Network Marketing Success Secrets

So you're ready to make a fortune in network marketing?Well, my friend, you've definitely picked the right industry.Before network marketing, I was stuck at jobs where I punched a time clock full of hours with unfulfilled potential. I had to ask permission to spend time with my family or go on vacations.Fast forward to now. I play with my sons whenever I want. And believe me, they love to play.I'm able help my wife with our 2 month old baby. I have a 5 second commute from the kitchen to the office and I'm living a life of FREEDOM! I love it!Network marketing has the potential to give you whatever you want in life if you know how to build it right.Trust me, building a network marketing business isn't as easy as the corporate headquarters make it sound. I struggled for years before I finally figured out how to build my network marketing business to the point where I could retire from my job.I want to share a few tips that will help you get what you want out of your network marketing business.SUCCESS KEY #1 - LeadershipBefore you can start to achieve success in MLM you've got to have 2 things in place.1. Leadership2. Daily presentationsYou've got to be working with someone that has leadership. Someone that has vision and can communicate that vision to mass numbers of people through a daily presentation system.No one does anything without being influenced by someone that leadership. Every great project or enterprise in the history of the world has been based on this principle.Once your leader is place, you can focus on getting people to look at the message. Each new partner can focus on getting people to look at the message.If you have to wait for everyone on your team to become an expert, catch the vision and learn to communicate with passion, you're in for an extremely slow growth process.You only need 1 person that can communicate the message. Once you've got this in place, you can go to work.SUCCESS KEY #2 - Master The FundamentalsOnce you've got the leadership in place, the next part is easy.Learn to make friends and invite people to the message.Do this yourself every day, teach your team to do this every day, and watch your income explode.It's mathematically impossible for you not to be successful if enough people look at a convincing presentation by your leader. The law of averages says that a certain % of people will join.Michaal Jordan always said "Master the Fundamentals." In network marketing, the fundamentals are simple.1) Make New Friends Every Day2) Ask those friends if they are open to looking at a way to generate income outside of what they are currently doing.Pretty simple huh? That's why I LOVE this industry.SUCCESS KEY #3 - LeverageIf you want to become a master recruiter in your network marketing business, you'll need to implement leverage in your recruiting efforts.Leverage allows us to accomplish more with less in whatever goal we are out to achieve.If you are digging a ditch would you choose a shovel as your tool or a back hoe? The back hoe gives you leverage because you're able to get more done in a much shorter period of time.The top recruiters in network marketing use leverage in their recruiting to enroll 3 to 5 people per day with ease. They do this by using using the power of the internet. With the internet, you can make a video of yourself that plays your message 24/7 7 days a week. You can take that same video and turn it into 300 videos that are in essence, 300 miniature versions of you that are broadcasting your message over and over to thousands of people.This is leverage my friend and it's how the TOP income earners are able to recruit 3 to 10 people a day with ease.

iLearning Global Shut It's Doors I Was Shocked!

