Will Your Advice Benefit and Profit Me Or You?

I remember hearing of a story about South African poet and painter Breyten Breytenback. The story goes like this... a Black man named Freedom, who was the property of a one-legged slave owner before the end and nullification of slavery, was always given the left shoe of his slave owner when he would purchase a new pair. His slave owner could not use the left show because of his disability and felt he was being generous to Freedom. Eventually and unfortunately, because Freedom wore two left shoes it lead to Freedom's right foot becoming disfigured and deformed. This left Freedom permanently crippled by the benevolence of his master.Don't be conned by people who attempt to further their own interests under the pretense of helping you. Sure, listen to the direction from others, thank them for their interest, however it will be more advantageous for you to make your own decisions regarding what best suits your needs. Adhere to their advice if it fits with your plan for your life goals. Listen to your gut feeling, it usually knows best, discard the advice and help if it doesn't connect with you. You know there is only one who knows what is best for you. That person is none other than you.Now let me ask this, when you are seeking guidance for your online business, who do you think you should trust to provide that information, training and education? Lets look, there are many offering to help you but who does it really benefit?For our purpose today the definition of profit is to increase in knowledge from the advice of others. This definition of profit as an increase in knowledge from the advice of others, we can sum up like this:...as network marketers we all seek to increase our own knowledge-in the best way that we know to make it profitable for us and from the best possible source and resources. Each network marketer is doing what he wants, with his own limited resources. In terms of the resources, he has to either pay for the extra help and advice, or receive the information sought after for free.For one, this may mean being able to afford to pay for the knowledge and advice and for another he may have to seek free advice to further his knowledge of network marketing skills. What does it mean to the person who has the knowledge and skills to share? For one man he will have is hand out willingly accepting the money you slip his way. This person feels good to be able to offer you a service for a price. For some, though, it may be to satisfy his humanitarian desires by doing good works for others asking for nothing in return except a thank you. In any case, someone will profit.In my experience I find that the individual who receives something for free appreciates it far more than those who pay. Consequently, the person who freely gives of himself and what he knows, could be seen as a go-giver or martyr (one who is giving and sacrificing for others without an agenda or thought for himself), and does so because it makes him feel good.When you are looking for resources, advice or help for your MLM business...do your due diligence and ask yourself, how does this benefit or profit me and how will my response to the advice offered benefit or profit him? You CAN find many who are go-givers and will provide all the answers and advice you are searching for just because it gives them joy to be able to help YOU! It makes them feel good as a benevolist and for no other reason than just that, helping others. Paying for a service rendered does not make it superior to the same service offered for free.Examine the actions of the go-giver and then the person who has his hand out profiting (filing his pocket book) on every recommendation that is made to you. Dig deep and uncover the motives for each of their acts, discover why each wants to do as he does. Who will you respect in the future? It is very clear that others are seeking their own profits at the same time as you. I heard this old saying I would like to leave you with, one man's gain must be another man's loss. I don't think so. Why?What pleases and makes one person happy is not always going to please and make the next person happy. Two individuals, with different values or goals, can arrange a win, win exchange between them that will satisfy both. Everyone is happy. Neither will have to have their right foot crippled.To your successDarlene Mills

Are You Unemployed? 79,000,000 Americans Will Do This Within the Next 3 Years

News update according to Forbes Magazine that is the number of Americans that will start their own business. The great majority will do it through a Network Marketing/Direct Sales model. Before you take that leap of faith and start up a business I highly recommend you read the book "Why We Want You To Be Rich" by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. In particular be sure and pay close attention to chapter 25. It talks about a certain business model that if they had to do it all over again this is the business model they would pursue.Pay close attention and notice not once do they mention MLM anywhere in their book. There is a major, major difference between "True Network Marketing" and MLM and people are being mislead. Times are changing, people are either being cut back on time, on wages, or flat out laid off. A lot of these people are finding if very difficult to finding a job. The economy is for sure one of the reasons, but a hidden reason is a lot of these folks are at the age of being almost unemployable.Yeah I know the law, no age discrimination but let's get real folks it happens every single day. You just can't prove it. It's one of those gray areas, where the company doing the hiring can always justify why they hired someone else. I know this resonates with many folks. You are feeling desperate. You can't find a job, your mortgage or rent is due or already late. You can barely survive on unemployment if you are lucky enough to even get that.You get online start searching and find yourself lost in a sea of offers, deals, programs, training, help etc. You start buying all those fancy ebooks that promises to help you and make you rich. Or you fall for some MLM program selling you a bunch of hype on why and how you are going to be successful. Stop the madness. Get the facts BEFORE you decide on anything. So what is the solution?

