Most people are sold on a particular MLM business opportunity. They get invited to a meeting and there is a lot of pressure to join that business. They always seem to have good closer’s that can make you feel very guilty if you don’t sign up at that moment. Another very common way is for a friend,Family member,or neighbor who is usually new in the business and was told by his or her sponsor to make a list of everyone they know and call them and get them into the business. There is also other methods such as door knocking and cold calling and going to malls etc. These methods is now considered by very many “Old School”.
The above methods are the way I did MLM marketing for a number of years with very limited success. Then I found Internet marketing. I changed company’s and dove in not really knowing anything about it. I spent hours and a lot of money I didn’t have, The results were not near what I expected or hoped fore I did a lot of research and I talked with a lot of Internet marketers that were having good success.
What was I doing wrong?? Two things 1. I wasn’t totally sold on the product I was trying to sell  2. I wasn’t using any kind of a system I was just going wily nilly a little here and a little there.
I kept my eyes open for a person I thought would be good to work with and found one She was doing very well and was always available to answer questions. We had started out about the same time but she had a lot better information from her sponsor and she also changed companies and it was one I could be passionate about.
I joined the same company with her as my sponsor and with her helping me things changed quickly 1. I had a product that I loved and 2. I had a coach that introduced me to a company that specialized in Attraction Marketing WOW what a difference a little tweaking can do.She is always there for any help I need along the way. We also have a very successful team and it is no looking back for me.
All that to say look for someone that is active and successful or active enough that you don’t have any doubts they will be there for the long haul. I personally think you need to commit at least one year and work consistently and stay focused plus have a product that you truly believe in probably not one that there is a few hundred others product that are practically the same thing and get into the my product work better than your product That is hard to win.

Okay, you’ve got leads coming in. Great. Now, what do you do with your leads? Well, first let’s begin with what doesn’t work….and this again, goes counter to probably everything you’ve learned about network marketing. But we’re done with all the old, outdated ways of prospecting aren’t we? Aren’t we done trying to chase people to join our businesses? Aren’t we ready to have them chase us? If you’re reading this right now, I’ll assume yes.

So, what you don’t want to do is start calling them up and trying to convince them to join your opportunity. What we don’t want to do is spam them with emails trying to convince them to join your opportunity. Most times, this will only get you the eye glaze – that hazy, glazed look on a prospect’s face when they feel someones trying to “sell” them something. Or the “I’m not interested” hangup, or worse yet, the “delete” button in their email.

Now let’s talk about what works. “But wait,I’ve gotten people into my business doing those things…what’s wrong with that?” Nothing. And, if you’re content to have people trickle into your downline once in a while after you spend all your energy chasing and hunting them down and don’t have the desire to kick your business up to the next stratosphere of income, then go with It. You can stop reading now.

If, however, you’re ready to take action and expand your mind and your business, let’s get started. Really it all begins with you. You’ve got to provide something of value to your list beyond an “opportunity” before they’re going to pay attention to you, to trust you, to listen to what you say…and ultimately to join your team. You need to provide the valuable tools and information that you’ve accumulated throughout your experience in network marketing (however long or short that experience is) in order to be someone to whom they will listen.

Now at the is point some of you newer marketers are wondering “What value can I have to offer other marketers?…I just started”. Well, you know more than you think. Just by reading this article and opening your mind to new ideas about how to market, you already know more than 95% of marketers out there who are all doing what you USED TO do. The more personal development you do (books, webinars, trainings) the more you have to offer. Find a unique way to communicate those things to your list and they will come to not only read your emails and take your calls, but look forward to them.

The MLM Business Has Nothing To Do With Your Company !

It took me a long time to figure this out, Network Marketing isn’t what it seems. It turns out that our products and services are not really our true product.
We really aren’t here to sell Vitamins and Long Distance service. We are not here to get people into “The Business”
Fact is here is a list of everything that Does Not Matter
“My product is Better than yours”
“My Product has a higher ORAC value that the others”
“My Product has a Patent”
“My Product is cheaper”
“My product has every Vitamin and Mineral under the sun”
“My product was produced in the Virgin Rain Forests of the Amazon”
All that matters is that your product holds real value and provides a real value and is provides solution to the
end consumer. That is the necessary ingredient for long term success.
Stop worrying about the price point of your MLM”s product,and stop worrying if there is too much “Competition”
There is NONE!
Why?
Your business is marketing. He that markets and promotes best, WINS….
In Reality,your product is the marketing system you use,and the people that come out the other side as leadersand or customers. People didn’t buy a McDonald’s to sell cheap hamburgers they bought a standardized system that could consistently put out the same taste and quality each and every time, and to make money doing it. McDonald’s had perfected the system better than anyone else. Ray Kroc McDonalds owner sold a money making restaurant system in a box to franchisers, and the system produced the retail product to the customers.
Just what is a system anyway?? When boiled down to it’s basic elements a system is nothing more than a standardized set of tools and instructions to produce predictable results time after time after time.
What is your Job then Market a system to distributors that retails the company products Teach you leadership skills to help new distributors become successful and to profit quickly. This will allow the new Distributors to be more effective and sell more products to future Distributors.
Once you have found at least five Distributors that become “Network Marketing Leaders” you will be on your way to financial freedom.   “” YA HOO”"

Not Happy With The Way Your Retirement is Shaping Up ??

