Joining the top network marketing companies is no guarantee of success for a number of reasons.

If you are currently exploring the MLM business and trying to decide which of the thousands of network marketing companies to join, then pull up for a minute and listen to what I've got to say.

Let me say I thought long and hard about writing this article because the idea of someone spending a lot of time researching which MLM company they should join made me chuckle.

Why?

Well, with the reputation the industry has developed regarding aggressive recruiting practices anyone looking for a company to join would seem like a fish looking for a net to jump in. Be realistic, how many people have actually found you and begged you to show them the plan?

There are several aspects of the network marketing business which you need to understand before parting with your joining fees. There may be several reasons why a network marketing company is at the top of the tree and it's more than likely they have been around for a long time.

Is this a good recipe to join a company? Should the fact they have been in business for 10, 15 or 20 years be your sole consideration for jumping on board? Not on your life!

You see, network marketing companies are starting up all the time. While many go out of business for various reasons just as many will appear on the horizon. Why do they go out of business? Poor product choice, bad marketing but most of all, lack of capital and a good business plan.

Here's a simple process for deciding which of the top network marketing companies you should consider joining.

1. Look for a company which is showing steady growth in the first five years of operation. Most don't survive this heady period.

2. Look at the companies management team. Are they experienced network marketers with a solid track record in the industry.

3. If possible, try to get a handle on the company's financial situation. Do they have solid financial backing to survive the first few years in business while they are getting established.

4. In my opinion, probably the main consideration and that is what does the company have to offer in the way of products? If they are offering what everyone else is then move on.

Top network marketing companies have the ability to take a product that's already successful and then improve on it, whether it's by adding a new twist to it or making it more effective.

Who else is sick of chasing down prospects and harassing relatives? Learn the 7 great lies of network marketing. Stop wasting time on old school network marketing techniques - find out why 97% of MLM'ers never make any real money: http://breakthrough.the7greatliesofnetworkmarketing.com

Fitness products are the rage today with so many people focusing on wellness issues and weight loss. Now is a fantastic time to take advantage of this growing market. Starting a small business in the fitness products industry requires a little planning, creativity, and hard work.

Why would you want to start a small business in fitness products? The primary reason is that this market is growing by leaps and bounds. More and more consumers are using fitness products in their homes. Additionally, there are many complimentary fitness product items that you can market with your own general products.

Take advantage of affordable books, video tapes, and DVDs about fitness and specific sports when you are starting a small business in fitness products. These are extremely affordable and compliment your mainline products. For example, if you sell Pilates mats to buyers you could also offer Pilate instructional video tapes and DVDs. Customers will be able to see an instructor actually do the exercises and they can follow along on their new Pilates mat that they purchased from you.

Nutritional supplements help to enhance our current everyday diet. Many consumers that are into the fitness rage will purchase nutritional supplements for extra energy or in the hopes of speeding up weight loss. As a new small business owner, you can take advantage of this and offer targeted nutritional supplements to your new customers.

Decide what types of products you will be offering when starting a small business in fitness products. It is also important to determine who your market will be. Will you be selling to spas, resorts, fitness gyms and other places to workout? Will you be marketing to the general public for home fitness equipment?

Find a reputable wholesale dealer. Some wholesale dealers will allow you to put down a deposit on the equipment and make payments monthly until your business is up and running. This will help with the startup costs for the business.

The other option to finance the business is to write out a sound business plan and go to the bank for a small loan. You can then stock your fitness equipment items and the sub-products that you will be marketing to compliment your main line items.

Ecommerce is an excellent choice for starting a small business in fitness products. You can have a professional ecommerce site designed for you. Then you will want to find someone to do some solid promotion of the new site to attract new customers.

If you are going to do ecommerce, it is best to offer low cost items with high-end items. You should also offer light-weight items that will not cost you or the new customers an arm and a leg for shipping. For example, you could sell Pilate workout socks, general workout clothing, or golf club covers. Books, electronic books, videos, and DVDs also sell well on the Internet.

Make sure to let people know when you are starting a new business in fitness products. You can make new customers from friends, family members, and even neighbors. Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool that does not cost a dime.

There are only three types of people in network marketing. Figure them out and save time, hassles and headaches! To have a successful MLM (multi-level marketing) business you will need to filter through the Promise makers and Procrastinators to find your real Players. We'll call them the three P's to make it easy to remember, let's get started.

First you have the super excited, ready to take on the world, heavy hitting LOOSERS! No I'm not being too harsh, that's what they are. All hype, full of promises that they are going to build this thing to the moon with you and then give up before they even get a single sign up or shortly there-after! All talk and no walk. Often times these people underestimate the actual work involved in building a thriving MLM business. All of the sifting through the mines required before you find the gold!

That's what working an MLM business is all about! Sift for gold and when you find it, polish it. You don't go trying to turn a stone into gold by rubbing it hard enough! Same goes for wasting time trying to re-motivate these promising losers once they've hit the highway, off to look for an easier ride.

MLM is a tough business. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar! You've got to have tough skin to handle rejection. Just think how exhausted these gold miners were back in the day. But when they found their gold... OUUUUUUU EEEEE LOOK OUT! They became almost overnight millionaires, and the same is true with MLM. Now thank god we have much more sophisticated sifting tools to help us in our prospecting. It would be like trying to build a downline without harnessing the prospecting power of the Internet! We are really living in an incredible age with all that is at our disposal!

Next in line, the second category of the three types of people in network marketing are the Procrastinators. Usually Procrastinators tend to be our closest friends. We want them in the business so bad we listen to all of their excuses, put off's and "next week"
answers to joining the business. These Procrastinators are always eager to join in the beginning just "not now". Right? Ya, we know all too well the Procrastinators. Undoubtedly next week rolls around and they have another "legitimate reason" or excuse why now isn't the right time either or avoid your calls altogether. The truth is with Procrastinators; it is never the right time!

Don't count your eggs before they're hatched! One good way to get a Procrastinator to move it or loose it and take action is to scare the living ba-jesus outta them. Put the fear of loss into them. Of course you've got to be confident when saying this. You counteract a Procrastinator with this "Boy, are you ever going to kick yourself in the butt. I'm doing this with or without you and you have a chance to grab a top position in my matrix right now. You will forever regret not making the smart decision". Ouch! How would you like hearing that from a good friend? Let me tell you, that little gem of a phrase will help you to separate the Procrastinators from the Players. And all you need on a winning team in a few great Players!

Finally, the last category of the three types of people in network marketing are the Players. The Gold we all hoped we attracted right out the get go when we first built out MLM businesses. It takes a lot of sifting to find these people. But here's the good news you only need a few of them! A few pieces of gold are worth much more than a sack full of rocks!

Players have distinct qualities. They play the game, do the numbers, make the calls, make the sales, and do something when they say they will. They are natural born leaders, people that take the initiative to do things on their own. They have what it takes to stick in the ring and play another round. Players get the work done and stick to their vision. Sure they may have bad days or weeks like the rest of us, however their vision of the future is stronger than defeat. That's why when you find a player, you spend time polishing them, just like the rare gems that they are!

Remember the 80/20 rule. Only 20% of your team will perhaps be Player material. Spend 80% of your time working and helping them get to the next level in the marketing plan. Let the other 80% to the demons with which they allow to infect their minds. The excuses, the "cants", the "it's just not the right timing for me". We've all heard this before, even after people sign up in the business!

Keep one thing straight in your mind. Become fascinated by the people that don't take your incredible opportunity and ride it to the moon with you. Being fascinated saves you a whole lot of frustration too! I hope this article on "The three types of people in network marketing" has armed you with a few more tools to add to your belt in helping you build your MLM Empire.

I can go over all sorts of strategies on how to make money online. I can cover creating niche information products or Adsense or CPA and all sorts of strategies.

A few hours of searching forums and you will be hammered with strategies. The key ingredient to making money online most over look is the basic method of making friends, building relationships and communicating with others. After all you why do you want to be successful online? Does your success mean leaving people you don't like and nurture those relationships with your family at home or just increase your income? What ever your choice is it needs to be about how you want to relate with others.

Building relationships is the foundation on which to build your financial success. One big JV, e-book, list building campaign or product and you are in the game. However, you need to build quality relationships in order to stay with the successful crowd.

You have to develop key skills and learn sound business principles. Do not follow the latest craze into thinking you will make millions overnight. That breeds disappointment, regret and frustration leading you down the wrong path towards the ultimate failure, quitting. Therefore, when you learn quality skills your thoughts change in a positive direction. Learning positive personal development skills is crucial to your financial success.

Listen, financial success does not lay in the methods, strategies or even the technical know how. Financial success is the business principles practiced and the person who practices them correctly. You need to learn the right skills and that comes with growing yourself before you can grow your income. In my personal opinion I really believe that.

What happens is you start to see things differently. You look at success online in a different perspective. You will not see others success as a, what about me concept but a motivational tool you can use to see how their success can benefit you.

Food for thought, why is it that some people have been in this business for years and years and have not made any real financial differences in their lives? Their financial success is reliant on not finding the right "formula" at the right time? I believe, their lack of success stems from not applying themselves. Of course, there is the alternative, others spring-up fast and make money almost instantly. Now you should ask yourself if your financial success is in you. Just remember, financial success is never the strategies.

Sean Burton is an excelling marketer who is showing many that online success is not a myth but a reality. Just doing the basics is not enough you have to take action, the right action in order to succeed. http://www.rightchange4u.com/success-online/

To me, success online can be found in the relationships you build. That is a subject you need to return to consistently. Building relationships on and off-line are necessary because it works to solidify your name with others. The more relationships you have in your specific niche, the more successful you will become. The lack of attention to relationship building holds most marketers back. Therefore, they are not making a commitment to building those successful dreams online.

In general, marketers never follow those practices for relationship building when starting out and consequently are the ones who are not making money. Marketers who are making money do follow a need to build relationships and follow that need very well!

Although, all of the key ingredients must be there, building relationships with other marketers is easy. A top sales letter is crucial with a great product to follow and absolutely an effective affiliate program. Also you must have targeted traffic to view your product. With all of these conditions met you can attract affiliates who will promote your product. If you have to give up most of your revenue to do it, do it.

What if you do not know a successful marketer? Well, then I suggest you spend the next several weeks getting to know someone you buy from and ask to be a JV. This is where your marketing practices and skills require meeting others, and building relationships.

What if you do not want to build relationships? You have to get outside your comfort zone and you have to do the necessary things it takes in order to make a lot of money online, and achieve your dreams. Therefore, you must work on building relationships

Some common questions people have are really just obstacles. Some examples include questions like, What if people do not like me. Well, I mentioned growth right? It is important for people to like you to work on growth. People like doing business with others they like. Read up and study how to get people to like you. I recommend How to Win Friends and Influence people by Dale Carnegie to help you in this area.

For the most part, we are all people just like anyone else. Top marketers have their faults. Some marketers have their disadvantages, issues and problems just like everyone else. In other words, you do not have to be some charismatic Anthony Robbins type person to do business in this industry.

You can just be yourself. Some people will not like you and that is fine. You can not please everyone all of the time. Honestly, who really cares? There are plenty of people who will like you and guess what?

They are most likely just like you. They have the same wants, desires and needs. They are like-minded people. They are interested in the same things you are interested in. Therefore, a pretty good chance exists they will like you, if you let them.

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

If you have an Internet business, or plan to start an online business, then it's important to have a marketing strategy in place to help you beat your marketing competitors.

One of the first and most important aspects of marketing is finding a product that you like and enjoy using. If you are trying to market a product that you don't believe in or use, it will come across to your customer. Pretending you like the product doesn't work either.

Consumers are intelligent and have no problems spotting a phony sales pitch. So if you don't like it, don't try and sell it. But, if you do like it, talking genuinely about your product will go a long way toward making a sale.

Initially, choosing your product may be the hardest part of having a business of your own. You may find that the first product you choose isn't what you thought it would be, or isn't as good as you thought. Don't get discouraged.

Many of today's top Internet marketers started exactly where you are right now. It may take you trying a few products before finding the one that fits. Just don't give up. You will find a product that is perfect for you, and when that happens, it is just a matter of time before you are knocking your marketing competitors away.

Although you need a product you believe in, you do need to take note that the product will not sell itself, it is the marketing that sells the product. You could have the greatest product in the world, but if you can't convince other people that it is you won't be able to compete.

By putting into place successful strategies, you will bring the business to you, instead of you pursuing customers who aren't interested. Become the hunted instead of the hunter. It is important to stop thinking of sales and start thinking about marketing. Without a solid marketing plan in place you won't get the sales you want.

As a marketer it is important to track and test your ads and promotions. Tracking your ads and promotions shows you which ads are working and which ones aren't, therefore allowing you to solely focus on the ones that work. Marketing takes time, in the beginning more than you think, so don't waste your time on ads and promotions that have an unsuccessful track record. You wouldn't put a dead battery in a car hoping that one day it decides to work, so don't do that with your business. Use strategies that have proven to be successful.

One of the most important aspects of any business is good customer service. Make your customers the focal point of your business, because without them you have no business. With so much marketing competition on the Internet today, any lack in your customer service department will send your customers to your competitors. Remember, happy repeat customers mean higher profits.

Here are four proven successful strategies to good customer service.

* Answer each and every email and phone call regardless of how mundane you think the question or reason is. If your customers feel that their complaint or comment is legitimate then it is your job to listen and take what they have to say into consideration.

* Don't make promises you can't keep. This one is pretty self explanatory. There is no exception to this rule. Make a plan, keep your promises.

* Be helpful. Even if there is no immediate profit for you, there may be in the future. The future customer may just need some more information about your product in order to make a more informed decision. Helping equals sales.

* Toss in a bonus. It is a proven fact that people love to get more than they thought they would be getting. So a coupon for a small discount off their next purchase or a little additional information on the product, your customer will appreciate it, remember it and return.

Sometimes it's the smallest things that make the biggest difference.

It is also important to research your competitors and what they are providing. How can you successfully work toward beating your marketing competitors if you aren't familiar with what they are offering to their customers? Take what you see as what your competitors are doing wrong and use it to your advantage.

Article Title: Three Pieces Of Advice That Will Help You With Your Market America Business

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

A majority of network marketing companies like Market America pass off a very dangerous half-truth to their distributors. It goes something like this, "Anyone can do this business!" This idea is also implied in blanket statements like this one, "Make $20,000 a month in just 2 years!" This would lead any potential Market America distributor 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 Market America 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 Market America pumping up their distributors to believe that anyone can immediately jump right into their business and achieve the same results as the mlm gurus. What these Market America 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 moving van and take 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 Market America 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 physical therapist, a policeman, a window washer, 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 Market America 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 Market America they're involved with selling things to people. Network marketing and sales go hand in hand, contrary to what your upline and company might have you 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, Market America 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 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 Market America misleads 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. (Let's not forget about the national conventions too!) 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 Market America leads, or 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 Market America leads, but purchasing them from someone is a really quick way to get started. Good leads are the lifeblood of any successful Market America business, and without them even the best distributors will fail.

Most mlm companies today would have their distributors believe that they're not in the "sales" business. Since most people cringe at the very thought of selling, these companies like Melaleuca sugarcoat the idea for them by saying, "It's not selling, it's sharing!" They make it sound like child's play, you know a cakewalk, something so simple and easy that anyone can do it. This type of thinking has a couple very harsh consequences for Melaleuca distributors.

The first consequence is this. There isn't proper sales training for distributors to begin with. If Melaleuca is preaching that there aren't sales involved with their business, then obviously there isn't a need for any type of real sales skills. As a result, distributors are thrown to the wolves, completely unprepared to market their products and opportunity.

The second consequence is this. Melaleuca distributors are immediately set-up for failure because they're being misled about how easy and simple selling is going to be. When they actually go out and try to sell to their friends or relatives by eagerly sharing with them just how great or exciting their new product or opportunity is, they're going to be in for a nasty reality check. There will no doubt be disappointment and astonishment when they're rejected, because they followed the rules and did everything that their Melaleuca upline and company told them to do.

So why does Melaleuca tell their distributors that selling is going to be easy, that it's only sharing with people and no real sales skills are needed? They sugarcoat this idea because they know that most people really hate to sell. They don't want to see their distributors (and customers) scared away by telling them this one, simple, inconvenient and uncomfortable fact. If you are in network marketing you are in sales!

If you want to be a successful Melaleuca distributor you need to understand this. Selling is not sharing and sharing is not selling. Sharing is what pre-schoolers do. I know what you're thinking right now. "But I thought word of mouth advertising was the most powerful form of advertising out there?" My answer is yes and no. Yes, people's personal recommendations can be very powerful when they don't have a financial interest involved. When potential customers or prospects realize that distributors are making money out of the deal, their guard immediately goes up. Because an incentivized referral is completely different than an unbiased, third party opinion.

If you remember just one thing from this article, please let this next single point be it. To be successful in Melaleuca and network marketing in general, you have to learn effective sales skills and techniques. Realizing this is the first critical step towards retail success with them. You have to understand the sales process and what really motivates people. What makes them get out of bed in the morning? What keeps them awake at night? When it comes to selling, too much attention is paid to the product itself, rather than the customer who is doing the buying. Because chances are your prospect or customer doesn't really care about helping you out, they want to know what's in it for them.

A successful salesman is not the one who has memorized the history of their product and can recite all the ingredients and amazing health benefits. A truly successful salesman is the one who can make the connection between their prospect's true desires and how their product/service will fulfill those desires. Simply being enthusiastic and excited about your Melaleuca product or opportunity isn't going to get the job done. You have to start with your customer first, find out their needs, and then introduce the solution. Good sales always start with putting the customer first.

There's been a trend I've come across of late. Not sure if i'm the only one but this is how it goes. I received an email from someone in Malaysia asking me to join his MLM. Then another 1 from the USA saying join this "MLM now, ride the next big wave."

This gets to me for 1 reason. Why jump ship and encourage others to do the same? If you're a Network Marketer, then stay in your MLM business unless its for some earth shattering reason that you wish to change your business. By having to jump ship and tell everyone this is the opportunity to join, it just tells everyone that you need to be at the top to make money, and that there is no longevity in this business.

Why would any one wish to join network marketing when there is no long term stability and wealth, and in order to make it, we need to jump ship and ride a new wave??

A Primary Network Marketing business should be one that you know you will stay with the product even if the business wasn't there. There are many good products in the market. Shaklee's good, Myhunza's good, GDI is good, just to name a few. So if you're in these businesses, then stay in them. There is no need to quit just because someone asked you to switch.

Products aside, the other important thing is the importance of the team. if you have an up line that is not supportive, it makes things harder, but its not impossible. In other words, for you to succeed, you need to be the sponsor you never had. It also makes you more independent. People who are clingy and needy in this business, or desperate to make a buck online will not succeed at network marketing, whether you're in Success University, GDI, Nuskin, Mary Kay, whichever business you're in, you're going to fail if you don't learn the RIGHT skills to sell the business and products.

In other words, if you're relying on your Warm market, creating a list, calling and speaking to friends to join your business, that's not going to work. People will decide when they're ready to do network marketing. When people feels its their decision rather then succumbing to hard sell tactics, they will be ready and receptive to become MLM leaders. And leaders are those you want on your team.

And there is another trend, this I will write about soon. Meanwhile, stay in your network marketing business and make the magic happen by becoming that sponsor you never had!

MLM and automated prospecting systems. Imagine after all the heart and soul, blood sweat and tears you've poured into building your big dreams MLM business, after following your uplines "EXACT" steps, all of that to find yourself chin deep in more credit card debt than you've ever imagined!

Well it happened to me! If you are new to the industry and reading this don't let it happen to you!

You see most people believe that starting an MLM business takes TIME to "Prime the Pump" so to speak. Wait until the momentum get going- cripes how many times do you need to hear that one! Not with automated prospecting systems.

- Have they got you spending your hard earned cash on dead head leads?
- Frustrated and still beating your ego senseless making cold calls?
- Flabbergasted at why people less capable, talented, smart and less driven than you, make more $$$?

FORGET about buying leads, cold calling, prancing around hotel meetings and anything else your upline tells you works! If it worked so well, you wouldn't be reading this article. Automated prospecting systems save you time, money and a lot of crying in building you downline effectively.

So why do 98% of MLM'ers fail at their home based businesses? Because they're either faking it till they make it bankrupt (like I did, YAP, for over 62,742$ to be exact!!!) and or, overlooking this very CRUCIAL point.

Evaluate the amount of time, effort and $$$ you put into your business to the $$$ rewards and revenues your time, effort and $$$ pays you!

Trust me if it ain't working now it won't 2,3 and even 5 yrs from now! Simple concept right? So why is it so often overlooked?

I like to call it brainwashing- because it is! Newbies in MLM and even seasoned pro's fall for it time and again. Sometimes even skip from one company to the next always searching for the right company, product, comp plan. All wrong!

Look my good friend Karl, forced by his upline to fork over 250$ a crack for "10 SUPER leads" each month. He wound up with over 3000$ in credit card debt without a single rep that signed up! NOT because he was stupid, NOT because he wasn't smart enough to make the big bucks, because he believed in himself and the faulty methods his upline used.

So you ready to find out the dirtiest secret your upline uses to make the big bucks but never told you?

I'll give you a hint, think about it, we live in the information age. So why not use the power of information at the speed of light A.K.A

THE INTERNET- more specifically automated prospecting systems.

Why is it at all the international rally's the BIG FISH dance around on stage discouraging the little fish to using the Internet to help propel their businesses? Easy, they're afraid of filling the pond with too many BIG FISH. Too many BIG FISH = not enough small fish to eat!

Now that is all fear based and absolutely ridiculous thinking if you ask me! Abundance - please there exists plenty out there for everyone. With home-based business being a trillion dollar booming industry, common! Certainly plenty for everyone to chew on!

I know I know, with all that is out there on the Internet, all the different options for making money, how do you choose? That's easy, find the person that's failed the most and still made it to the top! Use their wisdom, blood, sweat and tears before sacrificing your sanity. What do the BIG FISH use, you guessed it, automated prospecting systems.

Imagine this scenario for a minute...Opening your inbox every day to find qualified, interested leads that PAID you to find them!! Sounds too good to be true eh? I'm a Canadian so I can say eh!

Getting paid to find pre-warmed, qualified, eager to join your business leads! NOT paying to get leads. SO not the traditional way to do MLM at all, but there it is. The secret in a nutshell, why the BIG FISH get BIGGER every minute, and why you continue to sink to the bottom of their pond!

