How To Attract Prospects To Your Business Magnetically

Wednesday 6 June 2007 @ 3:11 pm

by: David Pineda

A magnet has the properties to attract certain metals, and a magnetic person has the qualities, talents, or skills to attract others in a magnetic like manner.

In the world of network marketing, how can someone acquire that type of personality, how can someone become a magnetic sponsor, and develop a large base of customers using magnetic like attributes?

Before I answer that question, read this quote:

“Nobody who bought a drill actually wanted a drill. They wanted a hole. Therefore, if you want to sell drills, you should advertise information about making holes – NOT information about drills!” - Perry Marshall

There is a lot of meaning behing this quote, but in a few words it contains the secret to becoming a highly successfull magnetic sponsor.

Would you rather spend $200 bucks on a drill, or first get free or inexpensive information to learn how to operate that drill properly and effectively? If you are like me, I am sure you would first learn more about how you can make a good hole with this tool before making that kind of purchase.

Would you rather buy from a salesperson who insists that his/her drill is the best tool for what you want to do? I wouldn’t. Because I don’t like to be sold, and I don’t like people to pitch their sales number on me.

Would you rather buy from a person who gave you free information or inexpensive information on how to properly operate, and get the best results from that tool, and who did not try to pitch a drill on you?

Again, if you are like me, you would buy from a person who first took the time to educate you on how to make that hole proper. In your mind, this person is an expert in his/her field, he/she knows what he/she is talking about. So you sell yourself on buying that drill from him/her.

This is what many network marketers keep doing, they keep pitching their opportunities on their family, friends, relatives, and get all hyped up on the net, on their ads, and every one they encounter. But guess what? People do not care about your business opportunity, what they care about is a solution to their problems. In other words, you did not buy a business opportunity (drill) because you wanted one. You wanted a solution (hole) for more free time to spend with your family, be your own boss, earn a living online, or get rich, etc..

So, what you need to do instead of pitching your opportunity to your prospects, is to sell them inexpensive or give away free information that shows how to solve problems - how to drill that “hole.”

If you can show them how to make that “hole”, your prospects will come to the conclusion on their own without you pounding hard on them that they need a drill from you. Why? Because you gave them free knowledge or inexpensive information on how to accomplish their goal, and therefore earning their trust in you.

This is one of the main principles that will allow you to become magnetic and attract your prospects to come to you, instead of you chasing after them.

How To Choose The Right Network Marketing Opportunity

Tuesday 5 June 2007 @ 8:54 pm

by: shawn johnson

I think it’s fair to say that most of us have at one time or another been introduced to network marketing by friends, family, or even complete strangers. And they always make it sound so easy, don’t they? We are told that all it takes is a few e-mails or a phone call or two and then it’s afternoons lounging on some tropical beach.

Of course, anyone who has joined a network marketing opportunity knows it isn’t quite that easy. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that network marketing is a scam either. There are thousands of people who are enjoying a massive residual income every month from work they only had to do once. But how do you choose which network marketing opportunity is the right one for you?

Product

The first and most important thing to look out for is to make sure the opportunity your interested in is a legitimate one and not a pyramid scheme. And the best way to do this is by looking at the company’s product. A pyramid scheme will usually have a product of little or no value that is used mainly for the recruitment of others. Ask yourself if it is something that you can use and sell outside of the program?

Would you buy and use the company’s product even if you were not involved in the income opportunity? If the product is only useful in recruiting others into the program than you should probably stay away from it. And do you truly believe in the product? No, not because your sponsor tells you how great it is, but do YOU really believe that the company’s product is worth buying?

And is there a need for the product? I once watched a show where people submitted their inventions in a contest and as all of these people gave their presentations I remember thinking “wow, these are all really cool!” But as the judges began tearing the inventions apart I realized that while some of the inventions were pretty nifty, they weren’t really very useful to anyone besides those who invented them. So make sure that the company’s product has a real demand for it.

Investment

We have been told most of our lives that you get what you pay for. While this may be true with a lot of other things, it is not necessarily so with network marketing. It is easy to believe that because an income opportunity is low cost it must not work, and if it is expensive than it must make you money. This is not true, in fact it is quite the opposite.

