Traditional MLM Marketing - Why These 2 Recruiting Methods Continue to Work Successfully

The network marketing industry has been alive for over a century now and it has proven to be a very lucrative industry to be in. Over the years there have been many traditional MLM marketing strategies that were used to build some very big businesses and many are still used today. Many people say that some of the strategies that are being taught today don't work any longer but I beg to differ.In this article I will talk about 2 of the many marketing techniques that still work today that will always work. With the development of new communication technologies and gadgets many people are not using some of the older traditional strategies but they still work just fine.One of the traditional MLM marketing methods that will always work is using the 3 foot rule. They call this strategy the 3 foot rule because you are supposed to talk to any and everyone within 3 feet of where you are and ask them if they are interested in an additional way of making money. This way of building your business works because you are using the law of large numbers. If you set a goal of talking to 100 people a day you will get some people that will say yes and you will contact them at a later date for a follow up session.The second traditional MLM marketing method that will always work is utilizing home meetings. This is a strategy where you invite your friends, family and acquaintances over to your house after you have shared some information about your new business and have a more detailed presentation prepared for them to look at, preferably done by an experienced representative.These are just 2 techniques that you can use to build your network marketing business, I wanted to get into these because they have and will always stand the test of time. If you use your imagination and use any combination of these strategies and sprinkle some of the online marketing methods in with them I'm sure you will be on a path to building a successful network marketing business.

What is a Greenpreneur?

Everyone knows that the environment is a mess, and the government isn't doing much to correct the situation. That means, it's up to US - everyday people - to do what we can to make a difference. Fortunately, there are many new jobs that people can jump into, to become America's new working class: Greenpreneurs.Perhaps the most visible way to switch gears is to go back to school - many people are choosing online universities - to get a new "green" degree. There are so many avenues to choose from, a quick internet search will give you many ideas. But that's not the only way to make a great income.For instance, I recently started working with a company that helps people to replace toxic household products with non-toxic household products. It is a well known fact that the products we use in our homes are poisoning us - causing asthma, cancer, fibromyalgia, ADHD, Autism, and many other illnesses and irreversible conditions. So, by simply switching to non-toxic, you are drastically improving not only the health of your family, but the environment as well! It's a win-win situation.That's just one example of how you can become a Greenpreneur. There are also training centers, where you can learn to build green houses, become an energy auditor, or learn more about our very concerning fresh water situation.

How to Build a More Solid Client Base in Network Marketing

When asked why they became a network marketer, most people will tell you it was for the money but that's really not the reason.Nobody works their butt off building a business or even working at a job for that matter just to acquire fancy little pieces of paper. We all work hard at what we are doing so we may acquire the things that money can buy. One big one for me is time. More time to do the things that I have always wanted to do in life.Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you became a network marketer? Was it the money? Was it so you can have more time to spend with your family? Was it because you hate your job? These are very important question because if you don't know why you are doing something, you are likely not going to succeed at it.Working with people is a huge part of network marketing. You have to be available to your people to teach and guide them in the right direction. You must help them to become successful in order to be successful yourself. If you are not good with people then network marketing may not be for you. Remember these are not just numbers you are sponsoring. These are real people just like you and I.Remember whatever you are doing to build your business, you will want your down line to do the same so if you need a reason for what you are doing so will they. You want to focus on those reason. Too many times I have heard up lines focus on how much money you can make or how many people you can sign up.You need to find out what motivates people. You can just spout off how much money someone can make or how successful so-and-so is. You need to focus on what that other person wants out of life and offer them the tools and guidance to be able to achieve that goal.Most people work their butts off at their jobs hoping to just save enough money in order to buy that new car or house or to take that dream vacation they have always wanted but could never afford. A great many people won't even do that much. How unrealistic does it seem when you approach these people and tell them they can make all kinds of money and quit their jobs or travel the world just by signing this piece of paper so you can become their sponsor?You might sign up a few people like that but you will not sign up as many people as you might using different methods.Have you ever heard the term "silence is golden"? Have you ever heard of the technique of talking yourself out of a sale? Well these statements are absolutely true.One of my favourite quotes has to be "God gave to two ears and one mouth so you can listen twice as much as you speak."You will achieve greater success by listening to your prospect in order to find out what they need. Ask lots of questions and be genuinely interested in what they have to say. Save your business for later. Remember the answers come after the questions if you get my drift. Make a new friend not just a client because if your down line is going to help your business succeed then they will turn out to be the best friends you will ever meet.To Your Success,AJ

