STARTING A SMALL BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP

Starting a Small Business From the Ground Up

From the housemaid in a small Texas town near the Mexico border to the CEO of a multimilliondollar corporation in the middle of Silicon Valley, all of us at one time or another have dreamed ofopening our own business and making ourselves rich, rather than helping someone else get there.What’s great about today’s business climate is the relative ease with which young and oldAmericans alike, foreigners and natives, college educated and non, can start their own smallbusinesses. If you’ve been dreaming of dropping out of the corporate grind, the minimum wageslavery, or just want to have more control over your destiny, read on for a look at how you toocan become a sterling example of the American dream gone right.

You may be thinking: but I have no money. It takes money to start your own business. This istrue, but seldom to people open their small business with their own money. Fortunately, we live ina country that encourages the entrepreneur, as long as he or she can demonstrate that they knowwhat they’re doing. Banks are perhaps more eager to hand out small business loans than any othertype. There are plenty of government agencies that can also be counted upon to give money to theaspiring small businessman. And then there are venture capitalists and angel investors who maketheir entire living putting money into startup companies in the calculated risk that they will see apositive return on their investment strategy. All you need is a great idea, a solid and completebusiness plan, and the type of personality that can convince those with money to hand it over.

If the business you’re planning to open is in the same field you’ve already been working in, youprobably have a list of contacts already in the field. Now, there are ethical and legal considerationshere. You can’t simply steal clients using inside information you have from working at anothercompany. You can, however, use you contacts in the manufacturing and vending fields to helpyou get started. If you have personal relationships with your customers, there’s nothing wrongwith letting them know you’ll soon be going into business for yourself. If they choose to give yourcompany a shot, you should be in the clear. On the whole, however, it may be best not to go intodirect competition with the company you’ve worked for. You can then use your coworkers andmanagers for help in getting off on the right foot. If your new business is at right angles with thecompany you’re leaving, you may be able to help each other.

Your next step is to research the marketplace. This should be done before anything else. Youhave to know what has worked in your chosen field and what hasn’t. What has been tried beforeand what might make a big splash in the industry. Don’t come to the dance with nothing new tooffer. You can compete on prices, and you can compete on service. But the best form ofcompetition comes in exciting innovation. Think of at least one great idea before you open yourown business. Something no one else has tried. You will set yourself apart right from the start,and sometimes that’s all you need.

STARTING AN ONLINE BUSINESS WITH WHAT YOU KNOW

Starting An Online Business With What You Know

If you are considering starting an online business, before selecting any one business think about all of the products or services you buy online and which ones spark your interest the most. As a basic rule of thumb, if you do not buy it or will not buy it online there is little reason to believe that many more people will buy it. A product that you have used, and are happy with, is probably the best chance for success in starting a home business.

The best way to sell any product is to have a full understanding of why people will buy it, not just that people do buy it, but the reasons they give for offering up their cash to own it. One of the top door-to-door cosmetics companies recruited their sales team not through fancy marketing plans and glitzy advertising, but through the users of their product. Once people became familiar with them and were repeat customers, they were offered the chance to purchase the merchandise at wholesale prices by becoming a distributor.

Many of them jumped at the chance as they could not only save some money on their own products, but could money by selling the great products to friends and neighbors. When you look through offers for online businesses you will want to consider if any of them can meet the same criteria. Is the product something that you personally have a use for and are willing to buy? Is it something your friends and neighbors would be willing to buy from you? Is it a good product at a fair price and has little competition?

If you can answer yes to these three questions, you should probably jump at the opportunity being presented. However, if you cannot envision a market, have no idea what the product does, only that you can make a fortune if someone, somewhere is willing to buy from you, then you will probably end up looking for another line of work. It is important to understand the market for the product and not only how you will make your first sale, but to whom.
How much potential customers are willing to pay for the product will depend on a number of variables, among them the real and perceived need for the product. Consistent hyped advertising often drives up the demand for a product, but once it hits the market if it doesn't meet the customers' expectations, plan on a bunch of returns as well as angry customers. On the other hand, if the market for a specific product is soft and demand is high, it can lead to lots of sales with very little profit.

For example, if you have found an opportunity to sell organic toothpaste that promises to whiten the teeth and eliminate gum disease and cavities, it may sound like a great product. With a price in line with many of the major brands you believe there may be a good market among people between the ages of 40 and 60, but market research also shows that many in that age group are already loyal to other brands and are not likely to change, dropping the price is one option. However, marketing with the objective of grabbing market share can bankrupt a company unless they first create product awareness based on its original price.

FORUM MARKETING NETWORK BUSINESSES FOR THE BEGINNER

Forum Marketing Network Businesses for the Beginner

The numbers of fledgling marketers who take to forum marketing network businesses are legion! Unfortunately, so are also the numbers of marketers who will return to the same forum the next day and when attempting to log in will find out that their forum persona was deleted and accesses as well as posting privileges have been summarily denied. What happened?

Generally speaking, the odds are good that your forum posts were considered spam by enough of the other players that an administrator was contacted who eventually took action and banned you from the network. The fine line that exists between forum marketing network business and spamming is often a heated topic of discussion on said forums themselves and there is no hard and fast answer.