The more expensive an opportunity is, the harder it is going to be to get people involved. And the harder you are going to kick yourself in the backside if it ends up not working for you. There are plenty of lucrative opportunities that cost between forty and two hundred dollars. Remember, you will still need money to advertise your business.

Compensation

How much money you will actually make from each sale is a huge factor in determining your financial success. Make sure that the company is giving you a reasonable commission. If you only get a buck or two from every sale you make this is most likely not going to be very profitable for you.

Try to avoid programs that force you to go wide on your first level, or who don’t reward you for going deep. The average network marketer only recruits two to four people, so you will want an opportunity that allows your downline to go deep which will make it easier for everyone and may help people from quitting the program.

Many companies also offer incentives such as fast start bonuses which can really jumpstart your earnings. You should be rewarded for your work right? There are many opportunities that have excellent bonuses so there is really no need to join one that does not.

The Company

It is always good to know who you are dealing with. Do a little research on the company and the program your thinking about getting involved with. Are there any complaints or lawsuits against them? Do former members relate awful experiences in network marketing forums?

You also don’t want to get involved with a company too early or too late. Make sure they have been in business long enough to establish that they are trustworthy but at the same time you don’t want to get involved so late that the market has already become saturated.

Training

The success of your network marketing business depends greatly on your ability to keep your downline members active and to train them to recruit and keep their downline active as well. Duplication is the key to success with network marketing. The program should have great marketing tools, training, and excellent customer support. Some opportunities even have a members only forum which is a huge plus.

Recruiting Friends and Family

It can be really exciting when you first join a network marketing opportunity. Your full of energy, motivated about the product, and eager to get started. But you really should give yourself at least six months and some sales before you start calling the family tree.

That way if after the first two months it doesn’t work out you won’t feel stupid and have to hear “I told you so” from your loved ones. If your presenting a new opportunity to them every month it won’t take very long before you won’t be taken seriously.

Free Trials

The majority of opportunities have anywhere from a 7 to 30 day free trial where you can have full access to the program. This is the best way to see if it is going to work for you. Just make sure that you do a little research and see if the company honors these free trials without problems. Since most opportunities these days have a free trial, you need to think hard before deciding if you should join one that does not.

Network Marketing can have great rewards, or great consequences. These tips can steer you in the right direction and help you avoid some of the common mistakes that many of us make when getting involved in network marketing.

Most importantly, always go with your gut instincts and use common sense. If an opportunity doesn’t seem right to you…Don’t Do It! I have yet to come across a “once in a lifetime” opportunity so there is ALWAYS time to take a breather and do some research. Don’t worry, the program will still be there tomorrow.

Network Marketing for Easy Money

Monday 4 June 2007 @ 10:08 am

by: Craig Ritsema

Ok, I know what you’re thinking, another marketing guru selling a way to make quick money. Well, sorry, that’s not the kind of easy money I’m referring to.

Network Marketing has been around for a while. Most of us know someone who has a friend or relative who became involved in off-line network marketing. We listened to their sales pitch with our mind already set on how we were going to say no and the best way to get out of the meeting as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Through out the sales pitch we thought to ourselves, what would drive someone to put this much effort into selling these products? Why would they spend all this time promoting their product to their friends and relatives? Would we ever be able to meet them again and look them in the face wondering if they were going to start into their sales pitch?

All in all, this kind of network marketing seemed rather painful to someone from the outside. Not only was it time consuming, but you needed to be a person with the ability to sell. Most people involved this way did not start out as professional sales people, but they knew they would need to learn these skills in order to succeed.

What our friends understood about network marketing is that the first customers are the hardest. Once these customers started recruiting their own customers things started getting easier. Over time, their income would grow faster. They were sold on the product they were selling and definitely the concept of network marketing. They were persistent and determined not to quit!

I could not help but think – could they really be on to something? It seemed impossible, but what if it worked? Our friends did eventually become successful. But I believe it was only because they were determined to make it work. Giving up was not an option for them.

Times have changed and off-line network marketing has turned into on-line network marketing. The concept remains the same:

- Sell someone else’s products and make a commission on each product.

- Sell the opportunity to others so they do the same, while making a commission on their sales as well.

The second sale is what makes network marketing most rewarding and leads to “RESIDUAL INCOME”. This kind of income keeps coming without you yourself having to do the work.