Monavie Complaints - The Real Truth Exposed About FTC Rules

You have probably wondering where did all these complaints come from. Can it be partly to blame on the fact that Monavie was the first company to popularize the health benefits of acai berries back in 2005? Just think about it. It pays to be the first to dominate the market share and Monavie's Dallin Larsen should be proud of this remarkable accomplishment. What is so sad about the health and wellness industry is new companies that are desperately trying to grab a market share of this highly competitive acai berry industry are brainwashing people with their hypnotically negative advertising campaign. And to get people to blog about it and have it go virally out of control is outrageously despicable low-ball online marketing tactics that really can really have some serious repercussions.Monavie Distributors Are To Be Blamed For The Violation Of Guidelines Set By the Monavie OrganizationThe reason why there are so many complaints against them is due to the fact that there are some distributors who are overstating the benefits of what the Monavie fruit juice can do. Let me give you a perfect example.Someone who said "how the Monavie nutrients restored her eyesight" is considered violation of the guidelines set forth in the Monavie distributor handbook pertaining what you can or cannot say. According to the FTC rules and guidelines, only drugs can cure disease and food cannot. As harsh as this may sound, these are just the rules health and wellness companies are dealt with and we must abide by them.If The Juice Did Restore A Person's Eyesite - How Should It Be Worded In Order To Abide By The FTC Rules?Monavie guidelines states that it is not okay for a distributor to state a health benefit that does reflect the typical results people would normally experience. That would require such a statement to be substantiated with scientific studies and so forth.However, Monavie does allow a person to say that they truly believe (believe is the keyword here) that the juice has restored their eyesight. By using such terms, you are not stating the typical results (typical is the keyword here) what people are going to experience. This is where people can get in trouble with the law with regard to claims that seem too good to be true.If someone told you that they truly "believe" that the juice products have restored their eyesight, you will know it is a valid statement of opinion as opposed to a valid statement of fact.Monavie Is Attempting To Crack Down On Those Who Are In Violation Of Their Guidelines As It Relates To The FTC RulesMonavie has set up a compliance department to notify those distributors who are violating the terms of their distributorship agreement via advertisement methods that make claims about the product's capacity to cure an ailment or disease. And if those advertisement methods consist of article marketing or blogging that gets picked up by other bloggers who then circulate that information throughout the internet, there is no way the distributor can systematically remove that article post at the request of Monavie's compliance department. So the distributor can lose his or her distributorship as a result of such incidences.What is even more scarier is that there are people who deliberately falsify the identity of other reputable distributors by creating a blog in their name and deliberately make outrageous claims about products and services that could get land those reputable distributors in hot water. Not too long ago, I had some distributor from Monavie requested me to remove a blog post I had made regarding the income earnings of one well known distributor. I was told that my statement could land that distributor in hot water. I abided by their request and removed the post. Yikes.

Why MLM Programs May Be Right For You

Multi Level Marketing or MLM's is the latest happening thing nowadays as far as making money is concerned. With the global economic slowdown jeopardizing the family budget, people are ready to go an extra mile and MLM is the answer for them. With a host of companies and their exquisite range of products and incentives vying for the attention of people all over the world, this concept is fast gaining ground because of its special features when compared to other marketing techniques.In MLM each and every person irrespective of his sex, class, education or business acumen for that matter can do business in the confines of his locality involving his friends, colleagues and family members. Confident housewives who want to make some extra bucks instead of wasting time glued to the television sets can do MLM and really mint money. You are paid for each and every transaction made by a person who joined the business through yourself.Moreover you can do this work at any time you wish in any manner because you are your own boss. Finally apart from ensuring a respectable life, MLM also introduces you to a wide range of top quality products that you would otherwise have ignored. Even in remote areas of countries like India there are lots of families wholly devoting their time to MLM and are earning like anything. It will sound implausible but in a north-western state of India a multi national MLM company recently opened their regional office to serve the large number of their members in that area alone! Regular attendance to meetings and workshops will expose you to many successful people who will narrate to you their "rags to riches" story and you will be confident like never before.

