How to Eliminate MLM Rejection

Traditionally, one of the biggest obstacles to success for new people in MLM network marketing has been rejection. It seems to take the biggest toll when someone is brand new in their business and their enthusiasm is at its highest. Rejection can come in many forms ranging from a polite "no, but thanks for sharing it with me" to outright rude, insulting, or sometimes even vulgar.Unfortunately, rejection from the people we know and love the most can sometimes be the most hurtful, even though that is usually not their intention. Nobody likes rejection. Some can take more than others. Everyone has a limit. Rejection has caused many people to quit their new business before they've even given it a fair shot. Typically, new networkers have been taught old-school methods like:Make a list of 100 friends, neighbors, and relatives to approach.Call in a favor or two.Purchase opportunity seeker leads.Host home parties.It's no wonder they suffer so much rejection. They are talking to the wrong people...people who for the most part, are not the least bit interested! Making the situation even worse, their sponsors have given them bogus advice like:You just need to talk to more people.Work through the rejection.Every 'no' you get means you're closer to a 'yes.'No wonder so many give up in our industry. The good news is that you can build a successful MLM network marketing business without dealing with rejection. And thanks to the Internet, you can do it mostly for free! The key is to promote yourself, rather than your business. We call it attraction marketing. With the right system, you can brand yourself as a leader and expert in the MLM industry.Using the Internet, you can quickly get enough exposure so that prospects interested in and actively searching for a networking opportunity will be contacting you, rather than you chasing them. With this approach you can eliminate rejection in your MLM network marketing efforts.

Keyword Optimization - Understanding Keyword Optimization For the Beginning MLMer

Keyword Optimization is the biggest business on the internet. For the beginning MLMer, it is the study of words and word combinations as it relate to individual behavior on the internet. And for big business its a complex study of probabilities and algorithms analyzing simple behavior as it relate to the use of words and word combinations used by people on the internet.And for everyone else its the study of how much traffic is likely to be headed in any given direction on any number of lanes in any area at any given time of the day or night throughout the week, month, or year on the information superhighway.For all of us conducting business on the internet, it is the science of trying to make sense out of a ridiculous number of possible combinations associated with people's behavior as they enter words on the keypads of their computers in attempt to deliberately or haphazardly locate something on the internet; considering their interest, intellect, habits, whims, and misspellings as we attempt to steer as much of this traffic as possible to our business or website in an effort to make a dollar.For the beginning MLMer who is stepping out into this traffic for the first time, you would do well to carry a map and some safety equipment as you try to steer some of this traffic to your business. That map is called keyword optimization or search engine optimization (SEO).You can find a number of these maps at no cost to you. Google has a free one called the AdWords Google keyword tool. And there is another free keyword analyzer that SEO has available for users on their site. Further, there is another free tool called NicheBot Classic. And still there are others that cost a few dollars and are reputed to be more sophisticated like MicroNicheFinder, KeywordRockstar, and a host of others.The point is that the effectiveness of all your business cards, business names, website designs, advertisements, and appeal of your products and services that you sell on the internet is going to be governed by how well you read these maps.The beginning MLMer would do well to use a little caution, looking in all directions, before stepping out and directing traffic to your new business on the information superhighway. Because if you don't know which direction you are heading, you can have a few accidents that will cause you to have a pile up of mistakes that can crush you financially. So as a beginner I would caution you to study your keyword maps before starting out on this superhighway with your new business.Understanding keyword optimization is necessary for getting you where you are trying to go quickly and successfully.