The 3 Stages of Learning

I definitely experienced these 3 stages of learning in my MLM career:
You don't know what you don't know
You know what you don't know
You knowWhen we were first born, we didn't know that we didn't know how to walk. Eventually we noticed that bigger kids and adults could walk and it seemed to be beneficial, so we wanted to learn. We stumbled a few times of course, but eventually we walked. Then we talked, and learned to ride a bike, and learned to drive a car...It all goes through the same stages.I believe the first stage is also known as "blissful ignorance." In my MLM career, this was the stage where:
I thought all compensation plans were probably similar, but had never compared mine to any other so I believed the people who said it was the best.
I thought that the "terms and conditions" were the only rules; I had no idea there was a separate document called "policies and procedures" nor did I know how important it was to read that document.
I thought that doing everything my upline told me to do would get me to financial freedom; I had no idea that different personality types should use different methods.
I thought I was being taught everything that might work. I thought my company would provide the total system I would need for success.I had a lot to learn, but I didn't know it...yet.As time went on, I realized I was spending more than I was making. I realized that what my upline told me to do didn't work for me. I knew what I didn't know - I was missing something! This is a really painful and frustrating stage. Some days I wanted to give up, so I read some really good self development books that helped me continue to believe that I deserved to make my dreams come true. Something told me to keep looking.I tried several different training systems. Finally, I found the one that taught me how to think, not what to think and everything changed. I found the place where I could learn what I knew I didn't know.Do I know it all now? Of course not! I can walk the walk and talk the talk but I am not jetting around in the sports car just yet. I do know what I want, and I really want it, so guess what? It's a done deal.You never questioned that you would learn to walk because you were determined. Remember that learning how to do anything new goes through these stages, and it takes time. You will stumble and fall sometimes. It happens.Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep smiling and learning.

American Communications Network Review

American Communications Network also known as ACN is a direct response network marketing company that has been in existence since 1993. They have a myriad of products ranging from internet, local and long distance services, satellite TV, along with other telecommunication services.The objective of American Communications Network is to market products and services using a peer to peer approach. In order for an individual to market these products and/or services, they must become an independent distributor first. The cost can range anywhere from $99 on up to $499, depending on your level of commitment.Once a distributor, you can sign up for the services yourself and earn monthly commissions on the services that you currently use or you can sign up for the various vendors and utilize their services and get paid as well.Like all other network marketing companies, there will always be some type of product and/or service involved for it to be a legitimate opportunity. But the issue that I see is that most individuals that start these types of home-based businesses don't have a real clue as to how they are built. The hope of having big money and free time is wonderful, but so many are not able to accomplish due to the lack of proper training.American Communications Network has great leadership and a wonderful marketing team lead by long term experienced professionals and has had a track record of creating several multimillionaires in the process. Some top income earners have gotten their start with the company and has moved on due to their desire to earn a more substantial income elsewhere.That too is one of the biggest issues with joining a company and not really have the necessary following (group of distributors) to transition into a new company if you choose to. ACN or any other company should never be a business owner's primary focus if they don't want to be disappointed.Too many distributors get the "glorified sales rep" mentality and don't think about how they should be working on building a "personal" brand of themselves. There is a reason why most top income earners in American Communications Network are able to transition over to another company and it's because they have done a wonderful job of developing themselves.You see they aren't known because of the company, they are known because of how they have set themselves up through personal branding. They took the time to sell themselves, their abilities to get you what you needed or wanted, and that over time they were able to master certain skill-sets that will pay them for life.One rule of thumb that should always be kept close to your heart if you plan on being a leader in any company is that people are not prone to follow companies, products, and/or services, but they are more likely to follow YOU.If there has ever been any wonder why most of the top income earners in American Communications Network have gotten to the top, it's this secret that they know. For whatever reason, most people are comfortable being a follower because it doesn't take a whole lot out of them. It's the same mentality that most who work a nine to five job has. They can't see themselves being or doing the things necessary to run their own business day to day.American Communications Network is just a "vehicle" of opportunity just like all the others, but it takes someone to get into the drivers' seat to actually move it forward. If you get the proper, most current up to date marketing training, there is a great chance that you can make it work. You can't rely on the old methods that most of these companies are utilizing to teach their distributors today.To find out more information, click on the link in the area below.