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010 at 1:55 am

If you are concerned about your retirement and are at a loss of what to do There is good reason
1. The economy is looking very fragile and it is making a bright future looking dim
2. A lot of people have lost a lot of their portfolio and need to supplement it.
3. You are unemployed or just don’t have money for retirement
What is a person to do? There isn’t enough time to change careers and get a better Job with better benefits;   Or is there ??
How about one you can start part time and work it into a full time and work less hours than you are working now ?  There is no limit to the amount of income you can earn and there is even residual income.
But how?? Sound too good to be true ??  Maybe Not.
The fastest growing industry in the U.S. today is the Internet Marketing Business, mainly for the reasons I mentioned above. True, there are a lot on nay slayers but Internet Marketing is at it’s all time high. There are people making more in a month than most people make in a year it isn’t the norm, but it is happening It takes a good year commitment to reach a good income level and it is true that 94% of Internet Marketers fail, earning little or no income,but do they really try or are they blinded by the instant success that the few have? You really can’t start out working fifteen minutes a day and make thousands a week.
You must be sure the company you choose is solid and has a GOOD compensation plan; one you understand and can explain with little study. You should choose one with a great product; one that doesn’t have a tremendous amount of competition. You must also approach your business with a good business plan. You should also choose your sponsor wisely make sure you get one that isn’t too busy to spend some time with you and help you . You might choose one that is part of a team and the team is pulling together to make everyone successful.
I was in the 94 % for quite a while; never could reach my sponsor for help and a lot of the time I didn’t know where to turn. I finally “Saw the Light” Joined a great sponsor and a great team. I can always reach my sponsor or one of the team either by phone or by skype ( a fabulous tool)  My Future looks bright ahead and I am not looking back.
Remember every thing you want is just outside your comfort zone.

Who Should You Market To ?

You should direct your efforts toward a market where you stand the best chance of success. You are an Internet marketer and you want to direct you marketing toward other network marketers.
There are other people to target also but they might be a harder sell there are a lot of people looking for a way to supplement their income or prop up their retirement because they are getting close and don’t have enough income to retire. A lot of them have heard that Internet marketing is a pyramid or a scam so you need to gain their trust over time. Your best and most immediate target are people who are already doing Internet marketing.
Don’t position yourself as a sales person. Remember people don’t join business opportunities they join people! Provide value and offer a free video or article that will help them become more successful. There is a saying that if you help enough people get what they want you will get what you want.
Internet marketers already embrace the concept and believe in it just as you do. These are people who have purchased a service or product before or are searching to for an answer to their problems. Be there for them and answer all their questions and give them all the help you can. You are successful, help them be.
In short we want to market to people who have bought a home based business at one time or another.
1. Network marketers already believe in the business model
2. Network marketers have already spent money in the industry
3. Network Marketers want to be successful
4. network marketers are willing and eager to use and purchase products that will assist them in being more successful

Wanna Be a Top MLM Leader? Change your Routine

Saturday, August 28th, 2010 at 2:29 pm

In a book called the “Compounding Effect” by Darren Hardy one part made me realize that although I do a lot of things right, I could be doing a better job and getting more results if I tweaked my routine. He does a great job of explaining that all the results in your life (good or bad) have come from your daily routine!
You Might consider changing your routine. If you are a late riser you might get up an hour earlier and meditate or write affirmations if these aren’t some of the “proven thing to succeed” that you do.
I started getting up an hour earlier and write a plan for the day and affirmations. I don’t know if you are like me but I have trouble concentrating for a long period of time on a single project so I work on a chosen project for a period of time and move on to something else and have in my plan to return to the former until I complete it that day.
The extra hour has made a big difference all for the better.
How you can make small changes that will make and impact
If you are part time building your network marketing business opportunity, think about ways you can maximize the time you do have. Can you bring your lunch  there by saving time and money and make calls to prospects while on your lunch break? Can you get up one hour earlier to send out face book correspondence? can you work a few hours more before you go to bed? Can you watch less TV??  Our TV’S can really eat up our time so be very careful with it.  Don’t try to overdo it at first but there is that is true as well.
Your Time Management Will Dictate the Velocity and depth of your success
Plan your Day. Make sure you have a workable system and MAKE SURE YOU TAKE SOME TIME TO HAVE FUN EVERY DAY. Even if it is only 15 minutes.

