  • Is Network Marketing (aka Multi Level Marketing or MLM) the Right Business For You? – Part II

    In Part I of this article, I raised the question of whether or not the entrepreneurial path is right for you. After all, not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. I also gave you some food for thought to help you determine if perhaps a network marketing business is an option worthy of your consideration. At this point, an assumption is being made that you’ve read part I and have determined that you do have the entrepreneurial spirit and you’re interested in network marketing. So, with that said, let’s go ahead and dig a little deeper, shall we?

    Firstly, are you a people person? Network marketing is a true “people helping people” business and this is a good thing. When you’re working with, and helping others, you’re essentially helping them to solve their problems. And, many people who win in business are successful because they’re great problem solvers. Think about it, on a grand scale, Bill Gates is one of the world’s wealthiest people because his company creates software to help people and businesses solve problems. On a smaller, localized scale, think of the successful restaurant known for good quality, inexpensive food. Their success stems from helping mom and dad solve the “what’s for dinner” dilemma.

    One more thing worthy of mention on this people helping people concept: it’s been said that a certain path to getting everything in life you want is to help enough other people get what they want in life. The more people you help, the better your chances of realizing the success you seek.

    Are you coachable? This may be the most important question you’ll need to answer to determine if MLM is the right business for you. Let me explain: most people who get involved with network marketing (aka MLM, multi level marketing or social marketing) do not have any kind of a meaningful business background. Operating a successful business requires a number of crucial business skills. These skills include effective communication, organization and most of all, marketing.

    If you do not possess these skills that’s OK. As long as you’re open to working with your upline people to develop yourself as a business person you’ll be fine. Some people think they already know everything and their way is the best way or the only way. If that person is you then there’s a good chance network marketing is not for you. Building a successful MLM business requires some outside the box thinking so being able to accept instruction from those more experienced is important.

    Are you thorough? Anything done half fast is never good enough in business. If you get involved in a business and you’re provided with a plan and directions from your upline then it’s up to you to follow through with those plans. Cutting corners and weak efforts on your part will not fly. As it’s been said; in business, “good enough” is never good enough.

    Of course, who you choose to work with to start a network marketing business is critical. If you’ll be taking business coaching and business plans from somebody else, you better darn well make sure that person knows their stuff. You can read books and study courses on building the skills you’ll need to succeed in business and I highly recommend that you do. But, your upline sponsor should be the person you wish to become.

    There’s no doubt that working with the right people to build a network marketing business is of the utmost importance. However, your success is your responsibility. To succeed, you’ll need to think like a business person, act like a business person and conduct yourself in every way like a true business person. If you treat your network marketing business like a hobby it will lead to frustration and eventually failure. If you treat it like the legitimate business that it is, then you’ll be giving yourself a great chance of succeeding. Note I said “giving yourself a great chance”. Nobody will build your business for you. They’ll help you, oh yes they will, but they’re not going to do the required work for you. That, my friend, is up to you. Are you ready for the challenge?

    This is the fourth in a series of articles on the MLM / social marketing / network marketing industry. In the next article I’ll give you some ideas on what you’d want to look for in the person or people you choose to do business with. Your business partners, on many levels, are even more important than the business you get involved in.

    If you’d like to ensure that you don’t miss out on any installments in this series, I’d be happy to send past and future articles directly to you. Just shoot me an email and I’ll include you on my direct distribution list.

There are a number of work-from-home options this group of individuals can consider to earn an attractive salary to add on to the family income. Finding a good part time home-based job enables the woman to be able to make a living while being able to spend time with her family. All it takes is dedication and drive for one to become a part time business entrepreneur. One possibility a potential work from home mom could explore would be to start a crèche or day care centre. This way, if she is already dealing with a new born or toddler, she gets to merge her natural chores with a profession and the baby or toddler gets friends who visit every day! Another work from home job opportunity is tutoring. If you are genuinely good at teaching a particular subject or a combination of subjects, you could address the educational needs of children in the vicinity by providing them with a good tuition teacher. With your effective communication and social networking skills in place, many opportunities exist.

    With the advent of internet technology and various communication devices, many possibilities exist to enable home-bound mothers to earn a salary while balancing the needs of their family. A work from home job opportunity addresses the needs of women who look for home-based employment flexible enough for them to be able to walk away when their baby is crying or when a physically handicapped family member requires immediate assistance and attention. A work from home job enables these moms to hold jobs that can be done throughout the day, at their own pace. If you are internet savvy, then a good work from home job opportunity is internet marketing. A little research on the company helps and you get to earn with every click that converts into a sale.

  • Become a Killer MLM Article Marketer Part 2 – Submit Your Article

    Being a killer MLM article marketer is all about having a serious presence on the internet, and developing a strong internet presence is all about article submissions. We told you in Part 1 of this series how to write a great article and now we’re going to tell you how to submit your articles so that your prospects will be able to easily find you.

