So as soon as possible after you have constructed your website, or set up your first blogsite or perhaps compiled a Squidoo page, you need to be able to provide a totally free gift to entice people to optin to your list. A lot of marketers will compile an e-book of some description and provide this gift free.Sometimes this will be in the form of a compilation of distinctively written articles that present information, or help, and instruct the subscriber on a difficult setting up problem the person may be grappling with. The better and more informative your content is, the more chances you could have of retaining your opt-in list interests in exactly what it is you are offering.A further benefit could come if they pass on your free gift to others as well, or recommend their friends and their own visitors to click your opt-in page so that they can obtain this great freebie themselves.Tips on how to gain from your free giftAs I'm sure you are aware by now, It is vitally important to produce a free gift that is of real true value to your clients.

You can also recommending more than one product in your free eBook, that won't do you any harm either.Please remember not to suffocate your eBook with more sales jargon than there is valuable content within. You may be alienating your potential subscribers, and ruining the vast effort you have put into creating your list up to this point.Just a few cleverly placed affiliate links, may be very beneficial and can offset any expenses you have put in to generate the free eBook to date. Good luck guys!

Why Network Marketing Can Still Work

One of the absolute easiest ways to make money from home is through network marketing. Network Marketing is a great way to start getting a residual income, however you must get unbelievable amounts of exposure to achieve this or you will become just another mark in MLM's brutal book.The loads of network marketers who are vastly underestimating the value of a website are in turn shooting themselves in the foot. If you get nothing else understand this, the internet is the most powerful tool in business history if you are not leveraging the internet you are drastically reducing your chances of success. From my laptop which I am writing this article I have access to millions of people everywhere all over the world right from my living room. There are fortunes made every day simply because people are leveraging the power of a website on the internet.Now for those of you who are not computer literate or you may even have a fear of computers: Get Over It! The computer is not going to explode if you hit the wrong key or hit you back, the computer is very forgiving and most programs even come with an undo button.:-)Platforms like WordPress.com make it super easy to build a website, you don't have to know any code, HTML, tag, PHP, etc. It's all simple point and click.

Lead, Follow Or Get Out of the Way

Lead, follow or get out of the way is a statement that has been around for a long time because it has such a truthful meaning. The world is full of people who are doing one of the three. Another way of saying the same thing is, there are people who make things happen, people who watch things happen, and then people who wonder what in the world happened!If I am honest with myself, I must ask the question, "Which one of the three am I"? Owning up to two of the possible three choices would not make me feel so good. The truth of reality can sometimes hurt.This article will address those who are involved in an Internet business that may not be achieving their desired success. An interview with Daegan Smith, "King of Never Calling A Single Lead", prompted me to write this article and a link to the interview will be below. Daegan touched on the fact that Internet marketing has changed quite a bit since 2005 and this is the first realization that must be concluded.When Google first hit the scene and made searching the Internet such a breeze, anyone who was involved in Internet marketing could throw up a capture page or website and get tons of traffic because there was little competition. Percentage wise, not very many people knew then how to advertise like they do today. The cost of generating leads through pay-per-click campaigns today can be quite daunting.Leadership was not a virtue that was in high demand in the early days but today it is a very different story. Today people are not concerned about my company or my products because there are literally thousands of good companies with good products online today. The real value that people are looking for is in someone who will be honest and who will give them the truth about how to succeed online. So many people have tried different opportunities only to be burned and they have become very skeptical about ever achieving success online.One of the first sure steps to failure online is to have the mind-set of; "I am going to go online and make some money". The majority of people never make money online and it can be traced back to the original mind-set. A leader might take the approach of; "I am going to learn what it takes to be successful online so that I can teach others how to do the same". It is when we view success as being able to help others that we develop a leadership mind-set.Here are at least 10 characteristics of a leader:
A leader must be a good communicator (the quality of your communication determines the quality of your life)
A leader must be able to follow first. (Servant would be a great word)
A leader is a person of Integrity (crooks will crumble eventually)
A leader must be dedicated
A leader must show magnanimity (ability to give credit where credit is due)
A leader must be humble
A leader must be creative
A leader must be fair
A leader must be assertive
A leader must have a sense of humorBy teaming up with a mentor who is successful and has the above traits, learning marketing inside and out, realizing that an online business is a REAL business that requires advertising and daily attention, almost anyone can become a leader and succeed online.There are systems in place online that make it easier to become a leader today than ever before.