Yet in an effort to make it easier for the newbie, forum marketing network businesses for the beginner is a three step process.
1. First and foremost, you need to decide which angle you want to market. In other words, are you looking for down line candidates or for product customers? In the same vein, do you want to find individuals who not only want to buy your product but then also turn around and sell it? Each and every angle requires you to use a different approach.
In other words, each and every angle requires you to write your forum posts with great care and expertise – perhaps this is one of the reasons that this is a task most commonly outsourced to an experienced freelance writer.
2. Secondly, you need to create your forum persona. Stay away from obvious monikers that will have other forum participants roll their eyes and instantly steal your credibility. Examples include “make money losing weight” or “wealthy marketer.”
Instead, opt for a persona with a respectable name or handle, if you do not want to use your real name. Next, you need to create a profile. This is a great opportunity to mention your business and also your role in it, but do not turn the forum profile section into a cut and paste job from the company website. There is not a persona live who will read through a lengthy promotional profile. Last but not least, if the forum permits, create a signature. This could include a link to your website, but it will be more effective if it includes a link to a personal blog or even online newsletter with a gripping teaser.
Something like “how a candy bar at three in the morning cost me two hours of sleep and $10” is an example of a headline that will lead to click through traffic simply because it seems to implausible and everyone wants to know more about the story. Do not disappoint the website visitor but instead deliver a gripping tale or blog entry so when you change your signature to feature the next article, those who know you will come and look.
3. Last but not least, do not post lengthy wellness product reviews in a gardening forum. Similarly, do not post an explanation on how to lose weight in a forum dedicated to childhood diseases and autism.
Two cardinal sins are incorporated in this approach: a lengthy posting and an inappropriate venue. Only post in forums that are somehow related to your business. Secondly, keep the posts short and simple, especially when you discuss your product.

BUILDING AN AFFILIATE MARKETING NETWORK VIA THE CLASSIFIEDS

Building an Affiliate Marketing Network via the Classifieds

Almost everyone who discusses the merits of an affiliate marketing network likely focuses on the pay-per-click versus pay-for-performance aspects of this advertising tool, and rightfully so! Online these two programs alone have shown themselves to be the work horses of a successful and diversified affiliate marketing network while at the same time not demanding an undue strain on a company’s promotions budget.
Thus, start up companies in general and home based small business entrepreneurs in particular gravitate to this form of self-promotion like bugs to a strong light source in the dark of night. Yet just like the bugs, many of the smaller businesses get burned not because the product was unsuccessful or the presentation less than professional but instead because the interest simply could not be generated by the participants in the affiliate marketing network who chose to sign up.

In general, those signing up to post links and banners or search boxes onto their sites are looking for the heavy hitters which will lend credibility to the webmaster and her or his site, while smaller merchants are usually avoided because they simply do not offer that air of mainstream acceptance to a site.
In the same vein, many of the webmaster who do sign up for the smaller business affiliate marketing network will most likely be startups themselves, thus in a way countermanding the business’ efforts of reaching a large number of potential customers. Even though the money spent on this kind of advertising is low, it hardly merits the results that are being yielded.

Interestingly, a new trend is developing which is finding great acceptance with smaller businesses and which is proofing to be a money maker to such an extent that it threatens to leave the tried and true pay-per-click or pay-for-performance affiliate marketing network in the dust for home based entrepreneurs: classified ads. Building an affiliate marketing network via the classifieds may sound odd but the more careful attention you pay to this trend, the more sense it makes.

With a few words you have the chance to advertise your network and generate a far-reaching interest in the business. While not each and every online or print publication will permit you to post your ads, in general you will find that you can start getting out the word about your network by posting in a few free, online publications. Research the high traffic sites and post your ads in accordance with their submission guidelines – a much overlooked fact that may get your ad buried if not carefully observed!
Use strong marketing words that require a response by the reader, such as “clicking” or “visiting” and rely on heavy hitters like “proven” or “guaranteed” – only if you can back up the claims, of course. Add a measurable and real benefit to the action, and the odds are good that you will have a visitor for your site. Turning the visitor into a qualified lead, of course, is up to the quality of your site and actual network.

DRAFTING A SUCCESSFUL AFFILIATE MARKETING MERCHANT NETWORK SALES PITCH

Drafting A Successful Affiliate Marketing Merchant Network Sales Pitch

The vital part of a business presentation is the sales. There is no other aspect of the meeting that will carry as much weight as the pitch; no amount of ambiance, product samples, glossy brochures, or witty jokes during the meet and greet session will hide the fact that either your sales pitch was heavy handed, contrived, or so weak that it was hard to notice when it started or ended. Drafting a successful affiliate marketing merchant network sales pitch takes a bit of time, effort, and practice, but it is well worth the investment of some practice time!

For example, did you know that prior to being able to draft such a pitch you will need to be crystal clear on your desired outcome? Many a presenter mistakes a broadly defined goal as the desired outcome, but there is a world of difference between the two. The goal may be defined as turning a lead into either a distributor or a buyer, but the outcome needs to be more closely defined by also including the responses within your listeners you are seeking to evoke.
Do you want them feel stirred into action because of strong emotions or do you want them to feel guilt about not taking their business vision to the next level of profitability and thus act out of that emotion? Do you want to play to their gender (as in “are you man enough” or “be the woman they hear roar”) or do you want to shake them by using their age ranges? Only a well defined outcome will permit you to start the draft of that successful affiliate marketing merchant network sales pitch you desire to write.

Practice your pitch without notes. There is nothing more confidence destroying than a presenter who continuously has to refer back to notes and papers. Memorize every scrap of information and wow the audience by making it to the podium without any visible notes. Heading an affiliate marketing merchant network sales meeting will require your hearers to have not only the utmost confidence in you but also in the material. Since the majority of the meeting will be the delivery of the material, you become closely intertwined with it and thus if you look good, confident, able, and desirable, so will your pitch.