Today, online network marketing has greatly simplified selling other companies’ products. Not only do they generally do the selling for you, but THE WORLD IS NOW YOUR PROSPECT!

To become a network marketer all you need is a computer, internet connection and a good product with opportunity that can be sold. POINT AND CLICK IS THE METHOD OF SALES TODAY! Good companies offering affiliate programs for network marketing also provide many ways to learn the ropes and how to sell their products. Anyone can learn how to do it!

If online marketing is so easy, why isn’t everyone doing it? It takes time and persistence. This is the hardest part. Our friends understood this and they were determined to succeed and persevere.

Is online network marketing easy? Yes. Does online network marketing take time and effort? Absolutely. Persistence and determination are the key skills needed for today’s environment. The actual work is easy.

Do you want to make money? Are you determined and willing to persevere? Then set your mind on success and grab your network marketing gold!

Network Marketing on Auto-Pilot

Thursday 31 May 2007 @ 3:17 pm

by: Al Walker

Are you frustrated with your network marketing business?

Imagine for a moment that you worked in the hi-tech world and you knew everything about the internet, you knew all about computers and internet-marketing and you walked away from that to join a Network Marketing Company? Then you think to yourself, wait a second…what if we could marry that hi-tech with the hi-touch of Network Marketing and I’d never have to do any of those things that I used to do in the hi-tech world. I don’t want to go to meetings anymore. I don’t want to wear a tie. I don’t want to hear an alarm clock. I want to sit at home in my shorts and t-shirt on my time, on my dime and do it the way I want to do it and that’s online.

Imagine that you had never gone to a single hotel meeting or given a face to face presentation. Yet you’d built a team in 13 different countries and became the number one sponsor for the last 2 years running in an organization of over 100,000 people in all of the United States.

It’s called Technology Empowered Network Marketing and last month I had the privilege of hearing the man who did this speak to a select group of captivated marketers. They had come from all over the world to hear how he’d built a million dollar business completely online, with online tools, the internet and the telephone.

The following is a unique and revealing interview with him about Internetwork-marketing. His name and company are not mentioned here because it’s not important. These techniques can be adapted by anyone, for any online product.

Me: Thanks for meeting with me today. Do you mind if I record this?

Him: Not at all

Me: You talked about sorting. You called it separating the serious from the curious. Can you elaborate on that?

Him: Spending the right amount of time with the right people and the least amount as possible with the people that aren’t serious is very important. You have to go through a ton of rubble to find an ounce of gold. So why not let your system do all of this sorting for you so you have more time to spend on more important things?

When your system does the sorting 80% of the work is already done for you. A powerful system will welcome the visitor, find out what they are looking for and take them through the basics of having a homebased business. It will also educate them about the industry, invite them to an online webcast presentation and show the visitor how to make money as fast as possible. My system actually notifies me when each of these important steps has been completed.

The right system can enroll a new business partner, train and introduce them to a system they can use themselves.

Me: So they get to see how well it works even before they join you?

Him: Exactly. People join systems. They look for systems they can see themselves doing. Systems that will bring them success and make them money.

Me: In your talk you mentioned how important it is to find the right company and the right team. How did you know you had the RIGHT TEAM?

Him: Well, before I left my job in Corporate America I was tired and very burned out. It wasn’t just the work, it was the stressful lifestyle as well. I did my due diligence and found a publicly traded company that made sense and was a good fit for me. I then called the company and asked for their best rep in my area.

After getting all the information online in a timely manner, I contacted the representative from the number on his site and asked him what the next step to get started was. He asked me if I’d like to go to a presentation with more details about the business and I said: “Sure where do we have to meet?” He answered, How about right at your desk? It takes about 45 minutes.
I was still thinking that he was going to come over to my house when he said: “No, you can watch it on a “live” web-cast right on your computer. What’s better for you 6pm or tomorrow at noon?”

He clarified that he did everything online and that I could do the same. This made a lot of sense to me and was my introduction to the best way I have found to build a Network Marketing business.

Now, the only time I actually meet my business partners is at the company’s annual convention. They come up to shake my hand only because they recognize my voice from our occasional telephone conversations.