Network Marketing Prospecting - 3 Things You Can Do Right Now to Get Better Results

The Internet has become a very crowded place these days. Not only do you have other business opportunities vying for your prospect's attention, but you have marketing systems, and list builders trying to steal their attention as well.What you are left with are prospects who don't know what to do, which way to turn, and whom to trust. Keep in mind that the average prospect out there has tried many different opportunities, programs and systems...only to be broker and more frustrated than when they first started.The last "guy" that told them they would help them, left them high and dry. So trust is a big issue for most prospects you run into. Your network marketing prospecting has probably taken a nose dive if you're not able to position yourself and your program in the right way...the way that says to your prospects "I'm different than everybody else and I can help you get what you want."Here are three simple things you can do right now that will help you get better results in your network marketing prospecting.1. Brand yourself. People like to form relationships with people...not systems or opportunities. Are you portraying yourself as someone who truly cares and wants to help people? Are you distinguishable from the other "noise" out there...or are you starting to blend in with everybody else?2. Offer a solution that helps your prospects. Presenting your program to your prospects is not a way to help them...if you can't show them how to use it to help them get what they want. Remember your average prospect has joined multiple programs, systems, and opportunities. What makes you and your program different? How can it help them? If you can't answer these simple questions, chances are you're having a difficult time trying to get sign ups.3. Build your list. Most people who see your offer will not join or buy from you. That's just how it is. This is why it is really important to capture your potential prospects' name and email address. Once you have them in your marketing funnel, you can build a relationship with them. As you get better with this, your network marketing prospecting ratio will get better as long as you know how to do this effectively.

Frank Kern and Trey Smith's "List Control" - Four Module Product Review

Frank Kern and Trey Smith are about as popular as any marketers could ever be, even more popular it seems then some pop or rock stars we know. Their latest product is called "List Control" and has as of now hit the market. So what is list control all about, and will this product be the next "number one hit" from these stars of Internet marketing?We all know who they are, Internet marketing would not be Internet marketing without the likes of Frank Kern and Trey Smith. These gentlemen have been the leaders in the industry for as long as the industry has been around. The latest of the products that they offer is called List Control a 4 module product, and it does have some compelling ad copy that just sucks you in. The product is going to be in depth on not only building your list of clients and customers, but how to maintain that list and keeping them happy and purchasing your products and opportunities online continually.For the first time however, Frank Kern will give out a couple secrets on how he comes up with the "killer" ad copy to grab the attention of the viewer and hopefully keep it. Other trainings involved will consist of marketing strategies on free advertising platforms. As far as Internet marketers that have already found success, these free platforms are great, and for the newbie who is low on funds these are great for gathering much needed traffic quickly. List Control does come at a low cost at first, but the complete program does come in around $2000 dollars and will be considered the latest and greatest program from which there will be much information to glean.This is a product review however, and as a successful Internet entrepreneur I will offer this. There are many products everyday that are launched online and packed with new...or updated information on Internet marketing. These programs will cost and if this is only the latest and greatest training there are still no guarantees that it or they will work for you so do your due diligence before your purchase. The issue of a single program I found was a factor for my decision to opt for a continuing style of training in Internet marketing. I, like many, wanted to cut down the cost of buying one new program after the other. Considering the cost over the long haul, a bigger fee upfront for training that was added to at no more cost seemed drastically less than continually upgrading for the latest and greatest.Frank Kern does know his stuff, and anyone in the world of Internet marketing would love to sit down and pick his brain for an hour. List Control does seem to offer a great deal of training in the list building aspect of Internet marketing and for some already in his program, this could be a good addition to the knowledge base that Frank and Trey have built.
