How Am I Supposed to Build My Network Marketing Business If I Cannot Advertise?

Well, I want to put network marketers at ease. The reason most companies put it in their policy and procedures is that they do not want someone tarnishing their names with inaccurate advertising. I was just in a conversation with a gentleman in a company and they were told by their company that you could not contact cold market. Now, in theory, I will take and say that what they don't want someone going out their and blasting to the world with spam messaging or emails to become part of the company. Now, that would get people upset at the company, and they really do not know enough about the company except someone was blasting info on it, and it ticked people off that did not care about the company.Now, let us say your name is Joe Smith, and you were screaming I am Joe Smith and you love the color blue and all the homes should be painted blue in Chicago. Now, many people would think that you need to be committed to a mental hospital. Now, maybe you also scream that you love Glidden paint. Now, the people hearing you may think you are with Glidden. Now, some gangs in Chicago hear this, and they start to paint homes in Chicago blue in the middle of the night. I would imagine that it would hit the news, and the news media would want to talk to Glidden to find out who this guy from their company was, and why Glidden started painting homes of those who did not want it, painted them blue? What if someone decided to sue Glidden? Now, this could be real bad press, and Glidden would have to defend their name. Does this mean Glidden has a bad product? No!This is exactly what the companies fear in the policies and procedures, not that you will paint peoples homes blue, but they have to care about what you do and say. It is their reputation, not yours. Now, Joe could be a painter, and he was trying to boost his business because Glidden had the best paint. But who had to defend themselves. Now, magnify this to the number of representatives in your networking company. One bad apple in a basket, can spoil the whole basket. Now, it your in the same company, do you want to be responsible to what all the others do? Of course not. When you became a distributor, you have become an independent distributor or business providing products to your customers. Who are your customers getting the product from? Your business and no one else. What happens if you are marketing products and you find a better supplier? Will you say you are with company ABC now, instead of XYZ? No. You are still your own business. Just like Walmart, they distribute many companies products, but when you are a customer, who are you a customer of? You are a customer of Walmart.So, can you advertise you? Yes. Can you advertise the benefits of the products you sell? Yes. Can you use the company name? NO! Can you use your business name? Yes! This is one of the biggest secret tools that most networkers do not get, is the tool of positioning. You need to position your business and provide to your customers the benefits that they get by coming through you. If you do excellent business, people will be attracted to you. If you do bad business, yes the people will come after you.Now, beyond positioning you need to know how to position yourself with the products. I could go into several articles on this, but sometimes, it is better to be trained and an education on how to build a business. Their are many people out there that can help you, find someone that you seem to understand and get with that person.

2 Vital Keys to Success in Any Work From Home Business

There are as many reasons why people would like to work from home as there are products that will allow you to live in this blissful state. But can it be done? Is there a way to find a product or opportunity that will not only allow us to replace our annual income but also make our kids proud of our new line of work. Let's look at two ways that will put you in the right mindset to ensure your success whatever level that may be.Before you even begin to think about a work from home, project you must ask yourself the simple questions of, what am I interested in? How much money would I like to make? As an internet marketing coach I feel there is a huge misconception in the work from home industry. People tend to think that work from home projects are a cookie cutter, one size fits all industry, this simply is not true. Whether you believe it or not, work from home is never one size fits all. You must understand what it is you are looking for, before you start any form of business, especially a business on the internet.So first let's look at what are your interests. Without much research I believe you will find that the people that are successful at any form of business have an interest in the industry they are in. In my opinion you should not look for the best opportunity but the opportunity that fits you the best. What is meant by this? Whether you know this or not there are hundreds of work from home business out there fighting for your business so therefore you are in the driver's seat and not the people that are trying to sell to you. So take your time, learn about the product or service that you are looking at promoting and ask yourself, could I see myself promoting this product or service? If you find a business that you feel could bring you the lifestyle that you have always dreamed of yet you have no real interest in the product, you must know now, even with all the help in the world or how easy it sounds to sell you will never, and I repeat never be successful. In order to make a business work, you must have some level of interest in the product or service. For the simple reason if you are only in it to make money, your future customers will smell this a country mile away and will never buy off someone that is only selling to make a fast buck. Ask yourself, would you?The second point you must look at is how much would you like to make? This is a key question to ask for the simple reason how much exposure is needed to reach your financial goals. Let's say for interest sake you are simply looking to make an extra hundred dollars a month. If this is the case you will not need a lot of exposure to do so. You will be able to reach a minimal number of people and only sell a modest amount of products. The huge challenge in any work from home business is exposure. Let me explain, you see in order to have hundreds if not thousands of orders you must first be able to get your product in front of as many people.This not only takes education to learn how to obtain this invaluable art but in times it also takes time and money. In order to not only reach thousands of people but also service them, you must have certain software to aid you in the amount of correspondence that is needed to show that you have the credibility to compete in this industry. There is no good in having customers if you cannot give them what they want, and this simply cannot be done with you alone. So let's say you would like to replace your annual income and this is something you would like to do as your full time job. That is great, and it can be done, I see people do it all the time. But understand that there is no luck in it whatsoever. These people have taken the time to educate themselves like any good business person. They have found a niche that they feel that there is a need for, but more importantly they understand how the industry works and they arm themselves accordingly. As an internet marketing coach this is one of the first things I talk about with my clients. We not only find what products they are interested in but more importantly how far they would like to take their business. From there I can offer them the appropriate education to get them there.The amazing fact of internet marketing is that you get to make this choice. You get to choose how big you would like to make your business. The fact is you can deal locally if you choose or you can blanket the plant with your product.Understanding an industry is ten times more powerful than simply having the tools to do so. I encourage anyone looking at work from home projects to ask themselves these very simple two questions before entering any work from home project. I think you will find that this little bit of a soul search that will put your new business on the right tracks right from the word go.