Dubli Review - Can an Auction MLM Be Successful?

New network marketing companies seem to be springing up all the time these days, but there are really very few that are in the form of an online auction site. One of the most popular ones is known as Dubli. This dubli review will cut through all the suppose half-truths out there are really focus on brining the facts out.So, What Exactly Is Dubli?Interestingly enough Dubli itself is a German registered company and formed by a gentleman Michael Hansen What is really intersting is that when you dig into their main webpage, you see that, while they on the surface appear to be similar to a site like ebay, in fact they offer a much more limited menu of tems to bid on. 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.

Amway/Quixtar is proof that the network marketing business model works, and works very well.I have never been affiliated with Amway but know people who are.

Online Network Marketing - It's Saturated, Time to Move On

Online network marketing has become saturated. If you let yourself believe that, your success will be determined on many of the beliefs you hold within.You may have entered this specific niche and have seen the amount of people using social media, search engines, video networks to generate leads.I can tell you this, actually I can guarantee you that 99% of them are not making any money at all. The reason being is because they all look,sound the same in terms of marketing.There are very few marketers within the niche of online network marketing that truly understand creativity, uniqueness and how to create "YOU INC".If you are not familiar with "YOU INC", let me give you a little secret and update about this extraordinary pre-fix. The ability to sell yourself and brand YOU throughout the internet is a easy million dollar business within 3-4 years if not sooner.You will have more leads and distributors joining your business than you could ever imagine, and your income will sky rocket so high that you will not know what to do with your own money.When walking into the banks, you will no longer have to sit there and wait for the next teller because they will know who you are instantly.How is that for a change in your network marketing career? Well its possible and using online network marketing techniques and strategies you can truly accomplish this very quickly.Now there are some fundamentals that I want to discuss with you, that you must understand and implement immediately if you want results.I personally don't want you to be like the other 99% who are not following the fundamentals, trying to become the guru but yet their own bank accounts have nothing to show for it. Many are working a new "online job", and yet not really building a long-term sustainable network marketing organization.Let me remind you, the purpose you are here is to learn and expand your knowledge base of lead generation so you can grow your organization.These are my favorite strategies that I suggest for online network marketing leads:1. Article Marketing: No longer can you just write 1 piece of content and hope for the best. If you are approaching this method of traffic this way you will lose your shorts very quickly.By the way, article marketing is like printing a front page article in your local newspaper where the masses can see it, but not worrying about paying $80,000 for it.In order to achieve some great rankings and traffic results, writing for 90-days consistent and then submitting your content all over the internet will provide you huge amounts of leads.2. Video Marketing: This is the same type of concept as Article marketing, but the only difference is you are not writing, but creating small 2-4 minute videos talking about you, network marketing, success and life in general.Now once again creating 1 video and hoping for the best will never pay out, its critical that you take your 1 little video and submit to all of the 100 video networks available.So this way your video now has become 100 instead of 1.In conclusion, online network marketing is not over saturated nor will it be, because always remember 99% of those marketing are doing it incorrectly.

