The Economic Recession is Not the End of the Road For America!

We cannot fool ourselves much longer. There is a recession happening in America. It is happening right now. I don't know about your town but when I look around mine, I see businesses closing down. Yesterday they had signs of life and they were thriving. Today they are no more. Large corporations like Circuit City and GM are bankrupt. How can that be? In September of 2009 Time Magazine begged the question "Is the World Spiraling Towards Bankruptcy?"With every business that closes, more people become unemployed. More people are standing in the unemployment line every day. Despite the decline in our capacity to earn an income, prices are climbing. The bare necessities cost more than they ever have before. The economic recession has hit this nation hard. It may be too late for the Government Bailout to save us now. In fact our options for financial recovery and survival, along with our hope, are diminishing every day; every minute.This is what I know. If we focus on these chilling facts on a daily basis, we will plunge deeper into the problem. Hopelessness will be our daily companion. As long as we walk with hopelessness, the lights go out and the thought of recovery from the recession will never cross our minds again.Today, right now, I say let's walk with hope. Let's look beyond the recession. What is happening to Corporate America is much too big for you and I to grasp. We don't have the means to fix it. We have to look beyond it. I have a picture hanging in my home that says, "It Is In the Winds of Change That We Find Our True Direction."If that is true, then we have to believe that the recession is not a national disaster; rather it is a time for us to reinvent ourselves, not only as a nation, but as individuals. As individuals we have unique skills and creativity. As individuals we have options. We can assert ourselves into the market place of America and breathe life into loss and destruction. We cannot save corporate America but we can employ our talent and skills and employ new marketing strategies to become the people that we were born to be.We must believe that the current economic recession did not come to destroy us. It is here to define our greatness and establish us as pioneers of hope. As certainly as the pioneers and pilgrims who discovered and established this land have been hailed as a people of uncommon faith and courage, we will go down in history as a people of courage and faith who re-birthed America and secured her destiny of greatness.How can we possibly come out of the ruins of corporate failure to a place of national greatness? We have to deliberately look away from the old way of doing business and embrace the new. We must find a way to get in tune with our passion-that thing inside of us that we always knew we were meant to do-and use it as the leverage to catapult us forward. We must stop trading hours for dollars and leverage the opportunity to network with others of like mind and passion to create wealth. In so doing we will thrive and flourish on a scale that few of us have imagined possible. We must tap into the abundance that will be released when we recognize the power of the technology that we have in our hands with Network Marketing. After all, this nation found its greatness through the phenomenon of free enterprise. This is the day that we have the opportunity to use the same tool to redefine our greatness on a larger scale and in a bigger way.No America! The game is not over. It has just begun! The only question left to answer is, will you and I choose to participate. As for me I would not miss it for the world. What about you?

Raising the Bar - No More MLM Rejections

If you have an MLM business or have ever been in an MLM business you will truly relate to what I am about to tell you.When I was in my MLM Company I was so enthusiastic and keen I did exactly what my upline told me to do. After all he was the expert and he was earning $15,000 a month plus! I followed his instructions to a Tee. I made a list of everyone I could think of. This list included family, friends, old work associates, people in my online chat group, my Facebook friends. You name it... If you knew me you were about to hear about my new MLM business. I walked the streets of the small country town where I live, handing out business cards & flyers telling all in sundry about my fantastic new weight loss product.My upline kept ringing and motivating me saying "keep going Sandy you're doing a great job. I was doing a great job in my opinion but it wasn't as easy as he made it out to be. I knew there was something not right when my friends and people I had known for years started to run when they saw me. So, I decided to take my MLM business online, still sticking to the same marketing methods I was using in the outside world. I contacted people on social networks I had never met before and told them all about my great product. (I bet you've done this too, right)This was where I met a wonderful lady (I'll call her Sue). I was in the middle of my pitch when Sue asked me if I had read the book Magnetic Sponsoring. I had no idea what she was talking about, however I was curious and really needed to find a new marketing strategy. It was very obvious the one I was using just simply didn't work. This one book opened up a whole new way of marketing on the internet.Since reading this book I am now involved in a company that provides a world class internet marketing education. Qualified people now contact me on a daily basis wanting to join my business. These are people that are desperate to escape the world of MLM rejection and downline attrition. I'm not going to lie to you, internet marketing is hard but I am easy in the fact that I work for myself, my office is my laptop and it sure is a whole lot more fun and certainly doesn't feel like a JOB.If you can relate to my story I really do feel for you! But it doesn't have to be that way for you if you are willing to take action and aspire to achieve more in your working life. Changing tactics and recognising an opportunity to move forward is an admirable quality of a true entrepreneur. You must increase your value to the marketplace in order to be truly successful.

