Trends Toward Online Work, 21st Century Marketing Mastery

Welcome Fellow Top 1% Internet Marketers!

Barbara here.  May this day find you well no matter what you're facing.  This post is dedicated to some wondrous marketers I've been working with.  They are tremendous people so watch for them as more of us align our blogs with one another.  Each marketer represents his/her own unique self.

1) Matt

2) Wes

3) Joan

Back to current times...there is confusion on this gameboard, I'll admit. We are living in challenging times, but I will confirm (ahead of another emerging, but exciting reality) that we are also headed for some very good times!

Superaffiliate forces are in training!  We are looking most actively for more.

How You May Qualify

In today's post, I will just visit with you as if we've known each other for 10 years now. I hope that's ok.  

• If you feel as if you've been groomed for something very special all your life, it is NOT your imagination!
• If you've eaten the short end of the lollipop more times than you'd care to admit, it is not your imagination!
• If you have put yourself ahead of countless others selflessly (because that's who you are time and time again), it's your time to profit!
• If you've gone to hell and back trying to usher in peaceful times while encountering heavy resistance, it's time to meet your TRUE family!
• If your eyes can't believe what you're reading and your heart is jumping for joy -- yes - you're an unidentified potential superaffiliate who could join our team!
• You won't have to take order you can't stomach..., 
• You won't be asked to forfeit your belief system for some silly, outmoded idea making very little sense...,
• You won't have to nurture people who won't do their own work...,
• You won't have to work with people you can't stand...,
• You'll have free reign to market your business as you see fit...,
• You won't have to worry about something fleecing you at any moment because we all think alike..., and we don't keep the shortcutters...,
• You will be thrilled to meet this group of dedicated people!

Family Meeting True Family

Fly High With Eagles Instead of Being Pulled Down By Turkeys

I will tell you about something that is taking place, and it's happening at lightening speeds.  People are not sure who to believe because information is changing so fast offline...and online too.  Online -- you'll see websites carrying content dating back to 2005!  Major industries rely on websites that don't even build their client lists!  These pros don't necessarily know what's involved because they're still using snail mail and of course...they are busy running their businesses.

Current Content

Look for content that is being written NOW..in 2010 and 2011.  Masters are emerging and they are demanding that many systems now change to include comprehensive marketing, thorough education, and something integrated we can use to more easily build our web work without killing ourselves over years and years of complicated coding.

Trends Toward Online Work, 21st Century Work

This trend is real.  

I don't care how many people offline tell me, "You can't make a living online".  There are 2 types of people who live online.  The first type -- know you can build a sustainable business online because they're already doing it..., and the second type haven't proved the first hypothesis is true yet...(which is theory for those in the 1st group). They are MLM'ers, affiliates, and hybrid marketers (who do both).

• The trend now is that companies are saving $$ by moving employees back into the home environment
• Individuals are working from home because they want to spend time with family
• They're tired of long communtes
• They're wondering who in the heck they're working for now
• They're tired of feeling "disenfranchised" (meaning they don't know where they belong within the company)
• They want more out of life in terms of the things they can actively create
• When you create, you love your work!

The Masses 

• Long-term unemployed people are 45% in number
• 50% are educated and are still searching for work
• Uneducated people are struggling in major ways
• If we are employed, some are underpaid
• Some are overpaid and they represent a very slim minority who gave themselves bonus payouts at times where the public was feeling skinned alive. Yup. Wall Street and the bankers really messed up because they didn't care...but what the hay...they skimmed our investments right down to the bone ...not just for 1 or 2 years...but easily for 10.

There Is Good News

The good news is -- if you think along straight business lines, then we're no longer gambling on "unpredictable financiers".  Wouldn't it make sense to take matters into your own hands.

Would you consider pulling in some online marketing?  That means that there's major opportunity available for you online, if you want to consider it. 

You're Online -- Now You See A Ton of Sites

So a lot of people are searching. They're searching for solutions and they are feeling overwhelmed.  Now I'll offer you a review to tell you how you may protect yourself.  A lot of marketers "scare you to death" and then "promise to fix your problem".  I'm not suggesting it has to be this way because these marketers know that if they can get your heart pumping and your emotions charged, you'll run for your wallet.  But...ask yourself...is that really what I need right now?

Internet Gurus

These folks are adept at asking you to buy every slice of cheese available in the cheese and dairy case.  You will go much further by finding out what's really needed...as you take a bit of time to see what's out there.  Please... put your $$ and credit cards in your safety deposit box, in the meantime.  Put it where it's going to take time to get to it, so you can be sure before you make some wild-eyed purchase hoping it will get you to the moon.

I can tell you -- by getting everything housed under one roof, you will fare better online. 

Find a system or a blueprint that's proven..., seek out the most qualified people to help.  If you're searching for your magic beans by trusting a guru, again...I am in touch with marketers who are just plain, honest, caring people. We support a "No Guru, Guru" Mantra.  Take heed.  I've studied more websites online than I'd care to admit... and you truly don't need to do this.  If you are willing to invest a small, affordable sum in your marketing education, you will fare much better.   I am not saying you should join a traditional university program only expanding on what came before.  Yeah -- they're doing this even at the MBA level.  Universities -- WE WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DIRECTLY CREATE A LIVING OURSELVES.  We don't want more theory, and we don't want to be dependent another 35 years on a company spending our promised savings.

21st Century Work -- Part Of An Ongoing Shift 

Now...if you're still here reading these messages, I will apologize in the event I've stepped on some bankers toes.  I'll do the same if I put a dent in an investment planner's  system.  This is not an "us" VS. "you" thing.  This is about taking back our power.

So if you are one of us who have moments where you feel as if you're living in quicksand, Americans are facing major changes at all work levels.  I'm not talking about "end-of-the-world" stuff.  Companies have automated, and individuals need to take care of number #1 before our gov't spends our tax $$ elsewhere.

Our Information Age means we'll all have to switch gears, and we (you) can address your dread of change by telling yourself daily, "I am capable of abundant change"...and "I now go beyond my fears and limitations"... and "I now move beyond the fears and limitations of others".  Things will begin to settle and make more sense as you pull in new learning and lots of help. Those who I am connecting to online are part of the supportive system. They believe in you and they are here to genuinely help without feeding you baloney. 

Never run out of help!

2012 Approaching

Old times talk about unhappy things.  I say...forget gloomy, doomy days. The pulpit bangers have been doing this since the dawn of mankind, and we're tired of seeing the old "end of the world" date shift.

There is good change coming.

If we're moving slowly, OK.  

• For some, that means they must now look at things in a different light 
• For others, that means altering the way they live life...
• And for others...it means facing radically new change...
• Please keep telling yourself that any change you choose to face will be very positive change... and you will experience that reality without any injury to you, your family, or your friends -- it will be!
• Stay away from negative people
• Remain as independent as you possibly can
• If you're searching for online work to do magic for you, there's no secret spell or incantation
• There's no substitute for you applying yourself or caring for others.

What I Know, Firsthand

You're looking for a system that will deliver more of the time than not. 

Watch Out For Lofty Promises

When new people come online searching for something, that run into the deluge of gurus who tell you that you're missing out on something when, in fact, you are not.  They scare you into thinking that one thing is true...when it is not.  They ask you to buy X, Y, and Z...when all you really need is an honest assessment.

• True marketers put themselves out there first
• They give to you before they collect from you
• They offer content mixed in with many products/services..and that content has to be of big help to you.  (I cite one of my personal mentors who spent $70,000 online hoping to find his big break. The break came when he stopped buying everything guru's threw at him..., and when he began to study people like Dan Kennedy and Perry Marshall, his success took shape. It did not happen until he took his own direction.  
• The same will happen to you if you are dedicated to your success...and you help others succeed
• This power has always been a part of you and it resides from within
• No one can activate this power for you.., only you can do it.