45 Seconds to Freedom

So, you're in a network marketing company. Now what?Right, it's time to use that memory jogger list that came in your new marketer network marketing training kit. Don't forget the drunk plumber who messed up your sewer back in '81 when you lived in St. Louis. You now live in LA. I am sure he'll remember you. Unless he is in the state hospital with a wet brain. Anyway, go ahead and make that list of 100, 200, 300, 500, 1000 people. Make sure to list every person you know, have ever met or wanted to meet. Living, dead or yet to be born. This part of the process should take you about 2 hours, according to your up line.OK, got your list done? Did you remember your 1st grade teacher? Just checking. Now it's time to work the phone. Yep, dialing for dollars. Smile and dial. Ready, set, go! Or is it ready, fire, aim? C'mon now, you've been staring at the phone for an hour already. Damn thing won't dial by itself. Must be a technical issue. Better check the warranty. Oh, you don't have a phone that dials itself? Imagine, it's 2010 and they still haven't come up with a phone that dials itself and that will do your presentation for you?Presentation? What presentation? Oh right,the one my up line didn't show me in their non existent network marketing training. Right after they told me all I have to do is invite everyone I breathe on to a "Business Presentation" being put on by a group of "Millionaire Masterminds" who are "associates" of yours. Yeah, that presentation. Well, it's been two weeks now, you talked to one friend that you ran into at the local watering hole on a Monday night ( had to watch football, right? I mean, you can start this MLM business thing tomorrow. Or better yet, next week after you've studied up some more and rested up a bit. Yeah, that's the plan.You mention to your friend at halftime that your "associates", who are "Millionaire Masterminds" are having an "opportunity" meeting next Saturday at the local Motel 6 and live bait shop. The first thing out of his mouth, after an hour and a half of tequila, beer and cursing out his hometown team because they are getting their butts' kicked is, what is it about?"Is it MLM or Network Marketing? Cause if it is, I ain't interested. My wife's' cousins' ex brother in laws' 3rd cousin by marriage was in one of those scams. Didn't make any money. All he ended up with was 50 boxes of soap in his garage."So you now decide that MLM / Network Marketing is a scam, a ripoff the likes of which makes Bernie Madoff look like a philanthropist. Your first mistake was trying to sponsor someone in a bar. What does that tell you about that persons' motivations and desires? Think he has any? And while we're on the subject, if you have a business to run, what were you doing there? I'm not judging, trust me I have spent a lot of time in bars, more than I care to admit. Haven't set foot in one in almost ten years now, but that's another story. The point is that looking for business in a bar ain't gonna get it done. Trust me, I tried it for years, it doesn't work.Did you ever ask your friend if he was even remotely interested not in the business opportunity, but in what financial independence could do for or bring him? Something such as: "John, have you ever thought of what it would be like to own your life?"What would you do if you were asked that question? Think about it, he would probably ask, "What do you mean?"If someone does answer that question in the negative, guess what? In about 45 seconds, you've qualified this person and found out that he is not a person that will most likely be successful in your business. This is what I mean when I say 45 seconds to freedom. Why invite him to an opportunity meeting of 2-3 hours, only to have him tell you what he just told you in 45 seconds? What did he tell with his answer? Simply, that he is not a person that you want to work with. It's called qualifying. Instead of wasting 2-3 hours of your valuable time, you're into this thing about 45 seconds, and that's if you speak slowly. And if you ask enough people a 45 second qualifying question, YOU WILL find people that are worth working with. And you will, in 45 second increments, reach financial freedom.See the difference?

Those who buy from you will get the same opportunity to sell the products.In some programs you also get the opportunity to have your primary business programs in there.

And there really is a lot of people who make money in short time when they implement what they learn in these education and training programs.What is important is that you invest most of the money you make in the beginning into your marketing, to grow your business.Signing into one program after another trying your luck, is no way to go.

Take the time to learn the skills you HAVE to learn, focus and take action. That is the way every marketer have succeeded till this day.

Online Network Marketing - Attraction Marketing

Attraction marketing for your online network marketing business has been around for several years. In traditional business attraction marketing has been around forever - they call it marketing, or direct response marketing. The reason why online network marketers get all excited about attraction marketing is that they are used to confrontational promotion and in-your-face hype and aggressive selling. Unfortunately, so much information on the internet does not pass the common sense or 'sniff' test. Everyone looking for any information online should be extremely skeptical about anything they see on the internet. And this is where marketing (or attraction marketing) will work its magic for you.Attraction MarketingExactly what is attraction marketing. Attraction marketing is where you actually have people start contacting you. The people in your target market are reading your message and finding you. At first it may be by accident. They may find an article on one of the article directories, or a blog post, or maybe a video on YouTube. They may have come across your profile on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn.Something that you have posted online has struck a chord with them. If you have done your homework, then you will know the needs and concerns of your target market. They will see your words of wisdom as filling a need and come looking for more. And because you are skilled at leaving clues and a trail for them to get tangled up in your brilliance, they will opt-in to your site to make sure they continue to receive your pearls of wisdom.The Golden RuleWhat do you need to do to separate yourself from the crowd? What makes you different from everyone else marketing their wares on the web? I believe it is important to treat others like you would like to be treated. Most people can sense when the people they meet are sincere, or just feeding them a line to try and sell them something. Think about your own situation. Can you tell when someone genuinely cares about what you want, or if they are just trying to move some product?How can you provide value to your target market? Will what you have to offer make their life better? The truly brilliant marketers will give out 'samples'. This is better than a money back guarantee. By providing free information (in exchange for a name and email), you are encouraging your target market to get to know you, like you, and trust you. And it generally takes several interactions for your prospect to reach the point where they are comfortable with you. You have treated them well, provided valuable information, and possibly helped solve some problems for them.Riches in NichesOne of the challenges we have in online network marketing is zeroing in on our target. And this is a challenge for any business owner - who do we want to attract as our ideal prospect? A common mistake is to try to be everything to everybody. Ask yourself, "Who do I have the perfect solution for? Who would be my ideal customer?" If you are marketing a weight loss product, would it make sense to narrow your focus to just men or just women? If you decided on women, would it make sense to specialize in helping new moms shape up or would you prefer to focus on baby boomer women and helping them face issues unique to them.In this example, can you see how the marketing message would be very different depending on who you are targeting? The further you drill down, the better the connection will be. Once you have your niche narrowed down, it becomes much easier to fine tune the message. You can research the specific issues and concerns that your niche is facing. You can build your story to identify with and help your new customers. Show them that you understand what they are going through and that you can help them. The challenge is in identifying a niche that is consistent with your values and passion; and the reward is sharing yourself and your business with your new best customers.

