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.

Have you ever been to one of those MLM meetings or on one of those conference calls where everybody says how easy it is to make money in their MLM opportunity? Anybody can do this and we'll all be making a fortune in no time!

Have you ever stopped to realize that all you're doing when you say those things is setting people up to fail? When your new excited person experiences rejection and it isn't easy for them, they feel like they must be the problem.

It's working for everybody else, there must be something wrong with me.

I knew I wasn't a good salesperson.

I knew I couldn't do it, I've never been good at anything in my life.

We are destroying people that could become very successful by giving them unrealistic expectations. NO wonder so many people think MLM is a scam. When your new prospect joins your MLM opportunity and all they do is struggle, they think it's their fault!

How do you avoid "destroying" your new team members?

Realistic expectations.

Make sure they know that MLM can and will change their life, but that success doesn't happen overnight. Sit down with them and make sure that they know that they won't be rich in a month, but if they work their business consistently they can achieve the life changing success they desire.

Less than 1% of all multi level marketers ever achieve a 6 figure income. We could debate that figure all day long, maybe it's too high or maybe it's too low, but whatever the figure really is many people hate it when somebody talks about it.

Why? Because if they are one of the many people that hype MLM as their way of doing business they certainly don't want you to hear something as alarming as that.

We've been fortunate to have been successful in MLM for a decade now and we know the truth about MLM. Sorry, we forgot to mention that we were gigantic failures in every other MLM company we had ever been in.

So how did we become the former mlm loser?

Realistic expectations! This time we knew that it wasn't going to happen overnight. Nothing like a few failures to get you grounded!

This time we knew we were going to have to get better, we were going to have to grow and we were going to have to stay in a company longer than a few weeks to have real, life changing, long term MLM success.

What would have happened if we had been told the real truth about MLM before? Instead of thinking that all we would have to do is talk to a few people, we would have known that there was more to it than that.

Most people just aren't prepared properly to succeed in MLM. They could be, but we get them so high on hype that when they come down from that high the only thing left to do is quit.

Shouldn't you be discouraged that only 1% (if those figures are correct) of the people that join MLM opportunities ever make it to a six figure income?

NO you shouldn't and here's why, 70% of the people that start an MLM business will quit without doing much of anything. That's right 7 out of 10 people are going to quit in a few days, weeks or months.

Why should that make me feel good? You are absolutely in control of your life in MLM. If you will just stay in the game you can have tremendous success.

Every other MLM opportunity that we became involved in we were in the 70% of the people who quit. If you just stay in your company more than a few weeks your odds have now improved to a 1 in 30 shot at making $100,000 a year!

Staying in the business isn't enough, now it's time to realize that MLM is the greatest chance you will ever have at a better life than you're living right now. Get serious! Find a mentor, somebody that has already accomplished what you want to accomplish, and listen to him or her.

Do what your mentor says to do and ignore all the negative influences in your life!

MLM isn't for everybody. Some people are willing to give up the possibility of a much better life because they failed once, or even twice in MLM.

That just makes you normal! None of our friends who earn substantial money in MLM were successful in all the other things they were involved in. So what? That doesn't mean that you can't make it this time.

Tell people the real truth about MLM. There are no overnight MLM success stories but if you have realistic expectations and go to work, you'll be amazed at the success you will enjoy for the rest of your life.

If you are looking for the type of business that offers ongoing income, there are several
options that you may want to consider. Though most people think of network or multi level marketing when the term residual income is mentioned. These are not the only types of business that can offer ongoing income. Although it may not be the true sense of residual income, any sales oriented business that does not require in person contact can be a form of residual income.

In other words, if you have a website where customers can go and buy products they need, you have a limited form of income because the money is going to continue as long as the website is up and running and the products are available for purchase. On the other end of the scope, true residual income is that which goes on even when you are no longer around to monitor it. The most common type of business that offers residual
income is that of network or multi level marketing.

This type of business involves recruiting and training other people to join a sales distribution network that operates underneath a sponsor. Since the sponsor is paid a portion of what each person in his organization sells, once the network is running at peak efficiency, it will provide an ongoing income to each person as it escalates to the top person in the organization. The highest income is from those you personally sponsor but you also are paid from the other branches of the organization.

Although network marketing is the truest form of residual income, investments such as real estate and high level stocks, bonds and mutual funds also fall into the same category. With real estate, its much easier to see it as residual income because as long as there is a need for housing, you will have the ability to derive income from rental property. If you have enough income that you can hire someone to manage the properties you own, then you can relax and let the properties make money for you just like you do in network marketing.

Securities will vary with the market but real estate does not customarily decline in value. Unless the housing market becomes very depressed as it was in the late 1970s and middle 1980s when mortgage interest rates were hovering close to 25%, the price of real estate is not likely to decline in value. Once you have your properties and as long as you keep them well maintained, you will always have income from there and after your death, the income will flow to your family if you set it up that way. Other investments can work the same way but real estate is by far the less volatile.

Many network marketing systems are run along the same lines...find people willing to listen to your offer and then plug them into your company's system.

There is no rocket science to this process and many have experienced good to medium success doing this. The problem with many of these is there are limitations to the extent of success one can experience implementing them and many distributors tend to "hit a brick wall" at some stage during their growth phase.

In fact, this brick wall will often present itself very early on in a network marketer's career and ultimately, they'll begin to look for other opportunities and leave the company. This has contributed to a high attrition rate within the industry which has given it a bad rap.

The secret... build a system within a system. Provided one can play within the company's strict rules and regulations then the opportunities are increased in building a successful business.

The Renegade Network Marketer

A good example of a successful network marketing system in recent times is the Renegade program. Author Ann Sieg became frustrated with the old outdated methods of prospecting which have existed in the MLM business since it began.

Ann set out to find a legitimate way to attract targeted prospects into her funnel and found the answer by merging both online tactics with those used offline.

The major problem for network marketers in this business is trying to stay out of the red financially during the first year of operation. Finding a way to earn money on the front end while building your business is not easy but the answer came in the form of creating something of value for prospects during the initial lead targeting phase.

The idea of applying an affiliate-based program within an MLM program seemed a little ambitious but the Renegade system has proven that it does work and is proving successful.

It hasn't resonated too well with old school MLM'ers and has created some animosity within the industry however, surviving the first few months of any network marketing system is the key for any distributor to build a strong enough foundation to launch a successful business.

Cash flow in the initial stages will at least give a distributor the heart to continue without joining the massive number of network marketers who end up on the scrap heap during the first days. It takes time to build a successful MLM business and contrary to what many are led to believe, it also takes money!

If you are not writing blogs you are doing your network marketing business and your bank account a disservice. As an entrepreneur one of the greatest tools you have is the Internet.

Marketing methods such as blogs, allow marketers to speak to people anywhere on the web. In the old MLM business model most marketing had to be done within your geographic area by chasing people down the street like a sleazy salesman.

From Google ad words, to e-mail marketing there is simply no better automated, cost effective way of marketing your business and making money than writing blogs. Period.

Writing network marketing blogs is like any other marketing method, you have to learn how to do it properly or it is simply useless and a waste of your time. Therefore, you need to know the 5 laws of network marketing blogs in order to drive traffic to your blog, your website and to make money.

Network Marketing Blog Law #1

Offer value to your readers. People will only read your blog if you have valuable information to give to them that is written in an interesting way. You don't have to be a miracle man for them, but you need to make sure that you have something of value that you are offering because it is the only way people will read it.

Network Marketing Blog Law #2

Make sure your blog sticks to their brain. In other words, make them remember in it in one way or another.

You can do this several ways. One is using the first law and give people enough value to want to read what you have out next time. Second is to design your blog with a catchy, unique appropriate theme that they like and can't forget. Another is to add an opt-in web form so you can capture a reader's email address. Then you can develop a relationship with them by sending them your newsletter or other e-mail marketing content.

Network Marketing Blog Law #3

Make it real. Don't over stuff keywords and ads into your blog. Search engines and readers do not enjoy this optimization technique. You can achieve the best long-term rankings with the search engines by writing good content laden blogs.

Network Marketing Blog Law #4

Research the market that you intend to blog to. When you blog you have to select different niche markets that you want the blog released to. Remember that marketing is all about getting what you have in front of the right people, not the most people. Blogging is not any different.

Network Marketing Blog Law #5

Do not let your blog sit around. It does not look good when your blog disappears, you will gradually lose all traffic to your blogs and your websites. Keep up with your blogs and try to submit one for each website you are marketing at least once a month. Once a week, or daily are the best options, but it all depends on the amount of time you want to spend blogging and how much traffic you are trying to get.

As you can see, network marketing blogs are an important Internet marketing tool to master. They can drive you a lot of free, targeted traffic from all over the net, and you can get ranked with the search engines by having back-links all over the Internet. Just remember to follow the five laws of blogging if you wish to maximize your profits.

When I first started in network marketing, I just assumed that every time I dialed the phone I'd be talking to a live person. Like so many other people in this industry, I found myself unprepared, not realizing how many people do not answer their phones when an unrecognizable number calls.

Statistics show that 60%-70% of your phone prospecting will be answered by voicemail. I can say for certain, and you probably can too, that when a strange number shows on my caller ID, I do not answer it. Period. I listen, however, to the voicemail message.

When you think about it, it really makes sense. I mean, with all the bothersome telemarketers trained to keep you on the phone as long as they can, why not use any tool at your disposal to avoid them? I know I do. Caller ID and voicemail are our friends.

So, what's a real marketer to do? How do we reach our prospects, letting them know that we're not the typical annoying salesman trying to sell them something they don't need?

The first thing to keep in mind is that the phone is intrusive. You call this person when you are ready, not when they are. They might be helping little Bobby with his homework when you call, or just learned that their spouse was cheating.

Personally, I would rather get voicemail the first time I call a prospect. I find when I follow up a couple days later, it feels less like I'm cold calling. After all, this person has heard my voice, knows my name from the message I left and my follow-up email, and hasn't yet opted out.

When you finally do speak with this prospect, it almost feels like they're an old friend. They've usually had time to look over your website, are somewhat accustomed to your voice, and are in a much more receptive frame of mind, which is vitally important.

There are really only 2 objectives for leaving a voicemail message. One, as I just mentioned, is to insure that the prospect will be in a positive frame of mind when you finally do speak. Your voice, when used properly, can gradually melt the ice between you and your prospect. This alone puts you light years ahead of traditional marketers.

The second objective is to get the prospect to call you back. Honestly, this rarely happens. Still, leave your number as if you expect him/her to do so.

Finally, you must have a valid business reason every time you call a prospect. When you buy leads from an opt-in lead list, your valid business reason for your first call is obvious: The prospect requested information, and you're getting back with them.

The valid business reason for the second call is not so clear. After the first call, I usually send the prospect an email directing them to my website. I use the second call to see if they received it, and to answer any questions they might have.

I generally follow a "3 strikes you're out" policy when calling prospects. The third voicemail I leave tells the prospect I won't be calling them back. After all, they requested information, and if they can't be bothered to answer the phone or call me back, how serious can they be about building a business?

Contrary to those who believe voicemail is less effective than speaking directly with the prospect, I believe leaving a voicemail message, especially on the first call, to be far superior.

When calling a prospect for the first time, I rejoice when I hear, "Your call has been directed to an automated voicemail system."

Music to my ears.

It is a growing myth that once a company has acquired a rhythmic system of referrals, the owner of that company can just as well hang up his sales hat and coast into retirement with a never ending stream of revenue. While there is a nugget of truth to this myth as most myths, it is a gross overstatement of the facts. Yes, referrals will make your job a hundred times easier than the days of cold calling.

Its a different type of salesmanship thats called for and yes, its an easier type. It might be compared to the difference between cutting down a tree with an old rusty axe and a chainsaw. There is some work required in both situations but which would you rather do? Still, the tree must be cut down in either circumstance.

Just because you used to have to find the tree on your own in the days of the axe and now you are led to the tree by a map, does not change the end facts of the day. And without the skills needed to operate that chainsaw, you might as well be back where you started from. Likewise, without the sales skills needed to close the deal, those precious referrals might as well be numbers out of the phone book.

To begin with, you will have to sell your product and company to the potential source of the referral. If this person does not believe theres anything worth buying into, then why on earth would they want to recommend your company to someone else? And even if you do succeed in getting that important referral, its worth remembering that a referral and a sale are two different things.

Its the difference between being shown a door and having a key to unlock it. At the end of the day, you still have to close the sale. This ability to make the sale comes into play with your referral source even before you get to the referral themselves. Even if you manage to convince the source that your product or service is worth recommending, you have to go the extra mile and make them believe that you will be able to sell the referral on your service and company as well.

A source will not want to put his friend or business associate in the position of listening to a half baked sales pitch. Though the referral may not benefit the source financially, he will not want to be embarrassed by presenting his recommendation only to have his friend or associate turn down the offer. If a successful sale is made at the end of the day, it makes the referring party look good. He was the catalyst behind a friend or associate of his buying a product they obviously wanted or needed.

Sales are important in business, and it would be wise not to let your skills begin to rust just because you have a system of referrals in place. Take this advice, and you will be able to continue to build your business and create a solid network of sales.

The truth is such an elusive concept in MLM. The proliferation of MLM Gurus that make a fortune telling people how to build a downline, that have never, ever, actually built a six figure income is staggering.

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! Although that's a famous line from the movie "A Few Good Men" it applies to so many people who start an MLM business. When it comes to MLM training most people will tell you what you want to hear instead of telling you what you need to hear.

The real truth about MLM

Success in MLM, network marketing or a home-based business isn't going to happen fast enough. Doesn't that concept apply to every aspect of our lives? Doctors don't go to a Junior College for a semester or two and become doctors. Lawyers don't become lawyers in 6 months either.

MLM training has become this endless mind game of telling people what they want to hear instead of the real truth about the industry. You can make a fortune telling people who want to live a better life all this warm and fuzzy stuff that they long to hear, but it won't help them achieve success.

Here's an example, all you have to do is make friends with your prospects. Well, if that's all I have to do I'm going to make a fortune. It sounds so easy! The real truth is that you can make friends all you want, but that does not mean that you are ever going to build a real business.

Can you imagine telling your employer that you spent all day making friends? Would that work at a car dealership?

Imagine what your boss would say. I see that you spent several hours with that guy, did you sell him a car? No, but he sure is a nice guy! Let me tell you about his family and when he got laid off and when...

Please, do not misunderstand what we're saying, yes you do need to build relationships with people that decide to join your business, and while it may make you feel good to build relationships with your prospects, you simply cannot build a business that way. Do they employ that concept at Sears, Wal-Mart, Exxon or Ford?

There are a lot of people who say they want to build a business.

I really am serious about changing my life! We have heard that from thousands upon thousands of people over the last decade and more than 80% of those people find an excuse why a home business won't work for them. It's easy to say that you want to change your life, but you really find out how serious somebody is when you tell them what they have to do to become successful.

Last week we were talking with a man who has been very successful in his life. He's made a lot of money in the
past, but at 50 years old he's struggling financially and frustrated. If we had told him how easy it would be to become successful we could have signed him on the dotted line that very day.

Not so fast. We are no longer interested in signing people up, we're looking for serious people. Thankfully, we've been very successful and can afford to be selective, but the real truth is nobody should try to slam people into a business.

This man said all the right things. He's been successful and he knows what it takes to become successful and he says he really wants to improve his life. Doesn't everybody say that, or something like that?

When we started to share with him what we knew for a fact that it would take to become successful he backed off immediately. Oh well, I would never do that. I'm not going to do that. Had we taken the advice of more than a few so called MLM experts we would have spent a long time making friends with a man who clearly wasn't going to do what it took to become successful.

Perhaps, we could have bonded on the phone and felt all warm and fuzzy, but warm and fuzzy doesn't pay the bills.

Treat your MLM opportunity like a business, it's the only way you will ever become successful.

Have you ever stopped to think about why most people fail in MLM business? Why is it that some people experience life changing success and others never get their MLM business off the ground?

Certainly the lack of quality MLM training can often be the cause for failure, but why is it that some people who get great training still fail?

Belief

That's why people fail. They just don't believe that they can have success. Perhaps someday almost all people will come to the realization that MLM works, and that it can work for them. That someday will happen for you if you can truly understand and believe.

Belief #1 - You must believe in your MLM company

When you get started in MLM you probably believe in the MLM concept, it just makes sense, but a lot of people join an MLM company they will never believe in. You leave this exciting meeting and you've met people just like you who are changing their lives and it's easy to get excited. But, when that excitement wears off, do you really believe in the company you just joined?

If you don't believe in the company, you'll never talk to anybody about it, and when asked what happened to your new business you will say something like "I tried that and it didn't work".

Build belief in your MLM company by asking questions, going to meetings, talking with successful people and putting yourself in a supportive environment. Read all the literature and participate in the webinars and conference calls, immerse yourself in this new world. If you don't believe in your MLM company you have no shot at success!

Belief #2 - You must believe in your MLM company's products or services

You must be a product of the product. You've probably heard it before, but have you done it consistently? Do you know your products or services backwards and forwards because you've used them? Would you sell them to your mother or best friend?

We were able to save more than $100,000 with our service, the same service that we market for $39.95 a month. Don't you think our belief level is sky high? Nobody believes more than we do!

Sure, sales people can sell anybody anything, but most multi-level marketers aren't great sales people. People with integrity have to believe in what they're doing or they won't do it. Use the same products you're attempting to market or you won't ever achieve long term success.

Belief #3 - You must believe in MLM

This is where almost everyone struggles mightily. I'd like to believe in MLM, but all I've ever done is fail. Take it from a former MLM loser, anybody with desire and time can be successful in MLM.

Study the industry, talk to people who are living lives on their terms and you will begin to believe. Get as close as you possibly can to successful multi level marketers and ask them what has helped them become successful.

We've got friends who didn't believe in MLM until we took a 7 week vacation! Hearing about success is one thing, knowing somebody who has taken a 7 week vacation is a whole different ballgame.

Belief #4 - You must believe in yourself

Even if you totally believe in your MLM company and your company's products and believe in the MLM industry, none of that matters if you don't believe that you can become successful. Most of us carry a lot of baggage with us all of our lives.

The failures in our past do not have to predict our future, but all too often we let those failures trap us into thinking that we cannot escape. We believe that we cannot escape poverty, even though we can.

A very good friend of ours grew up in the projects on the south side of Chicago. His mother believed that she could find a better life for her children, so she moved her family, and in the process dramatically altered the lives of generations. Her children and grandchildren are different because of her sacrifice.

They are different because she believed!

We met her son and shared our belief that MLM could change his life and the lives of his children. Today our friend earns 6 figures in our MLM company, a fact that we are both thankful for.

When you develop all 4 of the beliefs in this article you will be given the opportunity to shape and change the lives of people you would have never met any other way. Prepare yourself by working on these beliefs so that when the opportunity arrives for you to play a role in life changing success in the lives of others, you are prepared.

Many aspects of network marketing have evolved particularly during the past ten years. The internet has added a completely new dimension to the industry and has virtually ensured you don't have to confine the majority of your prospecting efforts to your backyard.

Network marketing lead generation no longer means you harass friends, family and casual acquaintances. Sure, this style of prospecting still has it's place within your marketing system but you don't want to be relying on it to build your business.

Leads are the lifeblood of any MLM business; without them you remain stagnant and your business becomes like a pool of dead water. They breathe life into your downline and without a steady flow of prospects coming through your funnel, how do you you expect to build your downline?

How To Generate Leads

There are certainly more opportunities available to the distributor today to generate targeted leads. Let's take a look at some avenues you might find useful in creating an extra stream of prospects.