Me: That’s incredible! You’re shaking hands on the Internet.

Him: Yep! In 5 weeks I made my money back. In 4 months I went full-time and in less than 9 months I was up to six figures. After that I streamlined my system, shared it with my team and made them all wealthy as well!

Me: Would you still have been interested if he’d done things the traditional way, like taking you to a hotel meeting?

Him: Maybe, but I don’t think so. There’s nothing wrong with traditional Network Marketing, it just isn’t for me. I have some stereotype hang-ups like most people. I don’t like to talk face to face, I’m shy and I hate getting dressed up. Believe me, there’s a lot of people like me out there.

I never have to approach my friends and family and I don’t have to dress, walk or talk any certain way. Working online removes all the nonsense. Like, gender, race, age, weight, dress. It also eliminates the driving, meetings, hard work and getting ready…is my tie on straight? (laughing)

Me: Most companies out there already have internet tools like websites, flash presentations and voicemail. Can you tell us more about your system? Why does it work so well?

Him: Well, I figured out a system that puts hundreds of fresh business-builders into my business each year and it’s simple so that anyone can learn it. It’s a 4 step process:

1. Attend an online Webcast
2. Get Started
3. Train
4. Invite others to the Webcast

Then we track from the backend to see where people are in the system.
They usually contact us. It’s that simple.

Me: People actually call you to get started?

Him: All the time but understand that not everyone wants to get involved and that’s fine. Somebody has to wash the cars and work at McDonald’s (laughing) There’s never a wrong prospect-Just the wrong time for a prospect.

Me: Anything else?

Him: Something we have built into our system is what we call a third-party presence. Our system recommends it’s owner as a lifestyle coach. This recommendation is made by a well-known success expert so the visitor can feel confident and assured that all the information will be presented honestly and in full.

When a well-known author or businessperson is presented as your partner and shares some highly-educational and motivating advice BEFORE introducing you to the new visitor. Everything gets off on the right track from the beginning.

If we take the focus off ourselves, people can listen clearly (without hype) to what’s being said and make an educated decision for themselves. Your system should definitely help this happen.

Me: Where do you think people are going wrong with their network marketing online?

Well here’s a few things to keep in mind:

1. Don’t send people to your company’s all-in-one website. It’s like going to the new Spielberg movie and knowing that there are 20 scenes going to be shown and you can pick which order to see them in. Would the movie make any sense to you? I doubt it. That’s what’s happening out there.

2. Beware of companies that just want to sell you leads. There’s nothing more frustrating than calling people who were hoping to win an X-box.

3. Don’t inundate people with 17 emails in one week and 27 different websites. Present your company in a simple way with internet media.

4. Don’t use the same approach and information for everyone. Find out what the person is looking for. Is it: Time Freedom, Wealth, Health, Fire their Boss? Once you know you can get them the information that pertains to their personal concern. Someone that wants to quit their job right away is not going to be interested in a new skincare line.

5. Use a courtesy call technique when you call someone. When the car service center gives a courtesy call to remind you that it’s time to have your oil changed, you don’t take offence do you? In fact, you’re probably glad to hear from them. They’re just doing you a favor and being helpful. That’s how your return phone calls should be made.

6. Lead with the business and not the products. The fastest way to the big money is to find more people like yourself that want to do the business. Stop chasing the ambulance and concentrate on the Brinks truck.

Me: You were the Number One Sponsor of your company out of 100,000 associates in North America. How’s does that feel?

Him: It feels great! This online system allows me to travel with my family whenever I want. Last month I took my family to Hawaii and while the kids were having a nap I just jumped on my laptop and saw that a fellow had been through our system and wanted me to call him. I stood out on the balcony overlooking the beach and when he answered I said this was just a courtesy call to get back with him. My autoresponder had shown me that he had been reviewing my information. How do you like our system, I asked him. Do you think that’s something you could do? He answered yes but the best part is when I told him where I am (laughing) and that I’m looking at a beautiful beach with my wife and kids napping at 2 o’clock on a Wednesday afternoon. There’s nothing better than living the lifestyle and showing others that it is possible. It’s very rewarding!

Me: What about attrition and people quitting?

Him: There’s always going to be people who don’t follow through but our company did a study on my internet team and our attrition was very, very low. In fact, we retained over 87% of all our new people which astounded everyone. People like this system because this system likes people.