Finding the Best Home Based Business That's Just Right For You

For many years now I have always had a dream of having my own home based business. The whole idea of working from home, being my own boss really appealed to me. I always visualized the whole concept of being able to leave my full time job behind and actually being able to make a lucrative six figure income from the comfort of my own home.It was about three years ago when I really got serious about pursuing my dream of becoming a home based business owner, and so my search was on for just the right opportunity. Now being the way the law of attraction works I had my mind set on finding the right business opportunity,well all the opportunities started finding me. I came across business that were scams of course, but I also came across a lot more that were legit and potentially good money makers. The thing was choosing the one that was right for me.Now I can honestly say that over the past few years I have attempted maybe four or five home based businesses. And how many of these have I been successful at? None. Now I have had all the motivation and all the desire in the world. But the problem was quite simple I just did not like or more important I did not enjoy what I was doing. I had to do things like chasing down family and friends, inviting these same family and friends over to my house, under a false pretense. After feeding them I would then gather them around for a big sales presentation. I really didn't like doing this, but Hey I was trying to make money. Later it seemed like all my family and friends were avoiding me.Then I got myself involved in a business opportunity that promised to be very lucrative, but it involved Cold Calling potential costumers. I hated this even more than chasing down family and friends. I remember dialing the number and hoping the person wouldn't answer the phone. I was actually giving myself all kinds of dumb excuses why I couldn't sit down, get on the phone and work my business. So the point I'm trying to make with all of this is the reason I failed at these businesses, is i just didn't like what I was doing.Now to the present. I can happily tell you that now I am now a successful home based business entrepreneur. What's different now than before? Enjoyment. I really enjoy what I am doing in my business. After discovering Online Marketing I have since developed a passion for my home based business. And I have come to realize when you have the and love of what you are doing, you can't help but be successful.It's all about leveraging the amazing power of the internet. This is by far the best method of attracting huge amounts of traffic to my business. And the unique part about marketing a business on the internet is it's always 24 hours a day seven days a week even Holidays. So I am attracting business even as I sleep. And basically that is the key to a truly successful business. Making money while you sleep.Alfred W Simkins 3rd

Internet Marketing

Do you Want to Be A Pro Or Not? I am an world-wide-web marketer. My name is Josh Nicholson and I started out marketing not that long ago. When I very first began advertising I acquired a bunch of ClickBank goods that showed me the way to market. All I need to say is GARBAGE! DO not go and invest in all these little solutions that claim to tell you how to industry correctly. What I've discovered is the fact that folks are just obtaining these products on ClickBank with the sole purpose of creating cash. Do you think they give a crap should you make it or not? Nope. Actually from what I have skilled they do not give you all the details you may need because they want you to purchase there next 'big' item well worth a million dollars.I went ahead and acquired some of those get rich fast solutions and observed that I was just burning a hole in my pocket buying things I was told to that only definitely experienced marketers should be placing funds into. Anyways I just wished to obtain the point throughout to actually shop all-around and watch what you buy. It took me several years of seeking and getting on the web to truly discover some good solutions to have into. I'm Extremely picky on what I invest my dollars on, a minimum of which is what I would like to imagine! I have placed most of my time and work into what I thought was likely to turn out excellent that had a fantastic group and item help on plenty of items. Obviously it failed like any individual would without the suitable mentoring and guidance that a single requires for being successful and pass the understanding curve that you have to in order to commence producing sales within your niche.I would like to let you know that you simply will not ought to have an net marketing degree and that internet advertising is in fact very uncomplicated. Extremely simple. All it's, is consistency and function ethic. You have to be committed and be dedicated or you may well as properly quit now. Have you ever noticed on the one particular in 10 rule? Only a person in 10 that are shopping to buy that cease at your internet site basically examine it with interest. They may put in there e-mail or contact you somehow then you have to convert them correct? It often ends up becoming 1 in 10, always. Even in the event you will not get a sale for two months with one hundred readers but all of a sudden you obtain ten revenue. It constantly ends up getting a person in ten and if it's not then maybe your not undertaking something correct together with your search engine optimization or your web page is so poor that persons are wishing they forgot it!Either way in case your going to be flourishing you will need mentoring. There's no other way close to it. What you imagine, your going to show yourself all 100 different ways to market? Even should you picked two or three how do you consider you're going to teach oneself? Is it possible to envision all of the trial and error you'd have to go through to discover the suitable path? Why not allow an individual prepare you tips on how to go the right way within the starting? Stop surfing all-around the net everyday telling your wife or husband that your going to be generating plenty of dollars soon, LOL. Which is what I have been performing! It took me a extended time to last but not least 'surrender'. I started out searching for someone to train me. I identified it and I now see the light! Are you currently trying to find the best way however? The ideal issue I can do is indicate you how I became flourishing at net advertising. You can last but not least begin calling it a enterprise and use a great group to information you anytime you receive stuck. I honestly cannot even describe what I've discovered I just want you to examine it out.

How to Evaluate a Part Time MLM Business

If you have been thinking about starting an MLM business the best place to start is to seek out someone who may already be involved in the industry you are considering. Don't get started in a business where you can't point to someone who isn't already successful.There are numerous MLM businesses out there that make a ton of promises, however most of them are not programmed for the average person to succeed. Through trial and error we know the number one reason why people drop out of MLM. Low commissions. The products and company we were marketing were excellent it was the very low odds of making any money in the early years.We weren't quitters in those early years and there were times it was difficult to stay focused, but the products worked so well we stayed in the business. After a few years we did finally start making a respectful income, however a lot of people we tried to help start up in the business soon quit because there just wasn't much money in the early going.Now we were with a very good company that made fabulous products, but we soon made another startling discovering about succeeding in the fickle world of an MLM business.You see we were selling products that although were beneficial to your health they just weren't something people needed everyday. What we found out (the hard way) was people didn't always order their products every month, some refused to be on an autoship program and there were times people just didn't have the extra money.It started to become a losing battle replacing customers just as fast as we were getting them. Now don't get me wrong we were doing our job, but we couldn't control the circumstances of all our customers. Again we had the right products, but not everyone saw a need to have them all the time.Even though the money was decent it wasn't always consistent. Once we discovered the missing link to being successful in MLM we never looked back.Based on our experience with our first MLM adventure we wanted to steer away from a company that marketed products that consumers didn't necessarily need. Instead we wanted to work with a company that sold a variety of products that people needed everyday.There are two simple keys to making in big in MLM:1.) Market and Endorse Products that People Use Everyday. 2.) Don't worry about the low commissions in the early going. You never make much money in the first few months of a new MLM. Seeing the bigger potential of the business is what's important.If you can accomplish these two small steps in starting your business then you can be assured of success. Remember this is a part time venture anyway so start slow and easy and develop a belief and knowledge of your product line. Product knowledge is without a doubt the key to your success so learn your products frontwards and backwards.

