Best Network Marketing Companies - What to Look For

When joining an network marketing company make sure you do your homework on that company. There are a lot of MLM companies to choose from and all of them will tell you that their company has the best product and the best compensation plan in the industry. Some claim that their product or services are so good that it will sell itself because it is something that everybody has to have.First of all you have to really believe in the product or services in order to efficiently market it. If you don't you are wasting your time with that company.The first thing I look at before joining a company is their rules and regulations on marketing procedures. A few network marketing companies are dead set on marketing by using the old strategies of making lists, cold calling, three way calling and a number of other old marketing techniques that don't work very well anymore. Some of these companies will not allow their products or services to be marketed any other way.I steer clear of the companies that will not allow marketers to use some of the hottest, cutting edge strategies that some of the top masterminds in this industry are using. These strategies are used to literally explode their businesses into 6 figure incomes in a fraction of the time it takes using the old methods. There is an arsenal of new tools and strategies available to network marketers today, and the companies that don't allow them are seriously losing ground fast in the MLM rankings. I refuse to give a company like this a second look.Another thing I take a real serious look at is whether or not a company offers a residual income as part of its compensation plan. Residual income has the potential to pay you over and over again for the rest of time. I would much rather be paid forever than a one time payout for the same work done. When you apply some of the new mastermind strategies with a residual income opportunity you have the recipe for rapid success that will last your entire life.

What Will it Take For You to Become Successful With Your Own Internet Business?

At some point in everyone's life, there comes a time when they want to take control of their own lives without others constantly telling them what they need to do and when they need to do it. There comes a time when we need to succeed or fail based upon our own merit and efforts. It takes someone with commitment to go out in to the real world and become an entrepreneur. It might be easy to think that becoming an online entrepreneur would be easier than becoming an entrepreneur in a "real" business. However, it would be a mistake to think that there is any difference between the two. It will take motivation, perseverance, and a commitment to doing what you believe in if you intend to become successful.If you intend to become a successful online entrepreneur, then you are going to have to understand online marketing. It might be a slow and, often times, frustrating path that you have started down, but I'm sure that you will decide that it was worth it once you have accomplished your goal. The key is to take it one step at a time. At the end of each day you should be able to look back and point to at least one thing that you did in order to advance your business. If you can do that, then you should consider the day a success. I'm a big believer in making lists and writing important things down in order to ensure that those items are completed. If you are going to be successful in any business, you are going to have to be organized. Once you know exactly what needs to be done, then you can just get to it without any wasted time or effort.Once you get used to doing things that will make you successful, then you will not be able to stop doing them. You will find that you will always be asking yourself what more can you be doing at that moment in order to become successful. As you begin taking the small steps, then you will find that it will become easier to take larger steps as well, but the important thing is to not worry about how fast you are moving toward your goal. The important thing is that you are moving and making progress. Be patient and remain focused and organized, and it will happen.Henry David Thoreau once said "Most men live lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them." I believe very strongly that the biggest risk that we take in life is not taking any risks. If you want to succeed, then you are going to have to go after what you want, or else that song will still be in you after you are gone. What a shame that would be! Good luck my friends.

MonaVie Compensation Plan - Wow!

