Amway. Nutralite, founded in 1949 by Jay VanAndel and Rich DeVos, was the start of network marketing and the start of the food supplement and vitamin sales industry.

In 1959, after long standing internal wrangling between the manufacturing subsidiary and the marketing folks, VanAndel and DeVos decided to create a whole new company as a resolution. This was how Amway, the first national home based MLM business, was formed.

Amway bought the Nutralite product and firm in 1969 and has long retained its title as the largest MLM business in the world, home based or otherwise. Most of the new business now comes from overseas.

Viewing the Amway success, other home based MLM business ventures soon cropped up, including those not so reputable. A scam called the Ponzi scheme, actually developed back in the 1920's, was redesigned to look like an MLM but designed to deliver profit to only the designers and the con artists running the scam. This home based MLM business look alike came to be known as a pyramid scheme.

The US government now runs the biggest Ponzi scheme ever called Social Security. We put money in for the future and our congressmen and senators take it out, or more appropriately steal it from you, for various social programs so they will get reelected.

Amazingly, one year during the Clinton presidential administration they claimed they balanced the federal budget. The truth was they clearly stole hundreds of millions of dollars from your future. How many elected men and women in either party have the emotional courage to charge them with that? Unfortunately none at this time.

The basic difference between a legitimate home based MLM business - one that can and does actually reward every hardworking distributor with commissions on the products they sell - and a pyramid scheme is that there is a product that does pay profit to the seller. A pyramid scheme is solely about rewarding those at the top of the pyramid heap.

In a pyramid scheme, which, by the way, is illegal, the scammers lure others to join what they present as a legitimate home based MLM business by telling them of hefty profits quickly and ask that the victim and would be distributor, send payment for the products to sell.

In a true home based MLM business there is also typically an upfront cost for a sample box of products to start selling but those products are legitimate for sale products. In a pyramid scheme, what the would be entrepreneur gets for her or his payment, is the information on how to present other would be distributors with the lure of quick dollars, take their money and send them the very same instructions on luring others. There is no product in a pyramid scheme.

. In truth, this is how it has always worked with a high percentage of MLM companies. The very talented few prospered and all the others lost money and time. All businesses and the government itself are set up in basic pyramid stuctures.

If you can face reality, the beauty of MLM is over. Home businesses will continue to show up, but you are working or reviving a dead horse if you think you can make it in MLM.

Many of the great MLM leaders of the past now make good money selling you how to do MLM while they have completely left the industry themselves. I hope that clearly tells you something.

There is no product in a pyramid scheme. There is no profit in MLM for you, as I hope you now see, if you read the above.

It can be extremely costly to pay for promotional strategies that will drive targeted visitors to your website. Fortunately, there are effective ways to promote your multi-level marketing business online which are absolutely free.

The benefits of using free traffic sources are obvious. Without targeted traffic, a website will stagnate and an online business will die. However, not all traffic is created equal. There are viable sources of traffic, irrelevant traffic and downright scams. Purchasing traffic can be a minefield of expensive disappointment and is best avoided. There are enough reliable, quality sources of free traffic you can utilize to attract visitors to your website that you don't need to take unnecessary risks. These include:

Articles.

Writing articles and submitting them to article directories and to websites with a related audience and a lot of visitors can markedly increase the number of people visiting your website. If you write interesting, informative and original articles that provide genuine value to your readers, people will be inclined to click on the link to your website which you provide in your resource box.

When you offer your articles for free to article directories, your resource box and biographical information is included as a part of the deal. Websites can download your article and use it on their sites for free as long as they leave it totally in tact and include your contact information with a live link. You can negotiate to have the same arrangements yourself with individual websites.

Blogs.

Blogs can be time intensive, requiring regular updating, however interesting blogs can generate visitors interested in finding out more about you and what you offer. Your blog can link to your website's home page and also directly link to product sales pages. Blogs are very easy to set up. Google's Blogger is free of charge and very easy to use.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Search engine optimization refers to practices that maximize your website's position in search engine page results. This is done by creating valuable content, using popular keywords (but not too often), creating relevant one-way back links to your site, writing anchor text (hyperlink) that is relevant to the content and theme of your site without overdoing the use of keywords. As search engine algorithms become more sophisticated and able to detect formulas and strategies designed to appeal to search engines rather than to users, more and more websites are being penalized with falling page ranks.

Increasingly, the best SEO advice is to write naturally and grow your website organically. Don't use artificial means to please the search engines. Give users good value for money and make sure your links are relevant and your content is valuable and readable. High keyword densities usually create cluttered writing that is difficult to read.

Forums.

Participating in forums related to your niche can also attract visitors to your site. You need to be very careful when engaging with forums to understand the rules of the site. Often these are not as clear as the administrators might think and some site administrators can be quite nit-picky about what people write. Many forums do not allow self-promotion. Even if someone specifically asked a question about a problem that your product or service could solve, you wouldn't be able to answer it without having your post removed.

So how do you deal with these sorts of forum rules? The answer lies in taking advantage of your user signature. When you make a post in forums you can have a signature that provides your website link and what you do. This way if people like the quality of your posts they can click on the link and visit your site. Doing this also creates one-way back links to your site which helps with search engine positioning. There are however sites that will allow you to promote your services. Be prepared to take the time to locate the most suitable forums for your needs.

Ebooks.

It may surprise you to know that ebooks can also be a source of free traffic to your website. Offering a free ebook and taking the visitor to a subscriber page in order to download it, is an easy way to create an opt-in mail list that you can then use to create credibility with the subscriber and market to them over time. You can use article marketing to market the book and the book itself to create a data base of potential customers.

Press Releases.

Press releases can be an easy and effective way of generating free traffic to your website. Press releases are newsworthy stories about you or your business that are usually submitted to a media distribution outlet. They can be taken up by various media and turned into a news or special interest story which can create excellent and credible publicity for your business.

Any of these strategies will increase targeted traffic to your website, however a strategy using all of them will create a massive increase in visitors who are already predisposed to learning about your business opportunity.

Do you know which sales technique kills a deal faster than any other does? Do you know what this sales technique is so that you do not use it and blow deals?

Before considering the methods of selling that are most effective, it will be well to get rid of a mistaken idea that is all too common.

A great many people regard reasoning power, or the force of pure logic, as an important selling tool.

There are sales representatives who attempt to "argue" prospects into buying. Unthinking sales executives sometimes instruct their representatives to employ certain "selling arguments."

The methods and language of the debater have no place in the sales techniques used by a truly artistic sales representative or sales manager.

One debater never convinces the other. At best, debaters only defeat an antagonist.

In a skillfully finished sale, however, there should be neither victor nor vanquished.

The selling process is not a battle of minds.

There is no room in the sales process for any spirit of antagonism by a sales representative. When thinking about your best capabilities that you have to sell, do not emphasize the value of logic and reasoning. If you use them at all in selling yourself, you would be wise to disguise their character.

Never suggest that you are debating or arguing your qualifications with prospective buyers about your (or your companies) mental or physical capacity for service. You cannot browbeat your way into opportunities to succeed.

Most employers buy the expected services from sales reps to satisfy their own desires for particular capabilities. Few will buy against their wishes. You cannot make someone buy from you.

In order to sell your qualifications for success, you first must make the other person want the benefits you offer. Usually both the mind and heart must be stimulated to produce the desired results.

The most skillful salesperson does not use the words, tones and actions of argument. In preference to cold reasoning and logic, a good salesperson employs the art of mental suggestion and emotional persuasion.

Suggestion is especially effective in producing DESIRE.