Yesterday evening I received an e-mail instructing me to get on an emergency webinar, not knowing what is was all about, I did and to my shock, I learned that iLearning Global had shut its doors on the network marketing side. I could not believe it; I sat there in total disbelief because I know people who had just made the decision to join the company and did.iLearning Global in my opinion was a company that people look for because its business model is personal development and if you are really into that this would have been perfect. We all know that in order for you to succeed in any business you have to develop yourself and this was the platform to do it.This has really saddened me because so many people who trusted their sponsors and believed in the company and the people who were making huge incomes like 5-6 figures a month have just had the rug pulled out from under them. Can you imagine, one day you have money coming in that you thought would keep coming and then next day it is all gone just like that?I do not know about you but I would be devastated as I am sure a lot of the reps in iLearning Global are today. Hopefully after the initial shock has worn off they can sit down and assess where they are and what they need to do. I hope that it does not put a bad taste in their mouth about the industry, because this truly is a great industry as a whole.What I would like to encourage the reps is to now, go out and do your due diligence, go research, talk to some top earners in other companies and find out what they recommend that you do. Look at other products and services that are proven in the industry, but do not rush into anything.See the problem is that a lot of people join companies that have just launched or that has only been around for no more than 18 months they do not look to see if the company has a strong foundation to survive and the hype that is surrounded by the momentum is what gets them involved. What happens is that the company shuts down because it can no longer pay out the money it promised with no warning and you are basically left out in the cold.I personally got caught up in the hype of another company that I am not going to name but luckily used what GOD gave me and came to my senses before I left my company that is one of the top companies in the industry. That company again that I will not name will fold very soon and I will be writing about that one as well.The main thing is that I want to convey is that there are a lot of great companies out there and a lot of not so great companies out there. Take your time, look at the comp plan, the management, the leadership and the niche of the company and ask yourself will this company be around it 2-5 years and possible longer, then decide to join.Lastly, it really does not matter what company you decide to get with in the end because you still have to recruit and sell the product or service and you need a system to help you get you new downline going if and when you start your new business.You need a system that can help you generate leads, help you learn how to market offline and online, help you leverage your time and to train your new reps the same way so that you all can make money. So if the rug ever gets pulled out from under you again, you will still be able to find another company and not worry about how you will build it all over again because you could not keep your downline intact.Stay the leader that your team trusted you in the first place and decided to join you by helping them generate as many leads and turn them into new recruits and customers immediately.

How to Generate Leads For Your Business

Lead generation has become imperative for business owners operating from home and using the internet as a medium for marketing. Getting internet traffic to your home based business site as well as turning traffic into customers or raising conversion rates is the primary requirement.Not only these two aspects, but also maintaining the leads can guarantee continuous profits in the long run and it is also imperative for the success of an online business.Track leadsDemand generation is a primary requirement of all online businesses and the best way to go about it is to use methods for tracking leads and measuring how much conversion is taking place at a given point of time. You would have to increase repeat sales, boost conversions and also increase traffic at the same time. Automatically, you would find your online business is being turned into a money spinner all the way.Your effort and time would go into making the available opportunities a real time success and based on these principles, your business can turn into a cash machine straight away.Lead dissemination can be adopted to know what exactly makes your business tick and gets traffic to your home page. Primarily, you need to take a long and hard look at the home page and also fine tune it to make it conform to proper standards.The thumb rule is 80-20 where efforts are 80 and 20 makes up the opportunities. For active lead generation to take place you have to identify sales funnel which could be surveying lost clients and re-establishing contacts with them, and making a real time analysis of all customers.You should also follow the trail of all those that come over to your website and make sure your home page has the necessary calls to action that can be easily spotted.Ramp up home pageIn this process, you can also get back lost customers and even turn casual visitors into real customers who pay and stick around to come back for the next round of purchases.Your home page should be ramped up as it is the primary face of your online business and if it is filled up with too many twitches and movements, the prospective customer can easily lose sight of the main product or service that you have set out to sell.The offer for lead generation to actively take place should be prominent. You need to put in a land based address and some active phone lines to bring in the much needed credibility for your online business.Most visitors are initially in two minds about buying online and get impressed when they know you offer an iron clad buy back guarantee which is important for lead generation.

Need Rapid Cash? A Home Based Business May Be Your Solution

In today's economy you need to be doing more then one thing to get ahead in life. The old days of just staying with one company for the rest of your life are gone. No longer can you just relay on there retirement plans. You need to look out first today, for no one will ever do it for you. Everyone wants to make what they call rapid cash in this hard pressed economy. But how can you make more money when your time is all but fully consumed with your "regular job"?Fortunately today the answer may lie in your own home-based business. Unlike conventional start up businesses, many established companies today enable folks to earn rapid cash - sometimes significant new income in just a few weeks.Usually start-up costs are minimal. And reputable companies no longer require new members to load up with inventory. Rather, today's home-based businesses require little more than customers referring other customers to the company's line of products and services. Accounting, inventory, shipping and payroll are all handled by the parent company. And the internet offers new representatives access to literally millions of potential customers for their company. Usually, the person who recruits these new folks - either directly or indirectly - also stands to benefit financially from the purchases and recruiting efforts of those they tell about the company's products and/or business opportunity.Besides the direct benefit of additional income, the tax laws in the United States also provide significant tax deductions for the use of one's home and car - as well as products they need to demonstrate their company's wares. To some, the tax benefits alone may be sufficient cause to have their own home-based business.So how do you find a great company? First you need to find a company that has been in business for at least five years. Next you need to find a company that has a reusable product. That can be reordered over and over causing you to make residual income. And you also need a great compensation plan that rewards people that work in the company. Because some network marketing companies pay people that work one time and then quit. If your up-line quits then you can no longer growth. Find a company the rewards growth. Find these things in a company and you will be able to make rapid cash. And help others make rapid cash for themselves.