BIG FISH are masters of the information age and are using the Internet to propel them to even greater wealth. So now the secret is out about automated prospecting systems. What will you do with it?

Don't make the same mistake I did! There exist much easier, cheaper and time efficient ways to use the power of leverage to build your downline!

A wise investment for anyone serious about building an MLM business to write home about, before it's too late!

Anyone with a business knows just how important a good marketing strategy is in order to making it a success. Like any business, online or off, marketing in multiple venues is extremely important.

If you only use one marketing strategy, you are essentially only targeting one group of people. Why would you do that, when there are so many marketing mediums at your disposal?

Marketing strategies give businesses the greatest opportunities and chances to increase their sales and achieve a competitive advantage over similar businesses.

If your business is done solely on the Internet, it is still in your best interest to use your strategies for marketing offline as well. If you have a product or service to sell, improving your Web presence is a given, but get your name and product seen in as many online areas as you can. If there are a dozen venues where you can put your marketing strategies into play, use them.

You may have the best and most strategic marketing plan for your type of business. However, a great plan is only as good as the person who's marketing it. Your strategies for marketing will be most effective if they are used to their fullest potential. Meaning, any strategy should be integrated with your business goals, policies and tactics.

Every marketing strategy is unique and should be thought of and planned out for the business at hand. You may have witnessed how another company's marketing strategy increased their business and growth, however, what works good for one company could easily be the downfall of another. You may still want to use ideas that you have seen work in the past, and that is fine, but take those ideas and make them mesh with your company, make them work for you.

One of the strategies for marketing that has been proven to work is to have articles written about your products and/or services. You would then have those articles submitted to article submission websites. Articles not only increase your web presence, they also increase the amount of links online that lead back to your website. The more links, what are referred to as "backlinks," you have online the greater the chance that when the major search engines index you, the higher in the rankings you will find website.

Another strategy in marketing you can use to your advantage is learning how to use email marketing effectively. It takes more than just a few minutes to write a professional email, one that won't immediately get deleted or end up in the trash bin. A catchy subject will at least get the email opened; from there it's a bit more difficult to keep your potential customers interested. Any grammatical errors and your business won't be taken seriously. Another email feature you should be using is email responders.

Most people don't spend 24/7 at their computer. By setting up an email responder, your customer will immediately receive a response from your company assuring him/her their email was received and they will be hearing from you soon. Small simple strategies like email marketing and auto responders have worked for many of the top Internet companies and every online business should use them.

Another great strategy for marketing is to dominate your marketing niche with reseller, affiliate and associate programs. Why do you think there are so many affiliate programs available to choose from? It's because they work. If your niche is health products, set up a reseller program so other people can use and sell your products as well. If you want to dominate your niche it will be easier if you're not trying to do it alone. This marketing strategy can take you from driving a Volvo to driving your dream car.

Write and publish online press releases. What better way to get your company heard than to have someone praise your company with words? Words are the most powerful marketing tool at your disposal, so use them and use them often.

And lastly, build yourself a responsive opt-in email list. Spamming is illegal, and the only thing spamming gets you is your email sent to the trash. The people that will agree to receive your emails are the ones that have an interest in your product or service. Opt-in email works to your advantage. If the customers already have an interest it increases your chances of making a sale.

Think about what you want to achieve, follow the marketing tips, and you will be on your way to completing a concrete strategy for marketing that will substantially boost your business.

Is it a better idea to promote the multi level marketing business or your business? This is an area many eager distributors often confuse and the truth is, unless you are promoting yourself and your team's business, you could be harming the growth curve of your business.

It's been said many times...your prospects will join you, not the business opportunity so promoting yourself first and your team second, will benefit your bottom line in the long run.

Too many times distributors spend way too much time talking about a particular company. Remember, you are a marketer in the multi level marketing business. Marketing yourself and your team is your top priority.

Spending hours trying to convince prospects how great a company's products are or how generous the compensation plan will impress for a while but believe me, when someone is looking at your opportunity it will soon wear off. They are talking to you because there must have been something they liked about you.

What am I getting at here? Basically, when you attracted your prospect, he/she more than likely is looking at you as an expert.

Let's take this a step further. What if you actually offered something of value to your prospect from the beginning. For example, you offer them a special report on how to attract prospects to your multi level marketing business. Don't you think that would be impressive?

Okay, it may not impress everyone but you can bet your bottom dollar, if your prospect found the report invaluable they will be interested to learn more. That's what I'm talking about when I say give value. You've just positioned yourself as expert.

This is a far more attractive lure than simply stating what everyone else is about how great the company is and how life changing it's products are. It's just thinking outside the box.

By offering them something of value first you are then in a position to offer them a course of action. You are in a position to direct them to to where you think it would benefit them best. This is more than likely your multi level marketing business.

The best part is, if they don't join your business it really doesn't matter. You have already established yourself as someone they can trust so in most cases, they will be more than happy to remain in your funnel.

So what type of report can you offer? Anything you perceive the prospect will see as value. For example, it could be a report on making money, steps you should take to build lasting wealth, tips on attracting prospects to network marketing.

Remember, the report should be enticing enough and leave a prospect with enough curiosity to want to know more.

Starting a business in the fitness industry can be a profitable and enjoyable endeavor. There are many different types of businesses that you can start in this niche market. You will need to do research and learn about fitness and general wellness to succeed.
Become a Trade Show Vendor:

A trade show vendor is an excellent way to travel and enjoy the fitness industry world. You can merge with a wholesale supplier that will allow you to sell their fitness products at trade shows. Research and find trade shows that are in your local area to set up exhibits. Even though people do not always buy at the trade shows, it is an excellent way to gather contacts and potential customers.

Many trade shows offer free seminars, guest speakers, and other fun activities related to the trade show theme. You not only get to make money with the trade show exhibitions, but you can also learn more about the fitness industry in general by participating in the events.

Become a Fitness Products Reviewer:
Starting a business as a fitness products reviewer is very simple. In fact, it is so simple that many people completely overlook this opportunity. During your spare time, you can read about and even test fitness products. Your next step is to write a review of the product and submit it to online companies that pay people for reviews.

For a good fitness product review, you will want to include average price for the product. What did you like about the product? What did you not like about the product? What were the features of the product? Where do you find the product on the market?

The average review is between 300 to 500 words. If you have a flair for writing and are already in the fitness industry, starting business as a product reviewer is fun and rewarding.

Become a Fitness Products Distributor:
Starting business as a fitness products distributor requires some initial investment for the products. Typically if you are going to be a distributor you can purchase the products at wholesale prices and in bulk quantity.

There are many ways to distribute fitness products. For example, you can join an affiliation program. Another method is to sell fitness products to local gyms in your area. You can even visit spas and resorts to distribute fitness equipment.

You can also join an affiliate program with a reputable company to become a fitness product distributor. You will need to purchase items ahead of time and can make residual income streams if you select several company's affiliation programs.

Starting business in the fitness industry can be extremely profitable. You do not have to limit yourself to strictly one type of business, but you can even do several at a time. For example, you can write product reviews and submit to buyers during the evening hours or on your laptop while you are working as a trade show exhibitor.

As the old saying goes, when starting business for any type of product or information, do not put all your eggs in one basket. You can find many methods for starting businesses in the fitness industry that you can combine until you settle on one or two that are ideal for you.

A 1 step system, if put together correctly, can sky-rocket sales in your business. If you have your own business you know the frustration associated with trying to find interested customers and clients.

I know the frustration you are dealing with, because I've been there too. The sleepless nights spent wondering how in the heck you're going to actually have some sales to help counteract your increasing debt.

You probably have a knot in your stomach too, am I right? Of course I am. You have spent thousands on newspaper ads, going to seminars, and buying a bunch of so-called "leads" from an MLM company.

You thought that may be the last step to success, but you came up empty. The owner of that MLM is probably sitting in a fine restaurant right now, dining on caviar and champagne while laughing at your naivety.

It's okay. They've laughed at me too. Hundreds of times. Because I was truly in your same spot. I quit my corporate job and good salary for this sure-shot business system that I knew would rake in the bucks for me right away.

Well, it didn't work out so well. Instead, I worked as a waiter six nights a week to survive while trying to make a go of my new business. Nothing worked. I even moved to California to learn from a big wig in my network marketing organization.

Came up empty after four months and had nothing but credit card debt to show for it. Even sold my mountain bike(the same one I won two state championships on) for $3,000 to buy advertising. The result of that advertising...nothing.

People didn't want to talk to me because they thought I was just another salesman trying to get my hands into their pockets to steal their hard-earned cash. Looking back, I can understand why they felt that way.

I kept on that way for months, thinking I would never make a profitable business without ripping out all of my hair first.

But then, the answer came to me. I needed to make my leads come to me, instead of the other way around. Once I figured it out, it seemed so simple.

I created a one-step system that captures leads automatically for me. And as we know, leads generate sales when garnered correctly.

Once you think through the one-step system, it will make perfect sense. You wil develop a way of creating and strategizing a marketing plan that will use a variety of tactics to bring the customers to you.

What is my one-step system? And how can leads generate enough sales to make you mountains of money in a relatively short period of time?

Well, it goes back to marketing. I found the right mix of marketing tactics that appealed to my target audience. Once I was able to engage my target audience, I directed them to a website where they could enter their name and e-mail to receive more free information.

This is basically the one-step system. They are engaged to go to your website and in one step; they will enter their name and e-mail.

If they give you their contact information, you know you have an interested customer, and you can correspond and build a relationship with them through e-mail. However, make sure that in each e-mail the person has a chance to unsubscribe from your mailing list. Be legitimate and don't force something at someone if they don't want it. And whatever you send them had better be of great value.

So, in short, the hours upon hours that I spent combing through leads purchased through a lead company were really a waste. I spent too much time spending money on crap instead of spending that time to hone what I was selling.

Now I'm able to use marketing tactics, both online and off, to create demand for my products. Then, in one step, I can obtain users' information quickly and start to build a relationship with them. Oh, and did I mention that I spent about half as much to find new leads than I did when I bought those expensive lists from those lead company crooks?

So, stop being so frustrated! Do as I did and use a 1 step system to capture leads automatically. Leads capture sales, and you won't find an easier way to capture sales than with this 1 step system. Trust me, you and your sanity won't be sorry.

Multi-Level marketing or MLM as we all know, doesn't always have the best of names in the business world. Admittedly some of it is deserved. However, your MLM endeavors need to find a way to make people see that it's above board and financially beneficial to them. Use written reports and articles that can help them see what you do, how you do it and what's in it for you.

Topics

As with any other type of business, you will want to make your topics relevant to the business at hand. Otherwise, the point of writing them is non existent. Provide a service for those who you are trying to draw in. The something for nothing applies here very well. Offer them information or your own experiences about how to gather new leads or how to cold call, and you will find people interested in your methods and willing to come back to read them again or visiting your site in anticipation of the next report or article.

Offer Links to pertinent Materials

Offering further information in the guise of links to items they may find relevant or interesting will gather you more users. If the links come from your site, be certain that they open in a new window to keep them viewing your materials as well as the newly opened window. Losing your visitors to another site that you've linked to isn't an option that you want to entertain.

When you offer your content, gather email addresses. Requesting an email address from the users is a small price to pay for an informational-rich report or newsletter that gives them a lot of content about the very thing they are interested in building. However, selling those email addresses that you've gathered is the most certain way for the word to spread that if they sign up for your newsletter they will gather an inbox full of irrelevant email. Provide assurances that their email remains on the site with you and doesn't go to any other site.

Using your reports to promote yourself as an expert in your field

When your users are accustomed to reading well-researched reports and great materials from your site, they will be tempted to come back time and time again. If that material is also pertinent to what they are trying to accomplish such as learning how to better make cold calls or how to recruit more effectively, they will come back to read all that you have to say. This implies that you should use well-written articles and research your materials so that you do know exactly what you're talking about prior to providing the material for download.

Check your facts, your statistics and make sure that what you write is exactly correct.

Nothing will turn off a site user faster than to read what he/she thinks to be correct information only to find that what you've offered isn't what they need, or worse yet, isn't remotely correct.

If you give statistics, make sure they are absolutely correct and provide the places where you found them so they can double check themselves. Provide your reports on a regular basis such as once a month, once a week, or every two weeks, so that people grow into a habit of coming to visit the site and seeing what you have to offer on a regular basis.

Earn their trust by offering pertinent, timely content designed to do exactly what they need done. Offer some means of interaction so that if there is a question about your report or article, there is a way for you to take those questions and answer them for your website users. Interaction sells both you and your web site.

Providing something for nothing, issuing a report that doesn't ask for a return investment on their part is a means to gather information for your website use and to help yourself to be established firmly in your peers' mind as an expert in the field of MLM marketing. Offering this service on a regular basis will afford you extra traffic to your web site and a good name in the field you are a part of.

Using your knowledge to provide a means for your associates in MLM marketing to gather some knowledge of their own will provide great rewards aside from the traffic and the visits to your web site on a regular basis. A free report generates more than leads. It generates goodwill in the sales community.

Be honest with yourself...if you are currently struggling to build your MLM business and haven't figured it out yet then no amount of MLM success tips are going to take you to the next level.

Why is this? Because it starts with you and unless you want to succeed you are going to be fighting an uphill battle all the way.

If you're reading this you've probably just had "your nose put out of joint" and you're thinking "who is this guy to tell me I don't want to succeed. Of course I want to succeed!"

What sets the high achievers in network marketing apart from the mediocre performers? The answer is simple...the high achievers want it so badly they'll step outside their normal comfort zone and take a risk or two. They're prepared to cop a bruise or two along the way. In other words, they take risks.

One of the biggest drawbacks to people succeeding in network marketing is their lack of success programming. Many of us have been told since we were old enough to listen to take the safe options in life... "don't to this or you'll regret it or you can't do that because are you really good enough?"

Hear statements like that for long enough and you are going to believe them as gospel. For too long, unsuccessful people have been avoiding risk in their lives; no, not the kind of risk that will get you hurt or killed but the risk to take two steps forward in their lives and experience failure.

Did you know there is a statement that says avoiding risk is the biggest risk of all. It's true. How do you expect to make inroads into your path to financial freedom if you don't take a risk and fail once in awhile?

Approaching the business from the point of view of just "dipping your toe in the water" is more or less self defeating. An MLM success tip you should heed right now is most people deep down are afraid to succeed. They're afraid of the change it might bring to their lives or they will have to do things differently which might be an inconvenience.

It all comes down to controlling your fears. The fear of becoming successful. It's one of the best MLM success tips you'll hear. Control your fear and be prepared to risk and fail a little and magical things can happen.

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

When starting your own home-based network marketing business, most people are trained in the traditional model of network marketing. This model involves making a list of 100 friends and family and targeting those people first. The traditional model calls this your "warm market."

The idea is that you are likely to find fast success through targeting people who know you and presumably, trust you. These people, almost purely based upon their trust of you, will not only purchase whatever product or service you are promoting, but will join you in business based almost solely upon your recommendation and involvement. Once they join your business, they will then tap into their warm market and over time, you will have a successful downline that will allow you to earn a large residual income.

Great idea, right?

And for some people, the traditional model works. But not for all of us. In fact, with 97% of the people who start network marketing businesses failing, the truth is that this traditional model doesn't work for the vast majority of people. What is the problem?

Typically it's one of three problems or a combination of these:

1. No desire. Just because you want to run a network marketing business from home doesn't mean your best friend or your cousin does. And simply because your friends and family may love, respect, and trust you, doesn't mean that they will follow you blindly into business just because you did.

2. No money. Let's be honest. Starting and running a network marketing business from home costs money. Even if your network marketing business requires little start-up, there are costs involved with running and promoting a business. Again, just because someone is in your warm market doesn't mean that they necessarily will have the ability to start and maintain a business financially.

3. Skepticism. This one is bigger than you may think. People who know and love you are more likely to trust you and your opinions. But these people are also likely to be incredibly honest about their feelings with you. Your friends and family are more likely to not listen politely while you describe the benefits of your business, but rather are more likely to tell you immediately what they think about your network marketing business, especially if it's negative.

In fact, with these problems, your warm market can turn out to be the coldest market for a new network marketer. And when you're new and are filled with all the hope and enthusiasm in the world, finding out that your warm market is really frigid can, and does, discourage many new network marketers and they end up quitting within their first three months of starting their business. When this happens, it also justifies the skepticism of many members of the former network marketers so-called warm market. In other words, it's a vicious circle that results in a constant flow of people in and out of the network marketing industry and helps to give our business a bad name.

So what is your alternative if you find that your warm market is actually cold? If you don't want to end up in the 97% of those network marketers who quit, here are some suggestions:

1. Take aim. Figure out what is the ideal target is for not only potential business-builders, but also consumers of your product and service. When trying to determine what you target is for business builders, one idea is to look at yourself and figure out why you joined your network business. What made the business attractive to you? What is your own demographic? After you answer these questions, you can start by targeting people who have similar characteristics.

2. Be discriminating. Go ahead and make that list of 100 people, but rather than running blindly down the list, look closely at the list and decide who fits into your target market for business builders. Then look at the list a second time to determine if anyone on the list might be a good fit for your product or service as a consumer as opposed to a business builder.

3. Expand your horizons. The world is a big place! The number of people you've never met far outnumbers the numbers you have met. Many of these people you've never met may be perfect fits for your business. By expanding your horizons outside of your list of 100 people, you'll find a much larger world of people whom may be perfect fits for your business or loyal consumers of your product or service.

4. Put yourself out there. With the internet and email, you can reach a worldwide audience. Market yourself and attract people to you, your business, and your opportunity. How you do this is too detailed for this article, but suffice it to say, that the right website can provide you with people that want to hear about your business opportunity as opposed to people that are listening to your business just because they happen to be your younger sister.

In the end, remember that although people have become successful under the traditional network marketing model, it's just that - a model. It's not the only way to become successful in this business. In fact, it may not be the best way for you. Only you can determine if the temperature of those you know is "warm" or "cold" as it applies to your network marketing business.

Networking is all about being in contact with those important to your business. Networking is necessary to be able to clearly communicate with those that allow your business to work properly. It truly is key to a successful business. There are several tools to help you have a solid business network. There are really two specific areas to focus on when setting up your business network.

Technology is the most helpful part of your business network. Being able to communicate with business partners quickly and efficiently is a must in business. Computer networking is the most popular way to do it all. Email your product provider a shipment order. Fax a receipt to a customer. Set up a business conference online. This is used widely throughout many types of businesses. Also the use of phones has become much more valuable to businesses than ever before.

For contractors and delivery services the use of cellular phones offering walkie-talkie and tracking services has become heavily used. Cellular phones are now mobile offices. You are able to stay in verbal contact with other businesses as well as use Internet services from your phone to look up information or to send quick confirmations to those you are in business with. Technology allows us to be in any part of the world in any location and still be in touch with our business contacts. Making business networking easier than ever before.

Technology has come far for the business network needs but communication skills are a must. If you do not have excellent skills when it comes to personal relations with clients you are destined to struggle and possibly lead your business to failure. You have to have the ability to build strong relationships with those you work with. Have an understanding of people and business. Combine these to create a solid business network foundation.

If you cannot speak to your clients with confidence but at the same time come of as understanding you are doomed to build that connection. You have to balance power and sensitivity. Communication is one of the most important tools in life period. If man can not communicate with one another then no information is ever transferred from one person to another. What good does is if we have something to say but once said no one understands it?

Networking is key because connection and communication is key. They are all joined together to create business success. So no matter the tools used from technology, be it email or the use of a phone you have to be able to converse with those involved in your specific business. Just be sure to speak to those around you with a smile in your voice. You will be sure to make a great connection and create networking success.

The entire point of joining a direct sales opportunity is to gain financial freedom. It's not something you do because you want to lose money. Yet a lot of people - most, in fact, don't do all that well at it and many do lose money.

How do you avoid this?

First you need to realize that direct sales is more than the classic companies such as Avon. It's a great company still, but if they aren't what you want to do, you aren't stuck. You have a wide range of possibilities in direct sales, from the more traditional cosmetics to food to rather more "personal" merchandise.

And of course there are many more possibilities. The wonderful thing about direct sales is that you can find something to sell that you will be absolutely delighted to offer. After all, what's the point of trying to sell something that you don't really want to sell? Makes it too much like a job you hate.

One of the things that people don't always realize about direct sales these days is how it has changed due to the Internet. It's no longer something where your only option is to bug everyone you know to join the opportunity or buy products for you. Your horizons are much broader now.

This also means you have more chances to make mistakes with your direct sales business. More ways to annoy people because you just don't understand the best way to market online. More rules to follow, and make no mistake, many companies have rules about how you can market their opportunities online.

As you venture online, it pays to take some time to learn how to market right for the internet. There are a lot of little details that really matter. Like how do you promote your business on a forum? Done right you will impress people, but all too many do it in ways that are really annoying to the other forum users. Won't build a business that way.

If you want to use a direct sales opportunity to gain your financial freedom, you have to start with research, and lots of it. Research the opportunity. Research marketing ideas. Research your target market.

Are there secrets to doing well in direct sales? Without a doubt. But what works for one person won't for another, because so much depends upon personality. You have to take what works and make it a match for your style. Doing that will help you to have more fun and have a greater chance for success in direct sales.

Attraction marketing is the marketing strategy that can set your business free and take it to a whole new level. No longer will you need to cold call customers and annoy prospects like a sleazy salesman.

Why? Because when you use attraction marketing techniques your customers in your target market will come to you basically begging to buy your product or join your organization. That's right interested customers will automatically be attracted to your business because of your marketing methods.

The law of attraction states, that like attracts like, so what you need to focus on in your marketing is finding customers or prospects that are like you. Why? Well you like whatever product or service you are selling right? So wouldn't other people, that are like you, be attracted to the same thing?

Are you in such an odd niche that you can't go out and find a few hundred people all across the internet who are as interested as you are in your product or service? I'm sure you can, so when you are writing ads and marketing material think of the target market you want to attract first. Then write ads and marketing material tailored directly to their needs, and no one else's.

If you sell golf equipment, for example, run golf ads and put them in places only golfers will read them. This will attract only golfers.

