Welcome Back Fellow Network Marketing Associates!
Hello. Happy 2012!
Thanks for visiting me here today.
While some of you are in a hurry to move your MLM, please allow me to share this reality with you. Take your time. Find out what your company is really doing. Set a monthly limit on what you buy from your MLM. Don't let anyone in your company pressure you into purchasing their 1) corporate websites..., 2) their systems...3) a garage full of products you can't yet move.
One of the biggest questions I get from a lot of people is this --
"Barbara..., So What's Affiliate Marketing?"
Affliate marketing is a way of putting the consumer in touch with a product. Affiliate marketing is one way of moving products, but there are larger numbers of people who use many different marketing methods. Methods vary based on the type of audience that's being reached...where that audience predominantly resides (how people tap into information), and how that audience will be grown by individuals/companies.
1) Affiliate marketing is NOT all there is.
If you are researching what affiliate marketing might mean to you, but you are confused about what it entails, keep your wallet on ice! Do NOT run a random search online because you'll be found by major gurus promising you the moon. Some deliver. Many do not. I touch on this core reality across my blogs...simply because there are people out there who want one thing from you -- your money.
2) There are offline marketing methods.
3) There are offline/online marketing methods designed to advertise...say a movie star or a rock star or say...a department store...or an individual. Their methods may/may not use affiliate marketing, depending on the way they're growing their businesses moving their wares. Mainly, those folks create their own products and they create their own affiliate systems to move their stuff.
Companies may not have full market reach so they pay other people online commissions for connecting consumers with products. That's pretty much the skinny.
4) Common ways of advertising what you most likely purchase happen through --
A) paid offline ads
B) paid online ads
C) free offline ads
D) free online ads
It's obvious...and it's not. If you are a frequent purchaser, and you have not operated your own business before, it can be tricky to shift your mind in owner mindset ways. That's because this kind of thinking usually has to be modeled and taught.
What you're looking at are ads. You stop purchasing at higher levels to just see what's happening.
5) To understand what I'm saying regardless of whether it's affiliate marketing...MLM marketing...or just paid ads, spend a year doing nothing but looking at these things ----
* ad copy -- the simple sentences you see on magazine covers
* ad copy -- simple content you see appearing in articles
* ad copy -- store signs
* ad copy -- book titles and book reviews
* ad copy -- MLM flyers and other handouts
* ad copy -- affiliate online headlines
Are you seeing something appearing obviously?
All purchasing is emotional.
So don't get roped into the idea that affiliate marketing is different from MLM marketing...or standard business advertising.
IT'S ALL THE SAME THING
I'll prove it.
How does marketing essentially work?
* You put your image (photo) online
* Go into the social networks
* Pick up a free blogger.com blog and start writing about some subject that really gets your juices flowing (it has to be something that keeps you very excited day after day...and no...I'm not talking about sex).
Your topic could be clothing...or shoes...or a specific vitamin regimen designed to alter acidic PH levels in the body...
Or...refortify calcium levels...
Or...reduce aging and sun-spots...
Or...make yourself more attractive to the opposite (or same) sex...whichever may be your preference....
Or...cure toenail fungus.
_________
The Point Is --
Human beings have needs based on immediate problems.
No matter how you package it, a solution can be re-designed and re-stated...
but it's all the same in the final end... people helping people.
__________
WHAT ABOUT SPIRITUAL STUFF?
That's another topic for another day...but if you sat in your heart for any length of time...you would eventually see that much of what we think is real in this world is actually an illusion....save for true love.
That is a topic that can only be addressed from within. As far as I know, very few human beings know what this is as long as they motivate from egotistical levels. Even then, if you master the mindset connected to this audience, you can move true love.
I'll stop there. There's plenty of content to examine, process, and understand.
Feel free to post your comments, and suggestions. Because the Internet is a massive subject, there are massive areas of online learning split into mastered arenas. I can't possibly cover every minor detail on my blogs or I'd be 120 years old.

Purpose of Blog, Quick 2012 Update
Welcome Back Fellow Home Based Business Marketers!
In the course of locating any of my blogs, you will find content varying. Reasons for this have more to do with speaking to the direct of needs of any given audience.
Because we are now in the year of 2012, you will find many interesting and powerful people speaking out in earnest.
The purest hearts seek to connect to you to show you your true power.
The main assumption governing all communications will be to mirror back your grandeur for purposes of helping you find your true power.
The key to making this world a better place is to grab hands, work together, pull in many ideas, and find the highest solutions. In so doing, we turn on the metaphoric light switch to create the best solutions for all.
Here's what you're looking for whenever you tap into any online resource:
If you are here to network, feel free to refer to many of the resources I've established for you. They are here for your safe use.