Me: Thanks so much sharing this amazing information with us. Any last words of wisdom?

Him: Marketing is defined as “creating an interest and then filling it.” The secret to putting a Network Marketing business on autopilot is to actually use the technology curve to show your new visitor how easy things are done online.

Your next step? To take what you’ve just learned and put your new business on auto-pilot right away!

The Big Dream Life

Wednesday 30 May 2007 @ 8:05 pm

by: Marc Romero

In Network Marketing one of the single most important keys to success is simply having a dream. Unfortunately most people lose sight of this dream due to the harsh realities of life and therefore fail miserably in this industry. On the other hand those who never lose sight of this dream seem to have what takes to stay the course and learn the ropes until and one day find themselves living a life better then they could have ever imagined it.

Today I’m going to give you a picture of The Big Dream Life. Please, if you are struggling in this industry, take hold of it, mold it into your own, and one day you too will be a living, breathing testimony to the life changing power contained inside a few thoughts.

The Big Dream Life

It’s 9:36 am when your eyes suddenly pop open. You sit up in bed with a smile on your face and thank God for all the many blessings he has given you and your family. After a yawn and a good stretch, you give your sleeping beauty (Wife) a kiss on the cheek then head to the kitchen. In no hurry, completely content and relaxed because you don’t have the stress that 90% of America has called “A JOB”. On the way to the kitchen, you find your little ones peeking around the corner in attempt to give Daddy a good morning “BOO”. You decide to play along and act really surprised when they jump out even though this is the everyday routine. At this point, you see your wife walking down the hall with a smile on her face and greet her good morning with another kiss. You have breakfast with your family then head to the office (first door to the left). You check a few emails make a few calls then call it quits for the day. After this hard days work ( ha ha) you decide to take your family on a surprise trip to Sea World. They are excited when they hear the news and begin packing for the trip. On the way out you decide to check the mail and find a nice check made out to you for $18,578.63. You hand the check over to you wife; she looks at it and says “not bad for a weeks work”. You both chuckle and head to your destination.

Now that’s what I call living! Please take this dream and expand on it, don’t let the ups and downs of life come crashing down on your dream and kill it forever. You deserve to live it so LIVE IT.

Financial Freedom, is it only a dream or just steps away

Tuesday 29 May 2007 @ 5:12 pm

by: Yochention Saritoh

Almost all of us go to work everyday and do the same routine over and over again. We work so hard until we caught up in the routines for years. With the salary that we earn every day, we try to pay all of our bills. We always expect to get a higher salary, getting promotion or our business running better so we can earn more money. But we do not realize that when we get more income, we also have spent more money on our needs. After we work for two, five, or even ten years we just realize that we have been in the rat race of our financial troubles.

So, to be financially free is only a dream for us, we don’t think that is possible. We already set our mind set that we will retire after 40 years of working and then we start to enjoy our life after that. I don’t want to do that.

What if you can get the financial freedom faster than 40 years? What if I can show you how to get to financial freedom in 5 years? Wouldn’t it be interesting for you?

There are couples steps to achieve financial freedom.

First, you have to get the right mind set. Your mind set is what you are. You have heard old saying “You Are What You Think You Are”. This is true, when you think that you will always be poor then you will always be poor. When you think that you are a loser then you always will be a loser. When you think that you are short, then you always will be short. You see what I mean? Unless you want to change your mind set to the positive way, there is no way that you can get your dream, which is Financially Free. You have to believe in yourself and think that is possible for you to achieve financial freedom. From that kind of mindset, you will get different power in yourself and attitudes that will guide you until you achieve your goal.

Second, if you do have the right mind set, you have to change the bad habit that you have. If you don’t have the money, don’t spend it! Our society nowadays, has a brand new habit that does not exist centuries ago. We can spend our money before we earn it! That’s right; I am talking about credit card. If possible, cut all the credit cards that are not in used. We will be trap in this financial mouse trap easily with all the credit cards lying around on our tables. We have to be discipline by only keep one or two credit card that we use often only for emergency.