Online, Showcase Your Name

You do not need to spend $3,000 - $5,000 to get what is already yours.  You need a domain name (mydomainname.com) for $12/year...the costs have risen on that end...and domain hosting (web hosting..for about $8 - 12/month).  Inside of your web host, you will find major solutions

Trend Toward Online Work Increases

We have a deluge of people coming online, and they want part-time or full-time work.  I recommend you avoid the "Nigerian Bank Scam" or filling out surveys...or even shopping for pay, as fun as it sounds.

The Powerhouses Now In Training --

Actively Assisting One Another

1) Network marketers who want a better way

2) People who want to do something else

3) Affiliate marketers...

4) Professionals who are tired of the 80-hour week grind...

5) Franchise owners who are beat -- I did that and have the old shirt.

1 Out of 2,000

1 out of 2,000 people will actually do something.  

If you are here..., you are most likely the 1 in 2,000 who wants a business that will last, but you may not know that trial and error is unnecessary.  That's where you want a system that will show you how to place your name online, find people who want what you offer, and so on.

Google, The Major Search Engine

Google demands we educate ourselves further, and it's naturally pushing marketers hard.

To Grow A Massive Enterprise

Your blueprint must span the Internet, and it will involve massive action.  

You're looking for predefined targets so that you can work your way into a new reality.  You do not need to hit those targets every single day because there are up's and down's in business... as sure as there are changes in seasons.

Beware of the Biz Opp

If you add a business opportunity to your web presence, Google will shut you down.  

You must pull in other ways of advertising yourself without coming across in that way. One way is to pull in your Free blogger.com account.  It is a start and it keeps you independent when you market MLM + affiliates, or one or the other.  I've talked about this step in many of my prior posts.

Blogger gives you the chance to link your blog to other blogs, thereby building your web work.

When you are actively seeking marketers you want to join in trust and in active unison (without any baloney), look for the ones who are actively growing on a regular basis.  These are the ones who will provide group and individual guidance. Whew!  That was a lot to say.  I know you've gotten this jist! We're looking forward to meeting you very soon.  More work is underway so the plumbing online isn't fully connected yet.  Please be patient.

Also, feel free to post your comments and or suggestions for the top 3 problems plaguing your business.  I do respond to serious marketers.

Laws of Attraction and Connection Applied, Part 3

Welcome Back Fellow MLM Buddies!

Ok.  Let's tackle a subject you're most likely silently debating inside of your most trusted inner MLM circles.  I bet you've asked other distributors ..."Now how come I'm killing myself using my warm market..and how come I haven't become the hunted person like those top guys standing onstage?   I mean -- I'm not lazy.  I'm a top producer in anything else I've ever tried before, and I've done everything they told me to do right down to the very letter...but I'm still sitting in Brokesville"!  (NOTE:  I don't call $900/month in residual top 1% earner income anything substantial because that's the MLM average.)


Want The Absolute Truth ?

Are you ready?  I can tell you some wild stories just like the other 4 MLM's who came before you...just before arrived here at my blog.  I'm not here to upset you cause I know how painful it is to walk this walk.  That's why I'm here online now...to tell you that you can become the hunted.


If you've followed any of my multiple blogs (and there will be more), notice how I'm writing like a demon but I do it because I am motivated to help you get what you need...not because it's necessarily required?  Some people say..."Oh man...that free stuff doesn't work".  Sure -- it costs time and time is $$..but if you're moving online and you don't have a ton of $$ to toss away on Google Adwords (you haven't yet mastered), then don't.  It takes special skills to know what has to happen first, and second, and third before you're pulling in leads.


Proof Is In The Pudding


Enter a search. Enter Terry Duff over at Google.  He is one primary mentor and a true teacher of classic Internet marketing.  He always responds to me directly thru email.  How many MLM leaders do that for you?  They just stand there in their "suits" looking at you.  It's zero!  These primary stakeholders have this weird "don't be there rule" for people so that you'll seek them out actively, thinking that they're some special duly elected Poo-Pa.  And..., maybe you are...but what you get are ZERO organizational results using that method.


Under Terry Duff... you will see an odd listing, #2 position?  It's no big deal...but look for the highlighted link, "Add 7 Reps A Day"...

Click here == > Add 7 Reps A Day

Point is -- I pay very little, if any money for advertising!  Once you're indexed the right way and you stay there, your site will work for you for years to come.


I wake up every morning in my jammies..and I open my email to find online folks asking me about more information, and I don't have to bug them to death on the phone or chase them down in person.

NOTE:  If you're just surfing the net to find out how to get your old X back..., just Google it.  I only work with the most serious network marketers who want to appeal to specific MLM audiences.

If you're tired of duking it out after years of slugging it in the trenches, this report is made for you!

Home-Based Business Updates, Legitimate and Illegitimate Business

Welcome Fellow Home-Based Business Owners!

Barbara here.  I'd like to offer some interesting news.  No matter what you're experiencing, hang in there.  Stay tuned to this blog for more updates.

Home-Based Business Is Lagging

The news I'm sharing here may be along lines you already know.   Whenever you have other industries lagging, a few willl lead but the vast majority will follow the major trend.  Here's why.  Whenever there's an economic downturn that happens twice in a row, it takes time to rebuild an economy.  Since the 1930's, there have been 3 double-dip recessions. 

What's happening in the U.S. economy looks worse than it actually is.or in the very least, many of us are feeling the same way -- when are things going to finally stabilize?  Good question.  Well.... we are in the middle of a profound SHIFT.  By that much said, I mean to suggest that the way we do things is being scrutinized. 

Those who haven't been as honest as they should be are getting pounded.  And..yes...old industry is rearing it's head because it refuses to make the changes the public demands.  It's as if we have some weird old industry entitlement mindset prevailing.  Let's just call it human ego run-a-muck.
 
As a result, the gatekeepers (bankers and regulators) were scratching their backsides..., and we've hit a double-dip recession. 

U.S. companies are sitting on $1.3 Trillion in cash assets and they're not hiring, despite gov't pleas.

That's tough news for a lot of very good people.

But guess what's happening online?


There are a few types of revolutions unfolding.  It's good news, but you have to know where to look.

People are buying tangible goods.

People are paying for "pet goodies of all types".

They're not traveling as much as they did even a few years ago.

THE SHIFT IS HERE

#1)  You have a clash between old and newer business mindsets, and sure... it's very real.  I've talked about this before.  It's so old we've beaten the dead horse to death.  Apologies to horse lovers.  I'm one of them, but I'm just using a metaphor here.

#2)  You have more individuals who are no longer willing to "work for less".  Heck -- why should they?

There are people are in need of work that will bring them a far better outcome.  For some -- that means operating their own business.  For others -- maybe it means striking a compromise between older and newer world values.  That's ok too.

#3)  We have more companies outsourcing to countries other than hiring people within the U.S.

Is it a flaw in U.S. economic and political thinking?  Maybe so.  Maybe not.., or maybe it's a combination of endless factors.  The reality is that we had a lot of wealth in 2008.  Many of us are watching our 401K's dip down further.  Some are doing ok and haven't been impacted.  Many have no safety nets.

BUT...there are industries that are raking in a lot of gold!  You have to think oppositely to what most people are doing.  They're not spending as much as they did going back to 2008.  They are regrouping assets, and they're reducing their debt as they can..., when they can.

#4)  We have more people hopping online, and they're looking for legitimate business opportunities.

I will tell you that it's getting hot in this Internet kitchen.  We've had a lot of people online take advantage of newcomers, and they should have known better.  That's ok.  Google shut them down -- 100,000 and still going as far as I can tell.  I'll tell you more so read on.