Last but not least, do not get lost in the minutiae. It is so tempting to embellish your affiliate marketing merchant network sales presentation with illustrations and anecdotes and while these most certainly have a place in your pitch, keep in mind that it takes a skilled presenter to include them while at the same time keeping the train of thought moving unerringly in the direction in which it is intended to go.
Failure to keep that in mind will have the audience see you go off on tangents and relate amusing anecdotes, none of which will have any bearing whatsoever on the presentation at hand and may even hurt your chances of getting the audience to buy into the pitch! Watch experienced presenters use this tool of the pitch before utilizing it yourself!

FINDING THE BEST MLM NETWORK OPPORTUNITY

Finding The Best MLM Network Opportunity

MLM (Multi-Level Marketing), also known as Network Marketing, is by no means confined to the online world; in fact it has its roots long before the internet. Some very large and successful companies were built on, and continue to thrive, based on a MLM network model. The way it basically works is this: a company sells products or services through a vast network of independent distributors that sell at retail prices. The distributor usually pays some sort of joining fee or has to buy a certain quantity of the product to gain distributorship status. All MLM network marketing companies work with a solid business foundation. A parent company has a product or service to offer its customers. The networker’s responsibility is two-fold; to find other customers to buy the product and recruitment of new distributors.
Additionally, the network urges distributors to bring in other people to act in the same capacity. The referring distributor then earns commissions on the products that the referred distributor sells. If the distributor they referred also brings in other distributors, the original distributor also receives commissions on those sales and so on. This is the "Multi Level" component. For most people wanting to get into these kinds of businesses, the attraction isn't so much in selling the companies products; it's the conversion of buyers to distributors.
If a person is considering an MLM network opportunity, the following questions need to be asked:
1) Who is your upline? This question goes all the way to the top of the network. Investigate the entire upline just like you would a business partner you'd never met before.
2) What is the product? Become an expert on the product and/or service that’s being offered to clients. Know the competition as well.
3) When will you start actually making money? Don't fall for the line that it takes months or even years to show a profit. You should be able to recoup any investment and start earning income within just a few weeks if there's really demand for the product. Making a living at it is another story.
4) Product promotion? What restrictions are there on where and how the product can be promoted (advertising, web sites, etc.)? There's not a right or wrong answer to this question: an open policy is a more flexible situation.
5) What was the recruitment method? As a customer, with just a mention of a possible income opportunity, or was it a primary pitch about the business opportunity.
6) Why pursue this MLM network opportunity? This is perhaps the most important question of all. Don’t focus on the short-term earnings; the potential marketer should concentrate on the long-term goal.
Essentially, there are no right and wrong answers to these questions concerning a MLM network opportunity. The point is to make sure that everything is known and on the table. Many people have made a lot of money in MLM networks, but many more have ended up wasting a whole lot of time and money chasing a false dream.

FACTORS TO LOOK FOR IN THE MLM COMPANY

Factors To Look For In The MLM Company

The interest in MLM companies has increased so much in the last years. With this interest growth, many new companies have sprung up to join the ranks of the time-tested, older MLM companies. If a motivated person is considering a part-time or even a full time career in the MLM business or also known as network marketing, or just want to see how their current position measures up, there are certain critical factors to look for when choosing an MLM company. There are enough things to be concerned about when building a MLM business, such as sponsoring and advertising, without having to think about whether or not your company will be around next year.
The first factor to consider is stability. It would be the ideal situation to select an MLM company has been around and in business for at least 2 to 6 years. The new start-up MLM companies can be exciting, but there really is something related to the idea of MLM companies that have been around for an extended period of time. Actually, the longer time the MLM company has been around, betters the chance of sticking with it. There are enough things to be concerned about when building a MLM career, such as sponsoring and advertising, without having to think about whether or not the MLM company will be around next year. The person interested in a MLM company should realize that there are never any guarantees, but with a company that has a longer track record generally has more chances of sticking around.
The second factor is to look at the leadership within the MLM company. Factors to examine include the structure, track record, and other such internal factors of the MLM company. If a person does not know the answer to these questions, call or email the company to find out. It is critical to know the answers to these questions from the beginning. The most desired attributes in the MLM company leader is savvy, honesty, and integrity inside and outside of the MLM business world.
The third factor is an examination of the product or service being promoted by the MLM company. Discover if there’s a genuine emphasis on promotion the product and not just the opportunity. Determine the value of the product for the MLM company as well as the value to the market. In addition, the products should be competitively priced, and unique.
The fourth factor is to examine the method of getting started in the particular MLM company. Can people join online, or do they have to fill out paper forms and meet with someone offline in an office? The ability to sign up online makes the whole process a lot simpler. On the same page, having the ability and option to join free will open up your opportunity to even more people. Some MLM companies allow people to join at no charge or at least take a test drive to allow them to see the insides of the business. Once someone has joined free, they have partially committed to the business.
The last factor involves the automation capabilities of the MLM company. More automation in the MLM company is definitely a better option. The parent company should provide a MLM company website that prospects can be referred to. The prospect should be able to contact you from that specific page, and the MLM company should send emails that follow up with the prospects.

EXPLORING THE ONLINE MARKETING NETWORK

Exploring The Online Marketing Network

The internet and the World Wide Web (www) have attracted much attention since its appearance. The positive aspect of the internet is that businesses of all sizes have the same amount of exposure.