If you use your credit card, please do it in your current budget, not your future budget. A lot of people are trapped because they use their credit card based on their ‘future’ budget.
For example, Bob just got promoted this week, and his salary will be raised next month. He was so happy about it, and then he spends his future salary with his credit card. This is the mistake that we often do. In short, don’t spend it until you have it in your ‘pocket’.

Third, don’t put your money in the bank for too long. We often forget that if we put our money in the bank, the value of the money will be decrease so fast. The interest rate that the bank gives is far less than the inflations rate each year. We always have to be smart about our money. The bank doesn’t care about our money; in fact, they made the most profit from our money.

We have to find the perfect investment. I suggest you to go to your financial advisor ask for their best opinions. They will seek your needs, and they can give you the investments that are suitable to your needs.

Fourth, if we really want to be financially free, we have to earn a passive income. There are several ways to earn passive income. First we can create our own company that can runs without us. So, in short you can create a system that can works for you. It doesn’t have to be big; you can start it with a small size company, for example a groceries store. The most important from this is that you have to set up a system that works without you.

Another way to get a passive income is that you can franchise. Franchising nowadays has increasing tremendously in the past few years. This industry gives the owner to adapt a system that are already being established and proven. If you don’t want to build your own system, you can buy a franchise and run it.

Last but not least, you can always join network marketing. Network marketing is very reasonable for people that don’t have big capital. Opening your own business or franchising a business could cost you a fortune, but network marketing usually cost very little to start. You can always find a good network marketing company and stick with the company for 5 years. There you can learn how to built your network and achieve Financial Freedom.

Those are couples steps that you can follow to achieve financial freedom. Every journey is start with a small step. So, you can start your own journey to your financial freedom by start it with a small step. Don’t you waste your time, because the time is so precious that we can’t turn back the time. Hopefully this entire article help you realize that everyone need financial freedom, before you caught up into the routines for years.

Building A Profitable Network Marketing Business

Monday 21 May 2007 @ 9:59 pm

by: Cathy Qazalbash

Many people try a network marketing opportunity when they first start an online business. They start with high hopes that this will be an easy way to achieve financial independence. However the novelty soon wears off and the hard reality sets in, there is no such thing as an easy, no work way to start a business.

All businesses great and small require an initial period of disciplined work. There is no such thing as “making 1000’s in a few days with no work. Yes, as a home based business person you can “make money in your pajamas,” if you wish, but even if you do not get dressed, you still have to discipline yourself to a certain amount of work for your business, on a regular basis. Network marketing is no exception.

Always remember that network marketing is a team business. In order to make money in this field you must be prepared to work closely with your team members. Welcome them to the team, introduce yourself as their upline and offer help if they need it. Some of your team members will respond, others will not, work with the ones who do respond. These are your potentially strong members and are the lifeblood of your business. Try to build relationships with these members by offering help and discussing marketing techniques. Remember the team concept, your downline’s success is your success, you will all profit together. If something has been successful with you share, and encourage your team members to share their successes with their downline. In this way you will spread success to all members and build a strong active team, who are continually adding dedicated people to the team. Here are some points to start and build your profitable network marketing business.

Choose a good program that is not too expensive and has good products, that will be useful to you and your members. Take time to do all the research you can before you invest your money. Remember you will be investing your hard earned money and time into this project and will be encouraging others to do so. In order to promote something you must believe in it 100% with no reservations. Your marketing will then come over well and be more successful.

Before you join give careful thought how you will market. A common mistake of newcomers to network marketing is joining programs and not preparing themselves for how they will market the program. Make sure that the program can be marketed to a reasonably wide and accessible market. This will allow you to tap into good sized areas of prospects with relative ease.

Build your team on the “power of 3″ basis. Let me explain: Market to a targeted section of people until you have 3 determined team members, serious and willing to work with you. They will be the foundation of your strong and profitable team. Train these 3 and share with them all the successful methods of marketing that you have used. Encourage and help them to get 3 good active members and train them in the same way. Those 3 members will train 3 members themselves and your team will grow to be a powerful profitable business for you all.

As you grow your first team find another, if possible related program and build your team the same way. Some of your team members may like to join a second program with you, if they like your leadership but never try to pressure them into it. Just make a suggestion and let them decide. You can build a third and possibly a forth program with these techniques. This should be enough to give you and your teams a nice monthly income. After your initial work you will only have to do a few hours of work a week to maintain your teams and advertise on a regular basis.