A suggested idea is unlikely to provoke antagonism or resistance. A suggestion has power because it has ready access to the mind. Usually a suggestion gains access to the consciousness of a person without this individual even realizing it.

This is why suggestion via subliminal motivation techniques is so effective.

When people become conscious of an idea that you have suggested, they likely will treat the suggestion as one of their own ideas and not as an intruder. Naturally, they are less inclined to oppose a desire prompted by their own thoughts. If this person felt the idea had been planted in her subconscious, her resistance level would accelerate considerably.

All of us know the great power of suggestion. However, too few people use words, tones and movements to make use of the influence of suggestion. Suggestion is always more powerful than stating the idea directly.

Probably no tool of salesmanship will be of more help in assuring your success than a fully developed facility in the use of suggestion.

Suggestion is the skillful process of getting your ideas into the unsuspecting minds of others.

Have you incorporated the art of mental suggestion and emotional persuasion into your sales tools repertoire?

------------------ ARTICLE START ------------------

You've done it. You've signed up with a network marketing company. You're ready to get started with your teams advertising system. You're ready, set, go. All the ads hit, you're excited. Like a kid who can't wait to go to Disney World, you wait for the responses to pour in.

After 2-3 days... Nothing.

Why didn't anyone respond?

Don't worry. You're not alone. Matter of fact, this is a common scenario in MLM. People get jazzed, sign up with their uplines co-op, fire off a few hundred emails, get the postcards, and nothing comes of it.

Marketing experts they are not. You, of course, are smarter than that, which is why you're reading this special report right now. You want to know the top 7 mistakes people make in MLM, and you want to know the solutions to them.

Here they are:

Using "Institutional Advertising"

Institutional advertising is advertising that does not focus on your prospects. Rather on you, your company, your pay plan, your products, your bonus pool, your packaging, or the sales people at the home office. Anything that does not focus solely on your prospect is institutional advertising. Think of Coke-A-Cola. That's institutional advertising. Their sole purpose is brand their name into your mind. That way when you get thirsty and want a soda, you buy a Coke.

You must focus on your prospects ego and their desires. What they want takes priority over what you or the MLM company you're with wants. Tell them what's in it for them.

Solution: Create prospect focused advertising and drop your ego and appeal to the prospects ego.

Fell Into Managment Mode

This one is a biggy. In order to make money in network marketing (or in direct selling) the life blood is new business. For the first 2-3 years new business is what drives your income. If you spend all of your time managing people and none of it actually aquiring new business you'll fall into a mode where your income levels off or just drops. This is managment mode and it will stop you dead in your tracks from making long term income from MLM.

Solution: Always be moving forward, building your group. Leading by example. By building.

Making MLM Your Business

One of the most sobering and completely real facts of MLM is that you do not own your own MLM business. At any moment in time the network marketing company you're with could shut it's doors, change it's policies, cut the popular products (not likely, but happens) or any number of things that would instantly stop your income or cut it by 50%.

Making MLM your business limits you. Stops you from seeing all of the possibilities outside the MLM industry. Instantly turning your income into something that is in reality, not yours. Make MLM a part of your business. Not the sole reason it exists.

Solution: Expand your business into other areas. Not just MLM.

4. Not Being Personal

MLM takes time, money, more time and more money to develop. As does any profitable business. However, in the day of emails, fax machines, web sites, online video, and super technology, it is easier than ever to forget you are working with real live people with real live problems and worries. Adding a personal touch to the process will build your credibility, and build trust with those you plan on working with.

Solution: Add a personal touch and build trust

Not Being Realistic

Technology makes it easier for you to contact more and more people at an ever growing rate. Which leads some people to hype up their claims. Hyped up claims are not always so outragous they instantly appear full of hype. Some of them are subtle, like, "No direct selling." Which seems like a benefit, because people hate to sell. In truth, direct selling is network marketing. You are not as aggressive about it. But you will, and always be selling something to someone.

Soltuion: Be Realistic and understand network marketing is a selling business.

Losing Focus

Losing focus is easy. Thousands of ways to advertise and reach your market exist. Pick 1 or 2 or 3 of them. Not all of them. Focus on what works, and drop what doesn't. If you know it's not working after a few weeks, don't do it anymore. Truly effective advertising works in just a short time. Not 3 years. Save yourself time and money and find an alternate way to reach your market once the way you're using proves itself to be ineffective.

Solution: Focus only on one, two or three advertising strategies at time. And focus on them until they prove to be ineffective.

Becoming a Computer Jocky

A Computer Jocky? What's that? Computer Jocky's are people who sit there in front of their computer and try to work their MLM business completely online. 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. This is just insanity. While the world wide web does offer more affordable ways to reach your market. It isn't the only game in town and placing print ads and sending sales letters to people offline is not only effective, but sometimes more effective.

Solution: Try advertising offline as well to expand your reach.

MLM Opportunity...That can be two words that transform your life forever, or two words that create intense negative emotions in your heart. It is different for many people.

If you are looking for a good or the best MLM Opportunity, and really do not know what to expect or pursue, then this article can help you know what to look for, and what to demand for your future.

It doesn't matter if it is a franchise, retail store, real estate agency, or MLM opportunity, you should embrace and become a part of only what you deem worthy, and demand that your future deserves the best and you will not settle for anything less. There is an MLM Opportunity waiting for you, and it is the one you really want.

But there are some hidden things that you need to look for, and demand from Your MLM opportunity. Not everyone looks at these things, and if they had, they would have had a different outcome in MLM.

Here are 7 hidden things to look for that you MUST HAVE in an MLM Opportunity:

1) MLM Opportunity - Timing.

Timing is everything in an MLM business. You need to make sure that timing is good for the company you are looking for, and timing is good for YOU. Is the company experiencing growth and momentum? Or is it going through a slow time that could slow you down? Is it succeeding in the marketplace, or struggling? There is a growth curve to MLM Opportunities. Where is it along the curve? That will determine a lot of the future potential of rapid growth.

Timing in the marketplace is everything for you. Look at the market trends (anti aging, technology, skin care advancements, legal product improvements, insurance product advancements, weight loss advancements, etc) and see if the mlm company has products that contain ingredients or technology that are being talked about in the media. This alone speaks volumes of where the company is in the timing curve.

And how old is the company? If it is too young, it could fold, and if it is too old, it could be stale, and living on past Successes, not current. But there are some older MLM Opportunities that stay current with their approach to the marketplace. My suggestion is start looking for an MLM Opportunity that is at least 3 years old.

2) MLM Opportunity - Seriousness of Owners.

This is a Million Dollar Question: How serious are the owners about a LONG TERM business? If you are going to build a business for your future, you need to make sure that the owners are as serious about your future as you are. There are some that are not unfortunately.

They may talk about it, but you need to SEE it. They need to make sure they make decisions based on long term growth, not short term profits. This is a key sign to look for. Talk to people and see if they have made any recent changes to the compensation plan, or the requirements to qualify for your check, or consistent changes in product pricing.

If they have, and it is not the first time, beware. They are thinking short term profits. Owners that are serious, have proven to do what they need to do internally, in house first, and only as a last resort take money from the field. And ask around, and even see if you can talk to one of the top earners, or one of the owners themselves.

3) MLM Opportunity - Product Uniqueness.

Does the mlm product you are looking at have a one of a kind reputation? Does it have a unique marketing proposition?

Is it a truly unique product, or honestly, just another "me too" product or product line? Me too products can fade from view in the marketplace quickly in MLM.

Your products MUST be unique, and no other quite like it. Yes, there can be many skin care, weight loss, make up, nutritional products out there, but the product you are considering must have a unique "sizzle" to it that sets it apart. There are many vitamin products, but what does the product have that makes it unique? This is a HUGE test for long term product viability, as well as what the next products will be like.