The Importance of Time Management

This morning, I was taking my cat, Sassy, to the groomer. This is not a pleasant task as she earns her name daily but especially when riding in the car, she wails constantly! So the minutes seem like hours. While I was stopped at a red light, it seemed like that light would never turn green! I don't recall it being so long. Although I wasn't actually running late, I was anxious to get the trip over with so it felt like I was running late.Have you ever noticed that when you are "running late":
Every light turns red
Someone in front of you drives below the speed limit
You get behind a school bus
There is an accident ahead
You realize you are nearly out of gasIt seems like the whole world is rallied against you. Why does this happen? It is simply the Law of Attraction! You are focused on being late! Next time, try repeating over and over "No worries, I am right on time." Or, you could learn to manage your time better so you never feel like you are running late!I am one of those people who hates to be late. But there are people in this world who are ALWAYS late. Have you ever heard the saying, "she is going to be late for her own funeral?" It is simply a matter of time management.What is important for effective time management?
Prioritize
Plan the entire day as much as possible
Focus on when you need to start something, not when you need to end
Contingency planning
Recognize and eliminate time wasters
Handle each item only once if possible
Eliminate clutter and be organizedYou need to know each day what your priorities are so you make sure the most important things get done. My main priority today is getting my cat groomed (since I have an appointment) and everything else needs to work around that. My second priority is getting a workout in. My third is writing articles so I can be a finisher in the contest I am in. My fourth is getting laundry done.Once you know your priorities you need to plan your day. You will not necessarily do your priority 1 item first because that might not be efficient or it might not even work. I did not need to be at the groomer's office until 8-8:15, so I got a workout and breakfast in before that. When you plan the entire day, you can save time by recognizing how to group activities together. For example, my hairdresser and my wholesale club are both about 12 miles away. Why go to BJs at 9 AM when they first open if I have a hair appointment at 11:30?Don't forget to allow time for the things you do every day that seem mundane. How often do you hear people say that they never eat breakfast, or they don't exercise, because they don't have time? Everyone has the same amount of time each day! It is simply a matter of priorities and time management.One thing some people do, is they keep in their head the time they need to arrive. The time you need to be on your way is what counts. You have to work backwards, allow for different traffic patterns like rush hour and school bus times, and add in a fudge factor. Of course sometimes, something like an accident will still make you late but you would be even later without proper planning! I almost was running late today for that very reason. I had 8:15 on my mind instead of 7:45. I realized this and decided not to put on makeup. I did not think it was important to the people at the groomer's office. Breakfast was more important to me at the time!What are time wasters? Anything that does not add value to your day in some way. One big time waster I eliminated was reading junk email. I was thinking there might be something important in there, but finally realized it was just a time waster! Another one was reading magazines; I get more value from self development books. Just start looking at each activity with a critical eye and ask what you get out of it.One time waster is handling things more than once. This has always been taught relative to paper but it applies just as much to electronic messages. Learn to recognize what can be deleted or thrown away immediately, what you can read and then discard, and what needs to be filed away for later reference.Finally, clutter is a HUGE time waster and not just for the obvious reason. Of course it will take longer to find what you need if you are digging through clutter. But there is also a mental factor at work. When you see clutter, or even if you just know where it is (like the basement, the garage) it tends to fluster you. You feel like you are not on top of things, like things are getting away from you. And that drains your energy! Eliminating time wasters will give you more time to get organized. If you have LOTS of clutter, make it a priority to set aside the time to get rid of it, even if it's a little bit at a time. Handling items only once will help you keep clutter under control. There is no substitute for good filing systems, both paper and online!Now I just need to get back to the groomer at 1 PM and make my 3 PM conference call. Got it under control!

The question is how do marketers differentiate themselves from that particular ad especially if they are marketing a product that addresses acne problems? The answer was simple.

For example, in this case, an online marketer would create an ad with this headline: "How To Get Rid Of Acne Fast."Just the simple act of adding the adjective "fast" made a big difference. You can type the keywords "How To Get Rid Of Acne" into the Google search engines just to see how competitive the organic search results are for that term. Do you see how those headlines in the search results look so similar? The only difference is that many of them have added either an adverb to the end of that keyword phrase just to make themselves stand out.

Are You Losing Money Online? Avoid This Overlooked Mistake

You have been studying ways of making money and you have make a decision to begin your MLM enterprise.You recognize that many self millionaires came from this area, so you decide that you will give it a try.But what is the catch with this business model, how come you are losing money as opposed to making it!You consider that it is OK to pay the price so you go on with the monthly expenses that your company requires since you consider you are learning business skills.This is an important issue you face in the MLM industry. Network marketing companies have monthly expenses. You need to set up an auto-ship program in order to have product to sell or at least pay for a monthly membership; that is not including company events and budget for advertisement.The truth is that after awhile you are not getting any results; you came to this industry to make some money and now you have a monthly expense instead. You are losing money online!Yes, a business opportunity will help you build a significant residual income; as the matter of fact network marketing is one of the easiest and more powerful ways to do just that, you leverage other people's work and make a profit from it. In fact Robert Kiyosaki believe that the MLM industry allows you to move from the employee quadrant to the business quadrant a lot easier and faster than other business models.The problem is that many people buy into the incredible products and compensation plans of the companies without considering that they still need to learn how to market those products and the opportunity itself.So how can you turn this around?Build up your assets and learn the business skills before you join a company.The biggest asset any business can have is a list of potential buyers that want what the company offers.So there you go, build your list of people that like you and trust you that are interested on what you offer.The way to build that list is to offer information free of charge that help your followers to achieve their goal, which in this case will be to profit from their business. This will build the trust.Then in the long run they will be ready to pay for your tools, programs, courses or any affiliations that will help them get results faster. This is where you build your capital.The key to stop losing money online is to start making positive cashflow while you are building your list of buyers.Remember, network marketing is one of the fastest industries to create a fortune, but you don't need a business opportunity to begin building your must have asset, your list of buyers that trust you and are making you a positive cashflow that you can use as a working capital for your business.