Think of the big corporations that do this 24/7 on television. Why do think there are beer commercials during football games, or perfume ads in Cosmopolitan? How would your marketing work if you tried advertising the perfume you sell during a football game?

Most people, when they start their internet or network marketing business try to market it to everybody, thinking that if their marketing efforts go out to more people they will produce more results. This is a marketing misconception and a huge mistake. You don't need a lot of customers or people in your organization to be successful, you just need to attract the right ones.

This is especially true in network marketing, as I know first hand the frustration of dealing with lazy prospects who expect to get rich quick and usually drop out of the organization after just a couple of months. The thing is, in each of these situations, I attracted these lazy people to my organization because something in my marketing material conveyed that what I do is easy and anyone can do it. That was a big mistake that cost me a lot of time and money.

I see many ads like the ones I used to place all the time, and believe me they do get you phone calls and lots of quick sign-ups, but in the end they just waste your time, energy, and money. These ads are not using attraction marketing and do not produce results or people that last.

This is not what you want for your business. Thankfully at one point I realized that I needed to change my marketing efforts to attract more qualified, targeted people for my organization.

Attraction marketing can bring you huge results if you can use it properly. You need to understand that it is not the quantity of prospects or customers you attract that is important, it is the quality of the prospect and the repeat long-term customer that bring ultimate success to your business.

Try to use attraction marketing techniques in your next advertising campaign and find people just like yourself who will benefit from your product or service. You will be surprised by the long-term results.

How to achieve multi level marketing success has been discussed over and over again and in many cases, those who keep asking this question need to take a long hard look at their own business.

I'll be honest, generally the people who keep asking are those who are hoping there's a big red magic button available that they can simply press and bingo, they've got themselves in a profitable situation.

The truth... if you are not moving ahead in your business then how the heck are you going to help someone else move ahead in theirs. There's a certain level of credibility you need to have with your prospects.

Multi level marketing success revolves around a plan; finding the right vehicle, sensible prospecting methods, focus and discipline and your desired eventual outcome. How is your plan doing?

More importantly, how long have you been working your current plan? If you have been getting spasmodic results or even worse, no results at all, then you need to throw your current plan out the window!

Of all the points mentioned above attached to a plan, the most important one in my book is a sensible prospecting method. Without a continual stream of prospects coming through your funnel it doesn't matter how focussed or determined you are, eventually you'll be defeated.

Without prospects, multi level marketing success is just a pipe dream because if people are not joining your business on a consistent basis, there is no business. Simple as that!

The MLM business has remained the same in principle over the years but the opportunity to market the business has changed. No longer are people restricted to relying on things such as the "3 foot rule" or harassing friends and family to build there business.

The internet has been a huge boost for network marketers and has opened up a whole new world of prospecting opportunities. But guess what? Still distributors struggle to attract the right opportunity seekers to their business.

Buying untargeted leads has become a nightmare to MLM'ers who will spend huge amounts of money on supposedly fresh leads yet endure untold amounts of disappointment and consistent ridicule when they follow up on those leads.

Multi level marketing success revolves around attracting targeted prospects; people actively seeking a business opportunity and who will come looking for you. Until you understand this vital aspect of the MLM business and make it part of your overall plan, you can expect to keep failing over and over again.

The best internet marketing strategies are those which have proven time and time again with many internet marketers to produce results. As with anything else how you use these strategies is important. The strategy itself does not produce results; it is a combination of the marketing method, who you market to, and having the best marketing material that make you successful.

If you want to be successful try to implement as many of these best marketing strategies as you can:

* Pay-per click ads. This is a great marketing strategy that can increase exposure on the internet and advertise to your target market at the same time. Google adwords, Overture, and smaller search engines like Miva all offer pay per click advertising. Please note that before you make an account with one of these search engines you need to learn how to and make sure that your website is properly optimized, this will reduce your expenses, increase your exposure, and give you the best rank within the search engines.

* "Top Sponsor" Ezine Advertisements. There are lots of e-zines all over the internet, covering a wide variety of niche topics that are read by millions of readers. Placing a sponsor ad can dramatically increase your exposure.

* Blogs. Blogs have made some internet marketers millions. However, there is more to this marketing strategy then just setting up a blog and just typing away. Make sure you get educated on how to properly write, monetize, host, and optimize your blog.

* Newspaper classified ads. You might be saying, newspapers aren't on the internet? No they are not, but they are still a great way to advertise your website. There are websites that provide nationwide newspaper advertising distribution, I would recommend these over advertising in just your local paper.

* On-Line Classifieds. There are internet newspapers as well that have on-line classified sections where you can market your business.

* Opt in form on your website. It is crucial in internet marketing that you have an opt in form to capture people's name and e-mail. The only way customers and prospects will trust you and believe in your quality service is if you can correspond with them on a regular basis and start a relationship with them.

* E-Mail. E-mail marketing can produce huge results. You can purchase lists of email addresses at many list rental services. Many of these lists are also targeted. However not all lists are the best one for you, so always test your market, and have a way of tracking results. If the list does not enable you to at least break even on your marketing efforts, then throw it out and get another one.

* The best domain name. This can be crucial to your internet marketing success, so take your time and get it right. Once you establish a customer base it will be hard to change it so make sure it is catchy, easy to spell, short, and easy to say.

* Multiple products or services to market. You are interested in repeat customers, so in order to be successful you need to be able to market people a wide variety of goods and services. How do you get a repeat customer if you only have one item to offer them.

* Direct Mail. Last but not least this is the ancient form of marketing that many internet marketers have forgotten about. However, over time direct mail has proven to be a very consistent internet marketing strategy to send out newsletters and provide info to customers about services on their website. However, get a unique envelope and address each one by hand, that is the only way you can get people to open it.

Implement these best internet marketing strategies into your business and hopefully you can achieve more success with your internet business. Try to use as many of these best strategies as you can because one marketing strategy on its own it not going to make you successful.

Starting business through ecommerce is an excellent way to provide you with additional income when marketing nutritional supplements or wellness products. With the increasing popularity in today's world for online shopping, you can reap the benefits of starting business through ecommerce.

Ecommerce will allow you to reach a global market. Your customers will be from all around the world. In the nutritional supplements and wellness product industry, these types of products are needed by humans in general. Your market is not restricted to just one type of consumer or one geographical region. Starting business through ecommerce will allow you to reach vast numbers of potential buyers for your products.

It can become costly for companies to stock, supply and have employees to keep an offline store open. Additionally, the store is typically not run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and on holidays. Being able to have your business operate all the time will maximize your profit potential.

Starting business through ecommerce allows you to operate an online store without the overhead costs of stocking, employee costs, physical facility costs, and other operational costs. You will find that operating an offline store costs a great deal more than running an ecommerce site.

Ecommerce allows you to save money on mailing and billing. Typically customers will pay for the products immediately. There is no cost for mailing out invoices or sending out notices to collect payment.

In fact, you have fewer product loss potential with ecommerce than with an offline store. There is no way for customers, thieves, or employees to shop-lift your products.

You will enjoy having more inventory control. It will be easier to track what your customers want to purchase at your ecommerce site than with a regular offline store. The majority of the time you can order your inventory from suppliers as the orders come in on your site. This means that you have fewer products in stock that did not sell well. This creates a tremendous money saver for distributors and marketers.

Did you know that many product items can be shipped for free and electronically? An offline store has to have brochures, coupons, advertising flyers, and even business cards printed. These items then have to be placed on a display for customers to pick up or mailed out to a mailing list which costs money for both printing and postage. These same types of items can be sent electronically without printing and shipping costs through an ecommerce site.

With a limited geographical region of an offline store it can be difficult to build your customer base to purchase your products and services. An ecommerce site not only allows you to connect to people on a global level but you can send out electronic re-order forms through email to clients. You can even offer refer friend incentives to increase your customer potential at little cost.

If you have a nutritional supplement that the buyer will take daily and the bottle size is 30 pills, you can send out reminders every 25 days to re-order the supplement. You can also email brochures of complimentary products to encourage further buying from regular customers.

With an offline store you would need to stop with each person that purchases an item and have them fill out a mailing list form. No-one is going to do that or the lines would be a million miles long and customers would become angry to never return again. Each time a customer purchases from your ecommerce store, you automatically have their email address and their shipping address. They didn't mind giving you the information because you need it to ship their product.

Some Internet marketing pros reach a level of success that satisfies their desires, without joining other marketers as a member of a team. These people find what they want through their own efforts and modest income goals. The real heavy hitters reach a level of success that exceeds their wildest dreams (when they first began) because they multiply their mind power through close association with other successful people.

This association is beyond partnership or Joint Venture relationships. It is a harmonious meeting of minds based upon a willingness to share ideas. There's no selfish motive here, beyond enlightened self-interest. Master Mind groups are not "zero-sum" alliances, where each member values his/her association in dollars and cents. Such groups take advantage of the fact that sometimes, the whole is more than the mere sum of the parts.

While it is true that each member must receive a benefit from belonging to such an alliance, the focus of each member is in participation, not immediate rewards. This may sound vague and impractical, but it represents the key to successful participation in such a group. Like many things in life, the only way to understand how this works is to do it. You cannot imagine, in advance, how a new food will taste if you have no experience with it beforehand.

You don't always need to connect with those who are in your particular specialty to develop a good Master Mind group. The perspective and experience of someone who comes from another line of work can often lead to surprising insights and new directions for your thinking. You're more likely to suffer from a lack of new ideas if all your input is from the same type of thinkers, working in the same field. Get some cross-fertilization of ideas from outside your line of work.

The question of leadership is a tricky one with a Master Mind group. Ideally, everyone should be a leader within his or her own area. Within the group itself, the leader may best exert influence over the group as a moderator or nominal chairperson. For the person who starts such an alliance, it may be desirable to rotate the position of leadership, unless or until one person becomes an obvious, unanimous choice.

Harmony and accord are the foundation of a successful Master Mind group. Negative influences and discord have no place in such an endeavor. Nothing will destroy the effectiveness of such an alliance faster than discordant behavior and thinking. Selfish drives and unjust pursuits will not lead to any kind of permanent success. A negative attitude will repel success, and the people needed to build a successful foundation.

Members may disagree as to how things should be done, but the nature of the disagreement should be based on courtesy and patience. It's one thing to disagree about something; quite another to be disagreeable about it, making the conflict personal. Never resort to personal attacks or emotional arguments when disagreeing with a fellow member.

A Master Mind group should meet privately, on a regular basis. Protecting the proceedings from prying eyes helps to concentrate the free flow of ideas and suggestions. Knowing that what you may say will be held confidential will allow you to speak from your heart, knowing that you won't be misconstrued.

Regular, scheduled meetings will develop a bond that will enhance the connection between members. Any regular, repeated action will develop a habit surrounding its performance. The force of habit, applied to creative thinking and action, will produce results far beyond that of occasional, unplanned "brainstorming sessions." Use this power to enhance the effectiveness of your Master Mind pursuit.

Getting up each day at the crack of dawn, sitting in rush hour traffic, listening to your boss take the credit for you work - your job is beginning to feel more and more like a drag each day. If you have been feeling this way lately, then it may be time for a change. So you have a couple of choices - either find a new job or create your own opportunity. For those who decide to explore their entrepreneurial side, network marketing may be just the change you have been craving.

Network marketing, also known as multi-level marketing (MLM), has weathered the changes throughout the years. Now, there are not only opportunities available offline, there are now numerous programs that are available online. So you have many more programs to choose from for your home based network marketing business.

One of the best things about deciding to pursue this type of home based business is the freedom and flexibility it affords you. Being able to work from the comfort of home and choose your own hours is the deciding factor for many in pursuing such a career. One of the next influencing factors for people who choose network marketing is the fact that not only do receive commissions on your initial sales, but in many cases, you also get paid residual income each month that members of your downline participate in the program. You also receive a percentage of sales made by those in your downline.

MLM may seem an attractive choice for some, but they do not really want to be bothered with the face to face sales that many programs require. However, with so many companies offering online programs, you can now choose a network marketing Internet business.

You do not even have to suffer with meeting people face to face any longer. This is wonderful for those who tend to be a bit shy or hesitant about promoting their opportunities, since the anonymity of the Internet seems to give people a bit more courage. Recruiting new prospects is a lot less stressful.

If you are considering network marketing as your home based business, then it is really important that you choose a company that offers a product that you feel comfortable promoting. Enthusiasm is contagious, and if you are excited about your company and product, then your prospective downline members will be also. So, be sure to thoroughly research different opportunities before deciding to settle on one.

This is not a how-to on Internet marketing, writing sales letters that pull like crazy, recruiting 10 reps per hour, event management at hotels, time management, or any sales technique. You will need all of these skills and techniques at some point, but the purpose of this article is to make you aware of the what you will need to learn and be to become successful after you have mastered the basics.

"Your way of being can be more important than what you are doing for your success."
-- Dr. Anthony Cecala, Successful Network Marketer

Internet marketing is one of the most misunderstood aspects of network marketing today, but it represents great opportunity for those that master it. Pay per click, Article Marketing and Blogging are my favorites but of course there are a host of other techniques including but not limited to the following:

* Ezines
* Joint Ventures
* Postcard Mailings
* Magalogs (Catalogs That Look Like Magazines)
* Direct Mail
* Spots In Other People's Catalogs
* Banner Ads
* Radio
* TV
* Press Releases (Online And Off)
* Teleseminars
* Webinars
* Magazines
* Newspaper Classifieds
* Speaking At Seminars
* Inserts In Newspapers, Magazines Or Mail-Order Shipments (This Is Called "Insert Media")
* Viral Marketing
* Social Marketing (Through Sites Like Myspace)
* Linking Strategies
* Free Search Engine Listings
* CPA And CPM Networks
* Forums
* Online Videos
* Cell Phone Ads (Bet You Never Thought Of This One!)
* And The list goes on...

You will have to study these various forms of advertising, but do not spread yourself too thin psychologically or financially. You must pick no more than one or two that fit your personality and budget and leave the others alone while you drill down and really master your chosen advertising techniques.

And yet, this is only a small part of what you will have to learn to really succeed at network marketing. You will need a lot more than great marketing and what you will need are intangible assets that come from inside yourself. Everyone cannot be a success at network marketing. Of course, you know that, right?

Even you, my good reader, may not be able to truly succeed at network marketing. There are certain qualities of BEING that are essential to success even more than what you are DOING. Of course, this presumes you are doing what you need to be doing to succeed such as marketing, follow-up, training and supporting your downline.

But after the basics, to go to the next level, you will need to work on your own habits, attitudes and internal motivations.

So, here are the 6 "magic" words of network marketing success.

1. Ruthlessness

This is a strange word, but the correct one, I believe. It signifies how you must protect and manage your time and attention. Everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, but you cannot afford to waste a single one. These are your most valuable resources. Cut out distractions.

Allocate time for your family and your main obligations. Give your employer the time to which you have agreed. Be on time for work so that you can leave work on time. By leaving work on time you can make appointments to call clients, downline, and still have time for your family. Be jealous of everything you do everyday and ask yourself, "Is this consistent with my family and business priorities and goals?".

2. Congruency

If you do not believe in what you are selling, 100%, you are a liar. It doesn't matter if you are selling cars, insurance, water filters, pills, potions, lotions, or silly putty. If you do this you are lying to your customer, your sponsor, you are lying to your spouse, you are lying to your downline, and worst of all, you are lying to yourself.

To be in congruence means to be in harmony with everything you are doing. It's a crime against yourself and your family to sell something in which you do not have full confidence. Your thoughts and your actions must be in accord. Now this is separate from possibly being lied to by the company or officials of the company.

If, given the information at your disposal, you believe in what you are selling, then you are congruent with your actions and therefore are on track for success.

3. Willingness

Are you willing to do what it takes. Some things are fun and many are not fun. All of these tasks are necessary to your success. Follow-up tasks may not always be fun, but as the network marketing cliche goes, "The fortune is in the Follow-up".

Olympic skaters and swimmers who are in the gym at 4:00am doing the things that others will not so they can have the things that others will not is the purest model. You have to be willing to help, to talk, to do just that much extra. This is a universal to true walk-away residual income success in network marketing.

That kind of success is made of many factors company, compensation, product and market but to a person these ultra-successful entrepreneurs will say that have always been willing to go the extra mile. Now it's your turn. Are you that good?

4. Foolishness

You must be willing to take risks and to seem foolish. You have to take a chance on your 1st or 2nd or 13th presentation being the one of which you are proud. Are you willing to be on stage, in front of 1 person or 20, and say things that may be incorrect?

Remember the old networking chestnut "Ignorance on fire is better than Knowledge on ice" well, I certainly believe that being in motion is more important than having every answer correct. You just have to continue to work on that ignorance even while you are in motion and not use that ignorance or the embarrassment it can cause as an excuse to do nothing. Action is critical.

You must be in motion, somewhat in control, and learning from your mistakes constantly. Be involved constantly on the edge of your competence. You must stretch and learn constantly. Be a fool or do not. Choose.

5. Vigilance

You should constantly be looking for new opportunities. Search the news for articles regarding your marketplace or your company's competitors. Look for new markets and ways of reaching those markets. Use the Internet, Google News Alerts(tm), and any resources you can develop.

Talk to local governmental agencies which oversee your marketplace for new marketing ideas. Do not sit and wait for your company or your upline to open new avenues of marketing or product lines, engage your whole mind. If you want to be successful it might, just might, take all of you. Twenty percent or 75 percent of you may just not be enough. Leave nothing to chance.

6. Courage

Be courageous. Look at what is holding you back. Examine your fears, face them, and challenge yourself to push the envelope, one fear at a time. New actions, new ways of being can make your new life seem disruptive. If you are achieving your goals, your friends and your family may say that you've changed and are no the person you once were. They would be right.

Make those sales calls. Speak to those large groups. Talk to local governmental officials. Discipline and Focus are required. Be demanding of yourself and your team. Ask for commitments from your people and do not accept their limiting beliefs as gospel. Challenge them on why something cannot be done.

You can no longer be just as "nice" as you once were. You have to be direct, to the point, and congruent with your goals. If this means that what others want to do or be is not congruent with the new you, then so be it. You may lose friends and you have to be vigilant to prepare your family for the changes to come, in your schedule, in your attitudes about television and leisure time.

Success cannot be purchased. Success has no price, but success will cost you. Believe that.

It will cost Ruthlessness, Congruency, Willingness, Foolishness, Vigilance and Courage. I guarantee that only six things are required for the most amazing success you can imagine in network marketing, but I can also guarantee you will spend the rest of your life mastering these concepts.

True success in any walk of life is a matter of personal growth. True leadership comes from within, not from without. Look to your daily habits of success and the 6 "magic" words of network marketing success as the truest compass on your journey.

Getting started in Internet and network marketing is easy. Find an opportunity you like and there won't be a shortage of willing distributors ready to sign you up.

However, what happens when you sign up? Given the statistics surrounding internet and network marketing business failure most expect instant success. Guess what? It doesn't happen in the majority of instances.

Up to 90% of people will bail out of an opportunity within the first three months and most of the time, other than the opportunity being a dud, this happens because of a short term mindset and get rich quick mentality.

Okay, this is nothing new and you've heard it all before. So what does it continue to happen on a regular basis? People will keep hearing this as a reason for MLM failure but amazingly many will do it over and over again. Might be time to start shifting the focus to a long term mindset.

Avoiding MLM Failure

Succeeding in network marketing needs a long term mindset. Two of the key ingredients of avoiding MLM failure are:

- finding a company in a strong growth phase with a consumable product people will use over and over again and

- building a strong foundation in your business so it won't collapse around you when you reach a stage when leverage takes effect.

Remember this, unless you have a large team of people who follow you from one opportunity to another, you're going to have to do some work in the first 12-18 months of your business to get it to a reliable income producing phase.

Much of the work you do in the first few months will more than likely produce very little in the way of results but if you have been faithful to your business plan and work the business on a daily basis with smart marketing techniques and prospecting efforts then you will go a long way to avoiding internet and network marketing business failure.

The leverage we all crave and are sold on in network marketing is set up from the start; it just doesn't happen magically. From prospecting to attending regular meetings to being consistent in your business, the leverage happens when you recruit people and teach them a simple marketing plan which is duplicable.

All your prospecting efforts will eventually lead to a stream of passive prospects. Maybe they weren't interested at your initial contact but several months down the track things could change. But only if you have been consistent in your business.

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

In network marketing, there are many types of compensation plans. Unfortunately, many people do not take the time to study the advantages and disadvantages of each plan. Failing to do so can be a costly mistake and result a struggling MLM career. I failed to do this in one company and ended up quitting due to sheer frustration. Now, that I know what to look for, things have gotten much better.

Since you don't want to end up like I was at one point (in the group of quitters), and to avoid wasting your time, effort, and money in a plan that won't work for you, it is vitally important that you take the time to study your plan. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of four primary network marketing compensation plans.

1. Stair step breakaway. The advantage of this compensation plan is that you can go as wide as you want. If you have 50 people, everyone can be placed on your front line. If you have 5 out of the 50 people who are doing well and want to really build, you can build 5 legs underneath them and not really worry about what everyone else is doing.

The disadvantage of this plan is that if you place a heavy hitter under a dud, you won't qualify for your company's bonuses and commissions. Also, the fact that there is a break away component isn't good. For example, if you have 5 legs with 10,000 worth of volume in each leg, when your downline reaches a particular volume, they can break away. Sometimes, this can be as much as 10-12% of your volume. Other times it can mean losing all the volume. This is not a pretty picture is it?

2. Matrix. Matrix's can be 3x5's, 5x7's, 3x9's, etc. For example, if you are in a 3x5 matrix, you can have 3 people on your frontline and can go 5 levels deep. Many times with a matrix, there will be a lot of talk about "spillover" which sounds wonderful to many people.

All the "spillover" talk leads right into the disadvantage of a matrix. You see, all the the "spillover" mumbo jumbo really promotes a welfare mentality. People think they won't have to do any work. As professional network marketers, we know this is not the case! It's not a "sit back and let all the people come sailing in" type of business. You have to build relationships and talk to people.

Another disadvantage of a matrix is that you have to guard your front line posistions very carefully. These posistions are really like gold. If you upline sponsor puts a dud in your frontline due to "spillover" and wants you to build for them because you are an awesome builder, you're toast! Make sure nobody ever does this to you.

Also, it's very likely that you will be able to build deeper than 5 levels. Unfortunately, with a matrix, you won't get paid on volume for the levels that go below our example of 5. This is not a good thing at all!