An MLM opportunity may have products that come across as sleek, sexy, and hot. But if they are not unique, they will have a limited life span in MLM.

4) MLM Opportunity - Idiot Proof Training System.

A good MLM opportunity will have a training system that can be used 24/7 and can train anyone anytime, anywhere. It does not replace the role of the sponsor, but a good training system will train the new distributors quicker, and with more impact.

This is a brutal truth fact: Most sponsors do not train their people. That is just the way it is, and I wish it wasn't like that, but it is. Ask anyone who has been in MLM for a while. They will say the same thing, if they are honest. That is why that a good training system, including training manuals, cds, online training, and live events and conference call training is a must. That gives the new distributors a "menu" to choose from and to start getting their training immediately.

And it must be step by step. If the MLM opportunity has these things, or working on them, that is a great sign that they are serious about their field's success.

5) MLM Opportunity - The Better Business Bureau Factor.

Simply, in a good MLM opportunity, there cannot be a lot of complaints with the BBB. It is that simple. Yes, you will always have disgruntled distributors, that is part of the business. But a lot of complaints from all over on shipping, getting their checks, refunds, products, legal challenges, all must be considered when looking at an MLM opportunity.

Every company I know of that has had massive MLM Success, has had some things against it with the BBB. But they all were minor, and not really of the "you should be concerned" type.

If the complaints are consistent, and current and fresh, then you need to really look into that, as where there is consistent smoke, somewhere there is a fire.

Make sure you do not get burned with that fire.

6) MLM Opportunity - Is the company "product and customer focused?"

Understand this: Without customers, there is no business. Without good products, there are no customers. Without either, there is no use to look any further.

A company MUST be customer and product focused, but business driven. It is the customers and their purchases that create the volume for the MLM company. But it is the distributors driving the message out to the masses that creates the business vehicle. But it ALWAYS needs to revolve around creating a massive customer base, with a great downline helping to build that army.

Check on the MLM opportunity you are looking at, and if they are more business focused, and the products are a mere mention, then you may want to seek an MLM Opportunity somewhere else. Lots of loyal customers create wealth, not one time up front hits of volume, as that eventually goes away.

7) MLM Opportunity - What kind of people does this company attract?

This is HUGE. I have seen so many good companies that have attracted people who want to become scientists, and not distributors. They want to become Ph.Ds, not build a wealth producing business. Some MLM opportunites attract people that are more focused on short term gain, then long term stability. Some companies attract mostly the older crowd. Some network marketing companies attract mostly people under 30.

You MUST have a mix. Not too heavy on either. Why? Overall market viability. Today's MLM opportunites that are going great guns, appear to have a great mix of ages, and the average age is not too young, but yet, not too old. This is a hidden factor that speaks volumes of the MLM opportunity.

Too much youth, or too much grey, will slow any company down over time.

These are 7 Hidden things you MUST HAVE in the best MLM Opportunity. Check them with who you are looking at, and see where they stand, and how they add up.

Yes, these things are what most people do not look for, and my suggestion is you do. They speak volumes about your future with an MLM opportunity.

You will be so glad you did in the long run, with your best MLM Opportunity.

There is a secret MLM company lurking inside every MLM program. The elite few who belong to this secret MLM program are the ones called the heavy hitters of MLM. These top MLM recruiters speak at the huge revival meetings. They have the cars, the big houses, and the big incomes.

These heavy hitter have other heavy hitter friends in the MLM World. These six-figure income earners belong to a secret MLM company. MLM is a business of recruiting.

Some opponents of the MLM industry cite the recruiting requirement as a pyramid scheme. These nay sayers decide that because of this need to recruit to make money that MLM is illegal. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The Multi-level marketing industry is over 60 years old. The industry is responsible for bringing innovative consumer products to the market. Traditionally, these products included nutritional supplement, health product, skin care and products for weight loss. All of these goods are consumable products.

The premise is that consumers will need to purchase these products on an ongoing basis that producing residual income for the distributor.

In recent years, Multi-Level Marketing has gone high tech. There are successful MLM companies that introduced telecommunications products, cell phones. Other successful companies offer e-commerce solutions and web based product.

The transition in the product mix for MLM has not translated to the MLM marketing. Only a handful of MLM participants are enjoying the benefits of this marketplace. MLM advocates are still selling their benefits the old fashioned way. They have not embraced the technology that they are selling.

Unfortunately, the dream of financial independence using MLM methodology does not work for the everyday man or woman. These new recruits do not belong to the secret MLM company. The terrible truth is that many may never realize their dream of owning their own successful home based business.

New members of MLM companies search the Internet for the secret to MLM success. These members try cold calling or distributing posters. A lot of MLM members refuse to cold call. Other new MLM members are tired of cold calling because they are not getting any results.

If these new members could be inducted into the secret MLM company, they could forget about cold calling and that sinking feeling that comes when the prospect doesn't remember signing up on line to talk to you. The truth is they probably did not sign up for anything. You bought a list of leads from a fly by night MLM lead company that just gathers email addresses and telephone numbers to sell to unsuspecting desperate MLM participants.

In the age of technology, you have to utilize the most Innovative tools to build your large downline. Let technology increase your productivity.

If you ignore the technology, your business will remain in negative cash flow. Embrace the technological advances in lead generation systems that will let you take a different approach to downline building.

We all know the Internet is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have an Internet business, you may also find yourself open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You read all the advice on time management. You're told to set regular work hours, make lists and prioritize. Well, if you're like me with a newborn and a toddler, there are no regular working hours. There's no regular anything and your to-do list is probably so huge, you need
another to-do list to remind you to work on your original to-do list. So, what do you do?

Take another look at the to-do list and the deadlines you've set. Use your to-do list as a guideline, not gospel. Is your to-do list filled with things like...

change font-face on all pages
do keyword research for product pages
write one more article for ezine
...ask yourself, "Who is going to notice if I don't do these things?" The answer is, inevitably,"Me". If you constantly find yourself with a to-do list filled with things that your average visitor or customer wouldn't notice, you have three choices:

Allow yourself to feel pressured by these unattainable goals until you finally explode.
If funds permit, hire someone to help you with the tasks you can never seem to get done. Hire a virtual assistant, a web designer, a search engine expert or whatever you need.
If you don't have the funds to hire anyone, then you'll just have to start letting thingsslide. Scrap them altogether or set them aside until you have time. Yes, I'm recommending procrastination.
It's not healthy to spend all your time at a computer and there's only so much one person can do.

Send out your ezine a day or two late. Or send it out with one less article.
Is the font on your website really that important?
The search engines can wait for those keywords until after you've had a good sleep.
If the only person who will notice is you, why are you putting yourself under such pressure?

Remember what your mom used to say? "It's a beautiful day. Go play outside." Now go do it!

Are your prospects not interested in your MLM business? It's not your fault. You just have not found the right prospect yet.

As a Manager at Kennedy Space Center Florida, I worked every day, to help the IAM Union work force improve and engage to make a difference. I knew their pain, because several years earlier, I was an hourly worker, for Space Shuttle Processing. I thought I could make a difference by helping others succeed at their job.

Every morning at 0645 I met with 22 Technicians, scattered around a large table, and described the power that they had to make a difference and help us improve our processes. It soon became clear that these Technicians were content with the status quo and did not intend to change.

I have other similar examples to explain why MLM is a very compelling industry for me. MLM business building is like a natural selection tool for identifying the people that you will work with.

What is a prospect? A prospect is a man or woman that you invited to your first presentation and called you back. The following list of prospects will help you save time and aggravation during the prospecting process.