If you are here to make friends, I have been attracting pure hearts in this place...from all over the globe. We pull in highest ethics designed to assist you in your upliftment and success. This is done so in a ready effort to usher in a New Economy (without baloney).
If you are here to research what's involved in potentially starting a business for yourself online, here's what you want to look for:
1) Drawing to you a decent group of knowledgeable people who will be available and who will mirror back to you your highest self (true power)
2) Connect with those who will never distort, omit, control, or remove empowered content
3) Incorporate very high honesty and integrity
4) Emphasize steady patience ...avoiding short term approaches
5) Network
6) Employ ultimate truth...you can feel when something isn't right...so always trust your gut
7) Access information systems, educational help, and networks who value what they do
8) Tap into resources passing the test of time
9) Make decisions leading to you informed choosing and responsible purchasing
10) Discover/create caring realities designed to bring you sustainability and reasonable business growth.
As in all things, I will never encourage you to work a billion or trillion dollar blueprint. Pick a level you can sustain, enjoy, and share.
Money is energy. If you misuse either, it will be taken from you...not by others but by your higher self.
Work together.
Know that any content you access over time is replaced by better content leveraging a higher consciousness. As humanity evolves, so do business and personal ethics.
Be in charge of your life. Know that you create your reality by holding a specific set of thoughts, and by taking "right-minded action".
Diligence and a strong, steady belief in yourself are everything.
If you don't feel worthy about one or many beliefs, persist until you find out what the most positive statements will be. HINT: Take your negative thoughts and restate them in positive terms.
____________________________
With these statements carefully made, any of my blogs will do one major thing --
Put you in best charge of your future.
Anything you don't like can be changed for the better. Anytime you hit resistance, it is your higher self's way of saying "push on another door because this one isn't working". Set your intent. Take a small step forward, no matter how small it appears. Tiny steps add up to more change than you could currently imagine. Your Spirit will always put your best interests at heart.
Please post your comments on any of my blogs. It matters not which realm of influence you live in. or move from. The Internet is here, and it is designed to put information at your fingertips for far less than you would imagine. You will not be limited to an online environment. What you learn here can translate into offline success. The two will blend.
I am moving in directions of merging all content online. Because you have been taught from childhood to view life in one way mainly -- buying...and consumerism. There are those online who value individual success at highest levels, and we are here to help you shift in creative, producer-oriented ways. This is a major shift in mindset, in that you must therefore be taught to value what you already know. It is also very possible to take your most basic interests by turning them into real profits.
The goal amongst some I access online do one thing -- help you find your center and help you create the life you deem most appropriate.
You do not have to be owned by anyone. You are a free entity...loved in ways you could not possibly see right now.
If you click on some articles and see that they are either missing... they are being updated, require further revision, and are connected to some links which no longer sppear, it is because these links are not sponsored by other individuals, or more.
My blogs do one thing: help you harness the power of the Internet in ways you could not presently imagine. What worked 3 years ago does not necessarily apply to today. That is true because Google is changing so much of what it requires. Some content varies as per individual/group mindset alteration.

Why You Want Your Own Website, 7 Primary Considerations
Welcome Home-Based Business Owners!
Today's post covers something fundamental to building your home-based business. Let's discuss why you want your own website and what it will mean to you as a business owner. In quick and very simple terms -- a website can translate into success. There are more ingredients involved in building and managing a successful site, but let's stick with the 7 main reasons why you need a website. This is another conclusion to prior posts covering details about why corporate websites aren't best for you.
1) Google loves it when you have your own thing.
A website is no different. You don't have to be a techno-wizard to build something even for free so in this post, I will talk about what you want to look out for when you use free site builders like blogger.com and wordpress.com before moving into small or even massive website building.
You can start playing with content in a niche of your interest and choice. Make certain that whatever you promote, you really love doing it.
* If you start with Blogger.com, keep in mind that Google owns this domain so any content you post here will not be exclusively owned by you UNLESS you later transfer your best content over to your eventual website.
NOTE: It's better to take action than to stall. You can always apply your efforts elsewhere, once you get your feet wet with blogger.
2) Google loves it when you have your own unique content.
Because content is the driving force for your business, it has the power to draw people to you based on some matched need. They want something you have that you will later offer. When content helps people today, it carries real weight.
Building your own blog as a mini-starter site is a great way to get your business going online because it gives you early power over your publishing. This is where you can build your following, but I will tell you that it takes patience and lots of work to see first results.
Many online businesses publish their own content because it's also a great way to connect to inquiring audiences, give Google what they want (unique content), and pave the way for what will later be your published website.
You want a following in place by the time you get your site running...because there are some smaller costs associated with maintaining a full website (hosting and domain name registration).
