Will Collecting License Tag Information Really Be Lucrative?

There are a couple of MLM companies based on having people collect and enter information on license plate numbers they see around town. You enter the tag number and where you saw it into a data base. Supposedly, this information will be sold to law enforcement agencies to help track down criminals.If you are a fan of and of the CSI or NCIS shows, you probably know that nearly every major intersection in the US has a traffic camera. Toll booths also have them. If you have watched the reality TV shows about police chases, you probably know that many (maybe all?) police officers and state troopers have cameras mounted to their dashboard. I saw a show a few years ago where a trooper was shot by a man he had pulled over. The camera recorded the incident and the criminal was later apprehended.With all of this information available to them for free, why would law enforcement agencies pay a data collection company especially when the data may not even be timely? As far as I know there is no time limit for how quickly members must enter the data into the system.I always recommend that people research an opportunity thoroughly before joining and one site that is good to check is mlmwatchdog.com. They have some interesting information on these companies. They also posted a funny idea for making tons of money. Anyone can buy a dashboard camera for around $2800 so they suggested you could automate the data collection and enter lots of license plate numbers! I believe each member is limited though as to how many they can enter. Maybe you could have multiple positions?If you are considering joining one of these companies, I would also ask someone in law enforcement if they think the idea has any merit. Remember that in a multi-level structure, multiple people would get paid for each data entry.What I really find disturbing is the way these opportunities are marketed. They are tugging at people's heartstrings by telling them that this system will help with Amber Alerts, to catch kidnappers of children. I believe that someone who kidnaps a child must be aware that they are a top priority for the police and FBI. Some might not be very bright, but I would assume most of them do not stay in one place very long and might even change vehicles.It seems that timely information is crucial in these cases. The members of these MLM companies type license tag numbers into the database at their convenience. If they are just trying to make money by collecting the information will they care if it is timely? Since they are probably collecting this information while away from their home, unless they are carrying a device with internet access they would almost never enter the data the instant they saw the vehicle. Is data that is hours or even days old useful to law enforcement?It will be interesting to see if these companies survive. I have my doubts.

Network Marketing Online - Avoid These Critical Mistakes to Be Successful Online

Network Marketing Online must be approached like any other business, logically!To get it to work you must apply the same, sound business principles that have worked for setting up traditional offline businesses. Confused? That's probably because somewhere along the way you have come to believe that doing business online is different. It is, but the principles for setting yourself up in business are the same. This is where so many people go wrong. They replace sound logic with emotional hype. All this does is qualify you for the path to nowhere.I'd like to relay a story which I hope will assist you to see where you may have gone wrong especially if you currently network marketing online without any success. Perhaps then you will find a way to fix up the holes causing the problems. If you're just about to start a network marketing online business, then apply what I'm going to share with you and you will save yourself a lot of heartache, time and money.When I was 16, my grandfather announced he was going to open a "Fine Furnishings" store. The next weeks and months were spent defining exactly what his store would look like, the market to be targeted, the right name for the store, what style the store would represent and how this would be communicated. In short, the store brand was defined so that it would be unique and consequently stand out from all other similar stores.While the location of the store was carefully researched and chosen, work started on resourcing the shop fittings and a company to take care of the physical builds. Meanwhile my grandfather worked on marketing plans, deciding how he was going to promote his store. Of course back then this was mostly direct response advertising but he still had to research different advertising mediums available and their cost. He also had to learn the skill of copy-writing because there was no budget for an agency to handle this.In addition he set about putting systems into place for the smooth running of the store which included customer service, inventory and accounting processes. At the same time he went on buying trips from time to time so that he could find the products he wanted to sell in his store. Some of these were small and others bigger and a lot more expensive. Those selected were ordered and stored in preparation for the opening.Eventually the day arrived when he could open the store doors and showcase the amazing variety of soft furnishings he had sourced from all over the world. He went on to become hugely successful and opened three more stores down the line.Can you see the logic that he followed to get him to the point of being ready to trade?In summary he defined his store and brand first, then he learned how to market and systematize his business. Finally the products were added to the mix. Then and only then was he ready to do business because he had a unique store to market, knew how to market and he had products to promote that were consistent with his brand.Enter the online network marketer who often does this all back to front. They find an opportunity which they love so they make this the focal point of their business. The problem is thousands of others are doing the exact same thing. They do their level best to sell their company and product and they can't understand why nobody is interested.Someone tells them that they need to have a unique online presence so they do their best to create a personal brand to fit in with what they are doing but it's not that easy. Why? They are impatient because they must make money and soon.This is not going to happen however because they still don't know how to market. The reason for this is that network marketing companies teach associates to do what they have just tried and guess what it didn't work, so now what? Unfortunately the emotional hype that got them into the opportunity wears off, they blame everyone and everything for their failure and drop out.The truth of the matter is that there is a way to emulate this offline process so that you can help yourself to success online too. This is exactly how I teach people to become successful online. Follow these steps in this order.Step 1 - Make your business about you. Start with creating your brand so that you can stand out from the masses online. It's not complicated because all you must do is define what makes you different to anybody else and represent this online by way of a blog and social media presence. This is your equivalent to having a store.Step 2 - Learn how to market and how to set up your business systems. Fortunately there are very effective tools that can help you do this. These same tools will show you how to take on affiliate products and apply your marketing skills to promote these by way of a marketing funnel. Hey, you may even make some money! While you're learning the skills of marketing you'll pass this on to others who have come on board after you and who will be hungry for information. This helps you to build relationships with people who will want to be associated with you.Step 3 - Now you are ready to start looking around for a network marketing company which is the big ticket in your marketing portfolio. Because you have set yourself up for success, now it's just a matter of applying what you have learned on a consistent basis and you will be as successful as you want to be, Makes sense doesn't it?