1. Build a blog. Blogs have become the signature of many successful people online and without one, you are getting left behind. A blog can establish you as an expert and by adding useful content to it on a regular basis, content readers can make use of, you'll quickly develop some status within your chosen field.

2. Utilize Web 2.0 tools. For example, building a Squidoo lens and adding your thoughts on network marketing lead generation and other aspects of the business and then linking to your blog. It's just another avenue to develop your expert status.

3. Find other blogs with the MLM field and read the content. When you find something worth commenting on, leave comment and your thoughts on the matter discussed with a link back to your blog.

4. Scan the various groups through Google, Yahoo and MSN and read the posts made by people. Again, if you find a topic you feel strong enough about or there's a problem someone is having with their business, leave your thoughts. You are aiming to provide a useful solution.

The last two points are excellent ways to gain some expert status but remember, don't just leave comments for the sake of it. This will do your reputation more harm than good. By making contributions which others will find invaluable and by linking back to your blog you can quickly get plenty of traffic to your site.

This is all part of the relationship building process and just one important part of your network marketing lead generation process.

You see, the upline marketer is your sponsor and he has recruited you to his home business team with the target that you both will do a success. He has a lot to give you, because in many cases it is not so a long time, when he by himself was a beginner.

Why I do underline this so much is, that a newbie has so many dangers with his home business especially right in the beginning and that an experienced upline marketer could give advices so that a newbie would be able to pass the worst wrong actions and in this way to save his motivation and budget.

1.The Best A Sponsor Could Do Is The Selection Of The Strategy.
There are an endless amount of different strategies for the home business but you just cannot execute them all. You have to select the ones, which fit to your talent, experiences and which you can then concentrate and deepen your expertise. By telling about your earlier experiences, your education and wishes, your upline gets the picture.

2. The Email Discussions Are Effective.
Your relationship with your upline marketer, your sponsor is like between a mentor and a newbie. So it is not a one question issue but a long term relationship between two home business marketers, who can both help each other. This relationship requires regular emails and enough time.

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

3.How Do You Know What To Ask?
Like in all human relations, the trust is the most important factor. Be open and be honest. Do not try to be better than you are and dont lie your business status. If your home business promotion gives a zero results and you want to make it better, explain what you did in detail and ask what you should change.

4. You Have To Stand The Critique.
It is said that the top of the stupidity is to do the same actions again but wait for the better results. If your upline criticizes you. His purpose is to help you, to increase your results. If you remember that the home business is a know how business, you will set a high value to this critique.

5. A Good Upline Marketer Is A Good Director.
Home business marketers, who have downline members, have a duty to lead the downline them. However, they cannot lead you, if they do not know the details of your internet home business. To get a taylor made consultancy, you have to ask that.

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

7. Research The Web Site Of Your Sponsor.
All marketers above you in the network market more or less the same home businesses than you. That is why it is very healthy to research these sites and find good tips for your own site. For instance articles are a great source of information.

You see, the competition is so hard that all sorches of proven ans sure advices must be used. The sponsors are one of the best ones.

Considering the type of business you own and how it is operated may call for changes in the way it is marketed. While online marketing can bring in new business from a global base, there will be times that old fashioned marketing will provide the best results. For many business owners, network marketing is another term for multilevel sales schemes and attempt to stay away from the process.

For internet businesses, network marketing is part of their success strategy. Some business have found additional success by going back to old school marketing techniques such as face-to-face meetings with potential customers. Not everyone who conducts business with your company will be comfortable doing business with someone they do not know. Whether in a business or social setting good old-fashioned handshaking can do a lot to improve your image as a business owner.

Becoming an active member of your local Chamber of Commerce can provide networking opportunities for just about any business and by being a member, those you meet may be able to help steer business in your direction. They may not be able to use your services but they probably know someone else who needs you. Additionally, most members of Chambers of Commerce have a policy of dealing only with chamber members.

If you are not comfortable in a setting with other business owners, there are plenty of other organizations that you can join such as church organizations and social clubs. While business may not be high on their list of priorities for meeting discussions, when you are introduced as a new member, make sure everyone know where you work and what you do. You can also offer your expertise as a volunteer expert in your field. Offer to speak to business groups concerning your line of expertise.

While you may not think you have anything to offer, most people that are not in your line of work will find even limited knowledge on a particular subject interesting and welcome if you can offer tips on how to get things done. For example, if you are a landscaper, conduct a meeting offering tips on how to get rid of crabgrass without using harsh, toxic chemicals to make their yard safe for children and pets.

Do not forget the corny advertising handouts. Letter openers are welcome in businesses and handing them out with your company name, web address and phone number can remind others of your presence every time they open an envelope. While t-shirts can be an added bonus for many companies, using them as handouts can get expensive. Additionally, if you do not know who is going to wear them, think about a person getting arrest and showing up on the television news wearing a t-shirt with your company name and logo clearly visible.

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!

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!

It's sad.

MLM just isn't what it used to be.
Sure, there are a few people making a couple bucks, but is it really your best choice for financial freedom?

That's what we're going to talk about here.

You'll see some of the pro's and cons going on today, so you can decide what's right for you.

So what's going on?

Well, in a nutshell, the promises of old-school MLM and life-long residual income are all but dead for the average person.

MLM used to be based on the concept, that you could work for 2-5 years and retire in style. An organization was something you could pass on to your kids and grandchildren.

That's just simply not the case any more.

Now although there is money to be made very quickly in MLM these days, the downfall is it's not going to last very long, as most distributors find their business depleting just as fast as it grew.

The average distributor quits in 90 days or less.

For most, that just simply isn't worth the effort for the tiny commissions the MLM companies are paying us.

Because their compensation plans are spread so widely, we aren't really payed on our own efforts.

The average MLM company pays out $20-$60 as a "fast start" for each new rep you acquire.

...and then they quit in 3 months, or less!

Is that worth our blood, sweat, and tears?

Is it worth the constant babysitting and complaining?

Nope.

Unfortunately, in the internet age, new MLM reps will continue to leave just as fast as they came thanks to the outlandish advertising flaunted all over the net, including on your company's own search engine results.

The competition's definitely fierce.

And trying to advertise ourselves simply isn't an option, as the advertising cost to sponsor a new rep continues to spiral upward while the life time value of that distributor continues to decline.

I guess the opportunity in MLM just isn't what it used to be.

That might explain why many of the top MLM leaders are leaving the industry in favor of a concept called G.P.T.

G.P.T. is not a company, it's not an opportunity, and it's not a product or system of any kind.

It's an answer. A solution to tiny checks, leaking downlines, and the "quick-turn" mentality that has taken over MLM.

Although, MLM is still a very popular business model, it seem to have less and less appeal to blue collar professionals who can't see themselves peddling vitamins and potions to replace a six-figure income.

As for G.P.T., it is sure to play a major role in networking from this point forward.

For years, I sang for a heavy metal band. Most of the 80's and 90's found me onstage, in rehearsal, or in the studio. My life in those days consisted of little more than rock and roll. When I wasn't playing or writing, I dreamt of rock stardom. Unfortunately, I never made it out of that dream stage.

Sure, my fellow musicians and I talked about how things would be different when we "made it," but nobody seemed to know how we would get there. We just imagined one day we'd wake up and everybody would know who we were. We'd play sold-out arenas before adoring fans. We'd be Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, all rolled into one.

We dreamed that a big-time record exec would wander into a club we were playing (they do that all the time in Southeastern Ohio ), fall in love with our vision, and sign us to a lucrative contract on the spot. Finally, we'd be rock stars.

As ridiculous as this sounds, we had an excuse: We were young and had very little life experience.

Today, however, I see many people who should know better making the same mistakes. They view success as a random occurrence. If I hear the phrase, "When I win the lottery" one more time I'll be sick. So many people, it seems, are just waiting for success to drop from the sky. It doesn't work that way.

Success follows a progression. To be a successful, you first need to define what success means to you. Is it a big house, nice car, or just earning a decent living doing something you don't despise? Everyone, it seems, views happiness and success in a different light. How will you know when you're successful?

I call this the dream stage. Unfortunately, most network marketers never progress beyond it. What's worse, is that many network marketing companies teach that it's all you need, and if your "why" is great enough, you can overcome any obstacle.

That's OK, as far as it goes. Dreaming is certainly the beginning, and no great thing has ever been accomplished without it, but there needs to be more. You can dream about being a rock star all day, but until you at least learn to play an instrument, you're not going very far.

Dreaming won't get you past obstacles any more than buying a shiny, new Porsche will get you home. You've got to drive. Sure, thinking about what you want can set you on the path to achieving. In fact, one sure way to fail is not to dream at all. Dreaming alone, however, won't do the work for you.

You must break your dream into smaller, more manageable chunks, or goals. Goals help keep you focused on what's really important. For instance, a goal of recruiting 3 new people every month stands a better chance of motivating you than enjoying a large beach house in the Bahamas.

Not to say that you should give up on, or even stop thinking about the Bahamas . Remember, your dreams are important, and can propel you into action. They are not, however, action themselves. But by recruiting 3 new people every month, you can insure that your Caribbean dream is only a matter of time.

In addition to focus, goals also create energy. Performing several smaller acts somehow motivates you to accomplishing larger, more significant goals. Your confidence builds, and suddenly the dream comes more and more into focus. Almost tangible.

In order for goals to be met, however, a certain discipline must be achieved, and priorities set. If you can't bring yourself to miss your favorite TV program when you need to prospect, you might be in trouble. Worse yet, you may be too comfortable.

Almost all changes we make in our lives stem from the pain/pleasure principle. This means that, at a base level, only two factors motivate us: Pain and pleasure.

If you want something really bad, and if you associate enough pleasure to achieving that, then you may generate enough enthusiasm and motivation to make that happen. Focusing on the pleasure of your goals can pull you toward their achievement like a paperclip to a magnet.

Pain, on the other hand, can be an even stronger motivator. For one, you can only imagine the pleasure of some future situation. The pain of your current situation, by contrast, is quite real. If this situation is painful enough, you'll do almost anything to get away from it. You will change.

If your situation is only mildly uncomfortable, you may then have to use some imagination to make it unbearable. The more pain you associate with the present, the stronger your motivation to change. Contentment kills dreams.

Think of it this way: Your dreams are a balloon. Goals, priorities, and discipline are the air that fills it. Without those, your dreams are empty and lifeless. Sufficiently fill your balloon, and watch it soar beyond the clouds.

Who Else Wants To Be A Six Figure Network Marketer

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

If you want to be a six figure network marketer you need to know some crucial questions to ask prospects in their first interview and be able to record their answers. This could reveal who will be your next key business leader in your organization.

I like to call my data collection method my prospect profile sheet. At the top of this sheet you should gather all of the general and personal information, such as:
* Interview Date:
* Name:
* Company:
* Mailing Address
* Phone
* Personality traits
* Strengths:
* Weaknesses
* Hot Button

One of the main differences between ultra successful (six figure) network marketers and other network marketers is their ability to recognize potential key prospects when they meet them. Most of the big time network marketers have one to four people in their organization that make them 90% of their money.

They do have more people than that in their down-line, but most people who do network marketing are part-timers so the majority of their down-line actually produces a smaller number of sales, when compared to the business one to four key business leaders pulls in.

So, how do you spot these key business leaders? On Your prospect sheet after the general info section you need to list several questions that you can ask each prospect. This will help you determine their abilities and potential.

In this situation, you shut up and let them do most of the talking. You are only listening, and you need to listen well because the information you obtain from them could be crucial to your success.
Make sure you write their answers down on your profile sheet so you can compare answers of different prospects and look them over later on if you need to.

The first questions you should ask are: Have you owned a business before? How long have you been in the industry? What company?

If they answer "no" to these questions then I am afraid your prospect is probably not ready for your team. I am not saying they will never be successful, but you don't want to waste your time teaching absolute beginners, you want people who know about and believe in network marketing.

If they answer yes to these questions then you want to ask why they started/wanted a home business? Make sure you get a detailed answer here.

This is a lot of what you are looking for. This is where someone reveals whether they want to make a $100 a month on the side or if they want to be Donald Trump.

A few follow up questions to ask are:
* How are you building your business? What has been your biggest challenge? Why?
* How many people are you sponsoring each week? Size of organization?
* How much money do you invest in your business each month? How much are you making?
* What is your ultimate goal in this industry? (Find out their "why." What will they use the money for?)
* Married? Have any kids? Hobbies? (Find something in common with them.)
* [their name], If there is anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to give me a call. Here is my number.

And with that, the interview is over and you have some important information to go over and compare with previous prospect interviews. At the bottom of your prospect sheet you should put a couple of follow up dates of when you wish to contact the person again, if they are worthy candidates for your opportunity.

With this information I hope you can successfully categorize and keep track of your prospects information and be able to determine what prospects could become a key leader in your network marketing organization.

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.

Something pretty "out there" occurred to me over the last year! You know, what has this guy been smoking?" sort of stuff. So for what it is worth, here is the underlying secret behind all of the little things that happened which brought me success.

It is the secret within all of the self-help books that you have probably read, but might have never really "gotten." In fact, they probably left you more frustrated then when you started.

I can relate. It took me about six years to finally comprehend this secret. Until you get this part of your life and your head where it needs to be, you will never be successful. It is impossible. You must get this right.

There is no website, marketing system, lead source, or product that will save you. If you don't get your head where it needs to be, everything else is just a waste of time, money, and efforts. Success in anything in life, including network marketing, is 90% mental, and 10% mechanical (executing the business).

This is going to sound strange. Very strange. But, here is what you really need to "get," and get fast; Everyone of us lives in a different world and different reality.

In fact, there are six billion+ realities taking place on earth right now, this very moment. Six billion! And every single one of them is different. With six billion different lists of rules for what is possible and what is not.

With six billion different perceptions of one event. With six billion different ideas of what truth, morals, and justice mean. You live in a completely different reality than everyone else. I live in a completely different reality than you do.

You make your rules. I make mine. You live by what you think is possible in your world. I live by what I think is possible in mine. There are six billion+ people, living in six billion+ realities that are all different. And each person has created the rules that define their reality, or has adopted the rules of others.

And here is the key to all of it; you have the power to completely create the rules that define your reality. And you can do it instantly. What was impossible today, can be possible tomorrow if you desire it to be. This is what God meant when he said that he would grant our every person's desire.

This is what Napoleon Hill describes in "Think and Grow Rich." You live in your own personal reality, limited by your own personal set of rules.

This is important: In any situation, the ideas, concepts, and beliefs of the person with the strongest reality will be adopted by the other party. Have you ever heard that saying that "sales are a transfer of belief from one person to another?" Well that is what that means.

When a sale is made, it means that your belief, or your reality, was stronger than the other person's, and so they adopted it. They bought what you were selling because they bought into your reality. Don't believe me? I'll prove it.

There is a remote tribe of people called the Huli living in remote areas of Papua New Guniea. Until recently, they have never been exposed to anyone or anything outside of their immediate area. They live in a world of endless forests with no other people. You and I truly do not exist.

There are no countries. There are no such things as plastic, steal, or paper. The only flying objects are birds, and man has never been to the moon. There are no governments and there is no stock-market. The two world wars never took place. Electricity, telephones, and roads do not even show up in their dreams.

They could never comprehend the sight of a beach, or open ocean. These things truly do not exist in their world. Yet you and I know they are real. We live in different realities, with different possibilities. But the Huli's reality is just as real to them, as yours is to you.

So what does this mean to you and your network marketing business? People attract others who live in realities similar to theirs. Magnetic Sponsoring is all about attraction marketing. Whether that has to do with advertising "magnetic" offers, or developing a magnetic personality that attracts others...

You will only attract people who live in realities similar to yours...this means that if you are sponsoring duds, it's because deep-down, you believe you are a dud, and that is what's coming through to others.

Why is it that some people can sponsor top tier individuals with almost no effort at all, while others continue to sponsor needy, broke people? It's easy... your reality is a reflection of the way you see yourself inside.

If you truly believe you are already successful, then you will automatically do the things that successful people do, which will automatically attract other successful people to your down-line.

You can't fake it. You can try... but you can't. All of this stuff happens on it's own, without any conscious intent or agenda. It's just your reality. It's just the "way things are." Most people try to "get successful" before they start to act successful. It doesn't work that way.

The belief has to come first, which leads to correct actions, which brings the results. And the best part, is that you're only a decision away from creating your new reality.

Entrepreneurs decide to define their own reality. They have come to understand that they have this power. They constantly create, and re-create the rules by which this world operates based on new experiences and new knowledge.

They continually expand their universe by accepting new rules of possibility discovered through reading, listening, and learning about the realities of others who have what they seek.

There are MLM business building strategies and techniques which can change your life forever in minutes. Powerful things which are already part of other people's reality. All you need to do is expose yourself to these worlds, and open yourself up to it.

Be willing to adopt the rules they live by, and do business by. And as you do, your rules will change. Things which were once impossible for you, will become possible.

New ideas will start to flood you mind. The outside world you live in will slowly begin to change as you place new rules upon it. This is what happened to me when I found books by Perry Marshall, Dan Kennedy, and Joe Schroeder.

New things, impossible things came into my world about building a network marketing business. They completely changed my set of rules and possibilities.

I made their realities mine, and in less than a year, I was making the kind of money that existed in their world. And guess what's happened since then? Newer realities have been seen... Realities where earning $100,000/mo is not even a big deal.

Where earning $1,000,000+ per month is absolutely doable... and the ability and means to accomplish these goals have presented themselves as well.

If you want to live a new life, a free life, the life of an entrepreur, you must seek out people who live in the world you want, because the bus you ride now does not stop there.

But before that, you must decide one what reality you want to live in. Define a new set of rules for what you want, you have got to hand the driver a new map with new stops.

Here are just a few of the rules in my world; in my reality: I do not fear poverty, because I will always be rich. Making $1,000,000 a month is not only possible, but a forgone event.

People like, trust, and respect me. Employees are a sad but necessary part of the world. There is no business skill I cannot master. I attract Top Tier prospects effortlessly because they can see that I share a similar reality to theirs.

For many of you, these things could never happen. You could never fathom a 7 figure income, and you could never imagine ultra-high caliber, 7-figure network marketers wanting to do business with you...well, here is the kicker. If you can not see yourself there, you will never go there.

If, your reality, your belief level, was stronger than theirs. If it is, they will absolutely buy into your world. When your level of belief about a new rule you set for yourself becomes stronger than your current belief, then your world will change and you will have whatever you seek.

But not before. Belief comes first, results come second. Define your new reality. Live it, sleep it. dream it, and your life will become it.

One of my biggest mentors in internet business, netweork marketing and personal development held a top secret meeting for 40 of the world's best internet marketers in an un-assuming hotel room in San Diego.

We're talking about the gorillas like John Reese, Frank Kern, Yanik Silver, John Carlton, Joe Polish, Mike Filsaime, the 'Rich Jerk', Jeff Walker, and Rich Schefren just to name a few.

It felt kinda like a mafia movie wher all the families gather in a secluded safe-house to hear the god father speak his peace. It was definitely an honor to be in such company.

So why were we invited to this little gathering, and why did we drop everything on our schedule to make sure we were in attendance?

Well we need to travel back in time, so when you're ready, punch the accelerator on the Delorean to 88 MPH and set the year of destination to 2001.

Six years ago, a young guy living in an un-assuming apartment in California trying to find his path in life took his first step into the world of internet marketing.

His name was David DeAngelo. Like most of us, he began by writing a little e-book and putting up a simple lead capture page.

It did well, and before he knew it, he was making a full-time income from his little internet business. Now that's where most people's internet marketing careers would begin and end. Their level of desire and ambition peaked at a few $1,000 extra per month.

But not with David. Truth be told, he's an intellectual freak show.