3.Aussie 2-UP. I'm not sure where the word "aussie" comes from, as this doesn't really have anything to do with Australia. Anyway, in this plan, you would give the first two people you sponsor to your upline. Everyone else you get to keep. The advantage of this type of plan? Hmmmm, let's see. Zero!

Since the industry standard is that most people only sponsor just 2.7 people in their network marketing company, can you imagine having to give them away right from the start?! Ouch! Now, if you are a hard-hitting, sponsor monster who loves to sell big ticket items as promoted by many aussie 2-ups, this is the plan for you. For the rest of us, this just doesn't work.

Keep in mind as well that with aussie 2-ups, there really is no residual income. The day you stop selling is the day your income stops. So, carefully evaluate if this is the type of plan you want to commit to.

4. Binary. This plan promotes two legs. The advantage with this network marketing compensation plan is that it pays on volume and you can build the two legs as long as you want. The disadvantage is that you have to balance both legs and the pay is based on the legs being balanced.

I know you have probably heard people bragging about having thousands of people in their downline with this plan. What they don't tell you is that they are barely making any money because all the people are in the strong leg. They also don't tell you they are struggling to build since they can barely get the weak leg moving. Unbalanced legs equals no money! Keep this in m ind when you look at a binary MLM compensation plan.

As you can see, there are clear advantages and disadvantages with these four networking marketing compensation plans. Now that you know what they are, you can make an informed decision about what type of plan will work best for you.

Have you ever seen someone who constantly struggles? Not just financially, but emotionally, and sometimes physically. Nothing ever goes right in their life. Just ask them; they'll tell you.

If you could look inside this person's head, you'd probably see a mess of self-doubt and vague wishes. They might not even realize that this is the life they created, but if you could go back 6 to 12 months in the past and look at their thoughts, you would see that's exactly what they've done.

As a network marketer, there are many actions you must take to create the reality you choose. Most of these are not easy, but if you can make them into habits, your success as a network marketer is almost guaranteed.

One such action is thinking for yourself. Thinking for yourself means asking questions. Doing things the way you always did means you'll get the same results you've always gotten. Asking questions can signify a departure from old ways that no longer serve their purpose.

Without questioning, you become a robot. You do things just because others tell you to do them. You endure because others say you should. You don't ask yourself, "Is the pain worth the prize?" You never find out if there's a better way to accomplish your goals.

Thinking for yourself also means to always place experience over authority. Nobody, regardless of what they say, can claim to be the ultimate network marketing authority. This is not to say you shouldn't listen to your upline. If you hand out 1,000 flyers, however, and get one call back, don't you think you could spend that time more productively?

When you think for yourself, you must understand people. Your upline might be from a generation where it was OK to approach people in a parking lot to present your business. Maybe they were even successful doing it that way. They're not trying to mislead you, just to teach you the business the way they learned.

Thinking for yourself is not, by any means, the easiest way to do things, but it is always the best. Anyone can follow the crowd and obtain mediocre results. Leaders constantly question their actions, asking themselves if there might be a better way to do things.

We can choose our own thoughts. Regardless of what happens to us on the outside, we control what goes on in our minds. We can choose to be a drone and follow what everyone else is doing, or we can use our minds to break away from the pack and achieve our goals.

As network marketers, we must keep in mind that we are where we are today because of our thoughts. If you find yourself lacking today, go back and examine what your thoughts were yesterday, last month, 6 months ago. Your reality always corresponds with your thoughts.

Because of this, it's vitally important to think constructively. Successful network marketers don't waste time or energy focusing on what might go wrong. They seldom mull over unpleasant encounters, or hold grudges. They constantly ask themselves, "How can I make things better than they are right now?"

If you really want to create you own reality, it's extremely important to know what that reality consists of. What does success mean to you? How will you know when you're there? To know your outcome is one of the most important aspects of creating the life you choose.

This needs to be more than just a vague dream. Just wishing for a big house or a bunch of free time is not enough. A big house to you might not be a big house to Michael Jackson, and people in prison have lots of free time.

This is where goals come into play. Notice I didn't say wishes. Goals imply something needs to be done to achieve an end. Effective goals are specific, never open-ended. You need to have a vivid picture in your mind of where you are going. Without that, how can you get there, and how would you know if you did?

You accomplish goals by working backwards. Say you want $500,000.00 a year in residual income. Breaking that down, ask yourself how much you would need to make in 1 year. What would you need to be doing during that year to achieve that? What would you need to do for the next 6 months? 1 month?

What would you need to do today, right now, to achieve that goal? If you can remember to keep the end in sight, your smaller goals will be easier to accomplish. Never forget why you're prospecting.

The thoughts you think lead you to the actions you take. The actions you take regularly become habits. If you can develop enough constructive habits, no force in the world can stop you from achieving your dreams.

One of the truisms of marketing is that people will tend to work towards the expectations you give them. If you expect them to slack off if you aren't breathing down their necks, they will. If you expect them to go the extra mile to make the whole process work, they will too. This tendency of people to "work towards expectations others have in them" is called the Pygmalion effect, albeit at something of a misnomer.

The original Pygmalion was the King of Cyprus and a gifted sculptor; according to myth, he sculpted out of marble the dream woman for him, the woman who was perfect to his expectations, and in the process, fell in love with a statue. The strength of his devotion, and the power of his love enabled him to beseech Aphrodite to bring the marble statue to life. This story has most famously been re-told as the play My Fair Lady, and it's actually the comment of Liza Doolittle to Mr. Perkins that's most germane to the discussion: She won't be a duchess to Prof. Higgins. She'll just be a Cockney flower girl to him - what makes her a Duchess to others is how they treat her in kind, not her fancy manners and new modes of speech and dress.

This applies to you, and the people who you do network marketing with. They will perform as you expect them to. If you raise your expectations and communicate them fully, you will find that people go to great efforts to meet those expectations. This process of "set an expectation clearly, and expect people to meet it" is one of the core tenets of leadership training taught in all of the Armed Forces, because it is the essence of instilling military discipline. If the expectation is that the men will do their job, no matter what, be it horrible living conditions, be it long periods of hard work with no respite in site, or holding their position with no relief in sight, good leaders will instill that belief, and set that expectation, and get it.

Perhaps the best example of this to be seen in cinema is the "Men Of Harlech" scene in Zulu. With civilians to protect, and a numberless horde ready to kill them, the men of the British Army at Rorke's Drift knew that if any one of them failed to do their duty, far worse things would happen to people they swore to protect, and while tens cannot harrow the hundreds and thousands forever, the expectations of the officers and sergeants at that battle meant that the soldiers filling the ranks would do anything to prevent themselves as being seen as the one guy who let the Lieutenant or Sergeant down, and by doing so, achieved one of the most incredible accomplishments in the field of military arms.

Now, it's one thing to hold hearth and home against a visible and ominous threat, and another to inspire your network marketing signatories to push to greater effort, or, at least, that's the common perception. In reality, motivating your network marketing associates uses the same techniques. You want to inspire them to put that extra effort in, to take that time to be persuasive, to direct traffic to your network, because it's by the aggregate of all of them that success works for everyone, and a money machine is built.

And the secret to this is the Pygmalion effect. Make it abundantly clear what you expect. Address them as a group and make sure that they understand that they're a team. While pressure is sometimes called for, expecting them to rise to the occasion will do far better, and give them an example to aspire to. Expect them to reach the greatness within themselves, and you'll be surprised (and they'll be surprised) at what they can accomplish.

As a therapist, I constantly see people who need to make changes in their lives. Most don't know where to start. They have no idea what impact the thoughts they choose to entertain every day make on their reality. Instead, they choose to blame others for their woes.

Most understand their lives aren't working. Rather than looking for solutions, however, many choose to believe that a vast conspiracy, set in motion by their parents or siblings, their spouse, or their coworkers undermines all they set out to do. They view themselves as small and insignificant.

As a network marketer, it's easy to fall into this type of mindset. You can blame your upline, downline, lead service, or even your company itself. A victim mentality is easy to develop, but it won't bring your goals any closer.

For that, you need more than blame. Simply reacting to life means spinning your wheels, not accepting responsibility for your actions. Your attitude is determined by outside events that happen to you. You're a boat without oars.

Your attitude sets the foundation for your life. It serves as the basis for everything. If you control it, you control your life. Attitude means more than feeling positive on a good day. It's how you choose to look at life. Yes, you read that right. Attitude is a choice.

Put in another way, attitude is what you say when you talk to yourself. Contrary to what most people believe, you can control that voice in your head that makes you angry, hurt, or afraid. You don't have to believe that life is an endless series of heartaches.

If you pay attention to your own self talk, you'll find that it eerily predicts what occurs in your future. What your self talk focused on yesterday, you're probably seeing today. More importantly, what you're telling yourself today, you'll be seeing tomorrow. Are you OK with that?

I've seen countless examples of this. One young lady I knew once bought a car. It was a shiny red Camaro. A nice car for a young, attractive blond college student. Her friends all loved it. All she could say, however, was that she knew it was going to break down.

Even though she had no reason to think that, you could tell she was waiting for the big event. Sure enough, less than a month after she bought it, the transmission failed. All she could say was, "I told you so. This kind of thing always happens to me." And so it did.

If you look for solutions instead of blaming, you can take control of your self talk. Again, this is a choice, and sometimes a difficult one. It's so much easier just to say that God or the Universe has it out for you. So what if your mother didn't tell you she loved you enough? This is today. Stop whining and find your own solutions.

It's also easy to get down on yourself. You will find reasons why you're not good enough, if you look. A wise man once told me that you can find a demon under every rock. You can also find an angel under every rock, if you choose to look for it.

Focus on your strengths. You possess many, even though you might not know it. Think about what makes you unique. What do you do better than most people? Whenever self doubt or negative thinking plague your mind, bring this focus back. With practice, it makes a huge difference in your life.

Think with an open mind. I cannot overstate this point. Where does a closed mind get you? If you think you have all the answers, that means you're unteachable. Being a know-it-all almost guarantees failure. All successful people, without exception, enjoy learning.

Learning keeps you humble. I'm always amazed when I talk to the heavy-hitters in this industry to find out how approachable they are. I mean, they're like rock stars to me, yet when I talk to them, they are the warmest, most unassuming people you could ever meet. That's just one more reason why I love this industry.

Learning also allows us to find solutions to our problems. Know-it-alls already know that the problem is with their boss or upline, anywhere but with them. This creates a dead-end, helpless situation. If the problem's not mine, then I don't have to solve it, do I?

If you find yourself facing a problem, don't run from it. Own it. Ask yourself, "Is there anything I can learn from this?"

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

Two months after graduating from TX A&M, I packed up my old '97 red Chevy truck with everything I owned, hitched up the U-Haul and kissed the folks goodbye. It was a pretty exciting time in my life.

I had been chasing the MLM dream for about 2 years, with nothing to show for it at that point, but I had made up my mind that I was going to make a living as a network marketer. I wanted the money. They lifestyle. The freedom. The chance to say "I told you so" to all of the friends and family who had doubted so far.

And so I pulled onto the hi-way that day and headed for California. That's where my mega successful sponsor lived.

He was awesome. He had made over $50,000 a month in his former company. He was who I wanted to be and had what I wanted to have.

So, one day, I called him up, and said, "Stu, I'm coming out to Cali and I'm going to sit in your office and do whatever I need to do to make this happen."

I had no idea where I was going to live. How I was going to pay my bills, and had yet to recruit a single person or gather a customer into our opportunity.

It didn't matter. I was going to learn from the best, and become the best.

A year from now I'd be making 6-figures and it would be a fantastic story to tell the grand kids one day. So I went to work with my master mentor. I sat with him daily for 1-2 weeks and just listened. Taking in everything I could about how he built his business.

Then I started calling lead lists of opportunity seekers he had purchased for me.
Days and weeks went by with minimal success. 4 months later, I had less than 10 people in my organization and I was out of money.

I was faced with the fact that I was going to have to go home and face my family and friends in defeat, and get a corporate job to pay off the credits cards I had lived on. On one hand I was embarrassed by my failure, but on the other, I was proud that I had the level of desire to take such a gutsy chance so many others would have been unwilling to risk.

But now what?

If I couldn't make it working in the same office as a one of this industry's masters, what the heck was I supposed to do now? And that's when I realized, desire can only take you so far.

It is the most important and critical ingredient that will drive you to your ultimate success, but it still doesn't change the fact the you must express that desire through the application of correct strategies and tactics as you build your business:
* A ground floor opportunity will not make you rich.
* A product will not make you rich.
* A compensation plan will not make you rich.
* Training will not make you rich.
* Your upline sponsor will not make you rich.
* A fancy website, autoresponder, and leads will not make you rich.

One thing, and ONLY one thing, will allow you to use what you've learned, and turn your burning desire into action that will bring you the results you seek:

And that is marketing.

It's your ability to market and promote yourself and your company's product and opportunity that will bring you results. It's your ability to plug your team into a turn-key marketing system that will explode your organization.

There isn't a day that goes by where I don't get an email or phone call from a reader who asks me what they think about "company xyz" and their revolutionary new product.

And my answer is always the same: "Sounds great John, but how are you going to build your business?" And that question is always followed by hesitation and silence.

Are you going to do home meetings and try and get your downline to do the same? Are you going to spend $500 a month on dead-beat and dead-broke leads and then spend the next 6-12 months learning how to become a master sorter and recruiter?

Are you going to make 200 dials a day to genealogy lists to play the "mine is better than yours game," and then try and get your team to do the same?

Are you going to set up a booth at a flea market to peddle your product all the way up to a $20,000/mo income?

You see, unless you learn how to use attraction marketing strategies and tactics those are your options. Period. Doesn't matter what company you are with. Doesn't matter what product you sell.

You either learn how to market and bring your customers to your doorstep automatically 24/7, or you go and do push-and-grunt MLM just like I used to.

What kind of difference does it make?

The old way = 5 Years and $15,000 down the drain. Waiting tables and trying to avoid my friends that came in to eat. Tons of debt. Tons of frustration. No money. No respect, and no downline.

The right way = Hundreds of reps and $250,000 in business in 4 months. New truck. Loaded $61,000 Mercedes convertible. 1.5 acres on a golf course. New freedom. New life.

And you know what the nuttiest part to this whole thing is... The right way, is ten times easier than the old way. No more selling. No more cold calls. No more heavy-handed recruiting. This wasn't luck and it wasn't a miracle.

You can change the way you do business in this industry forever right now. Stop making excuses. Give your burning desire a track to run on.

You want to generate a massive income from the comfort of your home, spend more time with your family, retire early and rich, Right?

I definitely do. I believe that everyone has the right to realize the American dream...

Maybe start your day with a delicious, relaxing breakfast instead of an "eat-on-the-go" meal while you're battling traffic on your morning drive to the office?

Come and go as you please without having a boss on your tail about how long you were gone for lunch or why you can't take vacation that week because that's the week he is taking vacation?

Live a life of luxury and build something that is a real legacy to leave behind?

If you've answered an emphatic "Yes!" to each of these questions so far, then chances are good that you already possess the entrepreneurial mindset required to be successful in a home business venture. But if you've ever had your own business or if you've at least researched business opportunities on the Internet, then chances are also good that you've realized that having characteristics of an entrepreneur are not going to guarantee your success.

Have you ever invested in a small business or purchased some of the many "how-to" products out there only to wind up in a position where you've just invested your hard-earned dollars in something that did not generate the return you were banking on?

Well, there's some Good News and there's some Bad News.

The Bad:

There's a nagging statistic in America that irritatingly points out that 97% of businesses will fail within their first 2 years. And we're talking about 2 years of grueling 80+ hour work weeks, including weekends, barely scraping by to make ends meet, fighting for a shining glimmer of hope not to fall victim to this very statistic.

Out of the 3% that survive their first 2 years, approximately 90% of those businesses will fail to become profitable and will wind up closing their doors, going bankrupt, and then leaving the business owner with a nightmarish load of debt to carry for eternity.

So what's the good news in all this?

The Good:

As best articulated in his phenomenal, inspirational, and very widely read book, "Think and Grow Rich," Napolean Hill points out right up front that successful people all throughout history have shown, through empirical research (Hill spent most of his adult life on research for this book), that there are four things that together creates a monstrous force within a human being to compel him or her to succeed at whatever it is he or she is pursuing in life:

1. Thought - "this" idea that just hits you like a ton of bricks

2. Desire - that burning sensation that no matter what, "this" is it

3. Faith - utmost confidence in yourself that "this" is right

4. Auto Suggestion - continually telling yourself that "this" is going to happen

Altogether (along with a few other very useful concepts), having these four variables working favorably for yourself with a focus on your mission and goals, you are essentially guaranteed to succeed.

So what does this mean for you? Well, if you're still searching for "the right opportunity," then chances are that you haven't yet found a great, legitimate business that offers you a simple and proven path to generating a healthy income from home. In fact, most offers you see on the Web deliver empty promises and over-inflated hype like "Make an easy 6-figure income from home without lifting a finger, sitting around in your underwear while boat loads of money are automatically deposited into your bank account..."

Any savvy business-minded professional should run, and run fast from these types of claims.

So let's consider your options:

1. Create Your Own Product - lots of research, design and legalities to maneuver, investment of your entire savings is required 99.999% of the time or else forget about getting private investors to fund your business idea, hopefully you've assessed the market well enough that people actually buy your product AND that you're business consequently becomes profitable

2. Buy A Franchise - huge initial capital investment, long hours by you personally managing the operation and employees, if done just as the franchisor (essentially, your boss) told you, profits may start trickling in approximately 2-3 years

3. Start An eBay Store Or Your Own eCommerce Web Site - invest in inventory, find products with a high enough margin to be profitable, stock inventory yourself or drop-ship (drop shipping model eats into most of your margin), and then maybe survive all the stiff competition to be a $50-100K per year business (yeah, there are people making tons of money, but they are savvy and have been doing it right and continually perfecting it for years)

4. Get Involved In Network Marketing or Direct Sales (but not multi-level marketing) - limited initial capital investment, products are already packaged, tested and there is a proven market demand, exceptional leverage of your time and money, multiple streams of income so you're not relying on only one source for your family's bread and butter, very few organizations offer true ongoing support to help you build profitable business

I'm a big proponent of the network marketing and direct sales model (but not MLM), for new entrepreneurs who have never had a business of their own, for career changers who want something bigger out of life, to semi-retired folks who have built and sold several businesses over their lifetime. This is arguably the best option of all. Did you know that 95% of all home businesses are usually found in the network marketing or direct sales industry? When you're looking at the direct sales industry, the compensation model is best suited to replace your current full-time or six-figure income when compared to anything else out there. Just food for thought.

Final thought:

Do your due diligence before selecting a home business. You want to find a reputable company that has top-tier products that are standalone (can be placed for sale on a brick-and-mortar store shelf), has an excellent compensation plan, offers a supportive community to help you build your business, and has industry leaders building their businesses with this organization (this shows you that the best of the best are there, which means you probably are selecting a very good organization to work with).

Today many online marketers are flocking towards affiliate programs as a way to make money online without owning a product. Few too many people know that sometimes more money can be made with another type of affiliate marketing which is network marketing. We will look at some of the benefits of a network marketing affiliate program over a regular affiliate program so you can decide which one best suits your needs.

With regular affiliate marketing you basically join a program for free and have the ability to sell a product that is not yours and make a nice commission off it. This is great and can make you a lot of money if you know what your doing but your income eventually gets to a limit because the product is either not in demand anymore or you sales start to drop because of other competitors. Many of today's affiliate programs pay you on sales only, so if your sales stop or slow down you don't get paid or make less money.

Network marketing affiliate programs work similar to affiliate programs but usually have more compensation for their affiliates because your average affiliate program will only pay you for your sales that you make personally or sometimes you might find a two-tier program where you can recruit sub-affiliates under you and make a small percentage of their sale as well, but after that your in the dark and need to keep on promoting to get another check.

With a network marketing affiliate program your income is more residual because you have an infinite line of affiliates under you that have the potential to make you money month after month for their work and sales. As long as you keep focusing on recruiting more people and affiliates your checks will never stop. If you wanted to create endless streams of income with affiliate marketing you have to constantly promote new products and run multiple campaigns at once sometimes in the hundreds just to stay on top of your game.

Most affiliate programs limit you to only a few products, but with some network marketing affiliate programs you have a wide variety of products and services to choose from to make residual income with. Many people who join these programs will go on to be customers for years and buy from you and you will make money everytime they purchase a product. Most affiliate programs are for niche products with a short lifespan and if you don't get in early you won't make real money. A good network marketing company will have lots of high demand products that people will want to buy year after year know matter what.

If you are considering affiliate marketing than a network marketing affiliate program might be something you want to consider to expand your streams of income. In the long run you will make more money and it will be residual. It is much better to do it once and get paid forever than to just get paid once and have to repeat the steps to do it again. Many successful network marketers are enjoying extreme wealth off of simply building huge affiliate teams that generate massive residual income day after day.

You hear it every day, somebody somewhere is preaching the prosperity work at home gospel, it's easy, anybody can do it. Although it is true that anybody really can do it, I promise you it's not easy. Working at home presents several challenges that many people simply cannot conquer. Let me rephrase that, many people simply will not conquer the challenges.

The I'm at home so I can goof off challenge. Isn't it funny how you work harder for somebody else than you do for yourself? When you transition from working in an office environment to working at home many people just can't seem to get on track. Of course they want success, and they expect to be successful, they just can't seem to get started.

When you are at work you are accountable to somebody, and that somebody is usually judging the quality and quantity of your work regularly.

Employers often pay you just enough to keep you, and you typically work just enough to keep your job. Be honest, when the boss isn't around you have a tendency to goof off, or do less than you would otherwise. When you start to work at home there is no boss, so you have a tendency to goof off or do less than you would otherwise!

One of the reasons many people fail to achieve success when they work from home is a lack of accountability. You probably don't want to be held accountable by a boss anymore and that's one of the reasons that you decided to work from home, but a lack of accountability can lead to disaster.

The best thing you can possibly do is hold yourself accountable, but that is easier said than done. Establish a tracking form to keep track of how many hours you actually work your business. I'm not talking about getting ready to get ready, that doesn't count. How much time are you actually working your business? Every person that has ever started working from home has spent a lot of time cleaning off their desk, organizing things and getting ready to get ready.

