How quickly can I start making money with Network Marketing?

Posted in Network Marketing Articles on September 17th, 2007

Many people who get into network marketing do so out of desperation.

A lot of those who join have found themselves in a situation where their only
option is to work from home – whether its because of family members who
need caring for, illness or personal disablitity of one sort or another.

It may be that they are out of work and can’t get more work because of age
or businesses closing down or just a dead end job or a horrible boss… there
are many reasons driving the need to work from home and many find that a
network marketing opportunity holds the most promise.

All too often however the opportunity is made out to be a lot easier and
simpler than it really is to make it happen. Many in fact find that they never
actually make a profit after months or years and eventually give up or jump to
another company that appears to offer that elusive dream of financial freedom.

The first thing to realise is that MLM or Network Marketing opportunities
though they offer a great way to build a long term residual income are
seldom a quick fix for your financial problems. You really need to have enough
cash to live on and cover your monthly expenses for at least 3-6 months if
not more.

For a fast start, using the internet for your marketing and promotion and main
communication medium is by far the most efficient way to grow your
business as you can get yourself in front of a world wide audience
relatively easily and cheaply.

The real question to ask yourself is not “How quickly can I start making
money?” but “How quickly can I put into action what I need to do to make
money?”

So what do you need to do to start making money fast with internet network
marketing?

Internet marketing has a whole skill set of its own which needs to be mastered
before any real success – ie:the “quit your day job” kind of success, can happen.

The education required though is readily accessible if you know where to look.

The first issue for a ‘newbie’ is sorting through the vast plethora of information
available. If you don’t have a ‘mentor’ or someone you can trust to guide you
through it the sheer volume of often conflicting and confusing information can
be mind boggling and overwhelming.

It can take years and thousands of dollars to sift through it by the trial-and-error approach which a large number of us seem to have adopted.

What you actually need is a ready made step by step program that will
enable you to learn just what is actually needed to get up and running as
soon as possible.

Once you have got started you need a learning path to follow that will enable
you to expand your knowledge in depth and breadth as the situation demands.

You see one of the biggest ‘dangers’ to try to avoid is the paralysis brought
on by information overload. Never getting going because there might be a
better or easier way in the next email, free report or hot new product.

The solution is “focus” – and knowing exactly what to focus on step by step
and then taking immediate action.

The aspiring network marketer wanting to use the internet to grow a
hugely successful long term business needs a powerful marketing system
that is easily duplicated and can provide a steady stream of fresh targeted leads and immediate cash income to cover your expenses and then some.

This marketing system needs to have four parts:
(a.) A product to sell that will bring in up-front cash and
(b.) A system for selling the product – a Mini-site with sales letter, credit card
facility and delivery system, thank you page.
(c.)A lead capturing opt-in form to gather names and emails.
(d.) An email follow up system to convert the leads into lifelong customers

Now, if you’ve been around on the internet awhile you may very well have the
skills and the time to set these things up for yourself but if your interested I can show you a great system already set up for you with all this and a heap more besides. For instance:

1. Step by step training and set up guide for every aspect including driving a boat load of free traffic to your ready made landing page and

2. Daily email followup letters written personally on your by an expert email marketer.

3. In depth adtracking with unlimited links you can load into every ad and email.

4. Ability to send your emails to everyone who signs into your optin page and promote anything you like to them

5. Detailed training in real world tactics and test examples with up to the minute results for pay-per-click Google ads, article marketing, ezine advertising, forum marketing in “The Ad Lab.”

6. Bonus video and audio training that will blow your socks off and bonus ebooks and product reviews and more being added every month.

7. Ready written ad copy and articles you can use immediately to help get you going plus ongoing article ideas you can adapt yourself added daily.

8. 50% affiliate commissions on sales of 3 separate but interelated products plus 50% commissions on the 2-level monthly memberships to provide ongoing residual income.

9. A support system that provides all the help and back-up you could possibly wish for and support staff who listen to your needs and will make changes in the system to improve things where necessary.

10. New products and enhancements being added constantly – the value being added just goes on and on.

Is Fear Driving Your Network Marketing Business?

Posted in Network Marketing Articles on September 17th, 2007

Do you get emails like this?

“…I ‘ve only got 4 people in my downline and nothing has happened for 3 weeks.
If I don’t get more people in soon the ones I have will drop out and go try
something else. Please help me to get more prospects so these ones don’t quit”

Can you see how this request is driven by fear? Do you know that feeling
yourself? It think it probably crosses everyones mind at some point until you
understand how to take control.

This is no way to run any business, based on fear that your customers might
change their minds. There will always be some who do for a thousand different
reasons which you have no control over. If you think this way you are doomed
to see the very thing you fear come to pass.

If your recruits want to have everything done for them and are not prepared to
learn the skills then they may not be the right people to be working with.
Some come into this business hoping that success will somehow just fall into
their lap like winning the lottery.