What’s the Easiest Homebased Business To Build?

Friday, August 27th, 2010 at 7:21 pm

Why Did They Even Get Into That First Network Marketing Business Opportunity?

People want to build a home based business if they are worried about their income or job and want to have additional money coming in or maybe they want to completely change their lifestyle. They get re-connected with that kid inside them that says they can be whoever or whatever they want, but, a lot let society, friends, family and people they don’t even know take away their power as they give in to the people that tell them they are stupid or cannot do it. They they go down the easy path which is the fast track to failing in a network marketing business opportunity.

Here is what I see going on RIGHT NOW. Opportunity seekers research to find a good company. Then they search for a good leader to sign up with. They are convinced it is the best home based business they have ever come across. Work it a few weeks doing it their own way instead of listening to the leader, get frustrated and then look for an easier network marketing business opportunity to work. So, what is the easiest home based business to build?

Bad Question

First of all, I think that is a terrible question. When you were little and someone asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, did you conjure up what you thought was the easiest job out there and reply with that option? NO. You had dreams, you had plans, and you wanted to do what you wanted to do. So what the hell happened?

“People continuously avoid success by constantly looking for “what’s easier”. You can “what’s easy” yourself to the poorhouse. Determine what you want and be willing to do whatever the hell it takes to accomplish it” – Ray Higdon

For Opportunity Seekers, “What’s Easy” is a Bad Downward Spiral

I have seen this firsthand. For people to generate a serious income in a home based business, you have to have customers and representatives spending money. That does make sense, doesn’t it? Without people spending money on your products, income cannot be generated. I see people everyday get into a good home based business that costs anywhere from $500-$1,000 to get started, try it for a couple weeks or months, decide it is too hard (rather than trying to get better) and go to a network marketing business opportunity that is half or even less the price. Then, they try to get people that signed up in the old company (usually with someone else) to sign up into this new home based business by bashing their old company due to it’s higher price. Think about it. Aren’t the only people you are going to attract going to be slackers and people who quit that same old company? Is that the type of community you want to create in a home based business?

Then They Typically Go to What’s Even Easier!

After failing at the higher priced network marketing business opportunity by giving up rather than getting better…wait, that reminds me of a Jim Rohn Quote…

“Don’t wish for things to be easier, wish for you to be better” – Jim Rohn

Our troubled opportunity seekers look for what’s even easier! I know, a network marketing business opportunity that is TOTALLY FREE to join would be perfect! Surely they can build that! And now, at this exact point, they have fallen into the annoying, jumping, stereotypical network marketer. They have crushed their warm market with 3 different companies in under 5 months. They have based one company to try to build another, then, based both of them to try to build the free option, which, barely pays anything because no one is spending money and they decide that they just don’t have what it takes to build a home based business. And, they quit.

So, what SHOULD you do?

Never lose sight of your dreams. Know that anything worth achieving is typically not easy and you will have to roll your sleeves up and go to work. Work on getting better every single day and let others telling you it cannot be done fuel you to prove them wrong. If you don’t believe in you, why the hell should anyone else? This quote sums it up nicely…

