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!

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!

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 --
openyourkimono.com
slapmyfacebook.org
dropyourdraws.com
hospitalgown.net
privatezone.org
looselipssinkships.net
caughtwithhandincookiejar.com
leakyfaucets.net
majorinformationleak.org
openfly.com
drippinghose.com
flexandbend.net