But the best part is that his intelligence was not graced upon him at birth "Doogie Houser" style... It was gained word-by-word and page-by-page thanks to his insatiable appetite for reading (Hint Hint).

That willingness to acquire new knowledge, combined with an expanding vision for himself and his little company would create a chain reaction of events that would lead myself and 39 others into that hotel room 6 years later and the story would be told all over the internet.

Now hop back in your Delorean and head back to the future. Today, David DeAngelo Communications Inc. has grown from his tiny apartment bedroom into an internet marketing power-house that is revolutionizing the concept of the "virtual company."

Sales of his little ebook and education courses for men on "dating" exceed $20,000,000 per year. That's more than $70,000 per day!

His little capture page has helped them build an email list with millions of subscribers. The company's view on hiring talent and company structure are revolutionary when you consider they have 80 full-time employees, without an office.

Yes, it's a $20,000,00+ company that's completely virtual and a cutting-edge example studied by Fortune 500 companies around the world.

Quite a story isn't it? Well here's where it gets real interesting... "David DeAngelo" does not exist. It's a fictitious name created by the person we're really talking about here in order to allow him to build his empire in secret.

People have been trying to discover his true identity for years, usually without success. He's never taught internet marketing, he's never held a training event or seminar on his business, and despite the fact that he's one of the most successful internet marketers in the world, you've never heard his name before on any marketing websites.

As far as anyone was concerned, he was a ghost. I had been watching and studying his team for a year or two, but met him personally for the first time in that San Diego hotel room.

I'll have to admit that I awaited his 2-day presentation with baited-breath, as he was going to reveal how he turned his little bedroom internet business into the $20,000,000 giant
it is today.

I hope it's now painfully obvious as to why the 40 of us dropped everything we were doing to attend this secret meeting with just a few days notice.

You see, despite our internet marketing success, most of us in that room were "stuck." We began as employees years ago, conjuring our businesses into reality in apartment bedroom's late at night just like he had, but few of us were truly "business owners".

We had mastered some valuable skills and marketing online, but most of us had... Never hired anyone before. Never fired anyone before.

We didn't know how to build a long-term strategy for our company. We didn't understand how to take the power of branding and positioning to the next level.

We didn't know how to tap into the massive internet marketing channels used by corporate America. And we didn't know how to recruit talented individuals that would help take our businesses to new heights.

For the most part, we we're all running one-man-shows with the help of a customer service agent or secretary, and at a complete loss for "what comes next".

In the end, it simply comes down to the fact that you simply do not know, what you do not know. So in essence, we didn't know how to take it to the next level. He did. And that weekend was a major wake-up call for everyone.

Those two days completely revolutionized my business and the tangible results will become apparent to everyone within the next 30 days. Find yourself someone who is much better at what you do than you are. Get to know and learn from them, you might become as good, if not better than they are.

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

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.

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

Ezines can be a very effective form of advertising for your network marketing or internet business, but there are a few things to take into consideration before you place an order for you ad.

When advertising with ezines the only ad you should take into consideration are "top sponsor" ads.

A top sponsor ad is a short 5-10 line ad that is placed at the top of the issue and is the first thing the readers see. When writing these types of ads, be sure that you get to the point of what the reader is going to get by clicking on your link and be sure to include the URL or your tracking URL in the ad.

When considering placing an ad with an ezine owner you must first do two things:
* Subscribe to their newsletter to see the types of information they send to their subscribers. This way you will be able to follow their format and writing styles.
* Be sure that the content of that particular ezine is related to the content that you are going to be sending them. You don't want to send out an ad about network marketing to a dating and relationships ezine.

A couple things to take into consideration: If it seems too good to be true: it is! The size of the subscriber list is not always a factor to take into consideration. For example, if an ezine has a subscriber list of 2,000 people, and the cost to place an ad is $5. You might want to find another one.

This means that the list is not that responsive to offers. But you could do a test to that list and see what happens. However if that same list has an ad price of $50, this means the list is going to be responsive.

Be sure you always track your ads to be sure you know what works and what doesn't. The same thing goes for if an ezine has 50,000 subscribers and they only charge $10 to place an ad, this means the list is not as responsive. But if they charge $100 than you will have a better response. This is not always the case but it is a good guide to follow when selecting an ezine.

We have members who generate 2,000 to 10,000 leads per month with Ezines and you can too! The key to achieving these kinds of results is simple.

You have to continually set up a pipeline of ezines.
* Step 1: Test as many new Ezine sources as you can each week.
* Step 2: Keep the ones that produce and place on-going ads with them.
* Go back to Step 1 and repeat!

By the end of 90 days, you should have a substantial lead pipeline that's generating hundreds/thousands of leads for your network marketing or internet business every month automatically.

Owning your own domain name is the fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to increase the professionalism of you and your business, virtually over-night. Understand that in network marketing, or any business for that matter, you are selling yourself.

In actuality, people are much more concerned with YOU, than they are about your network marketing business opportunity. I do not care if you have the greatest business in the world.

If you don't successfully position yourself as a leader in the eyes of your prospects, you will go no where.

With this in mind, understand that you are constantly being judged, sized up, measured, and compared to other potential up-line partners. People want to work with winners. They are attracted to leaders.

It is a survival instinct that is a part of our very DNA, and you cannot escape it. But you can also use this to your advantage! So what does all of this have to do with registering a little domain name?

Well it is simple. It's all about professionalism. If you do not even know how to register a simple domain name, how can you possibly expect other people follow you to financial freedom?

But there is much more to it than that. Having your own domain name is crucial for self-branding, tracking your advertising results, and ensuring that your prospects successfully make it to your site instead of someone else's, but after writing this guide, I realized there is much to this process than meets the eye.

Personally, I will spend hours and even days selecting the perfect domain name that meets all 5 of my exclusive criteria which allows me to find a domain that protects my brand from competition, pulls in maximum traffic from advertising, and gets listed in the top search engine rsults. (Just to name a few of the considerations I put into play).

Ok, enough of my soap-box chit-chat. I am glad you are here because we are going to completely change the image of your business in about 30 minutes, so let us get started!

95% of network marketers who actually register a domain name put very little thought into the actual domain selection process. Not me.

I will spend hours or even days selecting the right domain name because I am always thinking five steps ahead of the average business owner, and that is what I am going to teach you how to do as well.

Three reasons you need to own at least one domain name: First is the increased professionalism it gives to you. Having your own domain names does not necessarily put points in your professionalism column because it is an expected practice today.

But not having one, will definitely hurt your image.

Again, because having one is an expected practice today. Let's say that you were one of my cold market prospects and you did not know anything about me at all. I have your contact information, so I decide to send you a quick introductory email from my address which is: bigboymike429787@aol. (Not a real email address).

What would your first impression be? Do I sound like a professional business owner? A successful CEO? A leader?

Or do you picture some big college dropout making $8.00 delivering pizzas? The truth is irrelevant. I am being judged by that email address the instant it arrives in someone's inbox.

On the other hand, how would your perception change if my email address had my company name in it?

Now you are left with two options. The impression you get is going to be either positive due to the professional nature of the name, or neutral because the actual domain names themselves are neutral in meaning.

You can avoid negative stigmatisms because they are generic domains. The second advantage to having your own domain name is that you can now have a personal email address that is not dependant upon a 3rd part provider like AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite, or GMail.

If you have your own domain name, you can choose any address you would like, and the e-mail address will include your domain name.

Finally, the third advantage to owning a domain name is that you can use what is called a "redirect." In network marketing, we often use replicated website addresses or affiliate links in our businesses.

These are usually fairly long web addresses that are difficult to give out over the phone, or place in advertising pieces.

Most of the time your domain name will include numbers, phrases, and often your name. The bottom line is that it does not look professional. You are losing business just because of the web link itself.

Let me count the ways this will cost you. 1: Anytime you give someone your domain name or link with additional information in it like your name or ID number, people will automatically erase the extra part and go straight to the primary domain name just out of curiosity. It happens all of the time.

The bottom line is that you stand to lose out on that business. 2: You cannot put a website address like that in an advertisement of any kind. It means DEATH to your results.

Why? People are not going to remember the number at the end of your web address. Not only will people do exactly what I stated in #1 and leave your ID number
off so they can go to the primary site, but anyone who actually spends money on an advertisement, and does not even bother to set up a real domain name with a redirect obviously does not have a clue as to what they are doing.

Which means you will only attract leads who are even less savvy and less professional than the person who placed it. When I see an ad with a full link like that only one word comes to mind: "amateur." Which means I would not even bother responding to that ad for that reason alone.

3: You are just asking for trouble if you try and give out a long link like these to a prospect over the phone. Chances are they are going to spell it wrong or leave a piece out.

Try giving out a link like this on a conference call and you are going to lose professionalism along with all of the listeners who could not write it down correctly no matter how many times you were asked to repeat it.

URL Redirect. So like I said, the third advantage to owning your own domain name is that you can use what is called a "URL redirect", or "domain forwarding."

This simply means that you can instruct the company that is hosting your domain name to "redirect" all traffic coming to your domain (A), to site (B). This is like telling the post office to forward all of your mail to a new address because you just moved to a new home.

Instead of advertising your long link with your name, numbers and codes etc., you would instruct your hosting company to take all traffic coming to your catchy domain name (that you came up with) and have them sent to your long affiliate domain. That way you can market your catchy domain name.

Your "redirect" domain name that you come up with should have something to do with what it is you are selling. It should be easy to spell, say, write down, and remember.

If you don't have your own "redirect" domain name for your on-line business, you losing a lot of good customers and prospects to smarter competition.

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.

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.

In order to find out if you are running your business as efficiently and successfully as possible I came up with five questions for you. I ask you these five questions so you can asses whether or not you own a professional or amateur network marketing business.

1. How would you describe your lead generation and your conversion process for your network marketing or on-line business? If you, alone, by word of mouth are the only thing in your business generating leads, than I have old news for you, you aren't making much money.

One step up from that might be a business with a couple different lead sources, but the leads are still all generated with people. This business is on the right path, but they are still losing a lot of money, by professional standards. Automated will always be easier and faster than manual.

How does a professional do it? Well you should always have over five consistent, predictable, and profitable lead sources, most of which are automated.

Your conversion rate should be 80%, and most of those sales are automated, requiring little of your actual time. I want you to take a calculator out and figure out how much monthly income you could make if you were converting 80% of your leads into sales because you should be!

2. Once you have acquired a customer, how many different products and services do you have to offer them? If you only have one product or service to offer somebody, how are you going to create a repeat customer?

If you have between 2 and 10 products to offer them you are doing a little better, but that still will not create a long-term customer. That should be your goal with each client, how can I continuously provide this person with something so great they will remain a customer of mine as long as they live.

Professional marketers have at least 10 products or services to offer their clients. The relationship they establish with their customer (the relationship is everything) usually lasts at least one year, but satisfied customers stay with them much longer.

3. Speaking of the relationship, how often do you communicate with your prospects and customers? Please don't say less than once a month. If you are doing that there is not a relationship. If you are contacting them more than once a month you are doing a little better, and this is a good number for people on your list, but that haven't bought yet.

Well if they are a customer, you can bet any professional marketer will contact them more often than once a week. You don't need to question it, it works.

4. How fast has your business been growing this year? Your business should be growing at a rate of about 35%-100% per year.

If you are starting out in your fist year in network marketing most of your time should be spent learning, so your numbers might be a little lower, but if you have been at this over a year your business should be thriving and growing. The best of the best often can double their numbers year after year.

5. What is the end goal of your network marketing or on-line business? This is one most people have never though about. Well they should because why did you start something you had no idea how you wanted to finish? Well you only have a couple of options.

The first, sadly, is that your business ends up making little to no money becuase you did not follow any of the previous advice in this article and you close up shop and tell everyone you meet that network marketing is a pyramid scheme.

The second is that you plan to continuously grow your network marketing business and keep running it as long as it is profitable. Not a bad idea as long as you absolutely love your business, have tons of ideas for it, and you want to limit your income to only your business.

The third option is that you would, at some point, like to sell the business, sell part of it, or take it public. Each these options is great for you to make a lot of money, just depends on how big you want to go and how professional your network marketing business is.

Most people's businesses are the size of their thoughts and goals. Don't belittle yourself by your goals, set goals that would blow your mind if you achieved them. What is the difference between Microsoft and your local mom and pop store? Thoughts and goals.

Have you ever noticed all the different ways that people get introduced to a Network marketing business? The most common, however, is through the warm market. Most people who get introduced through their warm market never take the time to investigate the overall appeal of the company before they begin.

They simply attend a meeting, like what they see and hear and choose to get started. This is not such a bad thing in itself. Should they pause to see if the company has pizzazz, they'd stick around longer because they'll believe in the company and in their decision. So, how to do find a company with pizzazz?

Have you ever noticed how top Network Marketers who're in the process of jumping ship to another company take the time to know that company? Well, they may be a little different because they're usually bringing a team over with them and they want to be sure they're making the right decision.

Anyway, a company with pizzazz will allow any representative, old or new to have access to the company head quarters and founders. This means that you can do what the heavy hitters do. You can fly out to company headquarters and have a chat with the founders. You also get a chance to tour the facilities and see if it's a fit. Don't expect the big behind the scenes incentives that the heavy hitters get, though. LOL.

Network Marketing companies with pizzazz are up with technology. This means that they have replicated websites for representatives and a warehouse from where customer orders are processed and shipped. Do you want a garage or closet full of lotions and potions? I didn't think so.

Be sure that you never have to deal with the inconvenience of inventory. Believe it or not, there are still many Network Marketing companies with distributors who have to stock up on products and try to sell them on their own. Remember the Amway days? Aren't we far, far away from those times? If you don't mind stocking up, then this won't bother you. But, I'm sure the marjority of network marketers would rather not deal with inventory.

When a Network Marketing company is growing rapidly, the level of pizzazz is very high. It attracts a lot of representatives who want to capitalize on its growth and make some serious income. The bottom line for anyone is the money. No matter how much you love the products or services, at the end of the day, it's the amount of moolah you take home that counts.

You can check on company growth obviously by looking at the financial records of the company. You can also check to see how many people attended the last 3 to 5 company national events. You'll definitely see a growth pattern there.

Watch out for critical mass. This is a time in the company when a new company takes an upward curve and makes a lot of money in a short period of time. You want to position yourself before critical mass, build a good size organization and then capitalize on critical mass. That is a cool, cool, thing.

Anyway, no matter how you get introduced to a Network Marketing or MLM company, be sure to find out its level of pizzazz before jumping in. You'll be glad you took the time to check it out. After all, if you were investing a hundred thousand dollars into a business opportunity you would do your due diligence, right? Well, your Network Marketing business is no different. It is a multi-million dollar business, so treat it as such right from the get go.

It has been reported on CNN that a new home business starts up every 60 seconds in North America, and most are network marketing related!

There are two options for finding leads for your network marketing business.

1. Lead generating company. You can buy leads from a company, but you really never know how current they are or if the leads are valid. Before buying any leads ask a few questions. How old are the leads? What category or area of interest do they fall under? How many times have the leads that you are buying been sold? Most importantly, are they verified? Make sure that these leads are interested in what you are contacting them about. You do not want to contact someone who has no interest in your offer!

TIP: Sometimes older leads are better. Think of it this way, a fresh lead has probably seen hundreds of opportunities in a short period of time. But if a lead is not so fresh yet has not found that opportunity then they may be still interested. Do not avoid cheap leads, sometimes they may be the best leads.

2. Get your own leads. The best way to get good, interested leads is to find them yourself. You can do this through your website or by advertising. One idea that really makes it easy to get leads is to offer a newsletter relating to your business. Set up a subscribe link on your website and start collecting leads. Another idea is to set up a lead generating survey for your website. Let your visitors tell you want they think of your site while leaving their contact information. These are leads that you know are interested in your business since they came to your website. You can then call them and thank them for taking the survey while mentioning your business.

TIP: Contact any lead within 24 hours. People change their minds or move on to something else very quickly. So move fast. People expect a quick response.

Before you spend your money on any leads it is important that you understand that all leads are not created equal. You can save alot of money and give your business a boost by knowing and understanding that there are three distinct types of mlm leads:

1. Targeted, high quality leads. Think back before you found your current home business; chances are that you were a high quality, targeted lead. You probably actively searched for your business on some search engine, found an interesting website and then requested more information. Guess what the definition of a high quality lead is? It is the result that comes from the proactive search on the part of a prospect. It is pre-qualified and self-generated, thus making it the best type of lead for your business.

2. Direct response generated leads. Unlike the above leads these people probably were not actively searching for a home business opportunity but they may have spotted your ad or website while looking for something else and then contacted you for more information.

3. Cheap, unresponsive leads. These leads are usually not very good because they have been used way too much. But if you do not have a big advertising budget, then by using large quantities of cheap mlm leads you may find a small percentage of people that are currently looking for another opportunity.

Massive results come from taking massive action over a specific period of time.

Before buying any leads first ask yourself what type of marketing you are doing. It is important that you have the right type of leads for your campaign. It is also important to know how you will initiate contact with any leads, through email or phone? It takes time and effort to convert leads into members.

The number of leads is not as important as the quality of the leads. You can maximize your time and effort by finding leads that bring results.

How do you know whether a lead is high quality?

- How often has the lead been sold?

- Have they been contacted concerning your offer or program previously?

- How old is the lead? The fresher the better.

- Are they guaranteed?

- A lead may not convert, but you should be able to talk to the right person.

TIP: Contact your upline sponsor and find out what leads they have used successfully.

One thing to remember about leads is that most of them do not want to be sold on any business opportunity. They do not care how great your company is or how wonderful the products, they really want to know what's in it for them!

You are not in the business of convincing people. If someone joins your team, it is because they are actually looking. The key to building your network marketing business is to attract people who are actively seeking a business opportunity.

Keep it simple and only do what you know will work.

Struggling in your network marketing business? Don't think that you're alone. The attrition rate within the industry is well documented. Some 95% of people will give up on their MLM business within the first three months.

Does that make you feel better?

Staying motivated and maintaining faith and belief in your business is preached over and over again yet most don't get it. One failure and there looking for the exit sign but for successful network marketers, this is more of an encouragement and they know it's going to get them closer to their ultimate goal.

How To Stay Motivated

The more failures you experience the closer you'll get to a success. But how do you stay motivated enough to press on and get over the next next hurdle?

Read and listen to motivational material. It's one of the main constants of the network marketing business which hasn't changed since this industry was born and the first distributors ventured out to build their empires.

Motivational material is a tool of the business. While lead generation tactics and strategies have evolved over time and the old archaic methods are gradually being replaced by more targeted methods, the game of motivation hasn't changed.

The Great Motivators

From Napoleon Hill and Jim Rohn to Earl Nightingale and Jack Canfield; to energize your belief and faith levels apart from keeping your eye on your end goal, you need to be getting a dose of these masters each and everyday if you want to get over the failures you experience.

The problem is, most don't make the time to listen to material on a daily basis and consequently, their belief levels quickly dissipate. No, listening to these people on a daily basis won't be responsible for building your network marketing business alone, but incorporating it into your overall strategy will.

Just as a football coach needs specialist players in specialist positions who perform their tasks for the good of the team, so will the motivational stuff you get on a daily basis form part of your overall team strategy.

If you are trying to build an MLM business without it then you'll most likely keep spinning your wheels. When you experience a failure such as a hot prospect turning cold on the idea after giving you the impression they were ready to join your team, there is nothing more uplifting for your spirits than listening to a motivational tape or CD.

It tends to put things back into perspective for you and more importantly, for your network marketing business.