Those activities won't put money in your pocket, but they will give you a false sense of doing something. Accountability isn't easy, heck it's hard to transition from a job to working from home, but will be worth it. Don't wish it was easy, have a strong desire to become better. Work on yourself, become disciplined.

If you can't or won't hold yourself accountable find somebody who will. Just make sure that the person you choose will lift you up and not tear you down. Working from home is hard enough but if you are around negative people you'll make climbing the mountain to success so much harder than it has to be.

"Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?!" That's the simple question Regis Philbin would ask at the start of every episode of the game show (he's now moved on to his other millionaire ventures). The show quickly became a smash hit from its origin in the UK to the US and instantly around the world. Why?

"Generate Insane Profits on Auto-Pilot & Become an Instant Millionaire While You Sleep!" If you've conducted any online research looking for home business opportunities, you've likely found yourself on dozens of web sites screaming outrageous promises to you of overnight riches and millionaire status. How come?

Because there is a common bond among the vast majority of people that is the "American Dream." This dream has one very simple and consistent component: the relentless pursuit of money. It is this pursuit of riches that makes you want to live in a nice house, with multiple luxury cars, and expensive toys.

This Is Unbelievable! Quick Fact from My Quick and Dirty Google Search

First, before I share my findings with you, let me ask you this: If you have a choice (which you absolutely do) of being a millionaire or a billionaire, which would you choose to be?

So here's what I just did as I was writing this article. I ran two searches. One for the term "millionaire" and one for the term "billionaire." I found it mind boggling that there were roughly 6.76 million search results for "billionaire" compared to a whopping 16 million results for "millionaire!" But after taking a moment to think about why such a discrepancy exists, it all makes sense.

First, there are many more millionaires in the world than there are billionaires. According to Forbes Magazine, as of March 2007, there are 946 billionaires in the world with 178 of them being newcomers. (I did the math for you: the world now has 23% more billionaires than it did a year ago!) And this compares to the 9.5 million millionaires in the world (Merrill Lynch & Cap Gemini, The 2007 Wealth Report).

The second reason this discrepancy makes sense is that there were millionaires in the world way before billionaires existed. Back when having a $100,000 net worth was considered filthy rich, there were very few millionaires relative to today's numbers. For example, in 1900, there were fewer than 5,000 millionaires in the US. Not until inflation and world economic productivity grew to a certain level did we have our first billionaire (John D. Rockefeller became the world's first billionaire in 1916).

Third, it's getting easier and easier to become a millionaire these days. Inflation plays a key role in this. As prices go up, and household income levels go up, it follows that making a million dollars isn't as big of a milestone as it was a hundred years ago. But don't get me wrong, making my first million is probably the most exciting thing to happen in my life!

So let's get back to the question at hand: is it the millionaire income or is it the lifestyle that you're really after? Well, that's entirely based on where you are at this point in your life, where your mindset is, and what you still feel like you haven't yet accomplished. The answer likely surfaces when you ask yourself this question a few times and take the time to write down what it really is that being a millionaire means to you. How will being a millionaire benefit you, make you happy, and relieve all stress and worries?

Take this simple exercise and let's get to the root of it right now. Take 60 seconds to jot down all the ways you would complete this sentence:

"Aah, if I had a million dollars I would..."

Time yourself. Go ahead, I'll still be here. 60 seconds might seem like not enough time, but just do it right now and I'll explain to you why in a minute. :)

Okay, if you have your list, then it's probably short and sweet and primarily comprised of the most important things that you want. And that's precisely why you only had 60 seconds - to make sure you didn't go off naming every make and model of every car you want in your driveway! Now you have a list of those things you consider to be of highest priority.

What you want to do next is, beside every item on your list, put a "$" symbol if that item represents something that requires money and a "*" next to the items that don't. For example, if you wrote "pay off debt," that gets a "$" since you need money to pay off your mortgage, credit card debt, etc. If you wrote something like "spend more time with kids," that gets a "*" because you don't need to write a check to do that.

If you wind up with more $ signs than * symbols, then what you're probably after at this point in time is the millionaire income. If you have more * on your list, then you're more likely in pursuit of the millionaire lifestyle. This is a quick, simple exercise to get you thinking about what you really want, income or lifestyle. You might find that you are balanced and you want a little bit of both. And your mindset will change over time as you get closer to achieving millionaire status, and perhaps decamillionaire status!

You might try this exercise in 12 months and realize that your answers have changed significantly. If they change, analyze the reasons why and make sure that you fell comfortable with those reasons. If they haven't change in a year, you should ask yourself why. There's a good chance you haven't taken any steps toward achieving the goals essential to becoming a millionaire.

Final Thought

If you've ever thought to yourself, "I will never be a millionaire," then it's true. The mind is a powerful thing, and your thoughts are what make or break your reality. If you share the American Dream, then take the time to understand what it is that you're really seeking and why. Then, and only then, will you be in full control of your destiny.

See you at the top!

When most people hear the term "network marketing," they look for a quick way to escape. For too many years, family members and friends have been bombarded by other family members and friends to join them on the great Amway ride to wealth and happiness.

Did the ones trying to recruit end up successful and find their wealth? Most likely they didn't. They had the desire to succeed, but they went about it the wrong way, driving people away from their products rather than pulling them in. A great marketing plan can be the difference between success and failure.

Does network marketing work? Yes, and there are many great marketing techniques you can use to help achieve success.

The first tip -- and the one most people get wrong -- is to assume that everyone will want what you have to sell, which is not true. Thinking this way will waste a lot of time and effort while you try to sell to uninterested people. Think of who your target customers are, and focus your marketing efforts on them.

When trying to build your own MLM downline, don't waste your time on people who sign up but have no motivation or drive to succeed. Focus your attention on the people in your downline who are willing to work and forget the others.

When you receive leads, follow up with them. The majority of people will not buy something the first time they see it. You will encounter impulse buyers, but most often they will need to see it a few times before they decide whether or not it is what they want. Have an auto-responder set up and monthly newsletters, which makes following up a lot easier for you.

Make sure you are keeping up with the times. You need to know what marketing methods work and which ones don't. If you don't enjoy getting calls from telemarketers or having salespeople show up at your door, chances are other people don't either. Research current marketing methods like social book-marking and article marketing and use them.

Like your product. How can you successfully sell a product or business if you yourself don't like it? It is almost impossible and not fair to you. With so many network marketing opportunities available there is no reason you have to be stuck trying to sell products you don't like and don't use.

Ride Internet trends. Blogging has taken on a life of its own online so why not take advantage of it? If you don't have the time or resources to do the blogging yourself, hire someone to do it for you. Blogging will help get your name and business seen. By posting your url each time you blog you are creating back-links to your website, enhancing your Web presence.

Don't be a stranger. Start participating in discussion forums. Find forums that relate to your business. Offer advice, answer questions and post articles.

You will be seen as an expert in your field and as someone who is willing to help. Create a signature that includes your website address, which gives others a way to check out your website.

Your goal as a network marketer is to attract people to your site. It may take a few times before they join but if they only come once chances are you have lost them as a down line prospect.

Create and publish a monthly newsletter that reminds potential clients of your products and any important upcoming events. Eliminate any pushy sales tactics or sales hype with this letter. If you keep the information useful, you will keep them interested.

Being pushy will do just that, push them away, something you want to avoid. On average it takes a website visitor seven visits before they sign up or buy anything. Without a reminder do you think they would visit your website seven times?

Another powerful marketing strategy and a great way to help build your own MLM is to write a press release. A press release gives you the opportunity to provide your story to others. When writing your press release include the who, what, where, when, why and how of your business.

A well-written press release has the capability of creating interest across the internet for a long time. This is one of the most powerful marketing tools you can utilize.

So next time you wonder: Does network marketing work? You will know the answer is yes. Be persistent, have the drive and desire to succeed and use the right marketing techniques, and you may find yourself exactly where you want to be, at the top.

My friend Jason called from San Diego a couple days ago. For some reason, I kept calling him Mark, who is another friend from Sarasota, Florida. The two have never met, and have almost nothing in common. Well, almost nothing.

Jason has no ties. He frequently travels the world, and has called me from Hong Kong, Moscow, and Johannesburg. He owns houses in California, Vancouver, Boulder, and Vermont. He's never been married, and has no plans to wed in the future.

Mark, on the other hand, was born and raised in Sarasota. He married his high school girlfriend. They have 3 kids, a big house, 2 cats, and a dog named Jiminy. To my knowledge, neither he nor his wife have lived outside the state of Florida.

Even though their lifestyles are drastically different, Jason and Mark have been network marketers for a long time. Both are very successful at what they do. When I thought about their common traits, I started to compare them with other successful network marketers I knew.

One such trait all successful marketers share is attitude. Attitude determines your habits, and habits make up who you are. These people possess the attitude that anything is possible. They don't just try to get things done. They do things.

Positive, helpful attitudes attract others to you like a magnet. You've surely met people you feel you could talk to all day. Someone who's uplifting, listens to what you have to say, and never judges. Someone you know is smiling, even when you talk with them on the phone.

Bad attitudes, on the other hand, only attract others with bad attitudes. We've all seen battered women who will leave their abusive husbands and run straight into the arms of another abuser. This cycle never ends until she looks inside and makes some real changes.

In network marketing, once you start gaining some success, others may want to put you on a pedestal. It's important you jump off as quickly as possible. If your downline sees you as flawless or invulnerable, they get afraid.

While on a pedestal, you can't really be yourself. While pretending you're perfect, it's impossible to be authentic. One way to avoid this is to never lose sight of your mission. That mission needs to be one of serving others.

To do that, you have to care. No pretending involved. You must be willing to make a difference in others' lives before anyone will perceive you as real. Caring is something that can't be faked. Sure, you can pretend for a while, but you can only stand on tiptoes for so long before you've got to come down.

Being genuine means you share all of yourself. It's important that your prospects and downline know that you have the same issues they do. It's OK to admit that you're lazy sometimes, or that you still have some fear of the phone.

In this way you show others that you can relate to what they're going through. People admire you for your perfections, but love you for your faults. Don't be afraid to show how imperfect you really are. Others may share those. Sometimes we all come up short.

The most successful network marketers know this, and that's why many are such likeable people. They develop a genuine willingness to help others early in their careers, and carry that with them even today.

Once you have that, it's not something that just goes away once success arrives, nor would you want it to. It affects all areas of your life in a good way.

To convince someone why they should do business with you, you must believe that what you have will make a difference in their life. To do that, you need to know what that person wants and/or needs. What are his/her problems? Does your solution fit that?

Honestly ask yourself, "How has this made a difference in my life, and the lives of others I know?"

You can only discover this by being genuine. You simply must care about the other person. You must feel it. A very wise person once said that if you help enough people get what they want, you can have whatever it is you want.

You've got to take the focus off yourself and place it on your prospective partner. Instead of asking yourself, "How can I get this person to do what I want?", try asking, "How can I help this person get what they want?" You'll be amazed at the results.

I just don't have time to start a business. That's one of the biggest excuses we hear every week from people who claim they want to change their lives, they just don't have the time. It's not the truth but it is the excuse we hear frequently.

Did you know that the average American spends almost 30 hours a week watching Television? If you did nothing but eliminate TV from your life you would have ample time to work your business. The idiot box, sorry, the TV, will never help you get where you want to go in life! This is not a debate about the quality of TV programming or lack of quality TV, but it is a look into who we are as people. Television is just one of a massive list of excuses that people who claim to want more out of life cling to, to justify the fact that they are not as successful as they could be.

If you've started a new MLM business take a close look at how much time you currently spend watching TV, then ask yourself, how is that helping me become more successful? When you really stop to think about it all TV is really doing is taking time away from the things that should matter the most to you isn't it?

If you can't imagine life without TV we want to challenge you to record the stuff you think you can't live without and don't watch any TV for a week. Take the extra time that you would be watching the boob tube and invest it in your business and your family. You can go cold turkey for a week and if you can't then you should really do a close inspection of what you're getting from TV that you aren't getting in your life! Then take a look back in a week and see how you feel about what you've done. Did you accomplish more in your MLM business? Did your family life improve because you actually spent more time with your family?

The most successful people in America today watch very little TV and the least successful, watch the most TV. Do you think that's a coincidence? By the way, just so you don't think that excuses are limited to TV let me throw our a few other "here's why I can't start a business" excuses. I don't have the money! Do you smoke? Do you like Starbucks? Do you have breakfast, lunch or dinner at restaurants? Excuses are like armpits, everybody has them, and they all stink! You don't have to smoke, drink, go to Starbucks or eat out. If you are really broke you probably don't need to spend your money doing those things anyway!

Successful people are always willing to do what unsuccessful people are never willing to do. If you want to become successful in any MLM or any home based business you've got to change your behavior. Stop acting like an employee and start living like a business owner. It's not an easy transition for most of us since we've been employees all of our lives, and it's OK. If you won't make the transition you are destined to work for somebody else and make somebody else rich for the rest of your life. If that's all you want for you and your family, that's fine, but as for me and my house, that's not good enough for us!

Those who are into any type of MLM program know just how important marketing is for any type of success. The trouble is that most people don't know how to market successfully.

After spending thousands of dollars, not to mention hours, they give up because they are putting out more than what they are getting back. It's time to stop doing what doesn't work and start looking into what does work -- attraction marketing works.

Forget spending all your time and extra money trying to find new clients. With attraction marketing you attract qualified leads to you business.

That's right; they come to you instead of you going to them. Doesn't that seem like an easier way to build your own network? The days are gone when you have to try to persuade your friends and family to join your network.

Attraction marketing can help you build your own network with people that want to succeed as much as you do. Why? Because with attraction marketing there is no pressure put on them to join or buy.

You simply supply them with valuable, relevant information. This lays the foundation and identifies you as leader. There is no pouncing on prospects with marketing like in the past.

By changing the way you market, you will see the change in your network. A few years ago you may have only had two successful joins out of 10 prospects. Attraction marketing has changed all that. Now talk to 10 people and you will have 8 join.

These are much better numbers. The reason for this change is because attraction marketing doesn't waste your time talking to uninterested prospects; you will only be talking to those who have an interest in joining. Remember, your prospects come to you now. Building your network just got easier.

Implement a system so that your prospects can get to know and trust you. Give them the ability to contact you when they are ready. If you do this, you will have eliminated all the man hours you previously wasted trying to deal with people without the desire or interest to join your network. Attraction marketing gives you the tools to deal with those who are now well informed about your business and ready to move forward with the next step, and that is joining your network.

Some network marketers look at the Internet with skepticism. They are "old school" and still believe in one-on-one, eye-to-eye marketing. However, the Internet is fast becoming the most popular medium for network marketing, whether the old school marketers like it or not.

The Internet allows users to research almost every detail of any company world wide: this also means that network marketers have the ability to reach prospects world wide.

In order to be successful at attraction marketing you need to familiarize yourself with a few attraction marketing techniques.

The first thing is to learn about the marketing tools that are available to you on the Internet. This will help you learn how to successfully promote your business. There are many marketing strategies that work -- and there are just as many that don't. It is vitally important for you to research each one so you don't end up wasting your time.

Set yourself up with a blog, complete with all the interesting and valuable information about your business so that you can begin to build your own network. Prospects may not join your business but the seed has been planted. It will take more than visiting your website one time in order to make a decision.

Advertise, advertise, advertise. Use articles and traffic exchanges to help promote your website. The more your website is visible the more you will be looked at as a network marketing leader. The more links you have online, the more prospects you will attract to your website. You want them to come to you, so get your name out there.

Attraction marketing is all about providing valuable information to your prospects, and remember, the more helpful and valuable your information is the greater the chance those prospects will join your company. It will take time and determination on your part, but by using the power of attraction marketing you will begin to build your own network.

If you've done your research, you've probably found that many so-called "home based business opportunities" are in the network marketing industry and essentially involve some form of direct selling. There are, however, many businesses that revolve around multi-level marketing models, and those are quite different primarily due to the compensation structure (how you get paid). By finding a business that enables you to leverage the benefits of both network marketing AND direct sales, you will find that your ability to build substantial income streams from your home office in a relatively short period of time is much better.

So how is it that someone can leave the traditional business world, have the luxury of working from home, and earn a six or seven figure income, and not have to worry about the hustle and bustle of traffic, office politics and managing employees?

A Brief History On Network Marketing

For thousands of years, successful business people goods and services at the lowest price possible and sold them at the highest price for maximum profit. In the old days, haggling over price was expected in the negotiation process and the transaction culminated in a handshake deal which left both parties, give or take, mutually satisfied. This simple process of transferring goods and services was most lucrative for the small minority of entrepreneurs who knew the secret to success: network marketing!

Although the concept has been around from the very beginning of trade, the network marketing industry as a recognized industry has only been around for a few decades, and the explosive growth this industry has been experiencing has been phenomenal for both the companies and the entrepreneurs (distributors). So what is network marketing?

Network Marketing Defined

Very simply, network marketing leverages the concept of developing a network of like-minded individuals who, together, market various goods and services to others. The power of a network is actually scientifically proven to have a compounding effect on various factors of success. This is primarily due to the two primary components of any network: the node and the link.

For example, in a telecommunications network, the basic "network" is comprised of nodes and links that work together to transfer communication around the globe. The larger nodes tend to have more traffic, which is primarily due to the fact that they have more links connecting them to other nodes.

Another example: The human mind is an interrelationship of knowledge structures, which is essentially a network of nodes and links. When you think about money, perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is an image of a $100 bill and maybe the second thought is what that $100 can buy you, let's say a dinner for two. "Money" is one node, the image of that $100 bill is another node, the dinner for two is yet another node, and they are all interconnected by links (associations). If you know more about money than you do about dinners, then your "money" node is probably larger than your "dinner" node and therefore you're most likely going to have more associations with money than with dinner!

To bring this concept back to network marketing, if you create links with other like-minded people (ideally, other serious entrepreneurs who want to build successful million-dollar enterprises), then your income will grow in proportion to the number of links you have. Furthermore, your income will also be significantly impacted by the number and size of nodes that you're linked to (that is, the caliber of entrepreneurs you're working with). It is this very fundamental worldly and scientific concept that this industry is build on.

So how does direct sales fit into the picture?

Direct Sales Defined

The direct sales industry is a bit more direct (no pun intended). Quite simply, direct sales is the process of selling goods and services directly to the end consumer. Your favorite brand of soda is probably not distributed via direct sales because it is first sold by the manufacturer to the wholesaler, from the wholesaler to the retailer, and then from the retailer to the consumer. But if you were to come up with your own brand of soda and then use distributors to sell your product directly to consumers, then you'd be leveraging direct sales. You'll notice that many companies use this model all over the world.

"One-Two Punch!" A Powerful Combo

If you are a boxer, and your left hand is network marketing and your right hand is direct sales, which hand do you think your trainer would instruct you to use more often in the boxing ring? Whichever is your stronger hand? No, both! Why? Because it's the most efficient and productive combination for success.

You see, there are a few companies in North America that have built their organizations from the ground up on top-tier products and have embraced a distribution model that takes the best of network marketing and direct sales and blended the benefits of both into a win-win business opportunity for professional business owners.

Top-Tier Business Opportunities Blend

(1) Excellent products that have strong demand in their respective marketplaces

(2) A powerful compensation plan that rewards entrepreneurs very well for their efforts

(3) A duplicable system that helps the entrepreneur eliminate 90-95% of the variables that cause most startup businesses to fail

(4) Training and support via a community of other successful entrepreneurs who are willing to share their secrets to success in the business. I've underlined that last part for a very good reason: this is the critical variable that is hardest to find. But if you do find it, hold on because you are going to enjoy the ride!

To wrap up, network marketing is the basis for explosive growth in your business. Direct sales is the mechanism by which you will earn the most income, primarily due to the fact that there is no middle tier in the distribution chain to suck out a large chunk of the profit margins. Find a company that can provide you with the benefits of both models and you will find the most efficient vehicle for building up to a millionaire status within 2-5 years.

Final Thought

Do your due diligence before selecting a home business. You want to find a reputable company that has top-tier products that are standalone (can be placed for sale on a brick-and-mortar store shelf), has an excellent compensation plan, offers a supportive community to help you build your business, and has industry leaders building their businesses with this organization (this shows you that the best of the best are there, which means you probably are selecting a very good organization to work with).

I remembered when I 1st got started online, I came across an ebook showing me how I could get rich setting up a simple website. Problem is that after the website was set up, there was no clear instructions on where to go after that.

And because that website was MLM in nature, it means a monthly sum had to be paid. If I was a casualty, there must have been alot more who were in the same shoes. So after much deliberation, I stepped back to try and see the whole picture.

What went wrong? Why was it that after I did what the book said, nothing happened? Why did not the earth move like it said it would?

Looking back now, I wish I knew then what I know now. Success in online MLM means teaching everything that you know to your downline, so that they can duplicate you. Setting up a website doesn't mean you're going to get rich, they entire sales formula, training is important.

Its like golf, you can't be good at the Driver, while your iron play and game around the green is not up to scratch. Everything within the marketing formula needs to be well oiled, this includes

-Training (Teaching you with Audio and Video)
-Traffic formula (How many Articles it takes to earn $500 for example)
-Sales Funnel (Is there a One time offer, how strong is the sales argument)
-Reliable way for members to receive their cash (Is payment by Cheques or Cash Card)
-Duplication prospecting system (simple Formula that allows everyone to find success)
-Outsourcing of certain aspects of the prospecting system if necessary (Lead sources)
-Options for Free as well as paid advertising so that those with a small marketing budget can still earn (Implemented with a Tell-A-Friend Script)
-Ability to find "Blue Oceans". You can't advertise in Ezines or Traffic Exchanges when that venue is already saturated.

Lacking anyone of these, and your MLM model is not going to work, no matter how much you believe it will. Sometimes the only way to know which is lacking is just to generate traffic to the site and watch the conversions, see what happens. In other words, track everything as much as possible. Once we have the numbers, we can proceed to plug the problems swiftly.

Solve the problem of leads, free advertising, traffic generation, cash flow, and you will be in the top ranks of the 5% that have learnt how to build an active downline and also earn splendid recurring income online.

Many people looking to make money online these days end up joining an MLM business opportunity. Unfortunately most of those people, perhaps as much as 98% of them will end up failing. There are many reasons why people fail in MLM business opportunities. Most of them join expecting to make easy money without doing much work and when that doesn't happen they get frustrated, quit and blame it on the company or their sponsor.