The Antagonist: Her life objective is to debate what you tell her. She will even argue about time freedom. She thrives on conflict. She will continually question your business and will want to know all of the details about everything. She will waste your time asking questions about non Income Producing Activities (IPA). Caution, do not confuse the antagonist with a prospect who genuinely wants information.

The Great One: He will keep you on the phone as long as you will listen to his past accomplishments. He will try to set up more phone calls with you so he can tell you more about his past accomplishments. His objective is to tell you about all of his successes and accomplishments. Do not waste time with this prospect.

Befuddled: He is an introvert. He really does not know why he called you; he is not a good communicator. He does not have a goal or vision of what he wants. Sometimes you have to ask him if he is on the phone. He does not belong in network marketing.

Legend: You will meet numerous legends. He has done 20 deals, and can bring 30,000 people in your down line. He will ask you for a little front money, because his is so good that he thinks you should pay him. He has done it all he can tell you about all of his past experiences. If he was such a legend he would not be talking to you.



Systems Expert: He will listen to your story intently and sound very motivated, but then will shift the focus to internet or lead generation systems because that is what he is selling. If he starts talking about internet and lead generation systems, his objective is to sell you something.

Professor: She will ask you how fast the absorption rate is of your multivitamin. She will want to know how your compensation plan compares with company X and Y's compensation plan. She will have you on the phone for hours asking you for information related to non IPA's.

Chronic: He acts really excited. He calls you regularly and has lots of questions, but always has one more question before she will join. He may call you for up to a year. After he calls you three times, do not spend any more time with him.

Magician: She appears to be exactly what you are looking for. She is the master of disguise. He will sound very motivated on the phone and she will sign up to work with you. Then, you will never hear from her again.

Surfer: Sits in front of his computer on the internet and surfs websites 10 hours a day. She will spend all of his time surfing the net looking at different companies, lead generation systems, blogs, etc. that do not contribute to building his business. He is too busy surfing to recruit.

What do all stupid prospects have in common? They will not understand that they get paid for only two IPA's: Promoting their products and promoting their business.

What kind of person are you looking for? You are looking for the Passionately Curious person: He does not argue, he has honest questions, he does not brag, but just wants to know more about your company. He is a very ethical and rational person. He listens intently to you and gets to work. He is ethical, rational, and decent. Passionately Curious person will be in two types of life situations: He will hate his lifestyle or he will be broke. Another name for this person is the rainmaker, because he will make you very rich.

Starting a small business involves many types of decisions, steps and processes. The beginning is a big matter for the entrepreneur. You have to perform different activities to find out what you will be doing, when you will do it, and how you will do it.

You have to find answer to many questions. You will have different operations to perform like selecting the business, the industry, ownership form, finance, business plan, tax related issues, business process, site selection, licenses, registration and so on. The list is very big.

You have to not only perform these; but have to perform them fine. You have to prioritize the activities and perform them accordingly. For an inexperienced entrepreneur, the tasks become more needed.

Starting a small business may be divided into two stages: one is pre-startup stage, and the other is post startup stage.

Pre-startup Stage:
This stage is actually a planning stage. You have to plan your activities and act accordingly. This stage is very crucial as you plan out your whole business here only.

In this stage you will decide about the idea of business. The idea development will take sometime. Idea generation depends on many factors like your exposure, background, family, education, psychological state, prior experience, cultural background etc. Business ideas will vary from person to person. Your previous experiences will decide what you will do.

After you decide the idea, you will have to prepare a business plan. A business plan contains everything about the business idea like idea, market, process of producing or developing it, finance needed and finance sources, financial projection etc. You can make it yourself or you can delegate it to experts.
You have to arrange for the finance for your small business in this stage. Finance source may be different for you. You have to complete the entire certificate and license related works. You will need to find out the location and start the structure for future processing.

Post startup stage:
This is the implementation of the idea and plans. The entire plan that you have for your small business is to be done practically.

You have to mage the business in this stage. Already you have started the small business. Now you have to manage it daily. You have to mange the customer related issues, employee related issues, inventory and supply chain related issues, and production related issues.

Starting a small business can happen in three ways. You can start a new business, you can acquire already existing business, or you can start a franchisee of a reputed organization.

Starting a New Business:
You will start a new enterprise from scratch. This is a long term process and is really tough. You have to start and build all the systems in a business.

Acquiring a existing business:
If you want to acquire an already existing business, then it is a little easier for you than starting a new business. Here you get some of the systems of the business pre built. This will help you to start the business fast. You can select a business that you want to start. You can design it accordingly after you take it over. You will get customers existing already.

Franchising:
You can start a franchise, if you like to. Franchise business has many advantages. You do not have to build it up for is already built. You get the brand image facilities, the name, and support from the brand or the franchisor, and get marketing support. You do not have to think about the inventory, supply chain, marketing, advertising, and brand building. So, you can start a profitable business from the start.

It seems that many people these days find it easy to tell lies in order to get themselves ahead. Research any business opportunity and you'll find what I am saying to be true. Several people making income claims that they have no proof to back up. My favorite is pictures of cars and houses, as though those items can help a potential member achieve anything. But yet, people seem to be attracted to "shiny" things, so those using these tactics tend to end up making a good amount of money.

The formula for success for these scam artists appears to be quite shameful to me. Step one, make up lies about the income you are making. Step two, claim to be the top income earner even though you just joined the company. Step three, prey upon those seeking the true dream of wealth and leave them high and dry because you can't teach them to lie to others as you just did. Sickening.

As the popularity of these programs increase, these fakers seem to be popping up everywhere. I actually had someone send me an email stating that they made four $1000 commissions in one day - and this was BEFORE the $1000 product was even available! Pathetic!

Fortunately, if you do your due diligence, you will be able to find the true leaders of the company who got there ethically and with their integrity intact.

How do you do this? Here are a few steps you can take no matter what company you are researching. First, follow the direction of the company owner. For example, company owners sometimes choose to interview a select group of individuals, and they would not have done so if these people were not legitimate. Joining these individuals, or their members should be a safe bet. Second, if someone is claiming to make a certain amount of income, simply ask them for proof. It is simple quite for someone really making decent income to provide some form of proof for you. Third, make sure the person you join will be able to plug you into some type of system that will give you a chance to have similar success to them. Training calls, opportunity calls, and proven marketing tips all lead to having a successful system. If you find a team that makes up a majority of the company's sales, you know you've found a great system. Lastly, make sure your sponsor will be available for help. If you are contacting them for information and they take more than 24 hours to get in touch with you, what will it be like once they already have your money?

Follow this advice, and you will avoid many of the pitfalls of internet marketing. The sponsor you choose can be the difference between making retirement income and having to get a second job to make up for wasted money.

Focus on Your Target Market (this term is not taught in most network marketing training).

A target market is a term that is not used in the network marketing industry. Multi-level marketing is viewed as a business that is attractive to anyone seeking to work from home, establish residual income and become rich. The whole World is considered the market of most MLM companies.

However there is no shortage of the number of people who do want the MLM opportunity.

The old concept that anybody and everybody wants to be part of your downline is dead. The new concept involves niche marketing.

Have you ever failed at something in your life? I'll bet that you have. All of us have and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Failing is perfectly normal.

Many of us went to school and were actually punished for making mistakes. Now you may find it hard to believe, but it really is impossible to succeed unless you have first failed. That is, as long as you are willing to learn from your mistakes.

You see, if you try to do something and it doesn't turn out as you'd expected, you've still succeeded. You've successfully learned that what you did was not the way to get what it was that you were after.