You mean to tell me that Rachael Ray can teach me MLM? The Food Network's Rachael Ray isn't doing MLM training, but if you know her success story you'll quickly realize that she can teach us all how to become more successful network marketers.

Success doesn't happen overnight.

Rachael Ray had been in the kitchen for more than 25 years before she convinced a publisher to meet with her. All she asked for was help. She was smart enough to know that she didn't have a lot of leverage, but she knew that her idea was a good one.

When we start our MLM business we don't have any leverage either, but we fail to realize that by asking for help, we may be speaking to somebody who does a lot more than just help us. It's doubtful that if she had made the pitch over the phone that she would have ever been published. Whenever you can meet face to face, do it and don't pitch your MLM business over the phone.

Enthusiasm pays off.

It's amazing how many people act so bored with their MLM opportunity. We can't help it that we've always been enthusiastic; to us it just seems a lot more enjoyable being excited than being bored. It's an undeniable fact that you'll attract a lot more people if you're fired up all the time instead of being MR. or MRS. doom and gloom.

Rachael Ray is about as enthusiastic as anybody you'll ever meet, and yes, amazingly enough it annoys some people, but her enthusiasm is powerful and magnetic. Are you powerful and magnetic?

Being enthusiastic doesn't cost you a dime, but it can make you a fortune!

You don't have to be anything other than yourself.

So many people think that they have to be somebody they aren't to be successful in MLM, but you don't. Make sure you understand exactly what we're saying... you can be you!

It's important to understand that this doesn't mean that you shouldn't work on improving your skills, and becoming a better you, than you are right now. However, you don't have to be a great public speaker or the greatest recruiter in the world.

You don't have to give up your principles and be a snake oil salesman either. You can be tremendously successful in MLM and still be a person of integrity. In fact, you should never sacrifice your principles trying to become successful. Be honest and be real.

You've just got to do, what you've got to do!

When Rachael was struggling she did whatever it took to become successful. When you want what you've never had, you must be willing to do what you've never done!

Did you know that at one point in her life she was doing cooking presentations in grocery stores? So, how does that relate to your MLM business? Do you wear a button or put out flyers?

People fail in MLM every day because some things are "beneath" them. When you really want to be successful, you'll do things you never thought you'd do, but where's the shame in that?

Do you think Rachael Ray regrets doing cooking demonstrations in grocery stores?

Love what you do and you can live a tremendous life.

Watch 30 minute meals one time and ask yourself, does she look like she's having fun? She loves every minute of it!

You may not love the very beginning of your MLM business. Sure it's hard and you're probably clueless, but who cares? Are your goals big enough to keep you from quitting?

Every now and then we think about the struggle to be successful in MLM. It seemed awful back then, but now that we make enough money to do what we want every day of our lives it sure was worth it!

Learn to love the process of prospecting. Enjoy what you're doing and don't let the turkeys get you down. Send 'em a postcard when you take your dream vacation. Lighten up, MLM isn't brain surgery!

Don't worry about your critics.

Personally, I think Rachael Ray is awesome, but much to my surprise, some people can't stand her. There's a website where people complain about how she looks, what she says and they actually complain that's she's too energetic!

Then there are the people who are angry because she's not a real Chef. Does any of that sound familiar? Do people question your credentials? "I don't know why Bob's trying to teach people how to make money he's been broke all of his life." Do what Rachael does, ignore them. She says they have a right to their opinion.

We never thought of it that way before. People actually have a right to lead boring miserable lives, and if that's what they want we should ignore them just like Rachael does.

Some of your strongest critics will probably be your family members. It may not be that way for you, but it sure is for a lot of people. When you become successful you can count on one thing, when they need money, your family members will come knocking on your door!

Rachael Ray may not be at your next meeting doing MLM training for your company, but she can teach all of us a few lessons on what it takes to become successful.

Article Title: How to Choose the Best Domain Name For Your Business

Choosing your own domain name is very important and can be critical to your success as a network marketer. Take your time and choose the right one.

Why is it important for you to choose a domain name you are happy with? You need to realize that once you start your business and/or have a lot of customers you will not be able to change your domain name. If you do you will lose all of the advertising exposure for the previous domain name and you will look unprofessional to all your customers.

To set up a domain name you need to find a domain hosting company. There are plenty of hosting companies you can find on the internet and buying your own domain name is not very expensive. You can usually buy domains for $5-$10 a piece, per year.

"Mike's domain registration rules:" Rule #1: keep it simple. You want to find a domain name that is easy to say, easy to spell, and easy to remember. This is not optional. If you can't find an address that fits all three of these qualifications, keep looking.

If you are giving your website address to someone over the phone or to a group on a conference call, there can be no room for misinterpretation or spelling errors which means you need to follow the next piece of advice.

Rule #2: Register plural and hyphenated versions. You want to register all plural and hyphened versions of your domain name of choice in order to capture anyone who might misspell the name, and to protect yourself from competition who will intentionally register any domains similar to yours.

Now this is not going to matter much if you are just a tiny fish in the big internet pond and you are aren't promoting yourself in a massive way. But if you ever start to brand yourself and that domain name, then you need to follow these suggestions.

I recently started a project on creating lead generating capture pages, so the very first thing I did was register several possible domain names for it. (The hyphened and plural versions of each name).

Do not leave a door wide open for a competitor to leech visitors and customers through a similar domain name. You can bet that if I had not registered a hyphenated version of my domain name right after registering my real domain name a cyber squatter would have bought it and would have then owned a very valuable piece of internet real estate. (And he'd probably have a law-suit on his hands).

Always remember that entrepreneurs are opportunistic people by nature. Just do it right the first time and you won't have to worry about any of these issues.

Rule #3: Use the top "key words" In the domain itself. (But not every time. I will explain why in Rule #5). Search engines give high relevance to sites with top key words in the domain name itself, and a higher relevance for .com names over any of the other extensions like .net .biz . org or .info.

So how do you find the right key words to use? Head to a search engine and go to the resources page for current advertisers, and click on the link for key word selector tool. (Most, but not all, search engines have a tool like this).

Type in a common search term for your category or product or service. Example: If I type "capture pages," it brings back the following results: The top result is "lead capture pages," so I would want to try and register something with the words "lead" and "capture," right in the domain name itself.

NOTE: If the .com version of your preferred domain is unavailable, choose another. You want to have the .com address, because that is what your visitors will automatically type in when going by memory. And if they do not, many will type it in just out of curiosity, and if it is owned by a competitor, you are in trouble.

Rule #4: pay attention to phonics when purchasing a domain name. Try not to use numbers unless you can purchase both the numerical and alphabetical names. If you can find a domain name with both listings available, then go for it.

Rule #5: Register a "generic" domain name that can be used to promote anything now and in the future. Choosing a generic domain name can be very important when generating leads if you are a network marketer. 99% of the time, you do not want to have the name of your company or product in the domain name because your capture page is not going to be promoting your company, it will be promoting you or your business team.

Why? Because I want to keep control of what my prospects see and when. I want to keep control of the presentation of my business and the timeline in which it takes place. My prospect does not know what company I am with until I tell them. They cannot look at my network marketing opportunity website until I give it to them.

Most network marketers will register a domain name with their company name in it, but what if you change companies? What if you decide to leave your vitamin company and decided to sell products for another natural health company? What are you going to do with an email address (that everyone now knows, with your company name in it) when you change companies?

That is why you always register a generic domain name to use for your email correspondence that you can keep forever, no matter what kind of business you decide to build.

I chose a very generic domain name for my first website for this reason: Once you have a generic domain, you can always register another one for your specific opportunity that you can give to your prospects when the time is right. I have purchased over 100 domains in the last year alone. It is like owning cyber real estate.

This is probably going to be a very frustrating process for you if this is your first time
registering a domain name. Why? Because you will soon find out that 19 out of 20 domain names you think of will already be taken. Coming up with something generic is pretty easy though.

Here are a few ideas: Use your name in combination with an extension, like "LLC" or "Inc." Think of a company name, or "Doing Business As", name. Once again, keep these three rules in mind; easy to say, easy to spell, and easy to remember. If your last name happens to be Leibowitz, then pick something else!

Rule #6: You want to buy the .com, net, and .biz versions of each domain you choose. When coming out with a new product I might end up buying a total of 15 a domain names: each with a different "." ending.

You get the idea. Purchasing this many domain names for one project is not necessary, just recommended. So go ahead and make your purchase, but do not buy any of the other services your registration company will want to sell you like traffic generation, search engine submission, etc. You do not need those.

All you need are the domain names, and a basic hosting account which you can set up with any of the many hosting companies.

Start with the domain search box. You will get to know this one well as you search for a name that is actually available. Continue to search until you find a name that meets all of the criteria we have discussed today.

Once you find a name that works, choose to register the .com, .biz, and .info names. Go ahead and start the check out process. Skip all of the extra services they will try and sell you. You do not need them.

I only register my domains for one year at a time to keep costs down. They will automatically renew each year as long as your credit card on file is current. If it is not, your hosting company will notify you.

Congrats! You now own your very first domain name!

So you have your wellness products and have found a whole sale distributor and are ready to set up your web site on the internet. This is an exciting time for you and one that you will remember for a very long time. The internet store is extremely exciting about you going live on the internet with your very own wellness product and they can provide you the financial freedom that you have always dreamed about. There are several factors to keep in mind for your new wellness product on the internet store to make it successful.

Having your own domain name will give your new wellness product internet store the right business look. If you use other domains that offer you services for free, but have their advertisements all over them, it is going to be difficult for visitors to take your new company seriously. Domain names that are URL addresses that end in org, com, net, and so forth, so there are many domain names for sell or you can create a totally new one for your wellness store.

Create a name that is easy to type and easy to remember. How many times have you stumbled onto a great web site only to later not remember the name or find it again? You do not want this to happen to your customers. Make sure that you select a name that is easy to spell and easily remembered. If possible, select a name that mentions your niche of the wellness industry. For example if you are selling vitamins you could name your new store Vitamin Hideaway. This is short, easy to remember, and has your niche in the title.

Set up an ad campaign for free to run on your wellness product store. These ads will generate a nice stream of passive income that you can later use for more advertising. You can take the income from the ad campaign and buy additional ads that will go on other people's sites once your steady passive income is coming in to pay for it.

Easy navigation is imperative with your store. Many people leave their sites because it was just too difficult to navigate. You want visitors to easily get around inside your site.

Provide your physical address, email, and a working telephone number for your wellness product internet store. One of the key tip offs of scammers is that the web site has no contact information. If you do not want to give out a personal telephone number you can purchase an 800 number or an answering service to take all your business calls. At the very least, provide an email and physical address.

Offer several payment methods for your new wellness product store. There are numerous online banking services available. Many of your customers will have an account with only one of these services. They will not want to set up a new account at an additional banking service. If your store does not have their service, more than likely you just lost a customer.

Quick loading pages are imperative to a good wellness product store. People are in a hurry and will skip pages that take forever to load. Additionally, there are still many, many customers that are on dial up connections. Select graphics that are low density, but clear and quick loading. Have the option to click the graphic to see the larger version.

Following these tips will help you to have a dynamic and successful wellness product internet store. You will earn passive income, increase your potential for new and repeat customers, and have a site that will compete successfully in the internet world.

You can find a great deal of power in a wellness media store. What exactly is it? It is an ecommerce site on the internet where you sell all kinds of items. Operating a wellness store can generate a very steady passive income.

First, let's look at what a passive income really is for you. When you set up an event that will provide money without hardly work on your part is a passive income. You do all the initial work and then almost sit back and let the money come to you.

One powerful way to make a steady passive income is by operating an ecommerce wellness media store. Your primary goal will be to sell electronic media such as videos, DVDs, and electronic books that are wellness related. These are then delivered to the customers.
Do you realize thousands upon thousands of wellness media is available at your fingertips? You can find hundreds of electronic books that will give you resell rights or even be given away free for you to sell in your wellness store.

Once you have set up your ecommerce store, you will be able to sit back and watch the money virtually roll in. You can have your wellness media store set up so that when a customer pays for an item, they will automatically go to a web page to download the product. Without any direct work on your part, the customer pays for the electronic product and they download the product. If you were asleep when they shopped, you still get your money and they still get their item. What could be easier than that?

You will want to have a programmer set you up for your own very unique ecommerce wellness store. People that use the standard packages that are scattered all over the internet become lost in the crowd. You want a site that is different and what people will remember.
To keep the passive income generating and flowing, it will be important for you to network market with other people that are in complimentary businesses and organizations. You do not want to market too heavily to your competitors. Try to find a balance between the two.

Let's say that your wellness store has a great deal of content about fitness equipment. You will want to network with other people in the fitness industry and people that sell fitness equipment. They might even help advertise your products in exchange for helping them as well. It becomes a win-win situation for both of you.

More than likely you will be networking with people from several areas of the wellness industry. Electronic media compliments are great with the wellness industry niche markets. It will be important to hook up with some of these people.

Yes, you will find that you will make a steady flow of passive income from your wellness media store. However, you want people to find the store and others to learn about your media products. You cannot sit back and completely do nothing. If you build it, they will come will know it is there in the first place.

I've had to recently change one of my life's missions into the following: "I must dedicate myself to helping others get out of the rut that I'm in." You see, like many of you, I've been doing the same job for almost 20 years, granted I'm one of the best in the business, but the daily grind of working for someone else and being on a limited income starts to take it's toll and what in the world is the cure?

You see, I've known all along, since I was a young boy, that I was going to be a great success in this life, so how is it that I now find myself forty-one, in credit card debt like many of my friends, and working a job that I'd leave in a heartbeat if I had the money to do so?

About nine months ago I discovered that if I just started working on "myself" many issues in my life would get better and I'd learn how to be a better husband, better writer, and better person in general. My journey began with "personal development." Personal development is a 64 Billion Dollar Industry. Companies pay premium dollars to have motivational speakers come and fine tune their employees, leaving them destined to work in what I call the "rut."

Well, recently I had the distinct pleasure of meeting with a group of cutting edge entrepreneurs in Dallas, Texas, that quite simply changed my life. I came into their corporate meeting, and left a different person. I was able to click on a switch in my entrepreneurial heart, one in which needed to be ignited for my family and my future.

So how do we help all those good people out there who have job burnout? First, we need to identify that there may be millions of you. I'm one of them for sure. What are the symptoms? You may be one of the greatest employees your company has ever seen. You are probably one of those whose accolades are pages long. The truth is that many of those whom we respect beyond compare are actually dying on the inside due to lack of achievement, personal development, and lack of finances.

These are not bad people, these are great people who are stuck in dead end jobs.

These are not necessarily bad jobs either, I'm talking lots of people who are managers, supervisors, executives, and all the way down to the street sweepers. We all have one thing in common. We are fed up but have no way out.

So then, what do you do? Here's the answer. Find yourself a company, a home business mind you, an affiliate program, a company that has been established for many years, then get to know the leadership, and imitate what they do.

That sounds too easy I know, and you may say, that's not going to pay me as much as my work does. You may be right. However, over time it will pay you ten times what your work pays you and the bonuses and rewards will be a hundred fold.

The executives I met in Dallas Texas all had one thing in common. They were putting massive action behind their business. I met people from all walks of life. People from Colorado, England, Arizona, Texas, Nebraska, and Canada to name just a few. All of them also had the attitude of let's help each other make it to the top.

It's a well known fact in home business that most people fail. Yet, do you know why? They refuse to do exactly what their sponsors are doing to be successful in the first place. I've got it all boiled down to a simple formula, and I'll give it to you now. Here it is: Tell your testimonial and get your upline sponsor on the phone.

That sounds too easy too, right? Well, one of my best friends is a national director for a major MLM, one of which I mentioned the name, most of you would know. He told me that his income went from $8000 a month to $18,000 a month the minute he started sharing his testimonial and getting people on the phone with his sponsor.

You have to be willing to go to work. You see, we are all willing to go to work for someone else, giving them eight hours a day of our precious time, uninterrupted, for something that is really leading nowhere financially, and over time could take it's toll, God forbid, on you physically. Well, how hard is it really, to tell a few people, or advertise your new home business, and just put them on the phone on a three-way call with your sponsor or leader?

What if there was a company out there who would guarantee your success in writing? What if they told you that if you did exactly what they said, and followed their steps, and you weren't making $50,000 a year by the end of one year, they would refund every dollar you've invested in materials and or services in full? The company I visited in Dallas, has just such a guarantee!

There are opportunities out there like that, but you have to know where to look, and you have to work with people you trust, and people you know aren't going to leave you when another opportunity comes around. You also need to know that when you get around other successful people, they need to be people who are willing to share "how" they became successful.

Most online business companies are willing to sign you up and take your money, but very few are willing to train, motivate, and insure your success.

Find a company that you know has an impeccable track record, has gigantic support in terms of household names and sponsors, and most of all, find a group of people that are already wealthy, and cleave to them, become their friend, and do exactly what they say.

This will lead to your breakthrough in life and you being able to leave your dead end job. By hanging around truly wealthy people who are willing to share their secrets, you will get wealthy too. Problem is, where do you find such a fabulous company?

People are often looking for the best way, or the easiest way to earn money working at home. There are many different options to choose from, so how do you sort out and find the home business model that returns the quickest results, especially if you are new to the online world. In my experience, I have found that network marketing is a perfect fit for me, and a great way to earn money working at home.

So what is network marketing? With this business model, the company has agents or affiliates that sell the company's products in return for a fee or commission. Usually the affiliate pays a monthly membership fee which covers training, support, a website, hosting and other benefits. But this is where it gets interesting. The affiliate is then able to refer other affiliates and earn a monthly bonus from the referred people. Not only that, but any sales made by the referred affiliate (sales could be products or more referred affiliates) results in extra commissions for you. This can go multiple levels deep.

Obviously, the big advantage with this model is that you earn money from your product sales, your team's product sales, and monthly bonuses from your direct enrolees and their enrolees, several levels deep. You can make residual, leveraged income from referring one person, but the more affiliates you refer, the more money you will earn working at home, in the long term.

You have two choices for promoting your network marketing business (yes, it is actually a business). You can promote it offline with flyers, newspaper ads, or meeting and talking to prospects. Or you can do all your marketing online, from the comfort of your own home. Talking to prospects offline can be very time consuming, so you should qualify prospects up-front with questions designed to check their interest and suitability. You need to spend most of your time with people who are targeted and have a real interest in what you have to offer.

Me personally, I prefer to market my business online. Your reach is far greater with this method for a lot less work. You can attract targeted prospects and spend your time on people who are interested. Most network marketing companies give you a website to promote that has your links in it. I always think that it's much better to have your own landing page with lead capture and autoresponder follow-up. You then have more chances to make the sale. Once you have people in your team, it's very important to follow-up and support these members to ensure that they get off to a fast start.

Once you have your systems in place, it's time to drive targeted traffic to your landing page. You can create a blog with a link to your site, add content, and each time you make a post, "ping" to alert the blog directories. Also, write articles and submit to the article directories with a link pointing back to your site. Once you are generating an income, you can then invest in PPC (pay per click) advertising, for example, Google Adwords. But do your homework first if you are new to PPC, because it can be very costly if you don't know what you are doing.

Now, I'm not saying that network marketing is the only way to earn money working at home, but it is one of the better ways to go if you operate it like a "real" business. This is especially true if you like the idea of earning residual income month after month.

Here are several tips that you can use to be successful in network marketing. Network marketing is the key to having a successful business no matter what field you are in, even if you do not sell things. The primary product that you sell in network marketing is yourself. After you succeed at that, you will naturally market and sell your other items with great ease and confidence.