MLM Success - You Cannot Expect a 5 Star Dish With Out-of-Date Ingredients

I can say with confidence that we have all experienced some top quality dishes at one point or another and they are to be savored?On the other side, we have probably all experienced dishes that fell well short of the mark with some of them possibly containing out of date ingredients well past their use by date.The consequences of out of date ingredients are not good. They can kill the dish and worse still can be extremely harmful to your own health.I do not think that anyone would disagree with the fact that ingredients past their used by date are no good for you.Why is it then that so many people continue to use out of date marketing initiatives in the development of their own business.It might not be a yummy cake or a succulent chicken dish but the ingredients that go into your business will determine the end result just like your 5 star dish. I've had numerous conversations over the last few days and the questions have all revolved around whats needed to be done to be successful in their MLM. After countless questions, it was evident that attitude was not the concern. What was blatantly clear however was that the marketing initiatives equaled little more than force feeding friends, cornering family and the frenzied placement of classified advertisements. My hat goes off to anyone and they get an A+ for effort and attitude. The missing ingredients were leadership and the ability to market or in fact.... even what to market.Just like out of date cream...The promotion of product and company as your major initiative is simply inviting a less than satisfactory result. As recent as yesterday I was receiving invitations to join the best opportunity available online with the best compensation plan and the best leaders you could ever hope for.Would you believe it? All 5 advertisements said exactly the same thing and they are all from different people peddling different products.My question is the same as everyone should be asking. What makes your opportunity any different to any of the others? The usual answer is the quality of the product, the start up chance, the huge pay out plan, the awesome leaders and the very little work for massive results.... If only I had a dollar for every sales pitch like this one! Sorry, but reality tells me you cannot all be the best so who do I believe?This may come as a shock to some of you but your product, compensation plan or even your company has little bearing on whether or not my interest has been peaked enough to look.!!People will join YOU... not your company, not your product or your services. It's all about YOUSales 101 will tell you that people will not buy from you unless they like you! Have you provided any reason what so ever for them to trust you? If you seriously care for people and you want to build an MLM fortune online you need to build it made of brick and not made of straw laced with out dated cream. Take advantage of the uniqueness that is you.It will be the one thing that nobody else can do. It will set you apart from the crowd.One of the first things I was taught was that..... People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care The secret is to listen, understand, empathize and build relationships. Make it real and provide solutions to problems. Set yourself up with a leader who can help provide you with the ingredients you'll need to make the most of your efforts. Put a marketing plan together based on time available, your budget and your required outcome. Follow it to the letter, put the bricks in place and enjoy the 5 star journey.Your journey starts now.