Finally, A Logical Global Information Network Review

I've read a Global Information Network review or two and I must say most have me rolling on the floor laughing like I just left a George Carlin show.I find it amusing that there's confusion about why GIN is focused on the secret society "angle". After looking into the Global Information Network extensively, I've discovered that their focus isn't on secret societies, such as Bilderberg, the Illuminati, Skull & Bones, the CFR, etc, so much as it is on empowering individuals to rise up within society.Now, isn't that the same chief aim of pretty much every network marketing company currently existing on planet Earth?Sure is, which brings me to the point that GIN isn't much different from any other MLM business you could decide to sink your teeth into.Benefits of MembershipA GIN membership (the product) contains an amazing collection of written, audio and video material on subjects such as personal development, ways to make money, business skills, mental skills, Law of Attraction, health, martial arts, how to save and invest money, how to pay off debt, how to save on taxes, etc.One advantage Global Information Network members seem to have that reps in MonaVie, Global Resorts, Alivamax, Genesis Pure, Jusuru, 21Ten, Pre-Paid Legal, PFS, Amway, Mary Kay, etc don't have is the fact that Kevin Trudeau is on the KT Radio Network every week advertising the GIN opportunity for you.What's Your Marketing Expertise?Now comes the bad part: it appears that most GIN reps aren't making much money at all. Now comes the good part: First, there's no Global Information Network scam... because most folks in any MLM opportunity aren't making much cash.Second, there's a solution. You see, you CAN make a TON of money as a GIN member. Their compensation plan is one of the best in the business.However, unless you have a solid attraction based sales funnel system in place, your results will be the same as the guy hassling the guy at McDonald's to come down to the Wednesday night hotel meeting.If you want success in the Global Information Network business opportunity, you've got to master 21st Century MLM techniques...things such as pay-per-click advertising, article marketing, video marketing, hub page marketing, branding, social media, etc.My Global Information Network review can be summed up like this: the opportunity and comp plan are fantastic, you would do well to pursue the opportunity, but you'll fail unless you learn how to market and brand yourself through a proven, systematic marketing program.

Residual Income Business - Why Do You Need a Business Plan to Grow Your Business Online?

Why is it so necessary? Have you ever failed in a business and said to yourself that this was not the business for me? Then read on, because I am going to shed some light on this important aspect of having a business plan and why you failed in the business because of not having it. But, first let me ask you a question.Have You Ever Joined An Opportunity, Which You Thought is The Best For You To Earn Money But You Failed?I think your answer would be yes. Then why did you fail or are not getting results the way you desired? Think about what did you do wrong. The one answer which will creep into your mind would be, I did not have a good plan to grow my business. This is nothing but a business plan. A step-by-step action plan we create for ourselves and follow it no matter what other things come in between.What Is An Effective Business Plan?What exactly is an effective business plan? It is nothing but, how you are going to perform your day-to-day activities to achieve your goals in your residual income business. It gives you a work plan to do every single day. And, most importantly, you get satisfied if you complete the days' work and are happy that things for today are completed, even if you do not get results tomorrow. This is the main reason to have a business plan. Because, if you are happy with what you do today, you will do it more effectively tomorrow. And you will get better results if you continue to do it everyday.Using A Business Plan As A Tool To Grow Your Business.Yes, you heard it right, it is indeed a tool in your way to growth of your residual income business. It is how you are going to work for your prosperity and financial freedom. It is how you are going to approach certain aspects like creating a website, generating traffic to it, how you are going to follow up to your potential prospects, what ways of traffic generation you are going to use. Every single thing comes under your business plan, and it will enhance your productivity to your own business. With it, you would be able to know what works and what does not work in your business, and most importantly, which method works for you.So, Is It Necessary?I would say yes, it is necessary and ask you to go ahead and create a business plan, do not think about the results you will get, just think about what you are going to do everyday?, how you are going to do it?. Write it down on a piece of paper or on the notepad of your PC, and follow it day in day out, sooner, or later you will edit it, or make it more complex, and get better results from it.

Five Factors to Look For When Choosing an MLM Consultant

The role of the MLM consultant has grown in popularity. It is true that at times we need to seek the advice of the experts in particular fields that we find ourselves unable to tackle.This arises particularly when we are faced with some complex matters that we know little or have no clue at all. But bear in mind that there are good and bad experts in the market, so you need to have a clue on how to isolate the good ones from the bad ones.Understand that a portion of the MLM consultants can be also network marketers who pass themselves off as consultants. Consulting is a profession that requires certain knowledge. Just being one of the network marketers alone does not qualify one to be an expert.Don't judge network marketers to be experts just because they became successful. Their successes could have been because they snagged the right opportunities with the right company at the right time.Five Factors to Consider when Selecting MLM consultant1. Track RecordsA skilled MLM consultant keeps a track record for clients to inspect in hopes of signing new ones. If they are keenly and well kept, then this is a good sign that they are not trying to hide anything.Check on their actual results instead of just believing what they say to you about their accomplishments. Inquire if there are some past clients available for you to contact in order to at least get their testimony.2. CredentialsDo they have reliable credentials? What is their consulting experience? Are they from the right business background? What type of educational degree do they hold? The answers to these questions are important. Usually, consultants have some kind of portfolio to show their prospective clients. Inquire about this and examine it keenly.3. ProfessionalismProfessionalism always needs to be present before assigning any MLM consultant. Do they appear to be professional? Do they talk like a professional? Find the answers for these questions before you hire one.4. Problem SolvingDoes the consultant ask you questions on what your problems are? Genuine Consultants ask numerous questions; this is part of their job as MLM consultant. You want to hire one who solves your problems and not to be part of the problem. Be certain that their inquiries are targeted on getting you ahead of the game. This is why you pay them.5. ExperiencedThere are those multiple level marketing experts that have never worked in the field of MLM. They haven't ever had to recruit people nor have they sold any multiple level products. In spite of all this they still call themselves MLM consultants. Be certain that the one you select brings the right experience.