The internet is essentially a sales channel, directed towards the consumer.

The online marketing networker will get more attention from the online prospect than any other method. The personal interaction is present which produces a very intimate selling situation.
Some people are uncomfortable with the internet, due to high tech phobias or to not understanding the associated jargon. The technology is not the relevant issue to the online marketing network. The relevant issue is that the internet represents a “high touch.” The internet provides the online marketing networker a one-to-one relationship with prospects and builds lasting relationships with consumers in a very personal and individualized manner.
The internet is a different marketing medium that requires its own rules and regulations for doing online marketing effectively. Instead of the advertisers sending a message to a targeted audience that acts or dismisses the call to action, online consumers seek out information and advertising. The consumers are the initiators of communication. Yet the internet is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Success on the internet requires full understanding of the concept, hard work, attention to detail, and constant promotional activity. The internet as a marketing tool is not about fancy graphics only; it's also about valuable industry information, professional marketing efforts and reliable hosting service, making it fast and easy to download information.

EXPLORING THE AFFILIATE MLM NETWORK

Exploring The Affiliate MLM Network

Affiliate marketing is also the name of the industry where a number of different types of companies and individuals are performing a form of internet marketing, including affiliate networks, affiliate management companies and in-house affiliate managers, specialized 3rd party vendors and various types of affiliates/publishers who utilize a number of different methods to advertise the products and services of their merchant/advertiser partners.

A whole social and business culture is built around the Affiliate MLM Network with conferences, conventions and training products available at a price.
Affiliate marketing often overlaps with other internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates are using the same methods as most of the merchants themselves do. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, email marketing and to some degree display advertising.
Affiliate MLM networks that have already a number of advertisers usually also have a large number of publishers already.

The affiliate MLM networker must have a positive opinion of the product and/or service that’s being offered to the public. In other words, the affiliate MLM networker must own the product and/or service. If the affiliate doesn’t like the product, that person shouldn’t be selling it in the first place. However, if the affiliate has decided to promote and sell the product, that person needs to know the product. By accomplishing this task, the affiliate MLM networker is prepared to vouch for product and/or service credibility. The affiliate builds up personal image as someone who is an expert in the field and can be trusted. This image will ensure positive income in the future. Credibility will become the most important asset to the affiliate MLM networker. The end result will all depend on the affiliate MLM networker alone.

DO YOU KNOW THE BEST MARKETING MLM NETWORK BUSINESSES CAN HOPE TO FIND

Do You Know The Best Marketing MLM Network Businesses Can Hope To Find?

The best marketing MLM network businesses can hope to find are interestingly not located in the act of generating leads. So much of today’s training material is solely geared toward helping novices and even the more seasoned network marketers alike to generate interest in the product, the business, the concept of network marketing, and the various ways of engaging an individual in the discussion. Close attention is being paid to the way the glossy brochures are to be arranged on a table, how the samples should be handed out, where the presentations ought to be held, what to do to create and ambiance that is conducive to buying, and of course how a presenter will be able to correctly see and interpret buying signals given off by an interested lead.

Yet surprisingly, there is precious little being said about the one marketing vehicle that makes it all possible. No, it is not the Internet, the website, the meeting room where a live sales presentation may be scheduled to be held, or even the ad that got the audience into the door to begin with! All of these are important, of course, and in many ways will support that most valuable of all assets as it does its stuff and turns leads into qualified leads, buyers, or down line candidates. The best marketing MLM network businesses can hope to find is the very person of the presenter!

Is this little nugget of information a let down? Perhaps you were searching for that silver bullet that would turn each and every sales presentation into a surefire moneymaker for you and your business? If so, you have not yet realized that it is the presenter her- or himself who will make or break the business! * Consider the fact that the audience must understand the information it is being given. To create this kind of an understanding in a diverse group, your business requires an individual who can connect with the audience one individual at a time! This kind of ability will generate an amazing amount of credibility not only in the presenter of the product or business, but also in the business itself and each and every person who is representing it!* Come to terms with the understanding that your product or business is only as trustworthy as the person in front of the room who is presenting it. If she or he looks shifty, is caught in disseminating misinformation, or appears genuinely untrustworthy, this attitude will immediately be transferred onto your business.

The power that is held by your presenter is uncanny. The best marketing MLM network businesses can hope to find is a trustworthy individual presenter who knows the product, is able to articulate the strengths but also weaknesses of the item, is knowledgeable about the network marketing process, and has bought into the concept of multi level marketing with determination, commitment, and unwavering belief that the system works. If you are such a presenter or have found one for your business, it does not matter if the meeting takes place in an unheated utility room in the basement of a bowling alley – your leads will become qualified leads virtually in an instant!

If you can believe the hype propagated on the Internet, large quantities of leads are the lifeblood of the network marketing business. It does not matter if you are involved in multi level marketing (MLM) or any other kind of marketing network endeavor, the failure to generate leads is most commonly equated with the failure of the business venture while success in generating these leads is considered the surefire way of succeeding in the business of your choice. Even though there is a kernel of truth to this school of thought, it leaves out a most important object lesson and caveat: to differentiate generic marketing leads from qualified MLM network leads.

An unqualified lead is anyone and everyone you might meet on the street. Complete strangers whom you hand a business card in passing are unqualified leads. Your family and circle of friends are perhaps the best examples of unqualified leads! They could be leads simply because out of love and respect for you they will permit you to give them your sales presentation, but they are unqualified in that they have not actually expressed an interest in the product you are selling or the company you are representing. Do not misunderstand: there is a chance that any lead, no matter how generic and unqualified, may be turned into a qualified lead, yet this is a time consuming process that relies on the skill, product knowledge and determination of the network marketer.