If you've ever had dreams of bringing home $400,000 per month, or driving a black Mercedes convertible sports sedan past the homes of all the people who laughed at you when you got into MLM, checking out the MonaVie compensation plan might be something you want to do.Why?Because in it's short 5 year history, MonaVie has shattered industry records, they've dominated the Forbes list of fastest growing companies in 3 separate categories and they've produced some of the biggest checks in MLM history."How has this been accomplished?" you might ask.With the MonaVie compensation plan my friend.In a word... Lucrative.Stars and golds and diamonds, oh my!The MonaVie compensation plan is really a nice mix of up front bonus money, customer commissions and long term residual income.Since so much money has been made and records have been broken with the MonaVie Compensation plan, there have been no shortage of MLM companies who have copied this plan, hoping that they could duplicate the phenomenal results of MonaVie.So what makes this plan so special or different from the traditional plans on the market?A BLENDED APPROACHTraditionally, MLM companies have used 1 of 3 pay plans to compensate distributors for business building activities.You've got the classic matrix plan, the dreaded balancing binary, and lastly the producers paradise of a uni-level.What if you could combine all the plans into one?That's what has happened with the MonaVie compensation plan.This millionaire maker of a comp plan is what I like to call a "next generation binary". Binary because you build 2 legs as a rep.A left and a right. This seems to be the comp plan of choice for startups.Why? You might ask?It has been shown that the average person will enroll about 2 people.The matrix plan typically require 5 to fill up the front line.The unilevels have unlimited width with little spillover.The binary, however, is based on the power of 2. Enroll 2, place 1 on the left, 1 on the right and then everything else spills over in you the downline.It's simple and it's based upon something that most people can do.This has an element of the matrix plan because you only have 2 spots on your first level. After that, anyone you enroll must be placed below someone in your downline. That's the attraction of a matrix plan.Ok, so far we've covered the binary and the matrix portion of the plan. What about the unilevel?In a unilevel, everyone you personally sponsor is placed on your first generation.In the MonaVie compensation plan, they computer keeps track of all your personal sponsors and places them on your first generation (in the background). This is called the Executive Check Match.What this means is that you can earn a check match (percentage match of the binary check) on not only your personal sponsors, but their personal sponsors, and theirs, so on and so forth for quite a few generations down. Hence, the uni-level element of the plan.So you see, the MonaVie compensation plan has mixed the best of the best from all the popular plans on the market. This is definitely a contributing factor to their incredible success.WARNING!Don't be lulled in by compensation plan bait alone.The best compensation plan in the world will not pay a dime if you are not able to fill it up.The most important thing you'll need, in MonaVie or any MLM company for that matter is good marketing.If you set up a killer marketing pipeline, where you have qualified prospects coming to you on a daily basis, ready to buy your products and join your business, you can make a fortune with most any comp plan on the market.It's the marketing that really matters my friend.

When Overhead Equals Underpaid

At one point in my life, I was impressed by things like fancy office buildings. Then I got educated!Here are some things to look out for in an MLM company, which also apply to some traditional companies:
Big fancy office building
Big fancy sign
Extensive grounds and landscaping
Expensive decorating
Big staff of customer service representatives
Corporate jet
Payment fees or odd payment methods
Let's tackle the office building first. This is largely a matter of prestige, and not too surprising when you consider the personality type of many corporate leaders. Just as they seem to need expensive jewelry, expensive clothing and shoes, a fancy sports car, and membership at the most exclusive golf country club, they want their office building to scream "we are wealthy."Whom do you want to impress? If your company does most or all of its business on the Internet, and no customers have a need to visit your office, why would they care about a fancy building? In fact, might they assume a fancy building means a higher price for the product? Employees want a nice and comfortable office, but they probably care more about a decent paycheck. Distributors want good commissions, and may never visit the office in person. The size of the staff will dictate the size of the office space needed (more on that later) but it still doesn't mean you need a fancy building on separate grounds.The signs and the landscaping go with the building. If you rent space in a building with multiple tenants, the landlord does the landscaping (probably just enough to make it look decent, not outstanding) and you share outside signage or maybe just have a small sign inside to tell people your suite number.Decorating can be outrageous either way, but the people who want the prestigious building usually want fancy decorating too. Do they have a big fountain or waterfall in the lobby, lots of exotic plants, marble floors, or skylights? The initial cost is high, and there is ongoing maintenance for all of these fancy trappings.Companies do in fact need some customer service representatives. But how many? Every viable company now has a website. The more customers can order online, submit questions via email or find the answer in a FAQ section, the less people you need answering phones. As much as I despise them sometimes, even VRUs (voice response units, those pesky computers that answer the phone and try their best to keep you away from a live person) have their place in streamlining operations. But some companies have made it TOO hard to reach a real person. So you do need a balance to keep customers happy, but in today's computerized world you should not need very many people answering phones.Do you need a corporate jet? In one traditional company I worked for, we learned that the president of the company was using the corporate jet to drop in on golf tournaments where his son was competing. In another company, despite having big offices in 2 cities and needing people to go back and forth all of the time, they did a study and decided that using commercial airlines was far cheaper than keeping the corporate jets. They sold the jets.If you are a distributor for an MLM, does the company assess a fee from every check or deposit? Traditional companies do not, because it isn't necessary! Does your company deposit your commissions to a debit card instead of sending you a check? It might sound cool at first but let me tell you why they do that:
They earn interest on the money you haven't used yet, instead of you earning it
They keep anything left in the account for too long, or after you quit
The first one is obvious. Of course if the company mails a check, they get interest on the money during the mailing time. But once you deposit the check, if you don't need the money right away then you can earn interest on it. It might not be much but why shouldn't you get that money instead of them? The second issue is one that I just realized recently. In some places you can't use a credit or debit card to pay part of the price and pay the rest with another card, or cash or check. Any some businesses have a minimum purchase requirement to use a card. So if you have just a few dollars left on the card, how do you use it? If you transfer the money to your bank account, they assess another fee. So if you have $1.51 on your card and the transfer fee is $1.50, would you do the transfer to get 1 cent? Most people won't! So where does the $1.51 go? Knowing the dropout rate in MLM, think how much money could potentially be left on those cards, and where does it end up? I don't know the answer, except that it does NOT end up with the distributor!Fancy office, or fat paycheck?Are you seeing stars instead of having stars in your eyes?