Failing, in and of itself, is an integral part of the learning process that we, as human beings, must go through in order to advance ourselves in life. The challenge isn't in the process of failing, or making a mistake, it's in how we were trained to respond to our mistakes.

Most people will try anything once. If they fail, they will likely never try again. Or, if they do try again, they won't let anybody know about it!

Many of the most successful people in our society today have failed many more times than they have succeeded. The only difference between them and you is that they kept at it until they found a way to make it work.

It is said that Thomas Edison "failed" at his attempts to invent the light bulb over 10,000 times. When he was asked how he kept going, he simply believed that what he had in fact done was discover 10,000 ways NOT to invent the light bulb!

He never looked upon any of his attempts as failures. Instead, he saw them as a chance to learn and today you and I can sit by a lamp and read this article because of this man's belief in success and his not believing in failure!

One thing you can do right now to begin moving yourself more in the direction that you want to go is begin looking ever action you take, every move you make as having no other possible outcome than being successful.

Did you get that? Think of EVERY action you take, every move you make, every phone call you make as a success, no matter what the outcome!

You will always succeed at producing some sort of result. It may not be exactly what you had in mind, but you will ALWAYS succeed at producing some sort of result.

Thomas Edison looked at every attempt to invent the light bulb as a success, even though he did not achieve what he had set out to accomplish. Think about it.

Had he considered his every attempt a failure, how many failures do you think he would have endured before he would have quit? My guess is that you'd be sitting in the dark right now if he had.

I believe that the only failure in life is the failure to take action. If you do nothing, nothing will happen. If you do something, anything at all, you will succeed in producing a result. In other words, you will create success in your life.

What if you created success in your life every single day? How would you feel?

What if you learned that success is yours to be had each and every day, and that with each little success you knew that you were one step closer to an even bigger success. Would you stick to it? Would you build on each day with more and more passion for what you do?

Would you soon be living the life of your dreams? You bet you would. And, you can, if you will simply give this some thought and then take action and begin looking not to your failures, but to every success you create each and every day of your life.

So from this point forward, set yourself on a new course. A course for success in all that you do. Look to your actions as successes, learn from every action you take and keep on taking action until you get to where you want to be in life.

The formula is simple, and the results will literally blow you away once you begin to apply this new thinking to your life.

Start with your web site. Is your web site a success? For some people, the fact that you have one at all is a success! Do you get the kind of traffic and sales that you really want from your web site?

What if you knew the most effective ways to bring more traffic to your web site? Would you jump at the chance to own this information so that you could apply it now and use this information for the rest of your life?

Today I know how to promote a web site to millions on a shoestring budget because I have worked at it for years. I was up late at night for thousands of nights. I tested this, and tried that. And I never looked at the things that didn't work as failures. Instead, I learned from each strategy that I tried and today I can stand before you as one of the top Internet Marketing minds of our time!

Now if I told you that this information, when applied to your business, would help you double, triple, or even quadruple your profits in the next 12 months, how much would you invest to get your hands on it? I'll bet you'd pay thousands of dollars for it! Yet you could get it for much less than that.

You know that you can learn from your mistakes, but did you know that you can also learn from other people's mistakes? I've learned Internet marketing the hard way... I've been doing it since 1984. I made mistakes, I've lost money, and I learned from each and every one of my mistakes so that now I make a lot of money on the Internet.

I am one of the top marketers on the Internet. Clearly 100% of my clients make money on the Internet because of the mistakes I've made over the course of my career. I simply turned my mistakes into success and kept on going until I got to where I wanted to be.

You can do exactly the same thing that I have done, or you can take the shortcut and learn from my mistakes. You see, there are masters in every field. Most of them have books, tapes, or articles on what they did to get to where they are today. Get your hands on that material and learn from it. It is the shortest distance between you and your dreams.

Big Why: The most important key to your Home Based Business success is your big why. You must have a reason to start your Home Based Business that is bigger than yourself. It could be to quit your Job. It could be to spend more time with your family and help your children. It could be to start a Humane Society store. Your why is the most important because having a big why will automatically ensure that you have continued dedication, a never give up attitude, a positive attitude, and you will have the motivation to continue to learn. A big why will ensure that you continue to work, even during difficult times. A big WHY ensures that you DO NOT give up.

Mentor: The best way to succeed at anything is to find someone who knows how to do it and learn from them. Whenever I want to learn about something, I read as much as I can about it and I find the most experienced person I can find to lean from. This is exactly what I did when I started my Home Based Business.

You must have an outlook that will allow you to listen to your mentors and learn from them. Remember they have probably tried everything that you are already thinking. Do not go off on a different path than what your mentor is guiding you down. If you try something different, you should talk it over with your mentor.

Highly experienced people know things that you can not write down in a book.

A good example of this is my experience as a Space Shuttle Inspector. All of my classroom training did not prepare me for what it is like to work with people and make decisions about space flight hardware that could impact a mission and impact the safety of the crew.

Belief: Starting a home based business takes effort, but with a big why, a good mentor, and the belief that what your are doing does something good for this world, you can succeed.

If you are joining a work at home company, you must believe in the company that you are promoting.

Belief starts with the company. It is much easier to believe in a company that has a long track record and a solid reputation than believe in a start up. How do you gain belief in a home based business company? Get involved and learn about the company. Start using the company's products. Learn what the company stands for. Is the company just about making lot of money? Does the company have a bigger reason for its existence? What is the company's big why? The answers to those questions will help you choose a successful company.

Everybody wants to work from home. We are all aware of the benefits of working from home. Work at your leisure, do what you enjoy and earn money in the bargain. Who would not like this luxury. But with the mad rush for people to work from home, scamsters seem to be making a quick buck and many people have fallen prey to them. The following are a few scams one needs to be careful about before engaging in work at home opportunities.

Envelope Stuffing Scams

This is possibly the most infamous. You are required to stuff envelopes which the company sends you after you have paid a fee with a promise that you will be paid for every envelope you stuff. The problem is you never get paid and you lose the money you have invested in buying the envelopes.

Data Entry Scams

You see many advertisements promising you instant wealth just typing from home. But what do most of them turn out to be? Well, typing Google adwords as prescribed by the company, pay for the keywords that are suggested by them and simply advertise for " Data Entry " jobs which leads the customer to their site. In other words all you are doing typing Google Adwords using your money for advertising their site and getting a small commission in the bargain. More often than not you end up burning a hole in your pocket with Google Adwords as we all know it does not come cheap. You could do this on your own with a Clickbank and Google Adwords account and don't need to pay money to do it.

Call 1-900 Scam

You would have to call a 1-900 number to get more details on a home business opportunity or a work from home job. These numbers are not toll free. So you pay for the call and end up getting information which is of no use to you.

Sending E-mail Scam

You are promised income by just sending e-mails. For this you have to pay the company for the necessary instructions. In return you get a list of e-mail id's to which you have to send e-mails. Here is the catch. You will probably end up spamming people and get penalized in the bargain.

These are just a few scams. There are probably many more on the net. One needs to be careful before spending one's hard earned money. A simple search on Google for Home business scams can give you more information about the scams doing rounds on the net.

You can surf the net to find companies that promise to help you build a downline. Some of the best ones deliver your signups with a smile because they know you will return to purchase these signups month after month. You can direct your new distributors to the same company so that critical mass happens quicker for you and your downline.

As you put together your plan for your MLM business, you must include a system to provide you an unending supply of leads and guaranteed signups. Your path to financial freedom with be a shorter and a lot less frustrating.

You want to join the 1% of MLM members who are successful then you must copy their success. You want to leverage your advertising dollar so that you get a huge return on your investment.