We all have our hopes and dreams and that is essential as they help to drive us
forward but we also need to understand how the network marketing business works.

As sponsors we each need to take the initiative and show our recruits what needs
to be done but if we try to do evrything for them its only natural for many of them
to sit back and let you do it but then complain or just quit when things don’t grow
for them.

As network marketers our task is to attract the right people who have the drive and
self belief to pick up what you have shown them and run with it.

You do this by showing them what you are doing but also letting them see your
own passion and enthusiasm. It is your passion that will inspire others to follow
in your footsteps.

So, how do you let others know who you are, what you do, and how you feel about
your business, what you’re passionate about? Only by the way you communicate
with them and one of the best ways to reach large numbers is through your writing
- emails, articles, press releases, forum posts etc.

If your prospects can catch your fire and understand the awesome power that
network marketing offers and begin to take the practical steps to emulate what
you are doing you will be unstoppable.

See here to find out how to get started writing and for a simple strategy to
guarantee that you never run out of leads and cash to ensure your business grows
like wild fire.

The Writers Life

Posted in Internet Marketing Articles on September 17th, 2007

Ellen, a lady on my email list who is very keen to learn the skills of Internet Network Marketing wrote to me yesterday. Here’s what she wrote:

Dear Warren,
I have trouble just putting an email together and every where I look I see that internet marketers are doing nothing but writing all day. There’s articles to write, blog posts to write, endless emails to write, ad copy, sales letters, newsletters. I don’t think I can do this, its all too much. Its like being back in school and I dread the thought of it. It takes me so long just to write an email! And I am always putting off doing the paper work for the business. I hate the thought of it. Is there any way around this?
Ellen

Its true an Internet marketers life is very much the life of a writer but writing is actually not as hard as you might think. Nevertheless there will always be a few like Ellen who find it too hard or taking too long. For those the best solution may be to hire ghost writers through sites like http://elance.com

In any new endeavour there is always a learning phase when at first everything is overwhelming and just a huge ‘soup’ of confusion. Given time and determination however things do eventually start to make sense. Its rather like being taken to a foreign country and having to learn a whole new language.

When I started out with learning the skills of Internet Marketing my worry was how was I ever going to find enough to write about? Or to put it another way, “How was I going to become knowledgeable enough to be able to offer anything of value?”

This is especially true in the early stages when the internet marketing scene all seems to be such a totally new and strange world with its own technical language full of three letter acronyms, so where do you start?

It all seems sooo confusing. You find there are so-called Gurus, the big shots who appear to be making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month and making outrageous claims about how you can be doing that too in a matter of minutes if you just first buy their product and their $500 a month mentoring program and you can have it all set up and running on auto-pilot and be off sunning yourself in the Caribbean with your laptop before you can say “Here’s my credit card”.

Well eventually, you find out that there’s an awful lot of hype and pure crapola being pushed at you. If you’re lucky you find this out before you waste too much time and money buying product after product and you learn to spot the real ones from the fakers.

You learn that, like any real world business, it takes work and effort and time and commitment and a huge amount of persistence.

And, like anything new, it seems extremely complex at first but it does eventually get manageable. When learning any new skill like how to drive a car or ride a surf board or how to ski, initially there is so much to think about all at once but once you learn the basic skills and through practice they become second nature to you, it all gets a lot easier.

So the trick is to get the basics down first before you attempt to run with the big dogs.

Well, with Network Marketing on the internet one of those basic skills is being able to write.
The Internet is all about Information and information means writing.
So where do I start?  What do I write about?…I don’t know anything!!

Well the other thing about the information on the internet is that it’s all about niches, specialised pockets of information. It’s a matter of finding those pockets you know something about or are willing to find out about. The trick is finding which pockets people will pay money for. The great thing is that people will pay money for just about anything you can thing of. Obviously some will be more lucrative than others.

[A great free resource for helping you find which niches are profitable and how to make use of them is the work of Charles Heflin at http://seo2020.com His work is right at the sharp end of research on SEO(Search engine optimization) and LSI(Latent semantic indexing) Googles latest twist in the search for better and better search results. Grab a free copy of The Plan to get you started - brilliant stuff!

For Network Marketers my suggestion for a good niche is to start with your chosen MLM Company.

Step 1: Read everything on the website, get your head around the compensation plan, the marketing material, all the benefits offered, all the cool features of its products…get really familiar with the whole deal so you know it inside out and upside down.

Step2: Start talking about it, your mlm company, to your partner or a friend or the mirror if no-one is listening.. explain to them how the compensation plan works, what the best products are and why, how the marketing works, what the sign up procedure is, how to get a fast start etc, etc

Once you have got your head around it yourself you will find that you can actually talk about it and explain how it all works..now you are ready for....