What these people don't realize is that it takes a lot of time and effort to build a large enough network to see any significant income. They also fail to educate themselves on how to market and advertise properly on the internet. Unfortunately, most MLM business opportunites fail to provide the training needed to really become successful which leads to the high attrition rate most MLMs suffer from. This means that if you are trying to build an MLM network, your downline is quitting as fast as you can sign them up.

Does this mean that MLM business opportunities are no good or are scams? No, not at all. Many of them are good programs with good products but because of the lack of up to date step-by-step training for their members, only those people with extensive experience are able to recruit the massive number of people that are needed to create a significant income.

This is why many top online earners and internet marketing heavy hitters are turning their attention to top tier programs that not only provide much larger commissions for the same amount of effort but also provide the necessary step-by-step training on how to properly market on the internet so that you don't have to figure it out on your own. An example of this type of top tier business opportunity is the Wealth Magnet System. With the extensive training provided by the Wealth Magnet System, even those new to internet marketing have an excellent shot at success in a relatively short period of time compared to a traditional MLM business opportunity.

Another important point to consider is that because top tier business opportunities have a higher start up cost, those who join tend to take their new business much more seriously and are much less likely to quit in a few months. They will treat it like a real business so to speak and will put in the required effort to make it work which will benefit you as their sponsor.

So is joining an MLM business opportunity worth your time? Well, ask yourself this. Would you rather make a couple hundred dollars in an MLM or several thousand dollars in a top tier program for the same amount of work? Answer that question and you'll have your answer.

I love MLM. It absolutely changed my life, but it wasn't easy. Although I love MLM there are many things that bother me about the industry. Have you ever heard this before? It's easy, you'll be making _________ by your second or third month! You can fill in the blank with whatever amount you want, I've heard people say $10,000 or $30,000 or more and there is no easy way to say this, it's a lie!

Before you call me out as an ignorant fool there are some businesses that offer that type of payout if you are willing to invest $5,000 or $10,000 or even more to get started, but how many people can do that? Even if they can and will, how many people do they know that can afford to do that? Can you do that consistently for the next 5 years? Those companies and the people that join those companies are one of the reasons so many people hate MLM. Get rich quick and get rich easy has been the "lure" that many people use to get people to join them in their MLM business.

Is MLM really easy? I would run as fast as I could from anybody that tells you that it's easy. If you are struggling in your MLM business you should know right now that you aren't the only one who is struggling. I know that you can attend meetings and everybody puts on their "happy face" and proclaims that they are making a fortune, and that they did it overnight, and that it was easy, I've been to those meetings too but it just isn't the truth. If that was true why wouldn't everybody be making a fortune?

All we do when we tell people who are new to MLM that it is easy is set them up for failure. If it isn't easy for your new person they will think that there must be something wrong with them and then they'll quit. Since it's easy for everybody else it must be my fault. I'm no good, I new this wasn't going to work for me! Is that really how you want your new people to feel? People quit MLM every day because they don't think they can become successful, but the truth is they could change their life forever if they were given the proper guidance and direction.

What if I told you that I failed miserably at every MLM I ever tried, never even got a check in anything, until I finally became successful? Would that make you feel better? I felt like the biggest loser on the planet and I even promised my wife that I would never do MLM again! If you are struggling right now you need to know, you need to believe that you are not the only one who is struggling. You also need to know that if a loser, former loser, that sounds better, if a former loser like me can become incredibly successful in MLM, you can too.

So what should you do if you are struggling? Find a mentor. Go upline as far as you need to go until you find somebody that is really successful who is willing to help you. Attend all the big events that you can possibly attend for your company. Don't make the "I don't have the money" excuse. If your MLM business is important you can make the sacrifices you need to make to attend these events. Plug into conference calls and local meetings, arrive early and stay late. You'll be amazed at what you can learn by just hanging around, but be careful, don't listen to just anybody. There are a lot of unsuccessful people who talk like they are making a fortune and they will offer plenty of advice, telling you what you should do and they don't have a stinking clue what they are talking about.

You aren't the only one who is struggling but if you choose to stay in the game and listen to the right people you will achieve life changing success. We believe in you. You should believe in yourself. You'd be reading for days if we listed all the struggles that we had to personally overcome to become successful, but we'll just save you some time and say that if a former MLM loser like me can change his life and make more money than 99% of all Americans you can too!

Do you ever feel like you bought a business in a box, but that a few parts might be missing? You know... The pieces that actually make the system produce results?

Well, if you feel like that, it's because you're right. Ray Kroc, the franchise master of McDonald's was a genius in more ways than one.

MLM has been compared to a McDonald's franchise in many ways, on many occasions. If you haven't come across these comparisons before, I'm sure you can quickly think of a few on your own.

Here is what you may not have realized about Ray, McDonald's, and your business... Ray's primary mission was to sell McDonald's franchises to franchise buyers, which then sell the burgers to the customers. More franchises = more burgers sold. Pretty simple.

Our job as networkers is no different. We sell our franchise opportunity to others, and collectively market the product to the end consumer.

Here's the interesting part to this... McDonald's food sucks. It's about as far from good, fresh, quality food that you can get.

Yet it's the largest and most successful franchise and fast food restaurant in the history of human kind. How in the world is that possible?

How can you become #1, by selling an inferior product?! It goes against everything we think we know about business. Well, this is exactly where the genius of Ray Kroc becomes apparent.

If you wish to turn your business into the ultimate franchise system that will bring you unbelievable results:
* How to build a duplicatable system so effective, that anyone who bothers to show up to work will be successful.
* How to create the machines that bring in the customers.
* How to create the marketing that sells them on your product or service.
* How to become the Ray Kroc of MLM and leave the competition's head spinning.

Ray knew the product wasn't going to be the initial key to success for his franchise buyers, just as your product is not the initial key to your success in your MLM business.

Having a good product is important after the fact... Once you actually have customers. Then it's critical to give them exactly what they want.

The key to McDonald's success, with both franchise owners and customers, was their duplicatable system. Ray knew his food couldn't compare to the quality of other franchises.

He also knew that potential franchise buyers didn't give a hoot about McDonald's or their burgers. What they did want, was results (money).

So Ray sold them EXACTLY what they wanted, which wasn't a restaurant, but a machine that acquired customers, and turned them into cash. He didn't sell them the food, he sold them a system.

In fact the system was so fine-tuned, that you could take a team of unskilled, inexperienced high school kids, and have them run the show. All they did was flip the switches, that ran the machine, which did the majority of the work behind the scenes.

The competition didn't have a chance. Ray's system was like a greased chute. You turn it on, and it will bring predictable end results every time.

Franchise owners started buying and setting these machines up by the thousands, turned them on, and got the end result. That is why they bought McDonald's over the competition.

As these machines popped up around the country, the end product to the consumer became more than just food. It became the predictable expectation and atmosphere provided by Ray's magical machines.

And that is what McDonald's provides better than anyone else in the world. That is their true product to the consumer.

You go to McDonald's because you know exactly what to expect. It's a comfort for people. So, as a network marketer, selling a business franchise, what are you selling to your potential buyers?

Unfortunately, you are probably trying to sell them on your company and your product. (A mine-is-better-than-yours-burger-with all the trimmings).

Am I right? You have a ton of websites and material about your company's history, their record breaking growth, their debt-free finances, the ORAC value of your product, the Physician's desk reference number, the user testimonials... Blah blah blah.

Be smart. Do what Ray did.

People get rich in this world by solving other people's problems, and when you sell someone your opportunity, you are not solving a problem, you are giving them a bigger one!

Product and comp plans don't make you successful. Systems do. And when I say systems, I mean a complete system which includes the pieces that bring in your customers (ads), sell them your product (marketing), and then deliver the goods.

These machines (ads and marketing) should be doing the work for you. All you need to do is push the "Go Button" and become buddies (customer service, cashiers) with the folks who come through the system. Not because you are unskilled or lazy, but because a system is duplicatable and you are not.

It provides a predictable result. Show them and sell them a system for attaining the results they want, and they could care less about ORAC values, price points, and competition.

Solve their problem. Provide them with a system that brings results, and you will reap success beyond your wildest dreams.

Managing the use of time in your network marketing internet business is crucial. One of the aspects of this business overlooked too often is how time is utilized to it's best effect.

If you log onto your computer in the morning and spend the first couple of hours going through your emails, checking your stats, reading sales letters and going through various forums you've got to ask yourself..."Is this the best use of my time?"

Really, think about it. It's two hours you've lost forever and in most cases it won't produce you any results whatsoever. You have just spent time on things that are not going to help your business grow.

Time Management Skills

Lack of time management skills can be put down to several factors including lack of focus, lack of discipline or you've simply lost your way and can't get back on track.

Your network marketing internet business needs a pilot and that's you. If you aren't steering the ship then no one else is and no, contrary to what you've been told, if your MLM business is just getting started it will not run on automatic pilot.

The answer is finding and implementing methods that will make your activities more efficient; doing the important tasks ahead of the menial tasks and getting back your focus and discipline.

Sounds simple doesn't it? For a network marketing business to thrive and get to the stage where leverage begins to kick in it needs to be nurtured during the formulative stages. There will be tasks you'll need to do that you won't like but applying a little time management to the process can do wonders.

The first two things you will do is set yourself a work time schedule and secondly, challenge yourself. A work schedule is vital. I hear you saying..."but they told me working at home isn't like a 9-5 job?" It is and it isn't. That sounds like a contradiction but I'll explain.

The attraction with working from home is you don't have to commute through traffic to a destination away from your home. The downside to this is unless you have the discipline and focus to apply to your business then you would be better off going to a job. At least there will be a paycheck to collect at the end of the week.

Challenging yourself means setting goals, both short and long term but more importantly, get the fear factor going. In a network marketing internet business fear is one of the greatest motivators, fear of failure in particular, fear of letting your family down, fear of reaching your so called retirement years and explaining to your family you did the best you could but alas, you're broke and you need to keep working.

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

What is it that differentiates a legitimate home business opportunity from the rest of the garbage out there, and how can you find the one that is clearly the best one for you?

Well, the answer is simple, but not blatantly obvious. The main reason that most people have a difficult time finding a top-tier home business opportunity is because most of what they stumble into nowadays doesn't possess the most important critical success factors that are absolutely necessary to insure the highest probability of success for the incoming entrepreneur.

I've spent the past six years trying out different home businesses. Some had good potential, most didn't. I can honestly say that the ones that did have potential but didn't work for me was because those particular businesses weren't a good fit for me personally.

So how can you spot a great (not good, but GREAT) home business opportunity for you?

Here are the nine critical success factors that I've found to be of prime importance to insure the highest probability of success in a home business for you:

1. Define Your Dream

This might sound silly, but it's absolutely the first step you should take before researching potential home business candidates. Why? Well, not articulating what it is you are going to be working for is, in my opinion, a waste of time. It can be as simple as "I want to work for 6 months and then vacation for one month" or "I want to earn $40,000 per month for the next 5 years and then sail around the world for 10 months" or "I want to create multiple streams of income, most of which are on auto-pilot, so that I can do whatever I want, whenever I want." Whatever it is, it's not silly - it's your dream! But without having a clear picture of what that dream is, most people tend not to be very successful in their businesses because the major motivating factor isn't there.

2. "Home Business" or "Work From Home?"

Most people don't realize that there is a humungous difference between the two. A legitimate home business opportunity will provide you with a program or system that enables you to build a business that does not require you to be anywhere outside of your home office to be successful. Work-from-home opportunities simply provide different "jobs" that enable you to earn income from home, typically paying on a batch-job basis (i.e., earn $20 for every 1,000 envelopes you stuff). Big difference here, so make sure your work-from-home program isn't cloaked as a home business opportunity.

3. Find a Mentor

This is one of the most important steps you'll ever take after getting a good grasp on what it is you're working toward. You should find someone who (a) you can trust, (b) has the expertise to guide you, coach you, and mentor you, (c) has already achieved the results you are seeking, (d) has a proven system that you can leverage to build a profitable business as quickly and efficiently as possible, (e) has a vested interest in your success (i.e., they get paid every time you do), and (f) has good duplication on his or her team - if others are also having success with this mentor, then ask for an introduction to a few of them.

4. Choose Top-Tier Products

This is where most home business opportunities fall short. There are many companies that promote larger-than-life income opportunities for a business that distributes products that are nothing more than a cover-up for a money game. In short, don't just look for products; look for products that you feel have value that is much greater than their price tags. Ask what percentage of products sold are retail versus to other business owners who joined the program. That's good proof you're dealing with great products.

5. Leverage A Turnkey System

Successful home business owners all have one thing in common: they leverage a system that has a proven, results-oriented track record. Look for a company that will be able to provide you with a system that you can easily and quickly plug into and not have to be out on your own with regard to lead generation. If you're directed to rely on approaching your friends and family, purchased leads or handing out flyers - just run as quickly as you can in the other direction! You need to have access to a turnkey system that will bring qualified leads to you. This is a very common weak link. What you're essentially after here is a system that eliminates 90-95% of the variables that cause most businesses to fail.

6. Find A Company With A Solid Foundation

If you're going to make a long term commitment to a successful home-based business, it's absolutely critical that the company you're relying on for your business has a solid foundation with respect to long term vision and overall business plans. One thing to look out for is if the company is based outside of the country, hiding from the scrutiny of the government. Search the Better Business Bureau for unsettled complaints. Compare the number of complaints to the company's competitors to give yourself a benchmark of the quality of this company. Obviously, every company has at least some complaints (we consumers don't speak much about the good, but we love to scream about the bad!). Simply do your due diligence and be careful!

7. Choose The Right Business Model

Let's face it, there are many ways to build a business, and if you choose one that will give you the highest probability of success, it will save you a lot of heartache and pain. My personal preference is to find a reputable direct sales company. I am not a fan of multi-level marketing (MLM) models primarily because they require you to recruit thousands of people before you can start collecting decent commission checks. The attrition is huge and the commissions are typically very small, which is why building a very large team is required. With a direct sales model, when you combine a high quality product that pays a substantial commission with a proven turnkey system, you're giving yourself optimal ingredients for success.

8. Training, Support and Professional Development

Point blank, you're going to need all three. There is going to be a learning curve with the products, the system, your marketing, and growing your business. You need real people who will provide you with good training to get you up and running quickly, support in all stages of the sales cycle, and development (both personal and professional). The benefits to your business with the right dose of these three components will catapult your business to where you need it to be.

9. Part Time or Full Time

During your planning stage, you'll need to assess whether you're going to build your business on a part-time basis while still working at your current "job" or business or if you're going to jump into it full time. This is needs to be entirely up to you based on your current financial situation and based on your goals and objectives. Do not, under any circumstances, get coaxed into going full time right out of the gates if it's going to put you in any financial distress. If the business opportunity you're looking into is urging you to go full time, just walk away. It's your business and you can do whatever you want to with it. Most of the time, starting off part time is the best option since it allows you to maintain the income stream you're currently used to and use that to finance your business in the beginning months until you develop an income stream from your home business that allows you to step away from your job and realize your dreams.

Final Thought

At the end of the day, trust your intuition. Your gut feeling can be one of your most trustworthy sources of information when it comes to choosing the right home business for you. I'm sure you know the adage, "If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't."

So define your dream, find the best home business opportunity out there, and I'll see you at the top!

Using classified ads for driving network marketing sales or business building is often discouraged because it is harder than other advertising methods. There is a way though, to use classified ads correctly to drive traffic to your website offers and make sales of network marketing products.

The name of the game when constructing a classified ad is to keep the ad simple. You must remember that you are seeking clicks to your site, not trying to sell anything with the ad itself. With that in mind, let's look at the structure of your first classified ad headline.

The way you want to make your headline get noticed is to use words in it that get attention from your readers. Using a psychological trigger can help you get more clicks to your ad. To get the most clicks from your ad, use words like "cheap", "free", "proven" and "shocking". It is also important that you know which ads are doing well and bringing responses, so be sure you track each ad you submit.

A quick trick for those of you who are submitting multiple ads to the same URL is to use a format for your URL link something like this: yourdomain/?=trackingcode -- The tracking code should be a 3 or 4 number code. And be sure to write down each tracking code that corresponds to each ad you have placed. The tracking codes are best when they are a random number. This makes them unique. Always use the same tracking code for its assigned ad.

The next step in creating your ad is the first line of the ad itself. According to many experts, the best way to make your ad appealing is to state a quantifiable benefit in this line. This benefit should make the reader recognize right away that they have come to the right place. A good way to do this is to tell the reader exactly what solution your product or business offers them.

The third line of your ad should be about a crucial feature of your product or business. This can be a unique selling point. The purpose is to draw the reader into clicking through now to find out the details and price of the offer. Just remember to keep the ad as simple as you can. The goal when advertising with classified ads is to use as few words as you can to achieve the greatest results.

In fact, using a bigger, more complicated ad will only lessen your chances of success. So do not write heavily worded ads, or you might waste a lot of time and effort.

Next you will need places to post your new ads to. The criteria here is to find places that will allow free classified ads that get large amounts of traffic themselves. Two of the best places to post your classifieds for free are Craigslist and classifieds at yahoo.

Both of these sites will allow you to post your classifieds for free if you place your ads under the CORRECT TOPICS. Do not break this rule ever. This can lead to your ads being deleted and you could be banned from using their free service. And always read the terms of service before posting to these sites.

Your overall success and profits will be greater when you follow this proven method of advertising using free classifieds. The results can be more effective exposure for your network marketing promotions and an increase in sales and distributors for your company. So start submitting your ads today for more clicks and profits.

Many network marketers get into the business for a reason. Ask them what that reason is and you will get several different answers. Truth be told, it wasn't to make some 'extra money' or 'to have something to do'.

Sure the money looks great and that is a draw, but the real reason is a hidden one that newcomers to the Internet marketing arena don't even realize themselves. That reason is the trappings of the promise of magnificent riches and glory. It's the big houses, big fancy cars and enough money to do whatever you want to do at any time. We all want that now, don't we?

This isn't a bad thing except that there is a BIG misgiving about Internet marketing that newcomers need to realize.

Every program or system alive today on the Internet promises great riches with little work. THAT is the biggest failing point for new Internet marketers.

Do not confuse "simple" with "easy". They are two different things altogether that need to be separated. The Internet has made things simpler but building your network is not going to be easy. It will take some effort on your part and will also require patience. In other words, it takes time.

Before the internet age, networkers have gotten really experienced at running their promotions offline, but when they start to put the Internet into their network marketing business, their business fumble.

In the opposite end, I have seen network marketers who sucks at offline recruiting but are able to recruit hundreds and thousands of members once they tapped onto the power of the internet.

In order to succeed online, network marketer needs to use the versatility of the Internet to take their promotion to new levels. There are so many ways to do this that it's actually staggering.

There are literally hundreds of methods available to you.

The best thing you could do is to do some research and pick out three or four lead generating strategies that suit you and your business. Stick to it for as long as you can and concentrate on making your marketing work online.

Frequently check your stats and conversion rate and figure out ways to improve it. Never think that marketing online is just a one time effect. In order to take your business into the virtual world of the Internet and make it succeed. You need to constantly improve on your marketing channel and twitch your conversion level.

Since the Internet is constantly changing and there is a plethora of information to look at, it can be overwhelming. Don't be overcome by the amount of information.

On the contrary, be enthused by it because somewhere in there is something that will work for you. That is a guaranteed fact. You just need to find your niche and capitalize on it.

If there were one piece of advice worth giving, it would be to simply hang in there and keep trying. Try out several different methods of using the Internet in your marketing. By putting the Internet into your network marketing business, you may remain in the 5% mentioned above and find levels of success you never dreamed of.

Solid leads are very important in helping any MLM business or program grow and expand, as these leads are key in getting individuals to join and become members. There are several different types of MLM leads, which are generated from a variety of places, and you must learn how to effectively use these leads to help your MLM business grow.

A popular type of MLM lead is qualified leads, which are the strongest leads available and the ones most likely to result in an individual joining your program or business. These qualified leads consist of individuals who have expressed an interest in the MLM program and often this is done through guaranteed sign ups. Through these, individuals take the initiative to show their interest to learn more and join the program by signing up online. This provides one of the most solid leads for MLM businesses, as these individuals have proven they are actively seeking to join. It is up to each MLM program to then turn this lead into a membership in their program.

MLM leads can also come from advertising, emails, telemarketing, websites and other things. While these can provide you with prospective leads of individuals you might be able to convince to join the program, they usually don't offer you the success rate found in guaranteed sign ups. This is due to the fact that leads developed this way aren't always associated with individuals interested in your program or business. Targeting uninterested individuals just makes it that much harder to convince them to join your MLM program, although it can be done.

As you can see, MLM leads come from a variety of places, some of which are more effective than others. However, it's not as important where you got the lead, as it is what you do with the lead once you have. You can have the best leads in the world, but if you don't know how to effectively turn those leads into people joining your program, you won't be successful.

It's important when you do receive leads that you have instant contact with the individuals. You want to capture them and convince them to join your business while they are still interested in your program. Having too much time in between when they became a lead and when you contacted them gives them time to change their mind or find another program that interests them more. In addition, it's important you determine what the best way to sell them on joining your MLM business is. Having the right marketing strategy based on your program and the specific individual you are selling to can make a huge difference in whether your leads turn into people becoming part of your business.

Knowing about the different types of leads is important in obtaining individuals to join your business and help it grow. It's just as important though, to ensure that you can convert these leads into increases in your downline. The more people you can get working under you, the more they can help your business grow and expand as well.

Are you a beauty consultant, franchise owner, or sales consultant looking to expand your business and get people working under you? Do you have a multi-level marketing (MLM) program you are trying to make grow?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, you should consider using real-time guaranteed sign ups to help you accomplish this.

Guaranteed signups are great in helping you expand your MLM program, as they allow individuals interested in the program to take a step towards joining it by signing up on your website. This is great for you as a business person, as these people have taken the initiative to learn more or join the program, as opposed to lists of individuals derived from a marketing company, many whom aren't interested in joining the program.

With guaranteed sign ups you don't have to spend countless hours trying to solicit uninterested individuals, most of who won't join your program. Instead you can focus on those who have completed guaranteed sign ups through your website and who have shown their interest in learning more or joining. These individuals are the most likely to become part of your program if you can sell them on it.