LifeWave Review - The Truth About Lifewave Revealed

Is all the hype surrounding LifeWave warranted? LifeWave has an edge in the market but that doesn't necessarily mean you can make money. Read on to find out if this MLM Company is the right fit for you.The CompanyLifeWave is a producer and manufacturer of what they call personal improvement technology. Founded in 2002 by David Schmidt this network marketing company has gone on to make waves in the industry and has even had some celebrity endorsements.David Schmidt himself has a mysterious past and it's even been said that the products on offer from LifeWave have been sold through at least 3 different MLM companies.Be that as it may, this company has made an impact in this industry.Lifewave ProductsHere are the products on offer:Energy Enhancer(Anti-Fatigue)
IceWave(Joint relief)

The light triggers your brain to signal to the body to produce melanin(the thing that puts colour on your skin).The patches from LifeWave are supposed to act as a transmitter and tell your brain to send signals to the rest of your body with instructions to produce more of the things that make you healthy.I'd just like to say that I'm not a scientist so I can't verify any of this as fact.The Opportunity You're Looking For?LifeWave has a market to sell this product to, that's for sure. This network marketing company has jumped on the health supplement bandwagon and while this market may be a little saturated they have enough of an edge to be able to compete if not dominate.What bothers me though, is that most people will join out of a real desire to change their destiny and won't be told the truth about how to be successful until after they join.When I first started in the industry I was completely hooked on my opportunity thinking it was the perfect ticket to financial freedom. Little did I know, there was one area I should've been focusing on.Lead GenerationWhen most marketers show income proof they know it is the fastest way in to someone's emotions.It wasn't until a little later that I was introduced to the world of INTERNET MARKETING and things began to change for me.If you want to join LifeWave then go ahead but trust me if you don't learn how to generate your own leads then you are in serious trouble.If you don't have leads coming in then you have no business period, end of story, le fin.

Numis Network MLM Review - Why Juice Does Not Retain Value Like Silver Coins

You have probably seen your share of health and wellness network marketing companies that promote vitamins, juices, weight loss products, skin care and the list goes on. Have you heard of the Numis Network? If you have not, Numis Network is the first MLM company to promote the sale of Numismatic gold and silver coins. There was a company that attempted a few years ago to peddle gold bullion coins through the same MLM distribution channel via mail order. Unfortunately they did not last long at all. The question you are probably wondering right now if spending $100 a month on the auto ship purchase of silver coins is better; or the same amount spent on bottles of health and wellness juice?Fact: Health and Wellness Juice Will Cost You $1,200 A Year Based On the Monthly Auto ship Costs of $100One thing you need to be aware in this Numis network review is that health and wellness juices do not retain any value once you consumed it. It goes into the garbage. So you are actually losing $100 a month. On the other hand, your $100 a month spent on the purchase of Silver Eagle Numismatic coins with the Numis Network will not only retain value of your hard earn money, but increase over time.Just think about it. In one year from now, you will have $1,200 dollars worth of Silver Eagle coins whose value could either remain the same or increase in value. And if you need cash at that moment, you can easily run to your local silver coin dealer and sell it for cash. So from a network marketing standpoint, your monthly auto ship costs is not really an expense. It is more like a way of sheltering your valuable dollars.It amazes me to this day why many people would rather call a company like the Numis Network a scam instead of the typical health and wellness MLM companies that are costing you money on products that are not designed for the purpose of preserving the value of your hard earn dollars.Another Important Fact: $100 dollars One Year From Now Will Be Worth Less Than $100 dollars You Have TodayDo you see why it is important to protect the value of your money during these tough economic times? Warren Buffet have made a fortune in not only stock investments but also in gold and silver investments too. Gold and silver have been proven to be traditional hedges against inflation and any kind of economic uncertainty that causes the stock market to be incredibly volatile and unpredictable. Hopefully your review of the Numis Network is an optimistic one.Mind Boggling Fact: Gold Was Trading At $400 An Ounce Back In 2005 - Now It Is At $1,200 An Ounce At The Time Of This WritingIf you own any gold coins, gold jewelry, even scrap gold (like broken gold chains), it is worth a lot of money now. There are coin dealers in your area that are buying scrap gold for the spot price of gold. I know someone who told me that he recently got $800 for a broken gold chain that he mistakenly thought was worthless. I had to talk him out of it because I know about gold investments very well because I myself personally trade the Gold Futures Options market.Am I Saying That I Prefer The Numis Network Over The Health and Wellness Opportunity?The answer to that is no. I am just saying that if you are tight on your money, worried about job security, and being a victim of economic uncertainty, then the Numis Network MLM opportunity would be for you. Why? Because the value of the money spent on the monthly auto ship purchases of Silver Eagle Numismatic coins will be protected in the long haul.