Bring Traffic to Your MLM Blog

If you want to generate more MLM leads, produce more cash-flow and sponsor more new reps in your internet marketing business, you need quality traffic to your MLM blog or website. Thus you want to follow some overlooked strategies to bring quality traffic in your blog. These are some described:1. When titling your blog, think of two audiences human visitors and the search website. Titles of your blog posts are also very important on-page factor from the viewpoint of improving your content for high rankings in Google. Also, title of your blog posts is the single most important traffic factors that make your reader or RSS subscribers click and read more.2. Always take part in relative MLM forums and net groups so that your participation causes the members of those sites visit your site also. The average visitor from forums or online group will be worth anywhere from 2 to 5 times an average visitor. Beside, while participating, you may also learn much new helpful information.3. Use multimedia contents for your MLM blog. Often, a text based blog is dull and visitors do not stay for long simply to read texts. So make your blog fascinating by adding pictures, charts, graphs, diagrams, mind maps, videos, slides and displays. Also highlight the primary contents of your blog with block quotes, bullet points, etc.4. Your contents should be primarily for your MLM target audience, not yourself. If you actually want returning traffic, you need to write about your MLM target audience write about their issues, wishes wants, what in it for them, why they should return to your internet site, try giving them tips and tricks while sharing your experiences.5. Know your competition and be amicable with their blogs and be a guest blogger in their site. In that way you may get to learn some methodologies you have not followed and also it will drive direct traffic to your own blog. You also get quality and important backlinks to your blog, which are one of the most important ranking factors for Google, Yahoo and MSN. Also, while posting in those blogs, include links of your blog in your post that are relevant to the post itself.Well these are some basic methodologies you want to follow to run your MLM blog successfully. If you are a young man with high ambitions, MLM blog could be a great start for you, as young entrepreneur blog are always fascinating to read as they mostly have new stuffs with new challenges.

Changing Horses in Mid-Stream

As I was reading chapter 7 of "Think And Grow Rich" today, which is about definite plans, an old phrase popped into my head. Believing as I do in the law of attraction, I knew it wasn't an accident so now I'm writing about it! I am sure you've heard the saying, "don't change horses in mid-stream." Is that always good advice? Two situations occur to me where you might just want or need to change.Napoleon Hill stresses in this chapter that when a plan isn't working, you need a new plan! I see so many people in network marketing sticking to suggestions from their sponsor or upline because they have been told, "the more Nos you get the closer you are to a Yes." Michael Dlouhy, author of "Success In 10 Steps," calls this the biggest lie in MLM! And I believe Mr. Hill would agree, based on what I read. If you keep hitting your head against a brick wall (my idea of hearing "No" hundreds of times) it just might be time to figure out how to target different people, or in a different way? Just thinking...I believe if Edison had not changed strategies a few times we would not have light bulbs today! So if what you are doing to grow your MLM business isn't working, it might be time to try something different.Now, the second situation is more controversial. Many people feel that out of loyalty you should never change companies. Certainly if you change frequently, you will lose respect from people and not get anyone to join you. But I believe certain circumstances warrant a change. Some religions tell you that divorce is out of the question, yet I believe that when any type of mental or physical abuse arises, or when a partner develops dangerous substance abuse problems, it warrants saving yourself. Here are some of the situations which I believe could warrant looking for a new opportunity:
The company goes public
You read your policies and procedures (or they are modified) and discover things which are not in your favor
Your compensation plan changes and it is not in your favor
There is a shake up at the top and you no longer can trust the people running the company
The company files for bankruptcy
You discover that your upline has been lying to you, or has not acted in your best interest
You discover that the company is in any way illegal
You might question the first bullet. My reasoning is that public companies always answer to stock holders first. Of course, there can be unscrupulous people at the top of private companies as well. But at least you can check them out in advance and normally don't need to worry that they'll be "voted out." And you don't need to worry about stockholders causing changes for their profit that are not in your best interest. Remember, as a distributor you are not even an employee; you are an independent contractor.In most business dealings, if you discover that you are likely to lose everything it is considered advisable to cut your losses and move on. I consider the remaining points to fall into this category. Certain clauses in policies and procedures foretell the company terminating you for any reason they want, shutting down, or changing to retail channels. Any of these of course mean your business is gone (maybe overnight!) Compensation plan changes can severely cut your income. Changes at the top can cause policy changes or compensation changes.I also believe you must be able to trust your business partners and that discovery of unethical behaviour is grounds for finding new partners!Remember, you are talking about your future here. If your MLM opportunity is your retirement plan, your intended income for the rest of your life, you need to protect yourself! Look at it with a critical eye and be sure you are in the right place.

