Network Marketing: Is It Right for You?

Friday, March 12th, 2010

The vast majority of Network Marketers fail in their first year. Of those who DO succeed, most make a paltry income.

That isn’t enough money to attract high-quality people. I doubt it’s enough to interest you, either.

So what can you do to stack the deck in your favor once you’ve caught the “MLM bug”?

Unless you’re fortunate enough to have a tech-savvy sponsor, you’re probably not going to get much help finding a way to build your business on the internet. It’s not your sponsor’s fault though. (Keep in mind that if he or she is “average”, they have no idea how to build a network!)

The internet has only recently become a useful tool for building a network. It has changed the way we live, but certain recent developments have made possible for non-technical people to use it to automatically recruit and train others.

If your sponsor tells you that the way to make money is to sell a lot of product and find a few other people who will do the same thing, they probably won’t business very long. If you follow their advice, neither will do. You have to feel comfortable that your product is high-quality so you can recommend it wholeheartedly.

If you want to sleep well at night, you have to sell a quality product from a company that provides good customer service. Since you’re going to devote a lot of your free time to telling others about your product, you want a company that will take care of your customers, otherwise you might suddenly find yourself not getting invitations to parties, dinners, and family get-togethers.

Your Product Is Not Important To Your Success! Products come and go. There’s a new weight-loss product every week.

People will be attracted to you as a sponsor for one of two reasons. First, you can effectively help them envision a future of financial independence rather than financial bondage and debt, and secondly, you can prove to them that you have a system they can duplicate quickly and easily.

The reason most people fail in MLM is that once they’ve signed up for their primary opportunity, they have no idea what to do. It’s really weird that in the Internet era, the same old garbage advice is handed down from sponsor to recruit: “make a list of 100 people and start calling them.”

OMG! Who in their right mind wants to call 100 people who don’t want to hear about a business opportunity? (Actually, I know someone who LOVES to do that. Thank God for Caller ID. I can avoid his calls and not hurt his feelings! He’s not in his right mind.)

The Net is the ideal tool for building a networking business. But it seems out of reach of most people because it seems like you need to be a computer wiz to create a user-friendly system. Unless you’re a high-end programmer, that’s almost impossible.

If you have those skills, marketing and computer programming, you could create a product that hundreds of thousands of network marketers would want, so please don’t let me dissuade you from trying. I might be the first to sign up!

The best system I’ve found is a multi-part system. Part One is called Magnetic Sponsoring by Mike Dillard. Mike had some powerful insights into how people approach network marketing. He realized that most people simply don’t have the MINDSET to be successful and that mindset is fundamentally important. Not one MLMer in a hundred knows this vital piece. Magnetic Sponsoring teaches you how to quickly and easily acquire the right mindset.

Part Two is called MLM Lead system Pro, or “MLSP”. The first part, Magnetic Sponsoring, is all about adjusting and improving your thinking so that you have the right concepts and ideas firmly in place as you begin your business. MLSP is the actual “recruiting machine” that walks you through the buiding process, step-by-step.

I’ve been recommending Magnetic Sponsoring to my team and their response has been universally positive. If you’re new to the industry and still trying to figure out how to do “the right way”, I recommend you check it out by clicking the link in my signature.

After struggling to build his MLM for many years, John Zehr discovered a way to attract new distributors almost magically. He’s offering free training videos that explain the “Magnetic Sponsoring” technology in detail in a his clear and east to follow style.

For Homeowners: How to Put Home Information at Classifieds

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

With the growing pace of communication and information spreading, buying and selling home have also worked effectively with the help of online media. Among the many media for home listing such as real estate broker sites, classified sites, directories, and others, classifieds have appeared to be one of the most popular media. It offers flexibility, inexpensive advertising, and yet effective because people have been accustomed to finding homes at offline classifieds since long time ago. Now the constraint with
classifieds is the limited ads space.

Efficiency is really challenged here since you want the ads to be effective and representative. Home has many features and attributes to be delivered to prospective buyers, yet the space is few. You have to make sure the best ones are eye catching and readable by homebuyers though. There are some tips to put home information at classifieds. We know that most classifieds only allow around 250-300 characters. That means the words are lesser than that. To start the word filtering, divide your ads into three parts: headline, content, and closing.