How to Get the Best Start in Any MLM

Of course, you can only have a good start in an MLM company if you fully utilize every single tool available, but I want to emphasize on the most important tools to use. The very first thing you need is something no one can give you. You need motivation. You need inspiration. Where would you look for motivation or inspiration? Its easy. Why did you join a business opportunity in the first place? Your motivation and inspiration is your WHY. You probably know of this why but you really need to USE it.Now to move on to the tools. You have a successful upline. Everyone has a successful upline. Listen to that successful upline. He/she is the very first person you want to learn from because they will teach you how they became successful. Most uplines will teach you traditional forms of marketing, which CAN work, but will not 100% of the time. However, you DO want to give these forms of marketing a try because they can give you the solid foundation and confidence you need. Also, if you have friends and/or family that are also interested in business opportunities and you have the chance to work with them, it gives you a team to start with. Sitting through home meetings, going to hotel meetings, and studying how to market offline will give you a good amount of knowledge about marketing your MLM business.Internet marketing. It is a beautiful thing. I want to show you the numbers. There are about 340 million people using the internet in North America and 7 billion people using the internet worldwide. Do you think you know 340 million people in your warm market? You probably don't and the only way to reach that amount of people is through 100s of levels of your network. The specific term we use for internet marketing is LEVERAGE because we want to use it to network with people we cannot reach in our offline market. I personally use the #1 internet marketing business building system, which can be found here. There are many things you need to do to really start your internet marketing system and I suggest you start RIGHT when you start working with your first MLM company. The training is all in the system, but I can give you a shortened version of the training.Duplication is the most wanted thing by all MLMers. They know they can do hard work and build their organization, but they cant build their whole organization by themselves forever! They need to duplicate themselves and teach their team members exactly what to do to increase the organization by 2, and 2, and 2, and 2 again! And you probably wouldn't have guessed it, but many people ask me, "Wilson, how do you duplicate your team so easily?" I easily respond, "Create a system."One more thing you need to learn is how to structure your business. There are different types of MLM structures and you will not like how your organization looks or is building because you did not know how to build in the beginning. The most popular MLM structure today is the binary system. The MLM business I am in also uses the binary system and I am successful partly because I learned how to build very early.