Rain Nutrition - Should This Opportunity Make You Sit Up and Listen?

What is Rain Nutrition?Rain Nutrition, which began operations officially in 2009, is an MLM company involved in the distribution and sales of energy drinks. These health drinks were formulated by a medical professional, Dr. Arnold Leonardo. Dr. Leonardo is one of the trusted names in the health drink industry and has had years of experience dealing with wellness, general health and nutrition products.The products sold by Rain Nutrition are plant-based concoctions featuring extracts from herbs and fruits. Their main selling point is the high amounts of antioxidants they contain, a formula designed to ensure optimum wellness if products are ingested regularly.There are 4 main product lines from Rain Nutrition, namely: Soul, Rush, Storm and Pure. Pure is a probiotic drink supplement, which is purported to help boost the immune system and fight infection.It's all in the juice?The one challenge that's facing new members of RN is its marketing training. The company uses old methods of lead generation, selling and recruitment, advising members to tap their warm leads. This may be effective to people who already have experience and contacts in MLM but for those who just entered the field, this method is simply not helpful. No matter how terrific the products are, distributors may not always get the response they need from their market.Is it a legitimate company?RN is a legitimate company but as with all types of business opportunities in MLM, it is only as good as its distributors. Without the necessary skills to sell and market, members and distributors won't experience much success in their efforts. Rain Nutrition's products, as excellent as they are, will be competing against other similar products, many of which may have the same selling point and many more that may already have a strong hold in the market.If Rain Nutrition sounds like an excellent opportunity for earning an income to you, learn what you can about the company, its products and the type of marketing it uses. It has to fit your personality and business style; otherwise, you will find it difficult to launch your own venture. Learn to find the right target market for these products to sustain demand so you can enjoy the results of your hard work over the long term.

Delivering Valuable Content in Network Marketing

Are you delivering value in your network marketing business? The current buzz word in network marketing is value, in website content, in online and offline products and in services. But as important as it is, some businesses and online marketers don't yet believe it, or if they do, they don't yet practice it. Even while businesses deliver value through their product and services, they should also add value through their online content. Whether via social media, websites, video or emails, content should include delivering value.Deliver value through your marketing websitesCompanies define website "value" differently, but in all cases value is in the eye of the reader. All content created by your company should meet the wants of the people you are targeting and should be aligned with your strategy for developing a relationship. Good relationships convert visitors to buyers and buyers to fans. The key is to identify your target demographic audience and speak to them based on their needs and concerns. If you satisfy their need, they will remain your loyal followers.Creating content for the search engines is an effective strategy for achieving higher rankings; however, content created only for the search engines does not satisfy the needs of the people - and in some cases is actually unreadable. If search engine optimization defines your only reason to publish online content, you will fail to engage your customers. You may successfully reach the first page of Google, but if people cannot connect with your web copy they will not remain on your website. First page rankings are worthless if your large amount of visitors do not convert into buyers and fans. The ultimate goal of your business is sales and growth, not search engine rankings.Measure the Results of your marketing websitesAs part of your content efforts, you should also review pertinent analytics data on a regular basis to determine which strategies are most successful. From your data you can extract which content methods convert into sales and tweak those that don't produce buyers. In order to keep your finger on the pulse of your readers, you must be flexible in testing and revising new methods and content based on your research. Although analytics do not automatically create valuable content, it is directly related to the process of generating value to your readers. If you are willing to test, you will improve your success rate as you change and evaluate your website content with the customer as your main priority.The challenge of creating and delivering valuable content could be impeding your business success. Just having a business and hanging out a sign is not delivering value. And "value" is not a buzz word, it is a proven and enduring concept - an altruism of successful business. Being a part of a successful business and a reputable business mastermind team is an effective way to gain the skills and learn the techniques that will enable you to deliver value in products and services.

Trump Network Review - What is Donald Trump Really Up To?