Trade shows are a terrific way to be successful in network marketing. After all, the people that are attending trade shows are like you, they are there to make new business relationships. Also, many trade shows offer seminars, lectures, exhibitions, and other great activities to enjoy. Just imagine that you have all of these people under the same roof that are in the same marketing industry as yourself. There are literally hundreds of network connections ready to be made in just a few short days.

One way to use tradeshows to be successful in network marketing is to keep a data list of all your contacts. Make certain that you take plenty of contact cards. If possible, right down a little bit of information on the back of business cards to remind you something about the other person, this will make it easier to do sales and contacts later after the trade shows have completed. Also, you stand the chance of running into some of the same people at future tradeshows and you will remember them better.

A newsletter about your company and your products is a terrific way to be successful in network marketing. People love to read newsletters about interesting topics. You can write about complimentary topics to enhance the content of the newsletter and then relate it to a product that you have advertised in the side bar of the newsletter. For example, you could be marketing a skin cream that helps with sunburn. Your newsletter article could be about skin care for the summer time. Viewers will have useful information and will see your ad in the side bar.

Newsletters also are a way to get customer information. When people sign up for the newsletter you can require a few basic pieces of information. This can then be used to specifically advertise to them. Complimentary gifts or free samples of your products are a terrific way to be successful in network marketing. They will tell their friends about your company because of the free items and those friends will tell other friends.

Before you know it, there will be strong networks built up of regular customers that are happy to receive mail from you on a regular basis.

The three primary ways to be successful in network marketing is believe in you and selling yourself. People will purchase from a confident person, but not an arrogant person. Attend regular trade shows in your market area and professional niche to meet others just like you. Create an interesting newsletter and provide viewers with free samples and product bonuses.

Do you want big success in your network marketing company? If you take this information seriously, you will catapult yourself to the top 5% of your network marketing company. In fact, if I wanted to, I could probably sell this information to you for two thousand dollars, and you'd never bat an eye or request a refund.

Instead though, here is the information, free mind you, to take yourself from the average Joe in MLM all the way to the top of your company in a very short period of time. A very good friend of mine is the number one distributor in a very well known network marketing company that has been around over eighteen years. What I'm about to share comes from his wealth of knowledge!

In fact, my buddy used this information to catapult his income from $8000 a month to over $18,000 per month in under a year! So please take this information very seriously, then go out and apply it to your MLM so you can experience big success!

You see, the average person who gets in home business does not do the one thing they need to do to succeed in home business. Does anyone out there have an idea of what that is exactly? I'll tell you what it is and give you a formula, but first read my lips: the average person does not talk to anyone about their home business or offer them the opportunity.

There seems to be a mindset in America or in online business in general, that if I just get "in" a company I can become inherently wealthy without doing anything. That is just as untrue as the world being flat. You have to do something and here's the secret.

You want the formula? Go get a pen. Write these two things down: Testimonials and Put Your Leader on the Phone. If you will simply share your opportunity with others, and then put them on a 3-way phone call with your upline leadership, you will see your business skyrocket to unlimited proportions.

You see, the average person who get in a home business, never talks about their home business or treats their business seriously. Most people are afraid that others will think you are trying to sell them some soap or something.

The ones that are kicking everybody's butts are simply utilizing their leadership, asking questions and doing two things everyday without fail: Sharing their personal testimony and putting their leaders on the phone with middle class Americans who are looking to get ahead.

Know your market. If you are in MLM don't waste your time with anyone who is super young or anyone who is in dire financial straits, etc. Find middle class Americans, good people, who are looking for a business opportunity and are willing to go to work!

Jim Rohn, unparalleled motivational speaker has said, if you talk to ten, and your real bad, you're going to get "2." Meaning, that every day if you talk to ten people, you will get an average of 2 signups. Take that same formula and now put your upline leader on the phone with ten people a day. That means two signups for you in one day! Fourteen a week and sixty a month!

How long at that pace do you think it would take you to pass everyone in your company? Let's even take it up another notch. What if, instead of just talking to anyone online, you approached seasoned network marketers who already have thousands of people on their email lists? How fast could you get ahead in your company?

Know your online business market. Market like crazy, put massive action into finding network marketers who have huge lists of contacts. Don't give up. This may be as simple as doing a Google search for successful entrepreneurs and then clicking on the "contact us" button for the phone number.

Then, once you have their number, you never have to talk to them. Simply do a 3-way call with your upline already on the phone, talk to the new hot prospect two on one, and see your enrollments increase a hundred fold!

Most of all remember one thing you are looking for "successful" people. People who are a success in their careers, people who are a success in general! Success breeds success.

So go out and do the two things that will catapult you to MLM success whatever your service or product. Share your testimonial and then put people on the phone with your upline sponsor. Then watch as you see your every dream come true with your MLM company!

I always thought that what you give away you lose forever. But I recently learned that what you give away you get to keep. My partner once told me a story about Dahli Lamas in the 80s.

He told me that back in the 80s there used to be Dahli Lamas ( I think he was referring to Tibetan monks, but the principle is still there) who would go around giving out beautiful roses to people at airports. This was actually there way of getting donations. Believe it, or not it worked!

These Monks were cleaning house. Whodathunkit! Turns out there was a hidden principle that that they were using.

I studied it and immediately applied to my business. In fact, every major marketer out there today uses the same principle in there business. Let me explain.

Everyone is hard-wired with the laws of reciprocity. It's actually our social norm. The idea is when you give someone something they will give you something in return. In fact, think of incidences where people are peeved when others don't give back.

Look at America's welfare system for instance. Some Americans are ticked off because they give up their hard-earned tax dollars and see nothing in return. Anyway. Back to the point at hand.

Unbeknownst to many Americans when you give someone something you activate a psychological weapon of influence called reciprocation. See when you give somebody something there is an internal pressure that builds up inside of them, and until they give you something in return they will feel guilty. This is why the concept works like a lucky pair of underwear with business.

Doesn't matter what type of business you're in: a brick and mortar, mlm, network marketing, direct sales. Doesn't matter! So what is the secret concept to making more sales?

I'll give you a hint: It's everybody's favorite "F" word. Free! For instance, why do you think AOL gives out free trial cds? Why do Barnes and Nobles want you to read their books for free in one of their big ol' comfy chairs? Why do car dealerships let people who are on the fence take the car home and try it out for a week?

Because they understand the influence of reciprocation. They know that what they give away they get to keep. Take note of this because it is one the most powerful pieces of information that can change your business overnight.

The reason people will often buy what you give away for free is because they get to experience ownership before paying a single dime. Letting people actually touch and experience what you have to offer lowers buyer's anxiety. That way they are more comfortable and buying feels like their idea and not yours.

Look at Apple. Everything, and I mean everything, is hands on. Radioshack and Verizon are the same way. The more you let people actually physically touch and experience your product people will back themselves into your cash register and close themselves.

You can actually create so much anxiety in a buyer by letting them fiddling around with the free stuff, that you can bring them to the point of payment to find out what the paid stuff is like on the other side. Never try to push a $500, $1000, or $10,000 product down your prospect's throat. Avoid it like the plague.

Start off small. Super-small. Why? Because when people make a commitment, they need to make a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th purchase to justify their first one. Fact is, that when people purchase something from you it activates (2) weapons of influence: Commitment and Consistency. Both are self-explanatory.

This is why you only give them a slice of the pie and not the whole dog on thing. Do you think car dealerships REALLY sell $45,000 cars. No. They sell crazy-low $350 monthly payments. Once again, this is based on another weapon of influence.

Now you don't just go around giving out irrelevant stuff and hope that people will come back and buy your product, info, fruity juice, youth creams, etc. For example, giving out free hot dogs is probably not going to induce a sell of one of your high-end electronics.

Don't be foolish. There's a secret hidden code that Chase Manhattan Bank, Opera, HBO, Michael Jordan uses in their marketing system. Baked into what you give away for free, or sell should induce a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sale, that bridges them into a monthly pay-to-play residual debit.

If you are in a business that doesn't bridge your buyers into monthly subscription customers, then you don't have a business, you have a job. Why start back at zero each month? The hidden codes that I'm speaking of are forced continuity and sales funnels; but, that's a topic for another article in itself.

Even though you see web sites every day that say online marketing is your effortless path to wealth, it's not necessarily as easy as that. Even though many will try, few will succeed.

For some, the jobs they have at present are unsatisfying, or their daily lives are in some way of the filling. They may think that online marketing provides a means for effortless wealth and fulfillment. Indeed, many struggle today, holding two or three jobs just to get by, unable to save much money if any at all. With these types of burdens, there's little time for fun activities or just plain relaxing. Always, finances are a worry, or how to pay this or that bill next. More and more time is spent worrying about money or pursuing ways to actively make it so as to "get ahead." This can become an unending and vicious cycle.

This is where the Internet can help you. Literally billions of people every day use the Internet; in addition, the Internet is, indeed, a gateway to wealth for many people who have discovered its secrets. Every day, more and more people access the Internet to make purchases online, discover information they didn't know about before, or to do other activities that can make the next innovative entrepreneur rich relatively quickly. These are all commodities that customers need to use, buy or sell.

Because it seems deceptively simple by all appearances, every day, men and women go on the Internet in hopes of striking it rich. Simply going online and looking for results on any search engine will show you millions of sites that promise their programs will be what will make you rich.

Even though it seems exciting, of course, for most of these programs, it's too good to be true. Yes, indeed, these people promise you that these programs will make you rich, especially if you send them your money and millions of other customers do too, but it's not likely that most of these programs will make you rich themselves. How do you sort the valid opportunities from the useless?

First, do your homework and be prepared to actually work for what you get. If you do find a truly valid good program, it will be one where you will have to put in the time you need to so as to succeed. There is no such thing as "getting rich quick," unless, of course, you win the lottery or come into some sort of inheritance. In short, you have to work for what you get; the key is to find something that you are good at and enjoy, and that really is a valid opportunity. You will be spending hours doing this, so you might as well enjoy doing it.

Second, persevere. It's not likely you'll make money right away; you have to put in some time and a significant amount of effort to make anything succeed, even something that truly is meant to be your ticket to wealth. As you work, you'll develop strategies and probably a business plan as well. You will have a learning curve as you get your feet under you, but then it will become easier as you integrate your talents.

In short, the biggest secret to making your online business a success is to persevere. It won't be easy and most won't succeed because they don't understand that you need to work hard in order to succeed anywhere, even online. You'll need to strive and get through some difficult times, probably, before you eventually do succeed.

There are many courses, audio and video recordings, and e-books that will provide you a good place to start. Many of these are free or very low cost. You may also want to invest, eventually, in some mentoring programs or one-on-one by coaching experts; however, this is a significantly more expensive method than free or very low cost more "mainstream" methods, and therefore, you'll want to wait until you have some disposal income to try these out, if you ever do. Whatever you do, don't buy into a "get rich quick" marketing scheme that will do nothing more than take your money. Of course, you will need a few basic elements, such as your own web site, so you'll need such tools as a hosted service. However, these are basic tools that can be bought anywhere and don't need to be geared to a particular marketing system.

Once you've got this in place, you'll need to get your sites published so that you increase traffic to your site and eventually, it's hoped, to convert some of that traffic to buying customers.

There are many different ways you can generate traffic. One way is to write articles and publish them. Advertising is key to your business's success. Many authors have written excellent materials on this particular subject. Do some online research and read up on this type of information, to give yourself a place to start.

Another thing you can do as you experience this learning curve is to focus on one particular element at a time before you move on to the next. This will give you time to integrate each element thoroughly so that you learn marketing as quickly as you can while still doing so very efficiently.

Even though it helps to diversify and you can do so in several related areas, beware of spreading yourself too thin and trying to do too many completely diverse things. This only makes you look like a "jack of all trades, but master of none." In addition, if you spread yourself too thin, you won't have the focus you need for a specific area. Focus on areas that are related to each other and only one or two at a time. As you become more expert, you can elaborate further later. Your focus now is to become good in one or two particular areas so that you can be seen as an expert in that field or niche.

Many hopes that you will be inspired to pursue your own dreams as you read this, knowing that even though odds may seem insurmountable, they are not. Steady and careful effort is the way to success. May you have success in everything you desire.

About three months ago I had the privilege, nay the honor, to meet up with an incredible moment of online destiny. I heard one of the internet's top online marketers say something that would change my life financially forever. Now it's time to tell you what he said...

One night while perusing the internet for online marketing tips, which I often due, I came across a video that would forever change my financial life, and most hopefully, it will change yours too.

You see, like many of you out there, every night I would try to promote my online business using online forums, article marketing, buying up Google ppc ads, free content, newsletters, banner advertising, and anything else that would trip the hit meter on my site.

Is it me, or am I the only one out there who hasn't found one ad that works online?

Anyhow, tonight would be different. You see, I came across this video featuring Ewen Chia, one of the internet's top online business marketers, and he said the following: "To be successful online I've observed that many make one mistake, they try to do all kinds of online business marketing methods, when they should just try to focus on one, and become good at it."

That statement hit me like a ton of bricks. I'd been doing online business marketing wrong, and here was an expert telling me so to my face. I realized I had to focus on one area of online marketing and become an expert at it. In order to do that I had to make a choice. Would I choose forum marketing, email-marketing, pay per click advertising, coupons, or newsletters?

Well, since I'm a writer, and that's a God-given gift, I decided to choose of course: "article marketing" or writing articles over the internet to be placed on a variety of websites, blogs, and informational pages. Article marketing is considered by many to be the very best way to promote your business online, so I ran with it!

I'm happy to report since listening to Ewen Chia, I have written almost fifty articles on a variety of subjects. Everything from marriage relationships, to how to buy your child's first BMX bicycle, and all the way to using natural energy resources over man made ones. Since I have a wide background, I've utilized this to the max when it comes to writing a variety of articles.

What has this done for my online business, and what could it do for yours? Well, I am happy to report that as of today our website has over 10,000 links to it, and several people email me letting me know what a blessing and help my articles have been to them in their individual lives and businesses.

You might be saying, well, I'm not a writer. Well, then as Mr. Chia recommends, please consider becoming an expert and focusing on the one online marketing tool that you are the best at, and target it with massive action daily.

Take for example online forum marketing. Did you know you could type in online forums or multi level marketing forum on google or yahoo, and then thousands of results will come up? By participating in online forums and placing a signature file at the end of your tag, you could potentially generate thousands of visitors to your website daily!

Yes, it's true! But again, that may or may not be what you want to specialize in. Just take the area that you like the most in online marketing, and focus on it, and become great at it. Again, Ewen Chia, who is considered by many, one of the best online marketers today, and I'll throw myself in there too, he is one of the greatest, recommends that you pick one area and get really good at it, before trying to do two or three separate methods.

By focusing on one thing, you'll find that you'll get good at it, and then you'll start to have some good online business success! That's what it's all about my friends! So, pick the one advertising area that you love the most, and then put massive action behind it. I believe you'll love the results, as I have, and maybe someday you'll write me, and say: "Thanks Don, I just became the next online business millionaire."

You can find many different types of unique home business opportunities in the wellness market. One big money item for the wellness market is the various vitamins that people are using for nutritional supplements. You can take advantage of this market by creating unique home business vitamin baskets.

Baskets of all sorts are very popular on the market today. You can start unique home business vitamin baskets for very low start up costs. In no time you should be able to recover your initial investment and be making a substantial profit.

One of the best places to market these baskets for your home business is on the internet. You can create one or two sample baskets to take photos of for advertising. Then as your customers begin ordering the baskets, you can make each one. This will significantly lower the cost of starting the home business.

Another advantage to creating the vitamin baskets as your customers order them from the internet is payment. The customer will have already paid for the basket. You can then use that money to make the basket and ship it. This means that you are not forced to come up with a lot of money to start this type of home business.

One great place to use the internet is the internet auction sites. You can use your sample basket photos to list multiple vitamin baskets auctions. As the auctions are bid on and people pay for the orders, you will be in a lucrative home business. Many auction sites only charge a small fee to set up the auction.

It is important to know how much shipping to charge for the vitamin baskets. You should take several to the post office and get them weighed. This will let you know roughly how much to charge your customers. But remember that in many instances you can deduct shipping and handling charges from your end of the year taxes.

One way to attract more customers is to offer free shipping and handling. It is not really costing you that much money since these counts as a business expense. The baskets should be fairly light weight since they will primarily have vitamins in them. Customers that do not have to pay shipping and handling are more likely to order from you. Not only that, they are more likely to repeat their orders which will help your business to grow substantially and very quickly.

You can also set up an ecommerce site for your home business. There are some that are pre-made that you purchase and put in your vitamin baskets as the product. Others are blank and you may need a programmer to set the site up for you. Ecommerce sites for the wellness industry are very popular and do extremely well.

Once you have your ecommerce site set up, you might also want to sell media that fits the vitamin and nutritional supplement theme. You can sell DVDs, ebooks, tapes, videos, and more that are related to nutrition and vitamins.

Establishing unique home business vitamin baskets is a way to have a very profitable income in the wellness industry. You provide people with a popular product and in a way that they can give as gifts to others or even purchase for themselves. The internet is the biggest market for this type of home business and getting started is fairly simple.

Having been successful in MLM for a decade we find it interesting that we get the same questions over and over again. One of the most common questions we hear is "How do I motivate my team?"

When you realize that people in the masses are predictable, you'll find it easier to have success in MLM. The best MLM training cannot overcome people that have low self esteem or those who lack vision.
Amazingly, a large number of people have those two characteristics and there is very little we're going to be able to do to help them.

Give them a copy of the classic Napoleon Hill book "Think and Grow Rich" and suggest that they read it from cover to cover, but do not waste a lot of time with people that suffer from low self esteem. If you are an MLM newbie you'll probably be tempted to try desperately to save the world. That's what we did when we first got started, and it nearly led to what seemed to be an obvious conclusion, MLM doesn't work. Well it does work, but when you try to save everybody you might find it hard to believe.

When you try to save the world you become frustrated every time somebody fails. You start to play the "if only" blame game. If only I had picked them up and taken them to the meeting. If only I had called them more often. If only I had recruited people and stuck them under my new recruit, then they would have been able to see that they could become successful!

Don't fall into that trap. When you start to play the "if only" blame game you are heading down the wrong road. It's not your fault! The real truth is there is very little you can do to motivate your team. Sure, you can do some things, but for the most part, people are going to do what people are going to do, and we aren't going to change them.

So what can you do to motivate your team? Go to work and change your life. The best leader is a leader that knows the way and shows the way. There's an old saying that is so appropriate for MLM. What you're doing speaks so loud, I can't hear what you're saying. Some people will get motivated when they see you change from massive MLM loser, to phenomenal MLM success. If all you do is tell them to make it happen, but they see you do nothing, you will never motivate them.

You need to understand that it really does not matter how successful you become, some people will never get motivated and change their own life. It just isn't going to happen, so quit trying to make it happen. Don't worry about the things you can not control!

Have you ever tried to get your children to keep their room clean? Maybe you are better than we are, but no matter what we tried we could never get our kids to keep their room as clean as we wanted them to. No matter how hard you try to help some people, they just aren't going to be a success in MLM.

When they decide that they are tired of the life that they are living, then and only then, will they become successful. So if you want to motivate your team go become a huge success in your MLM business, take lots of vacations, buy a second house, drive a much better car and then some people will get motivated.

How does a person dress for success for a business occasion? What is the difference between smart casual and formal dress code (for guys)? These are the two main questions which this article aims to answer based on the author's experience and knowledge gained from working with entrepreneurs and business people whose expertise includes knowing how to dress for success.

Dressing means that you wear yourself the and you wear your clothes in a confident manner in order to positively influence people on impact. They say that first impressions last, so knowing how to dress for success is the smart thing to do. Let's feel firstly with how to dress for a business occasion.

