Make Money, Be Rich

The world has never been with so much abundance than it has today. The one who talks of exhaustion of opportunities is a pessimist. The truth is that much awaits to be discovered than already has been.The lazy mind believes the negative news and resigns in defeat, the strong mind moves into action and creates wonders. Then the lazy mind awakens with an applause of a winner, tries to get into the race but again concludes that there is no use to continue running a won race and goes back to sleep. This cycle is repeated over and over again as long as the earth keeps rotating.Wake up! Start living!You want to be rich? Yes you can be. It is so simple.Think of this; How much money did you spend over the last week? Write it down on a piece of paper if possible. How easy was your spending? Basically it is just a matter of removing from your pocket and giving. This is done without much thought. I believe you were even smiling every time you gave.This was in exchange of a product or a service you got or needed and I guess you were satisfied with your spend. That is good.Take another perspective.Think seriously of how you had made the money that you finally spent. How much did you make last month? Are you able to improve on this? The answer is yes.A simple fact;The world is made up of more than 5 billion people.Imagine that someone had a very convincing simple product or service that pleases most of the population but only costing $1 (one dollar). With the same ease you spent money last week let it be so for everyone else. Everybody spends with ease. Imagine that it was you who had this product or service. If everyone used this service or product within one month from now, how long would it take you to be a billionaire?Another fact;By the time of print of this article, statistics showed that over 1.5billion people were already using the internet. If you had a product or service that would be associated in one way or the other to the internet, this shows that with a click of the mouse, your product or service can appear to such a huge audience each of them ready and willing to spend the first dollar on the next good thing that would please him or her, and you are just sitting there staring on the screen and doing nothing about it.Get into action. Think and act.Sometimes you never need to have a product of your own to sell. You can market other people's products. and make it big.

Winning in the Cash Flow Business Review

I wish I could say my review of Russ Dalbey's "Winning in the Cash Flow Business" came from investigating other people's experiences with the program. Unfortunately, I saw his infomercial in the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep, and, being in between jobs, thought "Wow! This sounds great! Russ is going to teach me the note business and I am going to get rich just like all the people in his infomercial!" I wish now I had just gone to bed.I grabbed my credit card and picked up the phone. When I called to order, suddenly the cost of program was more then double what the infomercial said (apparently that was just the first installment)- it was actually over 100$ including shipping! When I started to back off, I was told pay up front and save a whole payment-it ended up costing me 80+ odd dollars. I have heard people paying anywhere from just the first 39.95 payment- to 99.95 and all the way up to 300+ for the basic program. What you get are 3 thin paperback reports,and a couple CDs plus some "free fluff" that doesn't even begin to have enough information for you to truly learn note brokerage. That is because their "Gold Mine" is trying to "help" you figure out what the heck you are supposed to do, using their brief, yet confusing program.I quickly learned there is no limit on what you could spend trying to learn this program. I received so many emails and calls (up to 10 calls A DAY to my mobile phone!) asking me to upgrade to this, or join that to help me get note deals... I thought, "isn't that why I bought his course to begin with?!?" These "mentoring programs" ranged from hundreds of dollars to ten THOUSAND dollars. After about 10 days wasting my time trying to locate notes on my own, and not spending thousands on advertising and additional "helpful offers" from Russ I came to realize I had been hoodwinked by a proverbial "get rich quick" scam. The most promising offer I got was to PURCHASE a website from him to promote HIS cash flow business, and he said he'd pay 90$ each time I sent a referral that opted in to the program. Here is an actual quote from his email: "All I ask in return is that you tell your friends, family, neighbors-everyone you know, who you think can benefit from making extra money-to visit my Winning in the Cash Flow Business website."Wow. As if I would do that to my family and friends and neighbors! Try to get them to buy this awful program just to get 90$ from Russ. MY reputation, especially among those I care about, is worth more then that. The only person getting rich from this is Russ Dalbey. Please investigate this program if you are STILL interested- there's no end to the angry, hurt and disappointed comments from people who bought this course.In fact, some professional note brokers, have said that in many states you need special licensing to do what Russ says you can just do by getting his booklets. There is almost no truly usable material on free marketing included. The free ones are suggestions like contacting real estate agents, and hanging about in county courthouses searching for records of people who might have notes, then calling them out of the blue to ask questions about their possible need to sell. Big surprise, neither of these worked for me! Great time waster tho. If you want advice from Russ on how to do it, it's gonna cost you. From what I've seen from people who spent in some cases alarming amounts of money for training, it was a dubious investment. I didn't see ANY that said something like "After spending 3,000 dollars on that mentoring weekend, I came away richer, with a better grasp of what it takes to succeed in this business."In conclusion, I'd like to advise anyone looking for a legitimate home based business with a real chance to succeed and real quality mentoring, that also won't cost you an arm, a leg, and another arm (and maybe the other leg if they can get it from you) to look elsewhere. There ARE Home based businesses out there that can help you achieve your income dreams and goals.Some programs want you to succeed, because people around you succeed along with you, and because the people mentoring you have knowledge they are willing to just share with others.Russ Dalbey's program is not one of them.

Save your money for...Tool #3 - Autoresponder & web form builder. This is where you should invest a small part of your budget, and by small, I mean small (like $10-20/month).Don't, I repeat DON'T skimp on this tool and opt for using a "free" autoresponder.** It is critical that you have an automated way to follow up with your hot new prospects and stay in touch with your valued customers that is reliable and offers live help if you encounter a problem.Those are three of the most important, and easiest to use, tools that I (and those that I train) work with to create our own custom profit pulling capture pages and web sites. I hope this encourages you to get started and leave those old replicated company sites behind for good.

Why Do Intelligent People Join MLM?