3) If you use a corporate website for an MLM or for an affiliate program (online), the day will come where you will want a customized site. This is true because you have full power over what appears and doesn't appear on that site.
If you use Wordpress.com (FREE)..., keep in mind that Wordpress owns this domain so any content you publish here falls under their ownership. That doesn't mean that you can't transfer your best content over to your later website.
4) You want to be careful not to hit people over the head with too many offers whenever you're using these two free sites because Google and Wordpress have the ability to cancel your account in the event you violate their publishing rules.
Be certain to read the terms and conditions of what you can and should not post over inside of blogger.com and wordpress.com. That way, you can still test early content, get your publishing feet wet, build a starter following, and later alter your articles to reflect your most current ideas (and know-how).
It is for these main reasons that you want to consider owning your own website. It is about positioning yourself as the sole authority, marketing freely generic products/services appearing under your name, and building a longer-term business. You can do this with your MLM as long as you don't violate trademarked services or mention specific product names. I've talked about this fact before.
5) It's easier to include links to affiliate products and MLM items on a website of your own when you write the content yourself. You can also hire people to write content for you, but whatever you do, you will first have to set up a general domain targeting the niche of your choice.
EXAMPLE:
Network Marketing With Barbara.com
That could be one domain name. It's general enough to keep your domain open so that you can place various products/services under that domain, but it's not so specific that you're only targeting a narrowly-focused niche showcasing only 1 or 2 products. That's one school of thought.
If you are new to online marketing, it's best to start with 1, 2, or 3 basic products for starters. If you're marketing your MLM, then you would place no more than these 3 items on your eventual website. That is another school of thought that works very well for beginners.
If you are using the free blogger or wordpress, you can talk about some of the things network marketers will want to read about like how to set up a winning presentation, or you could talk about how to get your own free conference line.
You can keep blogging content general, but remember to reserve and protect your most sensitive content for your website (self-hosted) because this is the place where you'll directly be paid.
6) WordPress.org
As I've mentioned WordPress in prior blog posts, WordPress.org is a popular blogging platform online marketers use today. The reason why that is true is because marketers of all types can get the ease of blogging but build business benefits from the look and feel of the website -- hosted under a private domain.
7) When you have the ability to publish content appearing online under your name, you have the ability to now generate your own following.
This is the biggest reason why corporate websites will NOT work in your favor. Corporate policy (whether it's network marketing or affiliate marketing) limit you to what you can and can't do. Most of the print you read on these sites is set. You might be able to alter your profile a little bit, but if you ever leave your MLM or major affiliate, you want the flexibility to include other products/services while carrying your list along with you. It stands to reason that you won't have the ability to add other things to a corporate site pre-determined for you.
The bottom line is this. It's ALWAYS in your best business interest to build your own following separately from what corporations do, and you can do that best by owning your own website. Besides, the top dogs do this so why shouldn't you?
If you have any questions and would like to know more about how you can transition your business online, feel free to leave me a comment...or you can easily join my Insider Newsletter addressing Network Marketing needs. I am re-writing the free report at this time, but you can still leave your information with me. I never sell my lists to anyone, and your information will be kept safe.

Why Corporate Websites Aren't The Way To Go: 3 Follow-Up Insights
Welcome Back Fellow Home-Based Business Owners!
First off -- I'm thrilled you're here. There's nothing more profound than writing the ultimate truth about why you are already powerful. My job is to kindly mirror it back to you so you can realize what I SEE. I can do this because I spent 23 years guiding 6,000 senior instructors in the martial arts under my acting collar. So...yes...this is about masterful living while working your own business (lived on your own terms).
Secondly -- Companies are wonderful when you know precisely how to leverage their power, BUT...for the vast majority of wonderful people out there, they have no idea where to begin. I'll clarify.
Follow-Up Insight #1: Have you ever heard of affiliate marketing?
Here's what it is...and it fits into network marketing in ways you've not been taught.
You see...in your network marketing companies, you're taught to market THEM in very specific ways. This is fine if you're seasoned and you have your own large following..., BUT if you're absolutely new to the online world (or you're even new to the concept of MLM offline), you will most likely NOT know where to begin. It's even the same way if you're working as an employee for a company, and they're pushing you hard to build THEIR LIST.
And.., it's not your fault.
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WORKS AGAINST YOU
I will tell you more.
You see...aside from network marketing companies who do manufacture some astounding products, there are ...department stores that have affiliate marketing departments. What this means for you as a potential "work from home business owner" is that the world can be your oyster.
It can.
But...there is a learning curve. It's the learning curve that holds many people back, and naturally so.
It doesn't have to be that way.
With great love, care, research, and 5 years of my own intensive work, I have learned that you have more options at your fingertips.