Are You Afraid Enough?

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. - Anais Nin (1903-1977) WriterWhat motivates us to change? Dissatisfaction? Maybe. Extreme fear? Maybe. Most likely, however the motivation is that we are so uncomfortable or so afraid in our current situation, that we will do anything, including change.Change is difficult for almost all of us and sometimes it takes a lot to convince us that something should change. When we are looking at a business opportunity in multilevel marketing, particularly if we are thinking this could be our new full-time job, what makes us decide to take the chance? How uncomfortable would you have to be to make a change? Maybe you have already started in a new business, things are not going well, and you know you need to change. How bad would things have to be before you decided to change?Maybe you have put off participating in the training opportunities that might be available to you through your company. How many calls do you have to mess up before you get tired of messing up calls? How much money do you want to spend before you start really making money? How bad to things really have to get before you are willing to change? Wouldn't participating in the training be a lot less painful than making all the mistakes?Maybe you don't want to pick up the phone. How much does your business have to falter before you get up the courage to actually pick up the phone and make a call? How dissatisfied are you with the way things are going? Maybe now is the time to make your move. Picking up the phone might be less painful that the stress you are going through thinking about it.Why would you want to wait until things got so painful that you feel like you have no other choice? If you have waited that long, why not ease your pain and do what you need to do? Making the changes and doing what you need to do can't be any more painful that what you are putting yourself through right now.The business is there to make your life better. You started in the business to help you achieve some goal that you set when you first started in the business. Use your fear to make the changes you need to make and enjoy the success you are looking to achieve.Copyright (c) 2010 Soaring Eagle Companies LLC

How You Can Make Money Being Online

Americans spend countless hours per week working, playing, connecting and taking care of personal business online. Yet, many remain skeptical that they could translate skills they use for leisure activities to make money being online. It is against the American way to think it possible to receive something valuable for next to nothing. Yet, what if the home-based online businesses really aren't about getting something for nothing? What if they really can live up to their promise?Among the most misunderstood home-based online businesses are Multi-Level Marketing campaigns. Viewed by some as pyramid or "Ponzi" scheme, the common judgment is that they racket real money through non-existent or insignificant products. Yet, the reality is that MLM is a viable business model if approached ethically and with a good model for profit and collaborative sharing. Legitimate MLM businesses really do allow you to make money being online.So, how do they do it? The good ones take the "Marketing" in MLM and apply it to a business that truly needs an ample sales force to thrive. The formula is simple: the maker of a high-margin product has incentives to sell as much volume as possible. In order to sell more product, it gives salespeople a commission for selling-a commission not low enough to erode its own profits. The nature of its product is such that, the more salespeople who sell, the more profits the product maker makes. Therefore, in a legitimate MLM business, the base product margins are so high that even sales people can make money being online.The trick to achieving profitability as an MLM salesperson is to find an MLM that is a product-oriented business. Many MLMs are set up to benefit only those who are near the top. Find one that demonstrates a legitimate focus.