A Successful Networking Business - The Primary Element

Open any home business magazine, newsletter, or article; login to any internet marketing or network marketing website, forum, or discussion board, and you'll find a myriad of countless opinions and perspectives regarding how to create a successful work at home or networking business. There is a ton of information covering everything imaginable: from web design, copywriting, sales letters...to autoresponders, joint venture partner opportunities, and social media marketing.In our frenzied, information-overloaded, stressed-out lives, we are so frantic and anxious to stay up with the "latest and greatest" pre-launches, products, software, internet marketing techniques, and on and on, that we seem to forget why we are doing all of this in the first place and who's lives we are impacting in the interim.When asked what motivates people to start a home business, although there are some unique responses, the more common replies include: wanting more time freedom, money, a house, a new car, college tuition for the kids, etc. etc.Starting a home business can be fun but it certainly isn't for the faint of heart. Let's call a spade a spade. It requires persistence, commitment to one's goals, focus, patience and perseverance, hard work, and time. And depending on what business you chose, it can also cost a significant amount of money, for example buying a well-known franchise.So what determines success in networking or a work at home business? Perhaps a better question would be: What sustains success? Argueably, it's not the product or service your company provides. Companies and business opportunities come and go all the time.If one were to remove all of the extraneous factors, what is left to consider? Yes, you. You are the key factor, the constant in our hypothetical equation. And let's dig a little deeper. Can just anyone be successful in this highly competitive business? I think we'd all agree: "no." What qualities predict success in network marketing? What is the primary element absolutely essential to establish and maintain a successful networking business or mlm network marketing business? I'll tell you. It's integrity.Out of the thousands of business opportunities available today, which one should you choose? There's lots of practical criteria to weed through including the business model, compensation plan, etc. etc. but ask yourself this question: Is the company itself - as well as the product or service I will be offering to people - based on integrity? Is it something I will be proud to represent? Does the company share my moral principles? Are the products and services and the company's mission based on the virtues important to me, such as honesty, fairness, and trustworthiness?If one subscribes to the idea of "attraction marketing" or "magnetic marketing", what makes one person more attractive than another? Integrity. Zig Ziglar proposed the idea of putting other's needs ahead of your own in order to get what you want. Bob Burg said "The most successful networkers, who receive tons of referrals and feel truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person's needs ahead of their own."If you want people to "know you, like you, and trust you," and be eager to join you in your business, you must have integrity. You must exemplify sincerity, honesty, trustworthiness, and truthfulness. You won't automatically get people to like or trust you just because you smile at them and give them information about networking. You have to earn their trust and respect, just as you do in any relationship. Demonstrate you truly care about their success by putting their needs ahead of your own. Go the extra mile to help them. Have integrity. Then you'll experience massive success in your business and get all the things you want, too.

Network Marketing Works For Those Who Work Hard

As we all know, there are literally hundreds, even thousands, of ways to market your business these days and radio, especially talk radio, can be an extremely effective means of advertising. Recently, we received a response to a radio ad about how important it is to implement a "Plan B" you can count on during these difficult times. A well-educated, professional gentleman, who is obviously looking for his own Personal Stimulus Package, called for more information. During the conversation, he responded with one of my all-time favorite lines, "My friends failed at network marketing, so I don't think it's for me."If you have been in network marketing any length of time, you have heard this comment before; but, this time, I couldn't stop thinking about it because here is an individual who was basing an important personal decision on the simple fact that his friends said it didn't work. My concern, at this point, was not why his friends failed but why he was allowing their failures to influence his decision. The response to his comment was priceless, "I also know a lot of people who have failed at network marketing, but I chose not to be one of them."Yes, unfortunately, some people do fail at network marketing but there are also many people who choose not to fail. Your decision not to fail is where your success begins. Network Marketing works for those who work hard, are not influenced by the failures of others, and who know that it takes hard work to be a winner. So, surround yourself and be positively influenced by those who are successful in this awesome industry. Make new friends with people who have ambitions and goals similar to yours and be determined to prove to others that you have made the choice to be successful in network marketing.