There are legitimate business opportunities.  You just have to know where to find them.  I'll give you a hint. You won't find them in the newspapers.  You will attract them to you!  If you consider yourself a willing, steady, honest person with very high integrity, then there are opportunities awaiting you online.  I will tell you what some of them are NOT.


Forget the Loser Opportunities

I'll give you a rundown of specific businesses I've evaluate these past 4 years, consistently.

* Forget quick fixes -- they take your $$ and give nothing back.

* Watch out for gov't scams claiming to offer new businesses loans. Unless you're directly in contact with the Small Business Administration (SBA), many gov't agencies have hit big reductions in fed'l funding.

* Remember -- If something is too good to be true, it's usually connected to a scam.

* Forget "fast overnight cash websites".  Whether it's MLM or affiliate marketing, be careful.  Many claim to be what they are not. 

* Forget filling out online surveys. 

They do one thing -- take your $35 and you'll never see it again.

* Forget ponzie schemes.  If you're not sure what this is -- just think about Wall Street's last fiasco dating back to September 2008.

* Forget gifting programs of any kind.

* Forget gambling or playing the lotto unless maybe you want a one-time, cheap Friday thrill.

* Watch out for MLM's who are NOT billion dollar companies -- if you choose to work any. 

Some of these companies are altering their payout plans when the big guys retire.  Some aren't delivering what they originally promised.  Some do deliver.  Find out who they are, if you can.

* Watch out for online gurus claiming to have the next best thing.  If they did, they wouldn't be selling their cruddy products.  About 50% of the time, these products/services are junk. 

* Consider Internet marketing education.  Yes -- it is = to a 4-year university degree..., but stay tuned for more information forthcoming.  Best of all -- you can work your mlm online harnessing this education...and NO -- you're not working for a company unless you really want to.  In that case, then have at it.  At least you're in the driver's seat.

* I will post an update in tomorrow's post.  For now, feel free to join my marketing newsletter.  You can get it by filling out your contact information in the upper right-hand side of my blog.  Here's where you can grab your FREE powerhouse report.
I'm bringing you more action-packed content in the days, weeks, and months ahead designed to empower YOU as your own CEO..., not an employee!

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post your concerns.  And please - spammers, I delete any spamming so please don't do it (that includes cross-recruiting).

To Pull in 21st Century Marketing, Work On Teams

Welcome Back Fellow Home-Based Business Owners!

Today's post is a repeat of yesterday because I'm expanding on the need to alter the way in which we often think.  I'll stary by talking about the Internet.  From there, we'll move into reprogrammed thinking (in positive directions giving you what you want most out of life).

So as you know, the Internet has hugely altered the way we conduct business.  In prior times, we didn't have access to information the way we do now.  I'd like you to think in "instant fingertip publishing directions".  This part is key and it totally relates to your success, no matter what others say.

We see in public sectors..., a lot of tension appearing as the result of companies perhaps not listening to what consumers are saying.  And..., we see gov't officials who still "somehow have their heads in la-la land"...even when we tell them, "We want this".  Well..., let me clarify something very important for you. It may shed more light on what's happening these days.

Did you know that if you FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON WHAT'S WORKING, YOU'LL GET JUST THAT?   Let me explain further.  What you focus on attracts more of that very thing.  So..., the old vanguard is not about "me VS. you or them".  It's about recognizing the light and dark thoughts we humans think. 

Now separate yourself from you for a moment and indulge me in this exercise.  I'm going to show you how you can see that your thoughts contribute to a larger reality impacting us all.  If you focus on what does not work and you consistently do that, well then.., you live in a very harsh reality.  You get precisely that result.

What would happen IF --

People worked together in real trust and through clear intention to achieve a common goal!!!  It means that they would have to actively tell each other what they want most, repeatedly if necessary until it clearly sinks in.

If you like what I'm saying, read on.

This blog is about attracting people to each other so that they will work well together.  Beginning to see why this blog exists? It's not just taking up space.  

I've give you proof.  There's a network of 10,000 people online working together in one active forum, but you can't seem them because you don't know they exist until someone tells you otherwise. Well, now you know.


Drop the individual differences we usually emphasize, and know that we're more alike than different.  Then..., REFOCUS ON WHAT WORKS MORE OF THE TIME.  When you do this, you activate the LAW OF ATTRACTION AND CONNECTEDNESS DIFFERENTLY (AND MORE EFFICIENTLY).

"What you think, you realize".  And..., it happening within a period of hours and minutes now.

If you feel  -- life has to include hard work to get what you want most, it will yield that result -- HARD WORK for no pay!!

Instead, change your underlying thoughts to include the idea that a happier reality exists and is free to appear simply because it makes sense. Then pull in the "I'm already worth it" saying but don't doubt what you just put out there. Then ALLOW.

Still want more proof?

Ok.  Think about the Laws of Attraction some more.  If you can accept the idea that the Universe mirrors back to you the thoughts you hold as true, then you get that reality as the direct result.  Kinda tricky, isn't it?  It sure is!  But.., no matter how you look at something, please pay close attention to the thoughts you hold during any given day.

Then...segment your thoughts into "snipet-it's of living".

Take your first segment. It happens when you first wake up. Chances are -- if you step away from what you've been thinking as it result to "the old mental tapes from days gone by replayed", it's old news.  And.., it really doesn't have to apply to today.  Those thoughts may be connected to what someone should have done but didn't.

Now..., stop yourself.

Ask yourself, "Would I really be happier if that other person did what I thought they should do"...to then be happy? 

No.

You can be happy regardless of what that other person is doing.  Just alter your thoughts.

Here's how.

When you find that you're thinking a negative thought.  Stop.  Refocus on something fun.  Now notice how you feel immediately. Chances are -- as soon as you altered your thinking in reverse (for the better), you probably started feeling better.

Well it's the same way in the Universe.  It gives you precisely what you think.

This laws applies to other people too.  You can create your reality, but no one can create it for you.  In a team setting, you can co-create together by spoken and unspoken agreement.  In many team settings, they usually go through a lot of difficulty because they didn't specify what they wanted...or if they did, some team member who wasn't going to deliver did just that -- didn't deliver.  That's ok.  There's always more waiting in the wings to join you.  Sift and sort and go through the numbers until you get precisely what you're after.

When you are all thinking in the direction of a specific outcome (such as everyone getting paid for work they love doing), you will get that result.  But, you must communicate that intention to people on your team over and over again until they can recite it moving forwards, backwards, and in-between.  Write your individual and group team intentions down on paper and look at them daily.

Then.., to attract people who value doing the same, the intention of this blog is to ATTRACT people who want to earn money readily without killing themselves over that work, and then the goal is to give BACK to people the things they say they want most -- it would include tools, skills and knowledge that will make the happy end result appear (solid pay, time off best spent with family, plus a team that's highly functional, motivated, and willing to do what's necessary to build that solid business). That's the intention spelled out in fine print.  If you find at any time that your team is "forgetting", tell them again in fine print.  E-mail is great for that purpose.

To get specifically what you want, you must communicate specifically what you want.  So..., if you're after profits in 1 and 2 years, you must state in print... "In one and two year's time, I will have a very profitable and sustainable business I can enjoy."  Or..., if you believe you can do it sooner in less than half the time, then restate your intentions to reflect those beliefs. Just keep working in those directions.

Pull in enthusiasm and great spirit.  Always work to help the other guy/gal get what they need, and also work on your behalf. Try not to create for the other person the things they're already creating.  Sometimes, for some people, it means NOT doing their work for them.  You can guide them and offer alternatives, but in the final end, it's up to them to tackle what's needed.

Balance the need to support yourself with what the others need too.