FOLLOW-UP INSIGHT #2: YOU CAN ENTIRELY GET PAID RIGHT FROM HOME
People don't know that this reality is true if they haven't been taught how to properly harness technology. That's a major challenge for ...say...99% of people who even know how to basically use a computer. But..., the good news is that there are more tools online that can take the hassle out of creating a website! 5 years ago, it was a real struggle.
So if you adore your MLM products, you:
* can move MLM if you want...,
but you must have a solid system in place needed to build that organization and manage it
* can move products from almost any store that has it's own affiliate program
* can do a combination of both
* can pull in other paid strategies online
* can use various mediums to get the word out
I cite Facebook, videos, to name a few
BUT...,
That's why traditional corporate MLM websites and even regular firms managing their workforce from an under-utilized perspective are not necessarily operating with your success in mind. They serve themselves, have done so, and will always do so. Proof is now in the pudding as Americans are asked to look hard at the GDP (gross-domestic product and output). For every dollar we borrow to buy imports, we own less than .41 cents outright. That means that we're consuming more than we output as a nation...and other nations are not necessarily guaranteeing that they're going to reinvest fully in us -- China for one. Sure...China participates...but not at the level our government is asking (as I cite global agreements). This is today's news as our government is asking China to step up further to the plate. They're resisting..., you could say.
HERE'S MORE
If you head over to Commission Junction, just Google it. It's one of the largest affiliate networks online. This network moves tangible products...like things you can hold in your hands. There's Google Affiliate Network. There's Link Share. Pull in the power of these 3 major sites, and you're leveraging the power of these networks to advertise your site!
SEASONED MARKETERS KNOW
If you learn affiliate marketing...and some basic Internet marketing, plus toss in a blend of other marketing techniques you can later add to your websites, you'll make far more profits than if you were just working a corporate site for a very small commission! I cite the meager % MLM's and even some affiliates offer.
Never accept less than 65%. You're gonna work like the dickins to earn it!
But..in the event you're still not sure about what I'm saying here.
HERE'S MORE PROOF
See if you can Google one of your most favorite department stores. I work in one for weekly fun and for continued cash flow while I work the Internet marketing for my ultimate passion. I'm building an infrastructure to support greater business online and it's not going to be a nosebleed site. Think NETWORK of sites you own! So you could say that my ultimate passion fits into department store work...BUT NOT AT THE LEVEL YOU'VE TRADITIONALLY BEEN TAUGHT. Sure..I build the department store list (database)...but they don't even have the courage to pay employees what they're really worth! Databases generate millions a year. They won't even pay an associate $1.00 for every name they capture.
But..., Here's HOW you can become an affiliate...going beyond nosebleed commissions.
Think about ...Cabella's.
Chances are that they have their own affiliate program.
AFFILIATE MARKETING IS THIS
By pure definition, affiliate marketing means that you put up a site either in your own alias name (not your real name) or in a domain name that markets ...say..."cabella's for less".
The products that are not moved by traditional department store sales make it possible for marketers online to move reduced cost merchandise!
Did you know that?
It's taken me several years to really understand how this kind of marketing works.
BUT....,
FOLLOW-UP INSIGHT #3: YOU OWN THE SITE...AND YOU KEEP MOST COMMISSIONS
In affiliate marketing, all you have to do is drive traffic to your generic site showcasing Cabella's discount products for less. It sounds easier than it is. Whenever you're learning something new, it can be like pulling out your hair, one strand at a time.
BUT..., anything worth having means working for...and you're the one who can do it!
So in affiliate marketing, you become the source who connects people to what they're already looking for and ready to buy.
You get a bigger cut when you send traffic (inquiring minds) to your site. They read the content that gives them access to "product comparisons", "reviews"....and more.
It's simple content designed to connect the consumer to whatever they're looking for at a good cost AND to the store that would otherwise not move past season merchandise.
If the store isn't moving the merchandise, you're doing it through their systematic feeds. They sell some of the tools...like data packs (that help you get your site up and running and optimized by Google's standards). You find the traffic.
BEST PART IS
In some affiliate programs, you can get paid anywhere from 65% - 100% of the commissions!
Are you starting to see other possibilities?
I hope so. That's why I am here.
IF I CAN HELP HARD-WORKING PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY WANT FROM HOME....WHAT COULD BE SWEETER? So...yes...there are hard-working, honest, ethical people online training ahead of you to help you get where you want to go...because we know by NATURAL LAW...that if we do the right thing for all involved, everyone will be that much more profitable...sooner.
It is the honest-to-goodness truth.
How you know that I am telling you the ultimate truth is that your heart will remain open.
If I falsify ANY information, your chest will constrict.
So...I am here for profit. You are here for profit, and it SHOULD BE that way.
We don't just move affiliate products.