A few marketing techniques that do well for network marketing are:

Ezine Advertising: Keep careful track of these ads and see which do well and what has flopped. Target Home Business Opportunity ezines and newsletters. When you get enough money together try offline Home Opp magizines.

Distribute info articles on network marketing, draw attention to your affiliate link in the Bio box or draw prospects to your theme website, with all your opportunities “under one roof.”

The usual website promotions like Search Engines Pay-Per-Clicks and Linking will work to bring interested prospects to your site.

Google Adwords can be used for affiliate sites if you do not want to build your own website.

You can buy leads but be very careful of the quality and age of these leads. You can waste a lot of money with this method of prospecting.

These are just a few points that can help you build a successful Network Marketing business. The golden rules to remember are, never join a program that you have not found a way to market and always work with your team members. together you will all build a profitable network marketing business and gain true financial freedom.

3 very simple steps to making money online

Sunday 20 May 2007 @ 10:24 am

by: Mike Law

Network Marketing or MLM (Multi Level Marketing) is one of the biggest earning potentials on the internet today. The internet is a multi billion dollar industry where the advantages of trading are virtually endless. Here are some of the key reasons why I highly recommend Network Marketing.

The ability to not only work from home but from almost any location in the world as long as you have access to the internet was the biggest attraction for me personally. It opens a whole new world of possibilities in regards to the way you can live your life.

You work the hours you want, and you are also your own boss. It is much easier to motivate yourself when you know your efforts are going to increase your own earning potential and not the person you are working for. Also your earning potential is endless and your business grows by itself once you have the right tools in place.

Another huge benefit of Network Marketing is the amount needed to invest is far smaller than virtually any other business so you really have very little to lose. However one of the reasons a lot of people fail at Network Marketing is because they want something for nothing. Expecting to make huge profits with no time and money invested will get you no where.

This leads me to my next point of working smarter rather than harder. How you market your business is crucial to its success. You are competing in a global market with millions of potential customers; however reaching these customers is your biggest challenge. There are so many marketing tools on the market today of which a large majority of them will generate very little if any residual profits for your company. The most effective tools for you to use are the ones which will target motivated individuals who are already interested in the products and or services which you offer.

You could for example invest substantial amounts of money on tools which promise millions of hits to your site and gain absolutely no business whatsoever. On the other hand you could invest smarter and utilise the tools which target those potential associates as mentioned above for a much smaller investment. And this is where the beauty of the plug in profit system is so evident. All the most effective tools and methods are supplied for you to save you years of trial and error.

So by now you are probably thinking that this Network Marketing venture of yours is going to require a lot more time than you thought? The answer is no. Right now is the perfect time to get involved for one main reason, Turnkey solutions. Network Marketing guru’s have developed these solutions to grow their businesses, however at the same time making it extremely simple for you to grow yours. Five of my income streams come from one turnkey site which was setup in a few hours with three easy steps. To get started or to learn more go to www.wealthontap.com/pips.html

Making Money out of your First Effort

Monday 23 April 2007 @ 10:35 pm

by: Chen Zarza

Have this phrase broken through your life at least once? I think so, most of us want to be paid when we are sleeping, resting or on vacations. Is there a way to turn your dream into a reality? As a matter of fact, it is possible…

Here is the answer you are waiting for: Passive income. You get money for your previous efforts. “You earn money while you sleep”.

Let me explain what I mean; in general we have two categories of income:

- Active income
- Passive income

Active income means: You get money from business participation (salary, dividends, interest, capital, bonuses…)
Passive income means: You get revenue that does not demand your direct involvement, at least after your first work.

Would you like to have more time to do the things you love? Passive income comes and rescues you, giving you the chance to begin a quality life. It offers you economic freedom, and much, much more. What are the benefits?

1.- Requires from you only a first effort
2.- After starting, it works in auto pilot
3.- Decide when, and where you work
4.- Multiple income streams
5.- Free time, used it as you want
6.- Secure your life…

Some sources of passive income include:

- Royalties (from patents…)
- Network Marketing
- Income from a standalone business
- Property rentals
- Investments
- Creative Work
- Insurance renews
- CD (Audio, Video) Sales
- E-book Sales
- Software Products…

Whether you’re just starting a business, or running it from time now, start shifting your model to create more passive income, and soon, you can achieve personal and financial freedom.