NOTE:  As soon as you set forth your intention, you must be careful not to spend too much (if any) time spent in negative thought (self-doubt, disgust, frustration, judgment, or impatience).  Those are negative realities that attract more of those specific end results....pushing people away to yield exactly what you're thinking.

If you find that your mind is wandering along those lines, distract your mind immediately.  Stop that thinking.  Then..., refocus in positive directions.  Stay positive in your thoughts, your actions, and in your wording.  Keep it going daily, weekly, and monthly.

Then.., see what happens.  You should notice that you'll start attracting positive people who will do the right thing at all times, they'll be in the game not only for themselves but for others, and they'll create the success the entire team desires.

I will stop there because it can take at least 4 months to catch yourself in these thought modes.

If you'd like to post comments or suggestions, feel free to do so and don't forget to fill out your contact information so that I can place you on a powerful marketing newsletter.  In this newsletter, I reveal specific concrete ways to attract a powerhouse team.

Living in UK Or Elsewhere? Don't Worry -- Visit This Blog Instead!!

Welcome Back Fellow Home-Based Business Owners,

I'm going to give you a current marketing heads up. 

There is MASSIVE work underway to bring you "jaw-dropping" content that will absolutely put you in the driver's seat. This is "hold-your-hand stuff".., go here..., get the free account there..., here's what you do at low-cost, sweat equity levels, then cut/paste, reword, add your name and go there and we've now got you online.

How does that sound? 

The goal is to create new, 21st-century "mad marketers" (not being mad but working like mad to make it happen without doubt or question)... in an effort to create those who know what they're doing 5,000% of the time.  There is NO trial and error if you get the right stuff in your hands.  And.., it's available for far less than you think.  For now, I'm not going to hit you over the head with offers like a lot of marketers may and do. I will give to you until you know you can come here safely and "get the real skinny".

This content WILL NEVER be connected to "some pyramid scheme or gifting program...or surveys".  Forget "fast overnight deals" designed to do 1 thing -- profit only those marketing themselves. I'll apologize in advance for being passionate here because IF YOU ARE an honest person (and I believe you are), then you're in for some major treats!

Business and marketing whether it's MLM... or affiliate marketing (online) IS absolutely about giving you specific concrete actions you can take NOW without wondering, "where in the heck is this stuff going to take me"?

My promise to you is to put you in the driver's seat where you edit your content, you own your own website, you build your own list, and you own your own list!!! Forget the sponsor in your MLM.  He/she may be the greatest thing since sliced bread cause some of these folks are my very best friends online, but I highly doubt that this person offline is the true "sponsor" this word suggests...UNLESS they specifically teach you what they are precisely doing.  If so -- hats off to those folks because they are blessings!  But.., more commonly than not, most sponsors face heavy pressure to build their downlines so you will essentially have to find other alternatives.  Getting off that rant cause this is about you.

Let's get back to where you actually live. 

Nowadays, add technology to the mix.  Please think along those lines.

It doesn't matter where you live as long as you have 3 things:

1) A computer with fast Internet connectivity

2) A sincere willingness to learn proven marketing

3) Fingers that do the typing.


It Starts With Proper Education

You'll like this.  You don't need an English degree!  Can you cut/paste and reword?  Anyone can do this.

Furthermore, here's the true reality.  MLM's have massively miffed people off so they're now coming online!  Small wonder.

I'm working with people all the time telling them, "Don't hit yourself over the head for having had these troubles because there are so many of us who've been there"..."The key thing is to move onto happier times ahead" and let the other folks alone.

I'm not saying all of this to stir up trouble.  Truly not .... because I believe all human beings are designed to live life fully and completely -- without tremendous worries and hassles.  Right?  Absolutely.  There's a reason why some folks are afraid of 2012 and what it could involve.  They know that the power is shifting!  It's moving back into the hands of those who will do the right thing at all times, even when it temporarily means they're "building business that will pay". And we're not talking nickel and dime paychecks.

How do you know I'm speaking an ultimate truth?

I speak to you from my heart. And...no.... there hasn't been ANY cutting or pasting...or using software to "find articles I can publish fast". 

In any given moment as we're visiting here with each other, your success boils down to a few things:

1) being so passionate about what you do that you can't sleep at night

...but, I recommend that you take good care of yourself because you'll need everything you have and more.

2) getting solid, accurate, powerful information so that you'll be so greatly valuable to people that they won't be able to sleep at night

...because they too are moving forward, experiencing real, sustainable growth (and success)...just because they're building real businesses from home that they can truly enjoy.


You Know This Content Is Real Because

It's about time.  We don't need more leaders "telling people what they think they want to hear".

It's time to restore balance to many powers.

Feel the emotions in your gut and heart.  No matter how silly these works may appear, anytime you constrict in your gut, your most powerful self is saying to you, "Maybe this content IS NOT meant for me".  That's what you'll feel if ANYONE feeds you baloney.  Feel your gut emotion.  Listen to your heart.  It cannot lie.

If you feel open, relaxed, and maybe even safe and peaceful, I'm am telling you the absolute business truth as I know marketing best --  at any given point in time.  The Internet is changing so we have constant updates happening everytime the major search engines alter their algorithms (affecting how people search for information online).

My job will always involve telling you "what works" and "doesn't work".

I won't have you running all over the place to "hand out fliers and DVD's"...unless they are your own.., copywrited with your own content and advertised under your name"!!!  That's actually a good thing but it takes most of us time to reach that goal (advanced marketing).

HERE IS WHAT YOU MUST DO

1) Get a domain name of your own and get web hosting.

(I'm not going to give you a domain registrar or hosting service yet until you know "How to get the right domain".  Getting the right one gets you indexed fast.  Getting the wrong one puts in on page 10,000 where you'll never be seen...so please stay tuned. I'm writing accurate content as fast my fingers can do the typing.

Do I Need A Website Of My Own?

Ok.  Here's the thing.  I have addressed this in prior posts..., but NO..., you don't have to own a website to start off with!  You can pull in things others have already created..., but PLEASE..., before you buy anything, leave your comments here.  There's so much out there that you don't need -- it's a terrible game online.  I have 29 blogs scattered throughout the net designed to do one thing -- PROTECT CONSUMERS.  Some are more complete than others, and some are still developing.  Soon, I will have 1 website pulling it all together so ...again...stay tuned for that link.

NOTE:  Please DO NOT pay for an MLM self-replicating website.  I did this twice and had nothing to show for it until I got smart and picked up the right education ...like getting my own domain and web host...(Internet marketing).

AND BONUS:  Get a FREE blogger account here and start your own web presence.  It's blogger.com. 

2) Then..., decide what you're marketing

If you're not sure, a TON of people online are marketing MLM, affiliate marketing, and more do both.

Please know that it's very common to not know which direction to take.

Again.., I have stuff in the works to answer all beginning online marketing questions but have a few work-arounds to tackle before it's all integrated (so it works for you).

SHIFTING GEARS

I will let you in on a BIG secret. 

The most powerful people online don't set foot outside of their homes!! i''ve talked about this in prior posts so you don't have to search through archives.   And.., they're powerful.  They're working quietly at home while their neighbors are twittling their fingers, worrying about when they'll hit the "layoff, pink slip list".  Forget that.  That's why this blog is here -- to give people credible options and legitimate business plans.

Furthermore, the folks on the net are ALL website owners.  They build their own lists.  They don't give names they have away to companies offering double-talk.  When these site owners ever walk into an MLM, (and it's pretty rare nowadays), they scare networking top dogs because ....1) they know what the public demands..., and 2) they're wiling to deliver (like...maybe that a private website we've all  been screaming about for about a decade now).  Always give the public what they demand or they'll just go elsewhere..., but you won't know why you're "bleeding bottom line losses".  I say this carefully so that you'll  give people what they need to succeed...so that you'll STAY IN PROFIT. 