We layer our marketing to do much, much more. Never before in the history of mankind have we had such an opportunity! This is true because the Internet IS levelling the playing field for individuals...and yes...large companies are a bit nervous.
If corporations haven't served the public from the best of places, they know who they are. There are also companies who have done their level best to uphold the public good. They know who they are.
BUT...as New Economy business unfolds in this year of 2011..., there will come a time where companies not really helping individuals all too well will begin to feel the affects of their choices. I say this with care and respect.
It's the Law of the Land....Cause and Effect at Work.
Call it a time now fast approaching where individuals will have more choices available to them then ever before.
That's why your traditional network marketing companies aren't the hottest choice for you.
I'll explain a bit further.
You see..., if you haven't been shown how to build a small site and write content the public will be clamouring to read, it's gonna throw you for a loop.
That's because you have been trained to view life in specific ways...pretty much since childhood. What I'm suggesting here is that ALL of us have been trained to view life in certain ways...consistent with what large corporations have programmed into us... to ensure their high profits.
So...as individuals, if we don't ever question all that we've been raised with, we can't see the forest through the trees.
POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS QUESTION EVERYTHING
Now...I will NOT suggest that we're creating anarchy. That's not what New Economy business is about.
It's about....1) companies collaborating for greater market reach and profit..., 2) it's about companies getting real about training their people better..., and 3) it's about everyone profiting much more handsomely than ever before!
Think about it.
If you had the chance to level the playing field more honorably (where many people could benefit from their hard-work), and you cut out much of the greed-based decision making, what would that do to corporations?
Yup. It would have to mean that people on Capital Hill will have to stop running government the way they have -- which has been really crazy and representative of only the key players (who have the gold). Mark my word. The time will come where politicians will no longer be able to distort the content to fit corporate need. We're already seeing a shift along these lines.
So..., I"m sharing powerful, powerful information here with you to say that corporate decision-makers know what I'm saying. They're going to have to clean up their acts if they're going to transition into business another 50 years. They just don't teach what I'm saying here.
But..., if the playing field dropped just a bit (at CEO and upper executive levels)...in order to better serve the masses somewhat more completely...watch for it. It's going to have to happen if we're going to pay for our houses these next 20 years and beyond. So...yes...you'd see a drop in the profitable standard of living for the ones who've been at the top for so long that it's no longer even laughable. We have a very tiny percentage of MLM'ers who make obscene $$ every month...more than you could make in a lifetime..., and they're worried that their old business methods are working less and less.
BILLIONAIRE REALITY
Consider...the billionaire template.
You may not know it exists...but it does.
Billionaires know --- GET EVERYTHING FOR NOTHING!
They actively teach it. Yeah -- they give you gold watches for 20 years of service. They give you parking spots when you become employee of the month. They give you certificates for good performance..., and just once...I've asked even the multi-millionaires..."stop expecting people to give you the moon" when you should just pay individuals "only a little bit more". It's not going to kill these people!
But..., if they've been living largely in fear..., they're not going to let go of a foothold they've long held. They won't.
FOLLOW-UPINSIGHT: BONUS
So they fear you learning what's needed to "BUILD YOUR OWN CLIENT LIST"...because you will no longer need to live your life according to their game plans.
I will apologize in advance if this post reads a bit too harsh. That's not what this is about.
I'm just saying...."Enough is enough!" "Slavery was abolished a long time ago, folks!"
IT'S YOUR TURN NOW
So...if you easily accept (and swallow) the corporate programming they've been jamming down our throats for a very long time, you will eventually begin to lift the blinders.
You will eventually begin to view life in a VERY different way.
The only reason why I can write this content is that I KNOW IT BY HEART...AND BY DIRECT EXPERIENCE.
I have learned in franchising...by operating my own martial arts school that the NATURAL LAW ALREADY SUPPORTS YOU!
That means...that if you take your power...and find the courage to become your own business force in the world, no company on Earth can prevent you from creating your success! They cannot.
This includes any department store that would not openly tell their associates about affiliate marketing.
It happens all the time.
I'll stop there and let you digest what I'm saying.
I've been prepared for this role long before I got here. I live with great excitement for your success! There's nothing sweeter than showing people their true power...the power that's separate from the baloney we've been fed at kids!
You will know what I"m saying if you feel excitement in your heart right now....because it's the solemn truth!
Please feel free to offer your comments/suggestions for additional content. Because I cannot read your mind, there is no way for me to know precisely where you're coming from. That means...based on the level of marketing experience and prowess you inherently possess, there are success blueprints online that already exist!
They have been proven and written to support you.
The key is to find what's going to work for you...based ON WHAT YOU DEMAND..., not what others say you should have.