Network Marketing - Should I Start a Network Marketing Business?

Are you thinking about dipping your toe into the Sea of Network Marketing? In 2009 and 2010, there have been a lot of people really looking at network marketing businesses. Having said that and talking to many network marketers, I have found some of the most basic questions are often not asked before getting started and then, once you commit and invest in your business, the skeletons come flying out of the closet.Now, I am not going to say that this is a complete list, because I could sit for hours interviewing the people wanting me to join their companies, and I could be interested, but most people would take my questions as challenges and they would feel I did not seriously want to get into their business. Now, for those people out there reading this, let me say please do not contact me about your business, because I have my own and I am very happy and I will not get into your business.Now, the reason you are considering a network marketing company is that someone must have shared an idea of a product that you thought was cool. Now, how quick did they stop talking about the product and said, our real product is to make money, and told you how much you could make? First of all, my question is, why did you contact me? Yes, it may be an in your face approach, but I look for honesty, If they say, because I saw that I could make a lot of money and I wanted to help you, it leads to two other questions.... So you want me to spend money and put it into your pocket? Or the second, why do you want me in your business, to get everyone I know to pad your pocket? When making money is the focus, I will tell you that is red flags to me and the only answer to the questions were yes, if not, they are lying to you!Now, if that person did not approach the money aspect with me first, but it was about the benefits the product could provide me, and it really was serious and genuine I will talk more with that person.The biggest lie someone will tell you when entering into a business is "the product is for everyone, who does not want to make money?". Now, once we talk about the product, I want to know the background of the company. Where and when did the company begin and what is the founders' background? Is the company in debt and beyond hope? What is the companies' competition? Competition is not bad, but that leads to why is your product better. I will never sell something that I know does not provide value to people.Once I know the product is good and provides a value and the company is good, that is where I will ask to see the compensation plan. Most uplines will tell you the person is not worth your time, because they ask too many questions, or they will say, I do not know how I make money but I am making really good money. Warning, Warning Will Robinson! Red flags are now fireworks. Some will avoid compensation questions. Now, if they tell you that you make a profit on all the items, and they are working with a traditional business and it is not a product they develop and they sell for someone else, know that you only make a percentage on the mark up. If they tell you that it is all about getting more people in and you make a percentage by (without them saying it) suckering people into the business to sell it, and the focus on getting reps into the business, you can pretty much discount everything they have said. I will tell you that in 100% of the companies I have worked with, you will not be paid on the actual company costs that register the business. Now, a lot of companies will add their products in a kit, and yes, you make money on those items only. What you will be compensated for is you getting a customer, and a rep can also be a customer, to take products off the company shelves and consume the products. No consumption of a product as a customer, you will always make ZERO!What I look for is someone to be upfront and honest with me. If they do not know, I will get you the answer is the best answer. I will not work for someone who is not honest. I want someone ethical like I am. Do you want to give someone your money you cannot trust? Remember, this interview or conversation with the company is your chance to interview them, and they are interviewing you (Actually, only question their interview contains is how you will be paying to get started.). Remember, not everyone is your customer and if they are not a customer, do them a favor and tell them that you know that the product is not for them and they have to be passionate about it, and you do not want them to feel you deceived them, when you are the rep they are talking to. If they still want to come in, they have no reason to get upset with you, because you told them it was not for them. But let us get back to you are the one being interviewed! Who is the team you will be working with? What are their qualifications? How has the product made a difference for them? Where will you get your contacts? If it is friends and family... run, because they are living in the 1960s. If they tell you they will sell you opportunity seeking leads, this is where they are talking to people the product may not help. You want to profile your customers and if they do not teach you how to do that, then you will need to get help from people that train network marketers.The last area of focus and we will wrap up, what is the training? Can you attend a couple? Now, what I watch is, is it a rah rah session of people saying they made money, or are they outlining proven and strategic plans you can use to build your business! Now, if they say talk to everyone, no they do not have vision. They should be talking about ways to target clients and how to get people who really want and need the product. How your product beats the competition, and facts you can build your business marketing plan around. If they do not have this, I would find someone who will be your mentor and trainer that does. If they work with many networking companies and they have results to share, I would add that to business tools and pay for your one and only employee to take the training. It is well worth it.Also, find an accountant that can save you money, but as you interview them, are they making the money you want to make. Find a legal advisor to advise you on when it comes to business. Find someone helping other small businesses.Yes, network marketing is a great industry, but it is an investment and a business that will require money and work. Yes you can be successful and limit the amount of time and money it takes, but you have to start now, making the best decisions you can as a business owner or prospective business owner.