Multilevel Network Marketing - The Pros and Cons

There are are 2 different types of network marketing business out there with completely different compensation plans.One is a multilevel network marketing compensation plan and one is a top tier compensation plan. One is not better than the other, but there are some major differences when building each one, that should be taken into consideration.The DifferencesIn a multilevel network marketing plan you get paid small commissions for the distribution of products and when you have built a large customer base and distributor base (downline) you no longer have to carry on working it as the autoship starts to work for you in a big way.In a multilevel network marketing plan then, the idea is to build up a huge residual income that allows you to negate the need to work anymore all while you get paid residual income.Then we have the top tier network marketing businesses. These are usually very expensive and expect to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 to join. The premise of a top tier business is to allow you to make a lot of money very quickly.The Advantages And Disadvantages Of BothIn your top tier business, you have the opportunity to earn very large commissions from the very start.A multilevel business pays you residual income for years, after the initial work is done you no longer have any need to go out to recruit or sell.A top tier business requires you to recruit perpetually. That is the downside, there is no mechanism in place to allow any sort of residual income.The downside of multilevel network marketing is the time it takes for you to build up the residual income. Even with an MLM (multi level marketing) you still have to invest heavily in your business and in both cases your education. Most new distributors usually spend all their money on advertising and can no longer carry on in business.Which Is The Best One?There isn't a best type of business. Both types of business have their advantages and disadvantages. For people who are more patient, they may be willing to join an MLM business, work it part-time and wait a few years to build up a nice residual check each month.However for investors, who like to get paid quickly, the top tier business model is their choice.Again it all comes down to individual preference and lifestyle. People can still run into difficulties, with both if they don't know how to market and can run out of money in both cases.

Article Marketing Secrets Part 2 - How to Create Insane Amount of Traffic For Your MLM

In the previous article we discussed some tips to get your article read and generate MLM leads. Now we are going to focus on how to get your article found. How to create online buzz.One of the biggest advantages of article marketing is that you can create traffic from the search engines as well as from the article directories themselves.There are a few critical elements that will help you to boost the traffic for your articles and as a result for your website.Unique valuable content: Originality and popular topics are the key. With the overload of information people don't want to waste their time reading content that doesn't offer them any value, so even if they find it, it won't matter. If you become an information source, instead of a promotion machine, then people will naturally look for your content to find solutions and ideas for their business.Relevancy: Your content has to be related to your title. A lot of inexperienced online marketers, create a catchy title with the idea of grabbing people's attention but the content doesn't have anything to do with it. This has two repercussions. People get annoyed by that and search engines like Google penalize the content with bad rankings.Backlinks and votes: Article directories offer the benefit of creating one-way links to your site. This will boost your PR (page rank = How important Google thinks a site is, which gives authority to your site)Keywords: Target money making keywords. Go after keywords that you realistically can compete with.Keywords: You should try to rank for one main keyword in your article. Trying to rank for many keywords doesn't work.Include the keyword in your title. Now Google read from left to right, which means that is best to put your keyword at the beginning of the title.Do not spam putting your keyword in your article a hundred times; use the keyword naturally in the text. The use of synonyms or related keywords will help you with your overall rankings.Use an Anchor text (live clickable link) in the Author resource box. Your anchor text should be the same keyword you are trying to rank for. Caution don't point all your links at the same page all the time, and change the anchor text in your different articles.How can you get your articles all over the internet?Consistency: Some articles will do better than others so in order to get a nice flow of traffic you should write multiple high quality value driven articles.Distribution: Submit your articles to different article directories.Post your original article to your website or blog and then link your submitted article to your original blog post. This is a little known strategy that can boost your SEO, which can have an effect on your traffic. Remember, what you are trying to rank is the original post not the one you are submitting to the article directories.What About The Duplicate Content Penalty.The answer of course is to modify your article before submitting it to EzineArticles or similar directories so it's not a direct reproduction of the article on your website. This will favor your rankings as well.Buzz: Every now and then one article will do much better than all the other articles. When you get the right combination of a solid title, a brief word count and a popular topic your article can go viral and be picked up many times.Article marketing is one of the most effective strategies to drive traffic, it is free and positions yourself as an expert in your field but you must be consistent, target the right keywords and give lot's of value.