The headline should tell a few interesting stuff about the home. Make buyers feel interested in reading further. Home is not fast moving consumer good and everyone seems to have his/her own imagination towards a perfect home. A catchy headline should grab a part of the excitement. The content will do the rest. Of course the headline can not be too exposing because you only have tiny characters. Just say the standard words and then add personalization to make it sounds engaging.

The content should say all about the home features. Have the standard information listed. Location, number of bedrooms, and size should usually be stated. Home price is not always a must because the ad space is limited and you want to expose the best features first. If your home is closed to a department store, business center, school, or else, that will be good and appealing to specific market segment. State the information. You know, small starting-up family may love to know if a home is close to school, city park, or office. A household with two incomes may need to find home that is close to their office. It is just helpful if they know it in advance. Also, tell the most attractive part of your home, can be the kitchen, garden, architecture, or any. This will make them curious and give a bit clue about how lovely the home is.

For the closing, write what will encourage buyers to contact and find further information. They can be psychologically or financially encouraging. People need stimulation to act further. Just make sure you utilize all the available features but also be frank about the home condition. Filtering out those who are not interested in your home will save time in the future. Let them see the features from a virtual tour, if possible. And they will decide later. Since the word capacity is small, you need to write all in efficiently. Make a list first, and then get rid of those that are not so critical.

Internet Marketing - Advantages of Professional Development

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

If you are new to internet marketing you may feel like you are entering onto a battleground, with strange weaponry, unexpected obstacles and opposition, and here and there a landmine you must watch out for. You need a professional warrior, an internet savvy instructor with experience who specializes in providing the professional and personal development you need to successfully enter the powerful business world of the internet. A knowledgeable instructor can give you the tools you need to achieve your goal.

If you’re like most people, including me, nothing you have done previously in your life, has adequately prepared you to launch your own internet business. Therefore, you must get training. I’ll refer to this training as professional development or personal development.

You need to learn the skills and knowledge that are required in your chosen niche. The best way to do this is to analyze your strengths and weaknesses. What are your long-term and your short-term objectives? What skills to you have to master in order to achieve your objectives? What is your preferred method to market your business, your products, and your services?

In order to have a successful marketing business, there are a few characteristics that you need to possess:

* Am I willing to learn and take advice from my professional mentor?

* You must be ready willing and able to learn.

* You must devote a minimum of 7-10 hours each and every week to business development.

* You must have a burning desire to succeed. Many people refer to this as the “fire in the belly”

* You must be confident, self-motivated, and discipline in pursuit of prosperity. Remember, you’ve got to earn it. There is no free lunch.

Don’t let anyone con you into thinking this battle will be won easily. Your success will require commitment and hard work on your part, and the willingness to learn and grow. Impatience is not an option.

If you want to do business online, you need to have a working knowledge of several disciplines. Your business skills are important, so although you may decide to outsource many of your projects you need to be able to recognize good work when you see it. You need to be able to effectively oversee the work of your employees or virtual assistants.

You cannot delegate quality to others - your success depends on your knowing that everything is being done according to your standards. Following are examples of the skills you need to develop:

Copywriting - the art of persuasion. You want to create a website or blog that sells, so that when you read it you immediately want to reach for your credit card and buy everything that’s available.

Web video marketing - nothing sells like video. A correctly scripted and produced video will make you more money than anything else. I know the top resources online today and can point you to them.

Social marketing - you need to invade this new online world. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, and LinkedIn have changed the way professionals keep in touch and reach out to customers. The uses and applications expand daily, and I have already scouted out the best sources for learning available.

Blogging - people have become financially secure simply by blogging. Putting up a blog and broadcasting to the universe is much easier than you think. When I first started, all I was able to do was send and receive email. Now I have several blogs and I’m building more everyday. If you follow my example, guidance and training, soon you’ll be teaching others too.

Internet automated responses and emails-these are special communication services your customers truly appreciate, and with my help, you will quickly be dealing with all the options available in order to put a truly professional sheen on your site.

Can Classified Ads Improve Your Business Performance?

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Classified ads are a very convenient way of advertising in newspapers and also online. There usually is a classified ads section in your local newspaper. Besides, you have the option of advertising on a web-based service such as Craigslist or Kijiji, which have a local site specific to your area. Classifieds are simple advertisements, usually not giving more information than the contact number or email of the advertiser and the product to be sold or rented. Classifieds are especially useful for reaching out to the local population. They are pretty cheap too, and there is always a good chance that people will be looking for something in the range of whatever you are advertising.