If you are going to be involved with a formal or informal business occasion, but you desire to look sharp, smart and highly polished - a corporate superstar businessman here's five things you can do to help yourself not only look and dress better, but feel better about yourself to, so your confidence shines from the inside out...

1) Wear a spotless suit, pressed shirt and clean tie (preferably silk). You can wear a tie-pin to keep the two parts of your tie together so long as it is not a "Mickey Mouse": exceptions are if you are representing Disney, or you are a child health doctor/paediatrician.

2) Make sure you are clean and spotless. Well-shaven, if you have foams and cleansers for face, use them, splash of aftershave/cologne,underarm deoderant and brush the hair so that you really look your "Sunday best" - this will make people feel you've made the effort, and that you are sharp and slick - you know how to take care of yourself. Others will look up to you automatically. Shower is absolutely mandatory.

3) Polish your shoes. Polish them again. And then shine them up. Having highly clean and shiny shoes make a real difference. Notice how other business people dress and how much more powerful their personality comes across when they are immaculately dressed, hair combed and shoes highly polished. You don't want to show a single sign of weakness, and so there is no excuse for not polishing up your shoes finely.

4) Clean and whiten teeth if possible. You do not want bad breath to let you down. So clean your teeth, including brushing your tongue. Floss and if you have tooth whitener, use that too. If you can, have your teeth cleaned by a dentist once per year.

5) Finally, work on your self talk. Look in to the mirror after you have got suited up and say about 100 times (one hundred) "I like myself" "I really like myself" and "I feel terrific" "I am the best" over and over and over until it feels bad. Then do it some more until you feel totally fired up. You'll leave the place you are getting ready with a fire in your heart and unstoppable confidence if you do this.

For a smart casual occasion it depends on your confidence. You can wear a jacket or sports jacket over a colored shirt or white shirt plus smart trousers, pressed and very new-looking smart shoes, or shined and polished office shoes. Alternatively, you can wear a pair of navy jeans with a stone washed effect down the middle - for a rough feel, but wear a white shirt and suit jacket (open neck shirt - no tie at all) and super-smart shoes.

Always, always ask your girlfriend/spouse how you look. More than likely they will help you add a finishing touch to your tie, shirt or belt, or pay you an awesome compliment to boost your confidence. Women know how to judge men's fashion better than most men, so performing this final step will help. Otherwise, get out there and meet people and remember you know how to dress for success

MLM failure after MLM failure, that's the way my MLM career began. Sadly, most people give up on MLM before they ever achieve any success whatsoever. What I didn't know at the time, was that all my failures were actually preparing me for phenomenal MLM success!

You may have failed at MLM over and over again, but have you ever stopped to think what you have learned along the way? If you've paid any attention at all you've learned a lot more than you probably realize. If nothing else you've certainly learned what not to do!

MLM isn't about convincing people to do anything. Most MLM rookies make this mistake so often you would think that they would begin to understand. The harder you work to convince your prospects that this business will change their lives, the more likely they are to never get involved in the industry.

I had to learn this lesson the hard way even after I had become incredibly successful. It's entirely possible for you to still be learning valuable lessons even after reaching financial goals that you thought would elude you forever.

Many years ago we were enjoying the tremendous life that MLM success can give you. What I'm really trying to say, without actually saying it, is that I wasn't really working my MLM business because I didn't have to. Our company was offering some kind of incentive, it's been so long that I really can't remember what it was, but I had been goofing off for so long that I didn't have any prospects in my prospecting pipeline.

It was the final day of the promotion and I was meeting with a successful businessman and sharing with him how great our business was. By this time I was no longer trying to convince people that my MLM opportunity was right for them, but I was selling really hard that day trying to qualify for that special promotion.

I finished what I knew was a great presentation and there was no doubt in my mind that this guy was going to sign on the dotted line. I was exceptionally proud of myself when my prospect said the words that I will never forget. "Scott, if your business is so awesome why do you have to have me sign up right now?"

My heart sank, and I struggled to answer his question. Then the right words just flew out of my mouth, "I don't need you to do this right now" I said. Then I thanked him for being honest with me and realized that I had just learned a valuable lesson. Trying to convince people to join your MLM opportunity makes you look desperate!

Sure it's easy to get frustrated and quit. Just imagine how much better you'll be if you just stay in the game long enough to learn valuable lessons that will pay huge dividends over the next 5 to 10 years of your life. I've shared that story with thousands of people in my MLM business and some of them understood exactly why I was sharing that story with them. So they wouldn't make the same mistake I did.

That day I blew it. Perhaps at some point in the future that prospect may have joined my team and perhaps he would have been an MLM superstar. That wasn't going to happen now because I had given him the wrong impression of our industry.

How often do you think MLM rookies make that same mistake? One of the biggest reasons people fail in MLM is that they fail to learn valuable lessons along the way. It's so much easier to start believing that MLM doesn't work isn't it? It can't be my fault. What if you quit blaming everybody else and started to realize that we all have a lot to learn on the way to success?

Hopefully you've got an upline mentor to teach you how not to do this business, but even if you don't, stay in the game and learn from your own mistakes. You'll be amazed just how much you can learn and how much better you life will be when you do.

What began in 1996 as a few helpful annotated links for clients and colleagues grew by leaps and bounds into what we now know as the World Wide Web. People also assume that it costs a lot of money for a website builder tool when that is so not true. While it is true that HTML is the formal language of the World Wide Web, you do not need to know a single command of HTML in order to build your own website.

Site Building Software Costs Have Dropped

It is true that in the past, the rates for web hosting tended to be high, the modern trend of everyone opening a website has resulted in a sharp drop in virtual-estate properties. Where websites really begin to cost is when you wish to have them designed by an expert and then having them modified for search engine optimization.

No Professionals required

Another reason that people do not know how to build a website is that most of the software that is released is aimed at the professional designers who can always go behind the curtain and look at the technicalities involved. Despite all these problems, you can still learn how to build your website.

You do not need a teacher or a long course in HTML programming to build your own website with the many website builder tools that are available on the Internet. You need to ask yourself what exactly will be the purpose of your website and then plan accordingly.

What You Should Be Looking For in a Website Builder Tool

For business purposes your website should look professional to beat out your competition with a great look and feel when they visit your site. You need time to promote your website not spend hours figuring out codes and uploads, so a fast website builder software is essential, usually ten to fifteen minutes is a good average to build the framework of your site.

With technology today a good website builder tool should allow you to drag and drop all the features to change the look easily with no html knowledge required. Another option is the ability to upload files without having to work with a third party ftp provider. Website page duplication done quickly and easily is also something to look for.

A website builder tool should also be able to add videos, images, instant screenshots and content with the click of a button while customizing banners and images without the use of expensive software like photoshop.

There are many website builder tools out there but use your due diligence when checking them out, while there are free programs available just remember you still get what you pay for. With software technology growing in leaps and bounds your chosen software should be ridiculously easy and have a wysiwyg interface, meaning What You See Is What You Get.

If you are involved in a Multi-Level Marketing or Network Marketing business endeavor, you know that there are numerous strategies that you can use in order to build your business. In this article, we will review one of the available strategies. This strategy is using a downline builder. You will discover exactly what a downline builder is, the advantages and disadvantages associated with this strategy, and if it is right for you.

Downline Builder Defined

When you engage in creating a downline in a business that is considered to be Multi-Level Marketing, or MLM, you are simply sponsoring individuals that sign up under your affiliate identification. This is a continuous chain that can prove to be quite effective in the overall success in your business endeavors.

A downline builder works in much like the same method that you would work in order to acquire individuals that you can sponsor. A website is created that contains all of your affiliate information. When interested individuals sign up through this website, they are automatically associated with your affiliate identification.

Most downline builder agencies will offer you various training sessions on how to maximize the potential of the downline builder. Many times, training is offered to individuals who sign up for the program that you are attempting to build a downline for. In addition to this, many downline builders offer technical support and customer support features day in and day out.

Advantages

There are many advantages that you can enjoy with a downline builder. One of the most popular features of a downline builder is the ability to provide a large number of sign-ups in a short amount of time. The next advantage of implementing the use of a downline builder is the ability to minimize the costs that are associated with marketing. This is especially important if you are new to your MLM business.

When you enlist the assistance of a downline builder in your MLM business, and you start seeing a large downline, it is quite possible for you to sit back and relax. You will be receiving a residual income from the work that your downline does, and if there are enough individuals signed up under you, the profits that you experience may be unbelievable.

When you employ a downline builder, your affiliate information gains more exposure than it would if you did not use a downline builder. This can prove to be very beneficial in that you can receive more sign-ups, make more profits, and gain a higher rank on many search engines.

Disadvantages

While there are many more advantages to downline builders than disadvantages, there are a couple of things that you must be aware of. Many times, the downline builder does not focus on acquiring targeted visitors to your website. They may post your affiliate website in a high traffic area that is known for sign-ups, but if a sign-up is not thoroughly moved by your MLM program, chances are, they will fail to succeed as an affiliate in your program.

There are also many companies that claim will provide you with thousands of members in your downline in a certain amount of time, but never fulfill their promise. Many of these types of downline builders will ask that you pay a certain amount of money up front and in small print they claim that there are no refunds at all. So, not only have you not any new members in your downline, you are out of the money that you paid for the program. It is essential that you watch out for these types of programs and claims to protect yourself and the reputation of your business endeavor.

What to Look For

When researching downline builder programs, there is an assortment of things that you should look for. If a particular program seems appealing, you should research the website carefully. Be sure to read all the small print. You may come to understand that you will have to eventually pay to join another program in order to keep the downline builder free. If this is the case, you should research the program you will be required to join to determine if it is something that you want to do.

If you come across a downline builder that promises hundreds and thousands of legitimate sign-ups immediately, this should be a red flag. As the old saying goes, "if it is too good to be true...it is not true at all". Keep this in mind. Besides, do you really think that many people can make a well informed decision to join your downline this quickly?

In addition to the above-mentioned information, you should also be careful when it comes to downline builder programs charging an outrageous price to join. You must understand that most downline programs are free. Some of the most successful internet marketers had their downline created by a free downline builder program.

Conclusion

You can benefit in numerous ways by selecting a downline builder program for your MLM business endeavor. The advantages include creating a large database of affiliates associated with your website in a short amount of time, and saving on initial marketing costs. However, there are some things that you should be cautious of. This includes downline builder programs that charge a large fee to perform the services and outrageous claims of the amount of sign-ups that you can receive. If you take the time to research downline builders, you are sure to find one that can aid in the success of your internet MLM business!

Nowadays online marketing of your business is absolutely essential, particularly a network marketing business.

Without an online presence you are lost to literally millions of buyers and new business associates who are looking for what you have to offer.

By making full use of the internet to promote your network marketing business you have at your fingertips the most effective marketing tool of all for selling on autopilot.

Putting your business on remote control means that you are making sales and creating new leads 24/7. All you have to do is set up your system in a way that will magnetically attract prospects to come to you.

But what's the best way of achieving this?

Before you begin with your advertising and marketing, you need a landing page, also known as a capture page. The sole purpose of a landing page is to capture the contact details of your visitors in order to begin a relationship with them.

It should not be filled with too much information, for example if your network marketing company provides you with a replicated website this is not where you want to be sending people in the first instance.

What you need is a page that is unique to you and offers visitors something worth having, a free e-book or report with genuinely useful information. In order to receive this information your visitors must provide you with their contact details.

There are hundreds of free e-books on the net which give you free distribution rights so you can safely pass them on to others without infringing any copyright laws.

It is a simple matter to create a landing page - nowadays there is site building software that allows you to put a very professional page together with no web design knowledge whatsoever. If you can type, you can design a web page!

Your page needs to be different to those of other affiliates in your MLM or network marketing company. It needs to offer visitors something that they are sufficiently keen to obtain that they are willing to give you their name and email address in order to get it.

You will have heard the old saying, "the gold is in the list". Once you have captured the contact details of your visitor you have now been given their permission to begin a relationship with them and provide them with useful advice and information.

This way you have positioned yourself as an expert, a leader. Your conversion rate will be much greater by this method than if you were simply driving visitor traffic to your replicated company website.

So you've created a unique capture page. Now how do you attract visitors?

The key is to attract visitors to you by advertising in the places your prospects will be.
You can use search engine advertisements, article marketing, place ads in ezines, solo ads and so on.

You need to calculate a monthly budget for your advertising and begin testing one or two marketing methods and constantly track your results.

It sounds simple but too few people follow this rule: if something is working and bringing results, do more of it. If it's not working, stop doing it! The methods you are using need to generate a regular stream of traffic to your site each and every day. A handful of visitors here and there will not bring you the results you need.

Learn how to generate a flood of visitors with a proven online marketing system for your network marketing business. http://www.annmclaren.biz

Individuals who own their own business know and understand the importance of having a large and effective network. However, many of these individuals often look for new network improvement strategies. To reduce the amount of time and energy that is often required to develop and expand your network, you should know some key components to this issue. In this article, you will be introduced to network improvement strategies that can help you achieve success in your business.

The first thing that you should do in order to succeed in the area of networking is to ensure that you have an effective business plan. This plan should include the ultimate goals that you have as they relate to your business. You should outline the purpose of your business, the products and/or services that you are looking to promote, as well as the ending result that will result in the success of your business.

Once you have established an effective business plan, it is vital that you set goals for yourself and the business. These goals should include ways in which you are able to meet and socialize with new people. This is a core component to acquiring a stronger networking system for your business. You should make it a goal to meet at least one new contact in each social situation that you attend. This is a great way to obtain new leads for your business and spark new interest among individuals.

The third way towards network improvement strategies is to ensure that you are thoroughly prepared when presented with the opportunity to develop a new contact. If you appear to be a professional in your field, then you will appeal to more people. This is especially true if you are meeting with these individuals in person. You must appear friendly, positive, encouraging, and approachable to the individuals that may possible become future leads.

The fourth way to increase your skills when it comes to acquiring new individuals in your network is to realize that each and every person that you come in contact with is a potential lead. Each person that you meet has the potential to contribute something positive to your network. You must develop this perspective. Overlooking someone may be a very costly mistake.

You must create a number of approaches to individuals when it comes to obtaining network contacts. For example, you may want to create and memorize a lead speech for mothers, fathers, business executives, the everyday person, and more. This can help you to ensure that you are effectively appealing to each of these individuals. You must observe the individual prior to approach for a few minutes to ensure that you have the correct attraction speech prepared.

If you wish to increase the effectiveness of your current network, it is essential that you never underestimate the current network that you have. These individuals may help to bring a variety of new people to your network. You may want to create incentives for people who bring new leads in. This is a positive way of encouraging growth that is vital to your business.

There are many different methods that you can use in order to ensure that your skills in the area of networking are increased. Not only will you improve, but your business will be more successful as well.

MLM, this sounds interesting, I think I'll give it a try. And so it begins, the failure process takes a little time, but it's almost inevitable. When you begin your MLM business with the words "I think I'll give it a try" you've got almost no chance at becoming successful.

Can you imagine your wedding day and instead of saying "I do" at the alter you say "I think I'll give it a try" What about your first day on a new job, you walk in and tell your new boss "I think I'll give it a try"! Sounds ridiculous, but you would never say those words in those situations and you shouldn't say it when you start an MLM business either.

Why do we even let people join our MLM business when they utter those words? You're only fooling yourself if you think that anybody who says, "I think I'll give it a try" has any chance at real success in MLM.

What they're really saying is "I'm going to talk to 2 or 3 people and unless they all think this is the greatest idea I have ever had, I'm going to quit"! Guess what happens? Somebody is going to tell them that MLM doesn't work and their lengthy experiment of one or two days comes to a quick end.

As soon as this new MLM recruit quits, they will proclaim, "I knew it wouldn't work"! Don't let this happen to you. Here's what happens every time you bring somebody new into your MLM business, you get excited and you know that this new member of your team is "the one".

When they quit you're devastated, and when it happens to you over and over again you start to think that MLM isn't going to work for you. That's not the case at all, but your mind starts to mess with you and your own self-fulfilling prophecy starts to work against you too.

So what should you do? Take drastic measures. This is going to sound bizarre and you'll probably never actually do it, until you get fed up with hearing "I think I'll give it a try". You finish your presentation and your prospect fills out the application. If they say those deadly words "I think I'll give it a try" rip up their application and tell them that they aren't the person you're looking for.

Politely tell them that when they're ready to get serious about their future that they should get in touch with you. Their success is too important for you to allow them to fail. Put a pen on the table and tell them to try and pick it up. It's this simple, you either decide to pick it up, or you decide to leave it on the table, but you can't try to pick it up.

There's no doubt that you won't do this when you first start your MLM business, even though you should. Until you experience "I think I'll give it a try" a few times and realize that none of these people ever become successful, you'll probably be reluctant to tell it like it really is.

You will enable people to fail. Chances are you'll enable a lot of people to fail, until you come to realize that you will never do anything great in your life with such wishy washy thinking.

There's no telling how many people could have become successful if I had enough backbone to stop being an enabler. Every now and then I think about the people who could be living a much different life, if only I had been stronger.

You may think that telling somebody the real truth, that "I think I'll give it a try" only leads to failure is being mean. The real truth is, allowing people to fail simply because you don't have the courage to tell them the truth is wrong. Very wrong.

Do you want MLM success? If you say, "I think I'll give it a try" you are preparing to fail, and your actions will lead to your failure so you can tell everybody that will listen, I tried MLM and it doesn't work.

The first thought, which may come into your mind is, that those requirements cost a lot of money. However, the surprise is that it does not cost so much money, because you have to use mostly your knowhow and talents, not your wallet.

The work at home business is not an investor business, but 100 % knowhow business. This is very useful to understand.

To be able to run a successful home business, the key issue is that you have planned it well and that you have a realistic target and a working strategy. I would say that of these two, the strategy is absolutely the most important. That gives you the answer how you reach the targets.

After you have done the strategic planning, here are some working promotion methods, which fulfil the criterias mentioned above:

1.Write Optimized Articles.
The article writing is my favorite, because it does all the criterias plus will make my name a famous brand in the industry. The articles stay in the directories and websites for years and bring targeted traffic, which is presold, constantly. Naturally articles work day and night every single day.

The most important thing is that the articles are search engine optimized, i.e. the keyword or keyphrase is in the title, teaser, in the body and, this is the most important place, in the about the author box. This form an anchor text, i.e. a related backlink to your site.

The quality and the number of these backlinks will determine how high your site will climb in the search engine result pages. If the quality and number of backlinks of your site is worse vs. the competition, you cannot beat them.

2.Distribute Your Articles Widely.
The wider the article distribution, the more backlinks the article creates and the better possibility it has to become copied and pasted to different websites.
I normally use a distribution service with over 60.000 destination directories, email addresses and pages, which will quarantee my optin articles a full effect.

This kind of big distribution means, that the articles are not unique ones, but it does not matter because they will still bring the benefits: the good number of backlinks and targeted site visitors.

If you want that your article will climb high in the search engines, then write one optimized article and publish it through the best submitting service in the market.

3.Write A Blog Version.
As I mentioned above, the search engines like original, unique articles. Only these have possibility to climb high in the search results. It is important to see the difference. These articles are not meant to bring backlinks, but targeted visitors.

The same requirement concerns the blogposts. You can of course use the same articles as a bottom, but you have to rewrite them in order to avoid the duplicate content claims. I underline that only articles or blogpost ALONE can be enough for the good traffic building.

4.The Best Traffic Is, However, The Repeated Site Visitors.
I would say that despite of all promotions you run, the most important single item in your work at home business communication mix is your home page. That is your shop, the home of everyting, so concentrate to build that as good as you can and finetune it regularly. You will see from the number of repeated visitors, whether your cusomers are happy with that or not.