ILearningGlobal Shutdown MLM Business Model

Network Marketing organisation iLearningGlobal shutdown its MLM business model, which means lots and lots of marketers pay cheques now cease to exist. Everything seemed solid, the foundations were all set up, the products were great, endorsement from world renown writer and presenter Brian Tracy, what could go wrong? Today's article gives more of an insight into how an MLM giant like iLearningGlobal can shut the doors on its MLM operations and could this happen to your MLM company?First of all if your reading this article and you were working with iLearningGlobal I would like to say I'm sorry to find out about the organisation shutting its MLM distribution. If you was generating a decent income its understood distributors will be upset although think about this a test to your entrepreneurial strength.Before iLearningGlobal shutdown the MLM company model it presented a impressive residual income pay plan. Fortunately the company had a high representative retention rate which attracted experienced network marketers to join which then attracted others to the opportunity. iLearningGlobal.tv is an online society for individuals and professionals which provides personal development and business training to those who join. Members of iLearningGlobal have admittance to dynamic, motivational speakers and trainers all in high definition, as well as audio programs, e-books, live webcasts and more 24 hours a day 7 days a week. iLearningGlobal gives new content on a weekly basis which meant those who seek wisdom are pretty much in knowledge heaven.on 17th March 2010 iLearningGlobal advised that it was closing the doors on the network marketing side of the business. A statement advised "while giving the networking model every possible chance to survive and thrive it simply is not working as a value either for customers or for marketers. The Board of Directors has determined that the best way for the corporation to achieve its goals of delivering transformational training to the world is to move to a more traditional retail and corporate sales model...We are providing a 30-day notification of the termination of the network marketing model..."Some who I have spoken to have said the pricing of the iLearningGlobal Premium EDGE program was one of the main reasons that the MLM model was unsuccessful. Personal development is not in the financial plan of most people, so charging $180/mo was a tall order, especially in today's economy, however I am not here to judge.A positive to this unlucky iLearningGlobal shutdown situation is for others to understand that this can happen in network marketing. Will other MLM's fall down remains to be seen but one valuable thing to take away from this situation is what will you do if your MLM took away your pay cheque. Having a emergency plan in any organisation is crucial and your MLM business is no different.MLM is a people business, there are plenty of opportunities out there which means individuals have joined your downline for a reason. They are apart of your company because of you not necessarily the business. At some period you must have genuinely impressed them to connect with you and they now look to you as a leader. Key points that experienced marketers do to avoid falling all the way back to the bottom of a new MLM venture would be to:• Brand themselves - if their primary business closes, they are still leaders in the eyes of many who will all look to them to pick out the next fantastic opportunity• Create their marketing lists and build relationships with the associates on their list. People will get to know them, like them and trust them• Generate many streams of income with affiliate products, to multiply income• Factor in capture pages and automate a method so that they have attracted individuals come to them to view their business opportunity instead of chasing after them.Utilising this puts experienced marketers in a much better position, they then go on and build businesses with swift rapid speed. The fact that iLearningGlobal shutdown saw top networkers from this business depart and enroll with other companies. Inside 3 days over 80 people signed up within individual downlines. This all comes down to personal branding and leadership all of which are simple learnable skills.