So For Good-Hearted Folks Such As Yourself

Pick one direction and work it until it's working smoothly.

Work in a team setting.

If you don't know what that direction must be for full success, stay tuned.  Submit your questions.  Yes.  You can do that here and you'll get a concrete answer.

HINT:  You don't have to work alone.

HINT:  Ask for help but don't be shy. 

HINT:  Please do not assume that because you are a seasoned MLM player that you know what Internet commerce is all about -- UNLESS you are moving your own product at your own level.  Then if so, congratulations!!!  This is a different  beast than what you're accustomed to tackling.  If you've had any Internet marketing at all and you've still hit brick walls, you haven't been given the TOTAL truth.  Then.., if that's true, please stay tuned.  My content is designed to tackle beginner, intermediate, advanced, and product creation levels.

I'll let you in on another secret. 

You know the "fear" that's been spread about not trusting people online?  It's a ploy.  That's fear coming from people "who haven't yet tried to get the information online"...or it's fear related to "not yet coming online and most likely won't"..., or it's fear related to "why you shouldn't"...or it's fear about pay-per-click advertising".  Let's kill the fear related to the last challenge.  I will certify people in pay-per-click one day.  It's happening already.  For now, I'm certifying..., but you set a budget daily and you control that budget daily..., and you never go over your daily allotted amounts.  That's logic.  So look at the fear by filling that fear in with logic.  Stay tuned more along those lines. What's coming forth is really big.

Another secret -- those who succeed online work with one another and boy do they work.

Guess how we're working?  We're working to help one another! Novel concept.  We don't cross-recruit one another though because we don't have to.

HINT:  Put the numbers in your favor so that you don't have to cross-recruit.  It's not necessary.

A Bit More

Add later campaigns when you know what you're doing.

Now..., if you're tired of struggling, please....contact me....but please..., no spamming. 
Stay tuned because I have links I can offer to give you research options and solid alternatives.  A TON of content is coming your way...and darn it if we'll be stopped any more!

Subtle Differences Between You and MLM Millionaires

Welcome Back Fellow MLM Folks!

Today's post talks about the subtle differences between you and your top MLM Millionaires.

Subtle Point #1)

They have sincere enthusiasm.  The are tops at what they do.

You just need a booster shot offered from proven realms. 

Find those who have hit their real mark.  I'm talking about someone who absolutely already knows how to honestly generate a million. I am not talking about someone who lies through their teeth by "suggesting they've done it while they charge their lives on credit".  HINT: The "real deal" is very quiet because that person is busy working to get the needed know-how and to attract huge numbers of people willing to learn and apply.  It is a sorting game. 

HINT:  These people learn to operate under the radar. They are NOT the ones standing on stage.

Subtle Point #2)

They have very developed skills.  You can actually acquire these skills.

Subtle Point #3)

They get accurate knowledge.  You can get it but be prepared to work for it.  Don't expect to learn it over night and don't expect to get it by purchasing that experience.  You have to acquire specific skills by "learning and applying directly".

Subtle Point #4)

These top producers invest in themselves to hire certified and/or mastered expertise.  They don't rely on FREE.  Remember, there is a big cost for using FREE.  You lose time, money, effort, family togetherness..., and lost opportunity (missing those who have done well because they get the skills others need and demand).  By going through "paid doorways", you access the real experts. 

HINT:  You won't find this person working online from his/her parent's dusty basement room. 

Real story -- I met a gal a few years back at an MLM corporate meeting. I was there with another traditionalist who actually "did make some monthly income".  She was standing on-stage.  I was sitting in the audience.  Afterwards... I was introduced to her, but at that time, I had just finished 2 years of grinding graduate business schooling, 20 hour days, 6 days/week research...and sure, I was a bit proud. 

She asked me what I was doing?  My answer -- direct response marketing, but I just finished an MBA to add additional support to this marketing endeavor.  I figured that people would want more from me.

Her claim to fame? She said that she had earned her "MLM MBA the hard way" through the school of hard MLM knocks.  Sure -- formal education isn't everything and no one likes to be a perceived "smarty pants braineac"...(...and...I would hope I don't seem this way).  So...I figured..."hang loose..., listen and watch".  She talked about "going here and going there..., flying all over the country-side...,contacting 11 people/week on her list...but while she was onstage, she mistakenly mentioned that "she wasn't religious about doing this on a daily basis".  Hmmm. RED FLAG.   My thought was -- "Where does one find the time to fly everywhere cause I've been busy working..., figuring out what people want, need and will pay for"?? So I hope this gives you a few clearer clues.

The ones who are top producers will tell you they work like dogs. They're spending huge amounts of time prospecting, forming relationships, putting themselves out there first by offering rich content ...and more. And yes.., they're spending decent amounts of cash building themselves for others!

So...when you're sitting in a crowd somewhere and you're not feeling the greatest, don't take anything that you see "as real".  You can use your eyes to look at physical appearances, and while you can't judge a book by its cover, just let your common sense be your guide.

What do your top producers look like? Are they driving smoke, spewin' cars? Probably not. 

In this story, the point is not to say that one marketer is better than another.  I am saying -- "get the best information you can get".

After that meeting, I was feeling a bit low so I called up one of my marketing coaches and trusted friends. I asked, "what's up with that scene"?  He remained quiet because his intent was "not to bash anyone" but to suggest -- "Stay focused and keep working.  More will make sense as you apply".  He was correct.

Biggest Point Of All

My most substantial point about any marketing is -- if someone who claims to be a "top success" and your intuition tells you otherwise, your first impression is more likely "right on".

HINT:  There are others out there who can help.  These people are not always visible.  You can find them online, but they must have an old domain that's at least a few years old.  Otherwise, you're still finding people who are piecing things together. 

You can become the hunted AND it won't have to cost you as much as you'd think.

EX: Stair step your way into help. You won't get these pros for FREE because they're paying out some real blood, sweat, tears, equity and personal money to acquire their expertise too. These people will be top producers but they won't be buying into MLM qualification (spending $500/month to do it).

If you have a small amount you can afford for personal marketing education, this is a very good start.  It's like any business you initiate.  There will be some early costs involved. And.., you don't have to buy corporate advertising stuff.  You don't have to pay $10,000 up front.  If something is important, you will find a way.

What I did -- I gradually paid out (over time) the smaller increments so that I could hire the true pro's.  Watch 'em for a while.  Let them show you what they can offer.   Make sure that you're getting quality information. Head to the phones at night ... many nights/week.  Take weekends off to spend with family.  If you're working on your marketing...take 1 full day off/week.  Take your holidays off.  Ask a ton of questions.  Bug them.  E-mail them.  Call them..., but stay on that dinner list with family and friends.

Hit High Marks

Above all, aim high.  Aim at a precise target.  Be proud of yourself, but kindly don't pass along "junk".  Get the best information you can possibly afford.  Master it...and share it.  Go for the top, top producers.  If you hop online, you can check them out.  These marketers should have a good history, not one that's riddled with underground, black hat marketing... -- translation  -- taking other peoples' commissions under-handedly).  These people eventually get shut down by the major search engines (Google and Yahoo).

Subtle Point #5)

Master these things:  the written word, harness techology, develop some skills that pay, and consider incorporating the Internet. 

Sure, the Internet is not an "end-all-be-all", but it sure beats belly-to-belly marketing!

Stay tuned. I have more powerhouse content planned for you because YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Social Networks Are Great UNTIL

Welcome Fellow Home-Based Business Owners,

One of the greatest services you can offer as an "ethical marketer" is to protect individual rights online. Sure -- we all like the social networks. It's what helps us connect and identify to those we'd like to work with most.

