One Room Niche Versus Multi Room Niches

There are pretty much two different schools of thought in online marketing: The Social Media School and the Search Engine School. The Search Engine School tries to sell products to people who want them. They use optimized backlinks and long tails to try to increase their search engine rank and try to market products to those who want them. Pretty much only the top spot of each long tail matters. If you type in "I want to buy gum" you only care about the first gum you see, you might check out a few other types of gum for a price comparison but pretty much that first spot is all that matters(and if sponsored links are ahead of you, you are pretty much screwed).What social media does is it creates demand, it markets to people who aren't looking for anything specific and tells them that they need something(The latest and greatest e-book or software). The Search Engine School only has one room per long tail but the social media niche has several rooms. How many different exercise programs are there? They don't market via search engines, they market via word of mouth and by offering a bigger, better deal.That's what the search engine folk don't tell you, that unless you get in early and have more targeted anchored backlinks than your competitors you are screwed. Whereas social media niches can always create more demand (I'm not talking about Make Money Online although there are always referral programs like neobux which your readers can spend time on instead of money; the MMO niche is notoriously penny pinching).I'm talking about for example my niche the grow taller niche. For years people believed height increase is impossible. Now we have several viable methods that could possibly used to increase height via non surgical means. It doesn't matter what rank you are in the search engines, if your product or information works people will want it. For example, lateral synovial joint loading is a very promising method of growing taller but nobodies searching for it yet. Soon, I will prove that it's a very effective method of growing taller and there will be much more demand for it (more searches).Tell me how SEO optimizers create demand. They can't. They can only sell other people's products and ideas.

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?

Home Based Business MLM - Can You Really Make Money With Home Based Business MLM Style?

The home business industry is one of the fastest growing on the planet right now. It's really not surprising either, given the state of most peoples' finances. Home businesses are typically a great opportunity to help with cashflow by providing a secondary income stream, or even replacing a working income. There are also tremendous tax advantages associated with a home based business MLM. However, the burning question for most people is can you REALLY make money? And it's a reasonable question. After all, you have to wonder why over 90 % of people who get involved in the industry don't make it. The answer, in fact, is an emphatic "yes you can!", but only under certain circumstances. This article explains.Home Based Business MLM - How To Actually WinIf this is the first time you've heard the statistic that the industry has a 90% failure rate, you may be surprised. What you may not realize is that those documented "failures" are really just people giving up. Now to be fair, they're giving up with relatively good reasons - they haven't been able to make it work. They haven't been successful at really generating significant income using their home based business MLM vehicle. But often it's not their fault.It takes a few simple, critical things in order to be successful with home based business MLM. While these things are SIMPLE, that doesn't necessarily mean they are easy to create or to find. But if you can find them, and you commit yourself to being coachable and doing what it takes to succeed, financial freedom is virtually guaranteed. It's just a matter of time.These are the critical Elements for A Successful (Profitable) Home Based Business MLM:Home Based Business MLM - Partnering with the right companyIf you're going to stand behind something, you'd better be 100% certain that they can stand behind their product, their resources, their infrastructure, their leadership, and their long term sustainability. You'd also better be sure you've partnered with a company that shares your values and beliefs about what's most important. Personally, if a company is ONLY about making money (you can tell if that's all they talk about) then you're in the wrong place. If, however, they have a bigger mission and vision that is parallel to your own, you have an opportunity for some great synergy. Partner with only the best home based business MLM company, partner for the right reasons, and partner for life.Home Based Business MLM - Having A Great Team Who Understands What Leadership Really Is So many people think leadership is about telling people where to go. This is especially true when you see someone who has been able to create results for themselves. These people tend to say "do this, then do that..." and then leave a person to figure it out for themselves. The home based business MLM industry is FULL of companies and people who use this model for "Leadership". But leadership truly is showing someone how they can get from where they are to where they want to be...and then TAKING THEM THERE. I remember when I finally partnered with the right team and what a difference that made for me. We operate from a "learn, do, teach" model with more support than I've ever personally seen in the industry. That's how it should be done.Home Based Business MLM - Understanding What Kills Most Businesses Often the home based business MLM model relies on having a decent number of connections or contacts that you are able to share your product, service, or business opportunity (or all of the above) with. What kills a good percentage of our 90% failure crowd is simply running out of people to talk to. They don't understand how to market themselves and their business. They don't understand how to put what they have to offer directly in front of the people who want it. This was another critical element for me personally. When I learned how to have an endless stream of people coming to ME, asking me about what I had to offer, the whole game changed. And nothing is more fun than helping people in my organization experience that same shift.The home based business MLM vehicle is by far the most fair, most accessible, and most powerful tool for financial freedom and wealth building available today. And provided you adhere to and conquer the simple elements above, you will win.

Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing - Legit Or Not? - FHTM Review

Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing, also known as FHTM, was started back in 2001 by Paul Orberson and is currently a very well known network marketing company. In this article I would like give a review about the company's products, compensation plan and then give my personal opinion on the company.ProductsFortune Hi-Tech Marketing specializes in a variety of different products. Products such as: wireless phones, phone plans, long distance services, satellite TV, weight management and health products, and beauty products. As a network marketing company Fortune Hi-Tech uses distributors to go out and sell their products instead of selling them in stores. Distributors receive a commission from all of their personal sales and a commission from the sales of those people they've recruited into the company.Compensation PlanTo get started with the company a person must first pay a start up fee of $299. As soon as you join the company your main goal should be to immediately start recruiting friends and family into the company. The amount of commission that you make from your personal sales and the sales of those people under you is determined by the amount of volume you and your team sales, but it will range anywhere from 2% to 20%.Once your team members reach a certain level of excellence they will then break away from your team. Not all MLM companies operate in this manner and it would be my personal preference to not have this happen because you would lose a lot of money having one of your star members break away from your team.ConclusionI find Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing to be a legitimate company. I have chosen not to get involved with them because I don't believe that I have the skills and mindset to create success within the social networking industry. Having researched many other MLM companies I would have to say that FHTM's compensation is pretty mediocre.

How Important is Training For a Successful Home Business?

- Is Good Training Really So Important? -Good training isn't really that hard to come by; you can type "home business opportunity" into any search engine and come up with several thousand results. There are thousands of "business coaches" to attach yourself to. Nowadays, they all are pitching some sort of training strategies they use that may or may not have made them some cash. Who knows, really? If you are a new business owner just starting out, it can be really difficult to know who is just trying to take your money and who is a true success story.Most home business systems offer several methods of training: recommended reading, conference calls, training meetings, etc. The best training methods are the ones that demonstrate exactly what to do, like videos and webex training sessions. Also, it's important to have access to training tools that work with your schedule. Recorded training calls and podcasts can give a new freedom to your training schedule.Does the training you receive make you think? Does it motivate you into action? Is it confusing? Or does it just create more questions? My suggestion to you is this: that YOU the most important variable of "good training". The power of good training is in YOU applying whatever tools, methods, and activities that are going to take your home business to the next level.- Good Training vs. Bad Training -Bad training is in the lack of a good support system. I have encountered good training in bad systems and bad training in great systems. When you have a horrible support system, the issues seem to pile up. You start doubting yourself, the money you invested, and the system you purchased. Eventually, bitter feelings toward your sponsor start to surface, even if you signed on with a friend. You may even end up quitting. I expect a good sponsor to be able to teach me how to overcome obstacles in my business and motivate me to move through them, not give me canned responses. The days of the 3 foot rule and pitching your friends and family are over. Today's home business opportunities should provide training that harnesses the power of the Internet and all the networking tools it has to offer.- I'm Trained, Now What? -In closing, you are the one who is responsible taking the training you receive and using it to build a successful home business. You can receive all of the best training in the industry, but if you never take any action, your lack of results lies on your shoulders and you have no one to blame but yourself. The most important thing you can do with your training is to take some responsibility! If you aren't currently experiencing success in your home business, own up to your lack of action! Hunker down and start over with the basics. Build some momentum. You can have the best sponsor backed by the best system and still fail miserably. Good training can only take you so far, but consistent application of good training can take you to the TOP of your company!