Your system for success will include your website, a combination of lead generating systems which include the following. 1) Google Adwords campaign 2) Guaranteed signups 3) website Lead generation

The final system will be your communication system that allows you to follow up with your new prospect. This stage involves relationship building. When you combine these simple systems you can produce extraordinary results.

The "system" is just so simple. You say the same thing, send the same stuff, and get the same enthusiastic response, every time. Your downline builds smoothly, swiftly, and effortlessly, because the "system" is so effective, and easily duplicatable.

In a perfect world such a system may work. Clearly, this is not a perfect world.

I've found there are six common challenges to many of the "systems" that are in place today.

First, many are designed more to sell tapes, tools, training or lead generation services than to build downlines. Certainly there is a value to these types of products and services, to an extent. I'm by no means anti-tools or anti-training, and I'm certainly not opposed to good lead generation sources. I'm talking about uplines who design systems as for-profit businesses. I think the system should be a break-even venture at best. The idea should be to make it as accessible (affordable) to as many people as possible, for as long as possible, with the reward coming from the resulting increase in downline sales volume.

I've also found many situations where uplines were not using, nor had they ever used, the very system they were pitching to their downline. Often times this would involve the promotion of massive tape or postcard mailings, or cold calling "opportunity seeker" lists. It's no skin of the back of the upline "leader" if his downline were to waste valuable funds on these recruiting methods. Yes, tapes and postcards worked well several years ago for some. That was before the US Postal System became saturated with tapes and postcards as others attempted to duplicate their success. Such systems are based on the "numbers game" theory. Take enough shots and you're bound to hit the target occasionally. However, imagine you're standing in the end zone of a football field and there's an archery target positioned at the other end of the field - and you have to shoot with your eyes closed. Now imagine it costs you a buck an arrow.

Many systems are given the responsibility for huge, fast growth in a leader's organization. They'll claim to have made $10,000 their first month, thanks to their "revolutionary" and of course "duplicatable" system. The income claim may even be true (although still legally suspect, but that's another article). But rarely, if ever, is the "duplicatable" part. What's typically missing from the story is that the person had a substantial downline in a previous company and moved a chunk of it over. Understand, I'm not suggesting there's anything wrong with this, as long as there's full disclosure. If the upline were to openly admit that he made so much so soon because he moved a group over, no problem. Certainly what he did to build that original group may have been honest and duplicatable, but the SPEED and EXTENT to which his downline grew in the new company was absolutely not the responsibility of any system, nor was it duplicatable.

Still others tout the success of their system in generating faster, larger incomes when much, if not most, of that income came from a deal they cut with corporate. Several years ago, while I and a few of my friends were shopping around for a company to join, we were offered a "front line" position to one company and "double the compensation." Every percentage in the plan double it. Yet another offered us a front line position and a gift of almost 2,000 distributors (we eventually joined a company that made no deal). While not rampant, this practice of deal making is certainly not rare. Frankly, I'm not sure I even have a problem with it as long as, again, there is full disclosure. I suppose we all have the right to make the best deal the market will allow for our services, just like any other industry as long as you don't promote your success as being duplicatable, or based on any recruiting or sales system.

Another challenge I find with many systems in use today is that they are based on theory rather than real world experience. They're based on how we WISH things would happen rather than what really happens. For example, the 50 line phone script where you call your friend Bob and ask him if he'd be interested in hearing about an "exciting, ground floor opportunity" or an "revolutionary new product" and Bob, according to the script, enthusiastically responds, "Sure! Tell me about it." As anyone with even a week of practical experience has learned, Bob rarely responds with such unquestioning acceptance of your offer thus making the next 49 lines of the script useless. Or, there are systems where we are suppose to send information packages to folks that include lengthy books, or other elaborate, relatively expensive materials, as if even a few of our prospects are actually going to devour it all before we follow up with them in a few days. Then there's the fantasy land internet recruiting systems where we, allegedly, are going to recruit massive numbers of serious, committed, hard working professional networkers based solely on some enticing verbiage and a few pretty pictures.

Finally, in the vast majority of "duplicatable systems" I've seen (and I've seen many over the last decade of full time research and practice) there's simply no aiming at the target. Like the not-so-exaggerated example I gave to open this article, we are suppose to generate leads from the same sources, say the same scripted pitch when we contact them, then send the same information package in the mail, or direct them to the same internet site or canned phone presentation. Then, when following up, we are programmed, almost robotically, to respond to various common questions and concerns with the same pat, even cliche' answers. Indeed, this very aspect of the system is what makes it so "duplicatable." Yet, one of the most basic, fundamental tenants of sales, at least in every other industry, is to "target" your prospect. Learn a little about therm. Find out what there issues are their wants and needs and address them individually. Such cookie cutter systems fail in this, utterly. Yes, it's true that opening your eyes and aiming at the target does take a little more work, and it is a skill that does improve with experience, but practicing it will cause you to hit the target ten times more often!

Let's dwell on this final point for a moment. Here's a simple, no brainer, qualifying question that we teach as part of our system: "Have you ever been involved in network marketing before?" Since there are only three possible responses to this question, and an obvious follow up question, there is no need for a script here. Your prospect must answer with either: A) No I've never been involved, or; B) Yes, I was once but not anymore, or; C) Yes, I am right now. The follow up to each would be: A) What got you interested now?, or; B) What happened with your last experience?, or; C) Why are you looking for another opportunity? Now you simply sit back, take notes, and listen. Capture sound bites that reveal what the particular issues, concerns, fears, and desires are for this specific prospect. If they answer with B and you discover their previous company was shut down by legal authorities, or simply went bankrupt, rather than giving a predesigned speech about your "highest paying plan" or "life changing products" you might want to focus a little more on company stability. If they answer with C and say they're dissatisfied with their current MLM program due to lack of support, you might want to emphasize your great support system. You will certainly find folks who answer with A only to discover they didn't understand this was network marketing, and they may have some concerns about that. Best you define and defend the MLM concept first before even saying a word about your specific opportunity. You can glean so much valuable information about a prospect from this one simple qualifying question. Yet many systems are completely void of any such information gathering mechanism. They're based on the proverbial "throw the mud against the wall and see what sticks" method. Even when it sticks, it's still mud.

When evaluating a system, ask these questions:

How much profit is build into your training and support tools? There should be very little, and preferable none.

Did those who designed this system use the same system to build their downline? If so, when? What worked just five years ago may not be as effective today.

Did you move a group over from another company? If so, how much does that group account for your current touted income?

Did you make any kind of deal with corporate? Are you receiving any income outside what is normally paid to all other distributors? Also, ask them what level they are to the company. If they are first level, they are either a founding distributor or they cut a deal.

Did ANYONE ever actually use this system to build a substantial, sustained downline? Or, is it based on Pollyannish theory? Note: "Sustained" is a key qualifier to this question. There are many recruitment focused systems that effectively build large downlines but generate little recurrent sales volume, thus are volatile and short lived.

Are any fundamental, time proven sales methods built into the system? Specifically, does it allow for any variance in the presentation or information package? It should.

Please understand, there are many effective, proven systems being taught and practiced throughout network marketing today. As usual, I'm dwelling on the negative because, well, it's my job. I'm here to tell you what you won't hear at a typical opportunity meeting. Bad, or just impotent systems are not the norm, but they are all too common, and you should be aware of not only what to look for, but look out for.

Yes, Leads Are Essential For Your MLM Business To Grow, But At What Cost?

If you'd like to put your business into profit and sustain that profitability, stop buying leads.

You might be advised by your company or by your upline leader to purchase opportunity seeker leads because they are the most responsive to your opportunity, stop that. Nothing can be further from the truth.