Step3: Start writing. Instead of talking to your partner try writing an email to them explaining what its all about.. write several emails each one explaining a different aspect.. Just keep it casual and write as if you are talking to your spouse or a close friend as if you were sitting in the lounge or in a café, or leaning on the bar down at your local pub.

Now guess what – each one of those emails is the basis of an article you can post to the article directories and start getting free leads to your landing page. You are on your way!

To get even more ideas ask yourself this question: “If [your mlm company] is the answer what are the questions? Or to put it another way” What are the problems that [your mlm company] is the solution too? Find the questions/problems and write an article about each one and finish up with your link to the landing page of your mlm business.

To find out more about simple ways to use your writing to create an endless stream of leads for your Network Marketing Business and also generate cash income of $5,000 to $10,000+ a month at the same time before anyone even joins your business within 30-60 days from now just click here for more info and start your ‘Writers Life’ writing on the net for profit.

10 Reasons I love Internet Marketing

Posted in Internet Marketing Articles on September 17th, 2007

Ten Cool Reasons Why I Love Internet Marketing


1. I love having the choice of where to work.
I can work wherever I want
- at home, at my favourite cafe, on a plane, in the airport lounge, a hotel
room, on holiday… wherever suits me today. Actually half the time I don’t
even need my laptop. If I’m writing an article or a blog post all I need is a
notebook and a pencil which I stuff in my back pocket while walking on the
beach.

2. I love the low over heads and expenses – basically just a $1300 laptop
and a broadband connection – dial up is possible but it’s just too tedious
for words. For convenience I have a fax and a printer/copier and I’m set.
Running expenses total about $150 a month! Thats for website hosting and
membership fees to my favourite Network Marketing company. My hosting
company has a great autoresponder system and adtracking built and all up
costs $25 a month.
3. I love the flexible hours – if the surf’s up I’m into it! Fantastic! If the kids
turn up for a visit I’m free. If I get an idea at 3.00 in the morning I sneek
accross to my desk flick the lamp on and start scribbling for an hour or two
then go back to bed again or slip outside for a run on the beach at dawn.
Awesome!

4. I love that there’s no more commuting – no more traffic jambs, no
more crawling along in bumper to bumper traffic, no more stress and
frustration at the wasted time, no more fuel bills and parking costs – yippee!

5. I love that I can wear whatever I like – depending on the mood or the
occasion or the weather. Not some corporate dress code dreamt up by
a committee of greying executives.

6. I love that I can be with family and friends when I want to – no more
missed birthdays or school shows, dance performances. If friends come
around or there’s a show to see I’m there.

7. I love that I can take holidays when it suits me.
I don’t have to wait for
my 4 weeks annual leave to be due.

8. I love the satisfaction of learning new stuff. Things that seemed a
complete mystery to me like website building, html coding, ftp, pay per click
advertising etc are now becoming second nature to me like driving a car.

9.I love being able to apply the new stuff I have learned
- like creating
great ad copy that persuades others to join me and buy my stuff or writing
articles to build the value of my websites and enhance my search engine
positioning.

10. And best of all I love the satisfaction of having no limits – No limits
on how much I can make. No salary cap, no glass ceiling to my promotion
and no age limit that tells me when I am no longer employable and should give
up gracefully and retire. Like Hell!

If this is the kind of thing that gets you excited but you’re not sure about how
best to go about it or what to do next, there is a simple and clear path with
step by step training and support to get you going and earning $5K plus a
month within 60 days from now working 2-3 hours a day at home with minimal
expenses. This is the same path I am using and you can find out about it
here.

Best of success

MLM Funded Proposals – Just Another Empty Promise Or The Answer To Your prayers?

Posted in MLM Funded Proposals on September 17th, 2007

Are you caught in the MLM trap? Money constantly going out and nothing coming in?

You are not alone!

This is the trap that 97% of all network marketers find themselves in and the reason they ultimately fail.

The cry I hear everyday…..
“If only I had some way of making some quick cash up front and a way of getting cheap leads who are actually interested in building an mlm business”

That’s it isn’t it? Money and Leads –that’s what it boils down to. If only…

OK–here’s where the MLM Funded Proposal idea steps in – supposedly the answer to your prayers… or is it?

For a start, what exactly is an “MLM Funded Proposal”?

MLM Funded Proposal defined

To put it simply, it’s the process of
1. selling an inexpensive but extremely useful and desirable information product to generate cash and
2. capture the names and emails of everyone who expresses an interest in it by requesting more information. These“interested people” are your leads, your “list”.

Sounds good doesn’t it? Its simple, easy to understand and sounds like its easy enough to do – but… how easy is it really, and… more importantly, does it work?

Well, actually it works brilliantly! If It’s done Right!

So… What do you need to do, to do it right?