    First, you’ll have to find the right article directories, the ones with the most traffic so that you can reach the greatest number of prospects. Most successful MLM article marketers agree that submitting each article to the to 5 or 10 directories is sufficient to get good traffic. To find listings of the best article directories, just Google “top 10 article directories.” This will pull up listings that give you the article directories with the highest traffic or rankings. Once you narrow the list down to the top 5 or 10 best suited for your articles, go to each one and sign up for an author account. You’ll be required to create a profile for each so set aside a little extra time for this step.

    Once you’ve created all your accounts in your targeted article directories, all you have to do is submit your articles on a regular basis. Here are a few tips that pro article marketers use to help make the process easier and help their articles turn out better.

    1) Preparation: Gather up 3 or 4 articles to submit at once. This will save you time. Before you begin the submission process, make sure you have a keyword-dense title, list of keywords, short description, and resource box (a short blurb about you and your contact information, including your website address) written for each article ahead of time. Most article marketers have these in a spreadsheet or text document from which they can easily copy and paste. This will save you a lot of time.

    2) Resource Boxes: Some article directories will have a separate field for your resource box and others will not. For the directories that do not offer a resource box, be sure to include your resource box information at the end of your article, separated by some spaces or some characters, like a bunch of plus signs in a row.

    3) Links: Many article directories will accept affiliate links (that is, links that have anything after the main domain name). If you want to direct prospects to an affiliate link, do what pro article marketers do. Go to a domain name service like GoDaddy and buy a relevant domain name, such as health4you dot com, and have it forwarded to your affiliate link. Then just list the domain name you bought from GoDaddy in your resource box instead of your affiliate link.

    4) Text Cleaning Software: If you use a word processing program to write you articles chances are that the text of your article will contain special characters, like smart quotes (the quotes that curve inward rather than being perfectly vertical) or em dashes (the super long dashes). The bad news is that these will show up as funny characters on the internet and nothing makes you look like less of a pro article marketer than having that kind of junk in your article. To avoid this problem download any free text cleaning software. We use one called textsoap. Clean your article of smart quotes and em dashes, then save the article in text format. When you go to submit your article, make sure you submit the “cleaned” version of it. To double check your work, preview your article before submitting it. Most article directories give you this option during the submission process.

    Follow these simple tips developed by the best article marketers in the world and you’ll do just great submitting your articles. If you develop a regular schedule for writing and submitting your articles the process will  be even easier. You’ll be a pro before you know it!

  • Internet Marketing Strategies For Explosive Network Marketing Online- Part 1: Residual Income

    I am an Online Marketing Consultant who specializes in helping any network marketer, marketing any network marketing company, to succeed and allow them to climb to the top of whatever company or business they are marketing.

    I’ve put together for you a short 5 article mini-series that is going to explain to you the top 5 internet marketing strategies that will allow you and any other serious network marketer to climb to the top of your business and join the ranks of the top earners across the industry.

    In my first article, I am going to start with discussing residual income & solving cashflow problems.

    Residual income is key to wealth building, and network marketing is an excellent tool for this, as financial experts like Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad) will tell you. You work hard at something for a while now, so that tomorrow you will be getting constant income from the efforts you are putting in today.

    The idea of residual income is the most appealing thing about network marketing. People like you and me come to the network marketing industry so we can ideally build a business and work like crazy for 5 years or so, and walk away with a 5 figure residual income check every single month for the rest of our lives.

    I want to to show you how to do that in the most effective way possible. I want to show you the kind of program and strategies you should have in place if you are serious about attaining that type of residual income for years and years to come.

    Did you know for those who really want to work at this business, 95% of all people who stay with their network marketing company for 10 years will reach the highest level of their company’s compensation plan, which is usually at least $500,000 annually?

    Unfortunately, the number one reason why most people fail at network marketing is that they run out of money before their residual network marketing income begins to really kick in.

    So, the question is, how to you get to the point where you can live off of or retire on your network marketing company’s residual income compensation.

    I don’t know any business that can survive without solid cash flow coming back in. If you don’t have that, you are out of business.

    So, to survive in network marketing, you need is to have a cash flow program in place that is going to quickly pay you hundreds or thousands of dollars each and every week.

    This is the upfront cash flow that is going to start allowing you to make some serious money. Money that you can throw right back into your business so you can start creating that huge huge empire that you are here to build if you are serious about network marketing.

    You can’t wait for that small residual check to show up next month. You need to be online marketing, and having the cash flow coming in today so you can pay the bills, put food on the table, pay the mortgage, and most importantly so you can build your business.

    You got to have cash flow coming in now. Unless you market in this fashion you will go broke long before you collect those serious residual checks years down the line.

    And I have some ideas for you. I want to give you access to the most powerful cash flow program for network marketers on the planet. What I’m offering here isn’t optional, its essential if you’re serious about this industry and your business.

    I’ll give you more information in Part 2 of my Internet Marketing Strategy for Explosive Network Marketing Online series– Lead Generation & List building.