4 Things Web Analytics Can Teach You

You can follow your costumers clicks through your website. Which pages they check and how long they stay there. You can track which words bring you in the most traffic and costumers.

AliveMax Review - Is This a Legitimate Opportunity?

AliveMax is a fairly new opportunity based in the multilevel marketing health and wellness industry. Their mission statement states "AliveMax is passionate about making a positive impact on both your health and financial well being. Our goal is to empower you with dynamic and cutting edge products and the ability to EARN a Substantial Income from home by simply sharing these life changing products with others." So is this product and opportunity as legitimate as it seems?AliveMax is a legitimate business opportunity of course and is based in the network and MLM industry. The products are simple and based on supplements that are in spray form instead of a pill or capsule. The theory behind this is based upon the absorption process being the most reliable system in which our bodies absorb the intake of nutrients. There are four formulas at present that are offered and each with a different formula for a specific purpose. The first is anti-aging, the multi-vitamin, one for vitality and mood and of course the latest which is for controlling appetite to help with weight control.The opportunity and products are built on network and multilevel marketing and working with your warm market to begin with. The compensation plan of course is similar to other multilevel based opportunities. The plan is based upon 7 bonus levels, the first of course will be in the retail sales of the product. The member will need to purchase inventory at a discounted rate and then create commission of the difference in retail price. The other levels will of course be built upon BV, business volume of the members down line as a whole. With this system there will be a minimum that will need to be retained in order to receive the bonus commissions including the car bonus.Based upon the price of the product and the BV that will need to be retained, if you do the math in the compensation plan, it will take literally 1000's of orders and 100's of members in your down line to create the substantial income stated on the website. With such a high saturation in the health and wellness industry you will need to learn how to market effectively and brand yourself quickly. The opportunity with AliveMax is a legitimate opportunity and has a quality product but nonetheless, the attrition rate of this industry is high due to the lack of training and basic knowledge of online and offline marketing. It is always necessary to do your due diligence before investing into any opportunity.

Marketing on the Internet - What Exactly is it About?

You hear stories about making hundreds or thousands of dollars every month on marketing on the web. How much have you actually made so far? Made anything... a hundred, less?Don't feel bad, they say over 90% of Internet Marketers make LESS THAN $10.00 PER WEEK! That's saying something, isn't it? No, this is not where I say how much I make either. Nor will I try to get you to buy anything from me.Right now I'm in this place in my Internet career that I would like to quit. That is how I really feel. Okay, so what's with writing another article?I do believe that money can be made in here. This "Internet" is no different than any other business or store that has ever been started. Your return will be in relation to the effort and investment you input. To begin with, I am currently only bringing to it a heck of a lot of work and time. (The good part is it's from my own home.) Second, I enjoy what I am doing. Thirdly, and most importantly, I am retired so I have the time.Those of you who are not retired or financially independent, that presents lots of difficulties. And I do mean a lot! Should you still have a career, there are not many openings in your schedule already. So it stands if you apply yourself in here with no quick gratification, your tolerance level won't last for long and quitting will become much more of an answer much sooner. Easy to understand.However, you will miss out on an eventual goldmine in doing so. There is a major difference between the Internet and a regular business and it is that your overhead is extremely low.Almost everyone who tries this already has a computer on line. Computer access is a very common thing these days. You can sell and promote other peoples stuff and make money! Starting this thing up and running it can be done ALL DAY LONG - NO TIME RESTRICTIONS! If you are serious about making it in here there are a lot of reasons to do so!You have to ask yourself if you really want to do something from home. (Heck, you can do it from anywhere!) You have to know that YOU can spend time on it every day. This will require YOU to be TOTALLY committed! If you can answer these things to yourself in the affirmative, you can jump in with both feet and HAVE AT IT!I told you that I have reached a point where I am ready to quit. That much is true. As I have grown older, I have began 4 other businesses, and they were all successful. Initially in all four cases, I more than once in each given thoughts of quitting. But I didn't. Looking back in reminiscence I can honestly say, that all four of those start-ups, had lots of stress, heartbreak and lots of expenses.Given the opportunity would I do them again? MOST CERTAINLY! I would not give it a second thought. You ask why? Once they were functional, I made good money, had the respect of my peers whom had made fun of me while starting them, and made my family proud of me. That is not to mention the pride in myself of my accomplishing my goals.Those are the things that will get you through this initial start up phase you are now in. Realizing that if you just stick with it, that you are giving it your all, and realizing that when you succeed that you have accomplished something that none of those who are giving you grief now can or most likely ever will. That surely is worth it, isn't it? Come on, YES IT IS!I will even give you a free e-Book if you go to my site or Blog and find the sign up sheet! The best of luck and good wishes to you!