Leadership Principles For Today's Network Marketers - 10 Must Know MLM Strategies For Success

What if there were 10 Key Leadership Principles that if learned and put into practice, would change your life and your business? Would you study them and take action?The first principle is Loyalty. How loyal are you to your team, your company, & yourself? Can you count on yourself to follow through and are you totally committed for the long haul? Are you presently building four different companies? Have you considered that scattered focus brings scattered results? What will it take you to get into the fast lane in your business, your relationships, and every other area of your life? Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10. Then write one thing you can do to incrementally move up;...not to a ten, just one at a time.The second leadership principle for today's networker has to do with this idea of servant leadership, which John Maxwell covers so well. In your network marketing company, are you building people up, treating them each differently, and creating an environment for success for them? Or are you carrying one conversation into another and treating each new & existing person in your organization with script mentality, like a number, or not trusting your gut instinct with how you've come to know that individual? Altogether, are you empowering them to grow into their full potential? You guessed it; Empowerment is our second principle. So can you see the acorn inside of the tree? Are you empowering your people by challenging them and creating an environment for success, or enabling them with promises that their business will be built for them? Repeat our first process and rate yourself on Empowerment from 1-10, listing one action you can take daily/weekly to move up the scale.Here's a huge question for you; what are you presently attracting into your business and your life? Are you satisfied? Fact: Environment is stronger than willpower. There is no better example of this than our industry and what it does for peoples lives. Going back to Empowerment, our industry provides a person a safe place of support and encouragement when other parts of their surroundings may not be so positive and supportive.Like attracts like and you will absolutely attract that which you are being into your business. That said, the third leadership principle is Attraction. The goal is to manage what we focus on, which manages our state, that manages our energy, and thus we've managed what we attract! Think about what you were focusing on and what your energy was like when you've attracted the best successes and people into your life. Here is the secret; to attract top 10 performers into your business, you have to have equal or greater energy than them. To often we focus on things that don't serve us; this lowers our focus, energy, and the chance of manifesting what we seek to attract. In this area of Attraction, one strategy will serve you very well; if someone in your business of personal life behaves in a way that is less desirable, speak to the better part of them. When you react to their present behavior, you get more of that, and less of the better part of them. Obviously the reverse is so true! Now score yourself honestly from 1-10.Number four; D stands for Develop. What value do you place on yourself and your growth? Do you have a self imposed limitation? The fact is, you always bring yourself to the stage...and everything that's going on with you! T Harv Ecker says, "What's going on on the inside shows up on the outside." Take that as a metaphor for every other area too. This one is real simple; how much are you committed to developing yourself to develop your business? Your business will only develop to the extent you do.We'll start the fifth leadership principle for today's networker with a quote from John Maxwell; "Leaders who attract followers need to be needed. Leaders who attract leaders want to be succeeded." Which kind of leader are you? The latter in his quote are the leaders that want to create legacy. How is the Exponential Growth in your business? You guessed it, that's the 'E' for number five. Leaders who attract followers focus on the weakness. Leaders who attract leaders focus on strength. In addition to this, a great process to attract who you want for exponential growth is by getting clear on the attributes of the leaders you want in your business. Maybe its being coachable, a great listener, someone who's humble, driven?? The clearer you get on these, the more of these people you'll see showing up. How are you in the area attracting leaders to your group and explosive, Exponential Growth? Be honest with your 1-10 score and what you plan to do to move it up.Number six is a big deal. Are you giving reasons for your performance or getting results?! In our sixth principle, responsibility, blaming, justifying, and complaining have no place. Responsibility is the ability to respond. Blame, justification, and complaints are the polar opposite and will destroy your business. End of story.That being said, does your business shift and operate differently daily? Are you reliable?Are you responsible? Responsibility is our seventh leadership principle every networker must cultivate. Can you be trusted by those around you; in work and play? The speed of trust equals change. Covey has seven sub-principles that break down Trust, and thus measure responsibility. They include communicating, demonstrating, transparency, righting wrongs, delivering results, following through on verbal commitments, listening first, and extending trust first. I'll have info about a training DVD where you can learn these at length. For now, give yourself a general rating.Number eight can be summarized in a quote from my mentor & Chief Training Officer (Isagenix) David Wood; "If you want to build a ship don't drum up people to collect wood and assign them tasks, but rather reach into their hearts & teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." How much heart do you really have for what you're doing? Are you so enthralled with the mission of your company that you can't sleep at night?! Maybe you're offer your service selflessly to a higher power, unattached to the outcome? Do you do what's uncomfortable? These are all examples of Heart. Take a moment to be really honest with yourself and again score yourself from 1-10. How you implement these will directly impact your results. Do you want a big shift or not?We touched a little on the ninth letter in Leadership earlier with Responsibility. Responsibility is in many ways what determines Integrity, our ninth key principle today's networker must put into practice. What is Integrity? Here is a great equation: strategy + character = Integrity. Keeping the agreements you set with yourself is the most important thing you can do. Do you trust yourself? This may be an eye opening formula: Integrity = Self Trust = Confidence = Ability to Take Action and have people Trust joining you. Ask yourself, "How do people feel about me when I don't keep my commitments?" Next, "How do I feel when I don't keep commitments to myself? A great philosophy is to make the decision about the next day the night before, not when your alarm clock goes off. Where are you on your commitments to yourself and others? This one is huge, so take some time and be honest.By now you may be perplexed wondering about the tenth crucial principle for today's networker. The good news is, number ten is a breath of fresh air. All of this may seem like a lot to examine, inventory, and create movement with. That's why the 'P' in leadership stands for Process! Growing yourself and your leadership in your network marketing business is a journey. The 'Law of Process' is the ability to keep taking action. Are you willing and committed to create your desired end result? Have you written out your life vision backwards with the end in mind, as Covey teaches?Now is the time for you to cultivate L-E-A-D-E-R-S-H-I-P. Its officially Now O' Clock. You, your team, your family, & community deserve the leader that you really are. Its up to you now. As David Wood said, "Are you going to take action and make a shift or will this be more 'Shelf Help'?You deserve it all,David Emil Lombard