However, it is important to go a step further than just regular guaranteed sign ups and make them real-time guaranteed signups, as this is the best way to get sign ups. Having real-time sign ups allows you to receive the information from specific individuals as soon as it is submitted on your website, which means that you can quickly follow up with this individual and their request or interest. Any good business person knows how important it is to quickly follow up with an interested or prospective client, as you want to sell them when they want to buy and before they have a chance to change their mind.

Without real-time guaranteed sign up, an individual might find another MLM program that they are interested in joining in the time it takes you to get their information from the website and contact or follow up with them. Real-time will prevent this from happening though, as it will provide you with their information as soon as they hit submit.

No matter what type of MLM program you have, real-time guaranteed sign ups are the best way to expand your business for a number of reasons. Guaranteed signups provide you with accurate information from people who are interested in your program and have taken an action step by signing up through your website. In addition, the real-time aspect of these sign ups allows you to respond to these individuals immediately, which increases the chance they will join your MLM program.

Getting more individuals involved in your MLM program is the key to your success, and by using real-time guaranteed sign ups you can make this happen.

Forget about all the network marketing tips suggesting you'll make a boat load of money in the MLM business. You won't make one dime if you don't develop the one asset guaranteed to see you achieve your end goal.

What asset am I talking about? It's your long term mindset. The majority of people running a network marketing business don't achieve immediate success. It doesn't matter which way you look at this business it's simply not geared for short term gains.

Sure it's been done before but it's the exception rather than the norm. Focus and discipline are two key ingredients in developing a long term mindset. Many distributors in fact, over 90% "pull the plug" on their business in the first three months not because the business failed them but simply because they frustrate themselves into defeat.

Why is this? The short answer is they don't achieve immediate results. The truth is they shouldn't expect immediate results and the sad fact is, many are recruited and lured into the business on the promise of instant riches.

More Network Marketing Tips

Write this network marketing tip down and ingrain it into your mind if you are looking at joining the business. Your planning has to been based around your overall focus. That focus should revolve around a long term strategy, whether it's a one year, two year or even a five year plan. It certainly shouldn't be one month.

To achieve your long term goal you are going to have to achieve some minor victories along the way. In other words you will set yourself a series of short term attainable goals on the way to your ultimate aim.

Focus And Discipline Are Key

One of the keys to this is developing those two key essential ingredients in focus and discipline. One without the other won't necessarily result in failure but combine the two, and you will become an irresistable force.

Discipline is like an emergency generator when your motivation wanes. Disappearing motivation in network marketing is all too common. Those who succeed are the "troopers" who maintain a strong focus on their long term goal and engineer the discipline to push on.

So, of all the network marketing tips you take on board in your quest to build your business it's this - develop a long term mindset and get your focus and discipline working in unison. In horse racing terms, do this and you'll back a winner.

The Internet has become a very competitive marketplace. Every day, millions of businesses compete for consumer purchases. With all the businesses available, it can be difficult to get your business to stand out among the competition. It can also be difficult to get customers to your site to check out what you have to offer, as well as purchase products. To increase the number of visitors and customers to their sites in hopes they will buy something, many businesses are turning to guaranteed traffic, and you can too.

Guaranteed traffic ensures that a certain number of visitors will frequent your site during a specific time period, which is usually a month. There are a number of different types of guaranteed traffic you can use if you are interested in having your site more visible.

Buy traffic is one of the most common types of guaranteed traffic, as you can buy a specific number of visitor clicks to your website each month. Businesses assume that a certain percentage of visitors to the site will make a purchase, thus guaranteed traffic often pays for itself. However, this is not always the case, and you need to be careful if you do decide to use buy traffic, as eighty percent of buy traffic sites are scams.

If you don't want to buy traffic, you can always use a banner or link exchange, which is almost always free. These direct individuals from other websites to your website through banners and links on a page and have been around since the beginning of the Internet. They are one of the most proven methods of increasing visitors to your site, although the pop-up method provides a larger volume of visitors to your website.

Pop-up methods direct traffic to your site by popping up a window for you website, when someone visits a different website. This can be very beneficial to you as it directs traffic to your site, but you need to make sure you go with a reputable pop-up or pop-under company. Choosing the wrong company can send the wrong type of traffic to your website, and it can also send you traffic from countries where you won't be able to ship or provide your product. This is why it is so important to research the company you are going to use, before you pay them for their services.

You should be slightly weary of using pop-up traffic though, due to its annoyance level on potential customers. As more and more businesses have utilized this proven traffic method, the frustration of customers has grown, and now some customers refuse to visit sites hosting pop-ups or being advertised through pop-ups. In addition, many software programs now come with pop-up blockers, which stop them from showing up. These two growing things can make money you spend on pop-up traffic a huge waste.

While the Internet has become very competitive due to the large volume of businesses all trying to sell their products, there are some things you can do to make your business and website stand out. Having guaranteed traffic to your site is just one of them.

Everyday thousands of people get turned on to the idea of starting an mlm business. Although it may sound like a dream come true the reality is that most people wind up failing and quit soon after. If you want to start an mlm business you have to get into the right state of mind and be prepared for some tough challenges down the road. This can be a very lucrative business, but it is still a business and is going to require your time and effort. Luckily in today's world, starting an mlm business has become much easier to run and automate utilizing the Internet. I want to go over a couple things with you that you should consider before you start an mlm business.

Find Some Business Partners

If you are interested and want to get involved with the mlm industry you should not go it alone. Too many people fall into this trap of doing it by themselves and wind up quitting because they have lack of focus and support from fellow team members. It's a good idea to find a couple of friends or family members who might be interested and have them join under you. You can than make it a goal for each of them to go out and find two more people or business partners. This will get your duplication system off to a head start and build your downline quick.

Make A Business Plan

It is very important that you outline from the start how you are going to start an mlm business and operate it. Many people fail because they do not have goals or a plan to follow. It is important that you keep track of your spending and organize meetings with your downline and focus on their needs also. Remember that the people in your downline are like your employees and if they leave you will make no money. Going into mlm without a business plan will ultimately result in failure.

Think About Marketing It Online

With the advanced technology the Internet offers, mlm online is becoming very popular and it might be an option you want to consider. There are many great marketing tools and duplication systems you can implement online and build you mlm business on complete auto-pilot. The Internet is also a great place to find mlm leads and prospects. There are thousands of forums online with people looking to get involved with network marketing. Using the Internet is also good if you have a limited advertising budget or little time to network.

Be Prepared For The Long Haul

Before you start an mlm business you have to recognize that this business is not as easy as people make it out to be. Many recruiters sell you on fancy compensation plans and the appeal of doing very little work and making lots of money. This is all very true but it is what you put into it which is going to determine your success. Once you become an active recruiter you can never stop and get lazy. If the most successful mlm person stopped recruiting today his empire will crumble in a year. This business will not build itself overnight and could take years to build depending on your skills and dedication.

If you decide that mlm is for you than you could be in for some nice income and lifestyle changes. Many people everyday start an mlm business and enjoy the lifestyle of being their own boss and making retirement style income for themselves and their families. Take some of these things into consideration before you start an mlm business and you can be well on your way to becoming the next big mlm superstar.

I remember feeling quite guilty... Almost depressed for some of the people's lack of success on my team. If you are a network or internet marketer you can relate to the frustration of not being able to find prospects that succeed and stay in your business opportunity long-term.

You probably feel that no matter how hard you try to help prospects start their business, If they're not making a living in 12months...they're over it.

You continue to try various ways to encourage them, however, duplicating yourself just doesn't seem to happen. Why? Every network marketer with at least 50 reps will start to wrestle with this question at some point.

When this happened to me I started spending the vast majority of my time developing new websites, new systems, and new tools in order to help them achieve the success they said they so badly wanted. I basically stopped sponsoring all together and got into the dreaded "management mode," where 90% of my time was spent on training and tool development.

But the funny part, is that nothing ever changed. It didn't matter what I did for them. It didn't matter how bad I wanted "success" for them. The people who were getting results, continued to do so, while those who were treading water, kept treading.

Understand this right now: The only thing you can do that will truly help your business and your team members is to lead by example. Just do the things that you need to personally do on a daily basis to build your business - Advertising, prospecting, follow-up, and new rep orientation.

One training call per week for new reps, tops... Spend more of your time one-on-one with your producers, and that's it.

Just as it is a sorting game to find new reps, it is a sorting game to find reps that will work and achieve once they join. The sad truth is that 90% of those who start a networking business aren't really serious about becoming self-employed. They are just looking to "buy some hope," so they can quiet the voices of discontent in their heads.

Soon enough, they'll find an excuse as to why "it didn't work for them," and quit. And there's nothing you can do about it. So:
* Don't spend your time and energy worrying about it.
* Do not cater to their weakness.
* Do not change your tools if they are working for you.
* Do not change your website if it is working for you.
* Do not change your system if it is working for you -just because it doesn't work for others. It never will work for them, and that is their issue, not yours.

Build YOUR business. Lead by example, and the right one's (the few), will follow you. Put your blinders on to everything and everyone else. I tolerate zero negativity in my life now. Someone sends an unfriendly email... Adios. They're off my list and out of my life.

I was at a convention once and I asked a whale of a network marketer what I needed to do because my down-line had gotten stagnant(I had basically stopped recruiting). "Find new blood" was his answer, and he was right. You're not here to save people.

You're here to give them an opportunity to save themselves. Most won't. And only they can ever change that.

As a business owner, it's much smarter to find "doers" and leaders than it is to turn people into them (which is basically impossible without their personal conviction to do so).

It is also very important that you leverage large numbers in your business building efforts, because you won't even notice the whiners, complainers, and quitters when you're dealing with thousands of people. The best way to do that is to start advertising, then build and maintain a list that you drip on over time. Each new contact will bring new, interested prospects and reps to the table.

Why do so many people quit the business of network/internet marketing and never achieve true freedom and wealth?

On the surface this may seem like a very simple question that could be answered by a few of the typical/obvious answers:
* They quit
* They didn't plug in
* They didn't participate

Whatever... What you want to ask yourself, or maybe even know about yourself, is why...why didn't they follow through, while others do? When I finally learned the answer to this question last week listening to a CD in my MLM university (aka, my truck), it was quite sobering.

Not only did the reason behind their results come into the open, but the reason for my recent spat of success became apparent as well. So what's the answer?

Why do most people fail when a select few succeed? Drum roll please...Those who do succeed have a core desire to do so. Those who don't share that same core level of desire will not.

"Desire... Ya Mike I've already heard that 100 times from my upline: Just look for people with desire and you'll do great... yada yada yada... Everyone I talk to has the desire to make more money. It hasn't made any difference so far."

And you're right. The difference is in their level of desire.

The only time anything ever gets done in your life is when you follow it through to completion with a sense of urgency - when your desire to accomplish that task is at a core level of 100 on a scale of 100.

You must accomplish it. It's a part of you. It consumes you. It dominates your thoughts above and beyond anything else each day and all day.

These are core desires, and the people who achieve notable success in network marketing, have that accomplishment as a core desire. That core desire brings them freedom and wealth.

They are the ones you see on stage and hear on the training calls. That's it. That's the secret.

If attaining your goal means paying off your credit cards, buying a house, saving for retirement, or firing your boss, then you are lacking core desire, you are not attached to your networking business enough, and you will not succeed. Period.

The sad truth, is that most people in the network/internet marketing industry did not buy a business, they bought hope. And hope is never backed by true desire.

Hope is for the undecided. A career in network marketing (i.e. a boss free life), has been a core desire of mine for the last 7 years.

I've moved across the country because of it. I've taken certain jobs because of it. I've dated or not dated because of it. I spent money on training instead of furniture because of it.

The desire to never work for anyone else again has been a dominating force in my life, and it's the reason I didn't quit after the first 6 years of hell. It's the reason I continued to pour every spare cent I ever made into my business.

It's the reason I pawned a $3,000 bike I won two state championships on to buy advertising - and came up empty.

Yet I kept going forward without doubt because I have this core desire at a level of 100 to succeed in networking.

And this means my success was 100% guaranteed. It was no longer a matter of IF, but WHEN.

So that's why people you sponsor quit. Don't get frustrated. 80% of people who join you will never sponsor more than 1 rep or customer.

Most people simple don't have the desire at a level of 100 to accomplish their goals through their new business. They just bought hope in order to quiet that little voice inside them that keeps nagging them to make a change.

Once they buy the networking business, and they don't make $1,000 in 5 days, they can then justify their fear of change with the "logic" that it just "didn't work," and that they knew it was a scam to begin with... This is especially true with opportunity seekers, which is why I don't waste my money on these types of people and why you shouldn't either.

Ha. So sad, yet so true. People are funny aren't they? So my question to you is... What is your desire level to achieve your goal through network marketing?

Is it at 50? (like most people) Is it at 80? (not enough) Is it at 90? (not enough)

Or is it at 100? (The only number that will produce results). You should be able to tell pretty quickly.

What do you do each day to build your business? How many books on the industry do you own? How many conference calls are you on each week? How many people do you talk to about your business/product each day?

What would you be willing to give and sacrifice to succeed? I hope the answer to that questions is "whatever it takes," because I can promise you the end result is worth the sacrifice. So how can you tell if your prospect is going to succeed or fail from the very first phone call?

Easy...Ask them this question: "So which books are you currently reading on self-development and marketing?" Anyone who is truly serious about being a successful entrepreneur will be able to name at least one book they are reading right now.

My suggestion is that you change your mindset today and get involved. Take responsibility for your personal success and set aside the excuses that have kept you in that JOB for so many years.

Start increasing your value to the world by increasing your knowledge and abilities. Only then will the world be willing to pay you back with freedom and wealth.

Dealing with negative people isn't uncommon no matter what you do for a living. However, when you're starting your network marketing, MLM or home based business there are bound to be tons of negative comments.

"Oh that'll never work for you", "Don't you know that's a scam", "You're wasting your time and money". I'm sure you've probably heard all these already and if you haven't you will. There are a few reasons people (as a whole) are so negative about network marketing. I'm going to lay them out for you so you'll know what to expect or how to deal with the negative people in your life and you won't let them effect your success.

Most of us have had people tell us that we can't succeed all of our lives. "Why would you want to try out for cheerleading your not _____ enough?" You can fill in the blank with smart or pretty or perky or thin or whatever you want to fill in the blank with! You'll never do that or why do you even want to try, we've all heard those exact words or similar phrases all of our lives. Unfortunately those words have stopped many of us from accomplishing goals that were within our reach.

The scams. Let's be honest here. Yes, there are scams out there. Yes, they will take your money and promise you all kinds of things and they won't deliver those things. However, there are also a lot of really great businesses out there. Check a company out before you join. How many years have they been around? Scams don't stay in business for long. Finding a business that's been around for several years is a pretty good indication that it's a solid honest company. If you know someone who's been mislead by a company or scammed they could be especially negative about your home business. Don't let other peoples bad experiences mess up your chance for success. If you know you've got a solid company you have nothing to worry about.

Past failures. Friends and family who have been a part of other network marketing companies and failed can also be negative. Ask yourself this question though. Why did they fail? Was it because they chose a bad company? Or was it because they didn't put any effort into it. Signing up for a network marketing business and not working it is insane. Sadly, I see people do it all the time! There isn't a business out there (that's a real business) that requires no work. It also requires time. "Well I tried that thing for a couple of months and it never worked for me". Two or three months is nowhere near enough time to invest in a business to see any real results. Get rich quick schemes never work, ever! Everything takes time and energy and if you're not ready to invest both of those then you're not ready to start your own business. Again, just because someone you know had a negative experience in the past doesn't mean yours is going to be negative too. It's all up to you!

Limited mindset. There are so many people out there who just refuse to step outside the box and realize that there is more to life than punching a clock. For some people the idea of owning your own business or playing by your own rules is just absurd. I'm not going to change it and you're not going to change it. For some people the idea of living an extraordinary life is just too far out there and will never seem real. It doesn't mean that these people are bad or that they don't have your best interest at heart but listen to me, don't listen to them!! It's as simple as that. It may sound harsh and I promise you I am not saying this to be mean, but listening to broke people about how to make a fortune is insanity! Please don't make the mistake of letting someone take the wind out of your sails before they even know anything about your business.

Let's face it. Negative people are always gonna be there. But knowing how to deal with them will make all the difference. Don't get angry with them. Just keep on lovin' them and know that at the end of the day they'll see the results of your hard work. Trust me when that happens, they'll come around!

"Oh, you're going on a cruise, do you need somebody to carry your bags"?

Working from home in today's internet age is more competitive than ever.

If You're to win in today's online world, you have to do something other than sell your company or opportunity. You've got to sell yourself!

See, like it or not, people want to work with leaders. More than any company, opportunity, product, or comp plan, people really just want an honest outgoing person that can show them the ropes.

They want someone who can provide them with the results they're looking for, and someone that has a genuine interest in their ability to succeed.

The best way to become that person is to increase your knowledge and skills when it comes to building a home business.

How, you ask? You learn skills other people don't know or are unwilling to learn themselves.

You don't need to become an expert at everything, just pick your own nitch. For instance, you just need to have something to offer your prospects.

This could be anywhere from knowing how to advertise on google, to lead generation in general, to talking to prospects on the phone, to writing ads, etc. It doesn't matter. It can even just be your willingness to help them if... (Which gets me to my next topic)

What if I'm not an expert at anything?

The answer to that question would be to leverage the success of successful team. Join a team with a group of leaders, and a team with a proven marketing system.

Because, people will join you for two reasons and two reasons only...

1.) You are a leader that they believe can help them.

2.) You have a proven marketing system that they feel they can benefit from.

That's it! If your part of a dud team or you don't have any special skills to offer, you are dead in the water!

The good news: you can change both of those elements.

If you're not on a winning team of top income earners, go find one and join them. If you don't possess any unique skills, buy a few courses and learn them.

It's because of the fact that I've spent THOUSANDS on books, courses, training, and seminars that people contact me to join my business.

I call my prospects once simply to introduce myself and make sure they have my information. After that, the ball's in their court.

I don't chase anyone. If someone wants to work with me, they have to CALL ME. And it's all because I took the time to invest in myself.

Is it a little work? Of course. Is it well worth it? You bet.

Because, in the end, people don't join a business - they join you!

The internet can be a tricky place.

If you've ever tried to generate your own leads online for your MLM or home business, you've no doubt found yourself dishing out obscene amounts of money, or just flat out confused.

And that's ok. The important thing is that you're here now, and still willing to find out what works. So lets dive in...

I'm going to walk you through the process I use to bring 40-60 quality prospects to me on a daily basis.
Now I'm going to try and explain this process as best I can in the short period we have together, but my advice would be- that you find a mentor that has the results and knowledge you're looking for.

Ok, so let's begin...

*First, you need to determine your purpose for generating your leads. (Your current opportunity, your own bio page, an affiliate product, your own newsletter, etc.)

*Second, you need to design and put up a lead capture page that's relevant to your offer. (This is a one page website that offers free information in exchange for your prospects information.)

Your capture page may be put up by you or you may use one from a system another leader provides. For example, I put up my own capture pages but also offer my team a few different capture pages with built in email autoresponders that are already set up for them.

Oh, by the way, don't EVER use a capture page provided by your MLM or network marketing company. They don't work!

After they opt-in to your capture page, they are re-directed to the website of your choice. This can be your personal website, your opportunity overview, or some generic "how-to" information.

*Third, you need to decide which advertising tools you wish to use. (Google adwords, ezine ads, articles, press releases, other pay-per-click sources, etc.) -I use all of them.

After you have settled on a advertising medium you are comfortable with, it's time to place your ads.

Your ads will contain a link to your lead capture page, which is where you will drive the traffic to. As your ads run, and traffic flows to your website, your leads will start to come in!

*Fourth, as your leads come in, they will be added to your email autoresponder. It is your job to maintain your email autoresponder messages to build an ongoing relationship with your prospects.

Your emails should be following up with your prospects every two to three days. (at least once per week) As you build ongoing relationships with your list of prospects, they will begin calling you! Pretty neat huh?

*Fifth, monitor your traffic sources to see what advertising methods are paying off.

*Sixth, tend to your list regularly. Your list is only of any value if they know, trust, and respect you.

*Seventh, repeat this process.

Utilizing this process over and over will bring you hundreds of new leads every month or even every week. How hard is your business when your prospects call you to join? ...Child's play right?

But I must warn you...Knowing exactly where to place these ads, how to write them, and what to put on your capture page, is vital! These elements will determine your ability to succeed!

To describe the importance of your ability to write persuasive copy...I personally spent 5 - 10k on training for this subject alone. So invest in yourself or learn from someone that has.

Other than that, just be ready, you will experience difficulties, frustrations, and even failures along your learning curve. So hang in there. The results will be well worth it!

If you want to avoid 90% of the learning curve, and hit the ground running, find someone who's already done it, and learn from them!

Rejection stings no matter how you slice it. When you are turned down for that job you wanted or don't get the employee of the month recognition or if your sales pitch is tossed back in your unsuspecting face, it doesn't seem to be a character builder. It is rejection and it is not all that it is cracked up to be. It does however have a place and a purpose in business.

The sting that you are feeling is a motivator to work at improving the areas you know could use some improvement. Take the time and sit down with a pencil and paper and make a list of what you tend to be doing most often when the rejection happens. What you think might help to identify steps that can change it.

Any one can easily shrug off a bad day or can take it if it's the beginning of the sales pitch such as cold calling leads. When the first two say "No, thank you!" in an unpleasant fashion, you truly don't mind, do you?

It is when it gets to the twenty first time that you begin to feel a little dejected. Is it when you've begun to develop a relationship of some kind with the customers that you seem to lose the prospect?

During development in any relationship there are going to be touch and go moments. Maybe it is when you are closing the deal that you most frequently lose the prospect. This is always upsetting; having spent your time and invested your knowledge on getting the lead, working up to the sales pitch and closing the deal just doesn't happen. Of course, it is upsetting and of course, you don't like losing the investment that you've made in the person with whom you are working to develop a business partnership. It stings and it is not easy to accept. No rejection is easy to accept and the further you've come into a relationship with the person who has done the rejecting, the less you are going to like it. The good news is that you don't have to like it. Your task is to change it.

It is something that bothers you and it bothers most people who have ever been rejected in any way regardless of what they might tell you. Rejection hurts.