Network Marketers Beware - Select a Company That Has a Good Foundation

About 2.5 months ago I joined a network marketing company who had great products. It was a product that I could really get behind and promote both online and offline. I noticed many high profile marketers and people promoting the business, so I thought it had to be the best opportunity ever. I was so excited that I started promoting it to everyone online. I used PPC, Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks to get the message out about this great new company with great products.About 20 day into my business, I was actively marketing the product online when a person asked me to send them the policies and procedures for the company. I sent them right away thinking that I had a great lead. They came back to me saying that they would not get involved because of the policies of the company. They stated they were not distributor friendly. Well, I thought all companies had similar policies so I just ignored the comment.Fast forward a month and I was introduced to a free e-book called 'success in 10 steps' which I read fully. When I came to the chapter about policies and procedures I decided to check out the ones that I had sent that lead. Well, I was shocked to see that the company had all the rights and me as a distributor had none. I contacted the company and they told me not to worry those policies were just there for problem distributors. I decided to cut back on my marketing and start looking for a better company; one that is more friendly to distributors.10 days later, I get a notice from the same company which stated they were no longer going to be an MLM company and were taking a different route and they were terminating my distribution contract. WOW, just think where I would be if I had continued to promote and bringing people into the business...where would I be now? Total amount spent on this opportunity $1500 with 100% wasted.Note to all marketers - Learn for this! Remember that any company that you get involved with must have a five pillars foundation as outlined in the 'success in 10 steps' ebook. Do not start building a business and putting your time and money into something that is not build on a stable foundation. Read the 'success in 10 steps', and read the policies and procedures. Do your due diligence and do not just think because other high profile people are involved that it must be good. In this case they too are looking for a new opportunity...hopefully they will choose a five pillar company this time.

How to Make Money Doing Nothing - The Secret is Revealed!

Want to make money doing nothing? It is easy as pie! Here are the 6 simple steps you need to take:1. Turn on your computer. It is easy to make money online...just turn open up your mac or PC.2. Go to Google.com. This is the site that makes everyone loads of cash.3. Get a snack. This is optional, but a sandwich might be nice.4. Sit there...or just take a nap. Your choice, but it is cool to make money while you sleep.5. Watch the money roll in. Check your email and go to the bank and see how thousands of dollars have magically appeared in your bank account. That was easy right? Now just repeat the process.6. Get a reality check.Seriously. It sounds funny, but everyday people turn to the internet believing that they can get rich fast. Unfortunately, this is not possible...and you can't make money doing nothing (unless of course you are a politician).People want to turn on their computers and get rich without having to do anything. And they get depressed when they find out that this is impossible. There are lots of scams out there to trick people into believing they can get rich overnight, but these are just scams that will rip you off and turn you away from the internet.The good news is that it is definitely possible to make money online. There are stay at home moms making a full time income online, and there are a select few who have been doing internet marketing for a while and are making thousands each day.The bad news is that you do have to work. There is no magic way to get rich overnight. You can make money online, but you need to put in some effort. You could make money with surveys, but you have to spend time filling them out. You could do freelance writing to get some extra cash, but you do need to write.The best option is affiliate marketing. It will take some time to learn how to do this, but it is worth it if you really are interested in making some money.Almost every online store (Walmart, Amazon, etc) has an affiliate program you can sign up for. But you will need some training to learn affiliate marketing techniques. These techniques are free so you don't need to spend any money to make some. All it takes is a few hours each week to start making some decent money online.