Why MLM Genealogy Also Known As MLM Genealogy Leads Are the Quickest Ways to Go Broke

Using MLM genealogy also known as MLM genealogy leads are one of the quickest ways to go broke in your MLM business. Most people who use these leads for their business are under the impression that because these leads consist of people who have been a customer or a distributor in a MLM company once before, that they would be the most qualified to contact about their business.MLM genealogy leads are a list that includes old out dated leads and most of them quit MLM and are not interested in becoming a rep again. Just because they have been exposed to MLM in the past does not make them very targeted. This is just as ineffective as wasting money on biz opp leads from lead companies. You will still have to spend countless hours on the phone cold calling them while dealing with the sting of rejection trying to convince them that your primary company is the next big thing.MLM genealogy leads will also drain your bank account so fast in the process struggling to recruit that it is likely you will get so frustrated that you may quit and end up on someone else's MLM genealogy list. I don't care if their biz opp or MLM leads. The best quality leads don't come from buying them from some lead vendor. I know you want fresh targeted leads for your business and the best way for you to get them is to learn who are the right people to target for your business, were to find them and how to get them to your web site. This process can be done without dealing with rejection, cold calling or spending more money then you make.

Now, to their credit, the company claims that they are adding a new set of products virtually every day.What Is It Exactly That They Offer?The core business model is that one can earn money through the opportunity of running a mini auction site yourself. While the dubli auction site on the surface appears to function just like any other online auction potral, there are a couple distinct differences when you really look at it. It operates off of a credit based system, where you buy the credits in order to put bids on various items up for auction. The credits work like virtual cash, and the more credits that you have, the better of a visual you have about the details of the item, and you can buy up to 500 credits.So How Exactly Does The Dubli Auction Work?Like we talked about before, it really functions much like any other auction site. The largest difference you see at first glance is that it is credit based. The actual credits that you buy allow you to be able to place bids on items up for auction.So What's The Real Deal?In summary, what does this particular dubli review think of the opportunity, is it a scam? To be honest here, the actual system itself appears a little confusing at first glance, which might turn some people off.But, if you are going to really get your duble network marketing opportunity to produce some real cash for you, you need to learn how to market it. When the rubber meets the road, success in any MLM business, or business in general really comes down to learning how to market and reach potential customers for your business or product. In the end, unless we figure out how to connect with people and provide solutions to people, we are doomed to failure.To learn much more than what is in this short dubli review and really learn about building your business for the long term, read below and click on the link for more information.

Are You Afraid of MLM?

Why are people afraid of MLM?They think it is illegal
They don't understand how it worksThere are some illegal rascals out there, and I have written other articles on how to avoid them. So let's start by accepting that there are some legitimate, legal MLM opportunities. And let's look at how MLM works.Most people do "network marketing" every day. They just don't get paid for it! Network marketing is nothing more than telling other people about a product or service you like. How often have you shared with someone else:A great restaurant
A good movie
Where to find a bargain on a product
A product that made you feel better
A contractor who did good work for you
A nice hotel with good serviceThe list goes on and on. While some businesses will give you a reward (like points toward a future product or service) for referring new business, most will not. And they definitely won't reward you for the person who was referred by the person you referred! In other words, if they do give rewards it is "one level" only.Traditional businesses also pay for advertising. Have you ever heard the price tag for a super bowl ad? A local company providing an advertising magazine recently wanted me to buy a quarter-page ad and it costs over $300. Advertising costs businesses lots of money.Most multi-level marketing companies use exclusively word-of-mouth advertising (network marketing) to sell their products, and the money they would have spent on traditional advertising is paid out in commissions to their distributors. It is called multi-level because you earn money not just on the sales you make personally, but also on the sales made by your team. For example, if you sponsor Sally as a distributor you will earn commissions on Sally's sales. If Sally sponsors Joe you will also earn commissions on Joe's sales.This concept seems somehow immoral to some people. They think they would be paid for something they didn't do. But think about it...Joe wouldn't be selling products for this company if it weren't for Sally, and you sponsored Sally, so you are responsible for Joe being in the company.It's simply leverage. Let's say you own several fast food franchises and never actually work behind the counter in any of them. You pay employees an hourly wage to prepare and sell the food. You take all of the risk (paying employees even if no customers come in, paying the rent and utilities, buying the food) and earn money from the work of ALL of those employees when customers do come in. If you are successful, you are out playing golf or sailing or whatever you enjoy doing while your employees are working.When you work for someone else or in a business where you get paid by the job (like a hair stylist, a massage therapist, or even a doctor) you are trading time for money. You are not taking advantage of leverage.A MLM business lets you take advantage of leverage. It just happens to be a whole lot cheaper and easier to start than a "brick and mortar" business. To me, the best part is that everyone who joins your team has the same opportunity. You are leveraging the efforts of team members as opposed to employees, and every team member can grow their own team.I love the concept!

Just Because You Build it, it Doesn't Mean They'll Come

Contrary to popular opinion, just because you build a website-no matter how spectacular it is-people won't start flocking there in droves. I can't believe the number of people who come to me and tell me their site is informative and colorful and yet they garner no traffic. A large number of them have even paid a website designer to create them a "masterpiece" so-to-speak, but they just aren't able to drive traffic to their site and they most certainly don't rank impressively in the search engines.I know that when I first started our business, I had no idea you could coax a search engine-or bribe one! But you can and it doesn't mean paying one of those companies that promise to get you to the top of Google. That may work for a short term (in rare cases when it is a legitimate company), but it won't serve you long term and help continue your successful presence on that enormous world wide web.A friend of mine has taught me a great deal about what will and will not secure rankings for a site. In those lessons, I realized that most people just don't get it. And that is a tough thing to find out the hard way and may just determine whether a business makes it or not. This friend of mine has been in the business for years and is what you would call an SEO Guru. She makes a great living by actually "teaching" people how to get where they want to be and stay there.She taught me, "Getting to the top of Google is one thing, staying there is another. Your position is affected by AUTHORITATIVE, VALID, RELEVANT, and CURRENT content. If a company promises to get you to the top of Google, but you don't contribute regularly to your site and social-media presence in a manner to sustain it, you will go to the bottom of the search-results list -and I do mean bottom. Then you pay them again. It's a vicious cycle. There is no reason to pay someone. Simply follow sensible rules and you will maintain and improve your positioning."First and foremost, blog sites can rank high quickly in search engines. It is a known fact. And most people don't realize that they are hurting themselves from the get-go by not having a blog site. They also misunderstand that a blog site doesn't just have to be a blog. It can contain and all content you wish to put on it-multi-media, text, images, contact forms, etc. But there should be a link that features blog postings as well and that content should be updated regularly.In setting up your site, it is definitely important to express yourself and your company through it's design. But no matter how much you pay a designer, just having a great looking site isn't going to tell people that the site is out there and it most certainly isn't going to provide them a road map to find that spectacular site. So before you fall for the "when I build it, they will come" theory, make sure you clearly understand what it takes to actually direct those people and they will come.