This is fine as long as you let it motivate you to take action on what you think you might need to do differently or how you believe you could change the outcome of those calls. When the rejection always happens at a certain point, it is time to take a long hard look at why and what we need to learn to keep it from being a cycle that we endlessly repeat in our business efforts. We also need to work on why we believe that person's rejection was so important to our efforts.

Granted, we had invested long and hard in bringing in that prospect. What made that important? Was it the funds it might have generated? Probably not. Usually what makes the rejection more difficult to cope with is that we believe that the person's rejection is not just a rejection of the business we offered them or the product we were selling. But in some basic way, it is a rejection of who we inherently are. However, this is not always true. Usually it is just what it is - a rejection of the business because we could have presented it more fully or more attractively or with less push when it was time to close it.

Take the time to change your attitude about what the rejection really means to you and to your business. Find out what you might be doing differently, what you could be learning to change how you handle a prospect in each phase of the business development. Ask colleagues to rate you in the various parts of your pitch. Ask them to be honest, and you too will need to use that quality. Be honest with yourself about what you don't know so that you can give yourself the opportunity to learn it and to grow, both personally and in your Internet marketing business.

If you want to start your own business, one main problem is searching enough startup funds to begin moving towards their end. The trade startup cost can look to be unachievable and even daunting until you are familiar with where to look. Unluckily, business startup financial capital is one of the chief things that keep people from acquiring to begin business in the first place, or even being successful once they do manage to get to commence. But on the good side, there are several organizations and programs that specialize in helping serve businessmen overcome this problem.

Some people who may find this small industry start up money to be out of range or unreachable, banking establishment just add more to their worries. Many banks will not like the idea of helping a new enterpriser get small industry startup money until there is a current record of some success achieved. Also, banks do want a foolproof industry program, which can be challenging for someone who is starting his small business for the first time. Fortunately, you have other ways to search for business startup capital.

Business startup funding for small business is not only a hindrance in the way of an enterpriser from starting a trade, but also can obstruct growing of a new enterprise. On top of being a problem at the start, having limited startup funds can also make it difficult to employ employees or get sufficient stocks. Enterpriser can solve these issues by searching for various sources in finding enough startup funds to be able to implement their business plan.

New trade seekers can also decide to apply for several companies that are offering small trade loans to aid people get the necessary startup capital they demand. There is one good company which is called "American One", offering unbarred loans for assistance to small entrepreneurs for starting their business. They specialize with business startup cost and understand the hardships of trying to set it up and they work hard to make the procedure simple and easy.

Some entrepreneurs seek out business partners to assist them with their small business startup price. An investing partner can supply you with the essential assistance needed for a small trade startups. They can run as "silent partner" where they just contribute their investment money and then have their commission paid based on the partnership agreement. Other investing partners are more than involved and might aid in the operation of the trade in order to ensure that their business investment is profitable and well managed.

Since small trade business is really the backbone of world economic system, several government authorities offer a mixture of programs to aid startup business organizations become successful in their endeavor. This is important since small industry startup investment value is a primary ground that most clever people with superb ideas do not get their trade started. Banks can be unapproachable to small industry businessmen, but they also have other options such as functioning with companies who build the procedure easier and less stressful for businessmen. As an event, many individuals have gotten their dreams true and achieved successfully by operating and starting their very own small business.

Knowing why you're working your home business is just as important as how to work your home business. Don't believe me? I know it sounds like a way out there kind of statement, but it's true. The very first thing you have to do when starting your MLM, network marketing or home based business is find out why you're starting your business. Lets face it, if you don't know why you're doing it you are much, much, much more likely to throw in the towel and give up. Now that we've established that you need a why, here are some tips to finding yours.

Make it personal. This is the number one rule in finding your why. If it's not personal it's not going to motivate you in the same way. Yeah sure, we'd all love a Lamborghini and a penthouse in Manhattan. But, that's not personal for you. It's also a dream that is so far out there for most people that it's easy to shrug off and say yeah that's never gonna happen for me so I'll just forget it. What you want is something that's real to you, something that makes you feel something. It could be anything from wanting to spend more time with your parents to never wanting to miss a single little league game to having more time to volunteer at church. Find something that affects you emotionally, and you will be much more likely to stay the course when you talk to somebody who just doesn't get it!

Make it specific. If one of your goals is to buy a new home for your family, great! What will that house look like? How big will it be? How many bedrooms? Bathrooms? Imagine everything from the wallpaper to the flooring. Basically make it as real as possible to you. So real that you could close your eyes and take a tour of your new home if you wanted. If one of your goals is to take a great vacation with your family ask yourself, where do we really want to go? How long will we want to stay? You get the idea. The more specific your dreams are, the more real they become in your mind and the harder you are willing to work to make those things happen.

Put it on paper. Having all your goals in your head is great but it's not concrete enough. Take a piece of paper and literally write down the reasons why you're working your home business. Then, when things get rough (and they will get rough) you'll have something to physically look at to remind you of why you're working so hard. I recommend you write down 20 reasons to start out. Some of them can be bigger than others of course but remember to make them all as personal and specific as possible. After you've written your why down on paper it's also great to have pictures around you to give you that extra motivation. Have a sketch of your dream house on your bathroom mirror. Get pictures of your whole family together and put them up there as well. If one of your goals is to be debt free have a picture of a credit card being cut up. This may seem a little silly at first but trust me it works!

Working your home based business isn't always going to be fun. There are going to be obstacles, but if you really know why you're doing it you'll make it through to the end. I hope these tips helped you. Put them into practice immediately and start seeing the difference it makes in your business right away!

Here is something that you do not hear to often, network marketing is a profession. It takes effort for you to achieve any success. It takes time to see any results. Doctors and lawyers need years of training before starting, but network marketers can achieve success within their first year with focus and consistent action.

Ask yourself, why you are looking to get involved in a network marketing program? Your answer to this simple question will determine how far you go and how successful your home business becomes more than any other reason. If your reason is powerful enough than every challenge you face is when your why, which is your reason to succeed, will give you the determination to keep going and persevere.

What motivates people to get involved in network marketing?

Fact #1. The majority of people are not happy with their current employment.

Fact #2. The majority of people are not happy with their income or the amount of free time that they have.

Fact #3. The majority of people spend more time at work then with their families.

Fact #4. The majority of families still struggle even with two incomes.

Fact #5. The majority of children under 3 years of age spend most of their time in child care.

Fact #6. The majority of people get laid off before they can retire.

What are some of the road blocks that you may face when you join a network marketing company?

1. How to recruit new members without spending a fortune. Research. Only join a company once you know that they will offer resources, such as a website, literature, and other marketing tools to help you find members without spending allot of money. Expect allot of help from your sponsor. Determine before joining whether your upline sponsor is actively working with their downline by providing marketing tools and by just being available to answer questions.

TIP: Keep in touch with everyone that you personally sponsor. Do this by email or phone. Try to keep them all active. If they are not active, then do not waste your time on someone who just is not interested.

2. The newness of network marketing concepts and terms may be overwhelming at first. Spend time learning about the network marketing business as well as the company that you are going to join. The best way to combat confusion is with knowledge.

TIP: Learn all you can about network marketing. Do your research and find a company that you feel passionate about, and before you know it you will have earned your financial freedom.

3. No upline support. When a person joins a new program they need a lot of help to get started.

TIP: What should you look for in a sponsor? You must understand that there are sponsors and then there are recruiters. A recruiter is only interested in getting as many people as possible in their downline. A real sponsor understands why people join their team and they help them to achieve a long term plan through focus and commitment.

4. Going from one network marketing program to the next. Find a good company, establish a plan, set goals and then work it until you make progress. To often people do not give a program enough time to work, they move from one thing to another looking for that quick success.

5. Generating leads. Everyone needs good leads to contact to help build their business. There are many ways to get leads online without having to pester your friends and family.

TIP: Do not spend allot of money and time on a marketing method that is not working. Test. Find out what works and what does not. When it works, stay with it!

6. Choosing a company that is not financially sound and well established. You must feel good about the company and the products you will be promoting.

TIP: Concentrate and understand the business itself and know the money making potential as well as how the company pays.

7. It takes time! Any business takes time to get started and turn a profit, the same can be said for any network marketing company.

TIP: It can take several months, if not longer for much of anything to start happening. You must find leads, get members and give your team a chance to grow!. Set in your mind that you are going to not give up for at least one year.

8. What happens if your company suddenly gets into trouble and is no more? Anything can happen, so be prepared. Never keep all your eggs in one basket.

TIP: Try and build your first level as soon as you can. Then your income will cover the costs of your membership. This may take a little effort, but with online marketing, it can be done. Once you show your first level how to do the same, you will be earning a decent income and can move on to another opportunity. Remember that joining a bunch of companies with out building a good, solid team first will only lead to failure.

One last TIP: Stick to the methods that work best for you! If it works, then just keep doing it.

With the help of your upline and some savvy internet marketing techniques you can recruit new prospects without spending a fortune. Do a lot of research, discover what works for you, and then teach your downline. Within no time not only will you be successful but so will your team!

If there was one single business to recommend as a single way to make money online, the Wellness Industry would be winning it all the way.

Though it is not an easy business to do, I choose this as the preferred one. Selling vitamins and health related products, and selling health supplements is very competitive and this business is for serious people willing to devote more than just two hours a day. But it is a very lucrative business field, for those who are enthusiastic and prepared to put in the effort.

Wellness industry deals with real human beings, with real problems and needs. You should always be available to your customers by phone, in person, or even at the very least by email to answer their queries and clear their doubts. You should be sensitive to your clients needs and be prompt to their questions. Your clients should have a good feeling doing trade with you. You should strive to provide constant training, support, and also if you have a distributor network, then support and help to your distributors and they will go a long way to ensure a long and profitable wellness business.

Here are some of the reasons why I presume the wellness or health industry to the number 1 choice for entrepreneurs online.

1. Health and Wellness Products accomplish a Basic Human's want. Fitness and Health is a #1 worry for many individuals - or even food. If you are not as fit and healthy, it can make you feel down and miserable. Many people will pay you their last penny if they can genuinely find something which can give relief to their suffering and pain.

2. Health and Wellness Products are Consumable.
Unlike most other products, like digital products that can be sold only once to a client, healthy supplements, vitamins, and medical prescriptions require regular monthly re-orders. Once individuals start to use them and see its benefits, many times they will continue to use them for a long time. If you are treating your clients properly, they will buy supplies from you week after week, providing you with a regular income and a stable source of earnings.

3. Your Profits Grows Exponentially.
Most wellness opportunities also involve building an organization, every product sale actually INCREASES your potential for future income by growing your organization of customers and potential distributors purchasing every month.

4. Wellness Business Opportunities give us a "Feel-Good" Factor.
One important reason why people are doing business in the wellness industry is because it gives them a feel-good factor. It really feels nice when someone writes or calls, telling you how amazing your products make them feel.

5. Need for Fitness, Wellness and Health Increases with Age Wellness opportunities are very much right to our seniors since they have the prospective to accomplish all their wants- ranging from economic security to superior health & individual communication. Lastly, running a wellness business empowers you to take steps to develop your own fitness and health.

Although network based marketing has been called an MLM pyramid scheme by many, people who have the right mindset and desires have been able to start and maintain multi-million dollar network based marketing businesses.

What happens to most people is that they are attracted to MLM by false or exaggerated marketing. They quit after a few months and think all network based marketing opportunities are pyramid schemes.

They heard someone speak at a seminar who just quit their job and made $22,000 in their first 30 days in the business. Or they were attracted to the opportunity by another network based marketer who told them that MLM is easy, part-time work that would make them thousands a month in no time etc. If you are a smart network marketer or business owner, then you know what a load of crap all of that get rich quick stuff is.

90% of network marketers have the wrong mindset going into the business and are expecting immediate results with little effort. That is why they all fail. Then, to justify their failure, they go out and tell everybody they know that network based marketing is a pyramid scheme. This is how MLM has gotten a bad stereotype over the years.

If you want to be a successful network based marketer then you should follow these mental guidelines:
* Thoughts are things so always think positive. If you have a negative thought, stop yourself and replace it with a good one. Always envision success for yourself and your business
* Make very specific goals for your network based marketing business
* Be determined and stay focused on achieving those goals no matter what it takes
* Don't listen to the people who say your business is a MLM pyramid scheme
* Learn as much as you can about how to market and run your MLM business successfully from successful people.
* Be persistent and never give up
* You are a professional business owner so: look, act, talk, and listen like one

What's ironic about most of the people that give up on network marketing is that they go right back to working in a corporate environment. A corporate environment is structured just like a pyramid, but unlike network marketing, people are stuck at the bottom of a corporation's pyramid, with no way to the top.

In most corporations you have a CEO at the top, other high executives right below him/her, and then you usually have another few layers of presidents, vice presidents, and assistant vice presidents of different departments. Within each department there are multiple levels of management and assistant management. Finally, you have supervisors and regular employees of the company.

As you can see, corporate environments are multi-leveled too, except the top positions are reserved for people who were born there. The income variation within the corporate pyramid is staggering and, unfortunately, no matter how long or how hard the people at the bottom work they will never even come close to living the lifestyle of the guy at the top.

Are you seeing my point? The corporate pyramid is one that locks you in with little room for advancement from level to level, while the people at the top of the pyramid are living the high life making millions off of the efforts of their managers and employees. Now, based on the info above, which is more of a pyramid scheme, network based marketing or the corporate job environment?

Network based marketing is more rewarding than the corporate scheme because your income is unlimited. You get rewarded by how smart you work, you can make money while you are sleeping, your business can double or triple in size and income year after year. You can travel and work when you want to.

Basically, you can have and do whatever it is that you want (financial freedom). You just have to follow the mental guidelines laid out above and learn a good network marketing business plan and stick to it until you are successful.

The next time someone tells you that network based marketing is an MLM pyramid scheme, ask them what they do for a living and explain to them the true structure of their job.

So you just started your home based business... great! Working from home is a great way to be in charge of your own life and make the kind of money you've always dreamed of. One of the best things about owning your own business is you can work when you want to work and relax when you want to relax. However, one of the worst things about owning your own business is you can work when you want to work and relax when you want to relax. Confused? Let me explain. One of the number one reasons people fail in network marketing or MLM (or whatever you want to call it) is because many people don't want to treat it like a real business. It IS a real business!

If you owned a McDonald's but never bothered to come to work or hire employees you wouldn't make any money. In fact you'd be losing a lot of money. Same is true with your business. Don't make the common mistake of investing in a business.. paying the monthly fees.. and then doing nothing to help it grow. Work your business like you would a "traditional" business and you'll see results much much faster!

Having set hours for working your business is a great way to start. It doesn't have to be 9-5 Monday through Friday, but it does have to be consistent. Sometimes you may have to miss your favorite TV show or forgo a night out with the guys/girls but it'll all be worth it in the end. So TiVo the show and call your friends to reschedule because when it's time to work, it's time to work! Trust me, your friends will understand when you're able to work your business on the beach somewhere and they're still stuck in their cubicles.

Don't be a secret agent!! I can not stress this enough, if you've got a business promote it! Unless your last name is Bond and you happen to have a license to kill you need to let everyone you come into contact with know what you are doing for a living. And I mean everyone. Especially your friends and family. It's so sad when I see people spend hundreds of dollars on advertising for their new business but they won't share it with the people closest to them. If you believe in your business don't be ashamed of it.

My final advice is to dress for success, or fake it till you make it. No you don't have to run out and buy a $900 suit from Armani. Take the clothes you already have and make sure they look as nice as possible. Shine your shoes, wear your favorite tie, make sure your suit is well pressed and looks nice. Think about who you would want to be a business partner with. The guy with the wrinkled shirt who looks down at his shoes when he talks to you, or the guy who looks put together and talks with confidence? You don't have to drive a Benz or wear a Rolex to look confident and successful. Just be the most put together confident version of yourself you can possibly be and people will be drawn to you. After all, confidence is everyone's best accessory.

I hope you'll read these tips and take them to heart. If you do, and you're willing to work hard for as long as it takes, I know you'll find the success you want from your home based business. Remember that it's not going to be a sprint, it's a marathon baby. Nobody is perfect when they start out. Just develop simple disciplines and work on them everyday with consistency and you'll get to the end of the race with more confidence, time and money than you ever dreamed of.

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

When I started my home-based network marketing business, I fully bought into the "system" that came with it. You know the "system", make a list of 100 people you know, contact them all and talk to them about joining the business with you. If they are not interested in joining the business, they'll at least become good retail customers.

The idea behind this part of the plan is that a good portion of the people who know you, love you, and/or trust you will quickly see the benefits of joining the business with you and together you will all become wealthy running your own home business network marketing empires.

The other part of the plan is to tell anyone that comes within three feet about the business and why they should join. Through this part of the plan, simply talking to enough people will result in success.

I believed this wholeheartedly and tried to follow it.

I made my list of 100 people and narrowed that down to 20 hot prospects and then narrowed that list down again to the top 5 prospects. I set up meetings and started making calls trying to set up meetings.

By the time I had been in business for three months, not one person I knew, love, or trusted had joined the business with me despite the fact that I had followed the system I had been taught. In fact, a couple of these people were put off by the entire approach, thinking that I was trying to get them involved in a pyramid scheme (despite my thorough explanations of why the business is not a pyramid scheme).

So after three months, the point where 97% of network marketers quit, I had three clear options:
a. Quit and prove all the doubters right.
b. Keep working the same system.
c. Find another way to become successful.

In considering my options I analyzed why my company's system wasn't working for me. After revisiting my list with a more critical eye and considering the reality of my life, I reached a few conclusions:

1. Lack of Resources: Not everyone on my list was someone who had the resources to start a home business. Even though the start-up and marketing costs associated with network marketing businesses are much lower than those of traditional businesses, running a business, even a home-based business, requires money and many people just don't have the money to start and run a network marketing business.

2. Non-Viable Prospects: Looking critically at the people on my list, I realized that the vast majority of these people simply weren't a good fit for this business. Most often they weren't a good fit because they either: a) had no interest in starting any type of business, b) were happy in the career they had, or c) did not have the drive necessary to be a successful entrepreneur.

3. No Network: Network marketing is about marketing and distributing products through a "network" of people. Looking at those who had become successful in my company, they all seemed to have one big thing in common: a large built-in network. This network often involved a large family, a large social network, or a large network of established business contacts. On the other hand, I do not have a large family, my social network is made up a few very close friends, and a small network of business contacts. And it was not, and is not, appropriate for me to discuss a business opportunity in the context of my full time job. Without such a built-in network, most network marketers end up in the 97% who fail.

So what do you do if you want to be successful in your network marketing business?

You don't follow in the footsteps of others, you go your own way. You remember that you are running your own business and that the choice of how to run it and make it successful is ultimately up to you.

What do you do next? Here are some suggestions on finding an alternative road to success:

1. Determine Your Target Market: Look at your business critically and determine who is your real target market, both for finding other people to join your business and to purchase your products or services. These markets may or may not be the same.

2. Take Your Business Global: Network marketing systems are often very big on face to face meetings, group presentations, opportunity meetings, etc. But in today's world, you don't have to limit yourself to your local community to make your business successful. If you have a phone and email, you can reach out to a much larger pool of potential pool of business builders and customers.

3. Attract People to You: Once you know who is in your target market(s), market them and attract them to you and your opportunity. You will find many more people join your business and become your customers if they have come to you as opposed to you chasing them.

4. Internet Marketing: Through websites, article marketing, blogs, etc. you can bring qualified people that are looking for home business opportunities and/or your product and service to you. Through the right type of message, you can have people come to you that are not only in your target market, but are anxious to join you in your business or purchase your product or service.

These are just a few suggestions. If you decide to employ these suggestions in building your network marketing business, be warned that you may find some resistance to such methods from your upline. But remember - you started your own network marketing business so that you could be in charge. Don't give your control over to your upline. Just because they built their business the "company system" way, doesn't mean that you have to do that as well.

On the other hand, don't completely reject the "company system." There may be times when aspects of that system fit with your current situation. For instance, you may find that a group presentation is the perfect way to introduce a particular group to your product or service. Or you may come into contact with someone who mentions that they are looking to change careers. Again, that may be the perfect time to mention your opportunity.

In the end, remember that your network marketing business is just that - YOUR BUSINESS. You decide how to run it and how to make it successful. You can take the road taught by your company, or you can take the road less traveled.

Whatever road you take, make it end up at success.

As a direct gross revenue industry proprietor, you should be familiar that recruiting new human resources is a significant method of growing your business. If you have been enrolling direct sales, people who know something about recruiting, then you should be aware that many times it's not as simple as it seems. You post leaflets in your city or town, talking to guest and party hosts, yet you still don't have the employees in place that you'd very much love to have. Do you find yourself saying "What now?" or "Where or how can I find these people" Now consider this, do you have any idea about enrolling for your direct gross sales industry online?

You must design your internet website to suit those fascinated in becoming your staff. Set up a particular part of your website devoted to visitors who desire to just find out more about your business. Be certain to include your contact info so that they can obtain more information and get answers to any inquiries they may have. Now, once you have your own direct sales group in place, you can then carry out teaching sessions online, offering teaching matter to them online, right on your site and more.

Building a website devoted to your direct sales can take in more sales. Setting up an online site can cost as little as only $25 a year and you could easily recover this petty amount. Only one employee will more than likely recoup you more than the cost of domain registration and hosting charges.

Why should you bound and overlook yourself on possibly hiring top of the line recruits just since they are not in your own approachable area offline? The potentiality in direct gross sales enrolling online is huge. Don't miss out. Here's why:

If you are taking your recruiting endeavor online, it clears your way for real serious income potential and growth in your industry. It also gives you more time to enjoy your life and bring your dream come true and attain your business goals.

Do you know what will happen to your association with your current business? They are an extremely trustworthy company which has been approximately well over fifty years, but might have no idea what your future is. If your company decided that they are no longer offering this lucrative direct sales opportunity, what happens? Your company is gone!

That's not good. I urge that you should maintain your online website separately from the company you are now working with, because it is genuinely your OWN Company and you can take full advantage of your proceeds. You can take away leads that might be fascinated in your chance and you can give them other offers through other affiliate programs or you may even want to build your own ebooks or good information products.

You may just think, this is your own business and you want to have complete and full control AND get the most out of your income.