P.S. Stay tuned. I have so much proven information to share with you that I don't know where to begin. You'll have to guide me. If you want to know what to put on a blog so that Google will love you, then tell me. If you want to know how to write your own articles, then tell me. If you want to know what absolutely has to go on a website so that people and Google will love you, I can provide that too!
First off -- I'm thrilled you're here. There's nothing more profound than writing the ultimate truth about why you are already powerful. My job is to kindly mirror it back to you so you can realize what I SEE. I can do this because I spent 23 years guiding 6,000 senior instructors in the martial arts under my acting collar. So...yes...this is about masterful living while working your own business (lived on your own terms).
Secondly -- Companies are wonderful when you know precisely how to leverage their power, BUT...for the vast majority of wonderful people out there, they have no idea where to begin. I'll clarify.
Follow-Up Insight #1: Have you ever heard of affiliate marketing?
Here's what it is...and it fits into network marketing in ways you've not been taught.
You see...in your network marketing companies, you're taught to market THEM in very specific ways. This is fine if you're seasoned and you have your own large following..., BUT if you're absolutely new to the online world (or you're even new to the concept of MLM offline), you will most likely NOT know where to begin. It's even the same way if you're working as an employee for a company, and they're pushing you hard to build THEIR LIST.
And.., it's not your fault.
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WORKS AGAINST YOU
I will tell you more.
You see...aside from network marketing companies who do manufacture some astounding products, there are ...department stores that have affiliate marketing departments. What this means for you as a potential "work from home business owner" is that the world can be your oyster.
It can.
But...there is a learning curve. It's the learning curve that holds many people back, and naturally so.
It doesn't have to be that way.
With great love, care, research, and 5 years of my own intensive work, I have learned that you have more options at your fingertips.
FOLLOW-UP INSIGHT #2: YOU CAN ENTIRELY GET PAID RIGHT FROM HOME
People don't know that this reality is true if they haven't been taught how to properly harness technology. That's a major challenge for ...say...99% of people who even know how to basically use a computer. But..., the good news is that there are more tools online that can take the hassle out of creating a website! 5 years ago, it was a real struggle.
So if you adore your MLM products, you:
* can move MLM if you want...,
but you must have a solid system in place needed to build that organization and manage it
* can move products from almost any store that has it's own affiliate program
* can do a combination of both
* can pull in other paid strategies online
* can use various mediums to get the word out
I cite Facebook, videos, to name a few
BUT...,
That's why traditional corporate MLM websites and even regular firms managing their workforce from an under-utilized perspective are not necessarily operating with your success in mind. They serve themselves, have done so, and will always do so. Proof is now in the pudding as Americans are asked to look hard at the GDP (gross-domestic product and output). For every dollar we borrow to buy imports, we own less than .41 cents outright. That means that we're consuming more than we output as a nation...and other nations are not necessarily guaranteeing that they're going to reinvest fully in us -- China for one. Sure...China participates...but not at the level our government is asking (as I cite global agreements). This is today's news as our government is asking China to step up further to the plate. They're resisting..., you could say.
HERE'S MORE
If you head over to Commission Junction, just Google it. It's one of the largest affiliate networks online. This network moves tangible products...like things you can hold in your hands. There's Google Affiliate Network. There's Link Share. Pull in the power of these 3 major sites, and you're leveraging the power of these networks to advertise your site!
SEASONED MARKETERS KNOW
If you learn affiliate marketing...and some basic Internet marketing, plus toss in a blend of other marketing techniques you can later add to your websites, you'll make far more profits than if you were just working a corporate site for a very small commission! I cite the meager % MLM's and even some affiliates offer.
Never accept less than 65%. You're gonna work like the dickins to earn it!
But..in the event you're still not sure about what I'm saying here.
HERE'S MORE PROOF
See if you can Google one of your most favorite department stores. I work in one for weekly fun and for continued cash flow while I work the Internet marketing for my ultimate passion. I'm building an infrastructure to support greater business online and it's not going to be a nosebleed site. Think NETWORK of sites you own! So you could say that my ultimate passion fits into department store work...BUT NOT AT THE LEVEL YOU'VE TRADITIONALLY BEEN TAUGHT. Sure..I build the department store list (database)...but they don't even have the courage to pay employees what they're really worth! Databases generate millions a year. They won't even pay an associate $1.00 for every name they capture.
But..., Here's HOW you can become an affiliate...going beyond nosebleed commissions.
Think about ...Cabella's.
Chances are that they have their own affiliate program.
AFFILIATE MARKETING IS THIS
By pure definition, affiliate marketing means that you put up a site either in your own alias name (not your real name) or in a domain name that markets ...say..."cabella's for less".