10 Reasons Why a Moron Can Make Money in Network Marketing

You don't have to be a brilliant person to make a ton of money in network marketing. In fact you can be a complete moron and still make more money than most people if you're willing to follow the system that is in place for your business and you are willing to work consistently and diligently.Here are 10 reasons why a moron can make money in network marketing (and why you'd be a moron not to join one)1. The system is already in place - You don't have to have a great mind for business. With network marketing the system is already there for you. All you have to do is follow it and you can't fail.2. Low start up cost - What business do you know that you can start for less than $500 bucks... heck less than $5000 bucks. I can't think of one... except network marketing.3. People are invested in you! - When someone brings you into the business they are invested in YOU! They want you to succeed and they won't stop until you reach your goals. When was the last time your boss did that for you. With network marketing you'll always have someone in your corner.4. Tons of training - There are a million and one resources for someone who wants to learn how to work from home. And the best part is that most of these resources are FREE either online or through different people in your company.5. The internet makes it easy - The internet is the best tool for network marketing. Working on the internet is less expensive and a whole lot easier than the way people use to do network marketing. It's also a lot more fun and anyone can learn it in no time!6. No experience required - You don't have to bring a bunch of prior experience to the table. Just come as you are and we can show you how to become successful.7. The more you do the more you learn - Network marketing is simple. The more you do it the better you get.8. The money comes quickly - No you won't be rich overnight and yes it will take some hard work and effort on your part. However, most businesses today are set up to let you make money right away. So you can be making money in your first month. How does a few extra hundred or thousand sound for your first month in business?9. It's better that you don't think too much - Honestly, sometimes the more you think the harder you make it on yourself. Better to just follow the system and the training that is already in place for you than to over think what you're doing. I've seen people really mess up their business because they just think too darn much!10. Morons have come before you - Yep, it's true. I've seen people who have a hard time spelling their name make ridiculous amounts of money working from home! That's why I can so boldly tell you that anyone (even a moron) can do it. It's been proven time and time again. Network marketing just plain works... period!

Coaching and Mentoring For Your Home Based Business

Coaching, mentoring, training: We have all heard these words, especially in a Network Marketing or MLM style of business. The issue is not if we know what they mean; it is if we know how to do it.I have heard people say that they cannot do it because they are afraid to get up on stage, they do not like to be center stage. Others do not know what they should be coaching on or how to mentor somebody. And I have even been told that it is not possible for them as they are not a powerful motivational speaker. All of these things are just excuses from your mind that is not allowing you to be successful in your business.To be a good coach or mentor, what you need to do is to figure out how to be the best in your business that you possibly can. Learn everything that you can on how to grow, what the best techniques are to market your style of business. Do a lot of personal development by reading on different topics that pertain to your business. This could be sales techniques, product information, marketing strategies, communication, or simply something that motivates you. Now you need to put all of this into practice and make it work for you. Close the sales, grow your team, do the parties or events and make them successful. Guess what, you are ready to be a great coach.Believe it or not, this is all that it takes. This with the courage to say "Here is what I am doing; here is how I am doing it. If you want the success that I am having, follow along." I can hear everyone saying now that it is not this easy; there are many other factors that are involved. True, however if you have the initial knowledge of your business and have made it work for you, then you already know the obstacles that are presented. You can troubleshoot for those that you are training and help figure out solutions that arise as you know what the final outcome will be.John C Maxwell says in his book "Developing the Leader Within You" that there are three main components to being a good leader. Knowing, Showing and Inspiring. Knowing how to do a job, showing others how to, and inspiring others to do better. We do not need to over analyze how to be a good coach. Many of us feel that it is more difficult than it really is. We do not need to be a Jim Rohn or Zig Zigglar - if you do not know those names, you better get to a bookstore really quick. What you need to have is the want for your business to succeed, and the desire to help others to create a business that they can succeed in as well.You put these into play and you will be surprised at what you become as a result of it. I wish you all the success you will create for yourself.

But what makes such an announcement so exciting, and how can it help you?When a brand new MLM Company is announced, it seems like the entire industry goes bananas. Turns out there's a really good reason why so many people get excited, and it could even benefit you to join in the fray.Why Joining A New MLM Company Makes SenseWhile this isn't a stead-fast rule, many people find that joining a new network marketing company while it's in its infant stages offers them the best potential long-term financial rewards. Why? Because joining early means that you'll become one of the top business owners right out of the gates.You're probably saying to yourself: "So? Why should that matter?" Here's why:Many MLM corporate offices receive multiple calls per day from people who want to sign up for the company, but were never approached by a business owner. These folks don't have sponsors. They just want to sign up and start building their MLM home business. Guess what the corporate offices usually do? They randomly assign them into someone's downline.This means that if you are one of the first people to get started in the MLM company, there's a great chance that you'll end up with more and more of these random prospects over time. And as your downline grows, so too will the odds of you landing these little gems.Another Important ConsiderationWhen New MLM Companies launch, they create a lot of buzz. Word hits the streets and everybody wants in. This buzz is basically free advertising, so long as you've starting building a business in the company.Is This For You?Like everything, there are some big pros and cons to joining a new MLM company, but if you personally weight the pros and cons, you might find that it's worth looking into.