Facebook, MySpace And Other Social Site Activity

Social sites are great until "Facebook, MySpace and various social sites started sharing names, user IDs, and other information sufficient to enable ad companies such as Google's owned DoubleClick to identify distinct user profiles", (Wall Street Journal, May 24, 2010). Read the "pull my finger link below"...

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/05/21/facebook.shares.data.ars/index.html?hpt=Sbin

As luck would have it, I tried to post this article over at Facebook but it was blocked three times "for offering similiar content". Hmmm.

Word in cyberspace reports, "Facebook has now stopped this practice". You'd think their 27 yr. old hoodie wearing CEO would bolster site security and stop this practice..., but being a multi-millionaire eccentric never prevented anyone from doing the right thing.

Sure -- data can be taken, or worse, if we look at the advertisers' perspective (us), "we're only getting demographic data" , but let's get real.  Click the active link below to get the real "skinny":

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/05/21/facebook.shares.data.ars/index.html?hpt=Sbin

I've always cautioned fellow marketers online, never reveal true or personally identifiable information in these networks. Yes -- form a quick post but forget opening up your networks to "play pillow talk".  There's a reason for this approach. No one will protect you so you might as well protect yourself.

Otherwise you might as well rename these sites --

privatezone.org

What Does Work From Home Mean?

Welcome Back Fellow Network Marketers!

In all of my posts, plans are to bring you content relating to all aspects of business building, including marketing. Today, let's tackle "work from home" and what it means to your success because a lot of people get lost right here.

This post should:

1) Save you from spending $$ on things you don't need (getting you nowhere)..., 2) Spare you lost time and effort doing the things that won't put a nickle in your pocket...3) Ggive you things you can do today to singularly list yourself as a true  leader that you already are !
Work From Home Means One Thing --

Work From Home.... In Profit...Not In Debt

Let's kill the promise you heard when you enrolled in your very first MLM.

We were all told we could, "Work From Home".

I'm here to tell you again..and again..and again...it can happen !!  It can be profitable in ways you'd never imagine, but you're going to work for it.  There are no shortcuts.


Start By Tackling Your Success But Get Real

I know you know this part intuitively so play along with me.  If you're going to make true progress, you have to get honest...real honest, and stop justifying everything.  It gets you nowhere. Once you do this, you can then formulate real alternatives taking you somewhere.  This is assigment #1 I explain further at the end of this post.
Let's assume you had no success in your MLM..., or worse, you put in a lot of time, effort and money into your business and you're reaping limited results.  Yeah -- you're even standing on stage and you're not getting the results the 1% "other guys/gals" are getting.  There are reasons for this reality, but they're not your fault.  You've done what they asked you to do with zest.

Ok.  So maybe you found that you can build an "ok residual" using the methods they taught you ...and..., you'd still like to get your hands on the blueprint delivering what it promises.

Hint:  You must identify your true self and then eventually market ONLY yourself.  Sure..., you can use your name everywhere on business cards and websites galore, but what makes you valuable is your leadership.

Solution #1 --

Don't even pay $35 for the chance to fill out surveys for money online. Those are scams.

Solution #2 --

Avoid hands off marketing systems and stay away from any greed-based opportunities you see when
you enter "Work From Home Online".  Those programs do one thing.  They take your $$, but you can't even get a return on it.

Solution #3 --

More people spend their hard-earned $$ buying everything your upline or your company tell you to buy. Don't, no matter how hard they press you. 

Truth is -- I've talked about this before -- the ones who are "seemingly ahead" of you in your company are the ones who still haven't figured out what a million dollar template entails !  So..yes... we have the blind leading the blind...., most of the time.  In a few rare cases, we have exceptions to the rule.

Solution # 4 --

Don't market everything under the sun written by someone other than yourself.  Sure -- you don't have to reinvent the wheel, but you DO have to put your name on it.

Cite it, publish it, UTube it, advertise it offline too, but just use your name. That's it!  Take the time to do it. You'll be glad you did.


Here's the Biggy -- Here's A #1 Tip That Makes All The Difference (To You)

Solution #5 --

Wrap your hands around a information that makes good, honest business sense.  Does it make sense on the front end? Does it make sense on the back end?  If not, leave it behind.  It wasn't meant for you.

Whatever you choose -- that information has to meet those 2 primary ingredients....on the front end and on the back end.  There is nothing misleading at all.  Full disclosure is one golden pathway to your success.

When you find this information you're looking for, ask yourself -- "Will it be something many others want and pay for?  That's also key because some systems that worked 20 years ago aren't working so well today..., no matter how much others "talk it up".

All informational systems require periodic updates to reflect changing times.

If the information you're following dates back to Methusela, you're in trouble. You'll most likely get "medieval" results...or worse, you'll be laughed out of court.

So... find information that works for you (and countless others) more of the time than not.  If you find information that "dead ends"..., chances are that this help hasn't yet incorporated the changes people are demanding. That realization helped me hugely.

If the information or system(s) you've been using haven't been working well, find out precisely why.   Do it even though everyone else around you says, "NO", that's a red flag.  Use your common sense.

This finding will put real answers into your hands. The ones who say "NO" are afraid of 2 things -- 1) they'll lose you...and worse, 2) they'll lose your business.

Then.., find out who you are even when you're standing in huge opposition.  So..yes..., find your true self separately from whatever your ego tells you ...like...I gotta make money NOW at all cost...even at the expense of others.  Don't.  In the end, you're hitting another dead end and you're not acting in alignment with highest reasons (which actually give you what you desire most -- a solid reality).

You want to create a business you can sustain.

Then.., find a system that teaches you what's absolutely needed to make a strong go of it in business.  It should match your true self.  Take as much time as you need.  When you do that, pair that system up with true marketing education and guess what will happen?

You'll be unstoppable.


Forget Self-Replicating Websites

Ok. I've talked about this problem before. Ask yourself, "Should I still use my corporate website"?  It appears to give me everything I need to work a profitable business".

Look for these 2 things:

1) Does the website help you build your list or the MLM's?

If it's the company, you can't carry this list with you no matter what others tell you. The company owns the list.

2) You want a system that will position you.

I will admit that I bought many things under the MLM sun and got very poor results -- 5 companies total.

This part is important.

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. Again.., that's your ego's way of "puttin on a big show", but it's not who you are.   And..., the people who told you this in one way or the other are often lost in their stories.  

Don't flier parking lots.

Don't pass out fliers to people in malls.

Your business success is a human process.

So..., ask yourself this question.  If you've gotten everything you "supposedly needed in your MLM" like hands off marketing systems or opportunity-seeking leads saying "NO" to you, then ask -- ""Why am I still struggling?"  I'm asking this question to help you move beyond what's keeping you stuck. Hang onto your hat.  Are you sitting down?

Solution #6 --

You've been positioning everyone BUT yourself. 

When you do this, you lose credibility (even when you're a true powerhouse).  Beginning to see a bigger picture? I hope so.  That's why I'm here -- to make a real difference in the lives of others.  So you wouldn't be the first one who made this mistake because we've all been there.

What Top Guns Do Without Fail

Here's what top brass do, company after company...and they're cleaning up big time.  They adore showing up for work -- or better -- working from home...and even better working on the go (cuz they can write off their vacations during a few hours of work! Man.  This is what business should be --  in a NOW AGE.

The smartest ones eventually get the resources, education and skills (mostly this part) to place their stamp of approval on anything they move.  Why?  A lot of humans like to follow the leader.  It feels safe. 

Here's something you've figured out if you're seasoned.