Just because you spend $5, $7, or $10 per lead does not mean that it is a quality lead or that this lead is dying to join you in business as it's often portrayed in this industry.

Let's think for a moment as a lead broker.

Your job as a broker is to sell leads; as such you would want to present these leads in the best light possible in terms of the quality, their willingness to start a business, and in terms of their freshness.

If you knew for a fact that these individuals are ready to start a business with credit card in hand, why would you sell these leads to anyone when you know that you can become a distributor and put these eager entrepreneurs right under yourself in you own downline?

This hyped-up concept of a fresh, super-responsive lead is what you as a naive brand new distributor fall for and wind up pouring a large chunk of your budget on. People are not produce and to expect that a lead is going to spoil with time like a grape or a banana is just not accurate, it is more of a justification for the outrageous price these leads are sold for.

So, how do you grow your MLM business?

Growing a network marketing business demands that you learn how to:

1. Find the right leads for your business.
Knowing how and what types of leads to purchase are essential components to bringing your products or your services to the consumer market place. The best leads to buy are the leads that ensure your residual income, you got it, consumer leads, not an opportunity seeker lead.

2. Create the leads yourself.
As you create the leads yourself, you can improve the quality of the lead by tailoring different offers that provide value to your prospects such as a report, access to your newsletter, a demo, special discounts, or the like.

3. Contact your target lead.
Whether you contact your prospects via e-mail or by phone, you need to develop the skills to grab their attention, hold their interest, get them to make a decision, and finally get them to take action on your products or services.

4. Prospect correctly.
The best method to market your products or services is to develop a prospecting script that is natural and centers around the prospect who has the needs, desires, and wants for what you market.

5. Invite the prospect to consume your products.
To get your prospect to exchange his money for the value of the product depends on your ability to demonstrate leadership, be able to overcome his objections, and help him enjoy the benefits your product brings.

6. Follow up on your lead even after he has become a consumer or a downline member.
You should have a proven system that a new distributor can just plug right in. You should be able to show him step by step how to get from point A to Z. You should have a reliable, cost effective way to join you in business. You should be able to show a new business partner how to reach and sustain profitability in his business.

These are pieces that are necessary to systematically grow your MLM business in order to reach success.

If any one of these pieces is missing, you are not capitalizing the way you should and you might spend your business out of existence. That's the biggest problem in the MLM industry. People are not given the proper MLM training as to how to bring a product or a service to the consumer and make the most effective use of leads, so their business is and remains in profit!

For instance, have you ever been shown how to track the cost of acquisition of a lead vs. the time value of this new consumer or business partner that will ensure the profitability of your MLM business? I would venture to say that most probably never, that's not what your MLM company training touches on because if it did, soon its distributors would come to the realization that 95% of them are failing miserably. However, as a business owner, knowing this information is a key component in your business.

Spending money on leads without the proper understanding of what to do once you get them is a sure way for you to join this 95% failure rate so prevalent in network marketing.

Multi-level Marketing (MLM) has a business model that is in a class all by itself. The MLM business model has two very distinct characteristics that no other direct sales business enjoys.

Multi-level marketing is perceived as an anybody, everybody can do this business. As a result, anybody and everybody is seen as a prospect for this busines model. There are no specific qualifications for the person who wants to join the MLM company. There are no qualifications for newest members of an MLM

The MLM industry has the highest failure rate of any other industry. There are over 13 million MLM marketers in the United States alone, according to the DSA. The MLM industry sponsors provide training, workbooks, hotel meeting 3-way calls, and more to provide the tools to success for the new millions of newbies who want a home based business.

The failure rate for this business is estimated at 90%. But everyday thousands of individuals all across the country sign up for the newest, greatest network marketing company.

The compensation plans are great. MLM is described as the last frontier for the "Little Guy" to make it. The products that MLM Companies bring to the market are on the cutting edge of nutritional supplementation. These products are called the sizzle products.

All the books,tapes and meetings are committed to the success of the MLM marketer.

So, what is the problem?

The inherent problem with MLM is that everyone has an upline but not everyone has a downline.

The money is in the downline. The big recruiters have over 5,000 or people in their downlines. They drive the fancy cars and live in the houses on the lake. These millionaires talk to you about living the dream. MLM promises to provide that dream for you.

Look at your downline. How many people do you have? Even if duplication was happening and the 2 get 2 formula works, you would have a total of maybe 15 people? Statistics show that the average person in a MLM or network marketing will recruit only 3 people in their downline.

The old approach to downline building limits your ability to build your downline effectively. The old system taught by Amway distributors is outdated. There is a better way today to build your MLM business. You can build your home based MLM Business faster and easier using the incredible power of the Internet. Even better, you can help your downline repeat your success.

The new multi-level marketing enthusiast is a sophisticated internet user. This internet user wants to know how to make money in a home based business. This person has been looking at opportunities on the Internet and will join yours when it Is presented with professionalism and facts.

The problem with the old approach is you went after your prospect. You begged, pleaded and tried to intimidate the prospect to get them to attend the meetings. You begged the prospect to agree to 3-way call with your upline. Suddenly, your prospect is not answering the telephone. Your prospect is trying to avoid you.

The new approach to MLM downline building is using a system that allows your prospect to come to you. You only speak to qualified, targeted prospects who have requested more information about your company.

You purchase guaranteed signups for your MLM business. Everyday you have new enthusiastic prospect coming to you so you can explain that great compensation plan. The guarateed signups have already qualified themselves for your program. A fully integrated system can provide you with 100 or more guaranteed signups for your business.

Can you say highly qualified, targeted leads, guaranteed signups, guaranteed success?

It seems the network marketing, or MLM, industry has been on the verge of an "explosion" for about as long as, well, there has been a network marketing industry. Certainly there have been growth spurts in popularity over the years, but the business just never really - exploded, at least for any sustained period of time. Even those occasional growth pops were always followed by slumps in the MLM economy. Yet, throughout it's history, even in the midst of those slumps, and especially over the last two decades, many of those who would promote it would tell us that, soon, the network marketing industry is going to, dare i say it again... EXPLODE! Ah, if I only had a dollar for every time I've heard any derivative of the word "explode" as it relates to network marketing I'd be a wealthy man. About as wealthy as I'd be if I got a dollar for every time an MLM distributor used the term "revolutionary," but that's another subject.

The various promoters of this alleged upcoming MLM boom have always had at least one good reason for believing their claim. It wasn't entirely on hype. Nothing more than the monumental and numerous advantages that network marketing offers to those who want to start a home based business certainly should have been reason enough to think that, soon, the masses are going to discover those advantages and flock to MLM en mass. We could surely forgive them for their optimistic delusion.

As history has shown us in many industries, the merits of a product alone won't necessarily sell it. When Ruth Stafford Peale said "find a need and fill it", she was close. Personally, I'd rather find a "want" and fill it. Obviously, people would be more likely to obtain something they want as oppose to need, and they've not flocked to network marketing en mass for no other reason than they simply can't want something they neither understand nor even know exists! There is overwhelming evidence that the reason this industry stands at a little over 7 million distributors is because, for the most part, those 7 million network marketers are all pitching their opportunities - to each other. This has created a great ignorance about network marketing among most Americans. And I use the word "ignorance" deliberately here, which does not mean unintelligent. Ignor-ance means simply, to ignore readily available information. And the vast majority of the U.S. population has, at least up until now, utterly ignored network marketing not only due to a lack of want, but a lack of knowledge as to it's benefits, or that it even exists.

But that is all about to change... forever.

Network marketing is the same as any other business -- to succeed you need a system, and more importantly you need to follow it!