On the flipside of this coin is the qualified lead. Usually it is a person who has sought out you or your website to get more information about the product you are selling, the service you are providing and also the business you are representing. Similarly, a qualified lead is someone who is familiar with the network marketing industry and wants to become involved but might still be searching for just the right niche to buy into. Such leads are worth their weight in gold! Does this mean that each and every qualified lead will turn into a customer or down line candidate? By no means! As a matter of fact, the individual may decide that your product or business and she or he simply do not represent a good fit. Fledgling marketers may also turn off qualified leads because of incompetence. Yet by and large marketing to a qualified lead is a lot easier than trying to turn a generic lead into a qualified one.

Thus it is a questionable practice for the beginning marketer to purchase leads sights unseen. Nine times out of ten this transaction will cost a fair amount of money and net the marketer generic leads, such as may have been generated with a “make money while you sleep ad” or similar promotions. Conversely, purchasing qualified leads is a lot more expensive yet also an investment well worth making! These leads are usually collected during network marketing seminars when individuals are being introduced to the concept and express interest in learning more about the industry or the wellness aspect thereof. Yet keep in mind that even if you differentiate generic marketing lead from qualified MLM network lead and not spend even one penny on an unqualified lead, you may still not close the deal! There is no guarantee in network marketing, only a leg up.

DIRECT NETWORK MARKETING ADVERTISEMENT TO NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIBERS

Direct Network Marketing Advertisement to Newsletter Subscribers

Do you know the number one reason why visitors to your website will not sign up for your free newsletter? They have been burnt before! Either their email address was abused for endless mailings, or the newsletter was so boring – usually because it was nothing more than one big ad directly cut and pasted from the advertisement brochures – that it was hardly worth their while to even read it only once.

Direct network marketing advertisement to newsletter subscribers in small doses and do it carefully, judiciously, and respectfully. While some network marketers will outsource this aspect of the business, fledgling marketers will not have the resources for this step. Do not despair if this is you! Instead, take heart in the fact that it is incredibly easy to draft a well thought out newsletter, insert your product information, and make it so interesting that you will have consumers signing up for it even if initially they are not at all interested in your product or the company you are representing.

As you direct network marketing advertisement to newsletter subscribers, keep in mind that a reader of your newsletter is not reading it to be polite but because you are giving them something of value. Perhaps not surprisingly, the ads for your product or business are not the item of value they have in mind. Instead, the average reader will look for general content, such as gardening advice, cooking tips, exercise help, or even dog training tricks. Depending on the product you represent, ad text and general content can flow together seamlessly and actually support one another rather than being almost mutually exclusive.

The best tip for the fledgling marketer is to create a basic newsletter that has the business or product in mind but does not make reference to it in any way. You might design a trivia section, a word puzzle, a give away, and include a number of general content articles, poems, and other items. Stay away from politics and religion! Not only was mom right when she suggested not discussing these topics in polite company, but for the sake of marketing they can be the kiss of death if your readers are not on the same side of the political aisle or worship the same deity! Keep it neutral but informative.

Once your initial draft is complete, look for spots where you can include information about your business or product in such a way that it will flow naturally rather than being a contrived commercial break; after all, as you direct network marketing advertisement to the reader of your newsletter, you want to make the experience enjoyable and also valuable! Commercial breaks detract from value while integrated product information ads value!

In the same vein, those who may not like the idea of signing up for anything that requires an email address, design a special page for newsletter signups and include your privacy policy which unequivocally states your intent for the use of any information you are gathering during sign up. Similarly, post a sample newsletter for visitors to read. This will increase interest and may overcome the objection of those who may still be teetering on the fence whether or not to entrust you with their email information.

DO NOT LET SEARCH ENGINES BLACKLIST YOUR NETWORK MARKETING PRODUCT SITE

Do Not Let Search Engines Blacklist Your Network Marketing Product Site!

Which Internet marketer has not heard the horror stories of the multi level marketing (MLM) newbie who struck out for her- or himself without much help from an up line and probably also by disregarding each and every ounce of good advice offered by many a website and tutorial and instead built a website advertising the product or service for sale?
Yet to the fledgling marketer’s surprise, no hits are being registered and in spite of tweaking and pruning the site every which way from Sunday, the traffic is still only trickling in, most of it being accidental rather than targeted. The sad reality is simple: unbeknownst to the new network marketer, the lovingly crafted site she or he spent so much time working on was blacklisted! Do not let search engines blacklist your network marketing product site!

Granted, the fledgling marketer from the example above probably was not quite as pure as the driven snow and instead may have engaged, wittingly or unwittingly, in some rather shady online practices which most major search engines will view as an immediate reason to blacklist the site. Here are some examples:
* Perhaps the most egregious offense is the use of irrelevant keywords within the website’s metatags or even within the body of the site just to generate more hits. Thus, if you are working on promotion a network marketing product related to wellness, the inclusion of several highly searched key terms, such as cancer, heart attack, stroke, and various other ailments will get you blacklisted, especially if the wellness product is not at all tangentially related to any of these conditions.
* Submitting a website manually or automatically time and again to the same search engine is considered spamming. In the past it was done to ensure a higher ranking of the site, but with the modernization of the process, search engines are very sensitive to being spammed. Do it one too many times and your site will no longer be included in the search results.
* Beware the lure of the mirror site. Once again, this methodology is a blast from the past when it was thought to guarantee a higher ranking within the search engine’s ranking hierarchy. Yet with the advent of optimization procedures, mirror sites are considered to be a relic of the past and those who continue to utilize the technology that in the past allowed them to submit the exactly identical site with a different URL to a search engine will find that neither web address will be accepted.