As seen above, I am a great believer of self made communication in the work at home business marketing. That builds a unique difference and a loyal customer base.

It's a disease, and it's an epidemic. MLM "excusitis".

Common symptoms of MLM excusitis are complaints that you don't have enough time or money or your upline is an idiot. When faced with this tragic disease it is important to seek help immediately. If not treated immediately this illness can lead to poor, if not dire financial consequences for the rest of your life. If that isn't bad enough, MLM excusitis is extremely contagious.

99% of the people that fail in MLM suffer from MLM excusitis, and they typically have family and friends that suffer from the same disease. Amazingly enough these people rarely realize that they have it, claiming that it's not their fault that they have failed.

As times goes on MLM excusitis only gets worse and in most cases will cause the person to quit MLM for life, failing to realize that the only likely cure for their poor financial situation is MLM itself.

Obviously this disease, if left untreated, can cause serious blindness. Worse yet, many people stay in MLM while suffering from this disease and infect other people. Some have recently labeled that "the blind, leading the blind."

Although this could be considered to be a crude an outdated treatment for MLM excusitis, most experts believe that after the person with this disease has been given treatment and shows no signs of being cured that they should be shunned. While considered harsh by todays standards, those who continue to associate with the infected, eventually become infected themselves.

Should you choose to continue to associate with those who suffer from this extremely common disease that infects 7 out of 10 people who start an MLM business realize that you have almost no chance of survival.

Obviously this isn't a report from a medical journal but MLM excusitis is such a common malady that it probably should be more heavily publicized than it is. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

One of the biggest reasons people fail every MLM opportunity that they join is that they fail to realize that they are the only common denominator in all of these failures. Although self inspection can be difficult it's absolutely necessary.

Are you suffering from MLM excusitis? Are your failures always the companies fault or your uplines fault? What can you do to prevent another MLM failure?

Start by choosing your upline carefully. The MLM company you are joining isn't nearly as important as the person that you are involved with. You'll spend a lot more time with your upline than you ever will with every member of your MLM companies home office.

Had I really known what I was doing the first several times I got involved in MLM I would have spent more time asking questions from my upline and finding out if he or she even had a clue what they were doing.

What training systems are in place? Have they taught anybody else to become successful and if so, how many success stories do they have? Do you even like them? MLM is an all volunteer army and although you don't have to like them, it will sure make things more enjoyable.

How long has your potential upline been with the company? Most people don't ever stop to consider that very few people can jump from company to company and achieve success. Are they still "in the game"? You want to find somebody that's still in the trenches doing what you'll be doing, otherwise they may teach you outdated methods.

Are you willing to work with somebody or do you really want to be the "Lone Ranger"? You'd be amazed at the number of people that fail because they have to do everything the hard way. Do you want success bad enough to follow somebody that actually knows what they're doing?

There is absolutely no reason you have to suffer from MLM excusitis, but if you are, recognize it and make changes now. Your future can be filled with success.

Do you ever feel like you're spinning your wheels? I mean, you've done what your upline has told you, memorized scripts, learned all about your company's products. Why, then, aren't you making progress? Why is there more money going into your business than you're getting out of it?

If you're like me, you're probably making some of the most common mistakes in network marketing. These mistakes destroy more network marketing businesses than anything else. Fortunately, after you've identified them, correcting them is easy.

Have you ever posted in a network marketing forum? I have, and I've gotten some prospects that way. Does it mean I use forums exclusively, however? Of course not. Too many of us find something we're good at or that we enjoy doing, and use that as our only marketing medium. This is a huge mistake.

For one, not everybody who might be my prospect frequents forums. What would happen if I added an email or postcard campaign to posting in forums? I may reach three times as many prospects as forums alone. If I learn to write and submit articles and become involved in an affiliate program on top of that, you can see the possibilities.

Relying on a single marketing medium limits you from reaching your potential by keeping you in your comfort zone. Being comfortable is OK, but if it keeps you from growing or expanding your business, it might be time to branch out and try something new.

This is not to say you shouldn't focus on one medium at a time. Focusing on one until you're good at it, then continuing that method while incorporating new ones bring you the best opportunity to be successful.

If you've researched network marketing at all, then you know about all the hype out there. One particular brand of hype suggests that all you need to do is to plug in to a certain system and watch your profits soar. There's nothing else you need to do.

Sure, systems exist which make our jobs much easier, but it's up to us to do the work. These systems are merely tools, and if you expect them to do all the work for you, you'll be sorely disappointed. Think of it this way: If all you had to do was plug in to this system, why would your company need you?

Network marketing is, and always will be a people business. This means communicating with people in every way possible. Sure, email's nice. So are postcards, forums, writing articles, etc. These are, however, tools, and the goal of each of these is to get you face-to-face with an interested human being.

When I first began network marketing many years ago, my upline hinted that they would close most of my sales for me. To me, it made perfect sense. I mean, after all, didn't they have a vested interest in my success? Weren't they successful only if I became successful?

Imagine my surprise when, after procuring a certain dollar amount from my bank account, I never heard from them again. I called, talked to answering machines, desperate for answers. All those good things my upline promised vanished.

If you expect your upline to close your sales for you, you are in for an equally eye-opening experience. Becoming successful in network marketing means taking responsibility for your own success or failure. Your upline, if effective is there for support, but your success boils down to your individual efforts.

Many times, we as network marketers get excited about our company, products, or opportunity. Now, this can be a good thing and, in fact, is necessary to your success. I couldn't imagine prospecting while having a lukewarm attitude about what I was doing.

Many times, however, we tend to get overly excited, and we bombard the prospect with way too much information. We want them to know what we know, so that they can be equally excited. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. The prospect eventually tunes out, sort of like when we go to the refrigerator while the guy on TV screams at us to BUY.

The solution to this is to give the prospect only limited information at first, just enough to whet her appetite and to make her want to learn more about what it is you do. Using the consultative approach, this is easy to do, as you're mostly asking the prospect questions, listening to her answers, and trying to find a solution to her problems.

While there are more mistakes network marketers make, I've found these to be the most common. Simply being aware of them can greatly improve your business, moving you into the 3% of us who are actually making money in network marketing.

It's late, well actually it's early. Almost 3 AM and we can't sleep.

Normally staying up late at night is a bad thing, most people have to get up early in the morning and fight rush hour traffic and go to a job that they hate. All we have to do is walk down the stairs.

We haven't been sleeping much lately because we're so excited about the things that are taking place in our lives. Many of our friends can't sleep at night for a lot of different reasons and none of them include being excited about their lives!

We've made a substantial amount of money from our home business over the last decade, more than enough so that we haven't had a job for a long time, but money won't make you happy.

Whatever happened to fulfillment? Do you really feel good about what you're doing or are you living from day to day because you need the money to survive. Success in life is a choice. We're almost afraid of putting this in writing because it wasn't something we wanted to hear either, success really is a choice.

We've got 24 hours in a day and you've got 24 hours a day. We've been busy working on improving everything we do, and adding even more fun, and profitable, stuff for us to do in our home business. What have you been doing? That isn't meant to be hateful at all, it's just the truth.

Back when we were broke and facing bankruptcy and foreclosure , we were suffering from this downward spiral, kinda like when you flush the toilet, around and around and then down the drain. Pardon the potentially graphic illustration but you get the picture.

Back then we were making bad decisions on top of bad decisions. We decided that we deserved to wallow in self pity, so we kept feeling worse, about everything. Why should that be a surprise?

These days we count among our closest friends some remarkable people. Not all of them are MILLIONAIRES, but some of them are! They help keep us focused on doing more and having more fun. They don't have to push us into doing anything, we want to do more with my life. Who are you spending time with?

What are you doing with your time? Who are your friends? Are you fulfilled or just going through the motions? Success in life is a lot easier than most people think.

Most people choose to do very little with their life. Are you one of those people that don't know what to do to make your life better, so you just feel sorry for yourself and do nothing? Been there, done that and it may feel like the right thing to do at the time, but it won't get you where you want to go.

You've got to make a decision to succeed and stick with it. A few months ago we started working with a group of people who said they wanted to change their lives. We promised to help them but made it clear that they would have to work on themselves.
Almost two months later the transformation has been almost miraculous. We didn't make it happen, they did the work because they really did want to become more successful.

Where do you start? Decide to make a change. It sounds so simple doesn't it? Make a decision that you really deserve a better life and commit yourself to the process of self improvement.

We suggest you start by reading the book "What to say when you talk to yourself" by Shad Helmstetter. This book will change your life, I know you've heard it before about all kinds of things but this book is amazing. If the only thing you did was read the book you'd live a better and more meaningful life.

One of the amazing people we've been working with is a 74 year old woman who had never heard of that book before. She went looking for it and she almost gave up trying to find it. But she kept looking and she found it. After reading it she thinks differently and acts differently. She says that it's made a difference in her life!

If you really want success in your life you've got to make a decision to change. Will you be like the 74 year old woman and make a change, or will you make excuses?

When you want what you have never had, you must be willing to do what you have never done. A more fulfilling life is available to you, we hope you decide to go after it. Will you read the book? Success is a decision. And so is failure. What will you choose?

Network marketing, or MLM, has been an ever growing industry for the past decade. Even though the network marketing business model was built over fifty years ago by companies such as Shaklee and Amway, the Internet is the tool that has been letting many people build their own MLM businesses to six and seven figure incomes.

The Internet is a network marketer's best friend. Years ago, it was difficult to make a six figure income in network marketing. Now, however, the world wide web is creating more millionaires in the MLM business model than ever before. Now, you can easily build your own MLM online, from home, with relatively small start-up costs.

There are wonderful advantages to building your own MLM on the Internet:

* The Internet goes all over the world to billions of people, and search engines, such as Google can bring you all the traffic you need, provided you can market correctly
* The Internet never sleeps. It runs 24/7 so your multi level marketing business never has to close down
* You can sell products on the Internet as well as find more prospects for your business opportunity

How To Market Your Own Business

The first thing you will need to do to build your own MLM is to think of how you are going to market your product and website. Now, with that being said, there are several different Internet marketing methods out there for you to try:

* Google Adwords
* Article writing in ezines
* Top sponsor or banner ads in ezines
* Standard mail (if you have a mailing list)
* E-mail
* Internet video marketing

Each of these methods will take further research to learn and understand how they work and how your business can best profit from them. I could never explain them to you in one article, as a matter of fact, no one can become a successful marketer or entrepreneur from reading one article or one book. You need to read everything you can to educate yourself on the topics of attraction marketing and how to write sales copy if you want to be a successful Internet marketer.

With the right attitude and a willingness to learn you can build your own MLM by using the advantages the Internet provides. You will probably find the lifestyle a bit more rewarding than that of your current job.

Just realize there is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme. All of those network marketers who try to tell you MLM is easy, you will make thousands in weeks, and you can quit your job right away are full of B.S. Building a successful MLM business will take time, effort, determination, and excellent marketing strategies to

It took me six years of effort and failure before I learned how to correctly build my own MLM business. The only difference between myself and those who did not make it is a willingness to learn and a desire to succeed, no matter what.

The basic part of your work from home business is made by the keywords by which you optimize your webpages, articles and blogposts. The keywords are the consumer markets, where you market your work from home business.

The growth strategy you choose needs a strategy, a thinking modell how you understand the internet marketing and your own possibilities there. It needs your deep understanding of the choice process, which your prospect goes through before the purchase.

One of the things I like is the idea of preselling: the need to draw the reader step by step into the world of your offer. This I have to do about 5 times per each prospect. And this is led me to the strategy, with which I promote my businesses.

It is to write search engine optimized articles, to raise the search engine ranking of my site and to presell my business promise again and again. It is working.

These articles will stay and bring highly targeted and presold traffic to my homepage during a long period of time. The more I write, the better my work from home business will do. It is a residual traffic. And almost free.

1. Promote Your Business By Writing Constantly
The growth of your work from home business needs promotions regularly. The consistency is extremely important. Long term article writing requires a good pen. So learn to write emotional and useful messages to your prospects and customers.

The secret of the good results is not to do as much as possible, nor to try to do things 100 % right. The secret is to do right things for your business repeatedly and to keep yourself in a good, relaxed mood. Make it fun and you will always win!

2. Learn To Optimize All Your Writings.
The search engine optimization ( SEO ) simply means, that you will write all the articles and blog posts along the needs of the search engines. This will give you the benefit, that your articles bring a lot of backlinks to your home page. This will increase the position of your home page on the search engine result pages and the higher your page is, the more traffic it will bring.

In this way your business gets huge benefits: a regular flow of highly targeted web site visitors. This traffic for your work from home business is free and long term.Think about that!

And the best opportunity for your business, as a matter of facts, is that you can repeat the same with the new related keywords as often as you will. Thus there is no limits of the growth for your work from home business, because the number of the good keywords is practically limitless.

When you will write articles or blogposts, you actually transfer your own experiences to your readers, as I do in this article. This is the core idea of running this business by writing articles. To share useful and helpful information to your prospects and customers.

Article Title: Why 97% of Network Marketers Fail To Break Even

One of the biggest and best-kept secrets in network marketing and MLM companies is that 97% of affiliates end up losing money instead of making it.

That's a shocking statistic, isn't it?

Every day, spurred on by the promise of financial freedom, thousands of people join the network marketing industry. Several months later and in some cases several thousand dollars or pounds worse off, they give up, disillusioned.

Which is a crying shame since armed with the correct knowledge and a plan of action, network marketing or multi-level marketing as it is also known, is the single best way for ordinary people to make extraordinary incomes.

So why do so few people make it? Surely they can't all be so lazy and incompetent that they can't make the grade?

Of course not!

The problem is that in no other business are there so many people with so little idea about sales and marketing trying to teach other people who are equally clueless about sales and marketing. Nowhere is the phrase "the blind leading the blind" more apt than in this industry.

Not only are the usual methods employed in the MLM industry ineffective, they have also tarnished its reputation almost beyond repair, giving network marketers the reputation of door-to-door snake oil salesmen or fake Rolex peddlers.

A mass of hot air, hype and even downright lies are passed down from one sponsor to the next.

Lies such as "everyone is your prospect", for example. Contrary to popular myth, many people are perfectly content with their current job, income and way of life. Others hate the idea of network marketing and would sooner cut off their own arm than be involved in it. Some people believe that making lots of money is a bad thing. Some people are frightened to death of anything that involves the slightest element of risk. There are a hundred other reasons but the bottom line is that everyone is not a prospect and it's a waste of your time, energy and not to mention your self-respect trying to recruit people who have not shown the slightest interest in what you have to offer.

As a business owner it's not your job to try to convert people. You're not a member of a religious sect! And think about it, what kind of first impression are you giving to a prospect? By forcing your business opportunity down their throat unasked, you've just shown them how you do business yourself.

The reason MLM uplines love to propagate the myth that "everyone is your prospect" is because they want recruits to think that a networking marketing business doesn't require any money to get off the ground and is thus ideal for the average person who doesn't have a lot of spare cash and would be put off by the concept of a marketing budget or the idea of having to spend money to make money.

What they fail to disclose is that poor advertising methods lead to poor results. And worse still, by using the much-hyped "speak to everyone you meet about your business" rule, you are showing your prospect that you are the kind of business person who isn't professional or successful enough to invest in proper marketing. Which immediately gives a cheap, "hustler" impression.

Who wants to work with someone who advertises their business this way? Do dentists or doctors hit the streets peddling for custom? Hey there, got any aches and pains I can take care of for you?

Of course, if you speak to everyone you ever meet in your day-to-day life the chances are high that eventually you'll hit on someone who is interested in making a secondary income. But even then they are not likely to take you seriously because you've already shown them how you do business and unless they like the idea of pestering every person they know, they're not going to want to get involved because they'll figure if that's how you prospect for recruits, that's how they'll have to do it, too.

So what's the answer?

The simple yet devastatingly effective answer is the same method as is used in any normal, brick and mortar business the world over:

Get the customer to come to you first

using an effective system of lead generation and marketing. A customer who is actively seeking what you have to offer is the only kind of customer worth spending time on. This is the way every other type of business the world over functions and once network marketers stop believing that "everyone is their prospect" and start using proper, systemic marketing methods they discover that network marketing can be simple, fun and extremely profitable!

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

So you are a great network marketer. You are blazing through all previous records set in sales and downline numbers recruited. You are an MLM Superstar! But all those people in your downline seem to be falling stars. They started off as brilliant bright beacons in the night sky and then fizzled out into nothing before they even hit the ground. If you have been around network marketing for any amount of time you will have already heard that 97% of people that get involved with an MLM will fail. That is a huge percentage. One of the major reasons will be lack of proper support from their upline sponsors.

So how do you get your downline producing? By using duplication and automation.

If you are successful at what you are doing, make sure you are sharing it. Unlike other kinds of businesses, multi level marketing is based on telling others how you succeeded so that they can do the same thing. This is no time to be hoarding your secrets on how you generate your leads, how you advertise your products or how you close your sales. I'm sure you have heard it before, it is called duplication. I am going to say it again. Duplication. So I know you have heard it, but are you applying it to your business? You need to make it as easy as possible for the people in your downline to do exactly as you have done to become successful.

One of the best ways to make your successful network marketing business easy to duplicate is to take advantage of today's technology. If you are using a web site to promote your business opportunity and/or products and it is doing well for you, make sure your downline also has access to that website. This can be done in a number of ways. You can use either a reference ID attached for each user that will properly identify that it is their page or a different domain name pulling the same content. If you want to avoid possible duplicate content penalties laid down by search engines, make a template available to your downline to make it easy for them to put in some of their own content but still have a professional and proven site.

Another technology that can be helpful in duplication and ensuring your downline's, and therefore your own, success is a turnkey phone system for taking sales calls, placing orders and presenting a professional image. We are all too familiar with the image that many multi level marketing businesses have. There are those of us that see network marketing for what it is - a way to leverage our time, money and efforts to earn a residual income far beyond anything we could earn at a 9 to 5 job. However, there are also those people that have heard negative things or have had an unpleasant past experience with network marketing. It is important that you make sure that your downline has their best foot forward at all times. This is where a professional website combined with a turnkey phone system will come in.

With a turnkey phone system, such as those offered by virtual PBX companies, you can create professional outgoing messages to greet callers, have recordings about products, services, and any business opportunity available 24/7, load fax documents with helpful literature to be requested by callers and sent automatically by your virtual PBX, have voicemail delivered to email so messages are responded to in a timely matter, have your calls forwarded to you at any location you wish, and more. And you can do all of this and then have all of your downline get the exact same virtual PBX with the exact same professional recordings and fax documents. Don't leave it up to your downline to present the professional image that is required to instill the confidence that is needed for customers and other potential prospects to do business with them. Do it for them with a turnkey website and phone system.

All of these things boil down to one thing, support. You must support your downline. I know, I know. You are probably saying, "But I don't have time to hold the hands of 10-20 people and then have 97% of them fail anyways." Now here is what you need to consider. One, their success directly affects your success. And two, with the tips that I have given you already, you will increase the chances that they will become one of the 3% that will succeed. And after you have considered that, apply these next 2 concepts to your business.

Use automation to leverage your time. You do this with your website and your turnkey phone system but there are other ways as well. Automate your support by using auto responders that send out emails to your downline on a timed schedule. (Also great for marketing.) Include motivational emails, helpful tips and ideas, updates, whatever applies to your particular business. Also, take advantage of another cool feature of turnkey virtual PBX systems; the ability to record one message and send it to any number of phone numbers or email addresses. Make sure your virtual PBX provider has a feature for voice broadcasting. This is a great way to give a personal touch to updates and motivational messages that will get more attention than a standard email. It will also save you from having to make 20 calls to each person in your downline.