Why Corporate Websites Aren't the Way To Go
Welcome Fellow Online Entrepreneurs,
Happy New Year, 2011 ! It's been sometime since my last post (September 2010). I have been publishing a lot of online marketing content assisting other aspiring business owners at the e-commerce level. In today's post, I'm going to talk about 2 things:
1) Why major corporations DO NOT share what they do.
2) Why corporate websites are NOT in your best interests as an online business owner (showcasing the company on their behalf...at your expense).
Let's start with point #1 -- Companies Not Sharing What They Have Long Mastered
I publish content like this every week inside of an Internet marketing university so I'd like to give you "insider secrets", and no...I don't cut/paste someone else's content. I write to you through my very own fingers with no other voices dictating what should have been shared long ago. We now move into 2011 and into 2012...where old leaders fear new ones (that would be you as a potential). So...by knowing what large companies do, you are better empowered to embrace your fears in favor of active, forward, successful movement.
Rule #1: Never Use the Corporate Site
I've hammered this concept into fellow MLM'ers I dearly love before. The corporate site does one thing.
It takes your money. That's about it. It's like a dead horse lying in the field unnoticed by traffic. I'll apologize if there are any horse lovers in this audience. I'm only using a metaphor to describe what these sites do for you..., the hopeful entrepreneur online.
These are called self-replicating websites and there are a million of them out there. Ask yourself this Q..., if you're not sure what I'm suggesting.
If Google loves fresh, new content that's regularly updated..., appearing on websites that are varied and different to bring consumers exciting new ways of consuming whatever they need, then these sites are not the cat's meow. They don't even come close to delivering the uniqueness you need in order to get noticed. So why would you want to pay for a corporate website that will only appear in hundreds and hundreds of other distributor hands? Think along those lines and you'll be ready to learn more.
Self-Replicating Websites Are Like 100,000 Images of the Same Photo (Appearing Online)
Google gets this. So what Google does is rate your site only according to the value of the corporate site. If the main corporate site gets major traffic, your site will move traffic to that site anytime your prospects click on your site. You have just positioned the company unknowingly.
So... what these sites do...other than look the same from distributor to distributor is:
1) Again... showcase the corporation -- NOT YOUR E-BUSINESS...
2) Showcase the main players -- NOT YOU. It's their true loss but they refuse to look at you as a "future powerhouse in development"...
3) It showcases their products -- NOT YOURS...
4) When these sites involve your name in small, limited print, you're spending your hard-earned money promoting them. They get virtually FREE advertising If you write any articles publishing the company name, you have just moved prospects to their site.
So the goal here is to get you into the mindset CEO's maintain. CEO's DO NOT give their power away to anyone! Not a single soul.
YOU ARE YOUR OWN SPECIAL FORCE IN THE WORLD.
YOU DO NOT NEED A CORPORATE WEBSITE TO BUILD YOUR OWN CLIENT LIST.
Rule #2: Build Your Own List
I've hammered this point out many times. I hope it's coming out of peoples' ears because I really dislike seeing individuals rubbed out of profitable competition "simply because they cannot know" until the truth is fully told. That brings us to the point of --- WHY major corporations DO NOT share what they know.
Ask yourself --
"What's the most valuable stuff any business possesses"?
Wouldn't it be the contact list?
Okay. If you like that idea. Now fathom what would happen to your life if you could learn to build your own list without giving those names away to some other CEO sitting at the top of a major corporation?
Consider major department stores, for example. What's their "quiet secret"? It's proof sitting right in front of your very eyes every time you buy something from an online department store site. What's on that site besides....products? Isn't there a place for you to leave your contact information?
Yes. You've got it.
Here's the insider secret. Get ready. So if you're an individual coming online and you're sincerely willing to work for what is part of your own Divine Right (to health, wealth, and full life), who says you can't build your own list?
No one.
You got it. There's no law against any individual building their own contact list, and NO..., you don't have to get permission from any company to do this. As long as you stay neutral from naming specific branded products, you can market a product based on the merits that product will bring. Consider weight loss. If people like to lose weight before they get married or before they go to some 20 year reunion, they'll be interested in hearing what you have to offer.
So why would your major MLM say, "the distributor can't go online to promote their business"? Well...look at the fine print. They will tell you that you cannot directly name branded products/services or use trademarks. That's true, but what you can do (using all of your Constitutional Rights) is to market the bennies and offer the value. That's what any CEO will do.
So why does your MLM still object to you marketing yourself online?
They are deathly afraid you'll do what the few at the top have long done -- apply this marketing for yourself.
New Economy Awareness (2012 and Beyond) states, "All will be that much more profitable in the long run by collaborating and sharing industry secrets with other firms", (MBA, University of Phoenix, 2005).
Is it possible that major firms FEAR your success? Well..think about it. With every person showcasing their talents, there's a group of willing buyers for every person out there. And.., there's no shortage...but there is greed.