There are a number of other tips, tricks, and schemes employed by those who design websites for their network marketing product. Do not fall for the lure of easy rankings at the expense of the integrity of your site. It is not just the search engine robots that catch on to your shenanigans, but it is also a more and more technologically astute populace that will realize your ploy and thus you will instantly lose a massive dose of credibility. This, in the Internet marketing business, is the death knell which must be avoided at all costs!

A SUCCESSFUL NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS RELIES ON CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

A Successful Network Marketing Business Relies On Customer Relationship Management


The connection that exists between closed sales and a profitable quarter is equal to the connection that may be found between customer relationship management and a successful network marketing business. As a matter of fact, a successful network marketing business relies on customer relationship management as its one stock in trade that will promise to yield results no matter what the market does! Customer relationship marketing is somewhat complicated by the fact that although it is a widely applicable concept that applies across the board to all forms of commerce, it also varies greatly from one merchant to the next.

In spite of these differences, there are also some similarities which are a good starting point for your business, especially if you are uncertain if you are truly making the most of your network marketing business with respect to building, maintaining, and deepening relationships with your customers. * Perhaps the most important aspect that will help you to get a good idea as to how to treat your customers and manage the relationships they have with you will have to date back to the point of first contact.
When, where, and why did the customer – or potential customer – contact you in the first place? * What made your product or network marketing business attractive enough to the individual to send you an email or call you? Find out what the words and phrases were that you used and the idea you were trying to get through, and in so doing you will discovery which need of your customer you addressed on that day.* Once you have identified the need that the customer believed your product or network marketing business could fulfill, it is essential that you become familiar with your customer’s time schedule.
For example, if staying home with the kids during the summer vacation is of importance to the consumer, and you know that you have three months left until the first day of summer vacation, you will have just formulated your actual window of opportunity for closing the deal and introducing another candidate to your down line! Work with the time frame provided and help your customer understand how she or he can put this time frame to work in order to achieve their stated goal!*
Do not be bashful but ask! While this may sound like the proverbial car salesman question of “what’s it going to take for you to buy this car today,” this kind of question is not without merit, and while it is advisable to stay away as far as possible from sales related clichés, there are times when they do come in handy. Find out which objections, if any, the customer has, what constraints them, what concerns them, and what is that little push that you could provide in order to make the customer close the deal.

A successful network marketing business relies on customer relationship management more heavily than is often given it credit for and while the hunt for lead will almost certainly continue to take over the lions’ share of the average network marketer’s attention, while it is the relationship savvy marketer who will become successful.

A BASIC GUIDE TO THE MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) NETWORK

A Basic Guide To The Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Network

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is also referred to as network marketing. The MLM is essentially a type of business model that combines direct marketing with franchising. The term business model describes a vast range of informal and formal models that are used by companies to represent various aspects of business, such as operational processes, organizational structures, and financial forecasts.
The MLM business functions by enrolling unsalaried salespeople to sell products and meanwhile earn additional sales commissions based on the sales of people enrolled into their downline, an organization of people that includes direct recruits, recruits' recruits and so on. This arrangement is similar to franchises where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager. There can be multiple levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales.
New MLM members may be required to pay for their own training and marketing materials, or to buy a significant amount of inventory to start their career. The compensation plans vary from one MLM business to the other, but there are basic plans in place. The Unilevel or Stairstep Breakaway plans are the oldest and most popular in the MLM business. These plans features two types of distributors either managers or non-managers. The pay method of these plans includes Baseshop overrides where there are overrides of managers from their subordinate non-managers.
This method is the same as any other type of sales organization. Generational overrides are overrides of managers from the baseshop of managers who were previously their subordinate. Most plans compensate at least three generations of such managers. Executive bonuses are commissions for managers who exceed a posted sales quota. For example, 2% of the total company sales revenue may go to a bonus pool that is shared monthly to managers who exceed $10,000 in that month. Commissions are based on the aspect of cycles, where a distributor is paid a fixed amount whenever both legs achieve a certain number of sales units each. Commissions are paid incrementally when the sales volume in each leg matches.
In recent years, the MLM business has developed an image problem due to its resemblance to the illegal pyramid or other similar schemes. MLM businesses operate in the United States in all 50 states and in more than 100 other countries around the world. Many pyramid schemes try to present themselves as legitimate MLM businesses. In the legitimate MLM companies, commissions are earned only on sales of the company's products and/or services.
No money may be earned from recruiting alone through sign-up fees, though money earned from the sales of members recruited is one attraction of MLM arrangements. A commonly adopted test of legality is that MLMs follow the so-called 70% rule which prevents members "inventory loading" in order to qualify for additional bonuses. The 70% rule requires participants to sell 70% of previously purchased inventory before procuring new orders.
There are however variations in interpretations of this rule. Some attorneys insist that 70% of purchased inventory should be sold to people who are not participants in the business, while many MLM companies allow for self-consumption to be a significant part of the sales of a participant. The Federal Trade Commission offers advice for potential MLM members to help them identify those activities that could be scams.