Multiple Streams of Income Or Outgo?

Many people recommend developing multiple streams of income. On the surface it sounds logical. If one income dries up, you have others to fall back on. Let's look at some options for how you could do this:
Join multiple MLM companies
Join one MLM and one or more affiliate programs
Join one MLM and have a traditional business on the side
The first choice seems the least logical to me although people often do it. This one raises all sorts of questions. If you have a prospective distributor which company do you recommend? You would need to figure out what is most important to them: product, income potential, entry cost? Also, how do you keep up with all of the information about each company, listen to all of the conference calls, attend all of the events, and still have time to build the businesses? If conflicts arise, which one do you put first? There may be some companies that don't have conference calls or events, but I would be leary of the legitimacy.With the second option, the idea is to use the affiliate program to generate leads for your MLM but make some money even on those who do not join. It normally starts with an offer of free generic training, but really gives just enough information to get the person hooked. Then they start getting offers for courses or books or systems that cost money. Every time they buy one, you get a commission, and they are usually offered one or more others. So while you are trying to contact each person to build a relationship, they are getting sales pitches and supposed to be buying products. The problems with this?
Are your costs covered?
Will you lose focus on your MLM?
Do the prospects trust you?
Is the education really useful and current?
To become an affiliate you had to buy at least one thing too, meaning you are also getting pitched more stuff. If you buy things as they come along, will your commissions from other people cover your cost? If you don't buy them, can you tell people with confidence (while trying to build a relationship) that the products are worth the cost? With an affiliate program you are selling something other than your MLM products or opportunity. Are you paying to advertise the affiliate links, and does your commission cover that too?If your costs are not covered, will you pay more attention to selling affiliate products than to your MLM? If the affiliate program becomes your primary business, does it create residual income?When people see affiliate programs advertised, they know they will get pitched at some point. The prospects will know you are making money on everything they buy. Also, do the products they buy do anything to brand YOU or just the inventor of the affiliate program? Will they really trust you and want to join your business? You must develop a know/like/trust relationship or they will not join you.Many of these programs are run by people who are not currently building a downline in a MLM company. In fact, some of them NEVER have! How useful is the training? How current is it? Does it teach you how to build in MLM, or does it only teach you how to drive traffic to capture pages to sell their product? Yes, I know you get contact information when someone buys, but does their program teach you what to do with those prospects?The last option for building multiple streams of income is to have a traditional business on the side. The issue here is, which business takes priority and will you lose focus on one? Perhaps if one business is running strong before you start the other, it will work. Some people say it does. On the other hand, I know two people who lost focus on the traditional business while trying to build the MLM and their traditional business suffered.I am a fan of being laser-focused on your business. I am working hard (although it is fun too) to brand myself and build my MLM. That is enough for me!