How to Use List Building For an MLM Online Business

When building a MLM online business, do you often times get confused on how to grow the business online? There are so many different Internet Marketing strategies.In order to lay a strong foundation for a flourishing business, what is the most fundamental thing a network marketing distributor can do to maximize their income and produce a thriving business?MLM building can occur in several ways online. Companies give their distributors replicated websites to promote. Numerous courses are available on PPC, Video, CPA, Facebook ads, Gmail ads... The list of stuff to learn just keeps getting bigger and BIGGER...MLM marketers are bombarded with so many business building techniques by their upline and gurus in the industry. Have you ever felt frustrated by the overwhelming information thrown at you?To recruit new distributors, you could learn how to drive traffic to your company's replicated website. Sadly, this strategy has proven to not be effective when it comes to generating fresh mlm leads. Most company websites do not have compelling copywriting that is needed to move the potential prospect to action. Usually, the prospect is just given a lot of facts about the company and its products.You could purchase MLM email leads, load them into a broadcasting service, and send a marketing message to those leads. You could use voice broadcasting services to send out marketing messages to potential team members.Frankly, the possibilities are endless in this day and age of technology.The good news is, there is one business building technique that has demonstrated its strength over the years. This technique is List Building!List Building BasicsWhat is a list? By list, I mean a list of potential team members and customers who have entered their contact information on one of your lead generating websites, not your company's replicated website.You then are able to communicate with this list and potentially recruit them into your Network Marketing business.There is a common misconception among Internet Marketers that the larger the list, the better. I submit to you that its not in the size of the list, it's the quality of your list that matters most.What Determines a Quality List?A quality list is one in which the people on that list are likely to read your emails, engage in your messages, and respond to your messages.You can control the quality of your list. The sources of traffic you use to generate the list and the "bribe" you use to entice them to give you their contact information make all the difference.Five Best Sources of TrafficThere are many sources of Internet traffic you can use to build your list. Here are 5 of the best:1) Syndication: working with other Internet Marketers to have them offer your material or product as a special bonus to their subscribers. Why is this so effective? You can now target people who have an interest in your information because they have already purchased similar information in your niche.2) Endorsed Joint Venture Traffic: other people promoting you to their lists3) Pay Per Click: search traffic from Google, Yahoo, Bing, or Facebook4) Search Engine Optimization: people who find you from the natural search results in the search engines, like Google, Yahoo, and Bing5) Social Media trafficWhat is a Bribe?Your bribe is what you offer to a prospect as an incentive to give you their contact information and join your list. It needs to educate, inspire, and motivate the prospect to take action.Inspiring the prospect can be accomplished by showing concrete examples of how something can be done. Share true stories and testimonials.Motivating the prospect is simply causing the prospect to take the next step. The next step maybe giving you their contact information but ultimately, it is making the decision to join your business or buy something from you.Examples of a bribe could be a 7 day e-course, a free report, or an instructional video.Traffic Source + Bribe = a high quality listList Building ToolsTo build a high quality list, there are 6 basic tools you will need:1) A domain: a name for a website you will use to capture the prospect's information. The name can reflect the type of "bribe" you are offering.2) Hosting Account: you will need an account with a hosting company to host your website. HostGator or Blue Host are 2 inexpensive choices to consider.3) Bribe: something to offer your prospect in exchange for their information. A free report or a video might be your top considerations.4) Email Management System: you will need a service to capture your prospect's contact information and then communicate with your list. AWeber or GetResponse are the two most popular services.5) Opt-in Page: a simple webpage where a prospect can enter their name, email, and possibly their phone number.6) Thank You Page: a webpage the prospect will be directed to after entering their contact information. This page can "presell" your prospect on the benefits of working with you in your business.List building, when done correctly, can serve to help a Network Marketing distributor build a solid business. A quality list can be used to recruit new distributors, find new product customers, and sell related products and services.Learning how to build high quality lists is a worthwhile investment for anyone striving to build a Network Marketing business online.