Will Donald Trump's involvement in the network marketing industry put to rest all the rumors that the network marketing industry as a whole is a scam? That all depends how many people trust the credibility of Donald Trump based on his well known reputation as a billionaire real estate investor who have literally helped thousands of others achieve success in the field of investments. Donald's recent investment in his very own MLM company called The Trump Network back in 2009 really has taken the industry by surprise. He was remarkably memorable for his statement on national TV where he was quoted as saying that if he can do it all over again in his early days as an investor, he would do it in network marketing.Why Would Donald Trump Put All Of His Eggs In One Basket - The Network Marketing Industry?Donald Trump is well known as a successful investor. As an investor, he places a tremendous amount of value on his time. And the rate of return on his investment money is calculated against the value of time.Many ordinary people are not aware that network marketing is one of the most lucrative and rewarding businesses in the entire world. You only work hard for a few months or years and retire on the efforts of others who you mentor and develop into successful business leaders in the industry. And the cost of getting involved in this industry is pennies compared what it costs to start a brick and mortal business with overhead costs, employees, rent, utilities, taxes and etc.Many people have a hard time grasping this return on investment principle. In network marketing, you are probably spending at most $100 a month in product auto ship and possibly $100 a month extra on marketing training which includes advertising, lead generation, and relationship building. So that is only $200 a month. In one year, it will only cost you roughly $2,400 a year. Now compare that to the cost of running a brick and mortal business where the costs are about thousand times more than what you are paying.The Right Network Marketing Business Along With The Right Leadership Can Actually Put You In Profit Within 1 YearUsing the example from above, you can reasonably earn about $2,000 in monthly residual income within one year if you work smart and apply the proper marketing strategies in place. So from a return on investment standpoint, your rate of return would be astronomical compared to your stock market investments. Just think about it. A monthly $200 ($2,400 annually) investment can result in an annual residual income of $24,000. It continues to boggle my mind that ordinary people still do not to find this financial principle incredibly fascinating.Let's say you are a professional gambler and you had a monthly budget of $200 on betting expenses. Ask yourself this question. When was the last time you put $200 down on a bet in Las Vegas and walked away with $24,000 in annual residual income for life. It never happens in the betting world.Donald Trump Invests In Assets - Not In LiabilitiesDonald started the Trump Network MLM company because he had already assessed the tremendous potential for an astronomical return on his investment in the booming health and wellness industry. Donald has already carved out a profitable niche market for himself by branding his name. Now he plans to do it in the network marketing arena after building up so much credibility and trust by saying so many good things about the industry in general, leading up to his very first purchase of an actual MLM company that he can hold onto for life.

3 Easy Steps to Affiliate Marketing SEO

AdWords has really changed the way people are marketing in the last 3 months or so making it extremely impossible for anyone to use replicated websites. As a result, people are choosing affiliate marketing SEO to generate leads. You cannot optimize content on most affiliate sales pages since you don't have control over the content, so you have to go about it in a roundabout way. It's not as quick or targeted as PPC, but it can be just as effective.The first step is to identify different groups of people that might benefit from the products you are marketing and brainstorm various keywords and keyword phrases that they would regularly search for. Use Google's keyword tool to estimate traffic and competition. Avoid affiliate marketing SEO for terms that have less than 1000 searches per month. What good is optimizing for keywords that never get searched, right? Also try to avoid terms that have high rates of competition. The lower the competition, the easier it will be to get your content ranked highly.The next step is to write your articles. Keep your articles between 350 and 500 words (shorter is better) and use your key word phrase once every 80-100 words. Add a good resource box and include your affiliate link so that people can find your site. Submit the article first to EzineArticles.com (it's the most popular) and then 4 other highly trafficked article directories. Include a back link to your EzineArticles.com article in the 4 you submit to other directories for affiliate marketing SEO purposes.The third step is to create more back links using different social networking and social media sites. Comment in 5 (or more if you have time) different forums and include the link to your EzineArticles.com article. Post the link on your Facebook page and send it out via Twitter. The more back links to your article the better it looks to Google, so spend a little time each day creating a few back links for affiliate marketing SEO and you will have articles that drive traffic and generate leads for you forever.