Next, don't bite off more than you can chew. You are right. You probably can't hold the hands of 20 people. Find out how many hands you can hold and give them all the support you can. Maybe you feel you can only really support 3 to 5 people. Take those 5 people and give them the best support you can. That will include making sure that your system is duplicatable right down to your phone system, that you have automated as much of your support and business as possible, and that you give them personal one on one attention as well. A personal phone call, a pep talk, advice and possibly even giving them a lead now and then will make a world of difference. I think you will find that by using duplication and automation to leverage your time, you will be able to hold more hands than you think.

Many individuals understand the importance of creating a residual income. A residual income is a type of income that you can acquire on a regular basis. This term is quite common when it comes to affiliate marketing. Generally, when an individual creates an income that is said to be residual it means that they have to perform very little work, and profits continue to accumulate. It is important to develop a passion for creating a residual income because it is this kind of income that you can use to cover all of your necessities, and even your wants!

Normally, an individual is compensated on an hourly basis. There are a few individuals that are compensated by a salary. However, these funds are only available as long as they are employed. If a person experiences a sickness, an injury, or becomes unemployed for one reason or another, this income can be jeopardized. Each and every working adult has experienced some form of income loss in their lifetime. We all understand how this can affect our lives. It is often very small amounts of financial loss that cause us the most complication in life.

With the rise and fall of the economical situation in the world, many of us may experience a direct hit financially. Many companies are now beginning to outsource their work to areas outside of the United States. These areas often offer the same quality of work for less than citizens of the United States expect to receive. As a result, these businesses fire and/or lay off individuals and give their work to other countries to be completed. This is one way that you can lose the income that you are accustomed to.

There are many companies that have discovered that numerous jobs that they offer can be completed by the use of modern technology. Some of the most common jobs that suffer as a result of technological advances are those such as the assembly lines, call centers, and more. If you are employed in one of these industries, you may very well face a financial loss once a program is developed to handle all of your responsibilities in the workplace.

There are many individuals that develop serious medical conditions, or simply become injured, and must go on disability in order to survive financially. If you are one of these individuals, the financial lose that you will experience will be tremendous. While it is a common benefit to receive funding while you are on disability, it will be no where near what you made by working in the workforce. This particular situation is very common, and creating a residual income for yourself can have a huge impact on whether or not you succeed in these areas.

There are many individuals who are facing retirement, and the funds that they have available are quite limited. They know and understand that these funds are not enough to live on the rest of their lives. If these individuals had developed a passion for creating a residual income early in life, they would not be facing the possibility of financial loss and strain.

It is essential to have a constant stream of income throughout your life. You should also research a backup plan in case the main method that you acquire money is interrupted. This is where many individuals should develop a passion for creating a residual income. By implementing those items that will allow you to develop a residual income, you can have money constantly adding up in the background. This will ensure that you suffer very few issues if you are put into a position where you experience financial loss.

By actively participating in a multi-level marketing, or MLM, program, you can create an effective residual income that can float you financially for many years to come. If you develop your business in MLM while you are still in the workforce, you can create multiple streams of profits. Once the MLM business succeeds in bringing you in a residual income that is profitable, you can leave the workforce and focus on your new business.

There are many options when it comes to selecting the MLM business that is appropriate for you. You can select from businesses where you sell certain goods and services, those that allow you to make money from those that are in your downline, and other types. When selecting a MLM business that is right for you, you should expect to do some research. It is important to only choose a business that you are interested in - not the first one that comes around. If you create a business that is right for you, you will quickly develop a passion for creating a residual income.

Notable businessman and professional, Donald Trump, raves of the potential of developing a successful residual income by engaging in MLM business opportunities. Robert Kiyosaki who authors the New York Times and focuses on writing books such as
"Rich Dad, Poor Dad", has been noted in informing others that MLM businesses should not be avoided simply because they appear to be a "Pyramid Scheme", as he informs us that every single corporation that has ever been established is nothing more than that of a pyramid scheme.

If you are limited on your finances and tied down to creating an income based on long work hours, it is time for a change. By developing a passion in creating a residual income, you are standing on the tip of the iceberg. As you progress, you will see that there is much more to the iceberg that you are standing on. If you continue to stagnate in one place, the ice on which you stand will melt and will not heed to supporting you any longer.

Being a master business coach, a great leader, or even a good person for that matter is not sufficient to create a significant change within an organization. For bringing in change in the public sector, non-profit sole proprietorships, global conglomerates or even families; you need to network and market for good sales. Simply knowing how to incorporate marketing, networking and sales is not enough. Business professionals should personally incorporate the principles.

Every business coach ought to find a common intersection point of networking, marketing and sales. It is essential to understand the difference and excel in the activities linked to every part of the significant trio before sealing any deal. Given below is a detailed description of each principle and their relevance to coaching practices:

Networking(forming new relations and sustaining them is the basis of every business activity):

Information and interviews are powerful networking tools, which are developed for gathering information pertaining to what individuals or their company do. Since the interview is not a sales meeting, it is safe for the interviewee. As a matter of fact, many people are more than willing to offer their mentorship.

Informational interviews can be created according to client needs. You work together to design questions that the clients will direct towards the network. Thus they gain new perspective on the operations and focus on certain growth areas and an insight into the challenges that the clients have to face time and again.

Networking acts as a gateway into the sales process for business coaches. Informational interviews keep the business channel considerably open, with add-ons coming in frequently.

Marketing(communicating about your business, product, service or you):

Marketing comprises of whatever measures you are taking for promotion of your ideas or business, besides activities that directly deal with relationship building or demand specific outcome. Instead of creating opportunities for delivering your services, marketing activities enable you to benefit from opportunities to effectively deliver your message.

Keep strategic advantage in mind whenever you produce the marketing data so as to create them once and use them regularly in various ways. Develop a message for a speech and you can reuse the same for an article. If you create something within the operations and do not use it again, you are unnecessarily wasting time and money.

Marketing and messaging should sustain the business development efforts, and not turn into them. People usually don't get more clients by producing more material; what you get is only more material.

Sales(requesting for what you need):

You might be aware of the fact that every networking and marketing effort creates a full string of leads that pop up all of a sudden, and generate business. When businesses focus on energy and time taken for delivering the client services, they lag behind in marketing, networking and sales activities. This ends in an unpleasant situation wherein they complete projects without any leads and concentrate on generating new business from scratch all over again. If you are a managerial leader directing an internal coaching program in particular, you should also inspire and gather support for various initiatives and convey the vision effectively so as to motivate and engage the team.

The industry of network marketing is changing rapidly. It's a proven fact that the professional network marketers who do well have the formula for success tightly packed. It's also a proven fact that network marketers that are simply unaware of this system must get in on the action or they will sink!

Today's top network marketers that follow the new strategies create monster results. Not only do they make a steady flow of income, but they gain high numbers of prospects. There are 5 steps that can create mind blowing results for your business. These 5 steps will guide you in order to generate endless success in network marketing.

1. Be sure to have a specific target market. A major mistake mlmers make is that they choose a product to sell BEFORE they find a specific target market. You must consider the size and potential of the market first. It's not effective to find a product to sell and then push for prospects. It is however effective to find a market that has a need, and then choose a product that will supply a solution to the need.

2. Have a front-end retail product for sale. Unfortunately, we are taught to do this backwards! Uplines often teach their team to push the opportunity first. This old school technique pushes prospects away, quickly! Your upfront retail product is important because it allows you to make money flat out so that you are not shelling out tons of money to fund your business opportunity. The upfront product allows you to create a steady cash flow without having to sign someone up in your business opportunity. You make money regardless of whether you sponsor people or not.

3. Make your mlm opportunity a product in the back-end of your business. Your opportunity should be the last thing that you are selling. Often, the back-end products require a bigger commitment and a bigger price tag than the front-end product. This particular step is effective because you will be able to present your opportunity to an actual customer that has already bought your front-end retail product. They will be more likely to buy from you over and over again.

4. Know that you don't need to hunt for prospects. Many mlmers don't know this and they burn out before they ever really get started! This of course is what makes home businesses fail. They spend so much time making contact lists and approaching prospects that more than likely have no interest in the actual business opportunity. Rather than approach these types of prospects, it's more effective to target your specific market so that you are approaching people who are in fact looking for a product that you have to offer.

5. Excellent marketing strategies such as article writing, pay per click ads, blogs, ezine ads, banners, etc need to be in place. These are very important for traffic generating. Online and offline marketing is the key.

There are great eBooks that give step by step instructions on how to achieve success in each of these areas.

For many mlmers, these tips may seem foreign, but this is the way the industry has evolved. Modern day technology and new systems of strategic marketing is what makes the top notch network marketers generate killer results and astronomical amounts of money.

Network marketing is a lucrative business if you know how to work it. It is the number one work from home business. Find a company that has a good product, follow their guidelines, make big money and retire young. Well that is the dream everyone that goes into an MLM has. And not that the guidelines the companies offer you to build your business aren't true, they just aren't enough. Great, they give you a website promoting their company and product, but ask yourself this... why then do they need you?

The answer to that question is that they are counting on you to go out, win the potential client over so that a purchase is made and their sales increase and you get your commission. But what about you is going to make people buy the product or service? Why not just go to the company website and order from there? Your customer is going to buy the product or service from you because of you, not the MLM you are working with. This, my friend, is where self branding comes in and why you need to understand the importance of it.

What is self branding?

In a nutshell, self branding is you marketing you. Instead of working on promoting the product line you are currently working with you are promoting yourself. People trust people, not products, and no matter how wonderful a service or product is, if there isn't a person that they can go to, rely on or trust they aren't going to buy the product.

When you self brand, you are promoting your knowledge and your integrity and that is what is going to help you build a strong customer base and gather new customers. No matter what your product line is, you never change. Self branding is essentially about you having enough confidence in yourself that you can do the best that you can with what you are working with at any given time.

You really have to understand yourself and be aware of your strengths and weaknesses in order to self brand and promote yourself. You need to market your strengths and consistently work on your weaknesses.

Creating Your Brand Image

The most important part comes right now, building your brand. Before you take another step you need to sit and think about what will make up your personal brand. Establish what your key strengths as a brand are. Your networking and analytical capabilities as well as your level of integrity and leadership skills are all essential in building your brand.

Know who your target base is. You have to know the value that your customers in that target group will see in your brand as oppose to others. If you can't get them to buy what you have to offer then you are wasting your time. Also, though you are marketing your self, it is important to know what branding the company you are representing has done. If they do not meet up to what you are promoting about yourself then you are damaging your own brand.

Define your personal mission statement and let that be on every email you send out, any letter head that you use and the opening statement on your website. Remember this is about promoting you, not the product, because if you change companies and product lines, you still want to be able to use the same "self brand" that you are creating.

Getting noticed

You have created your brand. Now what? Well, that answer is fairly simple. Get noticed! How do you do that? Send out monthly email updates to your customers and prospects. Write articles and send out the links to those articles. Attend any industry event you can and promote yourself. You are in a MLM, get out there and network. The only difference now is that instead of talking about your products you are going to talk about you.

I have seen one example where what a gentleman did was create a little "book" to give to potential clients to promote his "self brand." What was in that book was comments from a wide variety of his customers and clients stating what they felt about his work and capabilities. He was selling who he was to the potential client, not the product he was going to use.

There is no other part of your business that you will put as much work into as creating your own "self brand." When you do this, you are essentially creating a marketing program that will benefit you for the rest of your career. Regardless of what products or services you offer your campaign which is you as a brand will never change. You are the one constant in your career. Market that and reap the rewards.

Choosing a home business for the wellness industry can sometimes seem like a complicated process. There are many things to consider for selecting just the perfect home business. After all, we want to be successful and enjoy working for ourselves. The wellness industry is making terrific strides in becoming one of the largest business industries on the market today. But which type of home business is right for you?

First, you must decide how much time you are willing to put into your home business for the wellness industry. New businesses and continued home businesses require a great deal of time and effort. Like others, you can do a part time job in addition to your regular job or meeting your family responsibilities.

Your next decision will be how much money you have to invest in your home business for the wellness industry.
There are some home businesses you can start for little or no cost at all. For example, you can join a reputable affiliation program in the wellness industry for no start-up costs at all. With approximately two-thousand dollars, you can become a trade show exhibitor for the wellness industry. You should sit down and figure out a budget for the new business.

Now that you have selected how much time and what budget you are working with, you will need to begin selecting the perfect home business for the wellness industry for you. Do you like direct sales and working face to face with customers? If you are a people person, you will want to do marketing for wellness items. You can do this through trade shows, flea markets, direct sales to fitness gyms, spas, resorts, and other places.

Another type of direct sale in the wellness industry that many new people overlook is skin care, hair care, and nail care products. People are very concerned about the health of their skin, hair, and nails. If you are a people person, you could market these types of beauty and health products to friends, neighbors, relatives, and even co-workers. This is a great way to start a home business for the wellness industry with very little initial investment.

If you have a talent for writing another wellness industry business, it is online. You can write product reviews for the literally thousands of wellness products available on the market. These can then be submitted to review sites that pay writers for their opinions. Some of these sites pay by giving writers a share of the ad-revenue that comes into the online company. Others pay a standard rate for each piece that is written. There are numerous review companies available online and this is a terrific wellness industry business to start with no start-up costs. You can do this full time or part time depending on your writing speed and your desire.

As you can see, there are many possibilities for choosing a home business in the wellness industry. You can find one that is perfect for you with little or not start-up costs, or you can invest in a business and run it full time. The choice is yours.

One of the points no one mentions in business is the importance of mastermind groups. You can often hear or read that you need a mentor to take a step ahead for your business.
When I am working with my employees or collaborators I realized that I discover many more things than when I work alone. You can get more even if you have partners to work with. With partners you can share customers and cross promote. In this way you can promote too many more people and offer bigger and various product solutions.

But the best point is you can share ideas. You enlarge or view and can improve your mission and strategy. You can know things that have never thought before or even you can realize that something you thought was useless or not important is instead good for your business. You can also discover your defects and qualities. In this way you can reduce your error rate and have continuous lessons learned results.

Your partners can also perform the role of a customer providing you with useful feedback on your products and services. You can know in advance if you are in the right path or if you need to change part of your business. If every partner has a different mentor you can share the different experiences and improve your know-how. Also if you partner has the same mentor you can discover something you did not pay attention to. It is like when you made your school works with your school mates. You got better results and in a shorter and faster way.

There are basically two ways to establish and keep your relationship with your partners.
The first is an unstructured way, i.e. you contact them when you need a suggestion or a support for a solution. This is very common when you everyday call one or two of best partners through Skype or Messenger. The second is a structure way. This is suggested when the number of partners you would talk to simultaneously is greater than 2.

These groups of partners are called mastermind groups. Mike Filsaime has always claimed that his success relied also on mastermind groups. You discover you know less when you work alone. But mastermind groups, being a structured way to partner, must be organized.

You should have an agreement before starting a mastermind group. There should be a memorandum of understanding, rules to follow to be loyal to the other partners and not to infringe property protection statements. Also you need to commit yourself to be active within your mastermind group. This means you have to propose ideas and initiatives as well as to guarantee your presence at meetings.

Meetings are the moments when the partners share ideas and support. These should be held at least once every two weeks. Every week would be ideal. The duration should not exceed two hours as we know human concentration is not going to last long.
Meetings should be structured, i.e. there should be an agenda in place.

Two roles must be defined and covered every time. One is the role of chairman, i.e. the person who is going to prepare and distribute the agenda, to prepare the meeting infrastructure (i.e. he/she must check the Internet connection and the details for the chatting room), to prepare and deliver support material, to forward extraordinary rules, to communicate variations or special details, to collect data for the meeting minute, to provide follow-ups for the meeting, etc. There are many other things a chairman should perform and these depend on the way the scope of the meeting is. The second role is that of the Time Keeper. This is the person that controls the time of each conversation. It is important that the conversation is controlled, i.e. not all people talk simultaneously and who is going to speak is mentioned in the agenda (when, who and about what).

The best solution is to discuss every time about the problems, issues and topics related to one of the members. This is suggested especially before a new product launch. In that moment all the partners can provide suggestions, tips and tricks and other ideas to improve the launch.

There are also ethical rules to follow. I would give you some examples but you can use your imagination or focus on your needs to think to other points. It is aimed that everyone commits himself to support the others in the promotion sharing customers, secrets, ideas, etc. It is aimed that everyone respects the others without revealing outside the group secrets or strategies and even not use them if not authorized. It is aimed that you can provide help in forums, groups, with customers especially in difficult moments.

It is appreciated that you have a database where you store all the meeting minutes and eventually tools and materials to be shared. A forum for members only should be set up and everyone has to commit to be active. Many groups start very well and in few weeks you can see that the forum has almost no new post. A moderator for the forum should be assigned every week. Forum posts should be mentioned in the agenda for the next meetings and eventually assigned to a priority or person if related to issues to solve.

Never think that meetings are useless. Sometimes I heard conversations I thought were of pour quality and at the end I found even a single solution for my business that saved me time and money. The mastermind groups are really the secrets of business men even of those who have already a good business in place.

Another good point is that you can ask the members of your group to provide a testimonial for you for your next product launch and support your credibility and notoriety posting in forums, writing articles and press releases on your products, maybe in exchange for a good JV commissions. The price is really worth. With your partners you can also share your training material and discuss about new strategy to create together. Sometimes you can really modify or change your business model.

What is important to maintain a mastermind group is to assure mutual respect and correctness. You can also start a mastermind group with some of your customers or students (if you are a trainer) and you will discover how much more you can learn also from those who are expected to have less experience than you. You have to have a constant learning approach, i.e. every discussion should provide you ideas and suggestions for your next business.

Basically for you mastermind groups you need to have a chatting room, a forum and a database (a server space) where to store your common information. You can only improve your business if you have a mastermind group. Do not isolate yourself and be convinced to know everything and have no defects. Talking to other people you can really discover better yourself and see something that was hidden within you until that moment.

Not experiencing the success you thought you would with your network marketing company?

So you're on your 5th network marketing company because you just know this is the one that is going to take you to the $50,000 a month club. Maybe you've lost a bunch of money in the others and this is the one that "has" to take you there!

You're not alone out there. The statistics prove that successful network marketers go through at least 4 to 7 companies before they hit their gold mine. Which one are you on? What is it that you're doing or not doing that is preventing your success.

Let's look at how it really works.
In a nutshell, network marketing is a form of advertising that rewards its distributors for consistent performance and finding other distributors. A network marketing company can't pay commissions strictly on recruiting because that is the true definition of a pyramid scheme. So there has to be some sort of product or service that is being marketed.

Which company should you choose?
Most network marketing companies are very good. They pretty much all work, you just have to work them. The things you need to make sure of are: do the services or products work, is the compensation worth the effort, and the timing of the company. Lastly, you want to join a successful team that will actually help you get off of your feet. These are very important because you don't want to be marketing something that doesn't work or has a lousy pay scale or reinventing the wheel, or being left out to dry not knowing what to do next.

Can you really make money in network marketing?
Yes, there are several people across the world that have created their wealth in the network marketing industry. Don't think for a second that it didn't take work. Yes you have be on conference calls, and attending meetings and conventions, and selling product or services, and spending lots of time on the phone, and mostly motivating others to do the same thing.

What is the key to success in network marketing?
The main key is to stay consistent. There will be ups and downs, as with anything. If you have a product or service that everyone needs, it's just a numbers game. You can't get caught up with the "No's", you have to just keep on going. You can't be looking at network marketing as a get rich quick venture. You're just setting yourself up for failure and disappointment.

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

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

Here are eight success strategies for effective MLM leadership.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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