Understanding MLM Compensation

The vast majority of folks thinking of starting an MLM home business have a reason or two as to why and the reasons are usually very clear. Pay off debt, pay off credit cards, improve their lifestyle, replace a lost income. So, understanding MLM compensation is important. In this article I am going to address the different MLM compensations plans that are typically available.MLM Compensation Bonuses:Some plans employ hybrids, this is where they combine 2 or more of these payment types into their MLM compensation plans. In addition to the staple plan, you may also find where a weekly bonus is offered, or maybe an infinity bonuses where once qualified you can get paid on infinite downline activity. Sponsor bonuses are also attractive; this is usually affiliated with a matrix plan and can be a recurring monthly bonus. Fast start is another popular bonus offered; it is designed to motivate new distributors to sponsor more people. These bonuses are a great way to boost your earnings, but you do have to qualify.Uni-Level Matrix PlansA Unilevel Matrix will allow you to have unlimited width and limited depth in your downline. Let's look at an example, let's say that you are personally recruit 10 new distributors into your organization. You would earn a commission on all sales generated by your personally sponsored 10 new team members. Remember that you could in fact sign up 100 or 1,000 or even 1,000,000 on your first level. Now follow the math, if each of your 10 new distributors each signs up 10 new distributors that's 10x10= 100. You would now have 100 people on your 2nds level. Most Uni-level MLM compensation plans pay down to your 5th levelForced Matrix MLM PlansA Forced Matrix MLM compensation plan is pretty close to a Unilevel Matrix. However it does limit the amount of new distributors you can have on your first Level. A more common version of a forced matrix plan is a "3x9 forced matrix". With a 3x9 forced matrix the most distributors you can have on your level 1 is 3. Now the most distributors each of those 3 can have on there level 1 is 3. So this would leave you 9 people on your 2nd Level. One of the attractions of a forced matrix MLM compensation plan is the spillover. Spillover happens when you sponsor more new distributors then can be placed on your first level. If you refer to the Unilevel example above and make the assumption that everyone sponsors 10 distributors, you would not only completely fill your 3x9 matrix, but you would actually have enough people left over to fill a 10th level and an 11th level.Binary PlansA binary MLM compensation plan is like a forced matrix plan, but with a slightly different twist to it. In a typical binary plan you have 2 Legs. You would normally earn a commission on the entire sales activity of your weakest leg. I have seen some binary systems that may allow you to earn commission at a later date on your strongest leg.Researching the MLM compensation plan before joining any MLM opportunity is important. But, you need to also look at the upline support, product line, marketing tools and more. This will allow you to paint a complete picture before joining.To Your Success,Gerald Stidham

9 Newbie Mistakes You MUST Avoid

Mistakes are part of any learning curve, including network marketing. If you aren't making any, you aren't making any money, either.However, not all mistakes are equal. Misspelling a word in an email doesn't quite have the same impact as exaggerating the truth. Here are nine mistakes that go into the "you MUST avoid" category.1. Not being yourself. This is like some kind of disease for many distributors. People whom you have known for years will immediately recognize it when you act and talk like someone else. If you are not yet an expert, don't pretend to be one.2. Getting too emotionally involved. When someone tells you "no," it's not personal. Whether they are someone you go to church with or someone you only know on the Internet, stay friends.3. Never calling your upline. If you don't call them, why should you expect your downline call you? It's a responsibility they took on when they sponsored you. Use them, but don't abuse them.4. Begging people to join. If your opportunity really is of value, all you should need to do is explain how it can help someone with THEIR life. If someone joins you because you begged them enough, they won't produce anything but frustration anyway.5. Telling prospects that "this is not MLM or network marketing." If you are embarrassed at being involved with network marketing, go do something else.6. Explaining the business on the phone. The purpose of the phone is only to INVITE the prospect to read, watch, or listen to something that will explain the business way better than you can.7. Misleading your friends into an opportunity meeting. You sponsor using CONFIDENCE, not deceit.8. Telling everyone what your current income is. Don't answer this question. Don't lie, but don't answer it. Whatever you say, they will spin to a negative. If it's too high, they will say "then it's too late to get in," and if it's too low, they will say, "that's not enough for me."9. (And biggest of all) Building someone else's list. The norm in this industry is to sign you up, give you a company replicated website, and have you promote it. Everyone says the money is in the list, and they are correct. Building someone else's list builds their income and not yours.Are there more? Of course there are. However, if you avoid these nine common mistakes, your success will come faster, and be more secure.