Being a True Leader Means Breaking New Ground

Being a true leader means breaking new ground.  Now..., here's where things get interesting.  When you're first launching your business, sure, you have to promote other peoples' products.  That goes without saying...., offline or online. That's just how it is.

Over time, as you obtain more mastery and working capital  to keep your business afloat, you should be striking out on your own. The world needs you.

You don't have to be a millionaire to do this.  You don't.  You have to be motivated, willing to continually learn and then apply what you're learning.  That much is true.


For Seasoned Players

Now...,  fast forward into the future. 

Let's say you didn't get what I was saying in this post...and 3 years later, you find out that your head is still touching the glass ceiling.  And.., let's say that you can't seem make that breakthrough and you've even gone so far as to hop into the social networks.  Do you know when it all happens?

It's not because you're doing what "they're telling you to do".

It's not because you're buying everything under the sun. 

HINT: Use paid advertising in small slices and pair up that effort with free advertising !  Bingo.  Learn "how to create and move traffic".

Then..., apply your natural drive and determination (for the right reasons) to  honestly improve peoples' lives significantly and profoundly (first including your own).

You have to include "right-minded action".  That means, in every situation, you must always do what's best for the other person. It's Universal Law.


Your Success Appears When


You act regularly.  Let go of outcomes.  Share information sincerely.  Motivate for others and self, in delicate balance. Then.., find a way to put your true essence out into the world because others want it and demand it.  Again.., it is that simple.

It takes time and processing your human side to figure out what these hints includes and don't include..., but if you focus on finding out who who you are aside from your ego, your true self will attract solutions, people and more to you!

When you know beyond all doubt who you are -- you will attract and retain people who mirror similiar attributes back to you. That's when business IS profound.

Ok. This part is what I promised you at the beginning.  I'd like you to spend 20 minutes of time to seriously addressing this task.  I'm going to give you an assignment...and there's no pass or fail. 

This is something designed to make your life clearer so that you can take the action that will change everything for the better.

Assignment #1

If you're going to move from point A to point B, you've got to get clear about what you intend to do so that you can align your greatest talents, skills and assets with clear-minded actions and right-minded thinking.

No -- you don't have to dial through cold calls.

I want you to list the things you've been doing that have been holding you back.  List things like:

1) buying everything under the sun without using common sense
2) not questioning matters -- hint -- instead...you can use your local library for free
3) not seeking alternative resources
4) stop passing out samples
5) stop passing out DVD's and fliers designed to do only 1 thing -- position the company
6) hitting up family and friends
7) chasing anyone with a pulse who might happen to listen to my pitch
8) fill out your contact information in confidence to get my insider's newsletter

where I talk about more.  Only those appearing on my list get the advanced stuff  doing only one thing and one thing only -- positioning only you as the expert!

Then..., stay tuned.  In the next post, I will bring you ways to concretely clarify what's needed to make a real go of it!

Mastering the Law of Attraction For Fabulous Business, Cont'd

Welcome Back Fellow Network Marketers...

and Home-Based Business Experts too! May this day find you healthy and productive.

This blog post is dedicated to Timothy, a fellow associate marketer.

One of the biggest questions I hear from fellow network marketers is, "How do I get into profit fast"?

In all matters, there's no secret trick other than focusing your efforts consistently. When you do this, you will accelerate towards an outcome. If you move in directions of what you want most -- like profit -- you will draw people, events, information, and systems to you!

The biggest part is implementation on a daily basis by taking direct action, no matter how small. When you first start out in anything, you'll blunder and stop. If you want something greatly enough (such as working from home or working for yourself), you'll get there. Again...the more intensively and smartly you work, the more focused you become, the faster you will see this new reality emerge. You can't be afraid of it because it is something that you directly create, believe it or not. Enter The Law of Attraction, continued because here's where it fits in best.

Law of Attraction Is the Law of Love At Highest Levels

What happens when you consistently hold a thought and then follow that thought up with right-minded action? By right-mindedness, I'm talking about doing what's best for all concerned.

What you get is something precious. It's you in a new but in a far and more developed form.

It doesn't matter what you're marketing. People will want you. So..., you must use your highest truth and your greatest sensibility to attract active people to you. You will have to sift and sort. You will have to release, connect, and reconnect. You will have to work with some for a little while, and eventually you'll find the 'real team'.

I call this Masterminding. Sure.., players come and go, but the real team forms as they stand the test of time. These players help one another so that the ball keeps rolling whether you're sick or well. These people mirror back to you the things that you cherish and value the most -- your grandeur, appearing in the form of steady, daily energy. So if you take your energy and translate it into product or service moved, you get profit. Money is energy and that success will always leave a trail of evidence. That's when your business will really take off.

Would profits involve finding a system?

Sure. You can absolutely find a system that will propell you forward. I cite -- picking up the skills to speak to people well..., finding out what to say while saying it best. Above all, you have to fuel that system with positive (not negative)energy. Positive energy draws proactive people to you. Negative energy pushes them away from you. You're then left with finding a solid way to speak to the masses using many communication mediums. Makes sense? Or..., is it still clear as mud?

Don't worry.

You have many opportunities to view my posts and you don't even have to hit the archives. In all posts, I offer nuggets of success. I incorporate all aspects of mastered business residing at the highest levels of life. I don't just talk about being a millionaire, I show you how you must BE to build millionaire wealth. Sharing this knowledge off the top of my head because this is what I inherently know and have done. RULE 1 -- you do become a servant of the public. RULE 2 -- you don't hold onto outcomes. RULE 3 -- you never push a decision. RULE 4 -- you hold the other person's needs in mind. RULE 5 -- you raise the consciousness of those who are willing. So..hang on some more with me.

I'm here to tell you that your success involves many aspects involving your "sum totality". I am speaking in spiritual terms here, but I am also speaking in real life, profitable terms. People are drawn to you because of your inherent power. It's not a draw because you're marketing X, Y, or Z. Clearly explained, you are the sum total of many parts including: your history, your successes, your failures, your gains, and your relationships. Above all -- your relationships account for much of your success if you're willing to give and take, help and ask, implement and learn, share and accept, grow and nurture, instruct and follow. It's a combination of all of these things -- applied using many elements.

Here's something important. Human beings are multi-dimensional. They require input and steady aid. They are complex but free-willed. So...yes...your relationships matter.

Here's something that took me a while to really know. You can't hit a target by working alone, i.e. the residuals or building a business you will enjoy. You also can't grow if you're doing everything by yourself.

Leverage everything and everyone around you.

Now, I've noticed a lot lately that many people think success means making a fast buck. Well..only if you want to be a "flash-in-the-pan". Success never has and never include a fast gain just because human beings function best whenever we form lasting relationships (with them). That's a given.

What about using laws like the Laws of Attraction to create this successful reality? YES. Note the big yes.

You'll have to spend a fair amount of time meeting people: social networks are one way (Twitter, UTube, MySpace, Facebook, Linked-In), and paid means are another if we reference the Internet. If you're working your business offline, it's going to take you years to grow your client base. But.., think about what happens if you harness the power of the Internet? Notice how the old systems have been plodding along, resistant to new methods of communication forming? Consider publishing, for example. Publishing by it's very nature once involved only those who passed some stringent test we'll call "the publishing houses". Not so today. Truth-be-told, online publishing doesn't have to cost you money. It costs you time and effort but it doesn't cost you a dime.

Again...enter Internet.

That's where the Law of Attraction comes in handy.

Here's why. You'll need to put the numbers in your favor and you've got to find several ways of attracting other people.

You must follow the golden rule at all times, even when no one is looking.

If you put negative energy out there, like attracts like.

If you put positive energy out there, like attracts like.

Never take shortcuts by saying this at the risk of sounding too repetitious. In many of my posts, you must never short anyone out of their hard-earned money.