Ok. So enough has been said along those lines.
Now let's talk about WHY you would be powerful if you really learned what companies did behind "the scenes". AND..., yes...it is a secret.
A) You decided to build your own list
B) You decided to work that crummy job long enough to learn, invest in online learning, and then apply more
C) You'd probably become competition for the ones who should have taught what they knew worked but didn't. It happens. These people are protecting their hill of beans because they are heavily invested in many losing so they can justify their solitary success (or worse....prove that their lives have true meaning).
I'm sorry this reads tough, but in order to get real and successfully active, we have to look at the dirt we've been sweeping under the carpet for too long.
D) As long as individuals DO NOT question what's being touted as "permissible"..., we silently give major profits away to a small percentage of very wealthy folks...while you continue to struggle. It DOES NOT have to be this way!
E) So what are you going to do differently in 2011?
Will you put off your changes another year? Will you reconsider what you've been doing (that hasn't been working)? Will you look for real and viable alternatives already serving those who've bridged the gap?
It's happening....and we're here online...waiting for you to make up your mind so you can actively join us.
It's your time now. What are you going to do with it?

4) When these sites involve your name in small, limited print, you're spending your hard-earned money promoting them. They get virtually FREE advertising If you write any articles publishing the company name, you have just moved prospects to their site.
So the goal here is to get you into the mindset CEO's maintain. CEO's DO NOT give their power away to anyone! Not a single soul.
YOU ARE YOUR OWN SPECIAL FORCE IN THE WORLD.
YOU DO NOT NEED A CORPORATE WEBSITE TO BUILD YOUR OWN CLIENT LIST.
Rule #2: Build Your Own List
I've hammered this point out many times. I hope it's coming out of peoples' ears because I really dislike seeing individuals rubbed out of profitable competition "simply because they cannot know" until the truth is fully told. That brings us to the point of --- WHY major corporations DO NOT share what they know.
Ask yourself --
"What's the most valuable stuff any business possesses"?
Wouldn't it be the contact list?
Okay. If you like that idea. Now fathom what would happen to your life if you could learn to build your own list without giving those names away to some other CEO sitting at the top of a major corporation?
Consider major department stores, for example. What's their "quiet secret"? It's proof sitting right in front of your very eyes every time you buy something from an online department store site. What's on that site besides....products? Isn't there a place for you to leave your contact information?
Yes. You've got it.
Here's the insider secret. Get ready. So if you're an individual coming online and you're sincerely willing to work for what is part of your own Divine Right (to health, wealth, and full life), who says you can't build your own list?
No one.
You got it. There's no law against any individual building their own contact list, and NO..., you don't have to get permission from any company to do this. As long as you stay neutral from naming specific branded products, you can market a product based on the merits that product will bring. Consider weight loss. If people like to lose weight before they get married or before they go to some 20 year reunion, they'll be interested in hearing what you have to offer.
So why would your major MLM say, "the distributor can't go online to promote their business"? Well...look at the fine print. They will tell you that you cannot directly name branded products/services or use trademarks. That's true, but what you can do (using all of your Constitutional Rights) is to market the bennies and offer the value. That's what any CEO will do.
So why does your MLM still object to you marketing yourself online?
They are deathly afraid you'll do what the few at the top have long done -- apply this marketing for yourself.
New Economy Awareness (2012 and Beyond) states, "All will be that much more profitable in the long run by collaborating and sharing industry secrets with other firms", (MBA, University of Phoenix, 2005).
Is it possible that major firms FEAR your success? Well..think about it. With every person showcasing their talents, there's a group of willing buyers for every person out there. And.., there's no shortage...but there is greed.
Ok. So enough has been said along those lines.
Now let's talk about WHY you would be powerful if you really learned what companies did behind "the scenes". AND..., yes...it is a secret.
A) You decided to build your own list
B) You decided to work that crummy job long enough to learn, invest in online learning, and then apply more
C) You'd probably become competition for the ones who should have taught what they knew worked but didn't. It happens. These people are protecting their hill of beans because they are heavily invested in many losing so they can justify their solitary success (or worse....prove that their lives have true meaning).
I'm sorry this reads tough, but in order to get real and successfully active, we have to look at the dirt we've been sweeping under the carpet for too long.
D) As long as individuals DO NOT question what's being touted as "permissible"..., we silently give major profits away to a small percentage of very wealthy folks...while you continue to struggle. It DOES NOT have to be this way!
E) So what are you going to do differently in 2011?
Will you put off your changes another year? Will you reconsider what you've been doing (that hasn't been working)? Will you look for real and viable alternatives already serving those who've bridged the gap?
It's happening....and we're here online...waiting for you to make up your mind so you can actively join us.
It's your time now. What are you going to do with it?