I Earn Today Review

I Earn Today is a brand new internet marketing opportunity comparable to My Money Fish. The concept is to build a down line through referrals by utilizing the number of promotional and marketing tool I Earn Today makes accessible. The back office provides instructions for how to use HTML and banner ads, traffic links, solo ads and text.The cost to get involved with I Earn Today ranges from $2.50 for the Gold Package and up to $37.50 one time fee for the Grand Marketer level. Compensation is based on a 3x10 forced matrix that pays down 10 levels, growing exponentially as you will collect on thousands of individuals after about 7 levels. The products are marketing products that assist people in promoting their I Earn Today business or any other business they might be affiliated with.For most people that join income will be minimal to nothing at all. However, as with every multi-level opportunity there will be some that make a huge income. The downside risk is very small but there is very little upside for those who do not already have a list with who to market to or experience in driving traffic online. The information in the back office is insufficient for the total beginner and those that are experienced online won't benefit from it. Those that know how to market online can certainly make a massive income in a short period of time.People are naturally drawn to income opportunities that appear to require little to no work. Unfortunately, there is nothing available today despite what marketing material will tell you that will reap large rewards without significant effort. I hate to rain on the parade but unless to have already made big money online already, I Earn Today will not be a suitable retirement plan. For the casual MLMer this could be fun and make you some extra spending money.

Nikken - Say it Backwards and It's Much More Fun!

Nikken has longevity not usually seen in an MLM. The founder of Nikken, Isamu Masuda is basically an inventor at his core; he also has a belief system which has made him care about improving the quality of life for the rest of us which he calls "The 5 Pillars of Health". The company has been in business since 1975 and opened its doors of their American office in 1989; If you're having a bad math day, that's more than 3 decades! I won't say it's unheard of but it does give them a good track record in the MLM industry to say the least.Nikken has combined technology and environmental concerns of the household with unique and holistic methods for solving some very fundamental problems. As an example, I'll tell you about Mr. Masuda's first invention, the Magsteps. The Magsteps are insoles that draw on the healing energy of, as the name suggests, magnets to reroute the energy flow in our bodies in order to provide healing effects. Now that's one to get you moving!It is apparent once you look at Nikken's full line of products that what drives their creation is some sort of core health issue. You can find a wide range of technologies that help with sleeping, air quality and healing energy flows. In keeping with the philosophy of "The 5 Pillars of Health" (Healthy Body, Mind, Family, Society and Finances) Nikken has also developed products for healthy nutrition, healthy skin care and pet care. I've seen a few MLM's with product lines this big, but only a few. This is going to sound absurd, but that may be a problem for some; with this many products to choose from, how would you develop a campaign? My advice would be to find one type of product that you have confidence in and build up a knowledge base and then move on.Nikken doesn't rest on its laurels either when it comes to giving back. They have a list of 10 different organizations that they fund and have even helped in the founding process. Money isn't the only thing they give. There are a lot of volunteer efforts coming out of Nikken. I know it's starting to sound like I'm hyping them, but I'm digging for dirt folks. I'm just not finding it. Sure, I've found the usual debunker talk, but I'm also seeing solid science behind the sales speak. Let's move on to the money part.The compensation plan is clean cut. You develop three team members and from there you move up a rank. There are 9 ranks to work though. One thing that seems to be unique to Nikken is you can't drop back a rank; that rank is permanent even if your team starts to go through the attrition process familiar with all MLM business models. Could it be possible?The income streams are also straight forward. Here's the list...1. Retail Profits2. Wholesale Profits3. Residual Income (from your team members)4. Performance and Leadership Bonuses5. Incentive Programs for your car and home.They also list tax deductions and benefits but that one doesn't really fit by my way of thinking so I'm just going to leave it out.Now that I've been through the site, evaluated the products and compensation plan and searched for legitimate complaints, the only conclusion I can draw is this is a solid MLM opportunity. That being said, if you don't find a product that you know for a fact works, maybe you should move on and keep searching. Personally? It's not for me even with the promise of permanent ranking inside the compensation plan.