Classified advertising is significantly different from mainstream advertising in many ways. Firstly, general individuals can buy classified advertising space in a newspaper. Usually newspapers have a dedicated space, usually a few pages for classified ads. Also these advertisements are classified, i.e. they are grouped into sections alphabetically in the classifieds section of the newspaper. Typically the sections include ‘for sale’ and ‘for rent’ categories. Classifieds are often thoroughly searched for apartment sale and rent, besides other rent and sale, localized businesses and services, etc. A major difference between mainstream advertising and classified advertising is that the target population also searches for the advertisements in classifieds, while in mainstream advertising the advertisers have to try and catch the population’s attention through multiple media and graphics and audio etc. Classifieds usually don’t include graphics.

While buying newspaper space for a classified ad, you should consider the newspapers’ circulation and popularity. A widely circulated newspaper will cost more in terms of advertising space but is usually worth it, since it reaches a larger audience. If you can afford to buy more space you can give a better description of your product or service in your classified. Classifieds usually follow a line-based pricing model so you should be careful while deciding how to go about it.

Classified ads are also available in “pennysavers”. Pennysavers are alternative newspapers circulated locally for free usually weekly, or monthly in areas with lower populations. They are quite common and your locality is sure to have at least one in regular circulation. These can be an option, other than the regular classified space, since people will probably perceive ads in these differently.

Through the advent of the internet, classified ads have become more convenient online. The popularity of online classifieds is growing while that of newspaper-based classifieds is dropping. You can publish classified ads via websites such as Craigslist, Kijiji, or Gumtree, which are the most popular classified websites. Gumtree mostly focuses on housing ads. Craigslist is the most popular such website in the US and has around 700 websites for different localities all over the world. If your area has a Craigslist site catering to it, it is probably a good option to advertise here due to its popularity.

Also you can search for options free advertising when classified ads are concerned, especially if
you think you don’t need to spend money to sell your stuff.

A Beginner’s Guide to Free Ads

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

If you are looking to sell something you don’t need or if you have to market your services, free ads is probably something you’ve considered. Free advertisements are offered nowadays by many websites, which may be local or global ones like Craigslist. Global sites such as Craigslist actually have a lot of portals for different localities or areas. Depending on the exposure you require, you can decide where to post your free advertisement.

Online free ads are an increasingly popular form of classified advertising nowadays, and are pushing newspaper-based classifieds behind. Due to ease of access to the Internet, they are becoming the preferred method of advertising. Posting a free ad online is very easy compared to buying classified ad space in a newspaper. Also, the space available is more. An online ad may also reach more people than a classified in a newspaper. Free ads are a convenient method of advertising.

Posting free ads is very easy, since all you need is an email ID, a user-name and password for the site concerned. Once you login, you just have to enter a few fields related to your ad and the post itself. The post usually has a large enough word limit to let you give a decent description of your item or service. When your ad gets posted under the required section and in the specified area or locality, the people searching for the kind of item you are selling in your area will find the post. You are usually notified on your email when someone replies to your post. It is good practice to include your contact number in the post, like in the classifieds section of a newspaper, so that prospective customers can contact you immediately.

Posting free ads is a good advertising practice especially for local sales of items such as furniture and automobiles, and for services such as classes and tuition. Personal ads are also allowed; especially adult services which cannot be advertised in regular newspapers can be advertised here. Social networking sites are a better option to find friends, though.

If you are searching among free ads, you should be careful of advertisements posted out of malicious intent. Some may be spam, and some link you to web pages which are pornographic in nature or might force your browser to download malware or viruses onto your PC. The internet being difficult to regulate, this is a problem faced by all internet-based media and you should try to be safe from it. Other than these minor hassles, searching for stuff in free ads is very easy. All you have to do is specify a location and then look in the category you are looking for. Communication between buyer and seller is very easy once the product or service is spotted.

With a good advertisement on your local website or the local portal of a global website, you can make a deal pretty quickly. The effectiveness of this system is very good and as long as you follow the basic rules of advertising, you’ll have a hassle-free experience.