Now here's the neat part. When you put yourself 'out there'..., just as I am doing here, do it consistently. Do it daily and weekly. Never mind whether or not people find you TODAY. Do it because you love people and you truly want to help, and do it because you know that they (and you) are worth millions today. This reality has nothing to do with the size of your wallet. Your money doesn't define you, but it can sustain you.

Keep publishing. Keep sharing information.., and people will slowly trickle in. Pretty soon, you'll set off an avalanche you can't even handle. It's good to be busy!

I'll share more by quoting Rhonda Byrne. She says it best and better than I can say it now. "Love is the highest power we possess..., (working)in complete harmony with the law of attraction". Okay -- this isn't a 3-Dog Night show, but read on. "The more love we feel, the greater our power will be. The more selfless about love we (are and feel), the more unfathomable our power."

Here's what many don't know or embed. You have to feel this stuff in your tissues and you have to breathe it daily. Rhonda adds, "The law of attraction has been called the law of love, because the law itself is a gift of love to humanity. It is the law by which we can create incredible lives for ourselves. The more love we feel this love, the greater our power is to create a magnificent life of love, joy, and harmony."

Perhaps you're saying, "but how does that get me paid, how does it keep me qualified, and how does it pay my electric bill?"

Good question.

If you're going to build an organization of your own, the living masters have long confirmed that you won't do it on emptiness. You also won't sustain that downline long if you can't develop and sustain your relationships. That's because..., once you find a system that delivers consistent profits (hint)..., you'll need the Law of Attraction to draw the real powerhouses to you.

Trust me. If you take action, this will happen. There's no doubt about it.

Q & A For MLM'ers

Welcome Back Fellow MLM'ers,

I'd like to address a big concern many network marketers face when growing a downline.

Q & A For MLM'ers

Some ask me, "So if only half of my downline has a personalized website, what do I do for the other half?"

I'm going to tell you two things:

Self-replicated (corporate) websites do one thing and one thing only for your MLM.

1) They position an upline
2) They edify the company

(Bonus) --

3) Oh yes. They make the company big money.

That's pretty much it.

Think about it.

If you've got the same "players" (who look mighty good onstage) appearing over and over again in some flashy, printed magazine, what will that do for you and your business?

Probably not much.

You see -- when it comes to moving any product, service or even your business opportunity (not that I recommend you start out by doing this), it's all about one thing.

Customers, whether they are suspects or prospects, want one thing and one thing only. They want to you, and they want to be like you.

So what do people care about if they haven't belonged to an MLM (or worse, they've belonged to 3, 4 or 5)..., and you're fast approaching them?

They only care about what's in it for themselves.

So...lead with your product and tell them what's beneficial if they consume your flagship product.

And...forget the replicated corporate websites. That only burns a hole in your wallet.

That's it.

In future posts, I talk more about how you can find people who already have a need, desire and want for what you have to offer so stay tuned.
I'm showing you what's key.

Put your name in writing.

Only advertise yourself.

Speak from your life experience and build yourself into your successful business, showcasing only you.

That's classic marketing, pure and simple.

MLM Script & Owning Your Presentation

Welcome Back Fellow MLM'ers,

Today, I bring you a second post that's very important.

First, I talk about the use of a proper prospecting script and tell you specifically why it is so important,...

Second, then I bring you a FREEBIE. This freebie is attached to creating your own presentation.

You see..., when you're starting out, you don't need heavy, starter costs.

You do need time to formulate business plan you can live by (like what kind of a business entity will you become: Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) or an S-Corporation or a C-Corporation..., where will you principally conduct business (your office or basement), and what do you need to set up your business without going broke? It's basic things like that.

Well -- it's no different when you're planning your earliest messages. You need to find a way to bring people to you...instead of chasing them.

And..., this is the part that stumped me a decade ago. You need to know HOW to talk to people.

What I mean by that is, you need:

A) A Solid Prospecting Script

If you're entirely new to MLM and you really didn't get a chance to build any MLM recruiting skills, that's okay.

A script does a few things for you: 1) it keeps your communication very smooth, 2) it allows you to specifically measure precisely how well you're talking to people from person-to-person...,and 3) it's something you can use to develop your own targeted message.

You want a script that will only talk to a certain group of targeted people. Forget about addressing the entire world. In business, 1% is the target average for any audience, regardless of whatever the product or service will be.

B) You Need Your Own Presentation Call

C) You Need A Way To Record Your Call

Let's Get Down To Brass Tacks..., Chances Are:

* you have scripts already
* the scripted message doesn't position YOU
* these scripts position the company or some big whig 'other than yourself'

If you don't have any scripts in hand, see if you can't get your hands on some corporate material you can roughly adapt...say... from a fellow MLM buddy. You need to be able to basically modify that script, telling people who and what you're basically about.

EX:

Hi..., I'm so-and-so calling you from my home office. Is this a good time to visit with you for a few moments? Well...I see you're like me, a fellow joint pain sufferer. I've been an athlete most of my adult life, and I can say that not being able to take care of my children or grandchildren very well isn't very fun. That's why I've come across something so amazing that you'll never guess how easily I was able to replace my regular joint cremes or joint meds for less than a cup of tea per day. Your script could read something like that.

Then your script has to draw them further into your message to do a few additional things.

In your script, you want to avoid things that:

1) Position anyone other than yourself

Just take out the name of the person the corporate office put there.

2) Send prospects away from you

If you see a corporate number listed in your script, just take it out.

You want to include your contact information, number, and place where you can be reached.

3) You want to tell people about one prime benefit your product or service will do.

Is it credit relief?

Or..., it is relief from those joint aches?

Could it be paying less for travel?

Pick a main benefit people will really want to know more about, but stick with one benefit to keep things simple. That way, you're not giving away too much information and you're not losing your audience.

This benefit (not to be confused with product features) must address a current pain or need.

Then Include --

4) A.I.D.A:

Your script must include A.I.D.A. in order to work.

It must...grab their attention...long enough for you to figure out whether they would qualify for your product/service...

And..,

It must hold their interest long enough for you to give them a next step --like going to a recorded or live call. That way, you can stimulate their interest to move them into decision.

This decision would involve getting some type of commmittment from them such as joining you in a corporate presentation where they would meet you there for product exposure ONLY so that you can close them on the deal.

Warning -- Only take yourself to a corporate presentation when you have a prospect accompanying you. That's the only real purpose for using this approach. Otherwise, skip these meetings. You really don't need them if you're especially interested in the idea that you can move online.

Warning -- Don't lead with the opportunity because more prospects have been lost that way, and don't turn your prospect over to an upline. Just give that prospect time to experience your products, and let him/her choose from there. If they use the product for 6 months and they find that they're crazy about its usage, then they may approach you on the business opportunity. At that time, you're then armed.

Be sure to tell your prospect what they can reasonably expect to receive benefit-wise when they look at and purchase your offering.

Your script is sort of the same thing. It should inspire a decision to head...say...your recorded presentation call! Yes..., I'm not kidding here. Hang tight until the end of this post and I'll give you a FREEBIE as thanks for giving me your precious time.

This presentation should tell the prospect how they can cleary obtain more information about this amazing chance to heal ...say ...joint pain, and it should mention how they can get back in touch with you to start 'joint pain relief' today.

Make your call memorable by encouraging that prospect to follow up with you now because you're only taking the first 5 callers who call you back. You see?

And..., if that prospect happens to be the 4th or 5th final caller, you'll toss in a free 30-minute consultation. You've just added some FREE incentive for that person to take action with you.

Okay. Now let's get to the FREEBIE. I promised you something that would make you ooh and ahh.

Did you know that you can get your own free conference line? You can. If you're anything like me, I was thrilled to know this resource existed.