There are many different techniques that successful network marketers have used, and it is tempting to look at another system, think that's far easier, and try to change what you are already doing. A big mistake! Find a system that works and don't let yourself be distracted. When your income is secure then perhaps you can experiment, but even then it could slow your progress.

Information about your product and recommended promotional techniques can be discussed, but the most important benefit of these real life, or virtual, meetings is that they help to keep your attitude about your life and business positive.

A good network marketing company will supply you with a list of recommended books. Some even go so far as to say, "I will not work with you unless you read X, Y, and Z". A good diet of positive and motivational books will build your belief in yourself and your business, and can serve as an alternative or an add-on to your meetings.

Success for a network marketer starts in the mind. More than any other business you need to have a positive attitude. Remember this key point if nothing else. Believe that you will build a business and you are on your way. If you have doubts they will slowly sabotage your success, and this can be amplified if the only people you associate with don't understand what you are doing.

This is the reason that traditional networking companies have opportunity meetings and sizzle sessions. So that you associate with like minded individuals who are positive and goal-oriented, and so that their knowledge and belief rubs off on you. If your company is internet based you will find that they have conference calls, forums and chatrooms to keep people motivated and focused.

Your own mind is the biggest barrier to success in network marketing, and the influence you allow others to have over it. The development of a great communication system with people in your upline and your team is the key to any networking system. You can distribute flyers, business cards and put up notices, but if you don't connect with other people in your business, and maintain a positive attitude your networking business will stagnate.

But if you work hard at improving your attitude, and use the above tools to dispel any doubts you may have you will find that your network marketing business will grow by leaps and bounds. As they say, "it's all in the mind"!

There are proven techniques and advertising "secrets" that can catapult your MLM business to a higher level. The Big Guns use these "secrets" everyday to build huge downlines that represent thousands of dollars per month in income.

The strategies that the heavyhitters use are generic and can be used with any legitimate MLM business opportunity. Generating a constant stream of signups to your MLM program is the key to massive profits. When you are generating massive leads you gain confidence and cash.

When you have a system in place that provides you a constant stream of signups for your program there are some positive result. Some of them are:

1) Take away your fear of picking up the telephone. 2) You can pick and choose the partners for your business. 3) You are no longer a desperate distributor. 4) You can start building huge downlines. 5) You can earn "quit the job" income. 6) You buy back your time so you can concentrate on the leaders. 7) Build an efficient and profitable home based business.

You need to become a marketer. You don't want to create duplication in your downline you want leverage. The solution to create massive income is to use traditional old world marketing techniques not old world recruiting.

There is a huge debate within the Internet marketing community as to whether affiliate marketing is the same as MLM marketing. The short answer is no these two entities are not the same.

There is a huge difference. If you spend 15 minutes with either you will know which camp they are in. The long answer is MLM companies do not teach their recruits how to market their products and services. They encourage their recruits to sell. Since most people hate selling, the failure rate in MLM remains high.

Since the drop out rate for new mlm advocates is high. It is imperative to get them into profit as soon as possible. That list of 100 warm market possibilities will not produce any discernible results except at holidays when everyone tries to avoid you.

Let someone who know what they are doing get you into profit. Outsource your lead generation business as soon as you can. Purchasing guaranteed sign ups to build your MLM downline is simple and effective. Teh process is also very fast.

Your guaranteed signups can increase your downline by 100 new signups per month. You must consider your purchase of leads a business expense. You have to have a budget for advertising. You can use your initial profits to add to your budget for advertising. Once you have your leads system in place, you just rinse and repeat.

Lets take this money machine a step further. Encourage and convince your downline members to follow your lead. if you only have 10 people in your downline and you can convince 5 of them to build their business with guaranteed signups you have increased your income and your downline. If each of the 5 requested 100 guaranteed signups,what affect would that have on your business.

The magic number for your downline is around 1000 because at this point you reach critical mass. This means that your recruiting efforts are on autopilot. Your responsibility is to get your downline to this stage as soon as possible. MLM marketers who use a system that adds downlien members with automatic signups for their business see dramatic results. You can tap into the system to increase your chances of success. When you make thedecision to change your marketing methods from the old concepts to the new you are creating success for yourself and your downline.

The question of whether duplicate content can get you penalized in the search engines -- and how to avoid that if it can -- is a topic of hot debate these days.

Many webmasters live in fear, agonizing over questions like:

- What is duplicate content?

- Why do search engines care about duplicate content?

- Should they worry about duplicate content?

- What can they do to avoid a duplicate content penalty if there is one?

First, understand that there is no clear definition of duplicate content and it is not absolutely clear that there is any such thing as a duplicate content penalty. In general, however, the belief is that repetition of large blocks of the same content (such as an article or syndicated blog post) within either the same domain or across many different domains could trigger a penalty in search engines such as Google.

So why would search engines care about duplicate content?

If you think about how search engines work and how they make their income, the whole topic from their perspective becomes clear. Search engines live or die based on two things:

1. Do search engine users feel like they get the results they are looking for when they search?

2. Do the advertisers (and thus the search engine) make good revenue?

Suppose you publish an article on "How to write a good article." You submit it to all of the popular article directories and within a couple weeks it is published on 300 different websites.

If someone were to then go to Google and search for "how to write a good article," do you think they would feel like Google was producing good results if the first 300 were all links to your article, but just on 300 different sites?

Of course not. In fact, people would probably either complain or stop using Google. And as a side effect, advertisers would start making less revenue and would stop advertising. Then Google would not make money and before long they would have some serious problems.

So it becomes clear why Google, or any search engine, would not want to display many copies of essentially the same content for any given keyword search.

The logical conclusion is that search engines absolutely need to filter out as much duplicate content in the results as possible. If they filter out your website and display someone else's, even though the content is the same, it's going to look as if you were penalized for duplicate content. But actually, they are just trying to deliver the best results.

Many people believe that search engines should give precedence to the original source of the content. But how can Google or any search engine accurately determine which is the original of the content and which is the duplicate? While algorithms can likely make some logical conclusions, the truth is that it is not really possible to determine this every time.

Instead, search engines have to go by things like where the content seems to have first been published, which site is the biggest authority, etc.

This means that if you publish the same article on your site and on 100 sites that are all older and more established, it is likely that it may appear your site was republishing duplicate content, not the other way around.

There is an easy way to avoid this problem. Don't publish the same articles on your website that you submit to the article directories. You can publish variations, but be sure they are significantly enough different that they are unlikely to get your site filtered or penalized due to duplicate content.

Interestingly, this will also work for you in another way. If your articles are published on other sites which then all link to your site, and you don't duplicate any of the content, your site appears to actually be more of an authority site than the sites that are all sharing duplicate content.

And if your site is on the same theme and the article directories link to your website with keyword-rich anchor text, the incoming links will also seem to indicate to the search engines that your site is the authority on that theme. The sites publishing the duplicate content seem less authoritative.

In a similar way, if you syndicate your content, be sure to only syndicate the title and description paragraphs, not the whole article. That way, your site always has even more content on the topic, again making your site seem to be the authority.

This strategy can be far more effective than publishing the articles on your site. In fact, if you have been submitting articles for some time, you may even have seen this happening already.

As you can see, it's not really a question of whether there is a duplicate content penalty or not. Search engines must filter out duplicate content in order to present the best results to their users and maintain advertising revenue.

You can use this to your advantage by being sure that any duplicate content is on other websites that link to yours. Some of those sites will be filtered out of the search engine results and some won't. But they will all point to your site as the actual authority on your keyword-based theme. Do this, and any duplicate content will be your friend rather than your foe.