Many people join MLM, but why? Many times the MLM industry has received less than favourable perceptions, mostly due to unscrupulous people who don't play by the rules and are out to con people into joining illegal ponzi & pyramid schemes. Mention 'MLM' and a large percentage of folks will have a cloud of scepticism descend on their mind.I'd like to ask you, do you think that anyone should join the Network Marketing industry?Briefly lets have a look at some numbers The large majority of society is working for someone else, building their employers empire and probably will do so until the age of 60-65, it seems that the average wage per person each year is around $36,000. Of course there are many people who earn more than this but I am just comparing averages here. Mostly you will be working 35 - 40 hours a week, maybe more in order to keep getting this money from your employer.If we look quickly at the MLM business model. There are many folks who by selling products and developing a team have created an ever growing residual income for themselves. The MLM company that I have partnered with, sells a product that offers incredible value to people's lives. When I have someone join my team as a customer I will then earn commissions of $45 each month. Let's say in a year working myself to the ground I was only able to make 100 sales, that's already $4,500 a month which adds up to $54,000 each year, so already I've gone past the average wage.Naturally I am not going to be content with that I would try for 200, 300 and more sales during the course of a year. But suppose that I recruited 100 people on my front line as distributors who I would earn an average of $15 from every sale that they made, that's another $1,500 a month. Then after that I earn 3% of everything that their distributors sell and this goes on 7 levels deep (the width of my organization is limitless). Now assume that you had a product that transforms people's lives and that the company wide retention rate is 93%.Are you seeing the possibilities here?Also take into consideration that you can now use the internet to build your business, given the technology that is now available. Given the fact that the internet offers us the chance to bring in leads all day long to your business, the power to build a residual income should not be ignored.Now I don't know of any other business model which has the power to build a residual income like this. To avoid giving the impression that MLM is some kind of quick fix money maker I have been conservative in my figures. Massive incomes can be developed but its a long term game plan. Some MLM marketers however are earning in excess of $10K each and every week. As an example my personal sponsor has made over $28K in just two weeks (and he did this from his beach home in Costa Rica) Starting with just a budget of $250 he has gone on to build his own empire over the last 9 months!.

Business Networking Online 101

After attending an online business course, you need to get in the game. Networking is the fast lane of your career track. Social media is quickly replacing the face-to-face business card exchanges and networking conferences of yore. Use social media and network with the luminaries in your field from the comfort of your own office. You'll find out fast how much social networking can improve your relationships.Pay special attention to these tips if you want to polish your profile and jump into networking online.Build a powerful profileYou know the saying "image is everything?" Well, the same holds true for your social media profiles. Look at each one through the eyes of someone who might be interested in working with you. Post a professional-looking headshot. Avoid racy images, photos of you inebriated from the last big party, and other "incriminating" shots. If you're using a career-focused networking site - write a specific headline that appears beneath your photo. As for interests, don't put things like "beer drinking," or "your mom." Put real hobbies and add a few that apply to your industry.Make your profile more personalDeveloping your profile is like developing a brand. Make it personal- many social media sites have the option to add your own artistic design. If you have a blog, make sure your social media sites use the same colors, images, and avatar. You're networking online and people need to know how to find you - make sure your contact information is correct and prominently placed.Be a friendYou have to be a friend to make a friend. Help out people on your account! If they need recommendations and you believe in the person's abilities - give them a recommendation. And add people to your friends' list. Start talking to people using your account. Start following groups that have the similar interests. Be involved in discussions and you'll start to get to know people in your field.Don't be lazyOne of the biggest mistakes people make when they use networking tools is only keeping up with their contacts when they're desperate for a job. Keep up with your social media profiles on a regular basis. This not only helps you network. It also helps you appear more authentic and natural. You don't want to blast your community with a job request when you never mention or speak to them otherwise.

Is My Harvest America a Rip-Off Or Best Home Based Business Ever?

Far be it from most to think that a business created on a kitchen table would become a major player in the network marketing arena. Fred Weih's original concepts which was driven by catalogs shoppers, became My Harvest America the future of grocery shopping.My Harvest America offers twice the product of the original catalog concept and is driven by online shoppers. In today's hustle and bustle this is a very convenient avenue for consumers to purchase their middle aisle grocery items. Free nationwide shipping on over 10,000 name brand items is a big turn for all who look to My Harvest America as an alternative to their local grocery stores.Now I am not sure about you but if Walmart paid me to send costumers their way I would make it a habit to use my gift of gab to do just that. My Harvest America offers a Loyalty program which allows shoppers to be compensated for helping friends and family save money on grocery bills.The $29.95 per month membership subscription is easily recouped in the savings one receives and then some. They also offer a $49.95 per month option which then qualifies you to earn even more for your efforts. In my opinion, and considering the amount of money my family and I spend on groceries every month, one could actually run this business without any out of pocket expense due to your savings.I feel that My Harvest America is a win win situation for everyone involved, but please do not be fooled, this is not a rich quick scheme. It will take hard work and determination to build a substantial income with this program. Do not come in thinking that in a months time you will be making 10k per month selling online groceries. It is possible but for an average person to become successful in network marketing it takes a couple of years to see this type of income provided they have a great system, training and mentor.Network Marketing is the greatest industry in the world but many people leave this field frustrated and broke because they just do not have the right people pointing them in the right direction. Many people fail to count the cost or do any type of research before they jump in, they are caught up in the hype and have eyes filled with dollar signs. It is great to have big dreams and goals but if you are not willing to stay focused when all the adrenalin wears off you have set yourself up for failure.Before you join My Harvest America or any other company for that matter be honest with yourself. Make certain you are willing to stick through the thick and the thin this industry has to offer. Ask Questions! See to it that your sponsor is willing to help you learn the ropes and has a system in place that anyone can follow. Doing this industry right has rewards that most people only dream of so look at it as a business and not a hobby.