“Everything you want…is just outside your comfort zone” - Jack Canfield

You May as Well Markey Money

With A Gloomy Job market, High unemployment and out of control Government debt, and retirement not looking as good as it was, people are flocking to the only industry where the average person has a shot at building a good to great  income and relatively quickly growing a profitable, low cost business based from the home. Enrollments in home based business opportunities is growing exponentially as people worldwide recognize that there is more leverage in learning to network with others and use the internet,
The Network Marketing Industry: Around the world the industry that allows normal, every day families to start a real home based business from their kitchen table that they build by word of mouth and referral, networking based marketing is also, already a multi BILLION DOLLAR industry that has gone “mainstream” as claim several experts from inside and outside the industry. Globally this industry is massive and growing.
One such industry the Numismatic Coin Industry: In the United States alone, the Numismatic Collector Coin Industry is already a $10 Billion Dollar market and is growing. Experts still consider it a “small cottage industry” undiscovered by the general population. However, globally it is a massive industry with over $100 Billion Dollars in sales yearly. So, in fact, even if you and many others have never heard of it, the Numismatic Coin industry and what Numis Network is tapping into is already a massive industry with a robust and growing market worldwide. You are seeing Gold and Silver investment ads everywhere.
So Why Numis Network? What was it about Numis Network’s product and opportunity that people resonated so deeply with compared to so many other competing concepts? Why are so many high quality people and industry leaders enrolling in Numis Network and building large organization so quickly?
The Numis Network Product: Traditionally most network marketing companies have used the tried and true consumable product as its base. Usually in the form of a “wellness” juice, vitamin, diet pill, or other kind of lotion and potion. They have been used to build Mulit-Billion dollar global organizations for many decades. Numis Network, however, has a product that struck a nerve universally across an industry and it’s all based in fundamental market psychology inherent to the arena of home based business.
It’s simple really. People, by and large, come to this industry “to make money from home.” They usually do not approach this industry in a search for “the perfect juice” or other consumable product. People are attracted about the opportunity to make money from home with leverage. Numis Network’s product just makes sense. If you’re looking to learn how to make money from home, it may as well be by promoting MONEY (gold and silver) to other people who are looking to also make money, right?
Numis Network is still in its “infancy” stage but already many leaders of the industry have resonated with that line of thinking and have joined and enrolled over 5,500 people into the program already. So there is yet, another marketing psychology based “story line” here that explains the fast growing Numis Network phenomenon and why even industry leaders may be climbing on board fast and sharing the word.
Assets versus “Doo-Dads?” – The other interesting aspect of the Numis Network product line is that the product itself has historically tended to appreciate with time. As an example, a 1997 MS70 American Silver Eagle Numismatic Coin is currently valued at roughly $500 versus the 2010 issue of the same coin which is found on other Numismatic Dealer shops and web sites for around $150. These coins, like the value of the base metal they are made from, tend to APPRECIATE in time. And they are also considered ASSETS on any balance sheet.
Numis Network Compensation – The founders of Numis Network have designed a leveraged compensation plan that pays up front commissions in the form of “coded bonuses” to unlimited depths and width, as well as binary based residual income with a unique twist. Traditionally binaries tend to only pay on the “weak” or pay leg which can cause several scenarios where the distributor loses significant income to the corporation even though they recruit power builders who grow massive businesses and product volume.

Starting A Home Based Business? Here Is Some Free Advice.

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 at 4:19 pm  
Leave your comment

Many people have either started a home based business or are looking into starting one. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that 49% of the nation’s businesses are operated out of the home. ”Home based businesses collectively generated a remarkable amount of economic activity, especially for women and minorities.

There are a number of reasons why people choose to start a home-based business. Some reasons include the following:

1. Dissatisfied with their present job situation.

2. Laid off or downsized by their employer.

3. A need to be home more with young children or aging parents.

4. A desire to be his or her own boss.

5. Worry about the economy and retirement

Whatever the reason, there are some necessary steps required in order to start a home business.

First, set realistic expectations. Too many people read advertisements that are filled with hype and imply quick money making schemes generated from a home-based business. It will take usually take at least a year of dedication to get to a significant income. Of course there are some who make it really big in a very few months.

When some individuals interested in starting a home business come in with the following mind set of, “I am broke and need to make some fast money.” or “I want to start a home based business, but don’t want to spend anything on it until after I start earning some money.”, these are two instances of people who have not dealt with reality. Having such a mind set will most certainly lead to failure. Home based business is like any business you need to invest to start.

Because of the ups and downs that are guaranteed when starting a home business, the mind set of the individual is also key. Running a home-based business will present certain challenges and your ability to meet those challenges on a daily basis will ultimately determine your success. Entrepreneurs tend to see problems as opportunities whereas people who lack the entrepreneurial mind set tend to become frustrated more easily during these challenging periods.

Also, when choosing a home business, make sure you are connected to something you have passion for. You do not have to have experience, but trying to generate income without first having the passion and thirst for knowledge about your chosen business niche can only lead to disaster.

You are in luck you don’t have to reinvent the system or systems that can help you become very successful. They are out here with lots of very specific training without a large investment. One stands out way above the rest to me so if you want to hit the ground running take a good look at http://www.firemantom.net.

When considering a home-based business, there is an upside to the weak economic situation that can work for you but ultimately YOU are the determining factor between success and failure.

Network Marketing — Why On Earth Am I Up at 4:00 A.M. Thinking About That?!

That’s what I asked myself as I tossed and turned in bed at 4 something this morning…my mind swirling with great marketing ideas and things to accomplish for my MLM business. Well, it turns out the answer is….I’m excited about my Network Marketing business! I just got a shipment in of my product, (Silver) not Gold yet but soon, I got RE-excited all over again!

Not a terrible problem to have. Excitement about your Network Marketing business, I mean.

However, WE all know that excitement alone is not going to make you a top earner. COMMITMENT. DRIVE. FOCUS. BELIEF. VISION. And, of course, my personal favorite TAKING ACTION.

So, I challenge you today to relocate your own excitement! Rededicate yourself to your COMMITMENT, DRIVE, FOCUS, BELIEF and VISION for your Network Marketing business. And TAKE ACTION today. Don’t let another day go by “getting ready to get ready”. Whether you have 30 minutes today or 10 hours to devote, make your plan for the best use of that time and make the most of it.

Cheers,

FiremanTom