Passive income is more common in the off-line world; people says “around 80% of passive income scenarios stem from real estate investments”. Despite this fact, there are interesting alternatives if you are running an online business.

1.- Affiliate Programs – Look for companies that offer large commissions, and track clients for multiple sales over a long period of time, preferable lifetime commissions .
2.- Your own informational product - You can create an e-book and sell it on the Web. It is a fact; People needs and wants information.
3.- Software products – Are you a software developer, or have a developer team, or have a good idea and hire someone else to carry out it? This is your golden chance.
4.- Do You have a site that attract visitors? You have some advantages:
a.-Rent space for banners or links
b.-Include Google Campaigns (AdWords, AdSense): the number of visitors that click on the advertising says how much you earn.
5.- If you are an expert in your field, create a membership site, and charge for your services.
6.- Resell services: such as hosting, domains…

You have different choices to create passive income across a diversified amount of opportunities. It may be income coming from the same customers, or revenew from new customers. It may require no personal involvement whatsoever, such as an e-book, or software sold on a web site.

Building multiple passive income streams is the best way to secure yourself for the future. Protect yourself against eventualities, plan for the coming events.

Financially Free with Network Marketing

Saturday 14 April 2007 @ 10:40 am

by: Ruby Arens-Halfschepel

Are you also curious, but skeptical, about becoming financially free with network marketing? Do you think financial freedom is only a dream? Why would network marketing be the answer? How should you use it to achieve financial freedom? Let’s begin…

Let’s assume you’ve got a job or you’re self-employed. That means you have to show up for work to get paid. You can say you exchange your time for money. As we tend to spend our money on food, our home, car and other stuff, we have to keep exchanging our time for money.

Although most of us have accepted this, that doesn’t mean it has to be this way. When you feel yourself resisting your 9 to 5 routine or the limited amount of income you’ll be making, you’re ready to look beyond these limits.

The solution to the “exchange your time for money”-problem is to create passive income. As the word suggests this is income that you don’t have to work for. How can that be?

There are two ways by which you can achieve this:
1. Invest in Real Estate to get rental income
2. Own businesses that don’t require your presence

You can still create passive income in real estate today, even without having money, but knowledge of buying houses in preforeclosure is a must. So, if this is your thing, go for it!

If you want to own a business, here are four ways you can get one:
1. Buy a business
2. Buy the rights for a franchise
3. Start your own business
4. Network marketing

The first two options generally require a large investment. If you have the money and the ability to tell a good opportunity from a bad one, be my guest.

The third option is the most difficult. Remember, you want it to be the kind of business that doesn’t require your presence, so you’ll have to have the knowledge to set up all kinds of business systems, hire people, get finance for the start-up period. Also, you have to have a product.

However, once you’ve managed to build a successful business, it can be very satisfying and it can make you very rich. Just read on to find out how you can learn the right skills while growing the capital for your start-up.

And then finally, network marketing. You don’t need capital, there is already a product and all systems (production, communication, distribution, payments) are in place. This means you have no risk and you can start right away.

But can this be a business that doesn’t require your presence? Well, not immediately, but you’ve got a great chance that it will be in a few years! How’s that? Two reasons:

1. If you focus your marketing efforts on the internet, you can use tools like a website and an autoresponder. Once you’ve set-up these tools properly with your “unable to resist” marketing campaign and you’ve got traffic coming to your website, income is automatically generated for you for a long time after your initial efforts.

2. People can join the program under you. As you build your “downline” and teach them well, they start generating sales, from which you get your share. So for that part of your income your presence is no longer required either.

Then, when your presence isn’t required anymore, you can set up another stream of passive income. With this strategy you are well on your way to financial freedom.

Network marketing doesn’t necessarily have to be your end goal. Use network marketing to learn! Learn what it means to run a business. Then you can either excel in network marketing or prepare yourself to start and run your own business.

Hopefully, this article helped you make a choice if and how you want to become financially free. Making a choice you feel confident about helps you to keep going when things don’t go as smooth as you would like them to go.