The 4 things you must have in place for a Funded Proposal to work well and bring in a constant stream of cash and leads each and every month starting from now.

  • 1. A product– under $50 and highly desirable – must be relevant to the needs of mlm’ers. If it’s generic – ie relevant to the needs of all network marketers everywhere regardless of the actual mlm company they belong to then when you do your marketing you are casting a much bigger net.The product needs to be something that solves a problem common to network marketers.
    Something that makes things easier, simpler, faster. Things that save time and money and effort are always going to sell well.
  • 2. A system for selling the product.– This includes your marketing, designed to drive endless streams of ‘traffic’ (ie; eyeballs to look at your offer) both paid and free, a direct marketing style sales letter, a tracking system to monitor and analyze your marketing efforts and constantly improve them plus a system to handle the actual sale – the credit card purchaseand digital delivery
    of the product to the customer.
  • 3. A lead capture system – an optin form that visitors fill in to get more information. These people then become your ‘leads’, your ‘list’.
  • 4. A system for converting those leads into lifetime customers for your products and primary business. This includes email follow up, auto-responder set up,
    additional information products both free and paid for and training via video, web-conferencing, email courses etc.Now if you have the knowledge and experience you can no doubt collect everything you need from various sites on the net and put all this together yourself.but… if you are new to internet marketing or simply don’t have the time right now there is an easier solution.

    How about a readymade all in one package that has everything mentioned above and much more besides.

    That includes ready made products with 50% affiliate commissions built in for cash flow, lead capture system with autoresponder and ability for you to email your growing list at any time, but also with follow up emails written daily by the designer of the system to everyones leads on your behalf.

    Couple this with full step by step instructions on exactly how to implement the whole process plus upsell options for two different membership levels with huge bonuses which also pay monthly affiliate commissions and a full time support desk.

    Sounds too good to be true?
    Check it out for yourself right here.

    To your network marketing success

Zero Limits – The Secret Of The Universe

Posted in The Inner Game on September 17th, 2007

This is the most profound yet simple book on the meaning and purpose of existence I have ever read and I recommend it to everyone – “Zero Limits – The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace and More” written by Joe Vitale and Dr Ihaleakala Hew Len.

Zero Limits - Front Cover

Joe tells the story of how Dr Len healed an entire ward of criminally insane patients without actually treating them or even ’seeing’ them in any professional sense. Apparently all he did was look over their files and over a three year period every one of these dangerously insane patients was healed and released. When Joe asked him what was he doing exactly, when he looked at those patients’ files, Dr Len explained, ” I just kept saying, “I’m sorry” and “I love you” over and over again”.

Look up “Zero limits Joe Vitale” on Google and also “ho’oponopono Dr Hew Len” and read everything you can find then go and buy this astonishing book from Amazon.

While you are waiting for it to be delivered download an mp3 that Joe has made with the help of Pat O’Bryan providing background music…Joe simply repeats the 3 simple statements of the Ho’oponopono ‘prayer’ over and over to Pat’s beautiful background music – perfect for playing while you work on your computer.

Find out more on Joe’s website http://www.zerolimits.info/

Here’s a Squidoo lens devoted to Ho’oponopono which offers nother view point: http://www.squidoo.com/zero-limits-hooponopono/

Here’s some of the reviews taken from the back cover of “Zero Limits” -

Hosting For Your Website

Posted in Choose Website Hosting on September 17th, 2007

My personal choice for hosting is Thirdsphere

After spending many hours comparing different providers by laying out all the different features and benefits of each I narrowed it down to two: Kiosk.ws and Thirdsphere.

I made my final decision based on the fact that with thirdsphere, for the $25 p/mnth option, I can have unlimited domains (with a one off set up fee of $10 each) whereas with Kiosk I am limited to 8.

Both have unlimited subdomains. Kiosk offer larger bandwidth and webspace but I figured Thirdsphere was more than adequate at 500mb of web space and 30 gig of bandwidth per month.

As my plan was to have a large number of mini-sites for affiliate marketing and selling my own ebooks and the like I figured I was better off opting for the unlimited domains and also unlimited mySQL databases available with Thirdsphere.

Both companies offer a very good affiliate programme too which rewards you for referring others which is a great way to offset your monthly expenses.

Marketing and site building tools are excellent with both companies as is the support system so, very little difference there.

It all comes down to what your long term plans are and how much experience you have already. Both Thirdsphere and Kiosk have excellent tutorials and easy to use control panels suitable for beginners or experienced.

My advice is to have a good look at both plus any others you may have come accross, and there are new ones popping up all the time, but if you want to save some time and hassle my suggestion is to go for Thirdsphere as you are pretty much future proofed and they have excellent support and a huge array of free tools and scripts and a range of site building programs too to suit absolute beginner or highly experienced.

I have been using them for 3 years now and am very happy with my choice.