EFFECTIVE LEAD GENERATION, MLM, MARKETING NETWORK BUSINESS PRESENTATIONS

Effective Lead Generation, MLM, Marketing Network Business Presentations

Any network marketer worth her or his keep will want to see the network grow by leaps and bounds but in so doing, the individual understand that only a team player approach will facilitate the goal. Working closely in concert with the up line of which you are a part, you must understand the direction in which those ahead of you are taking the business overall, and thus you will know which springboard to use in order to present your corner of the market. Forget the notion about the marketing maverick that swims against the stream and ends up owning the company. This is the kind of fodder that might have made great the movies which play on the “from mail room to board room” advancement of the little guy, but in real life these situations are not doable.

That said, you will do well to retain your individuality and make use of your one of a kind ability when pursuing effective lead generation, MLM, marketing network business presentations, or even just when you are manning the sample stand at the local mall. There is something about you as a person that will draw individuals to you and the business you are representing which is unique to your personality and you will be wise to learn about yourself what it is that draws people and then use it to your best advantage. Yet even as you make the most of your animal magnetism or open kindness that draws in virtual stranger to stop and talk to you, honing some tried and true presentation skills is still part and parcel of the entire package and the odds of your succeeding in either lead generation MLM, marketing network business presentations or any other kind of venture without it are slim.

To this end, a much overlooked aspect of the presentation is the ability to adequately convey a purpose. Why are you standing at the mall handing out samples? Obviously, you are most likely doing it because someone asked you to, but aside from that fact, as an entrepreneur involved in lead generation MLM, and marketing network business building, why are you in front of the general public with your product? Having the ability to answer this question succinctly and completely is the key to successfully and effectively make it in this line of work.

Identifying the desired outcome of your presentation, honing in on the effect you are attempting to create, and knowing ahead of time which kinds of emotions you want to evoke in your customers or potential leads is the most vital and yet at the same time most commonly neglected aspect of any product or business opportunity presentation. Leads will only be generated if you appeal to something deep within the mind or heart of each individual audience member that will compel the person to see you - and by extension the product and company you are representing – as the answer to a need they may not have had a chance to put a finger on.
The one and only way to achieve this admittedly lofty goal is to find the emotional appeal of your product or business opportunity and then follow it up with the intellectual appeal. This, in a nutshell is the secret to effective lead generation MLM, marketing network business presentations, and all related activities.

HOW NOT TO INTERACT WITH A QUALIFIED NETWORK MARKETING SALES LEAD

How Not To Interact With a Qualified Network Marketing Sales Lead

Network marketers are always on the lookout for leads. While it is true that leads are all around, the occasion of finding a qualified lead is like finding a rare gem among the rocks in your yard!
You will want to be carefully extracting this lead from the mass of other leads, incorporate it into your marketing network and then make it shine! Yet there are some tips and tricks to observe on how to accomplish. Endless amounts of e-books are being composed almost on a daily basis - all of which revolves around the idea of how to persuade an individual to buy into your company, overcome “no,” and press on ahead one objection at a time. Yet there is precious little being said about how not to interact with a qualified network marketing sales lead.

Sure, some training materials will go so far as to advise you to know your material and not try to pull on over on the prospective lead; even as this is valuable advice, it does not give you a cut and dried list of items to avoid. Fortunately, the list of how not to interact with a qualified network marketing sales lead is mercifully short:
1. Stay away from race, color, creed, nationality, and gender. It does not matter if you personally believe that women make better salespeople than men, and that religious folk are more honest in their business dealings than those who do not profess any belief. Such kind of stereotypes are offensive, and even the most qualified lead will not want to be caught up doing business with someone she or he perceives to be a bigot.
2. The failure to present the company information from an angle that is markedly different than the one used in the marketing brochures will lead to a tepid regurgitation of printed facts, and thus to an insult of the lead’s intelligence.
3. As you are spending time with the person, do not answer the cell phone. Sure, it might be a potential customer calling, but unless you make the lead feel like she or he is the most important person in your universe right then and there, this feeling of trust will not be there when the time comes to become integrated in a big down line.
4. Do not flaunt your wealth. While you want to dress nice, this is not the time to point to your Cartier watch or Armani suit. Instead, it is the time to discreetly show what the business can do for a dedicated person without actually calling any overt attention to it.
5. Do not come across as though you are unsuccessful. Cut off jeans, sneakers with holes, unwashed hair, and a free ball point pen from a hotel are not confidence inspiring to a person who is thinking of signing on as your network marketing sales lead. If you are a business person, entrepreneur, or sales agent, you need to dress the part. Clothes make the man (or woman).

HOW TO DETERMINE THE PRICE FOR YOUR AFFILIATE MARKETING NETWORK SOFTWARE

How to Determine the Price for Your Affiliate Marketing Network Software

You are finally ready to market your product and chomping at the bit to get moving. The affiliate marketing network software package you designed has been tested, tweaked, tested again, and is finally ready to be debuted to the general public and hopefully also eager network marketers who are willing to spend a pretty penny on this little bit of code that will make life so much easier for them! How to determine the price for your affiliate marketing network software package, however, is a hurdle you have not yet been able to overcome and even though the site is ready, you have spent the last three days agonizing on what to charge for your software package.

You might have had a figure in mind – early on – but after perusing some competitors’ sites and finding out what they have to offer, you might no longer be so sure of yourself. After all, if you are charging too much money, you will virtually drive your customers, whom you just painstakingly convinced of their need for your affiliate marketing network software package, to their websites and pretty much closed their deals for them. Conversely, if you fail to charge enough to make a profit, then you might as well just quit now before you spend another dime that you will not recuperate since you are thinking of selling your product at a loss.