The Hard Truth on Genesis PURE

Genesis PURE is a new network marketing company that was created to offer the very best nutritional products in the world. The company claims that they will revolutionize the nutritional MLM industry through their system of "Cleanse, Balance, Build", their compensation plan, and the strength of their corporate officers. They pay out 55% commissions and offer up front earning potential through first order bonuses and retail sales designed to make distributors profitable quickly and pair that with a residual plan that will pay consistently over time (provided you can build up a network of distributors and customers.)All that is fine and good until you get to the truth on why they exist and why they chose the MLM business model. Almost EVERY network marketing company exists so that people can make money (distributors and owners.) MLM Companies try to spin in a million different ways. Each company has some great and noble reason for existing, just read Genesis PURE's website and you'll see what I mean, but in reality, network marketing is a very inexpensive method of distributing products with no advertising costs and no need to pay a sales force. For someone on the outside looking in this may be a little shocking. Even some seasoned network marketers may be a little taken aback by this, but it's the truth and it's NOT a bad thing.It's good for both the Genesis PURE and the distributors. The company saves a substantial amount of money and keeps its overhead low and distributors are able to set up a business with very low start up costs, no product research and development have an opportunity to earn a substantial income. The fact is that less than 3% of the people in this business will ever take the time to learn the skills and techniques to market themselves effectively. People need to learn how to market and promote themselves FIRST... Once you learn to do that, you will always be able to earn an income in this industry regardless of what company they are involved with.Genesis PURE reps will tell you that anyone can succeed with this company and building a huge sales organization will be easy because of how great an opportunity it is and how wonderful the products are. However, if you don't know how to put in front of right people... then you will never make any money with it. Follow the instructions below for more information on how to get your company in front of the right people on autopilot.

Advocare Training That Will Put You in the Company's Top 10 Business Owners

Advocare training can come in many leadership styles, but the only training that matters for you is the training that gets results when it comes to sponsoring and increasing product volume. Being in business since 1993 is frankly quite an achievement in the networking industry. With that in mind you would think that the company has taken an innovative approach with independent business owners as the marketing knowledge and tactics since that time have expanded greatly. Unfortunately, here like in many other companies that's not the case.I'm often reminded in networking just like in many other types of businesses how slow some things are to change and the Advocare Training component is no different. With seasoned leadership at the company and a product line that focuses on a very profitable niche like weight loss with the Slimpact Bundle, sponsoring your friends, family, neighbors and relatives are still the promoted method of choice and I cringe when I hear this. I cringe for the poor souls that become lost in the network marketing mantra of embarrassing tactics, weak posture and losing battles. There are so many other opportunities that are being missed with this mindset.Network marketing leadership isn't about position, it's about action and if you're going to take action...take meaningful action. Action that gets results. Action that's proven to work. Build a real business that has a foundation that would apply to building any network marketing business.Your Advocare Training Should consist of:1. Getting an endless supply of targeted leads for product sales and sponsoring.2. Selling the benefits of the product and company, not the features.3. Putting a marketing funnel system in place that does this in an automated way by leveraging the internet.4. Position yourself through a blog and social media using proven strategies.5. Rinse and repeat for other products or any business.The benefit that Advocare training can have if done right is that the target market of overweight people is an emotional buy. If people need results (benefits not features), give them testimonials. If they try the product and use it properly, they'll become a testimonial and a certain percentage will join the business. Leading with the product if it provides tangible results is a powerful way to build the business. In fact, those people will become advocates for the life changing results they got with the product.What about other Advocare Training?By having Advocare product users as advocates to increase your product volume and network marketers to build organizational stability and depth, you can solve the two biggest problems any network marketer faces.Question: How do you grow your organization in the fastest way possible?Answer: Sponsor other network marketers.Question: How?Answer: By learning the principles of Web 2.0 attraction marketing and social marketing on the internet to create a lead funnel system that generates scores of leads for you every single day.The question is now: Do you want your Advocare business to flounder, just get by or thrive?Yes, it takes time to learn about the process of leveraging the internet to build an Advocare business for long term growth. The fact is, there no better time to learn than right now because the tools and training available have never been better than they are right now. Get with the program. Build a system. Prosper to the top of your Advocare organization.