USA Jobs For Students

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

You know there are many posted USA jobs for students. And after all, you wish to earn extra money for yourself or maybe your study. Or you may want to feel the work experience before later really engaging in the work. So the time is just right. There are many USA jobs posted on sites. They are quite popular because you have good opportunity for career development as well as higher income level now and/or later when you are graduated. The jobs are also wide in selection. You can be a pharmacy assistant, lawyer assistant, book keeper, accountant, or even work with one of the governmental agencies. But before looking further about the jobs, you need to consider some things.

First of all, ask yourself if you are an organized person with good study habits. It is not easy to allocate time wisely between study and work. And the fact may be harder when you already start the work. Taking part time jobs needs commitment and seriousness to both of the big responsibilities. You do not want to delay the graduation only for the extra temporary income.

After that, check how you spend your spare time so far and how you will do it differently with a part time job. You will have to let go some fun time with friends. Forget about the suppleness to go out anytime when you are asked, now you must consider the extra hours of works and plan your rest and study time better. So evaluate your habits so far and check if you will be able to manage the schedule efficient and effectively.

After making sure that you are ready for a part time job, you can start the search. Many jobs will have you go through the applying and interview process. Prepare your application letter. Write anything that describes your qualifications and strengths well, but keep it frank and short. You can find tips about writing a good CV on many sites. At interviews, make sure you answer questions frankly.

Students usually have to negotiate their schedules with the new employers. Remember to tell the schedule and work condition you can fulfill in advance, also in regards to holiday. If the job does not allow you to follow the schedule, or if the employer is not willing to tolerate, then you would better find other job rather than forcing beyond the limit. The USA jobs you find can be formal or semi-formal, and they usually pay good enough. First time part timers may get hard learning to adapt with the time and environment. The process will go smoother over time.

Never mind because you can start slowly from the beginning. Take fewer shifts and be willing to learn new things and explore yourself. Once you pick a job, commit yourself to allocate the best between both study and work. At the end you will feel great with the success and achievement. If you can do that good and focus on two big things at a time, you should be successful too in the real work place.

How Can A Business Directory Help Your Firm?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

In today’s global world, nothing is limited by physical boundaries. Anyone, anywhere in the world can communicate, exchange information, exchange expertise, buy and sell things with anyone else around the world. There are no restrictions anymore - neither in the business area nor the social one.

With business being the competitive and cut throat field that it is, the advent of globalization has only brought about higher standards in production, manufacturing and services. The world has become one large shopping mall for consumers and one large ocean with many fish for business owners. The only way to survive and to grow in this environment is to be the best. For manufacturers, it involves using the best materials and the newest production techniques to stay ahead of the competition. For service providers, it is essential to know what the competition is doing and to stay one step ahead of them at all times.

With the advent of the internet, your traditional Yellow Pages have been transformed into a vast business directory online, where every business is listed and considerable information regarding them is given. A business directory is basically an internet site or a printed listing of all the businesses (with their information) under some specific parameters. A business directory lists businesses under some category, making it an easy task to search for, and contact any business required.

While some business directories offer only basic details such as the name of the business, the postal address, telephone numbers etc, along with their area of expertise; other, more detailed business directories, offer company reviews, comments and feedback as well. Some of the larger and more trusted search engines have even more useful features, giving personalized information specific to each business. Google usually displays the exact location of every business using Google Maps, something no traditional Yellow Pages book can do.

As more and more companies list themselves on the internet, finding exactly what you want to purchase becomes easier and easier. Whether you are a manufacturer looking for a supplier, or vice versa, or just a consumer, a business directory has information to satisfy everyone. Advertising ensures that businesses can post their listings online for free, providing great value for no money. Even if business owners are required to pay to put up listings, the amount of exposure gained from the internet ensures that there is a good ROI (return on investment). Also, displaying business information, on as many business directories as possible, greatly increases the website’s SEO (search engine optimization).

There are a multitude of such online as well as the conventional printed business directories available, but online directories always have several advantages over the printed variety. They are always current and updated, and offer much more information than its printed counterpart.

Directories list businesses under certain categories, based on either their area of expertise, or location, or size. With the advent of business directories, globalization has been made easier, quicker and more efficient than ever before. A business of any size can get a global exposure thanks to business directories.

Alex Wu operates a business directory website that lets people advertise, build groups, and connect. He hopes to create an active environment for businesses to place their job listings.