While there is no hard and fast rule that establishes how to determine the price for your affiliate marketing network software, there are some general tips to consider:
1. Even though your competition’s pricing structure should have a marginal influence on your pricing decisions, it should not be the driving force.
2. You need to make enough money to cover your overhead and then still bring in a little extra, which is referred to as your net profit. Since the net profit is the money you will use for expansion and also for your personal salary, you want to charge sufficiently to ensure that it falls within the agreed upon limits of your marketing plan.
3. If you find that your markup is higher than that of other software developers, find a way to sell the consumer on your product by offering a little something extra that will not cost you a lot of money.
This could be free technical support for three months, a subscription for technical support services for a year, an e-book on the advantages of using affiliate marketing network software to increase the marketers’ profit margin (by far the least expensive option), or any other little commodity that will set your product apart from the rest.

As you can see, how to determine the price for your affiliate marketing network software package depends in large part on your marketing plan and your ability to up-sell your services.
Measuring yourself against the yard stick of the competition, especially the big box stores, will not only tempt you to sell yourself short but may seriously jeopardize your ability to turn a profit, and thus expand your business, within a reasonable period of time.

HOW TO GET MARKETING NETWORK TRAINING

How to Get Marketing Network Training

When you join a marketing network, the person who brought you into the program is called a sponsor. It is your sponsor who will provide all of the marketing network training you need in order to build your network and get your own distributorship running smoothly. Your sponsor will never leave you on your own until he or she feels you are ready, and his or her job is to stand beside you any time you need any help. After all, your sponsor depends on you for his success.

When you first join a network marketing organization, your sponsor will hold your hand and make sure you know what to do. All of the training you receive will be from your sponsor and those above him in the line of sponsorship. Unlike other types of sales organizations, network marketing needs everyone to help train new people because they cannot be successful unless they are properly training. The success of each individual distributor determines the success of the organization as a whole. Each distributor must work together as a team in order for the entire network to achieve success.

In addition to the sponsor many network marketing organizations also have books as well as audio and visual tools to help new distributors build their distributorships. All of the methods of training benefit everyone in the organization, and when all of the distributors learn everything they need to learn, the entire network will benefit. It's important for the survival of the entire network for each distributor to receive ample training to know what they need to do in order to reach the level of their sponsor and above.

Marketing network training is important for everyone in the organization. If the distributors are not trained properly, they will not be able to build their networks to the level that will make the entire network grow. Only through training is it possible for a marketing network to become a giant money making venture, and everything needs to work together in order to make it successful.

The training afforded by everyone within the network marketing network is important to the success of the individual network as well as the rest of the organization. You have to keep in mind that in a network marketing organization, each person makes money based upon the sales and sponsorships of those under them that they personally sponsored. Of course, it also filters to those in the lead position, so the more successful each individual distributorship is, the more successful the organization as a whole will be.

If you're interested in securing a position in network marketing, you have to understand the great amount of work that is involved in order to build the network. Sometime a potential sponsor will tell you there is very little work is involved, but you learn quickly how much work is involved. Minimal work means minimal network building, and thus minimal sales. If you want to have a huge network, you have to do the work.

2) The second suggestion involves the development of an impressive statement in the marketing network ezine’s subject line. Often emails are not read because the email does not stand out in comparison with other emails in a potential client’s inbox.
3) The third suggestion for a successful marketing network ezine is to continually offer incentives (i.e. gifts, free reports, or tips) and change the ezine’s content for potential clients. Keep them wanting to read a specific marketing network ezine. There are a variety of tutorials on the internet that will go through the actual steps of building a marketing network ezine.

Ezines are the newest way to quickly and effectively provide information to the general public, and any person with the passion for a particular subject can run one.

The reason you need to give your zip code is because that is used to help determine how valuable your home really is. Furthermore, different laws apply to reverse mortgages in different cities and/or states.

The birthday is required to help identify your eligibility based upon age. Usually the minimum age requirement is about 62 years. However, this may vary from lender to lender.

The estimated home value will determine how little or how much risk you are, and the amount you paid towards your mortgage determines how much money you will receive. The mortgage balance due would count against how much you have paid.

Another way to determine how much or how little reverse mortgage funding you can receive would be to simply fill out a loan application. If you feel comfortable with a particular lender, you can either fill out an application online or you can sent in a completed paper application.

Usually the process can take at last a few weeks. However, the sooner you send in the needed information to the lendor the sooner you can be approved for your reverse mortgage loan.

Factors besides age, location, and value of your home that will determine how much of a Financial Freedom reverse mortgage you can receive include the aspects listed below: Amount of FHA funding available in your area, the type of lender you choose (Financial Freedom or otherwise), and total loan costs.

The application for a reverse mortgage involves a number of basic steps. The first one is to fill out the initial reverse loan application. This usually involves consultation and/or filling out papers which include personal financial information.

The next step in the reverse mortgage application process is usually the appraisal. This involves the hiring of a qualified professional to determine how much your home is really worth if it were to be sold.

Along with the appraisal step, an inspection would need to be made. The home inspection will determine how structurally sound your home is and if any improvements need to be made.

The next step in the reverse mortgage process stage is the underwriting stage. This is the time when your application is being reviewed for possible approval. The last step is called the closing, and this is when you receive your Financial Freedom reverse mortgage funding.
